We provide an overview of the ongoing discussions on the objectives of the energy transition in the form of a conceptual framework, intending to facilitate the search for the most viable options for a successful transformation of the energy system. For this purpose, we examine the development of energy policy goals in Germany in the past and present, whereby we give an overview of objectives and assessment approaches from politics, economics, and science. Moreover, we then merge the different views into a common framework and analyze the central conflict between the wholeness of a hypothetical target circle and the simplification in favor of a hypothetical target point in more detail.
What drives entrepreneurial action to create a lasting impact? The creation of new ventures that aim at having an impact beyond their financial performance face additional challenges: achieving economic sustainability and at the same time addressing social or environmental issues. Little is known on how these new hybrid organizations, aiming for multiple impact dimensions, manage to be congruent with their blended values. A dataset of 4,125 early-stage ventures is used to gain insights into how blended values are converted into financial, social and environmental impacts, giving shape to different types of hybrid organizations. Our findings suggest new hybrid organizations might opt to sacrifice financial impact to achieve social impact, yet this is not the case when they aim to generate environmental or sustainable impact. Therefore, the tensions and sacrifices related to holding blended values are not homogeneous across all types of new hybrid organizations.
As organizations struggle to cope with digital transformation in
an innovation environment, partnerships between startups and established
companies have become increasingly important. Building upon years of
practical experience and empirical research, we present advantages,
obstacles, and the keys to successful corporate-startup collaboration.
40 Jahre Neuland des Denkens
(2020)
Vor 40 Jahren erschien Frederic Vesters Hauptwerk „Neuland des Denkens“. Der Beitrag beleuchtet die wesentlichen Themen dieses programmatischen Buches im Hinblick auf Vesters Biokybernetik und deren Anwendung auf zahlreiche aktuelle Fragen in der Nachhaltigkeits-Debatte, z.B. Klimawandel-Problematik und Energiewende.
Aufgrund der Corona-Pandemie kam es 2020 zu einer verstärkten Nutzung von Homeoffice und Teleworking. Sowohl bzgl. der Wahl des Arbeitsortes als auch der genutzen Kommunikationstechnologien existieren Pfadabhängigkeiten. Der Beitrag thematisiert diese Pfadabhängigkeiten systematisch, insbesondere ihre Ursachen und Folgen sowie die Möglichkeiten zur Pfadbrechung.
Evaluation of tech ventures’ evolving business models: rules for performance-related classification
(2022)
At the early stage of a successful tech venture's life cycle, it is assumed that the business model will evolve to higher quality over time. However, there are few empirical insights into business model evolution patterns for the performance-related classification of early-stage tech ventures. We created relevant variables evaluating the evolution of the venture-centric network and the technological proposition of both digital and non-digital ventures' business models using the text of submissions to the official business plan award in the German State of Baden-Württemberg between 2006 and 2012. Applying a principal component analysis/rough set theory mixed methodology, we explore performance-related business model classification rules in the heterogeneous sample of business plans. We find that ventures need to demonstrate real interactions with their customers' needs to survive. The distinguishing success rules are related to patent applications, risk capital, and scaling of the organisation. The rules help practitioners to classify business models in a way that allows them to prioritise action for performance.
