Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, den Einfluss von Apps und virtuellen Welten auf die Akzeptanz und die Motivation von Läufern zu ermitteln. Dafür wird der Begriff der Motivation anhand von Motivationsmodellen erklärt und auf den Laufsport angewendet. Durch den praktischen Teil der Arbeit, wurde mittels einer Studie herausgefunden wie Probanden auf virtuelle Welten während einer Laufeinheit auf einem Laufband reagieren und diese bewerten. Die Grundlage und Idee des Themas dieser Bachelorarbeit, war unter anderem eine virtuelle Laufapp. 2009 gab es an der Hochschule Furtwangen die Projektgruppe „Virtual Marathon“. Unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Dittler, war das Ziel des Projektes eine virtuelle Welt für den Laufsport zu erschaffen. Dafür filmte die Gruppe verschiedene Laufstrecken ab und projizierte diese Videos anschließend auf eine Leinwand, vor welcher ein Laufband installiert wurde. Heutige Apps nutzen dieselbe Technik, nur auf aktuellerem Stand und mit einer Vielzahl von mehr Strecken.
The purpose of this paper has been to find out if the reengineering project at Daimler Trucks has been successful. In order to eloquently do so, the field of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) has been researched with regard to performance measurement. The theoretical part of the thesis concluded with choosing one methodology out of the findings.
The second part is about the consequences of Daimler AG top management’s decision, reacting to changes in business environment, to restructure the Finance organization of all its divisions. Daimler Trucks used that change which included office relocation of the accountants to where their controlling colleagues have been seated and the newly gained local proximity to execute the project Integration Accounting & Controlling (IAC). The goal has been to reengineer the closing process by eliminating redundancies and defining clear responsibilities.
The third part of the thesis is presenting the result of measuring process performance before and after reengineering according to the derived research methodology of part 1. Quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation shows an increase in efficiency and effectiveness. A conducted online survey, asking all involved employees, aligns with this result and names key success factors such as communication and transparency. Despite the undeniable success of IAC, maintaining a continuous improvement process is recommended.
The goal of this thesis is to give an overview of the carbon footprint of the commercial aviation industry and to introduce measures to mitigate emissions. This will be done by taking the German Lufthansa Group as an example.
In the first part, relevant theoretical background information will be given. It will be shown that the commercial aviation industry is subject to steady and relatively strong growth. Even though the global share of GHG emissions caused by air traffic is currently relatively low, it is projected to increase in accordance with overall industry growth.
In the second part, measures taken by the aviation industry to reduce its emissions are presented using the example of Lufthansa. The measures that are taken are various, reaching from fleet renewal over infrastructural improvements such as airspace management to alternative fuels. It is also shown that the efficiency of an airline depends on different things and hence leads to different performances in the industry.
Even though the reduction of emissions is typically related with a reduction of costs for the aviation industry, the progress in some areas is still relatively slow.
Beginning in the mid 2007’s the US financial market started to slide into the “worst financial crisis since the Great Depression of the early 1930’s” (Thakor, 2015: p.156). The domino effect of several events and occasions were leading first to a countrywide recession in the USA then later spreading globally. In the following this term paper will deal with the main causes and effects of 2008 financial crisis. Unlike other topics in literature there is no consensus about the question of guilt in this sense. Among economists there are different approaches to explain the main causes of the financial crisis.
