Virtual team meetings are increasingly supported with advanced technology. This study investigates the extent to which Al-enabled speech technology can be useful for global virtual teams (GVT). A survey was conducted in GVTs in 2020 and 2021, when people's lives were primarily dominated by the pandemic. A transcription software was used to support the collaboration. A total of 530 survey responses were analyzed using a structured approach- qualitative content analysis. The data was structured using the SWOT framework that aimed at comprehensively answering the research question "To what extent is the use of Al-supported speech technology in GVTs useful?". Al-generated transcripts are helping to overcome language and time zone barriers in GVT. Yet, they also cause misunderstandings and impact openness of communication. Further results and implications for GVT are discussed.
The impulse to think about process-induced social networks (in short: process networks) comes from the discipline of “Process Mining” (e.g. van der Aalst et al. 2005). The relevant literature refers to an "organizational view" or "organizational mining" in process mining.
In essence, process mining is about creating a time-logical chain of related tasks from automatically logged user activities on a computer. In this way, real processes can be mapped and analyzed as models. As a "by-product", task-related social networks are created between the process participants through the predecessor/successor relationships in the workflow.
However, it should be noted and criticized that process mining research neglects the potential of social network analysis. The extensive findings of classical network research are not taken up further. An organizational and social scientific deepening of the data-driven preliminary work is missing in this discipline. Process mining, which tends to be mathematical and technical, has not yet developed the ambition to ally itself with empirical organizational and social research.
This working paper tries to counteract this. It presents a first, social science-based approach to theoretically grounding process networks.
Dieser Beitrag untersucht anhand des DAX im Zeitraum Januar 2010 bis Juli 2022, ob Unternehmen mit hohen bzw. niedrigen ESG-Scores einen Performanceunterschied aufweisen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen für kein Portfolio eine signifikante Über- oder Unterperformance. Lediglich die besten ESG-Firmen tendieren in normalen Marktphasen zu einer Unterperformance. Investoren erleiden beim Berücksichtigen von ESG-Scores auf den DAX risikoadjustiert keinen Nachteil und können zugleich ihrem guten Gewissen Genüge tun.
Will ChatGPT revolutionize accounting?
The Benefits of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Accounting
(2023)
It's an experiment! This paper explores how ChatGPT can be used in accounting and reporting to au-tomate routine tasks, increase efficiency, and better understand financial data. The creation of the paper itself was done with the help of ChatGPT, i.e., significant parts of this text were created by the AI and then edited and completed by the author in terms of content and language. On the one hand, this is intended to show the potential of the application in practice and to make it clear that dealing with the tools of AI will be indispensable in the future, but on the other hand, the risks and concerns are also addressed.
Es ist ein Experiment! In diesem Beitrag wird untersucht, wie das KI-gestützte textbasierte Dialogprogramm „ChatGPT“ im Rechnungswesen und Berichtswesen eingesetzt werden kann, um Routineaufgaben zu automatisieren, die Effizienz zu steigern und Finanzdaten besser zu verstehen. Die Erstellung des gesamten Beitrags selbst erfolgte mithilfe von ChatGPT, d.h., nicht nur die von der KI generierten Passagen, die als Screenshots gezeigt werden, sondern wesentliche Teile des vorliegenden Textes, wurden von der KI erstellt und anschließend inhaltlich und sprachlich durch den Autor redigiert und ergänzt. Damit soll einerseits das Potenzial der Anwendung in der Praxis gezeigt und verdeutlicht werden, dass der Umgang mit den Werkzeugen der KI in Zukunft unerlässlich sein wird, andererseits sollen aber auch die Risiken und Bedenken thematisiert werden. Denn nur allzu leicht werden in Zukunft die Grenzen einer Urheberschaft verschwimmen.
This article investigates multimodal elements—images, links, gifs, videos, and galleries—of crowdfunding campaigns on the platform Kickstarter to develop an understanding of characteristics of successful campaigns. The authors scraped 327,586 campaign pages, analyzing the multimodal elements of successful and unsuccessful campaigns. They found that successful campaigns featured more images, links, and gifs and more frequently included a project video than did unsuccessful campaigns. Images, links, and the presence of a project video had a positive impact on success while gifs and project galleries did not. These findings give business communicators practical guidance, develop theoretical aspects of Kickstarter research, and validate previous findings with a larger data set.
Psychological safety, the feeling of being comfortable to express one’s ideas or opinions in teams, is a key determinant of successful global virtual teams. Even though there exists considerable knowledge about its antecedents, it is unknown how team-based (e.g., clarification of deliverables and deadlines) and technology-based (e.g., digital reminder nudges/ DRN) interventions foster psychological safety given cultural variations of team members. Based on a survey involving 148 participants, our data shows that both team-based interventions (TBI) and digital nudges foster psychological safety in global virtual teams. TBI are even more effective for high-context, indirect communicators than for low-context, direct communicators. However, digital nudges were equally effective across cultures for building psychological safety. These findings contribute to the literature on psychological safety as we show that not all antecedents hold equally across cultures and to the literature of digital nudges as we show the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in a team context.
Die nichtfinanzielle Berichterstattung gewinnt zurecht immer mehr an Bedeutung. Unternehmen sollen nicht nur über ihren wirtschaftlichen Erfolg berichten, sondern auch über die Auswirkungen ihrer Aktivitäten auf ihr Umfeld. In der Diskussion kommt der doppelten Wesentlichkeit eine zentrale Bedeutung zu, die eine Erweiterung von der rein unternehmensbezogenen finanziellen Perspektive hin zum Blick auf die nichtfinanziellen unternehmensexternen Effekte vollzieht. Die EUKommission und jüngst auch der IASB mit dem ISSB entwickeln ihre Regeln in diese Richtung weiter. Problematisch an der doppelten Wesentlichkeit ist die Unbestimmtheit des Konzepts sowie die Unklarheit über die Adressaten der Berichte und deren Informationsbedürfnisse. Dadurch entsteht in der Praxis Verwirrung über die Anwendung, was die Vergleichbarkeit und den Nutzen der Berichte einschränkt.
