Die Rolle der Beratung in der gesellschaftlichen Transformation zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit
(2024-01-10)
Die Welt befindet sich im Umbruch, die Transformationsforschung (Umweltbundesamt 2017) nimmt dies auf und denkt soziale und ökologische Faktoren zusammen, um die Dichotomie zwischen Profit und Gemeinwohl zu hinterfragen. Die tiefgreifenden Veränderungen führen zu einer überarbeiteten Strategieberatung. Sie wird iterativer und stellt sich stärker auf disruptive Entwicklungen ein. Kunden und externe Partner werden früher und intensiver eingebunden. Obwohl es einen Zweig sich entwickelnder Beratung von Nachhaltigkeit ...

Inside the world of stepsiblings: Linking global production networks to sustainable supply chain management
(2023-07-31)
The theoretical foundation of (sustainable) supply chain management (SSCM) is an issue of frequent debate. Integrating it with the Global Production Networks (GPN), which is a kind of stepsibling, can help expanding the theoretical foundations of SSCM. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the GPN approach links to SSCM in analysing and explaining interorganizational sustainability. This paper is conceptual. Five central GPN constructs are identified: (1) the emerging supply chain structures and sustainability; ...

Does intense tax competition boost public acceptance for inter-municipal cooperation? Evidence from a survey among German citizens and local politicians
(2024-03-28)
Intense tax competition among local governments limits their potential for tax revenues. Inter-municipal cooperation (IMC) in general and joint business parks in particular constitute a platform to coordinate local tax rates with neighboring municipalities to reduce tax competition. We ask whether local politicians and citizens are aware of this logic and whether they account for it. Using survey data from German municipalities, we find citizens’ support for joint business parks to increase in the intensity of tax ...

The relevance of proximity and work-related experience for the individual support for the expansion of power plants: An empirical analysis of wind, coal, and nuclear energy
(2024-06-14)
This paper empirically examines whether proximity to power plants and work-related experience in the wind, coal, and nuclear energy sectors are correlated with the individual support for the expansion of corresponding regional power plants. The data for this analysis stem from a large-scale computer-based survey among more than 3700 citizens in Germany. The econometric analysis with binary and ordered probit models reveals significantly positive correlations between work-related experience in a specific energy sector ...

Acceptance of demand-side flexibility in the residential heating sector — Evidence from a stated choice experiment in Germany
(2024-05-22)
The growing share of renewables and the electrification of the transport and heating sectors are increasingly leading to an imbalance between electricity supply and demand in the distribution grids at the regional and local level. While the supply side is becoming increasingly flexible and volatile, the demand side is largely rigid and inflexible, especially at the household level. However, households have great potential to provide flexibility for grid stability by matching their electricity demand to supply. In ...

“Stop crying your heart out”: how failed founders can use emotional failure narratives
(2023-06-07)
Failed founders experience very intense emotions resulting from their entrepreneurial failure. Since many founders are not discouraged by failure and consider founding a subsequent startup, the need to deal with the stigma attached to failed founders. Applying an experimental research design, this study investigates how failed founders can use emotional failure narratives to approach potential co-founders for their subsequent venture project. We demonstrate that the use of failure narratives that contain both negative ...

Personal communication as a strategy to improve the quality of household organic waste – Does it work? results from a quasi-experimental study in Northern Hesse, Germany
(2024-04-22)
Household organic waste has great potential for closing nutrient cycles in agriculture. This requires proper waste separation by households. Personal communication at the doorstep potentially improves household waste separation behaviour but it is expensive and findings from existing research are mixed. Based on results of previous studies and from a quasi-experiment with non-equivalent groups design in two German municipalities, this paper argues that efficiency of personal communication depends on its context. It ...
