Accelerating Entrepreneurial Decision-Making Through Hybrid Intelligence
(2020)
Purpose: Previous studies revealed that around 75 percent of all start-ups fail at an early stage. One main reason for this tremendous failure rate is that entrepreneurs are typically confronted with high levels of uncertainty about the viability of their proposed business idea. Following this argumentation, entrepreneurial decision-making can be defined as complex decision-making problem under both risk and uncertainty. While risk includes quantifiable probabilities, uncertainty describes situations where neither ...

Antecedents, Interpretations and Consequences of Strategic Change: A Business Model Perspective
(2020-10-15)
Firms increasingly face challenges caused by changes in their environment like shifts in custom-er preferences, the development of new (digital) technologies, or threats by new, disruptive business models (BM). Firm survival and achieving long-term success often require a firm’s reaction to these challenges. Therefore, firms mostly engage in and initiate strategic change like business model innovation (BMI), a dynamic process that alters strategies, structures, and iden-tities and involves various actors. Due to the ...

Organizational resilience
(2020)
Typical terms in organizational resilience definitions are maintenance of positive adjustment or bouncing back. They are very vague and need further specification if they are to be understood. At the beginning of my dissertation in 2016 there were hardly any comprehensive conceptual articles and review papers. Now, in 2020, there are some good conceptual articles (Darkow, 2019; Duchek, 2019; Linnenluecke, 2017; Williams et al., 2017) yet few empirical studies (van der Vegt, Essens, Wahlstrom, & Georg, 2015), which ...

Quantitative analysis of the Interbank credit market e-MID in the high frequency domain
(2020)
Interbankenkreditmärkte, und vor allem das ungesicherte übernacht-Segment, gelten aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln als wichtig für das gesamte Finanzsystem. So können Banken an diesen Märkten effizient Liquidität handeln oder dadurch Verpflichtungen in Zahlungs- und Abrechnungssystemen einhalten. Distorsionen in der Liquiditätsbeschaffung haben dabei negative Auswirkungen auch auf der mikroökonomischen Ebene, da diese die Kreditkonditi-onen von Haushalten und Firmen beeinflussen. Da Interbankenkreditmärkte als der erste ...

The results of the dissertation show that crowdsourcing offers numerous opportunities to support entrepreneurs in ...

The interplay of sustainability and capital markets
(2023)
Humanity faces significant environmental and social challenges, e.g., climate change (UN, 2019). Those challenges are, to some extent, addressed by politics. For instance, the European Union (EU) tries to address environmental topics, such as climate change, with the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth to steer capital flows into more sustainable business models (EU, 2018). This regulatory development, in conjunction with a surging demand for sustainable investment solutions leads to a pressing need for ...

The Implications of Feedback Frequency for Employee Creativity
(2022)
Managers are still floundering when they have to decide on the optimal level of feedback frequency; either when they consider themselves as a source of feedback, but also when they shape the feedback environment of their employees, e.g., by allowing more (or less) frequent customer feedback. Furthermore, given that feedback is a time-consuming task, managers might be reluctant to provide feedback frequently, foregoing a potentially powerful lever for increasing employee creativity. Ultimately, clarifying the ambiguities ...
Dissertation
Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP. Uniform approaches to waste management have proven inadequate, as BoP markets are complex and heterogeneous and thus need to be considered individually.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on identifying factors influence ...
