Trends and Advances in the Characterization of Gas Sensing Materials Based on Semiconducting Oxides

Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit diskutiert vier digitale Innovationstrends in der Bauindustrie sowie ihre Auswirkungen auf Unternehmen des Wirtschafszweiges. Basierend auf jüngsten Erkenntnissen aus Literatur und Experteninterviews zeigt die theoretische Arbeit, dass digitale Medien zu geringem Maße in der deutschen Baubranche etabliert sind. Jedoch gibt es Ansätze die Industrie zu digitalisieren, die zudem staatliche Unterstützungen finden. Trotz dieser Förderungen ist die Industrie von vielen Normen, Regularien und Verfahren geprägt, die einer verstärkten Nutzung digitaler Dienste entgegenstehen. Aufgrund der geringen Erfahrung im Umgang mit digitalen Medien sind manche Unternehmen der Baubranche noch vorsichtig im Einsatz digitaler Innovationen. Dennoch besteht großes Interesse und permanente Investition in digitale Unterstützungen, da ihr Potenzial erkannt wird. Diese Arbeit ist für Beschäftigte und Studierende der Bauindustrie sowie für Studierende der Wirtschaftswissenschaften interessant.

The changes between Taiwan and China since 1979 have closer both countries in many aspects. This study seeks for evidence proving the impact of cross-strait political events on Taiwan Stock Market. Major events from 1995 to 2017 are identified and examined with event study using market model and both parametric and non-parametric test. By defining 19 events into two groups- Good news and Bad news, the results present significant abnormal returns on event day [0] or after. This suggests that there is significant impact of cross-strait political events on Taiwan Stock Market. Moreover, due to the limited amount of events, this study can only weakly support that Taiwan Stock Market is semi-strong form.
There was an increased in the number of high-skilled Spaniards that decided to leave their home country. The economic situation and the high unemployment rate have complicated the chances to find a well-paid job and responsibilities according to their level of education. Therefore, Spaniards with a tertiary education find new opportunities in foreign countries like Germany with a robust and stable labour market.
This issue is gaining importance and must be deeply analysed. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is, by the use of secondary and primary data, to describe what are the push and pull factors, and what are the consequences of the Spanish brain drain for Germany and Spain. The conclusion, will confirm and give possible recommendations that the Spanish government may apply in the future.

Analyse von Fusionen im Hinblick auf wettbewerbsökonomische und wettbewerbsrechtliche Auswirkungen

The rising number of mergers between companies over the past decades indicates their growing importance on economic behaviour. Nevertheless, their consequences can influence competition and need to be regulated. This work answers to the question on how mergers can impact competition, thus actual and potential competitors, customers, consumers and upstream- or downstream firms. It is investigated how merger control laws and procedures are influenced by economic theories on merger effects. In the end, latest cases are checked for real application of theoretical statements and for authorities’ challenges. To find results, competition laws and control methods of authorities are compared to traditional economic literature and empirical studies on merger effects. A synthetisation of this comparison is made by analysing three up-to-date merger case examples. The results show that the most important impacts result from market power and efficiencies which can influence mainly prices and innovation activities of a market. Depending on specific structural characteristics of each market, methods and outcomes can be different case-by-case. Competition authorities are emphasizing the use of a combination of traditional economic models and flexible analysis methods to decide whether a merger can potentially harm competition and needs to be prohibited. Current cases show the importance of specific market structures and companies’ characteristics on the way decisions are made. Efficiencies and market power effects are weighed up against each other to evaluate mergers. Especially the emergence of new markets represents a challenge for future merger control. The complexity of defining each market’s specific theory of harm is also emphasized. To sum up, merger control nowadays is based mainly on economic approaches and exact merger evaluation methods always depend on specific market conditions.

International terrorist attacks have led to growing concerns of governments, companies and societies and there is barely any other topic which is exploited by the mass media that extensively. Due to security reasons holiday plans are increasingly questioned by private consumers who are scared by the politically motivated violence, which seems to appear everywhere. The following bachelor thesis investigates the impacts of terrorist attacks on the international tourism sector, especially which consequences changing tourist demand has on dependent companies. Furthermore, there is taken a closer look to the crisis management of travel agencies when responding to attacks in certain destinations. Thereby, adjustments of the marketing mix can play an important role for long-term success and competitiveness. Despite the fact that analysing effects of terrorism on economic markets is a well discussed topic, little research is devoted to the implications for the tourism sector and international travel agencies in particular. For this reason, this thesis is based on examining published data and conducted surveys to develop a set of recommendations for travel agencies in case of terrorism in tourist destinations. Nevertheless, further research is recommended to gain a deeper understanding about the effects of security concerns and derived marketing actions on consumer patterns.
Entwicklung von Handlungsempfehlungen für ein nachhaltiges Vielfaltsmanagement bei der Hansgrohe SE
(2018)
Im Zuge dieser Arbeit wird das Unternehmen Hansgrohe SE hinsichtlich seines gegenwärtigen Umgangs mit Diversity untersucht und mit der ausgearbeiteten Diversity Zielsetzung abgeglichen. In Folge dessen werden bedarfsgerechte Handlungsempfehlungen unterbreitet, um ein nachhaltiges Vielfaltsmanagement bei dem Unternehmen einzuführen.
Durch die Anwendung der Grounded Theory Methodik wurden sowohl primäre als auch sekundäre Daten analysiert und für Hansgrohe den gegenwärtigen Organisationsreifegrad und den im Unternehmen bestehenden Diversity-Ansatz, entsprechend der Theorien von Cox (1991) und Thomas & Ely (1996), bestimmt.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Hansgrohe noch am Anfang des Diversity-Entwicklungsprozesses steht. Aus diesem Grund wurde bei der Ausarbeitung der Handlungsempfehlung zunächst der Fokus auf die Schaffung eines Bewusstseins für Vielfalt und den Abbau von Vorurteilen gelegt. Im weiteren Verlauf soll der Vielfaltsaspekt sowohl in der Unternehmensphilosophie als auch im Führungsleitbild und der strategischen Zielsetzung berücksichtigt werden. Für die nachhaltige Entwicklung des Diversity Managements wird des Weiteren die Einführung eines Arbeitskreises diskutiert, der die Diversity-Maßnahmen bei Hansgrohe langfristig antreiben soll.
