Nach dem Auslaufen der 20-jährigen Förderung über eine Einspeisevergütung im Rahmen des Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetzes (EEG) gibt es für deutsche Biogasanlagen diverse technische Möglichkeiten für einen Weiterbetrieb. Neben der Wirtschaftlichkeit sind die Anlagenbetreibenden ein wesentlicher Entscheidungsfaktor für den Weiterbetrieb der Anlage. Somit ergibt sich die zentrale Fragestellung „Welche Treiber und Hemmnisse für Betreibende von Bestandsbiogasanlagen in Deutschland bestehen in den verschiedenen Nutzungspfaden für Biogas, sowie für kooperative Geschäftsmodelle?“. Die Erkenntnisse können unter anderem dafür genutzt werden, die Situation der Anlagenbetreibenden besser zu verstehen, um notwendige Unterstützung für einen Weiterbetrieb, beispielsweise durch Kommunen, zur Verfügung stellen zu können.
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.
The expiry of national subsidies for biogas in Germany means that new business models are needed. Furthermore, hydrogen is expected to make a significant contribution to the energy transition in the future. Therefore, potentials for the production of hydrogen from biogas are identified in this study. A joint upgrading infrastructure is developed that models the collaborative upgrading of biogas to hydrogen for existing biogas plants with subsequent gas grid injection. Furthermore, regions are identified that are particularly suitable as pioneer regions in Germany due to a high potential for green hydrogen production and comparatively low costs for hydrogen production. The modeling shows that collaborative upgrading achieves significant cost savings compared to single-farm upgrading. Furthermore, the potential for hydrogen production from biogas and the costs of upgrading differ significantly within the administrative districts in Germany.
The Corona pandemic confronted societies with several unexpected constraints that had the effect of making certain goods much scarcer than before. Withdrawal from Russian oil and gas supplies has a similar effect. Carbon abatement can also be seen as a deliberate choice to make certain goods scarc-er than they actually are. These parallels suggests that it may be worthwhile to take a close look at societies’ responses to all three challenges. This paper makes an attempt to synthetize empirical and theoretical insights regarding these scarcity shocks from a well-being perspective, i.e. replacing the prevalent welfare economic focus on production and consumption with a focus on sustainable well-being.
Taking the case of Germany, it will be argued that the observed responses to all three challenges reflect a focus on maintaining incomes and production and that therefore these responses risk being detrimental to sustainable wellbeing and even to economic stability. This is particularly relevant if carbon abatement requires not only transient material sacrifices but lasting and significant reduc-tions of consumption.
It will be argued that the impact of these new scarcities will be much less problematic in a society that acknowledges the priority of sustainable wellbeing over production and consumption measures. Such a society would still need to incur material sacrifices, but these need not translate into a loss of wellbeing if economic conditions and social norms adapt. This will also be more sustainable not only in terms of ecological impact, but also in terms of debt, inflation and inequality.
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.
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.
