Dieses Zitat dürfte auch für einen Physiker wie Wulf Fischer von Wichtigkeit sein, zeigt es doch, wie physikalische Grundlagen der Digitalisierung und dadurch angestoßene technologische Veränderungen die Ökonomie des 21. Jahrhunderts zu prägen vermögen. Die Analyse der Grundlagen der digitalen Wirtschaft ist gerade an einer Fachhochschule, die sich auch unterstützt durch ihren Gründungsrektor neuen Entwicklungen anwendungsnah öffnet, ein interessantes Forschungsgebiet. Viele der nachfolgenden Aussagen sind denn auch in einem Forschungssemester des Autors entstanden und haben zur Umwidmung der Professur unter dem Zusatz der "Innovationsökonomie" geführt. Auch dies ist im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes Beleg für eine innovationsfreudige und relativ "junge" Fachhochschule.

Nachhaltige und zukunftsfähige Mobilität in Städten kann langfristig nur durch die aktive Partizipation ihrer Bürger und Institutionen erreicht werden. Betriebliches Mobilitätsmanagement (BMM) kann dabei einen positiven Beitrag im Hinblick auf Umwelt, Gesundheit und Kosten leisten. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Wahrnehmung gesundheitlicher und finanzieller Wertschöpfungsaspekte des BMM. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojekts Betriebe lösen Verkehrsprobleme werden Mobilitätsverhalten und Maßnahmen der Betrieblichen Gesundheitsförderung (BFG) in Bonner Betrieben untersucht. Folgenden Aspekten wird besondere Beachtung geschenkt: Bedeutung Betrieblicher Gesundheitsförderung in Bonner Betrieben, Mobilitätsverhalten von Arbeitnehmern auf dem Weg zur Dienststelle, Wahrnehmung eines unmittelbaren Zusammenhangs zwischen körperlicher Aktivität und Gesundheit bzw. krankheitsbedingter Kosten und Umsatzeinbußen durch Bewegungsmangel. Die Analyse resultiert auf der Basis einer schriftlichen Befragung von 178 Unternehmen, einer Online-Umfrage von 1.341 Mitarbeitern aus 14 Unternehmen sowie auf persönlichen Interviews mit 22 Betriebsleitern bzw. Mobilitäts- und Gesundheitsbeauftragten. Die Ergebnisse der Studie machen sowohl Handlungsbedarf als auch Optimierungspotentiale im Bereich BMM auf Betriebsseite deutlich. Kostensimulationen zeigen darüber hinaus auf, dass durch die Implementierung von BGF-Maßnahmen, explizit der Förderung von Bewegung, auf betriebs- und volkswirtschaftlicher Seite beachtliche Kosten im Gesundheitsbereich eingespart sowie höhere Gewinne im Unternehmen erzielt werden können.
Kundenloyalität stellt als langfristig wirkende Metrik eine erstrebenswerte Erfolgsgröße vieler Unternehmen dar. Im Rahmen einer Strukturgleichungsmodellierung wurden die Beziehungen und Auswirkungen der wahrgenommenen Kundenzentrierung, des Markenvertrauens (kognitiv und affektiv) und der Preis-Wahrnehmung auf die Kundenloyalität (Wiederkaufintention und Empfehlungsbereitschaft) bei physischen high-Involvement-Produkten untersucht.

Das Thema E-Business ist seit einiger Zeit von den Titelseiten der IT Fachzeitschriften fast verschwunden. Dies nicht etwa, weil E-Business nicht mehr aktuell ist, sondern weil es einfach zum Tagesgeschäft gehört und viele Geschäftsprozesse ohne „E-Anwendungen“ nicht mehr denkbar sind. Doch welche Instrumente soll ein Unternehmen einsetzen? Die Anzahl der Möglichkeiten ist groß. Die Klärung dieser Frage hat sich Alexander Schaer zur Aufgabe gesetzt. Zentraler Gegenstand der in diesem Buch veröffentlichen Abschlussarbeit ist die Entwicklung eines Methodenframeworks für einen E-Business-Selbsttest sowie dessen prototypische Implementierung. Ein Buch für IT-Spezialisten, IT-Führungskräfte und alle am Thema Interessierten.
In January 2015, German trade and industry announced to support the national animal welfare initiative "Initiative Tierwohl" (ITW) which stands for a more sustainable and animal-friendly meat production. A web content analysis shows that the ITW initiative has been widely picked up and discussed by online media and that user comments are quite heterogeneous. The current study identifies different types of consumers through factor and cluster analysis and is based on an online survey as well as face-to-face interviews. According to our results, the identified consumer groups demonstrate a rather passive comment behaviour on the internet. In fact, the internet was hardly mentioned as an information source for meat production; consumers more frequently referred to brochures, leaflets and personal contacts with sales personnel.
The transport sector is a major source of air pollution and thus a major contributor to the changing climate. As a result, in the recent past, driving bans have been imposed on cars with critical pollutant groups. As an international UN campus and self-proclaimed climate capital, the Federal City of Bonn declared a climate emergency in 2019 and participated in a federally funded “Lead City” project to optimise air quality. A key goal of the project is to reduce private motorised transport and strengthen public transport. Among the implemented measures, a “climate ticket” was introduced in 2019 whereby consumers could purchase an annual 365 € ticket for all local public transport. This paper reports on an analysis of that ticket’s changes in travel behavior.
A quantitative survey (n = 1,315) of the climate ticket users as well as the multiple regressions confirm that the climate ticket attracted more customers to the buses and trams and that a modal shift for the period of the measure was recognisable. The multiple regressions showed that the ticket was perceived significantly more positively by full-time employed users than by unemployed people. The results also show that, in addition to the price, it is essential that travel time and reliability are ensured. Furthermore, the eligible groups of people, the area of coverage, and good connecting services should be extended. To sustainably improve air quality, this type of mobility service must be optimised and introduced on a permanent basis.
Personal-Information-Management-Systeme (PIMS) gelten als Chance, um die Datensouveränität der Verbraucher zu stärken. Datenschutzbezogene Fragen sind für Verbraucher immer dort relevant, wo sie Verträge und Nutzungsbedingungen mit Diensteanbietern eingehen. Vor diesem Hintergrund diskutiert dieser Beitrag die Potenziale von VRM-Systemen, die nicht nur das Datenmanagement, sondern das gesamte Vertragsmanagement von Verbrauchern unterstützen. Dabei gehen wir der Frage nach, ob diese besser geeignet sind, um Verbraucher zu souveränem Handeln zu befähigen.
Konsument:innen scheint die Lust vergangen zu sein, individuellen Kleidungsstil auszudrücken, da der Onlinehandel zur Steigerung von Auswahlmöglichkeiten geführt hat. Dies mündet unter anderem in der Nutzung virtueller Stilberatungen. Diese Dienste dienen dazu, Kund:innen möglichst effizient, individuell und authentisch „zu machen“, und sind somit als paradoxaler Demokratisierungsprozess zu verstehen. Eine Erklärung für den Erfolg dieser Dienstleistungen soll mit Reckwitz’ Singularisierungsthese gestützt werden.

Bisherige Versuche der HCI-Community die Lebensmittelverschwendung oder den CO2-Fußabdruck zu reduzieren, basierten meist auf Persuasive Design Ansätzen. Diese werden jedoch kritisiert, die Alltagswelten und Konsumpraktiken für eine Langzeitwirkung nur unzureichend zu berücksichtigen. Das Problem aufgreifend, untersucht dieser Beitrag die Rolle (digitaler) Medien im Übergang zu einer veganen Ernährungspraktik. Hierfür wurden semi-strukturierte Interviews mit 9 VeganerInnen geführt und vor dem Hintergrund der Praxistheorie analysiert. Die Ergebnisse deuten dabei auf eine intensive Nutzung (digitaler) Medien, insbesondere in der frühen Phase der Änderung der Konsumpraktik. Statt Gamification oder Persuasive Design, zeigt sich Mediennutzung in Form von Irritation, Informationsbereitstellung zur Ausbildung eines vegan-spezifischen Konsumwissens sowie als Vermittler zwischen Gleichgesinnten.
The megatrends towards both a digital and a usership economy have changed entire markets in the past and will continue to do so over the next decades. In this work, we outline what this change means for possible futures of the mobility sector, taking the combination of trends in both economies into account. Using a sys-tematic, scenario-based trend analysis, we draft four general future scenarios and adapt the two most relevant scenarios to the automotive sector. Our findings show that combing the trends from both economies provides new insights that have often been neglected in literature because of an isolated view on digital technology only. However, service concepts such as self-driving car sharing or self-driving taxis have a great impact at various levels including microeconomic (e.g., service and product design, business models) and macroeconomic (e.g., with regard to ecological, economical, and social impacts). We give a brief outline of these issues and show which business mo dels could be successful in the most likely future scenarios, before we frame strategic implications for today’s automobile manufacturers.
The alternative use of travel time is one of the widely discussed benefits of driverless cars. We therefore conducted 14 co-design sessions to examine how people manage their time, to determine how they perceive the value of time in driverless cars and to derive design implications. Our findings suggest that driverless mobility will affect both people’s use of travel time as well as their time management in general. The participants repeatedly stated the desire of completing tasks while traveling to save time for activities that are normally neglected in their everyday life. Using travel time efficiently requires using car space efficiently, too. We found out that the design concept of tiny houses could serve as common design pattern to deal with the limited space within cars and support diverse needs.
Trust is the lubricant of the sharing economy, especially in peer-to-peer carsharing where you leave a valuable good to a stranger in the hope of getting it backunscathed. Central mechanisms for handling this information gap nowadays are ratings and reviews of other users. The rising of connected car technology opens new possibilities to increase trust by collecting and providing e.g. driving behavior data. At the same time, this means an intrusion into the privacy of the user. Therefore, in this work we explore technological approaches that allow building trust without violating the privacy of individuals. We evaluate to what extent blockchain technology and smart contracts are suitable technologies to meet these challengesby setting upa prototype implementation of a block-chain-based carsharing approach. In this context, we present our research approachand evaluate the prototype in terms of trust and privacy.
The development of fully automated vehicles is becoming more and more present in the social discussion. The image of fully automated cars is determined by automobile manufacturers and placed in the context of individual traffic. In contrast to fully autonomous private cars, fully automated public transport is already operating in some cities and is to be expanded in the future. Autonomous public transport offers great potential for the development and promotion of sustainable mobility concepts. However, the user acceptance is important for the enforcement and widespread use of these technical innovations. An online study on the acceptance of fully automated public transport based on quantitative data of a sample of N = 201 is presented. The results show a high level of familiarity with the topic and a very high level of overall intention to use fully automated public transport in the future.
Innovations in the mobility industry such as automated and connected cars could significantly reduce congestion and emissions by allowing the traffic to flow more freely and reducing the number of vehicles according to some researchers. However, the effectiveness of these sustainable product and service innovations is often limited by unexpected changes in consumption: some researchers thus hypothesize that the higher comfort and improved quality of time in driverless cars could lead to an increase in demand for driving with autonomous vehicles. So far, there is a lack of empirical evidence supporting either one or other of these hypotheses. To analyze the influence of autonomous driving on mobility behavior and to uncover user preferences, which serve as indicators for future travel mode choices, we conducted an online survey with a paired comparison of current and future travel modes with 302 participants in Germany. The results do not confirm the hypothesis that ownership will become an outdated model in the future. Instead they suggest that private cars, whether conventional or fully automated, will remain the preferred travel mode. At the same time, carsharing will benefit from full automation more than private cars. However, the findings indicate that the growth of carsharing will mainly be at the expense of public transport, showing that more emphasis should be placed in making public transport more attractive if sustainable mobility is to be developed.
Trust-Building in Peer-to-Peer Carsharing: Design Case Study for Algorithm-Based Reputation Systems
(2023)
Peer-to-peer sharing platforms become increasingly important in the platform economy. From an HCI-perspective, this development is of high interest, as those platforms mediate between different users. Such mediation entails dealing with various social issues, e.g., building trust between peers online without any physical presence. Peer ratings have proven to be an important mechanism in this regard. At the same time, scoring via car telematics become more common for risk assessment by car insurances. Since user ratings face crucial problems such as fake or biased ratings, we conducted a design case study to determine whether algorithm-based scoring has the potential to improve trust-building in P2P-carsharing. We started with 16 problem-centered interviews to examine how people understand algorithm-based scoring, we co-designed an app with scored profiles, and finally evaluated it with 12 participants. Our findings show that scoring systems can support trust-building in P2P-carsharing and give insights how they should be designed.
Trust is the lubricant of the sharing economy. This is true especially in peer-to-peer carsharing, in which one leaves a highly valuable good to a stranger in the hope of getting it back unscathed. Nowadays, ratings of other users are major mechanisms for establishing trust. To foster uptake of peer-to-peer carsharing, connected car technology opens new possibilities to support trust-building, e.g., by adding driving behavior statistics to users' profiles. However, collecting such data intrudes into rentees' privacy. To explore the tension between the need for trust and privacy demands, we conducted three focus group and eight individual interviews. Our results show that connected car technologies can increase trust for car owners and rentees not only before but also during and after rentals. The design of such systems must allow a differentiation between information in terms of type, the context, and the negotiability of information disclosure.
Digitisation has brought a major upheaval to the mobility sector, and in the future, self-driving cars will probably be one of the transport modes. This study extends transport and user acceptance research by analysing in greater depth how the new modes of autonomous private cars, autonomous carsharing and autonomous taxis fit into the existing traffic mix from today's perspective. It focuses on accounting for relative added value. For this purpose, user preference theory was used as a base for an online survey (n=172) on the relative added value of the new autonomous traffic modes. Results show that users see advantages in the autonomous modes for driving comfort and time utilization whereas, in comparison to conventional cars, in many other areas – especially in terms of driving pleasure and control – they see no advantages or even relative disadvantages. Compared to public transport, the autonomous modes offer added values in almost all characteristics. This analysis at the partwor th level provides a more detailed explanation for user acceptance of automated driving.
