Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Mendel University (Economics), language: English, abstract: The goal of this paper is to outline the main challenges of established companies in the field of business model innovation. By conducting an empirical analysis through 30 expert interviews insights are generated in the field of dealing with disruptive innovation, dominant mindset and business model innovation.At first, the focus of the research is to identify the main levers for enabling disruptive innovation through the eyes of established companies. Secondly, a special focus of the interviews is to identify how an established organizational mindset affects the organizations behavior towards disruption. Finally the main difficulties of established organizations regarding business model innovation is outlined.According to the research goal, the main insight regarding disruptive innovation is that 25 percent of the experts point out that they are lacking a supportive environment for dealing with disruptive innovation in the correct way. In the area of dominant logic, over 50 percent are concerned how their large, traditional and process-heavy firms can overcome their dominant mindset in order to stay competitive. Finally, 60 percent highlighted in the area of business model innovation that business innovation projects with experimentation without a reporting structure is key.The analysis of the expert interviews reveal that established companies are aware of disruptive trends, however are not sure how to design the right environment for building the right capabilities. Secondly, it also highlights that the companies are aware of their dominant mindset as a key success factor for their business model innovation initiatives, but do not know how to create cultural shift to overcome it.Finally, the research clearly demonstrates that the main challenges of established companies in business model innovation lays in the interlinkage between disruptive innovation, dominant mindset and business model innovation itself which needs more attention by research in the future.

Seminar paper from the year 2011 in the subject Communications - Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing, Social Media, grade: 1,3, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: "Conjoint analysis has become one of today¿s most widelyused marketing research tools.It goes beyond simple surveys, providing a more realistic approach to understanding customers attitudes, opinions, and behaviors."(Orme, 2010, p. 7)The author Orme (2010, p. 7) emphasises in his book the growing popularity of conjoint analysis in marketing research. According to Orme (2010, p. 1) the consumer preferences are changing constantly with an increasing speed. Therefore many marketing managers ask themselves, how they could asses client preferences? Which product characteristics are most important to the customer and what price brings the maximum profit?From Wilcox¿s (2003, p. 1) point of view conjoint analysis gives answers to these most critical questions of marketing research. The conjoint analysis is a marketing research technique designed to help managers determine the value system of clients and potential customers (Wilcox, 2003, p. 1). Introduced as a fundamental measurement method by the mathematical psychologists Luce and Tukey (1964, p. 1) more than forty years ago, conjoint analysis presents combination of features in product profiles and ask people to rank or make choice among of them. Finally, the results can be used for new product design, targeting, pricing and market segmentation (Dolan, 1990, p. 1).However, there arises the question what is conjoint analysis really and why it has become so popular in contrast to other marketing research techniques? In order to answer these questions, section 2.1 defines the terms marketing and market research and outlines the contrast between them. Section 2.2 gives an overview of different preference measurement techniques before it deals with the conjoint analysis itself. Chapter 3 presents the main chapter of this assignment. At first, it gives a brief overview of the role of conjoint analysis in the marketing concept. The next two sections illustrate an exemplary conjoint analysis survey and show the usage of conjoint analysis for the design of marketing strategies. Moreover chapter 4 discusses the advantages and disadvantages of conjoint analysis. Finally chapter 5 summarizes the basic insights and gives a short perspective.

¿Information Systems (IS) as a discipline draws on diverse areas including, technology, organisational theory, management and social science. The field is recognized as very broad and encompassing many themes and areas. However, the development of artefacts, or information systems development (ISD), in the broadest sense, is a central concern of the discipline. Significantly, ISD impacts on the organisational and societal contexts through the use of the artefacts constructed by the development. Today, that impact also needs to be evaluated in terms of its effects on the environment. Sustainable, or "green," IT is a catch-all term used to describe the development, manufacture, management, use and disposal of ICT in a way that minimizes damage to the environment. As a result, the term has many different meanings, depending on the role assumed in the life span of the ICT artefact. The theme of the proposed work is to critically examine the whole range of issues around ISD from the perspective of sustainability. Sustainable IT is an emerging theme in academic research and industry practice in response to an individual concern for the environment and the embryonic regulatory environments being enacted globally to address the environmental impact of ICT. In this work we intend to bring together in one volume the diverse research around the development of sustainable IS.
