AM represents the technological foundation of future manufacturing which efficiently utilises materials avoiding unnecessary waste. Further, it could positively impact the transition towards CE by addressing issues related to the operations and supply chains while positively influencing ...

Cultural Impacts on the Spread of Mobile Commerce: An International Comparison
(Information Science Reference, 2009)
Culture predefines the framework of needs, beliefs, and norms in most decisions humans make in their lives. However, the impact of culture often tends to be neglected in the investigation into adaptation of mobile business technologies. This chapter aims to address that lacuna by highlighting cultural differences and their consequences for the diffusion of mobile technologies in business and society, as well as its acceptance in mobile direct marketing and mobile commerce. We achieve our objective in the following ...

Identity and image dynamics – managing social exclusion in profitable way
(Publishing House of the University of Economics, 2015)
The above statement has long been established as the canonical view of economic reality, and it has only been a couple of years since we thoroughly started to contest and debate this world-view. Grasping this, we focus on two aspects about the above perception in detail: First, a suggestion to redefine the term ‘market’ in a more up-to-date fashion, second, the debunking of the suspicious correlation between ‘no money to spend’ and ‘no money to be made’.

Normative and cognitive influences on female entrepreneurial reluctance at the base of the pyramid - an explorative study of cleaning ladies in Istanbul
(COMSATS, Inst. of Information Technology, 2013)
Previous research has considered entrepreneurship as a way out of poverty and as a chance to foster economic growth. Moreover, specifically start-ups headed by women have played an important role in the economic development and it has been argued that gender-related issues, amongst others, play a significant role for the performance of a country or region. Against this background, this qualitative study explores desires, reluctances and constraints toward entrepreneurial activities of a comparably homogenous group ...

Individual Decision-Making and Inflation Persistence
(2015-03-10)
The traditional task of a central bank is to preserve price stability and, in doing so, not to impair the real economy more than necessary. To meet this challenge, it is of great relevance whether inflation is only driven by inflation expectations and the current output gap or whether it is, in addition, influenced by past inflation. In the former case, as described by the New Keynesian Phillips curve, the central bank can immediately and simultaneously achieve price stability and equilibrium output, the so-called ...

Transforming towards a sustainable circular economy: exploring the social dimension, actor contribution and emerging paradoxes
(2023)
Pressing global societal challenges highlight organisational vulnerability and the need to transform towards more sustainable production and consumption measures. The circular economy concept is considered an alternative to the prevalent linear economic system. It aims to contribute to sustainable development by slowing and closing resource cycles and facilitating cross-sectoral collaboration of multiple stakeholders. Yet, the desired transformation is lagging behind and the current debate focuses primarily on the ...

Ergebnisse und Redundanz in der Diskussion um eWOM: Eine kritische Literaturauswertung
(Universität Paderborn, 2014)
Electronic Word-Of-Mouth (eWOM) und Online Rezensionen (OR) werden als einer der Schlüsselfaktoren für erfolgreichen E-Commerce identifiziert. Jedoch sind die beeinflussenden Motivationsfaktoren für das Verfassen sowie das Lesen von OR bis heute gesamtheitlich nur unzureichend untersucht. Die vorliegende Literaturauswertung sammelt die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse mit dem Ansatz, ein möglichst breites Bild der Motive für eWOM-Aktivitäten zu geben. Das Ergebnis der extensiven Literaturanalyse zeigt, dass für ...
