Understanding change - shaping the future
The dynamics of economic development and its dependence on global interactions are growing faster than ever before. This makes forecasting the future particularly difficult. Nevertheless, a look at long-term trends offers an opportunity to open the discussion about what reality might await us tomorrow and how we intend to deal with it. From the point of view of the member institutes of the Fraunhofer Group for Innovation Research, this paper presents a selection of trends that will have a significant impact on innovation systems in the period up to 2030. On this basis, theses for innovation in the year 2030 are derived providing the baseline for discussions on the requirements to ensure future competitiveness.
Innovation and Covid-19: Food for Thought on the Future of Innovation
Virtually all areas of life were plunged into crisis when the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020. While innovation offers paths out of the crisis, many aspects of innovation are themselves feeling the effects of it. Against this backdrop, the question is how the Covid-19 pandemic will impact the future of innovation. In the following section, we will examine this by reviewing the “Understanding Change, Shaping the Future. Impulses for the Future of Innovation” paper in a pandemic context. Starting with the relevant trends for innovation systems identified in 2018, and the theses developed on this basis, we would once again like to take you forward in time to 2030. From this vantage point we will look back on the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on innovation systems and examine the resulting opportunities and risks in more detail. Among the trends considered relevant for innovation systems were the digital transformation, the growing complexity of innovation systems, the continuously expanding stakeholder base, a more frequent use of Open Science approaches, and a trend towards the development of holistic and systemic solutions.
Variational and Extremum Principles in Macroscopic Systems
Recent years have seen a growing trend to derive models of macroscopic phenomena encountered in the fields of engineering, physics, chemistry, ecology, self-organisation theory and econophysics from various variational or extremum principles. Through the link between the integral extremum of a functional and the local extremum of a function (explicit, for example, in the Pontryagin’s maximum principle variational and extremum principles are mutually related. Thus it makes sense to consider them within a common context. The main goal of Variational and Extremum Principles in Macroscopic Systems is to collect various mathematical formulations and examples of physical reasoning that involve b...
Roadmapping Field Study Update 2023. How are roadmaps applied in the real world?
Roadmapping as a method for integrated strategic planning of products, technologies, processes, services, or business models is in the focus of the Roadmapping Field Study. Since the contents and areas of application of roadmaps vary greatly in practice, we set ourselves the goal for the Roadmapping Field Study of finding out how roadmapping is used in the real world. The study was first conducted in 2015. The current study is an online survey with 190 participants. We asked for the organizational areas of application and the content, the organizational integration, the use of information sources, methods, and tools as well as for the challenges and best practices. In addition to the results, differences to the 2015 study as well as correlations are discussed. The results include, for example, that roadmaps are predominantly used for products in strategic planning and rather rarely for production planning.
Secure-by-Design Enterprise Architectures and Business Processes in Supply Chains. Handling Threats from Physical Transport Goods in Parcel Mail Services
Supply chain security encompasses measures preventing theft, smuggling, and sabotage through heightened awareness, enhanced visibility, and increased transparency. This necessitates the adoption of a security-by-design paradigm to achieve effective and efficient security measures, yielding additional benefits such as diminished supply chain costs. Given their vulnerability, transportation and logistics service providers play a pivotal role in supply chain security. This thesis leverages systems security engineering and security-by-design to provide a methodology for designing and evaluating security measures for physical transport goods. It formulates nine principles that define security-by-design and establishes a supply chain security framework. An adaptation of the TOGAF architecture development facilitates the creation of secure-by-design enterprise architectures. Security measures are documented using security-enhanced processes based on BPMN. This enables an analysis and compliance assessment to ascertain the alignment of security with business objectives and the adequate implementation of requirements. The culmination of these efforts is exemplified through a case study.
Disruption field study
How do companies identify potentially disruptive technologies? How are they evaluated? And how are potentially disruptive technologies developed and implemented in companies? The disruption field study addresses these questions with the aim of providing insights into the actual handling of potentially disruptive technologies by companies.
Handbook of Missing Persons
This ambitious multidisciplinary volume surveys the science, forensics, politics, and ethics involved in responding to missing persons cases. International experts across the physical and social sciences offer data, case examples, and insights on best practices, new methods, and emerging specialties that may be employed in investigations. Topics such as secondary victimization, privacy issues, DNA identification, and the challenges of finding victims of war and genocide highlight the uncertainties and complexities surrounding these cases as well as possibilities for location and recovery. This diverse presentation will assist professionals in accessing new ideas, collaborating with colleague...
Ancestors of Robert Leroy Wiegand (1924-)
The parents of Robert Leroy Wiegand are Roy Elmer Wiegand (1905-1984) and Margaret Elizabeth McGregor (1902-1985). Most of the immigrant ancestors were German. After immigrating in the 1800s they settled in Kittanning Township in Armstrong County, Pennsylvania.
