Während Global Value Chains (GVCs) durch ihre weltweite Ausbreitung der Produktion schnelle Entwicklungschancen für den globalen Süden bedeuten, sorgt der demografische Wandel für alternde Bevölkerungsstrukturen im globalen Norden. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen demografischem Wandel und GVCs und ob eine mögliche Beziehung dieser beiden Themen Chancen für Lateinamerika bereithält, sich in Zukunft noch mehr an GVCs zu beteiligen. Sie bietet einen Überblick über die einzelnen Themen und untersucht potenzielle gemeinsame Faktoren. Einer der wichtigsten Faktoren, die demografischen Wandel und GVCs verbinden, ist dabei das Lohnniveau, welches zur Ausbreitung von GVCs entscheidend ist und zum Beispiel durch Lateinamerikas momentan demografisch große Erwerbsbevölkerung möglicherweise regional sinkt.
Das Humankapital eines Unternehmens steigt mit der Qualifikation und Kompetenz seiner Mitarbeiter. Betriebliche Aus- und Weiterbildungen sind unerlässliche Instrumente der Personalentwicklung, um Wissen, als ökonomische Ressource zu verbreiten. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit der Ermittlung von abteilungsübergreifenden Kompetenzlücken der ebm-papst St. Georgen GmbH & Co. KG. Das asymmetrisch verteilte betriebswirtschaftliche Fachwissen spiegelt sich in den Konfliktaufkommen zwischen dem Finanzbereich und technisch orientierten Führungskräften wider. Im Rahmen einer Bildungsbedarfsanalyse liefert ein Mixed-Method-Ansatz eine qualitative und quantitative Datengrundlage. Die Datenanalyse zeigt, dass Defizite bei der Zusammensetzung der Herstellkosten, Wirtschaftlichkeitsberechnungen und der Aussagekraft von Kennzahlen vorhanden sind. Basierend auf der qualitativen Datenerhebung wurden weitere Defizite in überfachlichen Kompetenzen ermittelt. Nach der Betrachtung der Datenbasis konnten Handlungsempfehlungen erarbeitet werden. Die Querschnittstudie bietet der Personalentwicklung eine Datengrundlage, um Gegenmaßnahmen zur Schließung der Kompetenzlücken, einzuleiten.
The topic of sexism in advertising has attracted the attention of many scholars for more than four decades now. It is 2019, and the topic remains current and open to debate.
This study explores the relationship between sexism in advertising and society’s views on the roles of men and women on the basis of German dwellers. The investigation has been conducted based on significant theories and current examples and reinforced with empirical data collected from a survey. The results showed that most of the participants surveyed thought that men and women were not being accurately pictured in advertising. In addition, those who have cataloged an ad as sexist disagreed with that content reflecting their opinion about the roles that men and women play within society. Moreover, it was observed that factors like age and occupation have an influence on both the recognition of sexism in advertising and the conception on gender roles.
Islamic banking is the new trend emergent within the modern-day banking industry, yet minimal literature is written about it. Most of the literary content today is regarding conventional banking, especially in non-Muslim countries and continents, Europe and U.S. included. Lack of literature is a threat to the operationalization of both modes of banking, due to lack of information and market analysis data. One of the fields where minimal literature coverage exists is market regulation – which is basically information as to how these two types of banking are regulated according to legislative structures. In light of this literature gap, this study emerges to explore the market regulative structure of both Islamic and conventional banks. The methodology to collect primary data is through interviews of selected players in both Islamic and conventional banks, such as bank managers, consultants, and personnel in the IT and finance department. The results of the interviews demonstrate that Islamic banks are faced with shortage of market regulation structures while conventional banks, on the other hand, are overwhelmed with over-regulation. The study provides several feasible solutions for these challenges.
Finanzkrisen sind Störungen im gesunden Ablauf eines Finanzmarktes. Diese können negative Konsequenzen auf alle darin integrierten Akteure, wie auch auf die gesamte Wirtschaft haben. Die davon Betroffenen sind private Haushalte, Unternehmen und sogar Regierungen. Dies dürfte Grund genug sein, dieses Thema zu erarbeiten und, um eine potenzielle Krise zu verstehen, neue Lösungsansätze zu suchen. Da gerade Ökonomen vor der Gefahr der aktuellen Situation warnen, könnte eine derartige Krise in naher Zukunft entstehen. Die Bereiche welche instabil sein können, sind oft bekannt, trotzdem ist es schwierig zu wissen, wann und woher eine potentielle Krise entstehen könnte. Heutzutage sind Teile der Welt wie Europa, die Schwellenländer oder auch die U.S.A. vermehrt in diesem Fokus. Interessanterweise ist letztere der Entstehungsort der letzten großen Finanzkrise. Aufgrund dessen ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit die Situation dieses Marktes zu analysieren. Faktoren wie Konsequenzen für davon Betroffene, Veränderungen der Angebots- und Nachfragemenge von Anleihen und Aktien werden in Ansätzen analysiert. Desweiteren wird über Schulden, Zinssätze und auch Handelsentscheidungen zwischen den U.S.A. und China gesprochen. Hierzu wird vorab ein Finanzmarkt und dessen Ablauf definiert. Verschiedene Faktoren, die zu einer Finanzkrise führen könnten, werden dann erörtert und im Weiteren frühere Finanzkrisen in Bezug zum aktuellen U.S. Finanzmarkt betrachtet. Hierzu gehört eine genauere Analyse der Schuldenhöhe, des Angebots und der Nachfrage von Aktien und Anleihen, der Zinssätze, der BIP/Schulden Ratio und der Inflation.
Das Resultat der Analyse ergibt, dass die momentan finanzielle Situation der U.S.A. instabil ist und ein unvorhergesehenes Ereignis dort eine nächste Krise verursachen könnte. Zur Vermeidung letzterer wird nach eingehender Analyse ein besseres ethisches Verhalten aller Finanzakteure sowie eine strengere Kontrolle des Finanzmarktes vorgeschlagen. Nichtdestotrotz wird eine wahrscheinlich auftretende Krise von Drittländern ausgehen, die sich an einem kritischen Punkt vor der Insolvenz befinden.
The use of social media for marketing purposes has already begun replacing virtually all traditional marketing practices in order to cater to a generation of digital natives and young festival goers – a trend that can be especially observed in the music industry today. For all that, not all marketers of music festivals are fully informed about the necessity of a well-developed and multifaceted social media strategy. The goal of this study was to explore the topic of strategic social media in music festival organizations and to derive a model upon which music festival organizations can establish and form their social media strategy more effectively. For this purpose, a literature review was conducted and a combined social media model for assessing social media strategies of music festival organizations was proposed. Six prevailing themes pertaining to social media strategy that were identified constitute the model: 1. Channel selection and evaluation, 2. Audience analysis, 3. Communication style, 4. Social media content, 5. Social monitoring and risk management, and 6. Roles and responsibilities. In the second part of this study, a qualitative research design employing interviews and a case study was used in order to explore strategic social media use in leading festivals in Serbia, Croatia and North Macedonia. The findings of this study reveal about the impact of specific social media platforms, the use of analytics tools for gathering audience insights, the two-way interactive communication with the fans, the efficiency of content resulting from co-creation, the role and importance of PR in social media, as well as the position of social media in the organization and the staffing approach for social media marketing.
Digital transformation and globalization have become so prominent in today's life, that companies have to innovate in order to stay on the markets continuously. Thousands of new digital solutions are developed and launched daily, making it hard for the big slow corporation to catch up. In order to gain a competitive advantage, many corporates opened up to external sources of innovation such as suppliers, consumers, and startups.
This research focuses on showing how corporates and startups can mutually benefit from collaboration and particularly in the DACH region of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. To highlight the importance of the strategic partnership, the research also includes a short analysis of the main cultural differences between startups and corporates, an economic overview of the region and the characteristics of a collaboration between startups and corporates.
To investigate the topic, qualitative research based on published secondary data has been carried out.
The automotive industry is undergoing substantial structural changes. New forms of powertrains and players are emerging. Manufacturers, due to internal as well as external drivers, are building their cars on platforms. By making use of modular design approaches, they hope to satisfy customer needs best and stay competitive. When designing global platforms, local variations are to be avoided. The presented paper offers an approach to rank components of an electric vehicle according to their likeliness of a local design adaption. To verify the results of the value chain- based analysis, the variant indicator analysis, interviews were carried out. The analysis shows that the battery is most likely subject to design changes. Also, variant drivers in the value chain bear the highest potential for local redesigns.
In this work we will study this field with a very concrete example, which is the large American multinational Amazon. We will talk more particularly about customer centric supply chain, which is still different from supply chain management. While analyzing this special form of supply chain management, we will also look at its potential impact on today's society with the international distribution market. First, we will define the main aspects of the work such as supply chain management, Amazon, e-commerce and customer experience. Then we will analyze the company's customer centric supply chain. Finally, we will study the possible consequences of the company on the international distribution market.
Where new players undermine long-established successful organizations, so-called “incumbents”, the power of disruptive innovations becomes visible. As disruptions affect each industry at a point in time, a phase of transition and restructuring threatens car manufacturers to lose shares of their after-sales business.
This bachelor thesis aims to recommend a strategic direction for OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) and to address the following research questions: (1) how can disruptive innovations be identified, and to which extend is the automotive aftermarket susceptible for such? And (2) how can incumbents, in particular OEMs in the aftermarket, manage disruptions to remain successful in the long-term?
For answering these, a literature analysis was carried out, based on the Theory of Disruptive Innovations and high-quality scientific journals. Moreover, the aftermarket was analyzed primarily based on market studies conducted by consulting firms and its disruptive susceptibility was assessed by applying Klenner et al.’s theoretical framework.
Overall, this thesis identified that a balance between stability and disruptiveness is decisive to survive as an incumbent in the long-term. In order to manage disruptive innovations, scoring and analysis models are recommended for identification, whereby a response may include acquisition or cooperation with a disruptor and its technology. Furthermore, the study has revealed that above all adapting the organization, including mindset, culture and processes to the market, supports the creation of disruptions. The findings of the aftermarket analysis and thereof based assessment showed that its susceptibility for disruptive innovations is medium to high, whereby digital platforms have most potential. Furthermore, the market analysis indicated that car manufacturers should use their own advantages and build up an ecosystem while making use of customer and vehicle data.
