Core concepts in education are changing. For example, professional performance or expertise is not uniquely the fruit of specialist knowledge acquired at professional schools, but the sum of influences exerted by a complex web of continuous learning opportunities for which an individual is well (or ill) prepared by their schools and their workplace. The key contributory factors to professional expertise are how professional schools connect to professional practice, how schools prepare graduates for continuous learning, and how the workplace endorses continuous development. Thus, the question this volume addresses—how to design learning and working environments that facilitate the integrati...

In this book, the drivers and barriers that motivate or inhibit consumers to participate in e-commerce are investigated, differentiating between the e-commerce subareas of cross-border e-commerce, voice-commerce, conversational-commerce and rental-commerce. This specification is both scientifically and practically relevant, as the different subareas of e-commerce serve different consumer needs and motivations, resulting in a diverse set of antecedents to form consumers' online shopping intentions. Both the respective literature reviews as well as the empirical results of six conducted research studies illustrate the relevance and ubiquity of the four subareas of e-commerce in consumers' everyday online shopping. On the one hand, the results represent an important basis for marketing and consumer research to support a better understanding of the behavioral psychological motives of consumers and better evaluate correlations in shopping behavior. On the other hand, practitioners benefit from the newly gained insights, as online retailers in particular can use them to better adapt their offers to consumer needs and optimize consumers’ online shopping experience.

Michael Weyland erforscht die Verwendung ökonomischer Experimente als handlungsorientierte Unterrichtsmethode. Durch seine systematisch angelegte Untersuchung wird die Wirksamkeit und Effizienz experimentellen Lernens im Rahmen schulischer Lernprozesse erstmals empirisch belegt. Mithilfe methodisch ausgereifter Interventionsstudien im Feld unterzieht er zudem Curricula und Unterrichtsmaterialien für das Inhaltfeld „Wirtschaftsordnung“ einem Re-Design. Mit seinem Ansatz der wirtschaftsdidaktischen Entwicklungsforschung stellt der Autor ein theoriebezogenes und empiriegestütztes Konzept vor, das mit den Mitteln wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisgewinnung zu einer Weiterentwicklung der Unterrichtspraxis beiträgt und auf diese Weise das Theorie-Praxis-Problem der wissenschaftlichen Fachdidaktik überwinden hilft.
