Whereas most Western approaches to innovation emphasize the different stages of the creative process as well as tools to enhance creativity, the Daoist world view allows for the mind to just wander and thus spontaneously discover the solution to a problem in a rather detached state of mind. Creative minds need space for personal development and the permission to wander around without being exposed to control and instant judgement on the results. Training individuals in the tools and techniques of problem solving and creativity as the common approach in innovation management is certainly necessary, but in the end it is the intellectual accomplishment of a creative mind that produces innovation. Managers can allow this to happen when they get the balance of control and non-interference right.}, language = {en} } @techreport{DeckertEversheim2001, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Eversheim, Walter}, title = {Future Strategies for the Tool and Die Industry}, publisher = {Rapid Product Development Association of South Africa (RAPDASA)}, address = {Stellenbosch}, year = {2001}, language = {de} } @techreport{WillersDeckertWeber2015, author = {Willers, Christoph and Deckert, Carsten and Weber, Torsten}, title = {eFood in Deutschland - K{\"a}ufertypen in einem Potenzialmarkt}, publisher = {F{\"o}rdergesellschaft Produktmarketing}, address = {Berlin}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Die Studie des Competence Center Food \& Retail (CCFR) der Cologne Business School (CBS) ermittelt Erfolgsfaktoren, Konsumententypen und Handlungsempfehlungen f{\"u}r den Online-Handel mit Lebensmitteln in Deutschland.

Cultural factors influence entrepreneurship via different mechanisms on the macro-, meso-, and micro-level of a country. Building on existing research, we draw a clear link between national cultural dimensions and entrepreneurship, using a new model that arranges different cultural dimensions in groups based on their particular function: political, social, or individual (PSI-model) and that distinguishes between values and practices where relevant. The PSI-model provides a coherent theoretical framework on which different cultural dimensions and their impact on entrepreneurship can be analysed, allowing for particular attention to be drawn to social practices and social values. This paper contributes to a better understanding of the relationship between culture and entrepreneurship, providing empirical evidence of how specific cultural dimensions influence entrepreneurship. The findings are of relevance from a policy perspective and can be used to generate practical recommendations for national institutions interested in promoting entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activities. The findings are also transferable to other fields related to national cultural dimensions such as level of innovation, investment, budgeting etc.}, language = {en} } @techreport{DeckertKeszlerSchmitzetal.2022, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Keszler, Julia and Schmitz, Helen and Mohya, Ahmed}, title = {Forecasting Game: Teaching Prospective Engineers Quantitative Forecasting Techniques with a Simulation Game}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, organization = {Hochschule D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {2627-8375}, doi = {10.20385/opus4-3905}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-39057}, pages = {43}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In order to determine demand as precisely as possible, many businesses use several forecasting methods. The aim of forecasting is to determine future demand based on data from the past. The use of a specific method is not always easy and depends on a number of factors. To help prospective engineers find the most suitable forecasting method for a specific problem, a forecasting game was developed and then evaluated. The paper describes the design and the evaluation of the forecasting game. In order to provide an overview of existing forecasting methods, the first part of the paper examined the mathematical fundamentals of eight different forecasting methods and outlined the requirements for their application. The second part of the paper describes the creation of a forecasting game in which prospective engineers can learn how to determine the appropriate forecasting method for specific scenarios. In total, five scenarios covering the three different demand patterns (linear/stationary, trend and seasonal) as well as the forecast quality methods were developed and can be played through. For each scenario, the player has to choose the most appropriate forecasting method for a specific problem based on a self-created task description. To make the game as realistic as possible, a fictional company with a background story was designed. The last part was about the evaluation of the forecasting game. For the evaluation, a student survey to gather the opinions of the students was conducted. The results of the student survey show an overall positive evaluation of the simulation game by the students. However, the test also showed that the game takes a certain amount of time. Since only 15 of the approximately 30 students who tested the game participated in the evaluation, the results are not significant.}, language = {en} } @techreport{DeckertNawratScherer2018, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Nawrat, Nicole and Scherer, Anke}, title = {Cultural Product Design Matrix}, series = {CBS Working Paper Series}, volume = {2}, journal = {CBS Working Paper Series}, publisher = {Cologne Business School}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, organization = {Cologne Business School}, issn = {2195-6618}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @techreport{DeckertRehbergRuetten2017, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Rehberg, David and R{\"u}tten, Pia}, title = {Beer Inventory Game: Entwicklung und Realisierung eines Planspiels zur Simulation selektiver Lagerhaltungsstrategien im Distributionsnetzwerk}, series = {CBS Working Paper Series}, volume = {3}, journal = {CBS Working Paper Series}, publisher = {Cologne Business School}, address = {K{\"o}ln}, organization = {Cologne Business School}, doi = {10.13140/RG.2.2.31366.88641}, year = {2017}, language = {en} }
