The human right to water - its multi-level protection and implementation in International, European and National law
(kassel university press, 2022)
The object of the research work is the analysis of the multilevel protection of the human right to water and the current degree of implementation that it has received in international, European, and national law, comparing the Italian and German contexts from the constitutional law perspective. Given the absence of an express recognition of the human right to water, another research question concerns the examination of the mechanisms of multilevel protection of human rights, assessing whether the relationships between ...

The widespread diffusion of digital technology increasingly affects traditional contexts. As a result, established industries and ecosystems are required to implement digital innovation.

However, first, the implications for industrial-age ecosystems in established contexts, where the force of digital innovation ...

Organizing for Digital Innovation. Implications for Organizational Forms, Digital Transformation and Digital Innovation Units
(kassel university press, 2023)
This dissertation aims to explore appropriate ways of organizing for digital innovation. It builds on four studies to close knowledge gaps that have recently emerged. First, a longitudinal and holistic analysis of the co-evolution of digital innovations (and their inherent digital technologies) and organizational forms remains lacking, which prevents the use of valuable established knowledge to address emergent challenges and identify important gaps in our understanding. Therefore, the dissertation systematically ...

(kassel university press, 2023)
Die Pandemie hat zu einem abrupten Umstellen des Präsenz‐Schulbetriebs auf Online‐Lehre gezwungen. Man könnte auch von einem Digitalisierungszwang sprechen. Nach der Pandemie gilt es zu analysieren, was gut und bewahrenswert ist und was verändert werden muss – aus unterschiedlichsten Gründen. Zudem gilt es diese Phase, die 2020 mit Notmaßnahmen begann, als Chance zu begreifen, und das Momentum für mehr und gute digitale Lösungen zu nutzen. In Hessen (und darüber hinaus) gilt es nun zukunftsfähige Infrastrukturen für ...

Rural-Urban Transition
(2021-11)
Like elsewhere, migration-led peri-urban (rural clusters) growth of cities has been an important element of rural-urban transformation for centuries. However, only recently, in this process, the rural landscape also benefits from these changes, owing to better communication and market access. Peri-urban areas are consuming peripheral villages. This has put pressure on land and water resources putting environmental health at stake. Loss of biodiversity is imminent due to changing ecological frame conditions in an ...

Barriers of SMEs in Adopting Crowdsourcing and -working and Strategies to Overcome Them
(kassel university press, 2023)
Despite its undisputable benefits for firms, crowdsourcing and ‐working is currently rarely applied in small and medium sized enterprises (SME). Up to now extant literature provides only an incomplete picture of the barriers that hinder SMEs from adopting crowdsourcing and ‐working. Because of these incomplete insights on this phenomenon there is also a great deal of uncertainty on how to overcome these barriers. In the scope of an interview series with 15 SMEs we explore a range of different barriers. In a second ...

The Economic Impact of Digital Payment Systems
(kassel university press, 2023)
Private digital payment systems, e.g., Bitcoin or Ethereum, allow for transactions without the need for a financial institution.

Several questions arise: do digital payment systems affect the value of analog currencies such as cash? Are digital payment systems able to increase welfare? On the other hand, are central banks able to control providers of private digital payment ...
