What does the end consumers think about our recently launched smartphone and how does this translate to future sales prospects? What are the implications of economic sanctions on our business? Economists and business analysts are facing these questions in their daily work. Sentiment analysis allows answering such questions as it enables corporations to evaluate web content on a large scale. Exploring the possibility of inte-grating global sentiments into the sales forecast is the aim of this research paper. Twitter has been chosen as the sole source for data retrieval due to its unique property of being a social network-, news broadcasting- and advertising-platform. The analysis reveals the opportunities and limits of sentiment analysis and its integration capability. The results show that a causal relationship among the public's opinion and sales development is present. Sanctions are reflected in the voice of the public with immediate effect but have moderate impact on sales in the short-term. In the midterm, such political and economic measures could impact the sentiments and – among other micro-economic factors –translate into decreasing sales. Ultimately, the sentiment analysis is suitable for a con-tinuous monitoring procedure and thus optimizes the comprehensiveness of convention-al forecasting methods.

With over one million people arriving in Germany to seek asylum since 2013, entering the labour market remains a key aspect for a successful integration process. In their attempt to attain employment, the recently arrived refugees face multiple challenges. One aspect that offers great potential to support them in finding suitable jobs and enhance their employability are Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs). This includes measures such as job-counselling, vocational training and direct placement in public or subsidised employment.
This research explores the extent to which ALMPs meet the needs and aspirations of recently arrived refugees with regard to entering the labour market. By means of conducting interviews with members of the target group, this research aims to gain insights into the accessibility, relevance and overall suitability of ALMPs from the perspective of the study participants themselves.
The study shows that the participants ALMPs as relevant in terms of responding to their employment needs and aspirations. However, they perceive the accessible range of activation measures to be limited to a large degree. Certain activation measures were perceived as highly irrelevant, while some were even perceived to be obstructive to their pursuit of employment. Most notably, the participants felt supported by the employees of Public Employment Services (PES) when it comes to receiving short term training. However, when it comes to long-term training, they felt discouraged or even obstructed. This illustrated a perceived conflict between the participants' long-term aspirations, which included a focus on long-term development, and the PES’s emphasis on short-term arrangements and a quick path into employment.
