Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit wurde in Kooperation mit der ZF Friedrichshafen AG verfasst, welche am 1. Januar 2021 eine neue unternehmensinterne Division für Elektromobilität gegründet hat. Im Zuge der Umstrukturierung in dem Unternehmen soll die Digitalisierung der internen Kommunikation vorangetrieben werden.
Ziel der Arbeit ist es, im Rahmen der Neugründung der Division zu erarbeiten, wie die bisherige Nutzung digitaler Medien ausgebaut werden kann, wie digitale Medien als Informations- und Kommunikationsmittel bei den verschiedenen Mitarbeitergruppen des Unternehmens wahrgenommen werden und wie die interne Kommunikationsabteilung die Mitarbeiter der neuen Division am besten durch digitale Medien erreichen und beteiligen kann. Für die Analyse wurden interne Dokumente, Experteninterviews sowie eine internationale Mitarbeiterumfrage als Erhebungsinstrument herangezogen.
Anhand der Forschung der Arbeit zu dem Thema der internen Kommunikation mit einem besonderen Fokus auf digitale Medien, kann eine Basis für ein digitales Kommunikationskonzept innerhalb der neuen Division erarbeitet werden. Zusätzlich werden Handlungsempfehlungen bezüglich der Integration der gefundenen Ergebnisse in das bereits bestehende Kommunikationskonzept der internen Kommunikation abgeleitet.
In this bachelor thesis, the basis as well as the methodology of a life cycle assessment are explained. In particular, the focus is on the approach to create a carbon footprint, which can be seen as part of a life cycle assessment. The aim of this thesis is the creation of a product-related carbon footprint for a product of the Marquardt Group in accordance with the DIN EN ISO 14067 standard. For the determination of the product-related carbon footprint, the relevant processes are identified and the necessary data are collected through interviews with individual employees, supplier request and calculation. As a result, a partial product carbon footprint can be calculated. In order to close the gaps identified in this work, it is recommended to improve data availability and to build up the required knowledge within the company. Consequently, Marquardt will then be able to determine a complete product-related carbon footprint in the future.

This paper aims to evaluate the European Green Bond market's current state by analyzing the issuer countries, types, and sectors. Moreover, the impact of regulatory developments in the last two years on the market is analyzed. As a basis for discussion, both literature review and qualitative research in the form of a semi-structured interview were conducted. The interviews were held with four market experts to gain insight into the actual market's reaction to the EU Green Bond Standard and the upcoming EU Taxonomy. In detail, the following questions are answered: What is the current state of the European Green Bond Market? How many bonds are currently issued in Europe and in which countries? Which entities are the most active issuers, and to which sectors do they belong? What are the current developments with regards to regulations? How might upcoming regulations affect the market actors? The European green bond market made up 45% of the global market in 2019, dominated by Germany, France, the Netherlands, Sweden, Spain, and Italy. The market is still in its growth phase, with the amount issued nearly doubling each year. With the introduction of an EU Green Bond Standard, detailed standardization and framework is established. It will help issuers to overcome market barriers such as the risk of greenwashing and helps in identifying eligible projects. However, with the alignment of the EU GBS, an entity has to align with the extensive EU Taxonomy as well, which represents entry barriers to else willing corporations. Whether an activity counts as green or not based on thresholds is defined by the classification of economic activities. The thresholds are heavily discussed in the market as either too high and excluding whole sectors from the market or too low and not ambitious enough. The alignment with the EU GBS and thus with the EU Taxonomy is connected to various efforts. Nonetheless, it offers a great chance for the market by emphasizing the need for climate action. Through this, a strong green market can emerge and hopefully impacts the world positively.

The purpose of this study is to diffuse knowledge about the limited roles women still play in Nigeria, as opposed to the roles they could be playing if they were to be empowered,
especially in terms of local and national security. The research questions examined the different ways in which women in Nigeria are suffering the omnipresence of patriarchal beliefs and the norms they entail, which interviews with a sample of nine Nigerian women have testified for. It further analyzed the possible interdependence between patriarchy and insecurity levels, and how empowering women could help building peace in the region. Three experts on the topic were interviewed, and testified for this correlation between women and security, while also pointing out the need for governmental support in terms of financing and policing this inclusion of women. The paper finally proposes a set of recommendations to the different stakeholders of Nigeria, from the civil society and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to the Government itself, on how to reach empowerment and peacebuilding in a sustainable way. Structured mainly on the social and cultural determinants of women’s roles in Nigeria, the study revealed that such determinants need political and legislative will if they are to improve. There is an urgent need for the Nigerian Government to take responsibility for the insecurity the country is facing and acknowledge how this insecurity is curbing any improvement towards both women empowerment and peacebuilding at the national and regional levels. Some of the recommendations include the promotion of dialogue among stakeholders, the implementation of sport programs to diffuse values of tolerance and empowerment, and the alteration of discourse around women and girls to change the conceptualization of power and therefore the roles they play in the society.
In der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit wurden verschiedene Beschaffungsmodelle für den Breitbandausbau im Landkreis Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis untersucht. Hierbei wurde auf die Anwendung des Private Public Partnership (PPP) eingegangen, welches in einer Wirtschaftlichkeitsuntersuchung bestehend aus Kostenvergleichsrechnung und Nutzerwertanalyse der herkömmlichen Beschaffungsmethode (PSC) gegenübergestellt wurde. Diese Betrachtung ergab, dass PPP eine wirtschaftlichere Alternative sowohl monetär als auch nicht-monetär darstellt.
Außerdem wurden Finanzierungsmodelle ausgearbeitet, mit welchen Bürgerinnen und Bürger einen Beitrag bei der Umsetzung eines solchen Großprojekts leisten können den Haushalt ihrer Gemeinden zu entlasten. In diesem Zuge wurde ermittelt, inwieweit Crowdfunding oder das Netz-Cent-Modell finanzielle Mittel schaffen kann.
Ferner wurde der positive Einfluss einer Passiven-Breitbandinfrastruktur auf die Volkswirtschaft des Schwarzwald-Baar-Kreis untersucht und beurteilt, welchen Nutzen Unternehmen und private Haushalte seit Beginn der Ausbauarbeiten im Jahr 2014 daraus ziehen konnten.
Can the different framing of price promotions decrease consumer value perception and their willingness to pay? Prior research provides evidence of differences in consumer perception of economically equivalent monetary and non-monetary price promotions. In detail, many research works suggest that non-monetary promotions positively affect consumer perception and are therefore preferred over monetary ones that are associated with a drop in quality. Results suggest that this biased consumer behavior is caused by the framing of the promotion, causing difference in cognitive processing and dissimilarities in perception of benefits and product quality. We put this theoretical foundation to the test on the Turkish consumer market of non-durable goods, in order to contrast effects on consumers of the economically equivalent formats ‘50% discount’ as a monetary and ‘buy-one-get-one-free’ as a non-monetary promotion. In particular, the focus was set on analyzing attractiveness perception of the two promotion types and the development of WTP pre- and post-promotion. To achieve this, the non-durable goods rice and antibacterial soap were selected as product stimuli to stage scenarios before, during and after a promotion period. Four sets of questionnaires were shared on social media and distributed to a total of 919 participants via randomization generator. The survey results put forward empirical validation of product-related decrease in value perception as a consequence of both promotion types, namely the ‘promotional effect’. Nevertheless, our data provide no evidence for the ‘framing effect’ in neither attractiveness perception nor post-promotional WTP. This paper aims to bridge the gap on empirical research of key theoretical implications of promotional impact on consumer behavior and to benefit domestic and foreign marketing managers conducting business operations on the Turkish market.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es zu prüfen, inwiefern der Entwurf des deutschen Sorgfaltspflichtengesetzes für den Schutz der Menschenrechte und Umweltstandards wirksam und notwendig ist. Das Forschungsthema wurde anhand der Textilindustrie beleuchtet. Es wurden internationale Standards, Richtlinien und Vereinbarungen näher betrachtet. Des Weiteren wurden die menschenrechtlichen Sorgfaltspflichten und die Inhalte des Entwurfes für ein allgemeines Grundverständnis evaluiert. Die Arbeit analysierte die Lieferkettengesetze im Ausland und alternative Maßnahmen. Durch Experteninterviews mit Unternehmen aus der Textilbranche wurden neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeit zeigten, dass freiwillige Maßnahmen nur eine eingeschränkte Wirksamkeit haben, da nicht alle Unternehmen verpflichtet werden und die Maßnahmen nicht rechtsbindend sind. Jedoch helfen freiwillige Maßnahmen in der Regel dabei, die menschenrechtliche Sorgfaltspflicht und den Entwurf des deutschen Sorgfaltspflichtengesetzes einzuhalten. Grundsätzlich hängt die Wirksamkeit eines Lieferkettengesetzes von der inhaltlichen Ausgestaltung ab. Viele der Auswirkungen des deutschen Sorgfaltspflichtengesetzes sind weitestgehend ungeklärt und werden sich erst nach der Einführung des Gesetzes zeigen. Es wurde festgestellt, dass Lieferkettengesetze mit Sanktionen, wie Geldstrafen und Klagemöglichkeiten meist verstärkt eingehalten werden.

This paper includes a brief summary of the theoretical background on onboarding and links the findings to modern trends. To answer the questions about expectations and needs of young employees survey results of a study conducted with over 400 participants between the ages of 18 and 27 will be evaluated. The results show that onboarding practices are highly expected by young adults and that integration is of very high importance for the age group. According to the survey results, onboarding programs can also help organizations improve their attractiveness as an employer. Furthermore, the open-ended questions of the survey provide detailed information on which specific measures should be included in an onboarding process. With the use of theoretical knowledge, the findings from the survey and results of a survey with department heads of the company, an onboarding process for Bürstner GmbH & Co.KG was developed. The plan includes specific steps from before the first working day, to the first weeks in the company until the end of the probationary period. Measures include a new employee profile, an initial training plan, a learning management system based online course and more. Through a transferability check of the process, it is concluded that many aspects can be transferred to other organizations; subject to adaptions. In the future further studies and employee feedback examining the onboarding measures, will have to be carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed onboarding process and provide more insight into current trends.
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to provide an overview on the development, acceptance and the current status quo in the application of the concept of Lean Administration in Germany. In this context, based on an extensive literary and quantitative research, the Japanese concept of Lean Management, its history, principles, related approaches and the according criticisms will be explained. Of particular importance is hereby the concept of Lean Administration, which is intended to transfer the Lean Principles from the direct business divisions to the indirect business divisions of a company. Through the execution of the literary research, it became apparent that the Lean Principles are already well established and acknowledged in many parts of the world. Particularly, manufacturing companies in Japan and Germany create their production systems in accordance to the Lean Approach. In addition to this, the principles of Lean Management are increasingly applied in indirect business areas, predominantly in Japan. But also in Germany, the awareness of the principle of Lean Administration is increasing, although the implementation of the Lean Principles in administrative areas in German companies still appears to be very restrained.
In order to investigate this circumstance in more detail, a quantitative study was subsequently conducted on the topic of "Lean Administration in Germany: Demographic and cultural factors impacting the success of the implementation of the concept“. Therefore, various factors that could have an influence on the acceptance towards the concept of Lean Administration were examined. Particular weight was given to the analysis of the cohesion between age and the level of professional experience of the respective subjects, and the openness towards the application of the concept of Lean Administration. Contrary to the initial hypothesis that both, a young age and a low level of professional experience would have a positive impact on the acceptance towards Lean Administration, the main finding of the statistical analysis is that there is no identifiable relationship between the three variables.
Nevertheless, even though no statistical evidence could be found for the initial hypothesis, the following significant findings could be identified. Accordingly, it seems that particularly subconscious factors have an influence on the acceptance of the concept of Lean Administration in Germany. Due to the habits of common approaches for processing administrative tasks and the fear of uncertainty about Lean Administration in practice, employees often feel insecure or not sufficiently encouraged to try out a new concept in administration. In this context, this bachelor thesis represents an overview and a guideline - especially for managers, department heads and employees in human resources - on the approaches, which can be used to promote Lean Administration in an adequate environment for increasing the resource efficiency in indirect areas in the long term. Consequently, through a well-structured approach and the usage of visual graphics in an appealing design, this thesis explains, what is required to be considered or could be investigated in the future in order to sustainably establish the concept of Lean Administration in German companies.
Agriculture in Tanzania is not only the biggest employer, but also it is the highest contributor of the GDP. Apart from being an important sector in the country, it is characterized by small scale subsistence farming which is not mainly profitable. In order to transform the agriculture from traditional to commercial, young people, who make 35% of the entire population, are the main driver however they are facing many challenges. Having that in mind, Tanzanian government has enacted several policies whose main aim is to make it easy for young people to engage in agriculture.
In this bachelor thesis, the agricultural policies which have been enacted by the government to attract young people will be discussed and it will be analyzed if they have brought the impacts desired by the government. In order to do that, a survey was conducted in a district called Bukombe in Tanzania and in one agricultural university which is found in Eastern Tanzania.
The results of the above mentioned studies show that majority of youth policies which have been enacted in Tanzania do not involve youth from the beginning of the preparation. Also, there the general studies found that not many young people are aware of the policies which have been enacted to protect them or make their farming activities easier.
The limitation for this study is that the study sample which is used is from only one district and one university so it may be difficult to compare that the results represent the whole country. Also another limitation is that there are still not many studies which have been conducted in Tanzania for this matter so it is difficult to find the up to date resources. This leads to the resources used to be a bit older and in most of the time to depend on only resources from the websites of government institutions.
Die vorliegende Bachelor-Thesis beschäftigt sich mit der Täuschung auf maschinellem Lernen basierender Schadsoftwareerkennung unter realitätsnahen Bedingungen.
Neben der detaillierten Betrachtung des Forschungsgegenstandes werden hierfür, die vom aktuellen Forschungsstand hervorgebrachten Angriffe, hinsichtlich des Effektivitätskriteriums der Über- tragbarkeit auf zum Angriffszeitpunkt unbekannte Modelle, evaluiert und ein speziell für diese Bedingungen konzipierter, iterativer Ensemble-Ansatz zur Generierung von übertragbaren Adversarial Examples vorgestellt.
Die aus den Untersuchungen stammenden Ergebnissen zeigen, dass die Leistung herkömmlicher Verfahren, unter wirklichkeitsnahen Bedingungen oder im Einsatz gegen kommerzielle Produkte, stark abnimmt. Weitere Erkenntnisse der Forschung umfassen den Ausschluss eines linearen Zusammenhanges zwischen verfügbarem Wissen und Evasionserfolg, die Steigerung der Übertragbarkeit durch Zunahme der Ensemblegröße sowie die Einsatzfähigkeit der entwickelten Methodik gegen kommerzielle Antivirus Produkte.
Die Inhalte der vorliegenden Thesis verfolgen dabei einen rein edukatorischen Ansatz, der durch das Aufdecken von sicherheitsrelevanten Schwachstellen als Handlungsimpuls für Betreiber kommerzieller Antivirus-Lösungen dienen und nicht zum Begehen von Straftaten animieren soll.
