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} } @incollection{Deckert2018, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Sustainable Logistics: A Framework for Green Logistics and City Logistics}, series = {Building New Bridges Between Business and Society}, booktitle = {Building New Bridges Between Business and Society}, editor = {Lu, Hualiang and Schmidpeter, Ren{\´e} and Capaldi, Nicholas and Zu, Liangrong}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-319-63560-6}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-63561-3_4}, pages = {53 -- 70}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{DeckertGoers2019, author = {Deckert, Carsten and G{\"o}rs, Nadine}, title = {Transport carbon footprint in the german courier, express and parcel industry (CEP industry)}, series = {Sustainability Management Forum | NachhaltigkeitsManagementForum}, volume = {27}, journal = {Sustainability Management Forum | NachhaltigkeitsManagementForum}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s00550-018-0471-1}, pages = {23 -- 30}, year = {2019}, 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} } @article{KretschmarNiemannDeckert2019, author = {Kretschmar, Dominik and Niemann, J{\"o}rg and Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Digitalisierungsindex zur prozessnahen Analyse mittelst{\"a}ndischer Unternehmen}, series = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, volume = {114}, journal = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, number = {4}, publisher = {Hanser}, issn = {0947-0085}, doi = {10.3139/104.112064}, pages = {213 -- 218}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{BossDeckert2017, author = {Boß, Sebastian and Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Einsatz von PPS-L{\"o}sungen in KMUs}, series = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, volume = {112}, journal = {ZWF Zeitschrift f{\"u}r wirtschaftlichen Fabrikbetrieb}, number = {11}, publisher = {Hanser}, doi = {10.3139/104.111790}, pages = {811 -- 815}, year = {2017}, abstract = {Das vorliegende Working Paper beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Planspiels zur Simulation selektiver Lagerhaltungsstrategien im Distributionsnetzwerk.

This paper, instead, uses the dimensions of the GLOBE-study which builds on the findings of Hofstede but is more up-to-date and comprehensive and uses two innovation indexes - the Global Innovation Index (GII) and the Innovation Union Scoreboard (IUS) - to describe national innovativeness.

They find positive correlations of innovativeness (both indexes) to Future Orientation (practice scale), Gender Egalitarianism (value scale), Human Orientation (value scale) and Uncertainty Avoidance (practice scale) as well as negative correlations to In-Group Collectivism (practice scale), Future Orientation (value scale) and Uncertainty Avoidance (value scale). Some of the findings are contrary to existing hypotheses, e.g. only a weak negative correlation of Power Distance to one of the indexes. Furthermore the findings show significant differences between practice scales and value scales, especially concerning Future Orientation and Uncertainty Avoidance which deserve further examination. Overall it can be concluded that culture has an impact on national innovativeness. The different cultural dimensions of the GLOBE-study show a multi-faceted interrelationship between culture and innovation. To come to a concise answer for the question which dimensions affect national innovativeness in which way additional research will be necessary.}, language = {en} } @article{WillersDeckert2015, author = {Willers, Christoph and Deckert, Carsten}, title = {eFood in Deutschland}, series = {Der Betriebswirt}, volume = {56}, journal = {Der Betriebswirt}, number = {11}, publisher = {Duncker \& Humblot}, doi = {10.3790/dbw.56.4.10}, pages = {10 -- 15}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Im Vergleich zu „Pionierbranchen" wie Mode oder Medien steht der Online-Handel mit Lebensmitteln erst am Anfang.

Although online trading in the food sector is still in early stages, it may become a competitive edge - if retailers go about it the right way. On the other hand, due to consumer resistance, there is the risk of serving only a niche market, which cannot be maintained in terms of profitability. Therefore, a stronger focus on communication policies is needed. Engaging in the eFood sector finally has to be seen as an important investment into future markets and their target groups.

This article examines to what extent German tertiary education lives up to this expectation. The analysis of German module descriptions in engineering shows that there are no courses dedicated to creativity and that creativity and its techniques are mentioned only sparsely in the modules of the engineering curriculum. Surveys amongst our students show that they are usually familiar with techniques which are based on generating alternatives such as brainstorming and morphological box, but lack knowledge about techniques based on challenging assumptions such as forced connection. They tend to favour discursive techniques over intuitive ones and techniques which use generation of alternatives as an idea-generating principle. A combination of creativity techniques seems to be most conducive to creative output in our course. Finally, we present some first findings on creative sessions in remote work with the help of virtual whiteboards, which have gained in importance since the pandemic. Methodology - Firstly, we present an document analysis of the modules of Bachelor and Master programs of mechanical engineering at German universities and universities of applied sciences. Secondly, we present results from surveys in our Master course in "Innovation and Technology Management" where we gathered data from students over several years and performed an external evaluation of the output using Consensual Assessment Technique (CAT). These results include which creativity techniques the students know prior to the course and which they prefer as well as which techniques seem to be conducive to engineering creativity. Furthermore we surveyed their experiences with creative sessions as remote work. Conclusion - Overall, the article shows the importance to teach prospective engineers the basics in creativity. Students should have the opportunity to acquire knowledge about and apply different creativity techniques, as different techniques have different strengths and weaknesses and, thus, different areas of fruitful application. They should also have the chance to try out different modes such as in-person sessions and virtual sessions, as some of the future work will most likely shift online. Furthermore, a combination of different creativity techniques makes it more likely that engineers break through their usual systematic-analytic way of thinking and helps them to think outside the box to find creative solutions for the pressing problems of our time.}, subject = {Ingenieurstudium}, language = {en} } @incollection{Deckert2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Sustainable Logistics}, series = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {9783031259838}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-25984-5_131}, pages = {3562 -- 3566}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @incollection{Deckert2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten}, title = {Supply Chain}, series = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, booktitle = {Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management}, publisher = {Springer Nature}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {9783031259838}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-25984-5_132}, pages = {3212 -- 3214}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DeckertMohya2023, author = {Deckert, Carsten and Mohya, Ahmed}, title = {Teaching Sustainable Logistics As A Project-Based Learning Course}, series = {European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 11-14 September 2023, TUDublin, Ireland}, booktitle = {European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI), 11-14 September 2023, TUDublin, Ireland}, publisher = {TU Dublin}, address = {Dublin}, doi = {10.21427/9D3F-KA64}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-51182}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Sustainable logistics combines the task of the 6R of logistics (right product, right place, right time, right condition, right cost) with social and environmental sustainability, especially low emissions and low resource consumption. This means that a problem that is already challenging, namely planning, executing, and controlling logistical processes, gets even more complex and requires aspects of systems thinking to incorporate environmental and social impacts. Classical approaches of teaching, e.g. lectures with presentations and short exercises on closed problems, do not do justice to the complexity and intricacies of the topic sustainability. In such a context, projectbased learning (PBL) where students do group work on open-ended problems with real-world complexity seems to be a more adequate means to teach the subject.

However, in teaching academic writing, lecturers have to deal with the two challenges of decreasing reading competence in young people and increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in reading and writing assignments. In engineering in particular, literacy understood as reading and writing competence is essential - whether for understanding complex tasks, analysing case studies or dealing with technical documents such as the product requirements document. Against this background, it is crucial to develop strategies and discuss modern approaches to specifically promote students' reading and writing skills and thus create an essential basis for successful scientific work and problem-solving.

While classical approaches primarily emphasize technological and economic aspects, cultural and moral influences are increasingly coming into focus in research. In particular, the treatment of out-groups and the intensity of in-group preferences play a crucial role, as expressed in the societal contrast between social cohesion and individual freedom. A central aspect of this debate is the moral dimension, particularly the tension between universalism, relativism, and particularism. This study examines the impact of universalism on a country's innovativeness by situating the concept within cultural theory and analyzing it empirically. The findings provide new insights into the relationship between cultural values and innovation potential with regard to moral capital in a society.}, language = {en} }
