At the very outset, a theoretical environment has been set to describe the women entrepreneurship and microfinance. The socio-economic status of women entrepreneurs has been discussed in the second chapter. The third chapter discusses on how the women entrepreneurship through microfinance activities alleviates poverty and impacts the socio-economic status of women entrepreneurs. The suggestions and the conclusions are elaborated in the last chapter. It is hoped that a research of this nature, oriented would provide an in-depth insight into the socio-economic status of women entrepreneurs and also the problems that are encountered by the microfinance schemes. This research would also be helpful for the Government, the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and the Micro-Financial Institutions (MFIs) in formulating a specific policy for the development of women entrepreneurship through microfinance activities.

Acceleratoren sind ein neues, schnell wachsendes Element in unternehmerischen Ökosystemen und trotz ihrer erst kurzen Geschichte weit verbreitet. Das Wissen über die Auswirkungen von Acceleratoren auf die Entwicklung der teilnehmenden Start-ups ist jedoch nach wie vor begrenzt. Thomas Ulmer hat mit Hilfe eines qualitativen Forschungsdesigns, basierend auf 21 Interviews, die wertsteigernden Mechanismen von Acceleratoren aus Sicht von Gründern untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich erstens, dass Acceleratoren jeden Schritt der Ressourcenmobilisierung erleichtern, indem sie Unsicherheiten reduzieren und Defizite der Gründer und Start-ups kompensieren. Zweitens wird der Gründungsprozess durch Acceleratoren auch besser strukturiert, da die Teilnehmer eine Gründeridentität aufbauen und der Gründungsprozess selbst professionalisiert wird. Schließlich unterstützen Acceleratoren Start-ups beim Aufbau einer Ressourcenbasis, indem sie zum einen Ressourcen unmittelbar bereitstellen und zum anderen Brücken zur Akquise verschiedener Ressourcen schlagen. Neben diesem theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn können auch eine Reihe von Praxisimplikationen abgeleitet werden, die die Arbeit für Gründer, Manager von Acceleratoren und Entscheidungsträger der Politik interessant machen.

Dieses Open-Access-Buch klärt die Frage, ob Marketing einen essenziellen Beitrag leisten kann, um die Herausforderungen der gegenwärtigen Klima- und Vielfachkrise zu bewältigen. Louise I. H. Rieck untersucht das Transformationspotenzial von Marketing mithilfe des innovativen Forschungsinstrumentes der Erkundungsaufstellung. Die Untersuchung identifiziert eine Reihe an irreführenden Annahmen im klassischen Mindset, z. B. bezüglich der Axiome ¿Konsumentensouveränität¿ und ¿Verbrauchermacht¿. Auch der Topos vom ¿grünen Wachstum¿ erweist sich als Sackgasse. In der repräsentierenden Wahrnehmung zeigt sich ein neues, weitsichtiges Marketingdenken, das Erwerbsorientierung und Ressourcenorientierung als Antagonisten begreift, die zueinander in einem kreativ-fruchtbaren Spannungsverhältnis stehen. Als Ergebnis der Untersuchung steht die Idee eines anderen, zukunftsorientierten Marketing, das als Katalysator für transformative Bewegungen und ressourcengerechte Konsuminnovationen wirken kann.Das Merkmal, welches das besondere Potenzial von Marketing für eine ressourcenorientierte Transformation des Konsumsystems ¿ seine USP gegenüber anderen verbraucherpolitischen Akteuren ¿ begründet, überrascht: Es liegt im besonderen Verhältnis von Marketing zur Wahrheit.

The objective of this study is to create a new e-learning artefact for SAP S/4 Hana training purposes. Based on Design Science Research, a new prototype of an e-learning artefact has been developed. The prototype is grounded on didactic and information systems theories, as well as models. The aim of this new prototype is to transfer knowledge of business processes with the new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) SAP S/4 HANA in an effective and efficient way. The study is validated through an experiment with a treatment and a control group. While the treatment group learns with the new e-learning artefact, the control group keeps with the existing conventional training. Results show that the treatment group have significantly less dropouts than the control group, and that the treatment group could also finalize the SAP S/4 Hana exercises in less time. This study shows also how companies can benefit significantly using the same approach through a set of guidelines.

The possibilities and limits of digitalization in general and artificial intelligence in particular are demonstrated in a practice-oriented manner. Ways to generate and secure competitive advantages are presented. The topic is examined from the perspective of the company, the function of controlling and the personal position in controlling.

Agilität wird seit einiger Zeit sowohl in der Wissenschaft als auch in der Wirtschaft intensiv diskutiert. Dabei wird Agilität regelmäßig als Organisationsform zur Bewältigung der immer stärker zunehmenden Wettbewerbsintensität gesehen. Die steigende Wettbewerbsintensität lässt sich auf die ausgeprägte Globalisierung, die stark anwachsende Digitalisierung, auf den damit einhergehenden Trend zur kundenindividuellen Bedarfsdeckung sowie die daraus resultierenden Anpassungen der Unternehmensstrukturen zurückführen. In diesem Gesamtzusammenhang betrachtet Christoph Feichtinger die Spannungsfelder der Agilität im Zusammenspiel mit der Unternehmensführung und dem Controlling. Der Autor leitet in diesem Kontext Anforderungen der Agilität ab und erschließt Umsetzungsempfehlungen für den Umgang des Controllings mit der Agilität.

Professional data management is the foundation for the successful digital transformation of traditional companies. Unfortunately, many companies fail to implement data governance because they do not fully understand the complexity of the challenge (organizational structure, employee empowerment, change management, etc.) and therefore do not include all aspects in the planning and implementation of their data governance. This book explains the driving role that a responsive data organization can play in a company's digital transformation. Using proven process models, the book takes readers from the basics, through planning and implementation, to regular operations and measuring the success of data governance. All the important decision points are highlighted, and the advantages and disadvantages are discussed in order to identify digitization potential, implement it in the company, and develop customized data governance.The book will serve as a useful guide for interested newcomers as well as for experienced managers.

TRIZ is a valuable tool for inventive problem solving. Based on patent analysis TRIZ enables the faster solution-oriented generation of ideas in fields of technology, organizations, and software. TRIZ originated from mainly mechanical problems. But it can be applied very successfully as well for other branches like business, or sustainability or in traffic planning. This enlarged application range offers supplementary value of the tool box TRIZ. The 2nd TRIZ online conference by Bayern Innovativ was born from the TRIZ-Anwendertage. The idea behind is providing a platform that allows to discuss and display TRIZ development in the context of innovation methodology. This book presents papers in English & German language on how TRIZ is related to other tools like Design Thinking, the St. Gallen Business models, etc. and to different areas of application, not only electro-mechanical.

This book offers a systematic literature review and a set of empirical studies on supply chain integration. Supply chain management is recognized as an essential means for firms to achieve competitive advantages, in which supply chain integration is regarded as the core for operational excellence: shorter lead time, lower inventory, faster delivery, and higher product and service quality. Using data from an international survey of manufacturing firms, an interrelated set of studies that investigate supply chain integration from different perspectives at multiple levels are conducted. Intra-organizational factors such as products, production systems, and socio-technical systems are examined to understand their effects on supply chain integration, indicating that firms need to implement different types of supply chain integration for specific competitive priorities. Then, the outcomes of supply chain integration, including its impact on risk management and sustainability management, are investigated from an inter-organizational perspective. The firm is embedded in a manufacturing network, a global supply chain, or both, and it can use supply chain integration as a strategic action for risks. Sustainability has been a vital issue for manufacturers, and supply chain integration can enhance its success. This book makes significant contributions to the relevant literature on supply chain integration and offers insights to supply chain managers in manufacturing industries.

En sciences de gestion, plusieurs travaux ont porté sur la thématique de la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) et celle du comportement organisationnel des salariés. Cependant, rares sont celles qui ont concilié ces deux thèmes. Ainsi, cet ouvrage étudie les effets de la perception de la RSE par les salariés sur leur engagement affectif et leur satisfaction au travail. En effet, nous avons porté notre attention sur les processus et les mécanismes intermédiaires à partir desquels la RSE influence les attitudes et comportements des salariés. Comme terrain d¿investigation, nous avons choisi les entreprises du secteur privé de Côte d¿Ivoire. Ce livre qui est le résultat de plusieurs années d¿études et de recherche s¿adresse aux étudiants, aux professionnels ainsi qüaux enseignants désireux d¿approfondir leurs connaissances sur les concepts évoqués. Pour traiter la problématique de notre recherche, nous nous sommes appuyés sur la théorie de l¿échange social pour aboutir à l¿influence positive de la RSE sur l¿engagement affectif de même que le rôle médiateur de la satisfaction dans cette relation.

This book examines intellectual property (IP) as an important value driver for start-ups. Businesses of all sizes are inevitably confronted with intellectual property issues at some point, but start-ups and their collaborators face unique challenges and opportunities in IP management. Identifying, generating, and exploiting intellectual property can lead to sustainable competitive advantages and avoidance of risks. Many start-ups sense the complexity of IP management and therefore place their energy elsewhere. However, the clear conclusion to be drawn from this unique collection of contributions is that putting an IP management strategy in place is critical to the successful development of a business. Prof. Dr. Martin A. Bader and Prof. Dr. Sevim Süzerölu-Melchiors have years of experience as consultants, entrepreneurs, business owners, and researchers where they saw firsthand the need for a comprehensive yet practical resource for start-ups and their key stakeholders.This book explores different perspectives in dealing with IP from six different angles: the start-up¿s view, the investor¿s view, the corporation¿s view, the university¿s view, the global IP office¿s view, and the advisor¿s view. Each section consists of chapters written by leading experts from around the globe including Silicon Valley, Canada, Israel, Switzerland, Germany, Finland, France, Australia, Brazil, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Africa. Contributors bring practical experience from a wide range of sectors, such as information and communication technology, software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, industrial automation, internet of things, life sciences, pharma, crop science, biotech, medtech, mining, sustainability, climate tech, and even quantum technologies. This timely publication serves as a guidebook for entrepreneurs and other key stakeholders in the start-up ecosystem. It empowers founders to develop their own IP management strategyto mitigate risk, create and capture value, and lay the groundwork for sustainable growth. An essential reference for start-ups to achieve business excellence.¿This edited book volume offers valuable insights, bringing together perspectives of key stakeholder groups from a wide variety of innovation ecosystems ¿ an invaluable resource.¿ ¿Carsten Fink, Chief Economist, World Intellectual Property Organization, Geneva¿A timely book for those wanting a clear overview of the issues the different players encounter in the start-up ecosystem.

Cultivating Confidence from the Lord: in Life, through Trials, as Entrepreneurs is written by members of the National Association ofChristian Women Entrepreneurs (https: //nacwe.com).

Economic constraints and lack of knowledge often prevent companies - especially small and medium enterprises - from harmonizing their facilities with the landscape. As a result, factories significantly impact the quality of our living environment, in terms of physical effects on the ecosystem, perceptual interferences with the surroundings, and disturbances on local communities. At both the design and maintenance stages, a set of appropriate tools can assist businesses in becoming more aware of their impacts and identifying possible mitigation strategies. The book presents an assessment tool and a library of inspiring design tactics for factories, with examples of the benefits and synergies for the environment, the scenery, the community, and the company itself. The purpose is to elicit more than a simple reflection about what a sustainable factory entails. It is rather to encourage and assist both businesses and designers in mitigating the impact of industrial facilities on the landscape as holistically as possible.
