ER - TY - CHAP A1 - Tamm, Gerrit A1 - Ziekow, Holger T1 - The utility of learning management systems for institutes of higher education N2 - Nowadays efficiency and quality of education is controversially discussed by politicians as well as by scientists. A number of important studies point out the necessity of improvements in the field of education. Using learning management systems might be a chance for institutes of higher education to face the demands of today. In this paper we evaluate the need of learning management systems for higher education organisations. A value chain for organisations of higher education has been developed to categorize and to describe generic task. By conducting an empirical analysis through the academic task carriers (professors, students and administration department) we could identify the need for supporting each task by learning management system. The paper aims to describe a generic evaluation method for learning management systems. A comprehensive description of the evaluation method and results of the empirical analysis are presented in detail.

The conducted analysis of literature research as well as the evaluation of experiences by various experts aims to provide further understanding of the diverse reasons for the outcome of (un)sustainable M&A activities. Research shows that most M&A activities fail in the long run because the classic approach during the three phases (1) pre-merger planning, (2) the merger itself, and (3) the post-merger-integration phase focuses on quantitative issues and insufficiently incorporates HR and cultural topics. HR is integral for every M&A, as well as for the restructuring and change projects that often accompany mergers. Therefore, failing to adequately include employees in the M&A phases is one of the gravest risks while conducting a merger. This article describes in detail the challenges faced when conducting an M&A with regard to HR implementation and presents advise and tools for how to successfully mitigate an M&A failure due to insufficient HR implementation.

Utilization of computer has benefited the employment market on vast scale, depending on the requirements of a particular business, its size and financial capabilities, and the intention to use. Furthermore, unparalleled technologies, such as cloud computing and smart technologies has directly affected demand for modern day labour. Nowadays, the utility model of cloud computing made it more popular and a favourite choice for the institutes to free up their internal resources and also reduce the number of administrative staff needed to maintain it. With certain kinds of offerings, institutes operating at small scales are also benefitting, which was almost impossible only a decade ago. Given that, the successful utilization of cloud computing remains a topic of extra ordinary importance among the scholars, experts, interested groups and several other institutions, and is defined in different ways according to their particular understanding and usage. But cloud is best defined by National institutes of standard and technology.

There has been much re-search into IT planning, but few studies have developed one of the most important phases of IT strategy: IT Implementation. IT implementation can be improved at information and communication technology (ICT) organizations through the use of organization learning models (OLM) and the implementation of ICT tools. This paper has two purposes define an OLM framework that determines the best practices to increase knowledge at individual, group and/organizational levels, and define and implement an ICT tool to facilitate the integration and institutionalization of the OLM. The ICT tool is based on the technology roadmapping technique that allows an organization to manage at an executive level what, when and how the IT strategy is going to be implemented. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on a case study performed at an ICT organization that provides ICT services to financial institutions. The study was carried out in 2014. It analyzed over 24,000 projects, which translated into an equivalent of more than 18 million man-hours. The proposal was assessed at a very large ICT organization. Findings This paper proposes a framework called SPIDER to effectively implement OLMs based on Big Data management principles for monitoring and reporting current status of IT innovation strategies. These kinds of approaches contribute to solve the problems identified in the state-of-the-art regarding the communication and monitoring the implementation status of IT innovation strategies. During this research work, several factors that are essential to implement these kinds of approaches in large banking organizations were identified: effort required to elaborate the monitoring and reporting activities; easiness to understand the reported information; detailed planning of the implementation program; and focus on communication efficiency. Originality/value This paper determined the best practices to manage knowledge generated during the implementation of an IT strategy. Additionally, this paper defined and implemented an ICT tool to properly communicate and monitor the implementation of an IT innovation strategy, based on technological roadmap techniques.

What the Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman once called “fluid modernity” has become the most relevant characteristic of our restless times. It seems as if absolutely nothing is of continuity: neither basic values nor once powerful institutions can withdraw themselves from this engrossing maelstrom of post-modernism. The same applies to physical spaces and knowledge itself, leaving us with a most uneasy feeling caused by the dissolving blur of truth. What we could believe in yesterday is about to fall into the clutches of liquidation. The whole world is subject to a completely uncontrollable and inexorable process of delimitation: Bigger, faster, higher, louder, are far more the prevailing keywords of the early 21st century, leaving us all behind in a constant fear about ourselves...

The mechanisms were demonstrated through which actions contributed to the non-achievement of planned outcomes and to the appearance of unintended, unwanted and unpredicted outcomes. The investigating was carried to establish if there were differences between good and bad change agents and also to investigate a change in an organisation with offices in several locations and analyse what happens when an organisational level change is implemented at each of the sites. By doing so we will be able to make comparisons between several change agents in a similar situation. Comparison change processes in several companies to determine the role played by structure in change management compares to the role played by agency.

Der Restrukturierungsbedarf 2019 hat sich gegenüber 2018 überwiegend als konstant bis leicht steigend ergeben. Potenzielle Restrukturierungstreiber sind vor allem die negative globale Konjunkturentwicklung, die US-Handelspolitik und technologische Entwicklungen wie Digitalisierung. Im Rahmen der Studie wurden darüber hinaus zahlreiche weitere Erkenntnisse gewonnen. So wird z. B. in Sanierungskonzepten dem strategischen Leitbild eine immer größere Bedeutung beigemessen und die Digitalisierung wird aus Sicht der Finanzierer dazu führen, dass viele Unternehmen ihre Geschäftsmodelle grundlegend anpassen müssen.

T2 - Advanced E-Business Research: International Trends & Issues N2 - While many stationary dealers have already adapted to the growing requirements of customers with respect to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), many e-business companies have not yet made this pioneering position shift. However, a sustainable harmonization of e-commerce platforms to the needs of green customers1 is an indispensability to survive for many online merchants in the competitive market in the future. Even today, many of the critical customers of Generation Y face an almost insoluble dilemma. Although they want to benefit from the numerous advantages of online trading, at the same time they also want to act in accordance with their personal values and morals. The resulting tension results in the last resort, either in a purchase, which for reflecting customers, “does not feel good” or in making the decision not to purchase due to the internal discrepancy. The object of the online businesses is, therefore, to largely minimize or eliminate the pressure in order to appeal to those customers who expect the social and environmental responsibilities from online retailers. But who exactly are the customers? How can this balancing act between e-commerce on the one hand and CSR on the other side be mastered?

T1 - A Comparative Approach to the Protection of Fashion Innovations T2 - UC Berkeley Recent Work N2 - This paper determines the relevance of industrial property rights to the development of innovations in the fashion industry. It examines how the level of innovation can remain high despite a free exchange of intellectual property – fashion designs – within the industry: The importance of innovation for a fashion business in the industry is determined by the choice of it’s competitive strategy. That is, either to be an innovator who creates fashion innovations or to be an imitator who adopts them once they have proven their ability to prevail in the market. The success of innovators depends largely on their ability to react to fashion trends, reinforced by the social role of fashion products and to the extent of their potential to confer status on the owner. Thus the duration of a temporary monopoly gained by an innovation is limited not only by the market entrance of imitators – a period of time that can be prolonged by making use of industrial property rights protection – but also by the constant changes in fashion, a process barely affected by the utilization of intellectual property rights protection. A monopoly maintained by using intellectual property rights might very well not extend the product life cycle beyond the limits posed by the shifting changes of fashion; moreover, an extended life cycle maintained in these circumstances could seriously limit the innovators agility in satisfying consumer demand in line with fashion trends and provoke an inappropriate allocation of resources to developing unfashionable innovations, resulting in a much greater risk of product failure.

In an age of Bring-Your-Own-Device, small businesses through to globally operating companies increasingly support their employees and customers with SaaS-applications that allow access to internal and external business information. Whether employees are in the office, at a client facility, at home or on the road, they need fast, easy access to business applications with any type of device. SaaS offers companies an interesting alternative to classical on-premise IT solutions. Cloud computing provides innovative applications, high connectivity and performance, cost reduction, flexibility and fast time to market with a minimum of effort. Cloud computing is a special form of outsourcing that has its roots in the fifties. Ten years ago similar concepts to cloud computing e.g. Application Service Providing (ASP) appeared and failed. But it seems that the willingness to use cloud computing is now much higher and the cost pressure effects of the financial crisis also motivate decision makers in companies to focus on cloud computing. This contribution presents the results of actual scientific literature investigations alongside interviews with owners of Software-as-a-Service Marketplaces. It describes several types of SaaS marketplaces using different business models to bring together customers and providers. It shows that SaaS marketplaces are two-sided and demonstrates how platforms are emerging that bundle features into significant value propositions for both sides. This work is relevant to firms who seek business solution recommendations beyond the focus of their on-premise-focussed advisors. It is also relevant for owners and potential owners of SaaS marketplaces and SaaS providers exploring alternatives in their distribution mix.

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a vision of an environment that puts the needs of the user in the center of the technological design process. An AmI environment consists of ubiquitous distributed devices such as sensors, displays, data memories which are embedded in everyday objects like walls, clothes, tables or the pavement. These devices are interconnected and seamlessly deliver applications and services to the user. AmI emphasizes the intelligence of the environments interfaces and the intelligence that can be achieved by correlating context information from different data sources. In this work we present an approach to transfer the AmI vision to the public services sector using the paradigm of service orientation and Cloud Computing. Based on scenarios in the healthcare sector the benefits and challenges of such transfer are presented.

Seit 2005 wird zusammen mit der TU Berlin der Einsatz innovativer Informations-technologien (IT) in diesem Bereich konsequent erweitert. Die Kombination aus einer unauffälligen (unobtrusiven) IT-Infrastruktur und einer flächendeckenden und kontextbezogenen Einsetzbarkeit wird oft als ambient bezeichnet und stellt sehr spezifische Anforderungen an die Gestaltung der Mensch-Maschine-Interaktionen. In diesem Beitrag wird die Gestaltung eines Systems für die Ver- und Entsorgung als Teil der Facility Management Aufgaben beschrieben. Ausgehend von der Beschreibung unseres Vorgehensmodells zur Erhebung der Ist-Prozesse und Usability Evaluation, werden in einem zweiten Schritt Nutzerprofile erstellt und die Ist-Prozesse um diese erweitert. Die zweite Hälfte des Beitrags beschreibt das eingeführte, ambiente Ver- und Entsorgungssystem, zusammen mit einigen Interaktionsszenarien. Abschließend erfolgt eine Evaluierung der Wirtschaftlichkeit und der Usability des Systems. N2 - Berlin is one of the major European capitals with a broad range of public services. In 2003 the „Landesbetrieb für Gebäudebewirtschaftung" (LFG) was established by the Berlin Senate, which bundles the facility management activities of the country. Since 2005 the use of innovative information technologies (IT) within this range are consistently expanded together with the TU Berlin. The combination of an inconspicuous (unobtrusive) IT infrastructure and a surface-covering and contextual applicability is often designated as ambient and makes very specific demands for the design of human-machine interactions. In this article the design of a system for the maintenance and disposal is described as a part of facility management tasks. Based on the description of our process model for the collection of the actual processes and usability evaluation, in a second step user profiles are provided and the actual processes by these are extended. The second half of the article describes the imported, ambient maintenance and disposal system, together with some interaction scenarios. Finally, an evaluation of the efficiency and usability of the system occurs.

In this context two different models and expert surveys are used in this study to evaluate the readiness level of the city of Medellin to adopt smart grid technologies. The results of this study show that the City has the utilities, the knowledge, the universities and the human resource to become a role model in the region. But an effort to integrate all the actors and impulse a common agenda is required. The utility companies need to lead this development, but regulators, academia and industry must back up this endeavor and enable Medellin to lead the power grid development of the next years in the region.

Therefore, it can serve as a natural fit for bringing traditional IT governance approaches forward to the challenges of cloud governance. In this work we present an approach for mapping IT governance mindsets to the aspects of SOA governance. It allows an IT organisation the adaptation and the continuous usage of already established governance models during the adoption of cloud computing solutions.

In general, there are two kinds of IT resources - IT infrastructures and IT staff. An optimized utilization of these resources requires both quantitative and qualitative analysis. While IT infrastructures can offer raw data for such analyses, data about IT staff often requires additional preparation and augmentation. One source for IT staff-related data can be provided by incident management and ticketing systems. While performance data from such systems is often stored in logfiles it is rarely evaluated extensively. In this article we propose the usage of such data sources for IT staff behavior evaluation and also present the relevant augmentation techniques. We claim that our approach is able to provide more in-depth insights as compared to typical data visualization and dashboard techniques. Our modeling methodology is based on the approach of system dynamics. We also provide formal models and simulation results where we demonstrate the feasibility of the approach using real-life logfiles from an international telecommunication provider.

While human experience often manifests itself as intuition, intuition can be notoriously misleading, particularly in the case of quantitative data and subtle relations between different data sets. This article augments managerial intuition with knowledge derived from a specific byproduct of automated transaction processing performance and log data of the processing software. More specifically, the authors consider data generated by incident management and ticketing systems within IT support departments. The authors’ approach utilizes a rigorous analysis methodology based on System Dynamics. This allows for identifying real causalities and hidden dependencies between different datasets. The authors can then use them to derive and assemble knowledge bases for improved management and governance in this context. This approach is able to provide more in depth insights as compared to typical data visualization and dashboard techniques. In the experimental results section, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. It is applied on real life datasets and log files from an international telecommunication provider and considered different improvements in management and governance that result from it.

ASP marketplaces offer a plurality of pricing models and different levels of service. From whole system and whole service to single applications and methods, every digital product and service can be provided through an ASP marketplace. There is a need for ASP marketplaces, which gives the user a transparent insight into the ASP market. In this paper we define Application Service Providing in the context of Outsourcing. Then we analyze relevant software classes for ASP marketplaces. Finally we will set criteria to compare different levels of service of ASP marketplace. This paper gives an overview of key characteristics ASP marketplace provider must take into account by preparing the business process in order to successfully deliver application services.

As a response healthcare institutions are relying in the implementation of Information and communication technologies (ICTs) to overcome difficulties and satisfy patients’ demands in a cost-effective way adopting new technologies capable to innovate, extend, and redefine the way healthcare has been delivered for decades. New technological innovations such as Internet of things (IoT), Smart item technology, and cloud computing can improve the traditional e-healthcare system and extend service provision beyond the hospital facilities by using wireless sensor networks (WSN) and radio frequency identification devices (RFID), providing a new type of services advertised as “smart.” This type of services, enable doctors to treat patients remotely and allows people to do their normal daily routines, occupations, and activities while receiving appropriate, timely, and high-quality ubiquitous healthcare services. Methods: An exploratory study is performed to review the route towards smart healthcare services, emphasizing the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and smart item technology as enhancers for smart healthcare services provision. Results/findings: A new technological infrastructure promises to transform medical practice and disease prevention by empowering healthcare institutions with smart items for remote patient monitoring eliminating time-wasting procedures, reducing health costs, improving quality of service and patients satisfaction. Implications/conclusions: Traditional e-healthcare system is transitioning into an interconnected smart-healthcare system potentiated by new technological advances capable to extend healthcare service provision and offer smart healthcare services.

T1 - Strategies to reduce information asymmetry in Web Service Market T2 - Proceedings of the Eleventh European Conference on Information Systems N2 - The web service model provides fundamental advantages compared to the classical software usage model. But transactions in the web service market have by far not reached the expected level. A reason for the tendency of market failure is the verifiable information asymmetry and uncertainty in the web service market. Besides deficiencies on the supply side, regarding configuration, display and communication of web service bundles, the limited web service knowledge of potential buyers are constitutional causes to the modest development and enforcement of the web service model. By the help of strategies derived from information economics the present study elaborates measures to take in order to prevent the market for web based services from failing. The conclusions of an online-based questioning experiment offer strategic recommendations to reduce buyer’s uncertainty in outsourcing decision. Results of the experiment point out the significant positive impact to reduce information asymmetry and transaction uncertainty in the web service market by integrating information substitutes in the web service bundle in order to transform experience and credence qualities into search qualities. It can be verified that web service customers have a higher willingness to pay when information substitutes are integrated into the web service bundle.

At this point, it is still unclear why and when customers prefer the ASP model over more traditional approaches. To make ASP more attractive, more knowledge about possible pricing and product strategies is needed. In this paper we describe different business models for ASP marketplaces. We first compare the cost structures of the classical licensing model with the new server-based approach. Then we illustrate how price and product differentiation may improve overall market efficiency. In particular, we show that by selling different software versions for different prices, ASP marketplaces may obtain near-optimal revenues with products that are relatively inexpensive, disaggregated, and customizable. Consumers can thus choose between a wide variety of product lines to fit their differing budgets and requirements.

In this paper we will describe how process mining results will increase the willingness of cross company data aggregation and the usage of shared business collaboration infrastructures. The results of our contributions are based on process and data analyses in the customer relation management of a leading German passenger airline. As information sharing is considered a central challenge among supply chain partners, we describe the role of data aggregation as a requirement for process mining in collaborative infrastructures. Aggregating data on the one hand can preserve companies from compromising their local data. On the other hand valuable network information may get lost. We use process mining to derive collaborative business process models. Therefore, we evaluate the impact of data aggregation on the significance of process mining results.

We present the results of an online experiment, where subjects were confronted with a variety of choices and decisions relating to web service markets and service composition. Our analysis shows that people expect the price of a composite web service to be lower than the sum of the prices of the elementary services, that is, users are not willing to pay for aggregation by a third party. To obtain a viable business model for composite web services, non-standard pricing mechanisms, such as auctions and negotiations, possibly supported by electronic agents, have to be taken into consideration. Usage-based pricing schemes, combined with an option to switch to a flat subscription, seem most appropriate to penetrate the developing market for web services.
