This book explores digital transformation strategy and digital business strategy together with digital innovation and digital learning, adaptability, and agility to illustrate the importance of information technology in business today.

This edited volume analyzes how the COVID-19 crisis could be transformed into opportunities for those organizations that correctly interpret the change, adapt their strategies accordingly, and increase their chances of success in a post-pandemic scenario. Through this lens, the female role and contribution to recovery are analyzed and discussed in the economic, financial and social context.Even if many aspects set the COVID-19 crisis apart from the latest global financial crises ¿ such as the unusual shutdown of businesses in specific sectors, social distancing regulations, and general uncertainty sparked by the pandemic ¿ the challenges facing all organizations in the current recovery phase can present an opportunity for extraordinary growth and development in Europe. The focus of the contributions gathered here is not on ¿counting¿ the damages and losses but rather on monitoring the recovery and on emerging instruments to support national and global economic recovery, while payingspecial attention to women¿s role in it.

Make sure that your organisation's strategy is characterized by change, and that strategy guides change. Succeed in changing employee behaviour and realising the benefits changes are aimed at.The insights in this book are based on extensive practical experience and scientific research and offer unique knowledge to advance your change and strategy work. In a changing world, all organizations must develop to stay relevant. But changing a business requires a little more than managing it. Many organizations struggle to change sufficiently and quickly enough. And one of the most difficult challenges organizations faces is managing strategic and large-scale change.So, how do we lead strategic change?The short answer is that strategic change is a systematic way of working. No organization can do everything for everyone; no organization can change everything it ought to change. Organisations' limited resources must be used effectively. Strategy and adaptation to a world and to markets in constant motion are therefore two sides of the same coin. This book demonstrates a practical, thought-through, and scientifically validated way of working where changes that are carried out are guided by the organization's strategy, and the management of change ensures desired strategic outcomes.

Manuel Skrzypczak untersucht im Rahmen zweier empirischer Studien, wie sich eine variierende Produktinnovativität auf die Produktevaluation auswirkt. Eine erste Studie geht mittels zweier Experimente der Frage nach, welche Qualitätsinformationen bei der Evaluation kontinuierlicher Innovationen die Qualitätsbeurteilung und Kaufintention dominieren. Eine zweite Studie untersucht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung emotionaler und kognitiver Informationsverarbeitungsprozesse mittels eines deduktiven Textanalyseverfahrens anhand von online Produktrezensionen, wie sich der Qualitätsbeurteilungsprozess zwischen diskontinuierlichen und kontinuierlichen Innovationen unterscheidet. Beide Studien liefern Implikationen für Praktiker und Forscher, indem die relative Wirkung und Verarbeitung von Qualitätsinformationen innerhalb des Produktevaluationsprozesses in Abhängigkeit der Produktinnovativität evaluiert wird.

Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit zwei übergeordneten Fragestellungen: Inwiefern bestehen kooperative Beziehungen zwischen Filmtheaterbetreibern und Filmverleihunternehmen, mit dem Ziel, den gemeinsam bearbeiteten Markt effizient und effektiv zu bearbeiten, um dadurch dem aktuellen negativen Besuchertrend entgegenzuwirken? Unter Erweiterung der aktuellen Erfolgsfaktorenforschung im Kinofilmbereich, in welchen Bereichen bedarf es einer tiefergehenden interorganisationalen Zusammenarbeit und in welchen Bereichen einer arbeitsteiligen und somit autonomen Entscheidungsfindung, um eine friktionslose Marktbearbeitung aller Teilnehmer zu gewährleisten? Der Autor zeigt, dass an dieser Stelle der Wertschöpfungskette, an welcher die Filmtheater und die Filmverleihunternehmen durch die Komplementarität ihrer Ressourcen sowohl untereinander als auch voneinander profitieren würden, keine hinreichenden Kooperationen bestehen, die einer rückläufigen Profitabilität der individuellen Kinoauswertung entgegenwirken. Ein isoliertes Agieren beider Marktteilnehmer dient kurzfristig der individuellen Nutzenmaximierung, langfristig jedoch werden die bestehenden Tendenzen weiter verstärkt und somit der Trend eines schwächer werdenden Marktes beschleunigt. Durch kooperative Wettbewerbsbeziehungen können auf beiden Seiten Erfolgspotenziale aufgedeckt und ausgebaut werden.

This book discusses technology and systems to create valuable ideas from data through the construction of knowledge. The primary concern is to make better decisions about economic and management issues in today¿s information-flooded society. Human creative activity is in the realm of soft technology, with no physical entity to operate. Focusing on the ability of knowledge as judgment power, this definition results: ¿Knowledge technology is soft technology that underpins the human creative activities of converting data and information into knowledge, creating new ideas based on that knowledge and validating those ideas.¿ That definition includes a wide range of soft technologies developed in informatics, management studies, and systems science.The knowledge system creates ideas from data and knowledge through knowledge technologies. Based on the proposition that knowledge emerges by the interaction between explicit and tacit knowledge, another definition is possible: ¿The knowledge system is a system that promotes interaction between codified and personalized knowledge and creates ideas for solving a specific problem.¿ Codified knowledge includes data and information, while personalized knowledge is empirical knowledge or wisdom that is difficult to put into words.Building a knowledge system requires mathematical or intelligent knowledge technology and participatory knowledge technology to create or manage codified knowledge and personalized knowledge. For example, a company builds cross-sectional knowledge systems by gathering human resources from various departments, according to the purpose, as in new product development or sales promotion. Chapter 1 defines knowledge technology and the knowledge system and organizes the challenges in their development, while Chapters 2 through 9 introduce mathematical or intelligent knowledge technologies by researchers at the forefront of knowledge technology development.
