To achieve this, it is essential that a complete rethink-ing of the communication strategy of those responsible for the company takes place.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchneidenbachFeldmann2025, author = {Schneidenbach, Konrad and Feldmann, Carsten}, title = {Additive Manufacturing in Corporate Practice: A Survey of Current Practices and Future Prospects}, series = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA 2025)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Applications (ICIEA 2025)}, editor = {Tang, Loon Ching}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Singapore}, year = {2025}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BueckerKayserMayer2025, author = {B{\"u}cker, Michael and Kayser, Franz and Mayer, Thomas}, title = {Addressing Challenges in a Dangerous World: Developing a Design Science Artifact for Advancing Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Research}, series = {Proceedings of the 58th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 58th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences}, publisher = {University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Library}, isbn = {978-0-9981331-8-8}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-18651}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-186518}, pages = {5370 -- 5379}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), deriving intelligence from public data, has gained scrutiny since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Despite numerous attempts at standard definitions, research around technology-driven intelligence gathering and analysis remains ambiguous. This paper uses a Design Science Research (DSR) approach to categorize the technology-driven intelligence construct. Analyzing sixty studies via structured literature review, three domains were identified: maturity, Intelligence Cycle phase, and use case. The resulting framework, developed into a trend radar, was evaluated with expert interviews, revealing technological gaps in planning/direction and dissemination/integration phases. While intelligent support technologies were noted, practical implementation lags behind theory. The human factor remains central to OSINT. Findings suggest future research should develop applications for underserved phases and examine why proven applications are not widely adopted, considering legal, ethical, political, and social factors. This study contributes to technology-driven intelligence literature as a knowledge base, research gap identifier, and guide for further research.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StekZunkDelkeetal.2018, author = {Stek, Klaas and Zunk, Bernd Markus and Delke, Vincent and Schiele, Holger}, title = {Addressing the gap between employees' needs and learning objectives in purchasing \& supply management (PSM study programs; a student-centered learning approach}, series = {Proceedings 12th INTED conference}, booktitle = {Proceedings 12th INTED conference}, address = {Valencia, Spain}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This paper focusses on effective teaching and learning methods in the context of a larger project that aims to align objectives in higher education with employer requirements in the field of purchasing and supply management (PSM).

The artifact presented is a comprehensive architectural framework integrating user-centric design, linguistic processing, and regulatory compliance. The proposed artifact navigates complex federal structures and diverse IT infrastructures, promoting accessibility and inclusivity. Implications suggest enhanced efficiency and accessibility in public service delivery for potentially increasing citizen satisfaction and decreasing employee workload. The study underscores the importance of legal compliance and the evolving regulatory landscape in AI deployment. Future research will involve prototyping and evaluating the artifact's performance and applicability throughout the course of the DSRP, thus contributing to the advancement of digital transformation in public administrations.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Matthies2018, author = {Matthies, Benjamin}, title = {An Ontology for Knowledge Representation in e-Business Projects}, series = {Innovationstag Digitalisierung NRW - ID@NRW 2018}, booktitle = {Innovationstag Digitalisierung NRW - ID@NRW 2018}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KindsgrabDircksenZadek2024, author = {Kindsgrab, Kai and Dircksen, Michael and Zadek, Hartmut}, title = {Analysing Vehicle Cost Dynamics: How CO2 Pricing Drives Electrification in Road Transport}, series = {17th International Doctoral Students Workshop on Logistics, Supply Chain and Production Management}, booktitle = {17th International Doctoral Students Workshop on Logistics, Supply Chain and Production Management}, organization = {Otto von Guericke University Library, Magdeburg, Germany}, isbn = {978-3-948749-47-7}, doi = {10.25673/116221}, pages = {39 -- 46}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BuchholzDelkeSchiele2021, author = {Buchholz, Wolfgang and Delke, Vincent and Schiele, Holger}, title = {Assessing serious games within purchasing and supply management education: an in-class experiment}, series = {European Conference Games-Based Learning}, booktitle = {European Conference Games-Based Learning}, year = {2021}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WolteringSardouxKlasenFeldmann2020, author = {Woltering, Tim and Sardoux Klasen, Andre and Feldmann, Carsten}, title = {Augmented Reality in the Packing Process A Model for Analyzing Economic Efficiency}, series = {Dynamics in Logistics.

Nevertheless, the benefits of AR compared to conventional methods require a holistic analysis for investment decision making. Until now, research has only assessed case-study-related potentials and selected aspects of the technology. This paper answers the following research questions: How can the economic efficiency of AR in the packing process be quantified by utilizing a holistic model of value drivers? How can AR be technically implemented for packing processes in outbound logistics? What economic profit results from the use of AR technology in a case company's packing process? The presented model enables the investment decision to be supported based on economic value added (EVA), thereby providing an assessment of value drivers in packing systems. Cost drivers are identified on the basis of the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) process model. The technical and economic validation of the model was carried out by means of an empirical study: Expert interviews were conducted for validating the model elements. Data collection by a prototype at a mechanical-engineering company was used to calculate the value contribution. The mapping of cause-effect relationships within the framework of EVA driver trees has proven itself in both the expert interviews and the prototype validation. The field experiment at the case company demonstrated a positive value contribution of AR, in particular regarding employee productivity, length and variance of throughput time, quality aspects, volume utilization, and quantity of packing material used.}, language = {de} }
