The following contribution deals with the environmental conditions of highly gifted and
sensitive people (HGSP). Three researchers from different perspectives (physics, pedagogy,
and innovation management) empathize with the target group and try to understand their
experiences. From three interviews with adults, a first point of view is defined adopting the
Grounded Theory methodology. Adult interviews are compared with the perceptions of an
adolescent from today moving between state and private education systems. By comparing
both perspectives, differences and similarities are worked out. The discussions are used to
develop an online test focusing on creativity, motivation for achievement, and cognitive
capacities, as these are core categories identified that seem to be highly important in
combination. The empirical test is intended to provide the state education system with a simple
and interactive solution to identify a large group of people who need further support. To
achieve a high participation rate, the test will be designed for a maximum of one hour and the
implementation and evaluation will be carried out digitally. The authors' vision is to create an
adaptive environment that can effectively adjust to and educate diverse groups of learners
without over- or under burdening teachers and learners. A key finding of our case-based
research is that the existing school and higher education structures are not able to provide
sufficient support and challenge for HGSP. Support measures for HGSP are needed as well
as a new understanding of learning and teaching, so that new competencies can be built that
consider people's self-regulation, creativity, and motivation for achievement, in addition to
cognition and meta-cognition. Kuhl (2004, 18) explains why the capacities of self-regulation
are paramount for highly gifted students. When they want to meet a challenge, they face
problems that are more difficult and therefore need more persistence, resilience, and selfmotivation. However, to support these special needs, teachers are often not ready or capable
to do so, nor do these needs fit with the performance requirements of the regular curriculum.
Das chinesische Normungssystem unterliegt seit Gründung der Volksrepublik 1949 einem kontinuierlichen Wandel. Mit der wirtschaftlichen Öffnung und wachsender Bedeutung am internationalen Handel wurde jedoch eine umfangreichere Modernisierung des chinesischen Normungssystems unausweichlich. Nachdem erste Versuche der Erneuerung des Normungssystems im Hauruckverfahren wenig Erfolg zeigten, geht China seit 2015 nun im Rahmen seiner Reformpläne für das Normungssystem einem
ganzheitlicheren Ansatz nach. Einem Ansatz, der den Anforderungen und Ansprüchen
einer führenden Wirtschaftsmacht in einem globalen Markt entspricht. Im Vergleich zu anderen führenden Normungsmächten wie Europa oder die USA gilt China als Nachzügler in der internationalen Normung. Das bietet jedoch den Vorteil, dass China aus den Erfahrungen anderer Nationen lernen und selbst ein Normungssystem etablieren kann, welches die besten Aspekte anderer Systeme aufgreift und gleichzeitig Chinas wirtschaftlichem Führungsanspruch gerecht wird.
The massive shift to working from home during the Covid-19 pandemic triggered discussions about its potential impact on the future demand for office space and the risk it poses to the performance of office markets. Against this background, the goal of this paper is to investigate the link between working from home and the evolution of key indicators of office occupier markets across Europe over the past three decades. Based on the data from Eurostat and CBRE, the paper uses panel regression to investigate the temporal as well as cross-sectional relationships between the share of the workforce working from home and office rents and vacancy rates in major cities. The results are interesting in several ways. Firstly, changes in the share of employees working from home did not appear to have any significant impact on the evolution of rents or vacancy rates over time. However, occasional homeworking was significant in explaining cross-sectional differences in office market indicators. Moreover, contrary to the initial expectations, higher share of employees occasionally working from home appeared to be associated with stronger performance of the respective office market. As explanation, the paper proposes a hypothesis that this was due to working from home being only one aspect of broader changes in the office work environment and related socio-economic trends that had a net beneficial effect on office occupier markets. Although the results refer to historical developments and may not be fully applicable to the current context of the pandemic, they highlight the need to consider working from home in a broader perspective of office occupier trends and ways of working.
Normung galt lange als ein rein technisches Thema für ausgewiesene Spezialisten. Neuerdings erhält das Thema zusätzliche Aufmerksamkeit durch Vertreter aus industrie- und geopolitischen Fachkreisen, insbesondere aufgrund des Entwicklungsprojekts zur Seidenstraße. Die Autorinnen skizzieren den Erneuerungsbedarf für die Normungswelt und fordern mehr Innovation, um den wachsenden Herausforderungen in der internationalen Normung entgegen zu treten.
Chaoticity Versus Stochasticity in Financial Markets: Are Daily S&P 500 Return Dynamics Chaotic?
(2022)
In this study, we empirically show the dynamics of daily wavelet-filtered (denoised) S&P 500 returns (2000–2020) to consist of an almost equally divided combination of stochastic and deterministic chaos, rendering the series unpredictable after expiration of the Lyapunov time, resulting in futile forecasting attempts. We achieve a clear distinction of the true nature of the underlying time series dynamics by applying a novel and combinatory chaos analysis framework comparing the wavelet-filtered S&P 500 returns with respective surrogate datasets, Brownian motion returns and a Lorenz system realisation. Furthermore, we are the first to show the strange attractor of especially the daily-frequented S&P 500 return system graphically via Takens´ embedding and by spectral embedding in combination with Laplacian Eigenmaps. Finally, we critically discuss implications and future prospects in terms of financial forecasting.
Enterprise social media has been found to be a curse and a blessing at the same time. ESM has been reported to lead to unproductive ‘games of visibility’ and ‘exhibitionism’, while it has been also found to enable productive outcomes related to knowledge work and product innovation, the latter being the main reason for its wide-spread adoption. We argue that decisions to use ESM as a control instrument are not made in isolation, but as part of a set of complementary choices. We provide arguments and empirical evidence that the use of ESM as a control instrument in organizations complements the use of subjective evaluations of non-task related performance (SPE). We also show that firms that face high ESM employee concerns, have a stronger complementarity between ESM use and SPE. Additional analyses show that ESM use and performance-based pay (PBP) are also complements. Together the results imply that management control system configuration changes with the employment of ESM.
