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.
Uncertainty about the future requires companies to create discontinuous innovations. Established companies, however, struggle to do so; whereas independent startups seem to better cope with this. Consequently, established companies set up entrepreneurial initiatives to make use of startups' benefits. Consequently, this led-amongst others-to great interest in socalled corporate entrepreneurship (CE) programs and to the development and characterization of several different forms. Their processes to achieve certain objectives, yet, are still rather ineffective. Thus, considerations of the actions performed in preparation for and during CE programs could be one approach to improve this but are still absent today. Furthermore, the increasing use of several CE programs in parallel seems to bear the potential for synergies and, thus, more efficient use of resources. Aiming to provide insights to both issues, this study analyzes actions of CE programs, by looking at interviews with managers of seven corporate incubators and accelerator programs of five established German tech-companies.
In today's volatile world, established companies must be capable of optimizing their core business with incremental innovations while simultaneously developing discontinuous innovations to maintain their long-term competitiveness. Balancing both is a major challenge for companies, since different types of innovation require different organizational structures, operational modes and management styles. Established companies tend to excel in improving their current business through incremental innovations which are closely related to their current knowledge base and competencies. However, this often goes hand in hand with challenges in the exploration of knowledge that is new to the company and that is essential for the development of discontinuous innovations. In this respect, the concept of corporate entrepreneurship is recognized as a way to strengthen the exploration of new knowledge and to support the development of discontinuous innovation. For managing corporate entrepreneurship more effectively, it is crucial to understand which types of knowledge can be created through corporate entrepreneurship and which organizational designs are more suited to gain certain types of knowledge. To answer these questions, this study analyzed 23 semi-structured interviews conducted with established companies that are running such entrepreneurial activities. The results show (1) that three general types of knowledge can be explored through corporate entrepreneurship and (2) that some organizational designs are more suited to explore certain knowledge types than others are.
1863 dichtet der Volksautor Wilhelm Busch die Geschichte von Max und Moritz, zweier Lausbuben, die gegen Regeln und Sitten der Dorfgemeinschaft verstoßen und das Zusammenleben empfindlich stören. Busch zeigt in seiner Dichtung schon in der Einleitung den Kern des Problems auf. „Ach, was muß man oft von bösen Kindern hören oder lesen! Wie zum Beispiel hier von diesen, Welche Max und Moritz hießen;
Die, anstatt durch weise Lehren Sich zum Guten zu bekehren, Oftmals noch darüber lachten Und sich heimlich lustig machten. Ja, zur Übeltätigkeit, Ja, dazu ist man bereit!“ Max und Moritz weigern sich, die Schule zu besuchen und sich regelkonform und anständig zu verhalten. Ihre Uneinsichtigkeit und ihre Rücksichtslosigkeit enden für die beiden tödlich, und erst mit diesem Ende kehrt wieder Ruhe im Dorf ein. Der Zusammenhang zwischen der bekannten Kindergeschichte „Max und Moritz“ von Wilhelm Busch und aktuellen Wirtschafts- und Unternehmensskandalen scheint vielleicht auf den ersten Blick etwas weit hergeholt. Als „modernes Märchen“ sprechen diese Geschichte und ihre Moral aber letztlich genau von dem, was Unternehmen heute weltweit zu schaffen macht. Ohne die bekannten Lausbubenstreiche mit Spielarten moderner Wirtschaftskriminalität gleichsetzen zu wollen, lässt sich aus den sieben Streichen für unser Thema folgendes ableiten:
– Regelwidriges Verhalten kann überall auftauchen
– Unter dem Fehlverhalten einzelner haben alle zu leiden
– Das Funktionieren des übergeordneten Systems wird nachhaltig gestört
– Und: klassische „Erziehungsversuche“ erweisen sich häufig als wirkungslos
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.
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.
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.
This paper proposes a novel transmission scheme for generalized multistream spatial modulation. This new approach uses one Mannheim error correcting codes over Gaussian or Eisenstein integers as multidimensional signal constellations. These codes enable a suboptimal decoding strategy with near maximum likelihood performance for transmission over the additive white Gaussian noise channel. In this contribution, this decoding algorithm is generalized to the detection for generalized multistream spatial modulation. The proposed method can outperform conventional generalized multistream spatial modulation with respect to decoding performance, detection complexity, and spectral efficiency.
