Ziel der vorliegenden Bachelorarbeit ist die Erforschung ökonomischer Effekte des Corona Virus auf den Berufsfußball. Dazu wird folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt:
„Welche wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen hat Covid-19 auf den professionellen Fußball in Europa?“
Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten wird eine Literaturrecherche betrieben. Zunächst wird dafür der Profifußball definiert und die Spezifitäten der Branche aufgedeckt. Im Anschluss werden sowohl die finanziellen Daten vor der Krise als auch die aktuellsten Daten herangezogen, um die Auswirkungen analysieren zu können. Abschließend werden mögliche Lösungsalternativen ausfindig gemacht und bewertet.
Die Studie zeigt, dass die Branche durch den Wegfall von wichtigen Spieltageinnahmen sowie einer bereits vor Covid-19 bestehenden finanziellen Belastung wirtschaftliche Probleme aufweist. Insgesamt weisen die Ergebnisse darauf hin, dass der Profifußball sich zukünftig nachhaltiger aufstellen muss, um Krisenzeiten besser zu überstehen.
Today’s business and work environment has become increasingly exposed to the pressure of globalization and the steadily growing degree of virtuality. This is demonstrated by the rising number of global virtual teams (GVT) playing a crucial role in many internationally oriented organizations, with an ongoing upward trend. The purpose of this thesis is to promote a better understanding of how employees can be trained to collaborate successfully in a GVT, and whether this is possible at all. In this context, the paper primarily focuses on the social dimensions influencing successful virtual collaboration. A mixed methods approach of primary and secondary data was used in this thesis. Apart from a literature review providing a theoretical foundation of concepts concerning the key issues of the study, the paper examines two different perspectives. On the one hand, expert interviews with two European training companies and an active seminar participation enabled greater insight into the employee training industry. The objective was to discover the key sources of problems in GVTs leading companies to rely on professional help. A particular focus was laid on examining how trainers master the difficult task of preparing employees for global virtual teamwork as well as to collect information about the provided training services. As the interviews revealed, communication problems among the virtual team members (VTMs) display the main reason for a team’s low performance or failure. Concrete recommendations for actions have been described as a basis for optimizing the collaboration and to strengthen the social ties within a GVT. On the other hand, the main practical part of this thesis focuses on a GVT of a multinational business consultancy. An online survey and individual interviews with the team members have been conducted aiming at answering the following research questions: On the basis of which skills do present members of a GVT define successful virtual collaboration? How is the need for training services in general assessed? In addition, the empirical study examined the social dimensions among the VTMs and the team’s current work situation. On the basis of these insights, the team’s current need for training services has been analyzed and specific recommendations for actions have been proposed.
Abstract
With the writing of this paper, I have the intention to move the legal entity further into the public discourse and test the hypothesis whether the legal entity in its current form is still contemporary. The principle of separability combined with the economic principle is offering much potential to exploit the current economic landscape. Although they are partly constrained by several laws. This cause frictions between governments and corporations. In the following, this paper will show you different ways how companies such as Nestlé, Ikea, or E.ON use the legal entity to follow the economic principle. Furthermore, this paper will show how professional football clubs uses the legal entity to attract investors and in which manner the German Football Association (DFB) use their status as a non-profit organization. The government is trying to restrain companies with laws and restrictions such as a new form of a class action or regulations that prevent nuclear energy operators from outsourcing liabilities to subsidiaries, which arguing against the initial hypothesis. An important part deals with the justification for the existence and criticism of the legal person. Here, the focus is located on statements beside legal professionals such as Christian Jaag who thinks that the current version of the legal person does not fit to the international tax law. He mentioned as a reason for its existence that without the legal person there would not be a taxation in the country it is located as customers, suppliers or employee may locate somewhere else. Experts outside of jurisprudence rarely comment on the legal person. Economists are silent about it and take it for granted, as it is to their advantage.
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
With the increasing environmental awareness and governmental regulations aimed at reduction of CO2 emissions car manufacturers who produce vehicles powered by diesel, or petrol engines, start to develop and produce electric vehicles in order to stay competitive in the market. However, not only conventional car manufacturers who have been successfully operating in the market for many years and do not want to lose their leading position because of this trend but also other companies and start-ups are trying to enter this industry or are already operating in the electric vehicle market. This raise the question whether the business models of the conventional car manufacturers are suitable for achieving success in the electric vehicles market.
This bachelor thesis compares the business models of the BMW Group and Tesla, Inc. in order to identify the differences between the business models of a conventional vehicle manufacturer and an electric vehicle manufacturer. Moreover, it examines the cost structure of both companies and reveals the differences.
Die vorliegende Arbeit ermöglicht eine Erkenntnis über die Herausforderungen, die die chinesischen Unternehmen AliExpress und Shein implizieren und den aktuellen Erfolg auf dem Markt, der durch angewandte Strategien bestehend bleibt. Das Ziel der Arbeit umfasst die Herausforderungen der beiden Unternehmen, die diese ihren Kunden gegenüberstellen und den angewandten Marketing-Strategien, die grundlegend dafür sind, Problematiken als primärer Kunden nicht allzu kritisch aufzufassen. Für die Analyse wurden Problemfelder dargestellt und anhand einer Umfrage diskutiert. Die Analyse bietet einen Überblick über die Herausforderungen, dennoch sind Optimierungsansätze nicht vollständig realisierbar. Die steigende Popularität der beiden Online-Shops ist auf bestehende Strategien zurückzuführen und diese sollen auch weiterhin ausgeführt werden und die Schwierigkeiten überwiegen.
With increasing globalization, the importance of logistics services within companies is also growing. In the automotive industry, logistics is equally important with the aim of achieving optimum logistics performance in terms of vehicle transports. To optimize logistics performance in vehicle logistics, there must be a balance or trade-off between logistics service and logistics costs. Even though vehicle transportation has a significant role in enterprise logistics, there has been little research in this area. This thesis aims to close this research gap by comparing three transport concepts with the actual situation in the test and technology center of Mercedes Benz AG in Immendingen. Four expert interviews were conducted at Mercedes Benz AG, in which the individual concepts were compared with the actual status in terms of logistics performance and evaluated. The extent to which the concepts are applicable to the site in Immendingen was evaluated. In addition, opportunities and risks of the concepts and the current status were identified. It was determined that there is no single correct concept, but that a mixture of concepts is most effective.
Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt einen Überblick über unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen des betrieblichen Suchtmanagements. Die Zielsetzung dabei ist es, die Auswirkung des strukturellen und kulturellen unternehmerischen Kontextes in Bezug auf das Suchtmanagement zu erläutern und die unterschiedlichen Sichtweisen des sensiblen Themas Sucht im Betrieb aufzuzeigen. Dadurch wird dargestellt, dass verschieden ausgerichtete Konzepte für eine erfolgreiche Etablierung gewissen kulturellen und strukturellen Voraussetzungen bedürfen, um von Mitarbeitern akzeptiert zu werden.
Dazu werden Schlussfolgerungen aus den Ausführungen und Erklärungen zum hierarchisch und agil geprägten Kontext für das betriebliche Suchtmanagement gezogen und vorhandene Konzepte der Literatur werden strategisch eingeordnet.
Beispielhaft werden die Erkenntnisse auf das entwickelte Konzept des Unternehmens IMS Gear angewandt und dieses wurde im Hinblick auf deren strategische Ausrichtung beleuchtet und eingeordnet.
The start of the financial crisis in 2007 and the collapse of Lehman Brothers the end of 2008 led to a severe global economic crisis. To counter the negative shocks of the crisis, central banks pushed their conventional monetary policy tools to their limits. As policy rates reached their zero lower bound and no further stimulation of the economy was possible through the standard operating framework, additional measures were needed to improve the overall situation of dislocated financial markets and liquidity shortages. Therefore, central banks in advanced economies implemented unconventional monetary policy measures called quantitative easing (QE). Quantitative easing mainly works through an expansion of a central bank’s balance sheets and is aimed to reach a desired inflation target of 2%. This thesis examines detailed introduction, procedures, risks, and exit strategy of QE. The focus of this thesis is on design and operation of QE conducted by the Bank of Japan, the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank and on their achieved results regarding interest rates and broader economic effects. In addition, evidence for the effectiveness is analyzed with help of an event study. Key findings of this thesis demonstrate that by means of QE, positive development on economic indicators can be recorded but it also has limited impacts. If central banks conduct their stimulus for too long, it creates risks, and, for this reason, an appropriate exit strategy is required to avoid ineffectiveness of the monetary policy. To date, no country has completed their exit and, therefore, the future will illustrate the final consequences of QE.
The market for direct drive technology is said to have great growth potential. In order to increase its presence in this market, two new sensors from SICK Stegmann GmbH are currently in the market launch phase. The aim of this paper is to show the changes and challenges that arise in this market. As a result, new target groups and the resulting change in the distribution channel are proving to be the greatest changes and challenges for the company. Lack of knowledge about the product portfolio of the Motor-Feedback-Systems department on the part of the sales force further intensifies this problem. In this paper, approaches are elaborated on how these challenges can be counteracted and how a successful product launch can be realized. To this end, a training concept will be designed to enable the provision of the necessary product information. Further-more, product purchases of SICK Stegmann GmbH and other locations of the company are analyzed in order to be able to identify a causal relationship. As a result, correlations were identified, which is why cross selling represents another promising approach. Online presence in social media is also becoming increasingly important to companies. Another approach therefore relates to the use of Social Media to attract potential customers. Based on the insights gained in this paper, recommendations are defined, with whose implementation the market potential can be increased.
