Das vorliegende Werk ist eines der Ergebnisse des ERASMUS+ Projektes "Gender Equality in Di-gital Entrepreneurship" (EQUALdigitalent). Das Projekt wurde von vier internationalen Projekt-partner*innen aus Liechtenstein, Österreich und Deutschland von September 2016 bis August 2019 in enger Kooperation durchgeführt: Universität Liechtenstein (Projektleitung), Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin, Katholische Sozialakademie Österreichs sowie die Wirtschafts-universität Wien. Hauptziel des Projekts war es, einen gendersensitiven, interdisziplinären Mas-ter-Studiengang „Gender Equality in Digital Entrepreneurship“ zu entwickeln und dabei be-stimmte Lehrmodule zu testen. Das vorliegende "Master Curriculum" enthält das Studiengangs-profil, den Begründungskontext, die Zielgruppe, die komplette Programmstruktur, die Formalen Aspekte sowie den detaillierten Überblick anhand der 12 Modulbeschreibungen. Weitere Ergeb-nisse sind in vielfältigen Publikationen verbreitet worden.

In this paper, we propose a simple and direct test
of income pooling within couples, and provide a typology of who pools resources and who does not. For this purpose,
we performed a five-round experiment with 95 established real-life couples in Germany. In each round, the couples received the same total amount of money, but the relative allocation to the spouses differed while they had to agree on an irreversible private goods consumption pattern. Our first finding is that the consumption choices depend on the spouses’ relative resources for the majority of the sample. Though this suggests a rejection of income pooling at the mean, an unneglectable share of the couples do indeed pool their resources. Our second finding is that the pooling behaviour is negatively related with the heterogeneity of the spouses’ socio-economic characteristics. In particular, traditional couples with
distinct work division between the spouses are sign
ificantly less likely to treat their individual resources symmetrically. Our third finding is that conventional variables
used to approximate income pooling are only loosely related to the behaviour observed in our experiment.
Gender in der Verwaltungswissenschaft konkret: Gleichstellungsorientierte Gesetzesfolgenabschätzung
(2013)
Immer noch wird die Mehrheit der Gesetze ohne die Berücksichtigung
von Gleichstellungsaspekten verabschiedet. Dies hat oft negative
Auswirkungen auf die bestehenden Geschlechterverhältnisse. Die
Hartz-Reformen sind nur ein Beispiel dafür. Ein Grund dafür ist, dass
im Alltag der Gesetzesformulierung in den Ministerialverwaltungen
Gleichstellungsaspekte kaum eine Rolle spielen, trotz der Implemen-
tierung von Gender Mainstreaming.
Dieser Artikel stellt die gleichstellungsorientierte Gesetzesfolgenab-
schätzung als Verfahren für die Ministerialverwaltung zur systemati-
schen Ermittlung und Bewertung von Gleichstellungsfolgen vor. Dies
stellt eine gleichstellungsorientierte Alternative zu den gegenwärtigen
gleichstellungsblinden Arbeitsroutinen und Abläufen der Gesetzes-
produktion dar, die zu oft Ungleichheiten perpetuieren statt sie abzu-
bauen.
The focus of this thesis is to study the impact, causes and solutions for Nokia’s strategy worn-out in the hypercompetitive smartphone segment. Based on industry experts interviews, internal documentation and market reports and analyses, the reasons for Nokia’s strategic drift are regrouped around two concepts: industry platform and dynamic capabilities. Three potential solutions, benchmarked from different industries, are suggested to avoid drift situations in similar market environments. Finally, the scenario analysis of
Nokia’s current strategic answers to its drift shows the non-sustainability of Windows Phone’s choice as unique smartphone platform. Corrective suggestions include essentially the leverage of Nokia’s services store, the creation of a cross-platform payment and banking solution and the coring towards vehicle and home entertainment industries. Keywords: Strategic drift, hypercompetition, mobile phone market, industry platform.
The goal of this paper is to present the main research interests that have been
so far pointed out in the research on the issues of gender relations, employment
and childcare policies in the post-communist countries. First, I will characterise
the specifics of post-communist countries and briefly touch upon the importance
of socialist or communist legacies that are still making it difficult to introduce
gender equality principles and policies in most of these countries. Second, I will
go from this general perspective to more concrete issues, when I present the
varieties of outcomes in terms of childcare and family policies in Central and
Eastern Europe. Third, I will focus more on the situation in two countries:
Hungary and Poland, as they represent the two very different cases within the
whole group of countries. The paper outlines some basic problems and new
research results in the field of family, work and gender relations in the postcommunist
countries. An important message of this paper is that in spite of
common historical events and economic challenges shared by the postcommunist
countries, we can observe a variety of child care policy mixes within
this group of countries.
The general question raised in this paper is whether the relatively harmonic
image of a Scandinavian welfare model characterised by nearly full employment,
generous welfare benefits and ambitious principles of equality are downsized
when we are dealing with immigrants. In other words, is the Scandinavian
welfare model a stable pioneering model when the ‘immigrant dimension’ is
incorporated?
The paper sheds light on this rather broad question by examining two sets of
empirical questions concerning the output (the incorporation of the ‘immigrant
dimension’ into welfare state policies) and the outcome level (the impact of the
Scandinavian welfares state on immigrants’ integration into the host society),
respectively:
1) Output: Are the ambitious principles concerning solidarity, universalism,
equality and redistribution downscaled when it comes to welfare state policies
substantially targeted at immigrants? 2) Outcome: To what extent have the
Scandinavian welfare states been successful in promoting labour market
inclusion and reducing poverty and gender inequality among immigrants?
The paper argues that the relatively harmonic image of a stable model and
unified group of generous Scandinavian welfare states falls apart at some point
when the ‘immigrant dimension’ is incorporated.
Diese Studie unternimmt eine methodisch-empirische Bestandsaufnahme zur geleisteten
(bezahlten und unbezahlten) Arbeit von Frauen und Männern in Deutschland und ihren
empfangenen Sozialleistungen. Daraus werden Vorschläge für ein Forschungsdesign
„Gender Accounting“ entwickelt, welches die Bilanzierung eines durchschnittlichen Frauen-
und Männerlebens erlaubt. Ziel dieser Bilanzierung ist es, Ansatzpunkte für sozialpolitische
Maßnahmen unter Berücksichtigung von Geschlechterunterschieden zu identifizieren.
