The purpose of this paper is to propose a theory-based knowledgedynamics model in the smart grid scenario that would provide a holistic view on the knowledge-based interactions among smart objects, humans, and other actors as an underlyingmechanism of value co-creation in Industry 4.0. A multi-loop and three-layer - physical, virtual, and interface - model of knowledge dynamics is developedby building on the concept of ba - an enabling space for interactions and theemergence of knowledge. The model depicts how big data analytics are just one component inunlocking the value of big data, whereas the tacit engagement of humans-in-the-loop - theirsense-making and decision-making - is needed for insights to be evoked fromanalytics reports and customer needs to be met.}, language = {en} } @article{UllrichVladovaMarquartetal.2022, author = {Ullrich, Andr{\´e} and Vladova, Gergana and Marquart, Danny and Braun, Andreas and Gronau, Norbert}, title = {An overwiew of benefits and risks in open innovation projects and the influence of intermediary participation, decision-making authority, experience, and position on their perception}, series = {International journal of innovation management : IJIM}, volume = {26}, journal = {International journal of innovation management : IJIM}, number = {02}, publisher = {World Scientific Publ.}, address = {Singapore}, issn = {1363-9196}, doi = {10.1142/S1363919622500128}, pages = {41}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This paper presents an exploratory study investigating the influence of the factors (1) intermediary participation, (2) decision-making authority, (3) position in the enterprise, and (4) experience in open innovation on the perception and assessment of the benefits and risks expected from participating in open innovation projects. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The result of this paper is an empirical evidence showing whether and how these factors affect the perception of potential benefits and risks expected within the context of open innovation project participation. Furthermore, the identified effects are discussed against the theory. Existing theory regarding the benefits and risks of open innovation is expanded by (1) finding that they are perceived mostly independently of the factors, (2) confirming the practical relevance of benefits and risks, and (3) enabling a finer distinction between their degrees of relevance according to respective contextual specifics.}, language = {en} } @misc{UllrichVladovaEigelshovenetal.2022, author = {Ullrich, Andr{\´e} and Vladova, Gergana and Eigelshoven, Felix and Renz, Andr{\´e}}, title = {Data mining of scientific research on artificial intelligence in teaching and administration in higher education institutions}, series = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {160}, issn = {1867-5808}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-58907}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-589077}, pages = {18}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Teaching and learning as well as administrative processes are still experiencing intensive changes with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and its diverse application opportunities in the context of higher education.
