Die Messelogistik findet in der Messebranche trotz des grundsätzlich bekannten Kostensenkungs- und Effizienzsteigerungspotenzials bisher wenig Beachtung. Dieses ungenutzte Potenzial bildet den Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit. Da die Koordination der internationalen Logistikketten in der Regel spezialisierten Messelogistikdienstleistern übertragen wird, stehen diese Unternehmen im Fokus der Betrachtung. Zur Untersuchung des Marktes der Messelogistikdienstleister wird der Konfigurationsansatz herangezogen, welcher basierend auf einer multidimensionalen Analyse die Ableitung unterschiedlicher Typen, sogenannter Konfigurationen, erlaubt. Vera Kimmeskamp analysiert auf der Grundlage einer...
Organization design is a key feature of management theory and practice. It addresses the challenges of constructing and maintaining effective organizations. Essential to organizational design is the assumption that it can improve organizations. Faced with the ever-accelerating pace of technological change and the restructuring of markets, many firms have been questioning their own organization. This book is the third to emerge from a series of workshops on organization design, featuring new empirical research and theoretical insights. The chapters are organized around four central themes: 1) Towards New Organizational Forms, 2) Dynamics of Adaptation and Change, 3) Theoretical and Practical issues, 4) Fit and Performance. Collectively, the chapters reflect the state of the art of OD as well as provide a further step towards the evolution of this important field of research.
