Die für den deutschen Glücks- und Gewinnspielmarkt derzeit geltenden rechtlichen und ordnungspolitischen Rahmenbedingungen führen dazu, dass sich der nicht-regulierte Markt deutlich zu Lasten des regulierten Marktes ausweitet, was negative volkswirtschaftliche und soziale Effekte zur Folge hat. Ziel der Politik sollte es sein, einen möglichst großen Teil des bis dato nicht-regulierten Marktes (Grau- und Schwarzmarkt) in einen geregelten Rahmen zu überführen.
This study advances the research and methodological approach to measuring and understanding national-level destination competitiveness, sustainability and governance, by creating a model that could be of use for both developing and developed destinations. The study gives a detailed overview of the research field of measuring destination competitiveness and sustainability. It also identifies major predictors of destination competitiveness and sustainability and thereby presents destination researchers and practitioners with a useful list of priority areas, both from a global perspective and from the perspective of other similar destinations. Finally, the study identifies two major types of destination governance with implications for research, policy and practice across the destination life-cycle. The research deals with the analysis of the secondary data from the World Economic Forum Travel and Tourism Index (WEF T&T). Major types of destination governance and predictors of belonging to either one of the types, as well as inside cluster predictors have been extracted through a two-step cluster analysis. The results support the notion that a meaningful model of national-level destination governance needs to take into account different development levels of different destinations. The main limitation of the study is its typology creation approach, as it inevitably leads to simplifications.
Developing the Circular Economy in Uganda: Prospects for Academia-Public-Private-Partnerships
(2021)
Issues: Circular economy is a production system that optimizes the reusability of by-products/waste as raw materials. As the global population threatens to reach 9 billion by 2050, consumption levels grow proportionally, raising food, material, and energy demands. In Uganda, soil nutrient depletion and energy poverty are key challenges faced by urban and rural communities. Rampart depletion of natural resources calls for transit from the linear economic models towards sustainable production/consumption technologies. This study investigated prospects for APPP to optimize the reusability of by-products/waste as raw materials. Approach: Quantitative and qualitative tools were used to collect data via document analysis, interviews, and participant observations. The tools were administered to municipal authorities, private waste-collecting agencies in cities and municipalities; officials in Ministries of energy and Agriculture; officials in universities research units and entrepreneurs that deal in agricultural and energy products; officials from civil society organizations. Findings: there are a number of sustainability projects being undertaken by Universities and High schools, Government agencies, companies, and civil society organization isolation. Singlehandedly, individual agencies lack the requisite capacity to develop closed-loop production/consumption models. Analysis of a few successful RRR projects suggests that APPP is positioned to promote CE. Transiting towards a circular economy requires joint ventures to optimize human, technological, and financial resources and develop policy and institutional frameworks. In Uganda, recycling biotic by-products can promote environmental sustainability; reduce stress on natural resources; enable cost savings; promote green entrepreneurship, and create jobs/livelihoods. Conclusion: working jointly, CE could be enhanced via technical and business models by the academia, private capital investment by companies, community engagement by CSOs, and development of supportive policy and institutional frameworks to facilitate decision-making processes. The APPPs are positioned to use interactive platforms for creating awareness and promote sensitization about green values through education and multimedia communication platforms.
Die Fachhochschulen Bonn-Rhein-Sieg und RheinAhrCampus als Instrumente im regionalen Strukturwandel
(2004)
The Bonn region had to undergo a serious structural change because of the loss of its function as the capital of Germany. In this empirical study the role of the two newly founded universities for applied sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg and RheinAhrCampus in the process of regional structural change is examined. What was and still is their contribution to innovative regional development? The special focus of this study is on the number of students and graduates, the transfer of knowledge and technology and the spin-offs and start-ups.

Da sich die Qualität vieler Dienstleistungen nur schwer beurteilen lässt, ist sie oft nur durchschnittlich. Im Extremfall kann das dazu führen, dass keine hochwertigen Dienstleistungen mehr angeboten werden. Staatliche Markteingriffe wie Preisfestsetzungen führen nicht zwangsläufig zu guter Qualität. Wie lässt sich die Qualität von Dienstleistungen sicherstellen? Wird sie von den Nachfragern überhaupt honoriert? Ist Qualität stets mit höheren Kosten verbunden?

Digitale Güter
(2020)
Bei der Wertschöpfung in den entwickelten Volkswirtschaften spielen digitale Güter eine wichtige Rolle. Sie haben Eigenschaften, die oft unter dem Stichwort „Marktversagen“ diskutiert werden. Ungeachtet davon gibt es viele Unternehmen wie Microsoft, Apple, Google oder Ebay, die beachtliche Markterfolge erzielen, da sie die Besonderheiten ihrer digitalen Güter in geeignete Marktstrategien umsetzen. Einige Grundregeln der ökonomischen Theorie, die bei materiellen Gütern zum Marktversagen führen, gelten nicht für digitale Güter.

Do socio-economic factors impede the engagement in online banking transactions? Evidence from Ghana
(2020)
Researchers have long pondered on the online banking transaction adoption. Some of these studies focus primarily on the motivating factors that affect customers’ intention to adopt/accept these services (technologies). However, research into the constraining factors, in particular socio-economic factors, barely exist in the literature, especially in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. Against this background, the paper seeks to fill in this gap by: (1) assessing the socio-economic factors impeding the engagement of e-banking transactions among retail bank customers in Ghana, and (2) examining the moderating effect of ‘customer experience of Internet’ on the identified factors that inhibit the engagement in online banking in Ghana. The paper used a quantitative research approach to obtain data from two leading Ghanaian banks. Out of the 450 questionnaires distributed, 393 were valid for analysis. Data were analyzed with the aid of PLS-SEM (partial least squares and structural equation modeling). Findings revealed that perceived knowledge gap and the price of digital devices were directly important to the intention to disembark on e-banking transactions among Ghanaian bank customers. Whilst customer experience (frequent use of the Internet), as a moderator variable, has a significant effect on the interaction between perceived knowledge gap and the intent to disembark on e-banking transactions; and finance charges and the intent to disembark on e-banking transactions. Study implications and directions for future research are discussed in the paper.
Green IT is one of the most recent buzzwords in the IT business. Often it is considered as the key to all future IT problems by one half of IT experts and as an overestimated hype by the other half. Green IT aims to integrate information and communication technologies into a business wide sustainability strategy without any productivity drawbacks. It includes measures and tactics to reduce the IT's environmental impact e.g. by reducing the power consumption and using energy from renewable sources, and by using technologies such as virtualisation.
A school leader’s achievement is not what they study in learning institutions but the way they organize themselves into problem solving and realistic decision making. While this includes some taught hard skills, the bulk of school activities rely on soft skills. Soft skills, however, are frequently neglected, although they play an important role in school principals’ daily operations as an instructional supervisor. This study aimed to examine the relationship between soft skills training and Principals' performance. The study adopted a cross-sectional mixed survey design. Using Yamane formulae, the sample comprised of 167 principals from 286 public secondary schools in Kiambu County. These were spread proportionally across all the 12 sub-counties in the County. The principal research instrument was primarily a questionnaire. The reliability of the instrument using the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was deemed reasonable at.73. The findings showed that a substantial relationship exists between the training of the principal on soft skills and their good performance of the duties. The study suggests routine in-service training should be undertaken in the county to improve the development of soft skills. It is also advisable that undergraduate, postgraduate, or in-service training include soft skills as a unit, to build knowledge of the value of soft skills.
Die vorliegende wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie, die vom Forschungsinstitut für Glücksspiel und Wetten am BusinessCampus der Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg im Auftrag der Deutschen Automatenindustrie erstellt wurde, setzt sich kritisch-methodisch mit den bestehenden Annahmen über die sozialen Folgekosten von Spielsucht in Bezug auf gewerbliche Spielautomaten in Gastbetrieben und Spielhallen auseinander. Sie kommt hierbei zu neuen, fundierten Bewertungen, insbesondere im Vergleich mit Risiken bei Spielbanken und Lotterien. In einer Kosten-Nutzen-Bilanz überwiegen die Nutzenaspekte des gewerblichen Geld-Gewinnspiels die Kosten um ein Mehrfaches.
Reducing energy consumption is one of the most pursued economic and ecologic challenges concerning societies as a whole, individuals and organizations alike. While politics start taking measures for energy turnaround and smart home energy monitors are becoming popular, few studies have touched on sustainability in office environments so far, though they account for almost every second workplace in modern economics. In this paper, we present findings of two parallel studies in an organizational context using behavioral change oriented strategies to raise energy awareness. Next to demonstrating potentials, it shows that energy feedback needs must fit to the local organizational context to succeed and should consider typical work patterns to foster accountability of consumption.
