Work processes, services, or products must be sensibly adapted to changing times. To be able to analyze and, if necessary, adapt creativity in work processes, a precise understanding of these creative activities is necessary. Process modeling techniques are often used to capture business processes, represent them graphically and analyze them for adaptation possibilities. This has been very limited for creative work. An accurate understanding of creative work is subject to the challenge that, on the one hand, it is usually very complex and iterative. On the other hand, it is at least partially unpredictable as new things emerge. How can the complexity of creative business processes be adequately addressed and simultaneously manageable? This dissertation attempts to answer this question by first developing a precise process understanding of creative work. In an interdisciplinary approach, the literature on the process description of creativity-intensive work is analyzed from the perspective of psychology, organizational studies, and business informatics. In addition, a digital ethnographic study in the context of software development is used to analyze creative work. A model is developed based on which four elementary process components can be analyzed: Intention of the creative activity, Creation to develop the new, Evaluation to assess its meaningfulness, and Planning of the activities arising in the process – in short, the ICEP model. These four process elements are then translated into the Knockledge Modeling Description Language (KMDL), which was developed to capture and represent knowledge-intensive business processes. The modeling extension based on the ICEP model enables creative business processes to be identified and specified without the need for extensive modeling of all process details. The modeling extension proposed here was developed using ethnographic data and then applied to other organizational process contexts. The modeling method was applied to other business contexts and evaluated by external parties as part of two expert studies. The developed ICEP model provides an analytical framework for complex creative work processes. It can be comprehensively integrated into process models by transforming it into a modeling method, thus expanding the understanding of existing creative work in as-is process analyses. N2 - Kreativität – etwas Neues und Nützliches zu entwickeln – ist eine ständige Herausforderung in der Arbeitswelt. Arbeitsabläufe, Dienstleistungen oder Produkte müssen sinnvoll an den Wandel der Zeit angepasst werden. Um die Kreativität in Arbeitsprozessen analysieren und gegebenenfalls anpassen zu können, ist ein genaues Verständnis dieser kreativen Aktivitäten notwendig. Prozessmodellierungstechniken werden häufig eingesetzt, um Geschäftsprozesse zu erfassen, grafisch darzustellen und auf Anpassungsmöglichkeiten zu analysieren. Dies ist für kreative Arbeit nur sehr begrenzt möglich. Ein genaues Verständnis der kreativen Arbeit unterliegt der Herausforderung, dass sie zum einen in der Regel sehr komplex und iterativ ist. Andererseits ist sie zumindest teilweise unvorhersehbar, da immer wieder Neues entsteht. Wie lässt sich die Komplexität kreativer Geschäftsprozesse adäquat adressieren und gleichzeitig handhabbar machen? Diese Dissertation versucht, diese Frage zu beantworten, indem sie zunächst ein präzises Prozessverständnis kreativer Arbeit entwickelt. In einem interdisziplinären Ansatz wird die Literatur zur Prozessbeschreibung kreativitätsintensiver Arbeit aus der Perspektive der Psychologie, der Organisationswissenschaft und der Wirtschaftsinformatik analysiert. Darüber hinaus wird eine digital-ethnographische Studie im Kontext der Softwareentwicklung zur Analyse kreativer Arbeit herangezogen. Es wird ein Modell entwickelt, auf dessen Basis vier elementare Prozesskomponenten identifiziert werden können: Intention der kreativen Tätigkeit, Creation zur Entwicklung des Neuen, Evaluation zur Beurteilung der Sinnhaftigkeit und Planung der im Prozess anfallenden Aktivitäten - kurz: das ICEP-Modell. Diese vier Prozesselemente werden dann in die Knockledge Modeling Description Language (KMDL) überführt, die zur Erfassung und Darstellung wissensintensiver Geschäftsprozesse entwickelt wurde. Die Modellierungserweiterung auf der Grundlage des ICEP-Modells ermöglicht es, kreative Geschäftsprozesse zu identifizieren und zu spezifizieren, ohne dass eine umfangreiche Modellierung aller Prozessdetails erforderlich ist. Die hier vorgeschlagene Modellierungserweiterung wurde anhand ethnographischer Daten entwickelt und anschließend auf andere organisatorische Prozesskontexte angewendet und im Rahmen von zwei Expertenstudien von Modellierern evaluiert. Das entwickelte ICEP-Modell bietet einen analytischen Rahmen für komplexe kreative Arbeitsprozesse. Es kann durch die Umwandlung in eine Modellierungsmethode umfassend in Prozessmodelle integriert werden und erweitert so das Verständnis für bestehende kreative Arbeit in Ist-Prozess-Analysen.

They are expected to impact all areas in companies and will, therefore, most likely occur in business negotiations. Although several studies address future developments of different business divisions, the megatrends' impact on negotiations has, thus far, not been analyzed. We designed a model including the three megatrends, i.e., globalization and economic shift, digitalization and new technologies, and demographic and social change, which have main effects on specific negotiation aspects. Our study combined an online survey and expert interviews with negotiation practitioners to provide a first broad view of how megatrends affect future business negotiations. The results confirm our model and reveal a close connection of megatrends and single negotiation aspects. Among others, we examine an orientation toward global partners, an increased interconnection through various electronic systems, as well as two opposite relationship directions - long-term and integrative through strategic cooperation vs. short-term and distributive through competition and new technologies.

Es halten sich in dieser Berufssparte aber immer noch einige Mythen zum Training von Vertriebsmitarbeitern. Unter anderem deshalb wurde in der Vergangenheit der Trainingsbedarf im Vertrieb stark vernachlässigt. Die Arbeit befasst sich deshalb zunächst mit der Frage, wie der Vertrieb in Deutschland aktuell geschult wird (unter Einbezug der Corona-Pandemie) und ob sich aus den Trainingsgewohnheiten erste Hinweise zur Erlangung eines strategischen Wettbewerbsvorteils ergeben könnten. Dabei greift die Arbeit auf, dass Investitionen in das Training von Vertriebsmitarbeitern eine Anlage in die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit des Unternehmens sein könnten. Automatisierte Trainings, beispielsweise basierend auf Virtual Reality (VR) und Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI), könnten in der Aus- und Weiterbildung des Vertriebs einen effizienten Beitrag in der Sicherstellung eines strategischen Wettbewerbsvorteils leisten. Durch weitere Forschungsfragen befasst sich die Arbeit anschließend damit, wie ein automatisiertes Vertriebstraining mit KI- und VR-Inhalten unter Einbeziehung der Nutzer gestaltet werden muss, um Vertriebsmitarbeiter in einem dafür ausgewählten Verhandlungskontext zu trainieren. Dazu wird eine Anwendung mit Hilfe von Virtual Reality und Künstlicher Intelligenz in einem Verhandlungsdialog entwickelt, getestet und evaluiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit liefert eine Basis für die Automatisierung von Vertriebstrainings und im erweiterten Sinne für Trainings im Allgemeinen. N2 - Digital and social developments demand continuous training for sales staff. However, some myths about the training of sales staff still persist in this profession. This is one of the reasons why the need for training in sales has been strongly neglected in the past. This work therefore first deals with the question of how salespeople in Germany are currently trained (taking into account the Corona pandemic) and whether initial indications for gaining a strategic competitive advantage could result from training habits. It takes up the idea that investments in the training of sales staff could be an investment in the competitiveness of the company. Automated training, for example based on virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI), could make an efficient contribution to ensuring a strategic competitive advantage in sales training. Through further research questions, the thesis then addresses how automated sales training with AI and VR content must be designed with user involvement in order to train sales employees in a negotiation context selected for this purpose. For this purpose, an application is developed, tested and evaluated using virtual reality and artificial intelligence in a negotiation dialogue. This work provides a basis for the automation of sales training and, in a broader sense, for training in general.

In a first-best setting, the optimal use of CDR is achieved by a removal subsidy that equals the optimal carbon tax and marginal damages. We derive second-best policy rules for CDR subsidies and carbon taxes when no global carbon price exists but a national government implements a unilateral climate policy. We find that the optimal carbon tax differs from an optimal CDR subsidy because of carbon leakage and a balance of resource trade effect. First, the optimal removal subsidy tends to be larger than the carbon tax because of lower supply-side leakage on fossil resource markets. Second, net carbon exporters exacerbate this wedge to increase producer surplus of their carbon resource producers, implying even larger removal subsidies. Third, net carbon importers may set their removal subsidy even below their carbon tax when marginal environmental damages are small, to appropriate producer surplus from carbon exporters.

Planetary boundaries define limits for biophysical systems and processes that regulate the stability and life support capacity of the Earth system, and thereby also define a safe operating space for humanity on Earth. Budgets associated to planetary boundaries can be understood as global commons: common pool resources that can be utilized within finite limits. Despite the analytical interpretation of planetary boundaries as global commons, the planetary boundaries framework is missing a thorough integration into economic theory. We aim to bridge the gap between welfare economic theory and planetary boundaries as derived in the natural sciences by presenting a unified theory of cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis. Our pragmatic approach aims to overcome shortcomings of the practical applications of CEA and CBA to environmental problems of a planetary scale. To do so, we develop a model framework and explore decision paradigms that give guidance to setting limits on human activities. This conceptual framework is then applied to planetary boundaries. We conclude by using the realized insights to derive a research agenda that builds on the understanding of planetary boundaries as global commons.

We use three large administrative data sets: (i) German diagnosis related groups-Statistik, (ii) data from a large social health insurance, and (iii) Road Traffic Accident Statistics. Applying difference-in-differences and synthetic-control-group methods, we find that the ban had no effects on alcohol-related road casualties, but significantly reduced alcohol-related hospitalizations (doctor visits) among young people by around 9 (18) percent. The decrease is driven by fewer hospitalizations due to acute alcohol intoxication during the night—when the ban is in place—but not during the day.

In this contribution we follow the recent call made by Moloney and Rosenbloom in this journal to make use of “public administrative theory and empirically based knowledge in analyzing the behavior of international and regional organizations” and offer a systematic analysis of the inner structures of these administrative bodies. Changes in these structures can reflect both the (re-)assignment of responsibilities, competencies, and expertise, but also the (re)allocation of resources, staff, and corresponding signalling of priorities. Based on organizational charts, we study structural changes within 46 international bureaucracies in the UN system. Tracing formal changes to all internal units over two decades, this contribution provides the first longitudinal assessment of structural change at the international level. We demonstrate that the inner structures of international bureaucracies in the UN system became more fragmented over time but also experienced considerable volatility with periods of structural growth and retrenchment. The analysis also suggests that IO's political features yield stronger explanatory power for explaining these structural changes than bureaucratic determinants. We conclude that the politics of structural change in international bureaucracies is a missing piece in the current debate on international public administrations that complements existing research perspectives by reiterating the importance of the political context of international bureaucracies as actors in global governance.

All tweets with the keyword “Flüchtlinge” posted for a monthlong period following September 13, 2015, the day Germany decided to implement border controls, were collected (N = 763,752). The top 2,495 tweets according to number of retweets were selected for analysis. Differences between news media, public and private actor tweets in topics, tweet characteristics such as tone and opinion expression, links, and specific sentiments toward refugees were analyzed. We found strong differences between the tweets. Public actor tweets were the main source of positive sentiment toward refugees and the main information source on refugee support. News media tweets mostly reflected traditional journalistic norms of impartiality and objectivity, whereas private actor tweets were more diverse in sentiments toward refugees.
