The way in which brands are economically represented in the context of financial reporting is controversial in theory and practice. This holds especially against the background of the ever- increasing importance of intangible assets. Brands and the economic success associated with them are thus regarded as a key variable for overall corporate success: cash flows can be accelerated and expanded through the use of brand-strategic options, while existing risks may be mitigated. In addition to a large number of theoretical definitions, the determination of brand value from both a marketing and an accounting perspective is also characterized by a complex interaction of numerous influencing factors. This is where the International Accounting Standards IAS 38: "Intangible Assets" (isolated acquisition of a brand) and IFRS 3: "Business Combinations" (acquisition of a brand as part of a business combination) take effect: These are intended to ensure a comparable and reliable "true and fair view" for the presentation of intangible assets in international accounting. In addition to various recognition criteria, the accounting regulation here also includes the accounting valuation of intangible assets and thus also of brands. In principle, valuation in accordance with IAS 38 is based on acquisition costs. The determination of the operating life for impact evaluation is highly controversial both in literature and in practice. Under IFRS 3, acquisition costs are to be replaced by the fair value. Regardless of the method used, possible subjectivity is one of the central issues. The current discussion approach of the International Accounting Standards Board also clearly shows the need for simplification and concretization that still exists for practice: In particular, the accounting distinction between goodwill and intangible assets is the subject of discussions with the Global Preparers Forum, among others. The interests of users, preparers and auditors of corporate financial reporting must be taken into account equally. In particular, the prohibition on recognizing self-created brands in the balance sheet makes it difficult to assess their value. Furthermore, it creates a weak point in the presentation of the true and fair view of a company's financial position and financial performance that is generally required. Regardless of the previous, the current rules provide preparers and users with a basic overview of existing intangible assets. Irrespective of how valuation is determined individually, the IASB's rules thus help to create a fundamental structure. In which approach the future discussion will result in remains open.
Die Einführung von Smart Glasses eröffnet neue Chancen für die Gestaltung zukünftiger Arbeitsprozesse. Bisher sind diese Technologien wenig erforscht und werden nur experimentell hinsichtlich einzelner Aspekte untersucht. Zur Priorisierung zukünftiger Forschungsthemen und Identifikation relevanter Problemstellungen für den Bereich der Wirtschaftsinformatik wurden daher explorative Fallstudien mit zwei Logistikdienstleistern durchgeführt. Zur Ermittlung relevanter Einsatzszenarien wurde eine Triangulation aus Experteninterviews, Beobachtungen und Fokusgruppen gewählt und durch eine systematische Literaturrecherche ergänzt. Die 36 resultierenden Anwendungsfälle wurden mithilfe einer Umfrage priorisiert und auf Basis ihrer qualitativen Aussagen bzgl. der Herausforderungen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse des Beitrags sind (1) Einsatzszenarien für Smart Glasses in der Logistik sowie (2) daraus abgeleitete Forschungsthemen für die Wirtschaftsinformatik. Somit leistet diese Studie einen Beitrag zur Forschung im Bereich des ganzheitlichen Designs von Dienstleistungssystemen und zukünftiger Aufgaben digitaler Arbeit.
As of the reporting year 2017, extended non-financial reporting requirements will apply to certain large companies within the EU on the basis of the EU-Directive 2014/95/EU. The aim is to provide an overview of selected regulations for the new non-financial statements. This includes the analysis of the German Sustainability Code as well as the German Accounting Standard No. 20. The analysis shows a tightening of disclosure on non-financial reporting and an increased focus of disclosures on non-financial concepts, objectives and measures. Hence, the risk management of a preparer gains in importance with regard to non-financial aspects of the business activity.
A structured hospital discharge management process can lead to a smoother transition to aftercare. In practice, providing continuity of nursing care after a stationary hospital stay is accompanied by numerous challenges. The presented study aims to point out the use cases and requirements for an IT system supporting the diverse tasks of the participating actors. Within the scope of a multi-method research design, the authors conducted and analysed stakeholder interviews, a shadowing, a systematic literature search and statutes in order to gain the presented results. This publication presents 37 requirements, grouped to 14 use cases. A process model in BPMN visualises the discharge management process. Further, the authors derived implications for practice and research. These can be used for the development, classification and assessment of IT systems. Therefore, this publication provides a significant contribution to the development of socio-technical systems within the health care domain.
Motorradfahrer/innen sind mechanischen Schwingungen ausgesetzt, die über Lenker, Fußrasten und Sitzbank übertragen werden. Mehr als drei Viertel der Motorradfahrer/innen berichtet in einer Umfrage über körperliche Symptome, die auf mechanische Schwingungen zurückgeführt werden können, aber über zwei Drittel der Fahrer/innen empfindet die Motorradvibrationen als nicht oder nur wenig störend. Messungen an verschiedensten in Deutschland und Europa üblichen Motorrädern zeigen im Hand-Arm- und Ganzkörperbereich Schwingungswerte, die zum Teil deutlich oberhalb des auf 8 h bezogenen Grenzwerts der Richtlinie 2002/44EG liegen. Vergleichsmessungen an einem Pkw führen bei gleichen Bedingungen zu erheblich geringeren Schwingungswerten. Motorräder im Dienstgebrauch bei Polizei und Johanniter Unfallhilfe können zu Tagesexpositionswerten oberhalb der Auslösewerte führen.
Sustainability is a growing megatrend in our society entailing an increasing importance of sustainable consumption. Consumers associate sustainable products with ecological and regional production including a high credibility. In order to take advantage of this trend manufacturers of sustainable foods must communicate the sustainability of their products via packaging and displays at the point of sale. The objective of this article is to examine how the design of display elements succeeds in conveying sustainability for a new organic juice. In addition, the perception of individual design elements of sustainable products is determined. To this end, a field study was carried out in a supermarket combining eye-tracking technology with a survey of 32 customers. At the entrance, customers were asked to buy a variety of the newly introduced "Emsländer" organic juice, and then participate in the survey. The results demonstrate that customers with a positive attitude towards sustainable food fixate individual display elements referring to sustainability components for longer and remember product features better. Hence, the positive attitude towards sustainable food results in a higher visual attention at the point of sale. These findings provide recommendations for the design of the display.
Design knowledge on smart glasses-based systems is scarce. Utilizing literature analysis on software development publications, insights from the design and implementation of four smart glasses-based systems and expert interviews, we elicited 16 design principles to provide guidance in the development of future service support systems. Heuristic Theorizing is an abductive Design Science Research method, hitherto far too little known or little noticed, which was applied to conduct the research. We contribute to theory and practice with applicable design principles to support the development of smart glasses-based systems. Phenomena known to have an impact on the adoption of smart glasses are addressed by these design principles.
Der Einsatz von Augmented-Reality-Headsets eröffnet vielfältige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und könnte auch in der Wundversorgung zur Anwendung kommen. Das Zusammenspiel mit der Nutzungsumgebung sowie die erweiterten Möglichkeiten der Interaktion erhöhen die Komplexität der Parameter, die bei der Gestaltung geeigneter Applikationen beachtet werden müssen. Daher verfolgt dieser Beitrag zwei Ziele. Als erstes werden Gestaltungsempfehlungen für Augmented-Reality-Applikationen für Headsets formuliert. Als zweites werden die zuvor formulierten Gestaltungsempfehlungen anhand eines Konzepts für eine Nutzeroberfläche zur Dokumentation chronischer Wunden demonstriert. Es wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Von den 629 gefundenen Publikationen konnten 15 als relevant identifiziert werden. Die Inhalte der Publikationen wurden mithilfe einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2015) analysiert. Insgesamt konnten zehn Gestaltungsempfehlungen für Augmented-Reality-Applikationen generiert und anhand des Anwendungsfalls, der Dokumentation chronischer Wunden, demonstriert werden. Die präsentierten Gestaltungsempfehlungen können als Basis für die Entwicklung von Augmented-Reality-Applikationen insbesondere mit dem Fokus auf Headsets genutzt werden.
Visitors to events attach great importance to the range of artists and their performances and the quality of their stay and services. To create a staging and, consequently, an emotionalization of the visitor, many action areas simultaneously take effect at an event. In this context, the customer satisfaction of visitors plays a major role for event organizers, which aims to generate a competitive advantage over other providers and be attractive for artists simultaneously. This article aims to analyse the perceived functional quality of service (QoS) during various events in a multi-purpose event venue. The analysis was based on 563 primary data samples. On the off chance, selected visitors were during the events recruited and interviewed using a standardized questionnaire. The data were collected during the break of five events. These events took place in the period from mid-November to mid-December 2019. This was supplemented by an online survey of enthusiastic fan club visitors who regularly watch handball matches within the event venue. The online survey was conducted in parallel with the surveys during November 2019. Overall, the results showed a high level of satisfaction among visitors regarding the QoS. In addition to services, exploratory factor analysis identified cleanliness as a satisfaction factor that significantly accounted for overall service satisfaction. Differences in the perception of both factors could be detected between the fan club visitors on the one hand and all other visitors of various events (comedy, music, sports) on the other. Based upon the results of this analysis, the event managers of this venue are enabled to employ target group-oriented improvements of individual services to consolidate and increase customer satisfaction.
