Researchers have previously utilized the advantages of a design driven by well-being and intergenerational collaboration (IGC) for successful innovation. Unfortunately, scant information exists regarding barrier dimensions and correlated design solutions in the information systems (IS) domain, which can serve as a starting point for a design oriented toward well-being in an IGC system. Therefore, in this study, we applied the positive computing approach to guide our analysis in a systematic literature review and developed a framework oriented toward well-being for a system with a multi-generational team. Our study contributes to the IS community by providing five dimensions of barriers to IGC and the corresponding well-being determinants for positive system design. In addition, we propose further research directions to close the research gap based on the review outcomes.
Globalization and information technology enable people to join the movement of global citizenship and work without borders. However, different type of barriers existed that could affect collaboration in today’s work environment, in which different generations are involved. Although researchers have identified several technical barriers to intergenerational collaboration (iGOAL), the influence of cultural diversity on iGOAL has rarely been studied. Therefore, using a quantitative study approach, this paper investigates the impact of differences in cultural background on perceived technical and operational barriers to iGOAL. Our study reveals six barriers to IGC that are perceived differently by culturally diverse people (CDP) and non-CDP. Furthermore, CDP can foster IGC because CDP consider the barriers to be of less of a reason to avoid working with different generations than do non-CDP.
Enabling decentral collaborative innovation processes -a web based real time collaboration platform
(2018)
The main goal of this paper is to define a collaborative innovation process as well as a supporting tool. It is motivated through the increasing competition on global markets and the resultant propagation of decentralized projects with a high demand of innovative collaboration in global contexts. It bases on a project accomplished by the author group. A detailed literature review and the action design research methodology of the project led to an enhanced process model for decentral collaborative innovation processes and a basic realization of a browser based real time tool to enable these processes.The initial evaluation in a practical distributed setting has shown that the created tool is a useful way to support collaborative innovation processes.
Vor dem Hintergrund globaler Vernetzung, Digitalisierung und Big Data geht das Excel-Zeitalter seinem Ende entgegen. Neue Technologien versprechen eine höhere Effizienz und Effektivität des Controllings. Die Veränderungen umfassen dabei alle Aufgabenbereiche des Controllings – allerdings mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit und differenzierten Lösungsansätzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht drei Technologien, die im Controlling derzeit besonders stark diskutiert werden: Robotic Process Automation, Predictive Analytics und Künstliche Intelligenz. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsseminars an der Hochschule Ruhr West in Mülheim a.d.R. wurden dazu 57 Führungskräfte aus Controlling und Rechnungswesen befragt. Über 75% der befragten Unternehmen halten die Digitalisierung für wichtig, mehr als die Hälfte (52%) beabsichtigen, eine oder mehrere der drei untersuchten Technologien in den nächsten drei Jahren neu einzusetzen. In den Aufgabenbereichen ist bislang vor allem das Reporting digital unterstützt, in der Strategischen Planung und im Risikomanagement ist dagegen die Digitalisierung gering. Wesentliche Hindernisse sehen die Befragten im fehlenden Know-How und mangelnder Veränderungsbereitschaft.
Open Educational Resources (OER) intend to support access to education for everyone. However, this potential is not fully exploited due to various barriers in the production, distribution and the use of OER. In this paper, we present requirements and recommendations for systems for global OER authoring. These requirements as well as the system itself aim at helping creators of OER to overcome typical obstacles such as lack of technical skills, different types of devices and systems as well as the cultural differences in cross-border-collaboration. The system can be used collaboratively to create OER and supports multi-languages for localization. Our paper contributes to facilitate global, collaborative e-Learning and design of authoring platforms by identifying key requirements for OER authoring in a global context.
DamokleS 4.0
(2019)
Dieser interne Bericht beschreibt die Zielsetzung, Durchführung und Auswertung des Projektes Damokles 4.0. Das Projekt zielt darauf ab, neue, digitale Technologien in die Schwerindustrie einzuführen um Produktionsprozesse zu modernisieren. Unter Einsatz neuer Technologien, insbesondere mobiler Geräte, soll ein cyberphyiskalisches System (CPS) eine kontextbasierte und künstlich intelligente Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter in den Bereichen der Schwerindustrie ermöglichen. Hierzu werden typische Anwendungsfälle und die damit verbundenen Szenarien zur Unterstützung der Mitarbeiter auf Basis von neuen, flexiblen, adaptiven und mobilen Technologien, wie Augmented Reality und künstlicher Intelligenz, modelliert. Um den Prototypen einer AR-Anwendung und einer kamerabasierte Personenverfolgung zu entwickeln, hat die Hochschule Ruhr West im kleinen Technikum am Campus Bottrop eine entsprechende industrielle Umgebung simuliert. Die Projektergebnisse zeigen die Anwendbarkeit der vorgeschlagenen Softwareansätze und die Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung der psychologischen Einflüsse auf die Mitarbeiter.
Digital transformation is a process of digitizing the working and living environment in which people are at the center of digitization. In this paper, we present a personas-based guideline for system developers on how the humanization of digital transformation integrates into the design process. The proposed guideline uses the positive personas from the beginning as a basis for the transformation of the working environment into the digital form. We used the literature research as a preliminary study for the process of wellbeing-driven digital transformation design, consisting of questions for structuring the required information in the positive personas as well as a potential method that could be integrated into the wellbeing-based design process.
Why Should the Q-method Be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study
(2019)
The Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of the Q-methodology can be used to support each main research stage of DSR processes and can serve as the useful tool to evaluate a system in the IS topic of system analysis and design
The virtual classroom continues to grow, but it is becoming more and more the norm, and it is fundamentally different from the vocational students at the Indonesian university. With the promised benefits of the virtual classroom, many challenges and difficulties come in the implementation. Although there are already successful design principles for virtual classrooms that support organizations in overcoming the challenges, the approach to implementing the design principles of virtual classroom at the vocational higher education in Indonesia is still lacking. In this study, we aim to answer the research gap and used the design sciences research by interviewing the lecturers to design the solutions. The proposed design approaches were implemented in a course and evaluated with students from two different groups. Overall, the evaluation of the proposed approaches shows1 significant results as an indicator of the benefits of the implementation of a virtual classroom for vocational students in Indonesia.
