Sufficiency in Business
Businesses want to be sustainable but how can they promote sufficiency? Sufficiency-oriented business models focus on creating sustainable value, promoting reduced resource consumption and adjusting production volumes to planetary boundaries. The contributors to this volume present real-life examples of sufficiency-oriented companies across diverse industries. These experts share their insights on sufficiency strategies in business, barriers and opportunities discovered, and the impact on customer behavioural change. They address the far-reaching changes in business, society, and policy required for this paradigm shift and suggest future research directions.

Co-Creation of High-Tech Products in the B2B Domain
Leontin Karl Grafmüller explores how companies can better manage co-creation in the B2B high-tech domain. Co-creation is an active, creative and social collaboration process between customers and providers, in which customers become active participants in innovation processes of a firm to jointly develop new products. The co-creation of high-tech products poses several challenges related to high product complexity such as the time intensity or incorrect specifications. The author investigates this topic from different angles and showcases how the challenges involved are faced to enhance both the efficiency and efficacy of the co-creation of high-tech products in the B2B domain.
Towards Sustainable Customization: Bridging Smart Products and Manufacturing Systems
This book features state-of-the-art contributions from two well-established conferences: Changeable, Agile, Reconfigurable and Virtual Production Conference (CARV2020) and Mass Customization and Personalization Conference (MCPC2020). Together, they focus on the joint design, development, and management of products, production systems, and business for sustainable customization and personalization. The book covers a large range of topics within this domain, ranging from industrial success factors to original contributions within the field.
Innovation, Internationalization and Entrepreneurship
Over the past years, businesses have had to tackle the issues caused by numerous forces from political, technological and societal environment. The changes in the global market and increasing uncertainty require us to focus on disruptive innovations and to investigate this phenomenon from different perspectives. The benefits of innovations are related to lower costs, improved efficiency, reduced risk, and better response to the customers’ needs due to new products, services or processes. On the other hand, new business models expose various risks, such as cyber risks, operational risks, regulatory risks, and others. Therefore, we believe that the entrepreneurial behavior and global mindset of decision-makers significantly contribute to the development of innovations, which benefit by closing the prevailing gap between developed and developing countries. Thus, this Special Issue contributes to closing the research gap in the literature by providing a platform for a scientific debate on innovation, internationalization and entrepreneurship, which would facilitate improving the resilience of businesses to future disruptions.

Wasser als Gemeinsames
Wasserkonflikte sind insbesondere in Zeiten von Klimawandel, Ressourcenübernutzung und sozialen Verwerfungen mitunter folgenschwer. Johannes Euler begibt sich auf die Suche nach den ökonomischen und sozialen Ursachen von Wasserkonflikten sowie nach Möglichkeiten, diesen Ursachen entgegenzuwirken und gleichzeitig konstruktiv mit vorhandenen Konflikten umzugehen. Dabei zeigt er theoretisch und empirisch die Potenziale und Probleme von Commoning als Form der Wasserbewirtschaftung jenseits von Markt und Staat auf. Durch die Verknüpfung von Wirtschafts-, Nachhaltigkeits- und Konfliktforschung liefert er hoffnungsvolle Erkenntnisse für die Wasserwirtschaft und alternativökonomische Praxis.
Interaktive Wertschöpfung kompakt
Dieses Lehrbuch vermittelt in komprimierter Form die wesentlichen Inhalte des Standardwerkes“ Interaktive Wertschöpfung“ von Ralf Reichwald und Frank Piller. Unternehmerische Wertschöpfung findet heute zunehmend nicht mehr sequentiell im Sinne einer klassischen Wertschöpfungskette statt, sondern interaktiv und iterativ zwischen einem fokalen Unternehmen und externen Mitwirkenden. Vor allem Kunden und Nutzer werden selbst aktiv (Co-Creation). Dies gilt für die Forschung und Entwicklung neuer Produkte und Dienstleistungen (Open Innovation) genauso wie für operative Wertschöpfungsprozesse (Mass Customization). Die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Unternehmen und Externen wird dabei in vielen Fällen anders organisiert. Statt Aufgaben zu verteilen bzw. anzuweisen, reagieren die Beitragenden auf einen offenen Aufruf zur Mitwirkung und selektieren selbst, wann und wie sie sich beteiligen (Crowdsourcing). Die erweiterte Co-Autorenschaft mit Frank Piller, Kathrin Möslein, Christoph Ihl und Ralf Reichwald bildet für die Weiterentwicklung dieses Buches eine neue konzeptionelle Basis. .
Alles KI?
Das wichtige Einstiegswerk zum Mega-Trend „Künstliche Intelligenz“ Während die einen in Künstlicher Intelligenz unseren Untergang sehen, und die anderen begeistert von ungeahnten Möglichkeiten schwärmen, sind sich in einer Tatsache doch alle einig: KI ist längst keine ferne Zukunftsvision mehr. Sie hat eine Zeitenwende eingeläutet, und schon in den nächsten Jahren entscheidet sich, ob sie zum Fluch oder Segen wird. Künstliche Intelligenz ist bereits überall im Einsatz – oft ohne, dass wir es wissen. Sie übernimmt sowohl im Alltag als auch in der Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft vielfältige Aufgaben: ∙ Gekoppelt mit Sensoren bestimmter Fitnesstracker überwacht die KI Körperfu...
