Such applications help users to retrieve and transact information through localized interaction points displayed on their (mobile) devices. Growing adoption of AR technology underlines the importance of incorporating suitable AR components for HBI, which is important for effective implementation and testing of HBI-AR use cases, increasing user satisfaction, and long-term viability. In this context, our short paper presents key experiences and lessons learned from an applied science project targeting the development and evaluation of an HBI-AR university campus app. Drawing on an ex-post inquiry of project collaborator experiences, we prescriptively highlight relevant AR solution requirements for this specific design context. Our findings amplify the importance of (1) balancing trade-offs between different spatial embedding computation methods, (2) modularity, customizability, and testability for efficient software development, and (3) taking building complexity and prototype maturity requirements into account when taking AR solution make-or-buy decisions. Our shared insights may inform future best practices and design principles for convergent HBI and AR projects in research and practice.

Despite extensive work, the superconducting pairing symmetry in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 remains unresolved, with conflicting results even for identical methods. We argue that different superconducting states in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 are in close competition and highly sensitive to the choice of interaction parameters as well as pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure. Our study uses a multiorbital Hubbard model, incorporating all Ni 3⁢𝑑 and O 2⁢𝑝 states. We analyze the superconducting pairing mechanism of La3⁢Ni2⁢O7 within the random phase approximation and find a transition between 𝑑-wave and sign-changing 𝑠-wave pairing states as a function of pressure and interaction parameters, which is driven by spin fluctuations with different wave vectors. These spin fluctuations with incommensurate wave vectors cooperatively stabilize a superconducting order parameter with 𝑑𝑥2−𝑦2 symmetry for realistic model parameters. Simultaneously, their competition may be responsible for the absence of magnetic order in La3⁢Ni2⁢O7, demonstrating that magnetic frustration and superconducting pairing can arise from the same set of incommensurate spin fluctuations.

Unsere Welt ist im Wandel - technologisch, global, ökologisch. Selbst Handlungskonzepte wie das "grüne Wachstum" wirken zunehmend unsicher, vor allem auf einem Planeten mit begrenzten Ressourcen und wachsender Weltbevölkerung. Dieses Lehrbuch lädt dazu ein, neue Perspektiven zu gewinnen: Wie können sich Unternehmen und Standorte zukunftsfähig ausrichten? Und: Was müssen wir aus Sicht der Volkswirtschaftslehre - disziplinär und interdisziplinär - hierfür über komplex adaptive Systeme lernen? Das erforderliche Komplexitätsverständnis wird in drei Teilen Schritt für Schritt entwickelt und mit Blick auf die Nachhaltigkeit anwendungsbezogen veranschaulicht. Teil 1 bietet inspirierende Einblicke in die Vielfalt menschlicher Handlungsweisen, vom rationalen bis zum vielschichtigen Menschen, der sich von Narrativen, Emotionen und kognitiven Verzerrungen beeinflussen lässt. Teil 2 sieht den Menschen als Systemelement bzw. Akteur und beleuchtet systemische Wechselwirkungen bei zunehmendem Komplexitätsgrad. Die Vorstellungen von einem "guten Leben" wandeln sich, von materiellen Lebensstandards und sozialer Gerechtigkeit hin zu Krisenresilienz und transformativer Leistungsfähigkeit. Teil 3 stellt Ideen vor, wie die Governance menschengemachter Systeme mittels Regulierung, Kulturentwicklung und Nudging gelingen kann, wenn wir von der Partizipation in Wissens- und Lernnetzwerken und potenzieller Selbstwirksamkeit ausgehen. Das Buch bietet Impulse für Lehre, Forschung und Praxis. Es eignet sich nicht nur für Studierende und Lehrende der Volkswirtschaftslehre. Es eröffnet auch Lehrenden der Sekundarstufe und Erwachsenenbildung neue Sichten sowie denjenigen, die in Wirtschaft, Verbänden, Politik, Verwaltung oder in zivilgesellschaftlichen Organisationen beratend aktiv sind.

This case study demonstrates how the company leverages stores as strategic innovation hubs that extend far beyond their traditional sales function. The analysis highlights the role of store design, technological integration, and symbolic branding as key drivers of customer experience and brand equity. Flagship stores serve as a testing ground for testing new concepts, while local adaptations strengthen cultural relevance within communities. Findings suggest that in highly digital industries, physical retail remains strategically valuable – not as a relic of the past, but as a platform for differentiation, customer engagement, and innovation. Properly designed, physical stores complement digital channels and reinforce the overall brand experience. Y1 - 2025 VL - 71 IS - 4 PB - Deutsche Werbewissenschaftliche Gesellschaft e.V.

The workshop integrates principles from Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), transformative and experiential learning, participatory design, and critical reflection on the digital age to engage participants in critically examining the environmental, economic, and social impacts of digital technologies in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Structured in five modular phases, from self-reflection and knowledge activation to collaborative prototyping and peer evaluation, the workshop offers a hands-on, gamified learning experience centred on real-world sustainability challenges. Learners create user-centred paper-based prototypes for digital products using tactile materials, persona-driven scenarios and knowledge of sustainable product characteristics gained in the workshop. Outcome measurement is supported through pre- and post-workshop surveys, peer voting templates, and paper-based prototype artefacts, enabling rich insight into behavioural intentions and learning gains. The paper discusses the educational value and sustainability relevance of the workshop engaging young people in critically reflecting on the environmental, economic, and social consequences of digitalization. Finally, it highlights challenges and limitations and proposes directions for future research.

A developer can define goals for each agent, specifying the desired outcomes in various con- texts and implement plans as the means to reach those goals. The BDI reasoning engine can then proceed to automatically select goals to pursue (goal deliberation) and choose one or more of the provided plans to attempt to achieve them. However, usually plans or at least part of the plans have to be provided by the agent’s developer before the system is deployed. In this paper we present an approach for BDI agents to generate their own plans using large language models (LLMs) using solely the available context information such as goal descriptions, available beliefs and their structural information. We show that the approach is viable in principle and explore its reliability as well as discuss further use of LLMs in the context of automating BDI-based agents.

However, existing solutions have weaknesses that allow attackers to bypass E2EE permanently after stealing a clients keys once. In this paper, a concept for an E2EE file-sharing service is proposed which does not have this vulnerability. It is based on Messaging Layer Security (MLS) groups for key distribution, an authentication system based on asymmetric cryptography, Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC) based access rights and a tamper-proof versioned storage system for synchronising sensitive data. The applicability of the concept is demonstrated by a prototype implementation and an evaluation based on benchmarks and a security analysis. Overall, the concept can fulfil the requirements of a basic file sharing service while providing stronger security guarantees than existing solutions.

A First Look at How Learning Preferences May Influence Learning Outcomes T2 - Ubiquity Proceedings N2 - In an era where AI-powered chatbots are increasingly being integrated into education and corporate learning, it is critical to determine whether these approaches benefit all learners or primarily cater to those with specific preferences. This study explores the interplay between learning preferences and learning outcomes in communication training using an AI-powered chatbot. In a field experiment with 17 participants, systematic thinkers and intrinsically motivated learners reported higher satisfaction and greater skill improvement, while those who preferred model learning and direct feedback benefited less. These findings suggest that AI-powered chatbots should be carefully designed to accommodate diverse learners and mitigate potential negative effects.

Ziel ist es, durch flexible Mobilitätsangebote Lücken im ländlichen öffentlichen Personennahverkehr (ÖPNV) zu schließen, insbesondere in dünn besiedelten Räumen und zu Randzeiten des Tages. Die Einführung solcher Dienste gestaltet sich für viele Kommunen jedoch aufgrund der hohen Lizenzgebühren für proprietäre Software als äußerst schwierig, insbesondere in strukturschwachen Regionen, die solche Dienste besonders benötigen. Im Rahmen des Projekts "Open-Source-Software für ländlichen On-Demand-Verkehr" (OSLO) wurde die Umsetzbarkeit einer niedrigschwelligen Open-Source-Lösung geprüft. Diese Lösung soll langfristig in die Open-Source-Mobilitätsplattform bbnavi integriert werden, um die Nutzung vorhandener Mobilitätsdaten zu erleichtern, Interoperabilität zu gewährleisten und die Anpassung an andere Regionen zu vereinfachen. Das Konzept beinhaltet eine Software-Architektur, einen speziell für den ländlichen Nahverkehr entwickelten intermodalen Routing-Algorithmus und ein Betriebs- und Organisationsmodell ([1]). In diesem Beitrag wird beschrieben, wie eine effiziente Software-Architektur für das OSLO-Projekt entworfen wurde.

Social listening tools, enhanced by artificial intelligence (AI), help enterprises to better understand customer needs and trends by synthesizing engagement and interaction data from various channels into actionable insights. However, prevalent tools widely appear too costly, inaccessible and complex to handle for SME managers. In response, we present this article on the design of "aiSnoop", an AI-assisted social listening tool for SME managers. The article describes how the tool was developed, demonstrated and evaluated as a design artifact with an SME-contextualized design science research approach. We find that automation, usability and transparency, and advanced AI integration are important social listening tool capabilities for SMEs, contributing to the broader discussion on AI-assisted decision-support system design from an SME-and practice-oriented research perspective.

Recent studies suggest near roomtemperature ferromagnetism in the pressurized van der Waals crystal CrGeTe3. We perform a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of magnetism and electronic correlations in CrGeTe3, combining broad-frequency reflectivity measurements with density functional theory and dynamical mean-field theory calculations. Our experimental optical conductivity spectra trace the signatures of developing ferromagnetic order and of the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) as a function of temperature and hydrostatic pressure. With increasing pressure, we observe the emergence of a midinfrared feature in the optical conductivity, indicating the development of strong orbital-selective correlations in the high-pressure ferromagnetic phase. We find a distinct relationship between the plasma frequency and Curie temperature of CrGeTe3, which strongly suggests that a double-exchange mechanism is responsible for the observed near room-temperature ferromagnetism. Our results clearly demonstrate the existence of a charge-transfer gap in the metallic phase, ruling out its previously conjectured collapse under pressure.

Applying appropriate design methodologies can enhance the development of desirable AR systems and help to streamline design research projects. This article presents a methodological literature review of 58 pertinent articles, exploring the representation of methodological design frameworks in currently applied AR research practice. In result, User-Centered Design was identified most frequently by a large margin. Though, it could be observed that most articles from the field of applied AR only marginally describe any design processes. Moreover, Human-Centered Design, Participatory Design and Value Sensitive Design were only scantily represented; less than half of the papers followed a Design Science Research or Action Design Research approach. Several implications for applied research and practice are derived from these findings and discussed together with future research opportunities. Overall, this study contributes to the refinement of methodological design practice in the field of applied AR research.

Dennoch erhält man oft den Eindruck, dass im Rahmen von Entscheidungsfindungen in Politik, Gesellschaft, öffentlichen Institutionen aber eben auch Unternehmen zu wenig auf etwaige weitere Neben- und Folgewirkungen von Entscheidungen geblickt wird. Daher wird gefragt, ob die Grundidee des Ansatzes der Technologiefolgenabschätzung hilfreiche Instrumente bietet, welche die Entscheidungsprozesse in den betrieblichen Feldern Innovation, Technologieentwicklung und Management anreichern können.

However, requests for transparency and autonomy in the way IT artefacts are designed, described, used, applied and integrated in the everyday life are getting more pressing within the society. In this research, the process of software engineering is taken as an illustrative model for the proactive incorporation of ethical principles in the system design within the design of a software artefact. Specifically, the phase of requirements elicitation and analysis are expanded with ethical aspects, since that is where the first steps of the software construction as an artefact are initiated and the first common ground of understanding is achieved. Being rooted in the security engineering, the SQUARE process is expanded to provide a basic structure for incorporating of ethical aspects into software design. By doing so, the social and moral values become central to the design and development of new technologies.

However, studies indicate that most of all startups fail, particularly during the early stages of their business journey Prototyping as part of Lean Startup or Business Model Testing approaches, can assist digital early-stage startups in navigating uncertainty and achieving successful product launches. However, these methods are applied very individually and there is little empirical research on best practices. We therefore conducted 65 explorative expert interviews and asked successful startups about their prototyping practices. Our results include learnings on the prototyping process and the testing format, the role of the founding team during prototyping practices, the customer focus and the role of networks. Our study adds important details to theory and practice of the innovation and prototyping processes of digital early-stage startups. Our results offer actionable advice and guidance to any current and potential entrepreneur, but especially to first-time founders and less experienced executives in early stage-startups. Additionally, our contribution enhances the theoretical understanding of the Lean Startup approach and prototyping practices.

A1 - Scheeg, Jochen T1 - Alternative digital platforms: comparative analysis through the lens of Corporate Aikido JF - Information Systems and e-Business Management N2 - Competing with dominant players in the digital platform (DP) economy is an increasingly complex and expensive endeavor for alternative digital platform (ADP) providers trying to disrupt established platform ecosystems. Nevertheless, ADPs position themselves deliberately in the competitive space of large competitors, targeting customer groups whose values and mindsets differ from mainstream DPs. Although there are many examples to find in practice, the variety of ADPs across different DP ecosystems and industries, especially in regards of strategic objectives, directions and characteristics, has not been researched in-depth yet. Based on a systematic, practice-based artifact review, this paper analyses and compares 105 ADPs in the competitive space of dominant DP ecosystem players. The study utilizes the theory of Corporate Aikido as an analytical framework, mapping the strategic elements of overthrowing established value propositions and turning a competitors’ strengths into weaknesses. Our findings indicate that privacy- and security-awareness, empowerment and inclusivity, premium quality and curation, open source and free access, uncensored, transparent and decentralized platforms as well as ecological and climate-friendly offers shape the landscape of alternative approaches in today’s DP economy. The results are subsequently discussed, yielding managerial implications and future opportunities for DP research.

JF - European Journal of Education N2 - The study examines the effectiveness of microlearning in developing the capacity to address climate change and adapt to environmental challenges. Conducted as an online field experiment with 140 participants, the study focused on the impacts of smartphone use as an illustrative learning domain for education in climate change-related areas. Using a pre–post research design and simultaneous equation models, the study found improvements in knowledge retention, with a median increase of 38%. The results indicated that the brief microlearning units also promoted sustainability action competencies, such as confidence in one's influence and willingness to act sustainably. This suggests that higher-order learning processes were also triggered, although to a much lesser extent. Furthermore, learner satisfaction was identified as a mediating variable for these positive outcomes. The study concludes that short bursts of knowledge delivered through microlearning activities can be used alongside traditional training methods to build the critical skills needed for initiatives such as the EU Green Deal.

A survey of Indonesian users T2 - Konferenz: IARIA ICDS 2023, The Seventeenth International Conference on Digital Society; Venice, Italy N2 - Instant Messaging (IM) is an increasingly popular form of communication in which two or more people exchange text-based multi-media messages in real time. However, as a result of aging, users have different needs and requirements towards the design of the communication application. This paper examines the preferences of users of different ages towards the User Interface (UI) design of Mobile Instant Massage (MIM) applications, i.e., instant message applications that can operate on smartphones. An online survey data about users' preferences towards the UI of this application type, limited to Indonesian users, was obtained. The results indicate that for some UI elements, both age groups showed the same preferences, while other requirements were significantly different. This paper aims to give a better understanding of the interface of the MIM application preferred by its users according to their age and thus inform application designers and product owners.

T2 - Konferenz: IARIA ICDS 2023, The Seventeenth International Conference on Digital Society; Venice (Italy) N2 - Low Code Development Platforms (LCDP) often promise an easy and fast way to include data processing and support into the otherwise non-digital process. Nevertheless, it often remains unclear, besides anecdotal evidence, how business users are getting on with transformation of business requirements into the software. This research explores the potential low code development has for business users to address their needs for process support via software tools. The experiment was chosen as the research method to assess the feasibility of software development with LCDP by novices. The results point towards a dedicated LCDP implementation approach if the technology is to be implemented in the business context. Hence, the research provides suggestions on how Business Unit Developers (BUD) can be supported to efficiently deliver productive results and how to assess LCDP-based development process and points towards potential challenges of LCDP implementation.

Bite-sized learning via mobile devices (Mobile Micro-Learning, MML) can be a powerful means to enhance informal work-related learning also in such learning-deprived fields. Based on good practices of recent MML implementations, a lightweight approach is developed. It involves an instructional blueprint and an open-source, low-threshold technology for MML, and meets the specific needs of workers in learning-deprived fields. The main idea is a scan-to-learn system where Quick Response (QR) codes are attached to physical objects in the work environment. Workers can scan the QR codes to learn and are directed to short, interactive learning nuggets. For evaluation, a proof-of-concept is provided.

The study employs a rapid literature review methodology to analyze the utilization of ALT in workplace learning. The findings indicate that the use of ALT is predominantly concentrated in the education, health and medical sectors, with limited implementation in other sectors. Moreover, in smaller organizations, in non-technical sectors and among white-collar workers, there are fewer opportunities for technology-enhanced learning. The study highlights the need for more inclusive and comprehensive research to address the digital divide in workplace learning, taking into consideration practice-based evidence and exploring the themes covered by training. Furthermore, the paper proposes an investigation into the complexity and resource intensity of implementing ALT to enhance technology-based learning in all workplaces. In general, this research establishes the basis for comprehending and bridging the digital learning divide in the workplace.

Given the limited opportunities for informal learning due to solitary work conditions or off-site locations, mobile devices like smartphones and wearables such as smart glasses can play a significant role. The aim of this paper is to investigate the extent to which mobile micro-learning can enhance work-related education, with a focus on lightweight, practical applications in learning-deprived environments. Comparative analyses are presented for mobile micro-learning approaches for smartphones and smart glasses based on recent studies, specifically examining their impact on learning and modes of interaction. Based on good practices of recent MML implementations, we present principles for implementation and offer lightweight proof-of-concept models for both handheld devices and smart glasses.

G. A1 - Scheeg, Jochen T1 - Coping Practices of Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises Facing Power Asymmetry in Digital Platform Business JF - Strategic Change N2 - Digital platform (DP) enterprises have risen to the top of the global economy by inverting traditional business models. They earn money through matchmaking, transaction facilitation, and efficient orchestration of other stakeholders' resources. Small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) play a decisive role in this success story: they offer products and services on many leading DPs and thereby feed platform networks as sellers and suppliers. On the other hand, while DPs enable SMEs to reach new customers and outsource costly managerial tasks, many SMEs struggle with the negative consequences of asymmetric power dynamics and dependency risks in platform business. This paper analyzes 14 cases of SMEs that face power asymmetry as DP value providers, unraveling challenges encountered and coping practices employed in this situation. The findings reveal that power asymmetry between dominant DPs and SMEs creates significant challenges, including exploitative relationships, loss of autonomy, surveillance pressures, and devaluation of SME contributions, while SMEs cope through disintermediation, multi-homing, individual resistance tactics, and striving for more equitable DP models. Moreover, three relationality types are identified: DPs being SMEs' “partners,” “tools,” and “necessary evil.” This article offers a new perspective on boundaries of SME strategies in the DP economy and contributes with empirical insights to the advancing field of entrepreneurial platform research.

This study investigates the integrated Berry curvature and other contributions to the anomalous Hall effect in CrGeTe3 as a function of pressure. The anomalous Hall effect is absent in the insulating phase of CrGeTe3 and evolves with pressure in a domelike fashion as pressure is applied. The dome's edges are characterized by Fermi surface deformations, manifested as mixed electron and hole transport. We corroborate the presence of bipolar transport using ab initio calculations, which also predict a nonmonotonic behavior of the Berry curvature as a function of pressure. Quantitative discrepancies between our calculations and experimental results indicate that additional scattering mechanisms, which are also strongly tuned by pressure, contribute to the anomalous Hall effect in CrGeTe3.

An alternative to traditional public service delivery is the co-creation of public services. Data analytics has been fueled by the availability of immense amounts of data, including textual data, and techniques to analyze data, so it has immense potential to foster data-driven solutions for the public sector. In the paper, we systematically review the existing literature on the application of Text Analytics (TA) techniques on textual data that can support public service co-creation. In this review, we identify the TA techniques, the public services and the co-creation phase they support, as well as envisioned public values for the stakeholder groups. On the basis of the analysis, we develop a Research Framework that helps to structure the TA-enabled co-creation process in PSOs, increases awareness among public sector organizations and stakeholders on the significant potential of TA in creating value, and provides scholars with some avenues for further research.

Thereby, HR practitioners often listen to their guts feeling instead of using more systematic HR practices that are, as research evidence shows, more effective for attracting, motivating and retaining talented staff. This paper elaborates on the question how SMEs may profit from the design and implementation of evidence-based, systematic HRM instruments. The analysis focuses on the antecedents of the so called science-practitioner gap in HRM and why it is even more pronounced in SMEs as compared to larger companies. As a conclusion, we find that SMEs need to design HRM instruments that are systematic and evidence-based in their approach, but can be used by HR practitioners on an intuitive basis without ex ante training or cumbersome formal procedures. However, designing HRM instruments based on a so-called "walk-up-and-use" approach means beating new paths. Given the scarce resources for people management in SMEs, such innovative HRM instruments cannot be developed by a single SME alone. Therefore, the paradigm of open cooperation as it has been successfully applied in open source software (OSS) development is evaluated , in particular whether it can be transferred on the design of HRM instruments that take into account the specific needs of SMEs. First of all, we conceptualize a general framework how HR practitioners from SMEs and HR experts from business and academia can jointly develop Open HRM instruments. Then we discuss the social side of Open HRM, in particular why someone should contribute to Open HRM without receiving immediate profits, how to ensure the quality of openly developed HRM instruments and other gov-ernance issues. As a conclusion, we find that-despite a number of technical and social challenges that have to be overcome-Open HRM has a great potential in order to open up evidence-based HRM for SMEs.

An example of a prototypical application - albeit based on a self-programmed interface - is Nitze's(2024) StudyBuddy, which simulates oral exams. Yet, the extent to which these AI-based exam assistants canautonomously conduct complete exam assessments—creating questions and evaluating and grading responseswithout manual oversight—is still largely unexplored. Despite the clear advantages, issues related to the quality ofthe generated content, the precision of assessments, ethical implications, and acceptance among learners persist assignificant concerns.This paper is a proof-of-concept study combined with a field experiment for an AI-based exam assistant based onthe StudyBuddy suggested by Nitze (2024). The exam assistant provides students with a set of quiz questions andcase studies based on an 80-page reader on topics in organizational behavior, offering personalized feedback andquestion-by-question scoring ranging from 0 to 100%, along with an overall grade and personalized feedback. Toevaluate learning behavior and outcome (in the practice phase), perceived fairness (in the exam phase) and overalllearner acceptance, we run a field experiment with N=35 students enrolled in a business management program at atechnical university in Germany. They take part in a quiz assignment provided and graded by the exam assistant andsubsequently answer a survey with questions based on the Perceived Fairness scale (Sonnleitner & Kovacs, 2020)and the Trust in Automated Systems Test (Wojton et al., 2020). Additionally, the learning outcomes are assessed ina retrospective pre-post design according to Drennan and Hyde (2008). Results will be available by the End of April2024.Insights gained from this study will shed light on the question whether custom chatbots can be effectively used forscalable, efficient assessment processes in higher education. As the ready-made interfaces already available requireminimal prerequisites and technical skills, they present an accessible opportunity for instructors to develop theirown AI-based examination tools, and to ease manual corrections, to guarantee consistent grading and to providestudents with individualized, constructive feedback on their solutions even in large courses where personalizedfeedback would not be possible when manual grading is used.The results of this study will shed light on whether customised chatbots can be effectively used for scalable, efficientassessment processes in higher education.
