In communities where jobs and industry are scarce, many feel the government is incapable of understanding their needs or addressing their problems. The resulting frustration has fueled the success of destabilizing demagogues. To reverse this pattern and restore responsible government, we need to reinvigorate democracy at the local level. But what does that mean? Drawing on examples of successful community building in cities large and small, from a shrinking village in rural Austria to a neglected section of San Diego, Reconstructing Democracy makes a powerful case for re-engaging citizens. It highlights innovative grassroots projects and shows how local activists can form alliances and discover their own power to solve problems.

This is pursued by applying a vector error correction model and an impulse response analysis using monthly price data for the period 2000-2015. Our analysis considers transmission of price shocks across different market levels, including from the international and domestic wheat grain markets at the upstream to the domestic wheat bread market at the downstream of the value chain. The empirical findings indicate that significant cointegration exists across prices of the different market stages. There is a transmission from international prices to domestic prices at downstream markets, in particular to flour and bread prices. Prices at upstream markets are largely influenced by the domestic wholesale market. In general, the speed of adjustment is quite slow with a half-life of about one year for restoring the equilibrium price relationship. As price margins between the different market stages in the value chain have substantially decreased in the last 15 years, higher transmission, and thus exposure to international market shocks, can be expected in the future. The results also show that causal relationships exist between prices at different market stageswith the wholesale market identified as the key market level where prices and price expectations are formed.

Each paper deals with a specific macroeconomic question. The first paper assesses the distributional implications of environmental policies from a general equilibrium macroeconomic perspective. I develop a New-Keynesian model with several types of uncertainties and frictions that incorporates liquidity constrained households. The model is calibrated to match the German economy and the numerical results show that climate policy instruments can be associated with regressive welfare effects. Furthermore, the analysis shows that these effects can be mitigated through an appropriate revenue recycling scheme. The second paper deals with short-run inequality dynamics within a real business cycle model. An empirical evaluation shows that the cyclical components of income inequality, the capital share and real GDP are correlated. We develop tractable representation of common inequality indicators in the general equilibrium model and show that the observed pattern is driven by innovations in the capital share. A Bayesian estimation of the model for the United States with data for the period 1948 to 2017 indicates that the model provides a reasonable fit for the data and successfully replicates the observed pattern of cyclical correlations. The third paper empirically examines the effects of banking regulation on the risk-relationship between sovereigns and banks. Based on a comprehensive data set of the European banking sector, we find that the implementation of the novel European banking regulation framework significantly contributed to a weakening of the risk-link between sovereigns and banks.The fourth paper empirically examines the role of institutional experience for institutional development in transition economies. To capture institutional experience, we develop a novel index, based on historical country records. The results of cross-sectional and panel estimations suggest that institutional experience helps to explain the divergent economic and institutional development in transition economies after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.

BT - Evidence from the Schwartz/Moon model JF - Journal of risk finance N2 - On May 17, 2012, the social networking company Facebook Inc. fixes its initial public offering (IPO) price at $38.00 a share. Over the next couple of months, contrary to expectations raised by previous IPOs, the stock price crashes more than 50 per cent. Immediately, the question arises whether the issuer’s or the stock market’s pricing of the share are in line with the firm’s fundamentals. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to determine the company value in close proximity to the date of IPO.

A1 - Kraft, Frederik T1 - Fostering creativity through critical thinking: The case of business start-up simulations JF - Creativity and innovation management N2 - Research suggests a positive link between critical thinking and creativity. However, this relationship has not been measured in an empirical study. This study aims to explore whether critical thinking can serve to enhance creativity and whether creativity positively mediates the relationship between critical thinking and business performance. In this study, we analyse these relationships within the entrepreneurial context of a web-based business start-up simulation. We examined data from 26 teams of three to four senior business students and found partial support for our hypotheses. Critical thinking positively influenced creativity, measured as the total number of unique product designs. Creativity (unique product designs) also positively mediated the link between critical thinking and performance. This effect, however, did not exist when creativity was assessed through advertisement designs. This research contributes to entrepreneurship and innovation management by demonstrating the importance of critical thinking as a basis for creativity and testing this relationship in a business start-up simulation context.

By analyzing mitochondrial DNA sequences of an extensive sample set spanning 10,000 years, we find that the earliest pigs from the middle Yellow River region already carried the maternal lineages that are dominant in both younger archaeological populations and modern Chinese pigs. Our data set also supports early Neolithic pig utilization and a long-term in situ origin for northeastern Chinese pigs during 8,000-3,500 BP, suggesting a possibly independent domestication in northeast China. Additionally, we observe a genetic replacement in ancient northeast Chinese pigs since 3,500 BP. The results not only provide increasing evidence for pig origin in the middle Yellow River region but also depict an outline for the process of early pig domestication in northeast China.

They have shown that various new carbon governance arrangements have emerged, which operate simultaneously at different governmental levels. However, despite the numerous descriptions and mapping exercises of these governance arrangements, we have little systematic knowledge on their workings within national jurisdictions, let alone about their impact on public-administrative systems in developing countries. Therefore, this article opens the black box of the nation-state and explores how and to what extent two different arrangements, that is, Transnational City Networks and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, generate changes in the distribution of public authority in nation-states and their administrations. Building upon conceptual assumptions that the former is likely to lead to more decentralized, and the latter to more centralized policy-making, we provide insights from case studies in Indonesia, South Africa, Brazil, and India. In a nutshell, our analysis underscores that Transnational City Networks strengthen climate-related actions taken by cities without ultimately decentralizing climate policy-making. On the other hand, Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation tends to reinforce the competencies of central governments, but apparently does not generate a recentralization of the forestry sector at large.

Change agents are crucial for the promotion of such patterns, so there may be lessons for governance interventions that can be learnt from the every-day experiences of those who actively implement and promote sustainability in the field of anti-consumption. Eighteen social innovation pioneers, who engage in and diffuse practices of voluntary simplicity and collaborative consumption as sustainable options of anti-consumption share their knowledge and personal insights in expert interviews for this research. Our qualitative content analysis reveals drivers, barriers, and governance strategies to strengthen anti-consumption patterns, which are negotiated between the market, the state, and civil society. Recommendations derived from the interviews concern entrepreneurship, municipal infrastructures in support of local grassroots projects, regulative policy measures, more positive communication to strengthen the visibility of initiatives and emphasize individual benefits, establishing a sense of community, anti-consumer activism, and education. We argue for complementary action between top-down strategies, bottom-up initiatives, corporate activities, and consumer behavior. The results are valuable to researchers, activists, marketers, and policymakers who seek to enhance their understanding of materially reduced consumption patterns based on the real-life experiences of active pioneers in the field.

T1 - The Role of Sustainable Investment in Climate Policy JF - Sustainability N2 - Reaching the Sustainable Development Goals requires a fundamental socio-economic transformation accompanied by substantial investment in low-carbon infrastructure. Such a sustainability transition represents a non-marginal change, driven by behavioral factors and systemic interactions. However, typical economic models used to assess a sustainability transition focus on marginal changes around a local optimum, whichby constructionlead to negative effects. Thus, these models do not allow evaluating a sustainability transition that might have substantial positive effects. This paper examines which mechanisms need to be included in a standard computable general equilibrium model to overcome these limitations and to give a more comprehensive view of the effects of climate change mitigation. Simulation results show that, given an ambitious greenhouse gas emission constraint and a price of carbon, positive economic effects are possible if (1) technical progress results (partly) endogenously from the model and (2) a policy intervention triggering an increase of investment is introduced. Additionally, if (3) the investment behavior of firms is influenced by their sales expectations, the effects are amplified. The results provide suggestions for policy-makers, because the outcome indicates that investment-oriented climate policies can lead to more desirable outcomes in economic, social and environmental terms.

Therefore relationship banking is often considered as the appropriate lending technique. In this paper we offer a theoretical model to analyze relationship banking and the pricing behavior of banks in a Bertrand competition framework with monitoring costs. We show that the lack of reliable information leads to comparable high interest rates even if a long-term relationship between borrower and bank exists.

We endogenize international productivity differences and discuss the implications of international integration for the macroeconomy, inequality, and welfare. Lending countries are characterized by tighter domestic constraints and experience an increase in gross national product, whereas the gross domestic product effect is ambiguous. We conclude that international integration is beneficial only for economies where there are substantial financial constraints on entrepreneurial activity. Otherwise, a majority of households suffer, due to the unequal distribution of welfare gains and losses across the heterogeneous population.

Press CY - New York ER - TY - THES A1 - Henike, Tassilo T1 - Cognition and entrepreneurial business modelling BT - the impacts of cognitive dispositions, search activities and visual framing BT - Die Einflüsse kognitiver Dispositionen, Suchaktivitäten und visuellen Framings N2 - Although the search for promising business models (BMs) is crucial for every profit-oriented venture, searching for those challenges in particular entrepreneurs. Limited resources, missing expertise and absolute uncertainty call entrepreneurs to strongly rely on their cognition in searching for a promising BM. However, as prior studies have examined cognitive search activities in isolation and neglected cognitive differences, explanations of how cognitive factors affect the BM process and outcomes are thus far insufficient. Addressing the overall question of how BMs emerge, the dissertation contributes to the cognitive perspective in entrepreneurship and BM research. Building on the dual-process theory from cognitive psychology, the micro-foundations of managerial decision-making and insights from framing literature, this dissertation explicitly investigates the impacts of different cognitive dispositions, search activities and visual framing effects. The core assumption is that cognitive dispositions and entrepreneurs’ searches for information determine their BM decision-making. Furthermore, BM visualisations have become popular instruments with which to explain and manage today’s complex business interactions. As they abstract from reality, they can also unfold impacts on the cognitive processes. This dissertation offers new explanations to these aspects and consists of three studies and one reflective article. The first study explores the impacts of differences in search activities and cognitive dispositions in a qualitative study with 70 entrepreneurship students. The second qualitative study explores the cognitive impacts of 103 BM visualisations. Third, a quantitative PLS-SEM experiment with 197 entrepreneurs illuminates the link between BM visualisations and cognition. The reflective article expresses the results’ meaning for the teaching of BMs. In sum, the studies have resulted in a new theory of stabilising factors explaining how cognitive dispositions, search activities and visual framing determine entrepreneurs’ decisions to imitate or deviate from existing BMs. It indicates that the decision depends on the context-dependent strategic orientation and cognitive disposition-dependent cognitive safety, that is the correspondence between characteristics of cognitive dispositions and search activities. Moreover, the studies identified five visual framing effects that are independent of cognitive dispositions and prior experiences. This provides fertile contributions to the literature on BM methods and how BM visualisations affect decisions. Most importantly, BM visualisations provide an emotionally stabilising function to rational entrepreneurs, a cognitively stabilising function to experiential participants and do not affect indifferent participants in general. N2 - Die Suche nach vielversprechenden Geschäftsmodellen (GMen) ist für jedes gewinn-orientierte Unternehmen essenziell. Die Suche fordert vor allem Neugründer heraus. Aufgrund begrenzter Ressourcen, fehlender Erfahrungen und hoher Unsicherheit beruht deren Suche stark auf deren Kognition. Die bisherigen Erklärungen, wie sich kognitive Faktoren auf GM-Prozesse und -Ergebnisse auswirken, sind jedoch unzureichend. Diese vernachlässigen indivi¬duelle Unterschiede und betrachten ausschließlich einzelne, kognitive Suchaktivitäten. Diese Dissertation befasst sich folglich mit der allgemeinen Frage, wie GMe entstehen. Aufbauend auf der Dual-Process-Theorie, den Mikro-Grundlagen der Entscheidungsfindung und Framingeffekten werden die Auswirkungen verschiedener kognitiver Dispositionen, Suchaktivitäten und visueller Framingeffekte auf GM-Prozesse und -Ergebnisse untersucht. Grundlegend bestimmen die kognitive Disposition und Suchaktivitäten den Prozess. Darüber hinaus können auch GM-Visualisierungen Einflüsse entfalten, da sie von der Realität abstrahieren. Die Beantwortung der Frage, welche Einflüsse sie ausüben, ist bedeutend, da sie genutzt werden, um heutige, komplexe Geschäftsbeziehungen zu erklären und zu steuern. Die Dissertation bietet neue Erklärungen zu diesen Aspekten und besteht aus drei Studien und einem Reflexionsartikel. Die erste Studie untersucht die Auswirkungen von Unterschieden bei Suchaktivitäten und kognitiven Dispositionen in einer qualitativen Studie mit 70 Entrepre¬neurship-Studierenden. Die zweite, qualitative Studie untersucht die kognitiven Auswirkungen von 103 GM-Visualisierungen. Drittens beleuchtet ein quantitatives PLS-SEM-Experiment mit 197 Gründern die Beziehung zwischen GM-Visualisierungen und Kognition. Der Reflexions¬artikel beschreibt die Bedeutung der Ergebnisse für die GM-Lehre. Zusammenfassend trägt diese Dissertation zur kognitiven Perspektive der GM- und Ent¬repreneurship-Forschung bei. Die Ergebnisse eröffnen eine neue theoretische Erklärung und erweitern das Wissen über GM-Methoden. Sta¬bilisierende Faktoren wie der Zusammenhang zwischen Disposition und Suchaktivitäten sind Grundvoraussetzung für Gründer, um neuartige GMe zu entwickeln. Diese neue Erkenntnis wird durch das neue Konzept, kognitive Sicherheit, als kontext-unabhängige GM-Auswirkung be¬schrieben. Die strategische Orientierung wirkt sich kontextabhängig aus. Des Weiteren wurden fünf visuelle Framingeffekte identifiziert, die unabhängig von Disposition und Vorwissen Entscheidungen beeinflussen. Am bedeutendsten zeigt sich, dass GM-Visualisierungen emotional-stabilisierende Auswirkungen auf rationale und kognitiv-stabilisierende Auswirkungen auf erfahrungsgetriebene Gründer haben.

The increasing acceleration of new developments in media and ICT technologies greatly affected the Creative Industries' dynamic with a direct impact on the people working in this sector. Since only a few studies focus on competences needs, more or less isolated from the trends within the industry, we address the topic of individual competence shifts in the turbulent environment of the Creative Industries. We investigated the trends regarding competence shifts and their implications as well as the competences which are essential for creative professionals. We conducted a broad literature review as well as a qualitative study, which includes interviews and workshops with industry experts on trends within the Creative Industries and corresponding dimensions and demands for competences. We present four requirements that call for shifts in the education of competences. Based on the discussion of requirements, we present a competence portfolio for the Creative Industries along the dimensions of professional, methodological and personal-social competences. The portfolio clearly indicates which competences should be taken into consideration for the development of curricula and study programmes in the education of creative professionals. A generalization of these findings suggests new challenges for companies relying on creative professionals.

Firms from mature industries are increasingly realizing that BMs that worked successfully for years have become insufficient to stay on track in today’s “move fast and break things” economy. Firms must scrutinize the core logic that informs how they do business, which means exploring novel ways to engage customers and get them to pay. This can lead to a complete renewal of existing BMs or innovating completely new BMs. BMs have emerged as a popular object of research within the last decade. Despite the popularity of the BM, the theoretical and empirical foundation underlying the concept is still weak. In particular, the innovation process for BMs has been developed and implemented in firms, but understanding of the mechanisms behind it is still lacking. Business model innovation (BMI) is a complex and challenging management task that requires more than just novel ideas. Systematic studies to generate a better understanding of BMI and support incumbents with appropriate concepts to improve BMI development are in short supply. Further, there is a lack of knowledge about appropriate research practices for studying BMI and generating valid data sets in order to meet expectations in both practice and academia. This paper-based dissertation aims to contribute to research practice in the field of BM and BMI and foster better understanding of the BM concept and BMI processes in incumbent firms from mature industries. The overall dissertation presents three main results. The first result is a new perspective, or the systems thinking view, on the BM and BMI. With the systems thinking view, the fuzzy BM concept is clearly structured and a BMI framework is proposed. The second result is a new research strategy for studying BMI. After analyzing current research practice in the areas of BMs and BMI, it is obvious that there is a need for better research on BMs and BMI in terms of accuracy, transparency, and practical orientation. Thus, the action case study approach combined with abductive methodology is proposed and proven in the research setting of this thesis. The third result stems from three action case studies in incumbent firms from mature industries employed to study how BMI occurs in practice. The new insights and knowledge gained from the action case studies help to explain BMI in such industries and increase understanding of the core of these processes. By studying these issues, the articles complied in this thesis contribute conceptually and empirically to the recently consolidated but still increasing literature on the BM and BMI. The conclusions and implications made are intended to foster further research and improve managerial practices for achieving BMI in a dramatically changing business environment. N2 - In den letzten Jahren sind ganze Branchen und ihre Teilnehmer durch neue disruptive Technologien stark beeinflusst worden, was zu dramatischen Marktveränderungen und Herausforderungen für die Art und Weise wie das Geschäft des Unternehmens funktioniert, geführt hat. Firmen aus reifen Industrien erkennen zunehmend, dass die bestehenden Geschäftsmodelle, die jahrelang erfolgreich funktionierten, dem neuen Veränderungsdruck der dynamischen Wirtschaft nicht mehr genügen. Die Unternehmen müssen ihre Geschäftslogik radikal hinterfragen. Diese beschreibt, wie sie Geschäfte machen, wie sie mit dem Kunden interagieren und wie sie letztlich Geld verdienen. Dies kann zu einer kompletten Erneuerung der bestehenden Geschäftsmodelle führen oder völlig neue innovative Geschäftsmodelle hervorbringen. Geschäftsmodelle haben sich als ein beliebtes Forschungsobjekt in den letzten zehn Jahren etabliert. Trotz der Popularität des Geschäftsmodell Konzeptes sind die theoretischen und empirischen Grundlagen dahinter nach wie vor eher schwach ausgeprägt. Insbesondere besteht für den Geschäftsmodellinnovationsprozess, wie er in Unternehmen implementiert und angewendet wird, nur ein unzureichendes Verständnis. Geschäftsmodellinnovation ist eine komplexe und anspruchsvolle Managementaufgabe, die mehr als nur neue Ideen erfordert. Systematische Untersuchungen, die zu einem besseren Verständnis von Geschäftsmodellinnovation führen und damit etablierten Unternehmen mit entsprechenden Konzepte unterstützt, gibt es zu wenige. Des Weiteren gibt es ein Defizit bei geeigneten Forschungspraktiken, um Geschäftsmodellinnovationen zu untersuchen, welche sowohl den praktischen als auch wissenschaftlichen Anforderungen gerecht werden. Die vorliegende kumulative Dissertation zielt darauf ab, die Forschungspraxis im Bereich der Geschäftsmodelle und der Geschäftsmodellinnovation zu fördern und ein besseres Verständnis zum Geschäftsmodell Konzept als auch zur Geschäftsmodellinnovation in etablierten Unternehmen in reifen Industrien zu schaffen. Die Dissertation liefert dabei drei wesentliche Ergebnisse. Das erste Ergebnis ist eine neue Perspektive auf das Geschäftsmodell Konzept und die Geschäftsmodellinnovation mit Hilfe des System Denkens (Systemtheorie). Mit einer systemischen Sicht wird das bis dahin unscharfe Konzept klar strukturiert und es wird ein Rahmenwerk für Geschäftsmodellinnovation vorgeschlagen. Das zweite Ergebnis ist eine neue Forschungsstrategie für die Untersuchung von Geschäftsmodellinnovation. Nach der Analyse der gängigen Praxis der aktuellen Forschung in den Bereichen Geschäftsmodell und Geschäftsmodellinnovation, wird klar, dass die aktuelle Forschung Schwächen in Bezug auf Genauigkeit, Transparenz und Praxisorientierung aufweist. Somit wird die Aktionsfallstudie in Kombination mit der Abduktion als modernes Forschungsdesign vorgeschlagen und in dieser Arbeit angewendet. Das dritte Ergebnis ergibt sich aus drei durchgeführten Aktionsfallstudien in etablierten Unternehmen aus reifen Industrien, um das Phänomen Geschäftsmodellinnovation in der Praxis zu untersuchen. Die neuen Einsichten und Erkenntnisse, die aus den Aktionsfallstudien gewonnen wurden, helfen dabei Geschäftsmodellinnovation zu erklären und das Verständnis für den Gesamtprozess zu erhöhen.

A typology of innovation response behaviour is developed, distinguishing between active and passive modes of conduct for novelty-supporting and novelty-impeding behaviour, respectively. The antecedents of innovation response behaviour are delineated based on West and Farr's five-factor model of individual innovation. Moreover, we argue that within organizational contexts, individuals often fail to implement their ideas due to innovation barriers, perceived as factors that are beyond their control. Based on the theory of planned behaviour, we reveal how these barriers influence individuals intentional and exhibited innovation response behaviour. Propositions about proximal and distal antecedents of individuals innovation response behaviour are derived. Proposing a research framework to study the organizational process of innovation from an actor-based perspective, this paper intends to link existing research on individual innovation with the process of innovation at the organizational level, explicitly accounting for the socio-political dynamics and arising managerial problems associated with successful innovation implementation within organizational realities. Implications for research in innovation management are discussed and avenues for future research outlined.

The goal is to develop new products and services by being customer-centric and working iteratively and in an interdisciplinary way, using specific working principles and methods to create a common language among all stakeholders. The empirical results in this article show that Design Thinking teamwork is different from other forms of teamwork. The difference in Design Thinking team-based project work is that the teams go through a specific learning process that poses individual challenges but also provides the individual with experience-based learning. We show that teams going through this learning process repeatedly find themselves in seemingly insolvable conflicts-so called structural dilemmas-within the framework of project deadlines and under the influence of strategic guidelines of the organization. We explore these structural dilemmas and develop ways to overcome them.

But once the campaign's policies were abandoned and the Soviet alcohol monopoly broken up, a steep rise in mortality was observed in many of the newly formed successor countries, although some kept their monopolies. Almost 30 years after the campaign's end, the region faces diverse challenges in relation to alcohol. Approach The present narrative review sheds light on recent drinking trends and alcohol policy developments in the 15 Former Soviet Union (FSU) countries, highlighting the most important setbacks, achievements and best practices. Vignettes of alcohol control policies in Belarus, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Lithuania and Uzbekistan are presented to illustrate the recent developments.
Key Findings Over the past decade, drinking levels have declined in almost all FSU countries, paralleled by the introduction of various alcohol-control measures. The so-called three 'best buys' put forward by the World Health Organization to reduce alcohol-attributable burden (taxation and other measures to increase price, restrictions on alcohol availability and marketing) are relatively well implemented across the countries. Implications In recent years, evidence-based alcohol policies have been actively implemented as a response to the enormous alcohol-attributable burden in many of the countries, although there is big variance across and within different jurisdictions. Conclusion Strong declines in alcohol consumption were observed in the 15 FSU countries, which have introduced various alcohol control measures in recent years, resulting in a reduction of alcohol consumption in the World Health Organization European region overall.

However, the relative contribution of the two kinds of knowledge to organizational performance is insufficiently understood. The article addresses this gap by focusing on the role of staff in World Bank performance. It posits that country-specific knowledge, sectoral knowledge, and their combination positively contribute to World Bank projects. The argument is tested drawing on a novel database on the tenure, nationality, and educational background of World Bank Task Team Leaders. Three findings stand out. First, country-specific knowledge seems to matter on average, while sectoral knowledge does not. Second, there is some evidence that staff that combine both kinds of knowledge are empowered to make more positive contributions to performance. Third, the diversity and relevance of experience, not length of tenure, are associated with more success. The findings contribute to discussions on international bureaucracies by highlighting how differences between the knowledge of individual staff shape their decision-making and performance. IOs could better tap into the existing resources in their bureaucracies to enhance their performance by rotating staff less frequently between duty stations.

We consider regions of different sizes and systematically search for the most suitable spatial weights matrices. We find substantial spatial dependence as well as time persistence of start-up activity, especially in the high-tech industry. This suggests that local start-up activity has positive extemal effects and that entrepreneurship policy could play an efficiency-enhancing role.

As a consequence, strong convictions on political repression abound, but empirical investigations into the matter remain rare. This introduction sets the agenda for the chapters to come and outlines the answers given to the three motivating questions of this volume. First, what variants of political repression are there, and how do they interact? Second, what impact does the interaction of different forms of political repression have on the problem of authoritarian control? Finally, what difference does the complementary use of violence and restrictions make for the problem of authoritarian power-sharing?

This article presents a comparison between subjects restricted to playing pure strategies and subjects allowed to play mixed strategies in a one-shot symmetric PD laboratory experiment. Subjects interact with 10 other subjects and take their decisions all at once. Because subjects in the mixed-strategy treatment group are allowed to condition their level of cooperation more precisely on their beliefs about their counterparts’ level of cooperation, we predicted the cooperation rate in the mixed-strategy treatment group to be higher than in the pure-strategy control group. The results of our experiment reject our prediction: even after controlling for beliefs about the other subjects’ level of cooperation, we find that cooperation in the mixed-strategy group is lower than in the pure-strategy group. We also find, however, that subjects in the mixedstrategy group condition their cooperative behaviour more closely on their beliefs than in the pure-strategy group. In the mixed-strategy group, most subjects choose intermediate levels of cooperation.

In order to counteract the geographical mismatch of workers, the German active labor market policy offers a subsidy covering moving costs to incentivize unemployed job seekers to search/accept jobs in distant regions. Based on administrative data, this study provides the first empirical evidence on the impact of this subsidy on participants' prospective labor market outcomes. We use an instrumental variable approach to take endogenous selection based on observed and unobserved characteristics into account when estimating causal treatment effects. We find that unemployed job seekers who participate in the subsidy program and move to a distant region receive higher wages and find more stable jobs compared to non-participants. We show that the positive effects are (to a large extent) the consequence of a better job match due to the increased search radius of participants.

BT - The Paradox of Freedom in Organizations BT - Das Paradoxon der Freiheit in Organisationen N2 - Purpose – This thesis set out to explore, describe, and evaluate the reality behind the rhetoric of freedom and control in the context of creativity. The overarching subject is concerned with the relationship between creativity, freedom, and control, considering freedom is also seen as an element of control to manage creativity. Design/methodology/approach – In-depth qualitative data gathered from at two innovative start-ups. Two ethnographic studies were conducted. The data are based on participatory observations, interviews, and secondary sources, each of which included a three months field study and a total of 41 interviews from both organizations. Findings – The thesis provides explanations for the practice of freedom and the control of creativity within organizations and expands the existing theory of neo-normative control. The findings indicate that organizations use complex control systems that allow a high degree of freedom that paradoxically leads to more control. Freedom is a cover of control, which in turn leads to creativity. Covert control even results in the responsibility to be creative outside working hours. Practical implications – Organizations, which rely on creativity might use the results of this thesis. Positive workplace control of creativity provides both freedom and structure for creative work. While freedom leads to organizational members being more motivated and committing themselves more strongly to their and the organization’s goals, and a specific structure also helps to provide the requirements for creativity. Originality/value – The thesis provides an insight into an approach to workplace control, which has mostly neglected in creativity research and proposes a modified concept of neo-normative control. It serves to provide a further understanding of freedom for creativity and to challenge the liberal claims of new control forms. N2 - Relevanz – Diese Dissertation hat das Ziel zu erforschen, zu beschreiben und zu bewerten, wie Freiheit als Kontrollform für Kreativität in Organisationen instrumentalisiert werden kann. Die Arbeit untersucht das Verhältnis von Kreativität, Freiheit und Kontrolle. Dabei wird Freiheit auch als eine Form der Kontrolle zur Einflussnahme auf Kreativität gesehen. Methode – Ausführliche qualitative Daten wurden in jeweils dreimonatigen Feldstudien, in zwei innovativen Start-ups erhoben. Für die beiden ethnographischen Studien wurden insgesamt 41 Interviews geführt. Ergänzt wurden die Daten aus den Interviews durch Feldbeobachtungen und Sekundärquellen. Resultate – Die Dissertation liefert Erklärungen für die Instrumentalisierung von Freiheit um Kreativität zu kontrollieren und erweitert die bestehende Theorie der neo-normativen Kontrolle. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Organisationen komplexe Kontrollsysteme einsetzen, die einen hohen Freiheitsgrad erlauben, der paradoxerweise zu mehr Kontrolle führt. Freiheit wird dadurch zu einer verdeckten Kontrolle, die wiederum zu mehr Kreativität führt. Diese verdeckte Kontrolle kann sogar zu der Verantwortung führen, außerhalb der Arbeitszeit kreativ sein zu müssen. Implikationen – Die Ergebnisse sind relevant für Organisationen die Kreativität brauchen. Eine kreativitätsunterstützende Kontrolle bietet sowohl Freiheit, als auch Struktur. Die Freiheit führt dazu, dass die Mitglieder der Organisation motivierter sind und sich stärker für ihre und die Ziele der Organisation engagieren. Eine spezifische Struktur hilft, die Voraussetzungen für Kreativität zu schaffen und die Mitarbeiter zu entlasten, indem ihre Arbeitszeit reguliert wird. Originalität – Die Dissertation gibt einen neuartigen Einblick in die Arbeitsplatzkontrolle, die in der Kreativitätsforschung meist vernachlässigt wurde und ein modifiziertes Konzept der neo-normativen Kontrolle vorschlägt. Die Forschungsarbeit dient dazu, ein breiteres Verständnis für die Wechselbeziehung von Freiheit und Kreativität zu schaffen und stellt gleichzeitig die liberalen Ansprüche neuer Kontrollformen in Frage.

It is defined as the ‘architecture of the firm’s value creation, delivery and appropriation mechanisms’ (Foss & Saebi, 2018, p. 5). The architecture is characterized by complex functional interrelations between activities that are conducted by various actors, some within and some outside of the firm. In other words, a firm’s value architecture is embedded within a wider system of actors that all contribute to the output of the value architecture. The question of what drives innovation within this system and how the firm can shape and navigate this innovation is an essential question within innova- tion management research. This dissertation is a compendium of four individual research articles that examine how the design of a firm’s value architecture can fa- cilitate system-wide innovation in the context of Artificial Intelligence and Block- chain Technology. The first article studies how firms use Blockchain Technology to design a governance infrastructure that enables innovation within a platform ecosystem. The findings propose a framework for blockchain-enabled platform ecosystems that address the essential problem of opening the platform to allow for innovation while also ensuring that all actors get to capture their share of the value. The second article analyzes how German Artificial Intelligence startups design their business models. It identifies three distinct types of startup with dif- ferent underlying business models. The third article aims to understand the role of a firm’s value architecture during the socio-technical transition process of Arti- ficial Intelligence. It identifies three distinct ways in which Artificial Intelligence startups create a shared understanding of the technology. The last article exam- ines how corporate venture capital units configure value-adding services for their venture portfolios. It derives a taxonomy of different corporate venture capital types, driven by different strategic motivations. Ultimately, this dissertation provides novel empirical insights into how a firm’s value architecture determines it’s role within a wider system of actors and how that role enables the firm to facilitate innovation. In that way, it contributes to both business model and innovation management literature.

Therefore, the availability of reliable and robust co-transfection methods and defined selection criteria for their use in, e.g., expression of multimeric proteins or mixed RNA/DNA delivery is of utmost importance. Here, we investigated different co- and successive transfection approaches, with particular focus on in vitro transcribed messenger RNA (IVT-mRNA). Expression levels and patterns of two fluorescent protein reporters were determined, using different IVT-mRNA doses, carriers, and cell types. Quantitative parameters determining the efficiency of co-delivery were analyzed for IVT-mRNAs premixed before nanocarrier formation (integrated co-transfection) and when simultaneously transfecting cells with separately formed nanocarriers (parallel co-transfection), which resulted in a much higher level of expression heterogeneity for the two reporters. Successive delivery of mRNA revealed a lower transfection efficiency in the second transfection round. All these differences proved to be more pronounced for low mRNA doses. Concurrent delivery of siRNA with mRNA also indicated the highest co-transfection efficiency for integrated method. However, the maximum efficacy was shown for successive delivery, due to the kinetically different peak output for the two discretely operating entities. Our findings provide guidance for selection of the co-delivery method best suited to accommodate experimental requirements, highlighting in particular the nucleic acid dose-response dependence on co-delivery on the single-cell level.

Platform owners provide platform boundary resources that allow for application development. For developers, platform integration, understood as the employment of platform resources, helps to realize application functionality effectively. Simultaneously, it requires integration effort and increases dependencies. Developers are interested to know whether integration contributes to success in hypercompetitive platform settings. While aspects of platform participation have been studied, research on a comprehensive notion of integration and related implications are missing. By proposing a platform integration model, this study supports a better understanding of integration. Concerning dynamics related to integration, effects were tested using information from over 82,000 Apple AppStore applications. Regression model analysis reveals that application success and customer satisfaction is positively influenced by platform integration. To achieve superior results, developers should address multiple aspects of integration, such as devices, data, the operating system, the marketplace as well as other applications, and provide updates. Finally, the study highlights the importance for all platform participants and their possibilities to employ integration as a strategic instrument.

For some people, it results in health problems, for others in productivity loss, and some experience the worst possible outcome of alcohol misuse - death. This paper estimates the effect of reduced alcohol sales hours on alcohol-attributable mortality (AAM) in Estonia. Using novel mortality data from 1997 to 2015, this paper analyzes the effect of alcohol sales policies at both the county level and the country level. By applying the difference-in-differences method and the ARIMA model, this paper finds that the alcohol sales policy reduced AAM to between 1.710 and 2.401 deaths per 100,000 per month, which equals a reduction of 31% to 40% in AAM deaths. These findings suggest that individuals who are the most at risk of dying from alcohol-attributable causes of death benefit remarkably from reduced alcohol availability.

Unternehmen der Privatwirtschaft betreiben daher gezielt Personalmarketing - öffentliche Verwaltungen bisher kaum. Obwohl die Kombination aus einer überalterten Belegschaft, sinkenden Schulabsolventenzahlen und einem weitgehend unattraktiven Arbeitgeberimage insbesondere für öffentliche Verwaltungen die Gefahr eines eklatanten Mangels qualifizierter Nachwuchskräfte birgt. Die vorliegende Arbeit geht der Frage nach wie Personalmarketing in öffentlichen Verwaltungen bereits erfolgreich betrieben wird und welche Erfolgsfaktoren sich daraus für den Einsatz in anderen Verwaltungen ableiten lassen. Mit Hilfe der Analyse eines Best Practice-Ansatzes und auf der Basis der für die Privatwirtschaft bereits identifizierten Erfolgsfaktoren werden diese für den erfolgreichen Einsatz von Personalmarketing in der öffentlichen Verwaltung herausgearbeitet. Der Fokus des Praxisbeispiels liegt dabei auf der Rekrutierung von Nachwuchskräften für den mittleren und gehobenen allgemeinen nicht-technischen Verwaltungsdienst. Als Best Practice-Beispiel dient das Ausbildungsmarketing der Freien und Hansestadt Hamburg. Im Ergebnis decken sich die grundsätzlichen Erfolgsfaktoren mit denen der Privatwirtschaft. Dazu gehören u. a. das Vorhandensein eines strategischen Konzepts, die Formulierung klarer und messbarer Ziele sowie das systematische Überprüfen der Effektivität und Effizienz des Personalmarketing sowie einzelner Instrumente. Für öffentliche Verwaltungen ist es zudem besonders wichtig das Arbeitgeberimage zu verbessern. Dies sollte bei der Ansprache von Nachwuchskräften mit Hilfe moderner Medien, durch Einblicke in Verwaltungsaufgaben und die Einbindung von Eltern und Schulen geschehen. N2 - Within the last years keywords as war for talents and skills shortage constantly gained in importance. That is why private sector entities take actions to attract talents - meanwhile public sector entities hardly do so. Even though the combination of an over aged workforce, the decline of school graduates and their widely unattractive employer image carry the danger of a striking deficit of young talents for public sector entities. The following thesis therefore tries to answer the question how public sector entities already attract talents successfully and which critical success factors can be deduced from that. By the analysis of a best practice approach and based on the factors of success identified for the private sector the thesis develops the critical success factors for the attraction of talents for the public sector. The best practice approach is focused on the recruitment of school graduates for the apprenticeships of the public sector in Germany. It presents the activities of the city of Hamburg. The critical success factors basically comply with those identified for the private sector. That includes amongst others the existence of a strategic concept, the formulation of explicit and measurable goals and the systematic testing of the effectiveness and efficiency of both the attraction program in general and every single instrument. For public sector entities in addition it is indispensible to improve their employer image. When attracting young talents this should be done by the use of modern media, by providing an insight into public sector tasks and by involving parents and schools.

The socialistic systems were not able to fulfill the necessary functions in providing a certain degree of redistribution and social security, which are inevitable for social oriented market economies. Increasing income and wage differentiation is one of the most important prerequisites for a market oriented ability to pay tax system. But in the transformation period, numerous quasi-legal or even illegal property transactions have taken place, thus leading to wealth concentrations on the one hand while as consequence of the bankruptcy of socialism, enormous poverty problems have arisen on the other. For the political acceptance of the transformation process it is of utmost importance that an efficient and fair tax system is implemented and social security is organised by the state on a level which secures at least the physical minimum of subsistence or – if economically possible – even a social-cultural minimum. Whether the state should go further in providing compulsory social insurance systems has been a hotly debated topic for decades even in the welfare and social states of the Western type. Whereas the basic security systems have to be financed by general tax revenue, for a compulsory social insurance system – due to the insurance character – special earmarked social security contribution are held necessary. Both public goods and services as well as at least basic security have to be financed by total tax revenue. For the acceptance and fairness of the whole system the total redistributive effect of both sides of the budget – the tax system as well as the expenditure system – are decisive. In this paper we will concentrate on the revenue side, e.g. on the taxes as well as on the social security contributions. Adam Smith had already formulated some very simple tax norms which have been transformed in modern tax theory. The equivalence as well as the ability-topay principle are basic yardsticks for every tax system in a democratic oriented market system, not to forget tax fairness. In the historical development process equity-oriented measures have often produced an enormous complexity of the single taxes as well as of the whole tax system. Therefore, reconsidering the Smithian principles of simplicity and of minimum compliance costs for the tax payer would even press many Western European tax systems to undergo serious reform processes which often are delayed because of intense interest group influence. Hence, a modern tax system is a simple one which consists only of a few single taxes which are easy to administer. Such a system consists of two main taxes, the income and the value added tax. Consequently in all countries of transition both taxes have been implemented, while the implementation was fostered by the fact that both also constitute the typical components of the EU member states systems. Therefore such a harmonising tax reform is the most important prerequisite to become a membership candidate. Bulgaria also tried to follow this general pattern in reforming the income tax system starting in 1992 and replacing the old socialistic turnover tax and excise duty system by the value added tax (VAT) in 1994. Especially with regard to the income tax system the demand for simplicity has not been met yet. Complex rules to define the tax base as well as a steeply progressive tax schedule have led to behavioral adaptations which are even strengthened by the effects of a high social contribution burden which is predominantly laid on the employers. In the following some concise descriptions of the tax and social contribution system are given; the paper closes with a summary, in which the impacts of the system are evaluated and some political recommendations for further reforms are presented.

Social policy, already overstrained due to the demands of transition, was unable to cope effectively with the rapidly spreading state of emergency. The following essay analyses the development of the social indicators and instruments of social security in the years 1990 to 1998. In addition to unemployment and unemployment insurance, the issue of pensions and poverty will also be examined.

The transformation process from planned to market economy includes not only the adaptation of the economy to the new market rules but also the profound social and political transformation. For this reason such processes present huge challenges to affected societies. The transformational recession in Georgia was significantly enhanced by the civil war and by ethnic conflicts in Abkhazia and South Ossetia. During the ethnic conflicts and civil war the business and technical infrastructure were damaged and most of them were completely destroyed. Poverty and political instability were predominated. The trade relations with the member countries of Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (Comecon) were aborted. Moreover, the conflict in South Ossetia hampered the power supply from Russia and a conflict in Abkhazia, the production and trade with tea and citruses, which were major trade commodities at that time. In the beginning of 90-ies, Georgian government with the assistance of international organizations, such as International Monetary Fund and World Bank started to elaborate political and economical reforms. The reforms included several aspects, such as the transfer of public assets to private through privatization, the liberalization of domestic market and trade and the creation of market-oriented institutions. Because of lack in implementation neither economical nor political transformation has been achieved. For instance, by the begin of market oriented reforms the awareness of policy makers about the importance of entrepreneurship, in particular small and medium ones for the economy was low. The absence of previous experience prevented the elaboration of appropriate policy instruments and methods for the development of competitive market economy. The stimulation of private sector has been generally neglected. This had a severe affect on political, social and economical problems, which still hampers the development of middle class in Georgia. The presented research indicates that productive entrepreneurship is a driving force of an economy. The entrepreneurial activities on the one hand facilitate the resource allocation and on the other through the development of new products and services urge the competition. Furthermore, they contribute to technological improvements through innovation, create jobs and thus boost the economic and social development of a particular region or country. However, it is important that the legal and institutional framework is appropriately settled. Unlike mature market economies, Georgia is not characterized by well-developed sector of small and medium sized businesses. Most existing SMEs are operating in local markets and predominantly in the shadow economy. It is also noteworthy that small business in Georgia belongs to so called “mom and pop” rather than to innovative, growth oriented businesses. They are mostly engaged in trade and craft. In addition of poor performance, the business activity of SMEs is very centralized. The vast majority of them are operating in the capital Tbilisi. The poor performance of small and medium businesses in Georgia and their negligence by the market forces is among others due to the armed conflicts and state failure. As in the beginning of transformation process, down to the present day, the state fails to provide necessary conditions, such as rule of law, the protection of property rights and competition, transparent and uncorrupted public administration. The result is the weak middle class. The weak middle class by itself has a negative impact on economic development and democratization process in Georgia. N2 - Nach dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion haben die ehemaligen Mitgliedstaaten angefangen, ihre Wirtschaftssysteme zu transformieren. Beim Prozess der Transformation von einer Planwirtschaft zu einer Marktwirtschaft handelt es sich um mehr als um einen Prozess der wirtschaftlichen Umwandlung: Er beinhaltete sowohl einen tiefgreifenden sozialen als auch einen politischen Wandel. Aus diesem Grund stellen derartige Transformationsprozesse eine große Herausforderung für die betroffenen Gesellschaften dar. Die transformationsbedingte Rezession in Georgien wurde in der Anfangszeit durch den Bürgerkrieg und ethnische Konflikte wesentlich verstärkt. Im Laufe der Kriegszeit wurden sowohl die technische als auch die geschäftliche Infrastruktur im Wesentlichen zerstört. Es herrschten Armut und politische Instabilität. Die Handelsbeziehungen mit Mitgliedstaaten des Rates für Gegenseitige Wirtschaftshilfe (RGW) wurden abgebrochen. Zudem behinderte einerseits der Krieg in Südossetien Energielieferungen aus Russland andererseits schwächte der Krieg in Abchasien die Produktion von Zitrusgewächsen und Tee sowie den Handel mit ihnen. Diese Produkte gehörten damals zu den wesentlichen Exportgütern von Georgien. Im Jahr 1994 wurden die marktwirtschaftlichen Reformen in Georgien durch den Internationalen Währungsfonds und die Weltbank unterstützt. Die Unterstützungsmaßnahmen konzentrierten sich zunächst auf den Privatisierungsprozess, auf die Stabilisierung und die Liberalisierung der Märkte. Die Stabilisierungs-und Liberalisierungsmaßnahmen wurden durch diese Unterstützung effektiv durchgeführt. Dadurch wurde ein gewisses Maß an wirtschaftlicher Stabilisierung erreicht, was jedoch die Privatisierung anbetrifft, blieben die Ergebnisse des Prozesses insgesamt mangelhaft. Es ist ganz offensichtlich, dass mit dem Beginn der marktwirtschaftlichen Reformen das Bewusstsein für die volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Unternehmertums, insbesondere der KMU, unter den politischen Entscheidungsträgern allerdings nicht mit der notwendigen Geschwindigkeit gewachsen ist. Die Rolle der kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen für die Volkswirtschaft sowie die Instrumente und Methoden, um eine moderne wettbewerbsfähige Marktwirtschaft aufzubauen und institutionell zu kräftigen, waren den Entscheidungsträgern in den Georgien aus Mangel an früheren Erfahrungen zunächst unbekannt. Deswegen wurde es versäumt, Maßnahmen zur Förderung der kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen zu erarbeiten. Dies führt bis heute zu transformationsbedingten politischen, wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Problemen, welche die Entstehung eines starken Mittelstands bremsen. Die Ergebnisse der Forschung zeigen, dass auf die makroökonomische Ebene bezogen das produktive „Entrepreneurship“ einen Schlüssel zu Wachstum und Dynamik der Wirtschaft darstellt. Unternehmerische Aktivitäten ermöglichen einerseits eine effiziente Allokation der Ressourcen, andererseits treiben sie durch die Entwicklung neuer Produkte und Dienstleistungen den Wettbewerb an. Darüber hinaus erfüllen sie im praktischen Wirtschaftsleben aber noch weitere wichtige Funktionen: Vor allem gewährleisten sie den technischen Fortschritt, indem sie Innovationen durchsetzen, sie tragen zum Entstehen von Arbeitsplätzen bei und beschleunigen die wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklung, indem sie brach liegende Potenziale mobilisieren. Es ist jedoch unbedingt notwendig, dass die rechtlichen und institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen korrekt festgesetzt sind, damit die Entrepreneure diese Ziele erreichen können. Die Analyse des Status quo in Georgien hat verdeutlicht, dass die überwiegende Zahl der kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen in den Bereichen Handel und Dienstleistungen beschäftigt ist. Die Tätigkeit von vielen davon ist eher als „Proprietorship“ statt „Entrepreneurship“ zu charakterisieren. Die Ursache, dass sich in Georgien eine unproduktive Form unternehmerischer Tätigkeit entwickelt hat, ist u. a. auf Staatsversagen zurückzuführen. Wie in der Anfangsphase versagt der Staat bis heute bei der Bereitstellung der notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen und der Festlegung gerechter Spielregeln, und darunter leiden kleine und mittlere Unternehmen stärker als die großen. Da die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen in Georgien noch nicht im gewünschten Maße bereitgestellt sind, und die Institutionen einfach fehlen, erschwert das weiter die Funktion der Märkte, sodass die kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen auch durch die Märkte benachteiligt werden.

This has been largely in the context of decentralization reforms in which central governments transfer (share) political, administrative, fiscal and economic powers and functions to sub-national units. Despite the great international support and advocacy for participatory governance where citizen’s voice plays a key role in decision making of decentralized service delivery, there is a notable dearth of empirical evidence as to the effect of such participation. This is the question this study sought to answer based on a case study of direct citizen participation in Local Authorities (LAs) in Kenya. This is as formally provided for by the Local Authority Service Delivery Action Plan (LASDAP) framework that was established to ensure citizens play a central role in planning and budgeting, implementation and monitoring of locally identified services towards improving livelihoods and reducing poverty. Influence of participation was assessed in terms of how it affected five key determinants of effective service delivery namely: efficient allocation of resources; equity in service delivery; accountability and reduction of corruption; quality of services; and, cost recovery. It finds that the participation of citizens is minimal and the resulting influence on the decentralized service delivery negligible. It concludes that despite the dismal performance of citizen participation, LASDAP has played a key role towards institutionalizing citizen participation that future structures will build on. It recommends that an effective framework of citizen participation should be one that is not directly linked to politicians; one that is founded on a legal framework and where citizens have a legal recourse opportunity; and, one that obliges LA officials both to implement what citizen’s proposals which meet the set criteria as well as to account for their actions in the management of public resources.

Dieser Artikel geht der Frage nach, wie erklärt werden kann, warum einige Führungskräfte in der öffentlichen Verwaltung reformbereiter sind als andere. Er greift dabei auf eine Führungskräftebefragung aus dem Jahr 2010 zurück, die auf den Einschätzungen von 351 Verwaltungsmanagern aus der Ministerialverwaltung von Bund und Ländern basiert. Eine statistische Analyse dieser Daten kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass die typische reformbereite Führungskraft intrinsisch motiviert ist, auf eine aufgabenorientierte Führung setzt sowie Arbeitserfahrung außerhalb der öffentlichen Verwaltung und keine juristische Ausbildung besitzt. Sie arbeitet auf oberer Hierarchieebene, ist jedoch eher mit Fach- als mit Führungsaufgaben beschäftigt.

Vielmehr sollten Marken zudem über einen signifikanten Zusatznutzen verfügen, welcher grundsätzlich sozialpsychologischer Natur ist. Dieser in der Marken­persönlichkeit verdichtete symbolische Kern spricht die zentralen menschlichen Bedürfnisse nach Selbstdefinition und Selbstausdruck an, da Individuen sich als „soziale Tiere“ grundlegend über die Zugehörigkeit zu sozialen Gruppen definieren. Einstellungen relevanter Bezugspersonen zum eigenen Selbstbild sind fundamental für die persönliche Standort­bestimmung. Genauso leiten Konsumenten symbolische Marken­bedeutungen von ihren Bezugsgruppen ab. Individuen evaluieren demnach permanent, inwiefern die wahrgenommene Markenpersönlichkeit zum aktuellen bzw. angestrebten Selbstkonzept passt. Diese dargestellten Phänomene unterliegen dem kulturellen Einfluss der jeweiligen Gesellschaft, in der sie sich herausbilden. Die symbolischen Bedeutungen von Selbstbildern und Marken formen sich also zwischen Kulturen bspw. unter unterschiedlich stark geartetem sozialem Einfluss. Die Untersuchung geht demnach der Frage auf den Grund, inwiefern die soziale Umgebung Einfluss auf die Wahrnehmung symbolischer Markenaspekte und deren wahrgenommener Kongruenz zum Selbstkonzept von Konsumenten ausübt. Darüber hinaus eruiert der Verfasser intensiv, ob und in welchem Umfang die Empfänglichkeit für die verschiedenen Facetten sozialen Einflusses von der Enkulturation des Konsumenten abhängt. Es werden somit Forderungen aus Marketing- und Konsumenten­verhaltens­forschung adressiert, wonach die sozialen sowie die kulturellen Einflusskomponenten stärker zu berücksichtigen sind, um ein vollständigeres Bild von Konsum­entscheidungen zu erlangen. Die zahlreichen theoretischen und empirischen Erkenntnisse der Studie weisen auf wichtige Implikationen für die intra- und interkulturelle Segmentierung von Zielgruppen hin. Empfehlungen für die strategische Positionierung von symbolischen Markenkernen und deren Kommunikation werden ebenfalls geliefert.
