Einer neu aufgestellten IT-Funktion als Teil einer jeden Organisation kommt eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Umsetzung von Veränderungen im Zuge fortschreitender Digitalisierung zu. Die Rolle der IT ist demnach zu stärken und neu zu positionieren. Als problematisch erweist es sich häufig, dass gerade diese Funktion der IT vielfach jedoch als zu technisch und von den übrigen Fachbereichen zu isoliert eingebunden ist, und diese primär für die Abwicklung rein technischer Aufgaben in Infrastruktur und eingesetzter Systeme Verantwortung übernimmt. Die Umsetzung einer sozio-technischen Digitalisierung kann jedoch durch eine vollständig integrierte und als wettbewerbskritisch gestärkte IT-Rolle angegangen werden.Der in diesem Buch erarbeitete Business/IT-Integrationsansatz wird als Weiterführung des etablierten Business/IT-Alignment-Konzepts positioniert, in dem bislang ¿Business¿ und ¿IT¿ als zwei parallel existierende Funktionen angesehen werden, die es gegenseitig auszurichten oder aufeinander abzustimmen gilt. Dieser Ansatz ersetzt das ¿Alignment¿ im Sinne von Abstimmung und gegenseitiger Ausrichtung durch ¿Integration¿ im Sinne von vollständiger Vereinigung und Fusion.

In Data-Warehouse-Systemen (DWS) stehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten zur Verfügung, um Speicherkosten zu senken (wie Nearline-Storage oder Archivierung) oder Datenanalysezeiten zu verringern. Bisher fehlte allerdings ein geeignetes Verfahren, um zu bestimmen, welche Mittel für welche Zwecke und welche Daten eingesetzt werden sollten. Der Bereich der Klassifizierung von DWS-Daten unter der Berücksichtigung von Anwender- und Administratorenwissen, der Leistungsfähigkeit des Systems und auch des Informationslebenszyklus stellt einen offenen und notwendigen Forschungsbereich dar, der mit diesem Buch geschlossen wird. Diese Klassifizierung kann anhand des Lebenszyklus von Daten in Data-Warehouse-Systemen erfolgen. Die Daten durchlaufen verschiedene Phasen von ihrer Erstellung über Nutzung bis hin zur Archivierung und werden darin unterschiedlich häufig verwendet. Nur ein geringer und im Zeitverlauf abnehmender Anteil an Daten eines DWS wird aktiv verwendet. Um eine wirtschaftliche Datenspeicherung zu erreichen, müssen zu jeder Lebenszyklusphase passende Maßnahmen ergriffen werden. Statt einer einheitlichen, phasen-unspezifischen Verwaltung aller DWS-Daten kann so eine lebenszyklusabhängige Speicherung erreicht werden.

This book deals with the electronic procurement of transportation services. It provides an overview of the fundamentals for the procurement of transportation services, including the relevant objectives, involved parties, and processes. A focus is set on Electronic Transportation Marketplaces (ETMs) which offer main functionalities for the procurement of transportation services on the spot and contract market as well as additional functionalities to improve further processes (e.g., time-slot management). Even though such marketplaces are important from an economic and ecological perspective, previous research provides only little knowledge about the status quo of their use, the determinants of marketplace use and the link between this use and business value. To close these research gaps, Philipp Sylla builds a comprehensive conceptual research framework and conducts an empirical analysis based on a web survey of shippers in Germany. The empirical results build the foundation for the development of an evaluation concept that provides practical support for shippers in the assessment of marketplace use and the evaluation of potential business value impacts.

This book explores how the business transformation taking place in Japan is influenced by the digital revolution. The chapters present approaches and examples from sectors commonly understood to be visible arenas of digital transformation¿3D printing and mobility, for instance¿as well as some from not-so-obvious sectors, such as retail, services, and fintech.Business today is facing unprecedented change especially due to the adoption of new, digital technologies, with a noticeable transformation of manufacturing and services. The changes have been brought by advanced robotics, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and digital networks that are growing in size and capability as the number of connected devices explodes. In addition, there are advanced manufacturing and collaborative connected platforms, including machine-to-machine communications. Adoption of digital technology has caused process disruptions in both the manufacturing and services sectors and led to new business models and new products. While examining the preparedness of the Japanese economy to embrace these changes, the book explores the impact of digitally influenced changes on some selected sectors from a Japanese perspective. It paints a big picture in explaining how a previously manufacturing-centric, successful economy adopts change to retain and rebuild success in the global environment. Japan as a whole is embracing, yet also avoiding¿innovating but also restricting¿various forms of digitalization of life and work. The book, with its 12 chapters, is a collaborative effort of individuals contributing diverse points of view as technologists, academics, and managers.

Après des années d'instabilité politique et de crise sanitaire chronique, la Somalie est aujourd'hui une nation pleine d'espoir qui dispose d'un bon point de départ, des élections démocratiques à l'éradication de la polio. Contrairement au vieillissement de la population en Europe et à l'augmentation des familles pratiquant l'automédication en Afrique, le secteur de la santé en Somalie a été gravement endommagé par la crise du personnel de santé, la fuite des cerveaux des professionnels de la santé et l'incompétence des travailleurs de la santé. Les stratégies du gouvernement en matière de recrutement et de fidélisation du personnel de santé constituent un autre défi majeur qu'il convient de mesurer et auquel il faut accorder une grande priorité. Depuis le coup d'État sans effusion de sang de 1969, l'armée était le principal consommateur de dépenses publiques. Aujourd'hui, le système fédéral contemporain du pays est resté en tête des dépenses militaires et de la sécurité. Bien sûr, le mécanisme de défense et le rôle de l'armée sont importants pour la sécurité, mais les situations malsaines font également partie de l'insécurité.

Succeed in life with or without a degree, a book for anyone who wants to succeed in life despite their level of education.In a job market where recruiters are mostly interested in highly qualified profiles, one has the right to wonder if one can succeed in the professional world without a degree. School, which is the royal road to acquire skills through quality training, does not suit everyone. Its knowledge acquisition requirements are not adapted to everyone. Diplomas open the doors to the world of work and the offers mention the criteria that one must have in one's baggage. However, this is not the only way to get there. It seems that getting a degree is not the only way to succeed because many people have not had the chance to go far in their studies. Some had to stop because of lack of means and others because of dropping out of school. There are people with a creative spirit in specific sectors of activity. One can create a company and develop it without being a graduate of prestigious schools because social success is important for everyone.

The book addresses a modern reorientation of Lean, abandoning the classical waste dogma that brings direct efficiency gains and substituting by a way to achieving indirect efficiency in a continuous and sustainable manner. Waste is the output of a process that cannot be of further use, while value is a matter of valuation, a process whose output we conceive to be of further use. Value and waste are not antithetical, they are just not comparable issues. We achieve added value to the modern Lean Enterprise through synergies that bring sustainable economic benefits to the company. Such synergies use the complementarity theory developed by Milgrom and Roberts in 1990 on the principle that we can achieve maximal gains via the joint investment on complement activities and not investing. Complementarity is not something specific to Lean Enterprises; however, Lean Enterprises can benefit the most from such a concept. The reason is that Lean uses the principle of achieving more with less effort. Less effort does not mean the use of fewer resources, but the use of resources in a complementary way in order to achieve more, rather than using them. Complementarity is a feature by design. Complementarity by design will help modern Lean companies have an easier transition in the digital era and the new world of Industry 4.0. In this second edition, we have preserved the method of how to achieve Lean and have enhanced it to show how to move towards modern Lean within Industry 4.0 paradigm. However, if a company has not yet made the Lean step, there is no need to make that step first before yielding the benefits. Technology is the key. Modern Lean Enterprise strengthens out of the old paradigm into the new one of Industry 4.0. Because of evolution, such an enterprise achieves optimal technological complementarity necessary for synergies that sustain increasing profits.

The world of digitalisation is changing the way how people and business companies communicate with each other. Electronic negotiations represent one of the most important forms of business communication and can influence the successes and failures of companies in a significant way, whether in interorganisational or intraorganisational processes. Analysing negotiation interactions to determine pattern-based peculiarities in the communication offers new value-adding information concerning the management of optimised communication processes, even though the machine-based processing of communication data bears a series of challenges. The present book develops a new approach to analyse the automated pattern recognition potential of Machine Learning methods in unstructured negotiation communication. It presents holistic research frameworks for the effective detection of structural patterns and reveals the pattern labelling potential in high-dimensional communication data by analytically implementing a series of Machine Learning methods.

Chennai, la ville indienne qui connaît la croissance la plus rapide, est l'une des cinq villes qui génèrent le plus de déchets municipaux et leur gestion reste un problème local, régional et mondial. L'étude a été réalisée pour comprendre la conscience et l'attitude des résidents de Chennai. Il semble que seules quelques personnes soient conscientes des termes recyclage et compostage, mais les déchets sauvages restent un problème persistant à Chennai. Il y a un manque de centres de recyclage, de campagnes de sensibilisation à long terme, de sources d'information sur les effets secondaires d'une élimination inappropriée des déchets. La jeune génération doit être sensibilisée à la gestion des déchets solides. Encourager et imprimer une conscience de la gestion des déchets solides dès le plus jeune âge apporterait certainement un changement dans un avenir proche. Il est de notre devoir de garantir un environnement vert et propre.

Chennai, la città a più rapida crescita dell'India, è una delle prime cinque città a generare il maggior numero di rifiuti urbani e la loro gestione è ancora un problema affrontato a livello locale, regionale e globale. Lo studio è stato condotto per capire la consapevolezza e l'atteggiamento dei residenti di Chennai. Sembra che solo poche persone siano consapevoli dei termini riciclo e compostaggio, ma il littering è ancora un problema persistente a Chennai. Mancano centri di riciclaggio, campagne di sensibilizzazione a lungo termine e fonti di informazione sugli effetti collaterali dello smaltimento improprio dei rifiuti. Le giovani generazioni in crescita devono essere educate alla gestione dei rifiuti solidi. Incoraggiare e imprimere la consapevolezza della gestione dei rifiuti solidi fin dalla più tenera età porterebbe sicuramente a un cambiamento nel prossimo futuro. Garantire un ambiente verde e pulito è un nostro dovere.
