The crisis between handling the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters has been a significant threat worldwide, especially for developing countries like Indonesia. The activities of the humanitarian aid supply chain when a natural disaster occurs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, have several unmanaged risks. This study specifically identifies risks that occur in the supply chain of humanitarian aid for disaster victims from Humanitarian NGOs in Aceh province. This study uses case-study-based research with mixed methods, where quantitative analysis is used to analyze prioritized risks, and qualitative research is used to create the framework of recovery strategies. The identification of possible risks is made using literature review, several news articles evaluation, and discussions with experts. The results show that there are 35 risk events and 30 risk agents identified in the humanitarian aid supply
chain for disaster victims in Aceh during COVID-19 Pandemic. From the Pareto diagram, there are three risk agents identified with the highest Aggregated Potential Risk (APR) value. They are Natural
Conditions, Health, and Changes in Department policies. The recovery strategies are built in the form of an AURA framework for a long-term perspective's solution. These recovery strategies are expected
to be used not only for COVID-19 threats but also for other long-term disruptions or crises that might
occur in the future.
Digital Voice Assistant is an interesting topic and a growing consumer trend recently. The combination between Digital Voice Assistants and their commercial applications in E-Commerce practices has brought the interest for further research, especially on customers' opinions and their buying behavior towards this trend. Various opinions from earlier studies have supported the benefits of Digital Voice Assistants on the customer buying journey and decision-making process, which show a promising utilization of such AI intervention on the human buying experience. They are believed to resolve several existing missing expectations from the customers in the occurring E-Commerce platforms.
On one side, the empirical study shows a different reflection on the perceived acknowledgment of the customers in this trend. The study research also remarks that the preferences to the changes in current E-Commerce platforms are not direct to the later willingness to use Digital Voice Assistants in E-Commerce. Although the awareness and experience of this topic are new, the knowledge and recommendation from this study will help understand better the customers' mindset and explore the new perspectives in this complex trend. Additionally, this is a study recommendation for case platform HelloMary, but not limited to other E-Commerce platforms which tend to use Digital Voice Assistants as the new on-platform experience for the customer buying experience.
This paper reviews the link between national labour market participation oriented policy changes and EU Country Specific Recommendations of such Central European countries as Germany and Poland in 2019.
The aim of this master thesis is to examine the reason of implementation avoidance of Country Specific Recommendations in the labour market participation policies of selected Central European countries - Germany and Poland. There is a need in triggers to increase the participation of women, minority groups, and older employees in the workforce. Increased representation of women, underrepresented populations, and older workers in the workforce is necessary for triggering.
The Commission is responsible for this coordination, and in this paper, recommendations related to the labor market participation policy will be analyzed along with Country Reports to achieve the goal of identifying variations in the implementation and additional precedence of recommendations related to the labor market participation strategy in Poland and Germany in 2019. Thesis studies the participation of women, older employees, and tax disincentives within low wage earners.
The following master thesis introduces relatively new, yet still important and interesting field of research – the use of social media in terms of social movements, and, more specifically, progressive and regressive ones. The thesis argues the impactful role of the Internet in the development of social progress and elaborates on its contradictory aspects, considering different political and social actors. The basis for my research consists of the theoretical foundations of social movements and media and, namely, media effects theory. Empirical analysis will help to distinguish between characteristics of media use in left- and right-oriented activism and its flexibility. Practical contribution to this analysis is made by exemplifying usage of social media in progressive (Fridays for Future) and regressive (Pegida) movements and highlighting different approaches to choosing the network platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Thesis concludes that the role of social media in modern world is undeniable for social progress, however, there is a remarkable difference in progressive and regressive approach. Meaning that, while the first ones are fighting for the renovation of democracy in a given country or society in general, those on the other extreme are putting an effort in undermining trust in established political institutions and violating public order.
Ever since Mark Zuckerberg announced his metaverse mission at Connect – the annual developer conference of Meta – on October 28, 2021, it has become a hype. If it was up to Zuckerberg, large parts of our social life would soon take place in the metaverse. Analysts foresee an annual revenue potential of several trillion dol- lars.
This thesis presents insights into how fashion brands can successfully leverage the opportunities of the metaverse. The methodological framework is based on a mixed-method approach, consisting of a literature review and an empirical part that includes a netnographic investigation and expert interviews.
The results show that virtual worlds can be used as an extension of the brand expe- rience to enable new interaction possibilities with customers and to reach a partic- ularly young target group. In addition, the NFT technology enables companies to identify and reward their most loyal fans in the digital space and build a relationship with them through a new channel.
This thesis addresses the topic of corporate sustainability strategies and the subsequent impact on financial performance and competitive advantage. A new method to assess the efficacy of corporate sustainability strategies is developed and outlined within. The background of corporate sustainability will be discussed by examining its ties to sustainable development and the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, economic and social), along with a review of the literature on the various theories of corporate sustainability strategies. The relationship between corporate sustainability and corporate financial performance will also be reviewed. Through this, a set of relevant factors will be identified in order to create a novel assessment framework for analyzing corporate sustainability strategies. A case study of Siemens AG will then be conducted to evaluate its corporate sustainability strategy and the resulting impact on Siemens’ competitive advantage. The implication of these findings will then be discussed.
This master thesis analyzed whether the Conceptual Map of Espoused Organizational Values (CMEOV) can be adapted to the German economy and how the contextual factors geographical location, industry affiliation, company size and age affect the espoused organizational value (EOV) landscape. To answer this question, the display and emphasis of espoused organizational values of 290 German companies was first inventoried and embedded into the CMEOV and second compared using descriptive and inferential (frequency hypothesis testing and mean comparison) statistics. The results showed that 94% of value statements of German companies can be depicted by the CMEOV. A suggestion is made that the map could be expanded by adding the value labels “forward-thinking”, “familial”, and “focus” based on findings in the German sample. Results also reveal that the display of EOVs is positively correlated with com-pany size and age as EOVs are less common in younger and smaller organizations. Moreover, intra-national geographical location and industry affiliation have no bearing on the EOV label combination "innovation & technology”. Additionally, firm age influences how much im-portance a company places on CSR-related value labels. This master thesis emphasized the practical implications concerning the topics of paradoxical value systems and impression man-agement. Senior managers need to consider, make sense of, and overcome the paradoxical con-tradiction of balancing (1) the reflection of the company's fundamental values while (2) ful-filling all stakeholder requirements and (3) covering potential economic developments.
The annual demand for Christmas trees in Germany and Denmark is premised upon the seeds of Nordmann firs, which come exclusively from the Racha region in the Great Caucasus ridge of Georgia. It thus forms what is variously called a commodity chain, value chain or production network (as a phenomenon) and that can be accounted for with
different concepts including Global Commodity Chains, Global Value Chains and Global Production Networks. The analysis in the thesis is grounded in the Global production Network (GPN) approach, which in the literature also is associated with possibilities of “strategic coupling” and asks for an analysis of “value capture trajectories”. But can the promise of such as “value capture trajectory” be observed in the case of the Nordmann firGPN for the Racha region, from which the seeds of Christmas trees originate? Master thesis examines the prospects for regional development.
