The process of change is difficult to manage. In this paper the authors investigate a planned organisational change involving a marketing department that did not reach its objectives and had several unwanted outcomes. The authors show how a multi-level model is helpful understanding change processes, and suggest how change can be managed more successfully.
Aufwachsen in Deutschland heißt heute hineinwachsen in eine Gesellschaft, die geprägt ist durch Wandel, Medien, Kommerzialisierung und Digitalisierung unserer Lebenswelt. Auch das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen gestiegenen Möglichkeiten und Freiheiten einerseits und erhöhten Risiken und Entscheidungszwängen andererseits ist dabei zentral. Angesichts einer gestiegenen Zahl an Deliquenz, Gesundheitsstörungen, erhöhter Gewaltbereitschaft und einer Zunahme von Suchtverhalten bei Kindern und Jugendlichen sind Maßnahmen in der Kinder- und Jugendarbeit erforderlich, die bei den Betroffenen und ihrem Problembewusstsein ansetzen. Die vorliegende Untersuchung über die Probleme von Kindern und Jugendlichen stellt Ergebnisse vor, denen konkrete Aussagen von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu ihrer Erfahrungswelt zugrunde liegen. Sie greift Fragen auf, die in Untersuchungen noch zu wenig Berücksichtigung finden und bildet damit einen aktuellen Beitrag zur Diskussion um Kindheit heute.
Fremd im eigenen Land: Aussiedler in Deutschland ; Situation, Identität, Bildung und Integration
(2011)
Die Migrations- und Integrationsdebatte ist in den letzten Jahren mehr und mehr zu einem zentralen Thema in der Öffentlichkeit geworden. 2006 lebten 15,1 Millionen Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund in Deutschland. Dies entspricht 19 % der Bevölkerung. Man vergisst oft, dass es sich dabei auch um Aussiedler und Spätaussiedler handelt, die immerhin ca. 10 % aller Migranten ausmachen. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine Symbiose aus historischem Überblick, allgemeiner Darstellung zu den Voraussetzungen, Motiven, Problemen sowie weiteren Aspekten zur Situation der Aussiedler und konkreten Anregungen zur Integrationsarbeit. Die Abhandlung hält darüber hinaus praktische Anregungen für die Arbeit mit Migranten bereit und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Integrationsdebatte.
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2001 im Fachbereich BWL - Marketing, Unternehmenskommunikation, CRM, Marktforschung, Note: 1,3, FernUniversität Hagen (Wirtschaftswissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: E-Commerce ist resistent gegen Rezessionen. Selbst wenn das Wirtschaftswachstum global betroffen ist, werden die Umsätze aus E-Commerce sich als robust erweisen.Welche Potentiale, Chancen und Risiken hat der Einsatz von E-Commerce im Industriegütergeschäft? Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht dazu den Einsatz von E-Commerce innerhalb der einzelnen Phasen des Industriegütergeschäfts; die Auswirkungen dieses Einsatzes auf die phasenübergreifenden Besonderheiten des Industriegütergeschäfts; und die Änderungen und Herausforderungen an Unternehmen des B2B-Geschäfts durch E-Commerce.Von der Basis der technischen und begrifflichen Grundlagen des E-Commerce aus steht das Industriegütermarketing im Zentrum der Arbeit. Dabei geht es auch um die Potentiale des E-Commerce für die Marktforschung und für die Wertschöpfung von B2B Unternehmen aus der Sicht des Marketings. Rechtliche und kostenbezogene Aspekte runden die Darstellung ab.

A key point that remains to be addressed is the assurance of service levels for end-user applications that rely on these provider models. This chapter describes an approach for addressing non-functional properties (NFPs) of services in service-oriented architectures (SOA). The approach is based on reference models such as the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) and the SOA life cycle model. It has been applied in several industrial settings in the telecommunications sector.
The purpose of this work is to provide a representative survey of current trends in the perception, assessment and adoption of cloud computing within the enterprise. Cloud computing can be regarded as the general principle for using and providing web and grid services. First, we provide a meta-study, where we evaluate existing and published empirical studies. Furthermore, we conduct and evaluate an own empirical study with a representative group of European and International enterprises. Key findings of the work include the significantly higher importance of Business Drivers for the adoption of cloud computing, as compared to Technical Drivers.
Enterprises today often strive to keep up with the paces of technological development. A particular case in point is the IT function where traditional governance approaches are often questioned by technology trends. Examples for such trends in the last ten years are the service-oriented architecture (SOA) and cloud computing. The introduction of SOA in the enterprise was one of the key enablers for cloud computing. Therefore, it can serve as a natural fit for bringing traditional IT governance approaches forward to the challenges of cloud governance. This article presents an approach for extending IT governance mindsets to the areas of SOA and cloud governance. It allows an IT organisation the adaptation and the continuous usage of already established governance knowledge and models during the adoption of cloud computing solutions. The authors also present an application case study where they demonstrate the feasibility of the approach in real-life scenarios in the context of an international telecommunication provider.
Knowledge of behavioral patterns of a system can contribute to an optimized management and governance of the same system, or of similar systems. 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.
Dependability should be considered throughout the phases of the SOA life cycle. This article proposes the application of a service level management approach to address dependability and presents dependability-related activities for every stage (Model, Assemble, Deploy, and Manage) of the SOA life cycle. Furthermore, we describe the concepts and the formalisms that are behind these activities. Following these activities service providers and aggregators can offer optimized levels of dependability from their existing services and thus better meet user requirements.
Cloud Computing is emerging as a predominant paradigm for obtaining and providing computing functionality in the enterprise. Organizations that are planning to use cloud computing offerings struggle with the question “How do I choose the right offering?” Cloud offerings exhibit a variety of pricing models and different levels of service and functionality. In this article the authors define first Cloud Computing in the context of IT Governance. Then they set criteria to compare different offerings at the level of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). This is an important precondition for the reduction of the verifiable information asymmetry and uncertainty in the cloud market. Besides deficiencies on the supply side, regarding configuration, display and communication of service bundles, the limited knowledge of potential buyers is main reason for the modest adoption. The authors apply strategies derived from information economics to reduce this asymmetry by integrating information substitutes in the service marketplace description, thereby transforming experience and credence qualities into search qualities.
When optimizing IT operations organizations typically aim to optimize resource usage. 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.
IT departments within enterprises often utilize incident management and ticketing systems. While performance data from such systems is often stored in logfiles it is rarely evaluated extensively. In this work we assess the applicability of an approach for extended evaluation of logged data from such systems. Our evaluation is focused on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and aims to discover more in-depth insights as compared to typical data visualization and dashboard techniques.
We also present a practical case study where we demonstrate the feasibility of the approach using real-life logfiles from an international telecommunication provider. Our modeling methodology is based on the approach of System Dynamics.
