Green Luxury: New Divide in Positioning Strategies Needed?
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
A basic and commonly shared implicit definition of luxury is “something superfluous.” Consuming such products and services contradicts the modern paradigm of sustainable consumption. However, luxury vendors are frequently introducing new technologies and better working conditions on a large scale, including natural colors and fair treatment of labor in the fashion industry, as well as fully electric-fueled cars, which Tesla has been producing. Previous research suggests that luxury and sustainability are incompatible. ...

Quality Improvement In Manual Assembly By Software-Based Evaluation Of Human Misconduct
(European Safety and Reliability Association, 2019)
For reaching a level of high quality, production processes must be carried out both, economically and reliably. Despite automation and digitalization, manual assembly operations still constitute a key element for creating efficient production processes. However, in practice, creating robust and efficient manual assembly processes often fails because the occurrence of human errors cannot be quantified prospectively. Therefore, a corresponding procedure has been developed at the institutes of the authors. The module-based ...

The logarithmic finite element method
(International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2018)
The Logarithmic finite element (LogFE) method extends the Ritz-Galerkin method to approximations on a non-linear finite-dimensional manifold in the infinitedimensional solution space. Formulating the interpolant on the logarithmic space allows for a novel treatment of the rotational component of the deformation, and induces a strong coupling between rotations and translations. The Logarithmic finite element method provides
a transformation of the initial configuration that is not restricted to an isoparametric formulation.

Outsmarting the MNCs by fitting strategic manoeuvres to national framing: evidence from India
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2017)
This paper focuses on how Indian home-grown companies captured MNCs market in India with the help of strategic maneuvering and understanding their own capabilities. Seizing the framework of Porter’s National Diamond this research follows a caselet approach for illustrating these strategies. The study’s originality springs from understanding changes in demand pattern brought by home-grown companies in the Indian market. A key implication of this paper is that the demand conditions and firm strategy (by means of targeting ...

Controlled magnetic devices in power electronic applications
(IEEE, 2017)
Almost all power electronic converters require magnetic devices and some properties of the converters can be controlled with magnetics. New magnetic materials enable implementation of magnetic control of converters also in high switching frequency applications. The presented paper gives an overview about controllability of magnetic devices in theory and practice, simulation approaches and examples. The focus is on electrically controllable magnetic devices. This means that an additional control winding is wound on ...

Design of Photovoltaic Microinverter for Off-Grid and Grid-Parallel Applications
(VDE Verlag, 2014)
The design and construction of a 500VA microinverter for photovoltaic applications is presented. The developed microinverter is capable of operating as a standalone AC voltage source for small loads or, alternatively, as a grid-parallel system. Possible applications are therefore small off-grid installations as well as installations where space constraints do not allow enough modules to be combined to use string inverters. The design of the microinverter is based on a two stage concept. Two alternative topologies for ...

Weight reduction of DC/DC converters using controllable inductors
(VDE Verlag, 2019-07)
Controllable inductors can be realized by introducing auxiliary windings into the device that partially saturate the core and allow variation of the inductance value. This can be used to achieve zero-voltage switching in a DC/DC converter over a wide load range while at the same time the weight of the inductor is reduced. In this paper the possible size and weight reduction and the influence on the efficiency is calculated and compared to other solutions. The results are verified in a prototype.

Linking entrepreneurial orientation to firm performance in a post-socialist market context: the case of Hungary
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration (SNSPA), Faculty of ManagementTritonic, 2016)
Entrepreneurial orientation provoked the interest of numerous scholars as well as political and administrative decision-makers. Both start-ups and already established corporate entities are increasingly persecuting new opportunities, products, and business models in order to establish superiority above their competitive environment. The tendencies evince an optimist impact of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance, namely on financial performance. Beyond the aforementioned relationship, there are impulses ...

Concept for selecting and integrating traceability systems in the continuous improvement process of SMEs
(2019)
Industry 4.0 is characterized by digitization, globalized markets and a growing demand for individualized products. Therefore, the success of manufacturing companies heavily relies on innovative and customer driven products. However, the industrializing phase of such products is often characterized by the occurring of errors originating in a lack of experience. If errors are not detected prior to delivery, costs will increase considerably (e.g. expensive product recalls). Traceability systems can clearly identify the ...
