Global key account management is the use of the key account management system aimed at global accounts; these global accounts can also be known as multinational companies. These types of companies are key players for business-to-business model companies as they might account for as much as 80% of all sales. At this level of importance, to lose a customer like that could be a death sentence for the business. Adopting a global key account management to keep these essential types of customers is a good strategy, knowing the tremendous value they provide. The company MinebeaMitsumi, being aware of this, brings up the case study for the initiation of a global key account management system, that will bring a best in class service to the key accounts of MinebeaMitsumi in the automotive market. To start this project, it is needed an assessment of the current situation in which MinebeaMitsumi operates to its key accounts. At the same time, it is intended to upgrade the digital infrastructure MinebeaMitsumi uses for its operations. The case study is presented as an exploration and analysis of MinebeaMitsumi and how should this new system be implemented in an early stage. This way, preparing the ground for a larger project at the time of full implementation.
Die Volkshochschulen befinden sich im Zentrum des Weiterbildungslandschafts und sind fast in jedem kleinen Ort zu finden. Sie verfügen über ein reiches Angebot und erfüllen den politischen Auftrag des Staats. Der Lockdown im März-Mai 2020 hat die Arbeit der Volkshochschulen in vielen Aspekten beeinflusst. Die totale Schulschließung wegen der Corona-Epidemie hat aktuelle Probleme der VHS hervorgehoben. Dazu fehlende Analyse der Zufriedenheit und Wahrnehmung der Teilnehmer über die VHS-Angebote, Schwierigkeiten bei der Digitalisierung des Lernprozesses, mangelhafte Medienkompetenzen von einigen Dozenten und Kursteilnehmern usw.
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird das VHS-Portfolio, Teilnehmerbereitschaft zum Online Learning, Teilnehmerzufriedenheit und Bewusstsein über die VHS-Angebote vor dem Hintergrund der Corona-Epidemie kritisch untersucht. Die Arbeit enthält auch eine SWOT-Analyse und die Analyse einiger VHS-Wettbewerber. Ein dreiwöchiges Experiment mit der Lerngruppe und seine Ergebnisse wurden beschrieben und interpretiert.
The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the impact the choice of registered cooperatives as legal form for start-ups can have on the success of crowdfunding campaigns regarding information asymmetry and agency costs. The theoretical analysis argues that due to the reduction of information asymmetry between founders and contributors, agency costs should be reduced,and success of their crowdfunding campaigns should be more likely. This result is confirmed with some caveats with the help of expert interviews. In conclusion, only companies that aim for additional benefits of registered cooperatives are eligible to be founded as registered cooperatives in order to decrease information asymmetry and increase chances of success in crowdfunding.
Throughout the paper, the different concepts are applied to the practical example of the founding process of a social start-up, the Zeitcafé Freiburg, which results in the recommendation of registered cooperatives as legal form and crowdfunding as one source of capital.
In recent years, the topics of new work and agile practices have received growing at-tention. The concept and mindset Working Out Loud are embedded in this field. It is described by five practices and attitudes being visible work, relationships, leading with generosity, purposeful discovery, and having a growth mindset.
The present study attempts to evaluate whether it holds that this concept is predomi-nantly adopted by employees in hierarchical companies. The underlying assumption is that employees in hierarchical settings are deprived of a sense of self-efficacy which they gain by applying Working Out Loud. The results and conclusions are based on a combination of the findings of existing academic literature and the outcomes of con-ducted interviews with Working Out Loud promoters. As the concept Working Out Loud is not yet scientifically proven, the interviews are particularly important to draw relevant conclusions. For this purpose, employees were asked questions aiming at de-fining the present organizational structure in their companies and the underlying rea-sons for them engaging in Working Out Loud practices.
The conducted interviews and analyses yielded the result that employees tend to adopt Working Out Loud practices due to an underlying missing sense of self-efficacy, among other reasons. It could be shown that although not previously selected, the in-terview sample of Working Out Loud promoters appeared to be predominantly posi-tioned in hierarchical structures. Whether this proves the hypothesis right or whether the benefit and visible change in a hierarchical context is higher than in an agile one, needs to be further analyzed in future research.
The present thesis attempts to answer the question “What makes a bond green?” by analysing the current status of the green bond market with regards to its regulation and evaluating the need for harmonizing green bond standards.
A green bond, which is characterized by allocating its proceeds exclusively to climate-related or environmental projects, is a relatively novel sustainable financing instrument that has recorded exponential growth since the first issuance in 2007. The green bond market has developed as a privately regulated market leading to a range of different green bond standards and other market mechanisms used for verifying green bonds, of which some have developed into best practice followed by most issuers. This fragmented regulation and the lack of a globally accepted green bond standard leads to the difficulty in clearly identifying what makes a bond green.
By analysing the current best practice and comparing green bond standards this paper identifies the differences between existing standards and suggests the further harmonization of standards as an important prerequisite for the further growth of the green bond market. Consequently, the challenges related to the private nature of green bond regulation is reviewed, leading to the conclusion that the intervention of the government and establishment of public regulation for green bonds could be considered. With regards to the further expansion of the green bond market the EU Green Bond Standard that is currently under development by the European Commission is critically analysed.

"Die Welt von morgen ändert sich [...]. Am Ende ist der persönliche, menschliche Kontakt entscheidend für ein internationales Geschäft.“-R. Metze
In einer von Krisen und Konflikten geprägten Welt, in der sich das Handlungsumfeld eines Unternehmens ständig verändert, steht gerade im Dienstleistungssektor nach wie vor der Mensch im Fokus. Zwischenmenschliche Kontakte und Humanressourcen stellen somit eine wichtige Grundlage für internationale Vorhaben dar. Diese sind jedoch nicht alleiniger Bestandteil einer erfolgreichen Internationalisierungsstrategie. Um darzustellen, welche weiteren Punkte in der Planung einer Internationalisierung berücksichtigt werden müssen, gibt die vorliegende Arbeit eine Übersicht über relevante strategische Vorgehensweisen in Bezug auf Internationalisierung und formuliert anschließend darauf aufbauende Handlungsempfehlungen für eine in der Zukunft liegende geographische Expansion für die Communardo Software GmbH. Daraus ergibt sich folgende dieser Arbeit zugrundeliegende dreiteilige Fragestellung: Welche strategischen Ansätze zur Umsetzung einer Internationalisierung gibt es, wie werden diese in der IT-Dienstleistungsbranche erfolgreich umgesetzt und welche Handlungsoptionen lassen sich daraus für die Communardo Software GmbH ableiten?
Die Beantwortung dieser Frage erfolgt mithilfe von acht qualitativen Experteninterviews, einer induktiv-qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse und einer Literaturrecherche. So können relevante Informationen zusammengetragen und sinnvolle, erfolgsversprechende Handlungsoptionen formuliert werden. Aufgrund der Dynamik des Handlungsfeldes und der Notwendigkeit einer intensiven Unternehmens- und Umweltanalyse, werden diese Handlungsoptionen in Form von drei Planungsschritten, innerhalb eines strategischen Vorbereitungsprozesses ausgearbeitet. So kann aufbauend auf diesen Planungsschritten unter Einbezug unternehmens- und situationsspezifischer Faktoren eine auf das Unternehmen angepasste Internationalisierungsstrategie konzipiert werden.

Viele Überlegungen zu E-Learning waren in den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten stark getrieben von Visionen – didaktischen, lerntheoretischen oder auch gesellschaftlichen. Auch durch die oftmals starke Fokussierung auf die technischen Aspekte kamen die zentralen Akteure – nämlich die Lernenden – und deren Bedürfnisse und Anforderungen bei den konzeptionellen Überlegungen oft zu kurz und wurden nicht ausreichend berücksichtigt. Nach einem kurzen Blick auf die Treiber und Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre und Jahrzehnte wird in diesem Beitrag an Hand von mehreren aktuellen Studien (z. B. der Studie „Einsatz neuer Technologien im Unterricht“, mit über 4.000 befragten Teilnehmenden) der Frage nachgegangen, inwieweit Digitalisierung bei den Studierenden konkret angekommen ist und was deren Wünsche und Erwartungen in diesem Zusammenhang sind. Somit sollen sowohl Mythen als auch die Realität mit empirischen Befunden einander gegenübergestellt, kritisch beleuchtet und hinterfragt werden.

Die OKR Zielsetzungsmethode wurde von Andy Grove als Weiterentwicklung der Methode „Management by Objectives“ von Peter Drucker entwickelt mit dem Ziel ein System zu schaffen, welches Outputs wertschätzt und hervorhebt. Mit der OKR Methode sollen klare, ambitionierte und transparente Ziele formuliert und erreicht werden.
In dieser Bachelorarbeit soll untersucht werden, ob die OKR Zielsetzungsmethode, wenn sie gezielt eingesetzt wird, als Garantie für Unternehmenserfolg gesehen werden kann. Dafür wird zunächst die OKR Methode genauer betrachtet sowie eine Analyse durchgeführt, um die Faktoren herausarbeiten, welche zu Unternehmenserfolg führen. In einer finalen kritischen Betrachtung sollen dann diese beiden Teile zusammengeführt werden um zu einer abschließenden Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage „Verhilft die OKR Methode einem Unternehmen zu größerem Erfolg?“ zu führen.
The objective of this thesis is to determine whether or which of the two types of praise effort-based or ability-based – has more positive psychological effects on humans.
Therefore, various study results on these two types of praise will be summarized and compared. This comparison shows that in the short-term, ability-based praise can have a more positive effect on the performance of a person, but in the long-term, effort-based praise has a much better effect. In order to explain this effect, the following two theoretical approaches are examined in more detail: theory of fixed and growth mindset and the effort-ability-relation. Although theory and study results suggest that effort-based praise is the better option, there are some reasons why using only effort-based praise can be harmful. To overcome these harmful effects, it is important to use praise responsibly and accordingly as well as to be aware of its powerful influence.
Validation of Continuously Learning AI/ML Systems in Medical Devices – A Scenario-based Analysis
(2020)
The signs of global warming are everywhere, ranging from highest record temperatures in cities to mega wildfires in the amazon. Heat is melting ice glaciers, contributing to floods and rising sea levels.
Transportation is one of the largest carbon-emitting sectors and it is difficult to meet the carbon reduction goals without a significant improvement in the change from Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles to Electric Vehicles (EVs). EVs are capable of reducing transport related emissions. However, the problem is that EVs on their own haven’t convinced consumers to make the switch and there is a role for policy makers to play.
This study seeks to provide recommendations to support policy makers to come up with measures that if adopted, could increase EV uptake in Singapore. A survey questionnaire has been conducted to discover and understand the factors which affects EV buying decision in Singapore in addition to literature review from past studies.
The main concerns of Singapore car drivers of EVs are that they are too expensive, lack of availability of public charging stations and long charging duration. An experimental component in the survey found that providing information on EVs could increase willingness to purchase an EV.
Analysis from other countries shows that successful governmental policies includes first and foremost, financial incentives to make the prices of EVs as competitive as similar ICE models. Other soft incentives were also implemented which acts as a complement at a later stage of adoption.
Recommendations for policy makers includes actions under the following: National goals/legislation/infrastructure, sales support and availability and quality of information which Singapore policy makers can consider to move towards a renewable and sustainable future.
Transforming a face-to-face (F2F) medical congress into a virtual experience without losing the added value of the offline event is the challenge many associations and event organizers face in 2020.
Background: The unexpected COVID-19 outbreak has made face-to-face congresses impossible in Q2 of 2020. In order to continue medical education, virtual congresses are organized.
Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to determine the advantages of a virtual congress format and illustrate a way to effectively organize a virtual congress. Moreover, the thesis aims to analyze the performance of the digital experience platform (DXP) created by MCI the Netherlands, taking into consideration different stakeholders’ needs and its future opportunities.
Methods: This bachelor thesis is based on the available literature as well as data from the company MCI the Netherlands and quality interviews were conducted with
10 industry experts.
Results: The digital experience platform can increase registration numbers and share the content with more people worldwide like never before. With the easy accessibility, the DXP offers the possibility to increase audience reach. By offering a long-term learning opportunity the platform enhances the user experience of the delegates. Valuable data insight can be retrieved through the platform and shared with various stakeholders. Evaluating the advantages of virtual congresses, it can be said that virtual congresses will be the future of the event industry, however they will not replace face-to-face congresses but can be seen as an additional learning possibility.
Conclusion: With the digital experience platform MCI the Netherlands was able to successfully transform their internal digital capabilities into a future-proof innovative client solution. MCI is the first company in the European market who offered a virtual experience for more than 10.000 participants and strengthened their position as one of the market leaders.
Sustainable product offerings in food retailing have been increasing in the last years, making their way from specialized stores to mainstream food retail stores. It is the case of Germany in which sustainable food products are found in many retailing channels, even discounters. Many pieces of research have been focusing on the bio- and fair-trade labels effect on consumers' behavior, and increased interest has been put in the effect it has regarding WTP towards food products. These studies tend to conclude in a higher WTP towards sustainable labeled food products. However, the studies focus only on the valuation of the product qualities and leave the retailer format aside, which is the location where the product and the labels are being displayed and evaluated by the customer. This research will focus on assessing if the retailer format influences consumers WTP towards bio and fair-trade labels in the German food retail market. In total, 400 randomly selected participants answered one of four surveys regarding WTP towards food products in different retailer formats. Two retailer formats are considered discounters and supermarkets. This research analyses if the labels are performing adequately throughout all food retailing formats in order to provide valuable information for the future of sustainable consumption and regulation. In the end, we cannot conclude a statistically significant difference through the analysis of variance of the means of the label performance in both retailer formats.

This thesis deals with the determination of decision criteria for the development of a fixed-floating mix for non-financial firms and applies them to the example of Heineken.
Existing literature fails to offer a clear guidance on how to approach the fixed-floating decision. Managerial incentives, leverage, the availability of natural hedges, firm liquidity and the shape of the yield curve are frequently mentioned as factors influencing the fixed-floating mix of non-financial firms. I analyse a theoretical approach to constructing the fixed-floating mix and depict the difficulties that such a model based on historical data has in the current interest rate environment.
Conducting a peer group analysis, I study the trends in interest rate risk management in the brewery and alcoholic beverages industry. A clear tendency of the firms in the sample to maintain a high percentage of debt with fixed interest rates is visible. Furthermore, I analyse the risk-return trade-off and conclude that the importance of the fixed-floating split decision for the individual firm depends mainly on leverage and the firm’s capability to absorb volatility in interest expenses, measured by interest coverage.
Additionally, I determine leverage, the level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve and the comparison to a core peer group as decision criteria Heineken should apply when reconsidering its fixed-floating mix in place. The analysis of these criteria leads to the conclusion that the current interest rate environment, financial metrics of Heineken and the comparison to a core peer group justify having a high percentage of debt with fixed interest rates and can even trigger Heineken to further increase the fixed portion of its debt.
Vision statements are one powerful tool in visionary leadership that have to be communicated regularly in order to create purpose for employees. In the past decades, it was underestimated to achieve a greater understanding for a collective sense of purpose that is equally understood by many employees to increase organizational performance and especially coordination of work. To examine the role of values and mental imagery within vision statements, the concepts are more closely elaborated to develop more certainty in creating the right vision. Additionally, an archival study from the medical sector is portrayed which included vision statements and other performance relevant data of 151 hospitals in the US. The researchers found evidence for a strong interaction and imagery effect when four or fewer values were used within vision statements. The interaction resulted in a higher performance and work coordination of the organization and therefore functions as evidence for a shared sense of purpose. Besides, many leaders rather provide conceptual visions and communicate several values that distort the effect of vision imagery and decrease a collective sense of purpose.
The goal of this bachelor thesis is to investigate the role of self-disclosure in a Thai-German team. In-depth interviews with Thai employees and former German interns of a German automotive supplier based in Bangkok were conducted. To link the phenomenon of self-disclosure with intercultural management, German and Thai culture standards represent the base to discuss tendencies in the behavior of Germans and Thais.
The results demonstrate that general topics predominated over private subjects at the early stage of the relationship between the interviewees and their team members. Throughout the relationship, topical depth and breadth increased although the share
of positive topics outweighed. Both the Thais and Germans displayed a great willingness to share general and personal aspects which has led to the deepening of the relationship and the building of trust. The in-group/out-group effect was recognized as the interviewees preferred an in-group recipient for specific issues to be talked about.
Communicating in English did not significantly impact the amount of information revealed. The study emphasizes the role of self-disclosure for initiating, sustaining and enhancing a relationship between Thai and German co-workers.
Over the past few decades, global economic circumstances lead to difficulties when attracting, retaining, and motivating staff. In these dynamic markets, HR departments are struggling with how to navigate among new techniques and generations. However, in recent years neuromarketing has gained popularity among managers due to resourceful insights applicable to various business areas. Drawing on an investigation, this study examines how the implications gained from neuromarketing can be used to conduct an employer branding strategy and if neuromarketing methods can be a useful tool for the HR department. Analyzing distinct advantages of neuroscience by applying techniques that allow examining essential elements of the employer branding, leads to the detection of challenges and limits within the employer branding management and suggest a new perspective. Considering the literature gap, the methodology to assess whether there are implications of neuromarketing on employer branding will be derived from product branding. This study will first investigate the comparability of product and employer branding and then examine the extent to which neuromarketing methods can complement supplant the employer branding strategies. Finally, the results show the moderate relevance of neuromarketing on employer branding.
This thesis aims to explain corporate visions from a psychological perspective to examine its effects for the individual and the organization.
Therefore, the existing literature on the topic of vision and psychological theories has been reviewed. Psychological theories from cognitive, social, and positive psychology, as well as the psychology of emotion, have been applied to the topic of corporate vision.
Derived from complexity theory, visions can function as positive emotional attractors (PEA), which trigger various psychological processes. Visions activate the default mode network and lead to mental simulations, such as the simulation of a best possible self, which contribute to perceived meaning in life and lead to an increase in positive affect. Further, the PEA leads to adapting a promotion focus. Affective forecasting of the future serves as a motivator. Anticipated emotions can lead to the impact bias and emotional contagion, which are important for the communication of the corporate vision. From the perspective of social psychology, Schwartz’s theory of values and social identity theory can explain the effects of corporate visions. Growth-oriented values can trigger a promotion focus in the individual, therefore being motivating.
Social Identity theory further states, that if an organization’s values are similar to those of the individual, the individual can experience organizational identity.
A growing population, climate change, animal welfare and health concerns are issues with increasing relevance. They draw attention to new technologies that focus on more sustainable and healthier solutions. This thesis analyses the market of meat substitutes with the aim of getting a deeper understanding of the market drivers, what contributes to consumer acceptance and a successful market positioning. The focus lies on the factors that make meat substitutes successful alternatives in Germany.
The research includes previous literature, expert interviews and a marketing mix analysis. The secondary literature is used to introduce the topic, to analyse the market drivers and to gain insights into consumer food choice behaviour, whereas the expert interviews focus on market assessment and effective company positioning. The marketing-mix analysis is conducted on the basis of purchased meat substitute products which are compared to regular meat products. The researcher included a place analysis that takes the entire German market into account, as well as a promotional analysis that highlights effective marketing strategies.
Based on the findings of the thesis, it can be concluded that animal welfare, sustainability and health trends are major drivers of meat substitutes. The market is expanding and has great future potential. However, large scale consumer acceptance is highly dependent on the preferred sensory properties such as authentic taste and texture, as well as a product variety that meets German consumer preferences. All in all, the promotion of meat replacement products should focus on a combination of benefits that include both functional and emotional aspects.
The pivotal role of the service industry in the economy is increasing over the last decades, as shown by the significant contribution to the GDP made by travel and tourism. Among the varied range of travel companies, this paper focuses on travel agencies. The objective of the thesis is to find out the key drivers, which lead to the success of European travel agencies and to point out the factors that make them unable to compete and develop sustainably. This paper uses the PESTEL model, Porter’s Five Forces model analysis, flywheel concept and spontaneously conducted interviews with travel and tourism industry experts. A case study approach is adopted. There is also the analysis of the financial statements, business model and strategies of the top 15 world-leading travel agencies to find out the market structures and competitors’ behaviors. From the collected data and examination, three primary factors that lead to the sustainable development of travel agencies and four main factors that decreed the failure were identified. Besides, the research also finds out the answer for the three research questions: technology is the disruptive forces in the travel agency industry, there will be no monopoly in this industry at least in the next medium-term, and the adaptation of a new business model is possible. Finally, the study proposed a sustainable development model for a European travel agency as well as directions for future relevant research.
The study investigated what is the generalist education in nursing, how Keppler-Stiftung Haus Raphael, Senior Citizens’ Centre will start the implementation of this training and how people can be well informed using social media to convince them for a career path in nursing. The study examined if the use of social media will increase the turnout of people for this education. This thesis also researched, if the use of this promotional medium can help change people’s negative impression about old people’s home, especially for its funny smells and that, senior citizens are not well taken care of there as expected. From the starting theoretical background consisting generalist education in nursing and the trends of social media were discussed in details. Based on the theoretical issued examined, the empirical research is established, collecting data from staff of old people’s homes in five provinces in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Correlational analysis was used to test the sample on the two hypotheses. The positive correlation between social media campaign and the turnout for the generalist education in nursing was identified. The alternative hypothesis was supported because there was a significant relationship of independent variables to turnout of youths for generalist education in nursing
Given the increasing diversity in today’s business environment and workforce, having the right skills and abilities to manage intercultural interactions become increasingly important. Universities and business schools try to equip their students with the right capabilities by sending them abroad for a study semester or internship.
Within this thesis, the multidimensional construct of Cultural Intelligence, which is defined as being effective in intercultural interactions will be introduced and how students’ international experiences are influencing it.
Using quantitative data from a self-conducted survey which includes the widely used and validated Cultural Intelligence Scale is going to demonstrate if both a study semester and an internship abroad influence Cultural Intelligence more than just one kind of international student experience. The study also tries to find out if previous international experience and Cultural Distance have a significant impact on Cultural Intelligence.
The results indicate that both kinds of international student experiences are not enhancing Cultural Intelligence more than just one type of student experience abroad. There is also no significant influence to be found from prior international experience and Cultural Distance. Although the survey results are not going to provide significant findings, internal and external factors which are enhancing this intelligence are going to be identified theoretically, as well as the positive effects of Cultural Intelligence on the business environment.
Job contentment, interpersonal relationships at work, quality of life – for a long time, these aspects were not given importance in an organizational context. Companies were considered rational units, and emotional aspects were neglected. Where people are recognized as an increasingly important resource in a company, emotions play a significant role. In the course of this, the interest in emotional intelligence in the workplace emerged. Especially in the field of leadership, emotional intelligence is now being given more and more attention and has proven to be a cause for numerous positive effects. Due to the limited research on this relation, this thesis aims to find out if and how emotional intelligence in leadership influences employee job satisfaction, specifically in a Danish organization. After outlining the foundations of emotional intelligence in leadership, job satisfaction, and Danish business culture, the empirical research focuses on employee interviews and an evaluation of the emotional intelligence of two managers. Specific focus is put on the employees' perception of their job satisfaction and their assessment of the importance of emotionally intelligent leadership. The results show the importance of emotionally intelligent behavior, and recommendations regarding the implementation of emotional intelligence to overcome workplace challenges are given.
In the light of incremental environmental degradation, social awareness and resource depletion along with high and volatile resource prices, food packaging manufacturers in Germany increasingly perceive pressure towards the implementation of circular business models. However, there does not exist any data neither about the current deployment of circular business models nor about the active efforts dedicated by manufacturers in the German food packaging industry while in many cases there is lacking expertise of how to implement circular business models. This thesis is going to close this gap by conducting a systematic observation of 41 food packaging manufacturers’ product portfolio and company policy in order to identify the current state of deployment and active efforts dedicated to the implementation. Moreover, the most applicable measures will be analysed in order to capture the level of circularity in the focal industry, while providing a step-by-step guidance of how to implement circular business models. There was found that the German food packaging industry is characterised by an open-loop approach since manufacturers focus on circular inputs but neglect the reuse and recycling of packaging materials. Besides, there could be identified six highly applicable metrics, which measure a range of different fundamental aspects of the circular economy. Finally, there was found that the process of implementing circular business models can be structured into four phases, whereas a set of key enablers permits food packaging manufacturers to overcome certain barriers and facilitates the implementation of circular business models. The conclusion was drawn that food packaging manufacturers in Germany still show noticeable potential for enhancement in order to increase circularity, especially by launching circular product designs, the reuse of certain types of food packaging and implementing a more holistic approach of circular business models.
The impact of human trust on business performance by the example of non-governmental organizations
(2020)
How important, scalable and influenceable is the factor trust for charities? This thesis deals with this question regarding social media appearances of three NGOs. Furthermore, it aims to capture the general state of trust of millennials in non-governmental organizations.
This work is predicated on extensive literature research, an online survey, a group discussion with millennials and an application of the HuTrust Model by mext consulting.
Findings indicate that the level of trust matters in different areas such as social media engagement rate and the willingness to donate money to an NGO
Global warming threatens our climate. The planet we know today will deteriorate seriously if nothing changes. The massive consumption of textiles makes the fashion industry as the second leading global polluter after the oil industry. The rise in population increases demand and therefore, also production, which in turn leads to harmful environmental impacts. The global consumers have become increasingly concerned and aware of the importance of sustainability. Due to rising awareness of customers regarding the environment, green marketing strategies have become an important topic. Therefore, a huge number of companies are “greening” their marketing mix. Environmental concern and knowledge of consumers are growing but there is still contradicting behavior of consumers regarding environmentally friendly products. The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of green marketing practices and environmental behavior factors on consumer buying behavior taking the fashion industry as an example. This thesis depends on theoretical findings of green marketing and environmental behavior factors in general and on the fashion industry. The practical part consists of a self-conducted survey were the impact of the above-mentioned determinants were examined on the example of eco-friendly fashion. Conclusions that can be drawn from the study were that even though consumers know about the negative impact of the fashion industry and they are concerned about the environment it does not translate into their behavior, since there are other factors which influence consumers decision more heavily when purchasing fashion items.
Introduction: Since the first revolution of robotic-assisted surgery officially happened in 2000, the healthcare service worldwide has transformed into a new era due to its superior technological advancements, particularly in laparoscopic surgery. Da Vinci which is seen as a master-slave system and Kymerax which is categorized as a hand-held device are commonly used in robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Whilst a conventional or open method requires a large incision to perform a surgery, laparoscopy - a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is an advantageous surgical method which reduces an abdominal incision to a minimum, and effectively exploited with robots.
Methods: Based on available articles with the object of robotic surgical surgery, two SWOT analysis for Da Vinci and Kymerax were formulated to understand strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each system in comparison with the traditional laparoscopic surgery. From that, the future outlook is anticipated based on the scientific background.
Results: Alongside technological advantages of Da Vinci mainly known as 6-degree of freedom, dexterity enhancement, stereovision, tremor filtering and especially minimal invasive surgery, it still has disadvantages that are not neglectable such as huge investment and lack of haptic feedback. Although the malfunction rate of Da Vinci is not significantly high, surgeons should be aware of it to fix or alter instruments in time. Kymerax is not as advanced as Da Vinci but it can fill in the gap of the Da Vinci which includes thelarge investment and bulky instruments. The Kymerax is the low-cost hand-held device allowing multiple degrees of freedom. It is an optimal combination between traditional performance and robotic performance allowing surgeons to manipulate in their hands and ensure haptic feedback.
Conclusions: Both Da Vinci and Kymerax systems offer superior benefits for medical service due to the ongoing technological growth. The cost-effectiveness of Da Vinci system is currently a problematic issue when medical institutions consider to install them.

Nowadays, almost every country in the world classifies cannabis as illegal, nevertheless it is still the most consumed illicit substance in the world. Up until 2019, only two countries worldwide have legalized cannabis completely at national level. In more than 25 countries, cannabis has a partial legal and social accepted status.
While medicinal cannabis was legalized in Germany in 2017, recreational cannabis remains illegal in Germany as per today. The very conservative estimated market value for the German illegal cannabis market is approx. 2.3 billion Euros. Assuming that legalization of recreational cannabis will capitalize the entire or even a major part of the black market of cannabis, the German government would benefit from significant additional tax revenue.
From a political point of view, today there is still a vehement controversy about the legalization of cannabis in Germany. However, experts predict legalization of recreational cannabis in several European countries within the next three to ten years.
Under the assumption that cannabis will be legalized in Germany, sustainable business models were defined within the context of this assignment. As part of this exploratory study, two experts of the cannabis industry were interviewed. On the base of a qualitative content analysis as well as extensive research sustainable business models were defined and evaluated. As a result of the study, a comprehensive recommendation of action was developed.

The main objective of this thesis is to establish whether or not a quantitative forecasting method can be utilized by WAFIOS AG for the prediction of future revenues. If so, a data foundation for the forecasting calculations will be defined.
I conducted expert interviews with selected employees in the WAFIOS sales department and performed calculations to analyze the possible methods and indicators that WAFIOS might be able to use in their forecasting process.
The result of this work shows that forecasting the WAFIOS revenue, using a multiple regression analysis and indicators suggested by the sales department of WAFIOS, is not possible. However, during my research and analysis, other potential methods were discovered that might prove useful to WAFIOS and should therefore be examined more closely at a later time.
