Digital technology is increasingly becoming a part of life and culture in society, and it must be consciously designed for the long-term benefit of humanity. Today, information systems are designed to do more than fulfill human duties or complete tasks. A widely adopted approach is a system design that focuses on the positive aspects of human-technology interaction. Positive computing is a design paradigm gaining traction because it emphasizes the importance of well-being as a bold goal to be implemented in system design. In this dissertation, technology design is part of an intergenerational environment aiming to facilitate information sharing regarding global startup innovation. Nevertheless, much of the research focuses on how technology can be used to facilitate intergenerational collaboration. On the other hand, very little is known about how technology can be "positively" designed to promote intergenerational innovation. Therefore, this dissertation applied Design Science Research (DSR) to inform and guide the creation of design principles through the lens of positive computing. The study results provide a holistic picture of the numerous barriers, well-being factors, competing concerns, and competencies that have been encountered in the context of intergenerational innovation and their implications. This dissertation is presented as a cumulative dissertation, answering three research questions divided into seven studies, consisting of nine articles.
In this study, we looked at the competencies and changes in the competency spectrum required for global start-ups in the digital age. Specifically, we explored intergenerational collaboration as an intervention in which experienced business-people from senior adult groups support young entrepreneurs. We conducted a Delphi study with 20 experts from different disciplines, considering the study context. The results of this study shed light on understanding the necessary competencies of entrepreneurs for intergenerationally supported start-up innovation by providing 27 competencies categorized as follows: intergenerational safety facilitation, cultural awareness, virtues for growth, effectual creativity, technical expertise, responsive teamwork, values-based organization, and sustainable network development. In addition, the study results also reveal the competency priorities and the minimum requirements for each competency group based on the global innovation process and can be used to develop a readiness assessment for start-up entrepreneurs.
This study aims to determine the competing concerns of people interested in startup development and entrepreneurship by using topic modeling and sentiment analysis on a social question-and-answer (SQA) website. Understanding the underlying concerns of startup entrepreneurs is critical to society and economic growth. Therefore, greater scientific support for entrepreneurship remains necessary, including data mining from virtual social communities. In this study, an SQA platform was used to identify the sentiment of thirty concerns of people interested in startup entrepreneurship. Based on topic modeling and sentiment analysis of 18819 inquiries in various forums on an SQA, we identified additional questions about founder figures, keys to success, and the location of a startup. In addition, we found that general questions were rated more positively, especially when it came to pitching, finding good sources, disruptive innovation, idea generation, and marketing advice. On average, the identified concerns were considered 48.9 percent positive, 41 percent neutral, and 10.1 percent negative. This research establishes a critical foundation for future research and development of digital startups by outlining a variety of different concerns associated with startup development in the digital age.
This study proposes a framework for the collaborative development of global start-up innovators in a multigenerational digital environment. Intergenerational collaboration has been identified as a strategy to support entrepreneurs during their formative years. However, integrating and fostering intergenerational collaboration remains elusive. Therefore, this study aims to identify competencies for successful global start- ups through intergenerational knowledge transfer. We used a systematic literature review to identify a competency set consisting of growth virtues, effectual creativity, technical domain, responsive teamwork, values-based organization, sustainable networking, cultural awareness, and facilitating intergenerational safety. The competency framework serves as a foundation for knowledge management research on the global innovation readiness of people to collaborate across generations in the digital age.
So far, researchers have used a wellbeing-centered approach to catalyze successful intergenerational collaboration (IGC) in innovative activities. However, due to the subject’s multidisciplinary nature, there is still a dearth of comprehensive research devoted to constructing the IGC system. Thus, the purpose of this study is to fill a research void by providing a conceptual framework for information technology (IT) system designers to use as a jumping-off point for designing an IGC system with a wellbeing-oriented design. A systematic literature study was conducted to identify relevant terms and develop a conceptual framework based on a review of 75 selected scientific papers. The result consists of prominent thematic linkages and a conceptual framework related to design technology for IGC systems. The conceptual framework provides a comprehensive overview of IGC systems in the innovation process by identifying five barrier dimensions and using six wellbeing determinants as IGC catalysts. Moreover, this study discusses future directions for research on IGC systems. This study offers a novel contribution by shifting the technology design process from an age-based design approach to wellbeing-driven IGC systems. Additional avenues for investigation were revealed through the analysis of the study’s findings.

Public transportation will become highly automated in the future, and at some point, human drivers are no longer necessary. Today many people are skeptical about such scenarios of autonomous public transport (abbr.: APT). In this paper, we assess users’ subjective priority of different factors that lead to personal acceptance or rejection of APT using an adapted online version of the Q-Methodology with 44 participants. We found four prototypical attitudes to which subgroups of participants relate: 1) technical enthusiasts, 2) social skeptics, 3) service-oriented non-enthusiasts, and 4) technology-oriented non-enthusiasts. We provide an unconventional perspective on APT acceptance that helps practitioners prioritize design requirements and communicate, targeting users’ specific attitudes.
Die Möglichkeiten der Wissensvermittlung über eingebettete Systeme haben sich durch das erforderliche distance learning stark verändert. Die bekannten didaktischen Konzepte, welche bis dahin angewandt wurden, werden durch den Wegfall von Präsenz-Praktika und den fehlenden Zugang zu einem IoT- Labor ausgehebelt.
Diese Master-Thesis beschäftigt sich daher mit der Idee, wie eine Überholung des Eingebettete Systeme-Moduls an der Hochschule Ruhr West sowohl die Modulziele weiter erfüllen kann als auch darüber hinaus einen Mehrwert erschaffen wird. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird untersucht wie durch die Einführung eines Remote-Labs in Kombination mit einer kollaborativen Entwicklungssoftware für Lerngruppen, Anreize für die Studierenden geschaffen werden können, die ihnen praxisnäheres und fundiertes Wissen in der Entwicklung eingebetteter Systeme vermitteln.
Dieses neue Vorgehen verwendet einen Peer-Group-Code-Bearbeitung- Ansatz in Echtzeit und Peer-to-Peer-Videokonferenzen und verteilt über den MQTT-Server die Interaktion der Hardwareentwicklung als integralen Bestandteil eines Kurskonzepts. Ziel ist es, die Motivation und die Lernleistung der Schüler zu verbessern.
Das Vorgehen wird anhand begleitender Umfragen während des Moduls weiterentwickelt und die Semesterergebnisse werden unter Zuhilfenahme von Bewertungskriterien mit denen vergangener Jahre verglichen. Darüber hinaus wird das neue Kurskonzept durch eine Expertenbefragung in Form von Studierenden evaluiert, welche den Kurs in seiner alten Form durchlaufen haben.
Rapid digital transformation is taking place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing organisations and higher educational institutions to change their working and learning culture. This study explores the challenges of rapid digital transformation arising during the pandemic in the higher education context. This research used the Q-methodology to understand the nine challenges that higher education encountered, perceived differently as four main patterns: (1) Digital-nomad enterprise; (2) Corporate-collectivism; (3) Well-being-oriented; and (4) Pluralistic. This study broadens the current understanding of digital transformation, especially in higher education. The nine challenges and four patterns of transformation actors serve as a starting point for organisations in supporting technological choice and strategic interventions, based on individual, group, and organisational behavioural levels. Moreover, five propositions, based on the competing concerns of these challenges, establish a framework for comprehending the ecosystem that enables rapid digital transformation. Strategies, prerequisites, and key factors during the (digital) technology development process benefit the cyber-society ecosystem. As a practical contribution, Q-methodology was used to investigate perspectives on digitalisation challenges during the pandemic.
Blended learning offers learning solutions for higher educational institutions facing the industrial revolution 4.0. In this study, we investigated the influence factors student perceptions of blended learning based on gender-specific differences in Indonesia. We applied a research model to systematically assess the effect of design features on the effectiveness of blended learning indicators (intrinsic motivation and student satisfaction). Moreover, we evaluated the research model for both genders separately. Based on the quantitative survey of 223 Indonesian students, our study confirms that the design features significantly influence the effectiveness of blended learning for male and female students.
