Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich BWL - Controlling, Note: 1,3, FOM Essen, Hochschule fur Oekonomie & Management gemeinnutzige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen fruher Fachhochschule, Veranstaltung: Controlling, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Unternehmen, die auf den heutigen globalisierten Markten erfolgreich agieren wollen, sind dazu gezwungen, ihre Prozesse so zu gestalten, dass sie sowohl aus kostenrechnerischer, zeitlicher und qualitativer Perspektive effizient sind und zudem effektiv umgesetzt werden. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, genugt es nicht nur, die direkt betroffenen Prozesse zu optimieren. Vielmehr muss es das Anliegen zukunftsorientierter und nach andauernder Wettbewerbsfahigkeit strebender Unternehmen sein, ihre gesamte Prozesskette zu straffen und den Gedanken der Effizienzsteigerung durch Prozessoptimierung als Unternehmensziel zu kommunizieren. So werden sowohl Mitarbeiter, als auch die Geschafts- / Betriebsfuhrung in Bezug auf die hohen Anforderungen der Markte und den damit einhergehenden erkennbaren Optimierungspotentialen sensibilisiert. Diese Sensibilisierung ist eine der Grundvoraussetzungen fur eine erfolgreiche Implementierung der gewahlten Schritte der Prozessoptimierung und fuhrt zu einer fortlaufenden Konzentration auf die Erhaltung bzw. Weiterentwicklung des erreichten Ergebnisses. Doch wird der Weg hin zu einer effizienten Prozessorganisation durch die zahlreichen exogenen Einflussfaktoren immer komplexer. Daher werden Instrumente und Methoden benotigt, die Wege aufzeigen, um eine Neugestaltung bzw. Umstrukturierung durchzufuhren. Dies ist jedoch kein neu auftretendes Problem, sondern eine Situation, mit der sich Unternehmen schon seit Jahrzehnten konfrontiert sehen. So entwickelten insbesondere japanische Unternehmen, allen voran die Toyota Motors Company, bereits in den 1950er Jahren erste Konzepte, um ihre Prozesse effektiver zu gestalten und unwirtschaftliche Vorgange zu eliminieren. Aus diesen ersten Konzepten heraus wur

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business organizations, both public and private, are constantly challenged to innovate and generate real value. CIOs are uniquely well-positioned to seize this opportunity and adopt the role of business transformation partner, helping their organizations to grow and prosper with innovative, IT-enabled products, services and processes. To succeed in this, however, the IT function needs to manage an array of inter-related and inter-dependent disciplines focused on the generation of business value. In response to this need, the Innovation Value Institute, a cross-industry international consortium, developed the IT Capability Maturity Framework™ (IT-CMF™). This second edition of the IT Capability Maturity Framework™ (IT-CMF™) is a comprehensive suite of tried and tested practices, organizational assessment approaches, and improvement roadmaps covering key IT capabilities needed to optimize value and innovation in the IT function and the wider organization. It enables organizations to devise more robust strategies, make better-informed decisions, and perform more effectively, efficiently and consistently. IT-CMF is: An integrated management toolkit covering 36 key capability management disciplines, with organizational maturity profiles, assessment methods, and improvement roadmaps for each. A coherent set of concepts and principles, expressed in business language, that can be used to guide discussions on setting goals and evaluating performance. A unifying (or umbrella) framework that complements other, domain-specific frameworks already in use in the organization, helping to resolve conflicts between them, and filling gaps in their coverage. Industry/sector and vendor independent. IT-CMF can be used in any organizational context to guide performance improvement. A rigorously developed approach, underpinned by the principles of Open Innovation and guided by the Design Science Research methodology, synthesizing leading academic research with industry practitioner expertise
Download or read book Experience Design written by Marc Hassenzahl and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his In the blink of an eye, Walter Murch, the Oscar-awarded editor of The English Patient, Apocalypse Now, and many other outstanding movies, devises the Rule of Six -- six criteria for what makes a good cut. On top of his list is "to be true to the emotion of the moment," a quality more important than advancing the story or being rhythmically interesting. The cut has to deliver a meaningful, compelling, and emotion-rich "experience" to the audience. Because, "what they finally remember is not the editing, not the camerawork, not the performances, not even the story---it's how they felt." Technology for all the right reasons applies this insight to the design of interactive products and technologies -- the domain of Human-Computer Interaction, Usability Engineering, and Interaction Design. It takes an experiential approach, putting experience before functionality and leaving behind oversimplified calls for ease, efficiency, and automation or shallow beautification. Instead, it explores what really matters to humans and what it needs to make technology more meaningful. The book clarifies what experience is, and highlights five crucial aspects and their implications for the design of interactive products. It provides reasons why we should bother with an experiential approach, and presents a detailed working model of experience useful for practitioners and academics alike. It closes with the particular challenges of an experiential approach for design. The book presents its view as a comprehensive, yet entertaining blend of scientific findings, design examples, and personal anecdotes. Table of Contents: Follow me! / Crucial Properties of Experience / Three Good Reasons to Consider Experience / A Model of Experience / Reflections on Experience Design
Download or read book Corporate Data Quality written by Boris Otto and published by epubli. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data is the foundation of the digital economy. Industry 4.0 and digital services are producing so far unknown quantities of data and make new business models possible. Under these circumstances, data quality has become the critical factor for success. This book presents a holistic approach for data quality management and presents ten case studies about this issue. It is intended for practitioners dealing with data quality management and data governance as well as for scientists. The book was written at the Competence Center Corporate Data Quality (CC CDQ) in close cooperation between researchers from the University of St. Gallen and Fraunhofer IML as well as many representatives from more than 20 major corporations. Chapter 1 introduces the role of data in the digitization of business and society and describes the most important business drivers for data quality. It presents the Framework for Corporate Data Quality Management and introduces essential terms and concepts. Chapter 2 presents practical, successful examples of the management of the quality of master data based on ten cases studies that were conducted by the CC CDQ. The case studies cover every aspect of the Framework for Corporate Data Quality Management. Chapter 3 describes selected tools for master data quality management. The three tools have been distinguished through their broad applicability (method for DQM strategy development and DQM maturity assessment) and their high level of innovation (Corporate Data League). Chapter 4 summarizes the essential factors for the successful management of the master data quality and provides a checklist of immediate measures that should be addressed immediately after the start of a data quality management project. This guarantees a quick start into the topic and provides initial recommendations for actions to be taken by project and line managers. Please also check out the book's homepage at cdq-book.org/
