Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History of corporations is replete with stories of fundamental organizational change in the face of breakthroughs in technology and significant economic changes. Yet pervasive digitalization, i.e., a socio-technical process whereby digital technology capabilities are embedded into everyday artifacts and life, altering everyday experiences and interactions, brings about substantial changes in environmental conditions not seen before. The fast-paced, unbounded, ongoing, and potentially disruptive nature of change in today’s digitized world is fueled by the generativity of digital innovation, forcing incumbents across industries to transform and adapt. This cumulative dissertation presents five studies that provide a comprehensive understanding on the emerging phenomenon of digital transformation of business. With the help of primary data collected from more than 40 industry experts as well as secondary data, it aimed at explaining through a configurational perspective how, in certain contextual conditions, a combination of particular mechanisms, may lead automotive manufacturing organizations to embark on a sustainable digital transformation of their business. Overall, the findings derive a holistic view of the investigated phenomenon, indicating that it stems from socio-technical developments in the macro, meso, and micro levels of business, fostering incumbents to build new mechanisms that activate digital transformation capabilities to rapidly respond to such socio-technical developments, fundamentally altering their traditional business logics. Nevertheless, research on the phenomenon of digital transformation is in its infancy in both information systems and organizational science research, therefore more in-depth empirical accounts are still needed.

This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Engineering - Automotive Engineering, grade: 1,5, University of Applied Sciences Aalen, language: English, abstract: Digital transformation and disruptive business models of new market players create unprecedented uncertainty in the automotive industry. One of the main reasons is the lack of understanding for the need of adapting business models to a changing business environment due to new technologies and shifting customer wants and needs. Even the automotive industry is not spared from digital Darwinism, according to which it is not the strongest or most intelligent of a species that survives, but rather the one that adapts best to change. What opportunities do OEMs have to transform their business models? How can best practices be used to generate new value creation, and what influence does the transformation of the business model have on the ecosystem? What role will the dealer play in the future, and how can he still deliver added value to the OEM? This paper provides an in-depth insight into the world of automotive sales, as well as a detailed analysis of the status quo. Best practices based on successful business model transformations of the top tier OEMs are the basis for a deeper understanding and serve other companies as foundation for developing digital business models. The goal of this paper is to examine the impact of digital transformation on the dealer business model and how they can continue to deliver value to the OEM. For this purpose, guided expert interviews are conducted with 16 experts from various areas of the automotive industry. Subsequently, a qualitative content analysis according to Mayring will be used to assess the challenges and impacts of the agent business model and to develop improvement measures and key topics that offer added value for OEMs. The results of this thesis support dealers in understanding their future role in the automotive industry and show design recommendations for a future-proof business model.

Download or read book The Global Automotive Industry written by Paul Nieuwenhuis and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The automotive industry is still one of the world's largest manufacturing sectors, but it suffers from being very technology-focused as well as being relatively short-term focused. There is little emphasis within the industry and its consultancy and analyst supply network on the broader social and economic impacts of automobility and of the sector that provides it. The Global Automotive Industry addresses this need and is a first port of call for any academic, official or consultant wanting an overview of the state of the industry. An international team of specialist researchers, both from academia and business, review and analyse the key issues that make vehicle manufacturing still the world’s premier manufacturing sector, closely tied in with the fortunes of both established and newly emerging economies. In doing so, it covers issues related to manufacturing, both established practices as well as new developments; issues relating to distribution, marketing and retail, vehicle technologies and regulatory trends; and, crucially, labour practices and the people who build cars. In all this it explains both how the current situation arose and also likely future trajectories both in terms of social and regulatory trends, as the technological, marketing and labour practice responses to those, leading in many cases to the development of new business models. Key features Provides a global overview of the automotive industry, covering its current state and considering future challenges Contains contributions from international specialists in the automotive sector Presents current research and sets this in an historical and broader industry context Covers threats to the industry, including globalization, economic and environmental sustainability The Global Automotive Industry is a must-have reference for researchers and practitioners in the automotive industry and is an excellent source of information for business schools, governments, and graduate and undergraduate students in automotive engineering.

Download or read book Success factors for digital transformation written by Johannes Schmidt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,3, Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences (Wiesbaden Business School), language: English, abstract: The main goal of this thesis is to thoroughly investigate what digital transformation is and which general success factors exist for businesses. It then collates in a concise way whether and to what extent selected German car manufacturers comply with these success factors. "Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road"“ - Stewart Brand This metaphor skillfully illustrates what happens to businesses that do not take part in technological progression: they get obliterated. In addition, the cycle of new technologies is spinning faster and faster ever since, making it increasingly difficult for companies to survive and flourish. As evidence for this situation the average longevity of businesses in the S&P 500 index can be adduced. While in 1964, in average, a business would stay 33 years in the index, the duration went down to 24 years in 2016. It is estimated that this number will be cut in half by the year 2027. The major force behind this in the recent past is the digital transformation. Just a few years ago it was common standard to rent a movie in a video rental store, buy books at the local book store and to take pictures with analogue cameras. Among the most famous businesses in these markets were Blockbuster, Borders and Kodak. Nowadays, they are immaterial. The first two filed for bankruptcy and the latter is still trying to salvage itself. All of them share the same fate: they underestimated the change that came with digital innovations. In their place digital champions now reign: Netflix, Amazon and Samsung. If a similar fate would befall the German automotive industry, it would be devastating for the whole economy as over 1.8 million jobs are directly or indirectly dependent on it. In fact, among the four highest grossing companies in Germany 2017 were three car manufacturers. The extreme significance of this industry is evident.
