Designing Boundary Objects for Virtual Collaboration
Marc Marheineke explores the phenomenon of boundary objects in the process of virtual collaboration. Virtual collaboration is an interactive act that connects jointly and voluntarily collaborating individuals that are electronically linked and he examines these communities from different perspectives. All communities are characterized by their aim to conduce to shared understanding through a purposeful use of boundary objects. These objects are artefacts that serve two or more community members to establish collaboration. This book shows in a design-oriented process how and when to use these boundary objects for virtual collaboration.
Co-Creation of High-Tech Products in the B2B Domain
Leontin Karl Grafmüller explores how companies can better manage co-creation in the B2B high-tech domain. Co-creation is an active, creative and social collaboration process between customers and providers, in which customers become active participants in innovation processes of a firm to jointly develop new products. The co-creation of high-tech products poses several challenges related to high product complexity such as the time intensity or incorrect specifications. The author investigates this topic from different angles and showcases how the challenges involved are faced to enhance both the efficiency and efficacy of the co-creation of high-tech products in the B2B domain.
Bridging Knowledge Boundaries
We explore objects which are used to span knowledge boundaries (Carlile, [Carlile, P. R., 2004]) in order to establish shared understanding in virtual innovation communities. In particular, the use of a mix of such boundary objects during collaboration on a virtual whiteboard is studied. Five collaborations with in total 31 participants are analyzed on the micro level of activities. We conceptualize collaboration activities according to Dennis et al. ([Dennis, A.R., 2008]) as conveyance of information and convergence on meaning. Both, conveyance and convergence activities are necessary to establish shared understanding. Our results show why and how boundary objects are used specific to conveyance or convergence activities. We, thus, provide confirmative empirical evidence for the theoretical propositions of Dennis et al. ([Dennis, A.R., 2008]) and extend current research on knowledge sharing in virtual innovation by showing how exactly boundary objects contribute. Practical implications include propositions for the design of collaboration platforms and innovation processes.
Lowering Knowledge Boundaries Through Collaboration Technology
Within communities knowledge is shared regularly. Although today's communities can rely on sophisticated collaboration technologies, the sharing of knowledge remains impeded by different social mechanisms. Removing impediments that originate from different understandings between knowledge exchanging individuals has been called boundary management by Carlile. Boundary management can be supported by the use of specific objects. We investigate collaboration technology as shared object within an organizational knowledge community. In this sense, collaboration technology is conceived as a means to support the spanning of knowledge boundaries. This research-in-progress proposes a design science re...
Faktoren für einen erfolgreichen Bildungsexport
German Abstract: Die Bedeutung von Dienstleistungen wächst durch die zunehmenden internationalen Verflechtungen signifikant. In diesem Zusammenhang sollen in der vorliegenden Studie wichtige Faktoren für den Export von wissensintensiven Dienstleistungen aufgezeigt werden. Da das deutsche Aus- und Weiterbildungsmodell ohne spezifische Anpassungen nicht in ein Zielland übertragen werden kann, sollen in dieser Untersuchung konkrete Aussagen getroffen werden, die Bildungsexporteure bei der Erbringung ihrer Dienstleistungen unterstützen sollen. Die qualitative Untersuchung basiert auf 18 Interviews, die mit Führungskräften in Deutschland und Tunesien geführt wurden. Wir argumentieren, dass auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen Barrieren existieren, die teilweise durch eine intensivere Kommunikation überwunden oder minimiert werden können. Abschließend werden Handlungsempfehlungen für den Export von Bildungsdienstleistungen abgeleitet.
Progress in Industrial Mathematics at ECMI 2021
This book gathers peer-reviewed contributions submitted to the 21st European Conference on Mathematics for Industry, ECMI 2021, which was virtually held online, hosted by the University of Wuppertal, Germany, from April 13th to April 15th, 2021. The works explore mathematics in a wide variety of applications, ranging from problems in electronics, energy and the environment, to mechanics and mechatronics. Topics covered include: Applied Physics, Biology and Medicine, Cybersecurity, Data Science, Economics, Finance and Insurance, Energy, Production Systems, Social Challenges, and Vehicles and Transportation. The goal of the European Consortium for Mathematics in Industry (ECMI) conference seri...
The Longing for Myth in Germany
Since the dawn of Romanticism, artists and intellectuals in Germany have maintained an abiding interest in the gods and myths of antiquity while calling for a new mythology suitable to the modern age. In this study, George S. Williamson examines the factors that gave rise to this distinct and profound longing for myth. In doing so, he demonstrates the entanglement of aesthetic and philosophical ambitions in Germany with some of the major religious conflicts of the nineteenth century. Through readings of key intellectuals ranging from Herder and Schelling to Wagner and Nietzsche, Williamson highlights three crucial factors in the emergence of the German engagement with myth: the tradition of ...
