Stakeholder roles in sustainable supply chain management: a literature review
(2022-10-25)
Since ecological deterioration and social discrepancy are intensifying, multiple stakeholders are driving companies to incorporate sustainability in their supply chains. Thus, integrating non-traditional supply chain stakeholders, such as non-governmental organizations and competitors, in supply chain practices is essential for achieving a more sustainable supply chain. Hence, this research aims to show how stakeholders and their roles are related to sustainable supply chain management practices. A systematic literature ...

How to conduct systematic literature reviews in management research: a guide in 6 steps and 14 decisions
(2023-05-12)
Systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have become a standard tool in many fields of management research but are often considerably less stringently presented than other pieces of research. The resulting lack of replicability of the research and conclusions has spurred a vital debate on the SLR process, but related guidance is scattered across a number of core references and is overly centered on the design and conduct of the SLR, while failing to guide researchers in crafting and presenting their findings in an impactful ...

Konfliktmanagement von interpersonellen und Intragruppenkonflikten in virtuellen Sitzungsformaten – Eine explorative Studie
(2022-12-05)
Die Bildung virtueller Teams nimmt durch die Digitalisierung, Internationalisierung sowie die pandemische Lage stetig zu. Dies bringt viele Vorteile, aber auch ein gesteigertes Konfliktpotenzial mit sich. Folglich gewinnen Konfliktmanagementstrategien für virtuelle Sitzungsformate zunehmend an Relevanz. Im Folgenden wird ein praxisrelevanter Handlungsleitfaden für virtuelles Konfliktmanagement dargelegt. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es von besonderer Bedeutung ist, eine realitätsnahe Begegnungssituation durch Videokonferenzen, ...

Countering Negotiation Power Asymmetries by Using the Adjusted Winner Algorithm
(2023-03-10)
One promise of computational decision support is enabling better solutions in interactions and social exchange by supporting human strengths (e.g. intuitive decision-making) with formal procedures. This study investigates whether mathematical post-negotiation procedures can guide parties to an efficient negotiation result and thus overcome the shortcomings of human-only approaches in the situation of power asymmetry. The results show that (a) an increase in power by means of a rise in issue authority for one of the ...

Sustainability performance measurement in risk and uncertainty management: An analysis of base of the pyramid supply chain literature
(2022-10-10)
Risk management in the base of the pyramid (BoP) environment is needed to ensure that firms performance objectives are met. Accordingly, integrating sustainability performance measurement in the supply chain risk management would offer interesting avenues for managing risks in BoP supply chain. Therefore, the paper conceptualizes an intersection between supply chain risk/uncertainty management and sustainable performance measurement. This intersection is then tested by a literature review of 164 BoP SC articles between ...

The effects of social norms and observability on food choice
(2024-05-04)
People often adapt their behavior to the behavior of other people. We test with the help of an experiment whether this also applies to the choice of food and whether the sensitivity regarding others’ behavior increases when the food choice is observable. Participants in the experiment are first-year students who are confronted with different statements about the diets of students already enrolled and studying at the university. Participants then choose between vouchers for vegan, vegetarian, or meat-based foods, with ...

Leading in times of crisis and remote work: perceived consideration leadership behavior and its effect on follower work engagement
(2024-03-20)
Based on the job-demands resources theory, we examine whether leadership behavior affects followers' work engagement in the context of remote work during times of crisis, and how this effect can be explained. We focus on consideration leadership and its impact on followers' engagement under conditions of enforced remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therein, we examine the role of optimism as a potential mediator. To better understand how the impact of consideration leadership behavior unfolds during crises, we ...

Research and development intensive clusters and regional competitiveness
(2023-05-02)
Modern cluster theory provides reasons for positive external effects that accrue from the interaction of spatially proximate firms operating in common and related fields of economic activity. In this paper, we examine the impact of R&D-intensive clusters as a key factor of regional competitiveness on productivity growth. In relying on a hybrid approach of cluster identification, we examine effects of cluster specialization and diversity for a panel of German NUTS-3 regions in 2003–2019. After controlling for regional ...

Basisarbeit und menschengerechte Arbeitsgestaltung – Strategische Erfordernisse und Ansätze
(2023-11-24)
In diesem Beitrag wird der Aspekt der Basisarbeit beleuchtet, der aus der zunehmenden Komplexität der technischen Entwicklung resultiert. Eine technologische Entwicklung im Rahmen des Gesamtsystems wird nicht linear aus ergonomischen Anforderungen heraus entwickelt, sondern erwächst aus einem komplexen und dynamischen Wechselspiel zwischen unterschiedlichen Akteur/-innen. Aus dieser Eigendynamik des Gesamtsystems ergeben sich ungünstige Entwicklungen, die Sheridan (2002) als ‚Entfremdung‘ und ‚Versklavung‘ des Menschen ...
