Die Nutzung des Controllings als zentrales Instrument zur Unternehmenssteuerung in der landwirtschaftlichen Branche in Österreich zeigt eine uneinheitliche Ausprägung. Während größere Betriebe das Controlling zur effektiven Steuerung einsetzen und dabei die Planung, Umsetzung und Anpassung betonen, vernachlässigen kleinere und mittlere Betriebe häufig die Nutzung von Controlling oder generellen Aufzeichnungen. Die Verwendung von Werkzeugen und Führungsinstrumenten variiert entsprechend den spezifischen Bedürfnissen und Rahmenbedingungen der Betriebe. Im Ackerbau spielt die langfristige Planung eine zentrale Rolle, während Gemüseanbaubetriebe Instrumente wie Liquiditätsplanung und Marktbeobachtung einsetzen. Tierhaltungsbetriebe führen interne Kalkulationen und Kostenabschätzungen durch. Auch die Planungsebenen und die Auswahl finanzieller Leistungskennzahlen unterscheiden sich in den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben. Die Messung der wirtschaftlichen Ergebnisse erfolgt mittels verschiedener Methoden wie Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung, doppelter Buchhaltung und Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung. Externe Faktoren wie Wetterbedingungen, Marktpreise und politische Veränderungen beeinflussen die Geschäftstätigkeit landwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen. Es bestehen sowohl verschiedene Herausforderungen für die zukünftige Unternehmensführung als auch Chancen in den Bereichen Effizienzsteigerung, Smart Farming, Direktvermarktung und Anpassung an den Klimawandel und regionale Märkte. Landwirte zeigen eine Bereitschaft zur Innovation und Offenheit für neue Lösungsansätze.
Although workplace climate has been already extensively studied, the research has not led to firm conclusions regarding leadership trainings referring to the awareness of psychological safety in a company and its influence on existing teams and the general work climate. The author used the already existing model of Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon (2003) and adjusted it with psychological safety as 4th climate item to develop hypothesen which can also be seen as a path analytic model. The model posied that climate affects individual level outcomes through its impact on cognitive and affective states. Therefore, the author wants to show the correlation between the 4 higher order facets of climate affect the individual levels of job performance, psychological well-being and withdrawal through their impact on orangizational commitment and job saitsfaction (Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon, 2003).
Der Fachkräftemangel stellt ein weit verbreitetes und zunehmendes Problem dar, das alle Wirtschaftsbereiche betrifft. Besonders in technischen Berufen gestaltet sich die Rekrutierung qualifizierter Mitarbeitenden als äußerst herausfordernd. Es wird immer deutlicher, dass es nicht ausreicht, lediglich Mitarbeiter:innen anzuwerben; vielmehr ist es von entscheidender Bedeutung, sie gezielt zu Fachkräften auszubilden. Trainee-Programme bieten eine Möglichkeit, diese Entwicklung zu fördern. Die vorliegende Masterarbeit widmet sich den Gestaltungselementen von Trainee- Programmen und bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über Definitionen, Methoden und Ausbildungselemente innerhalb dieser Programme. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich auf die Identifikation kritischer Erfolgsfaktoren technischer Trainee-Programme, indem sowohl in der qualitativen Forschung untersucht wird, inwiefern Vorarlberger Industrieunternehmen diese Gestaltungselemente in ihren bereits implementierten technischen Trainee-Programmen berücksichtigen und welche Erfahrungswerte bisher gesammelt wurden, als auch in der quantitativen Forschung speziell technische Hochschülerinnen und -studenten als Zielgruppe herangezogen werden. Die Ergebnisse dieser Forschungsarbeit liefern wertvolle Erkenntnisse und praxisorientierte Handlungsempfehlungen für Unternehmen bei der Gestaltung ihrer Trainee-Programme. Besonders betont wird die Bedeutung der individuellen Anpassung an die Bedürfnisse und Interessen der potenziellen Trainees, einschließlich ihrer fachlichen Schwerpunkte, Karriereziele und Lernpräferenzen. Mentoring, Networking und interne Zusammenarbeit werden als wichtige Elemente für eine umfassende Entwicklung der Trainees innerhalb des Programms hervorgehoben. Darüber hinaus wird empfohlen, ein flexibles Framework einzusetzen, das Standards und Richtlinien für die Trainee-Programme festlegt, aber gleichzeitig Raum für Anpassungen und individuelle Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten bietet. Diese Masterarbeit trägt dazu bei, das Verständnis für die Gestaltungselemente von Trainee- Programmen zu vertiefen und liefert wertvolle Erkenntnisse für Unternehmen in Vorarlberg und darüber hinaus. Durch die Ergänzung des Phasenmodells der Trainee-Programme mit den Ergebnissen der qualitativen und quantitativen Forschung werden praxisnah e Empfehlungen abgeleitet, um Trainee-Programme attraktiver zu gestalten. Dadurch wird eine gezielte Entwicklung von Fachkräften im Unternehmen ermöglicht und eine langfristige Bindung an das Unternehmen gefördert.
This thesis investigates the role of leadership behaviours of C-level executives in the context of post-M&A integration processes. The primary focus is on understanding the impact of specific leadership behaviours on inspiring desirable follower effects and facilitating emotional acceptance during organizational change. Drawing on the frameworks presented in “Six- Dimension Integrative Model of Leadership” and "The Six Domains of Leadership" developed by Sitkin et al., the study conducts expert interviews with managers from middle management who have recently experienced M&A integration. The answers are analysed in depth to identify the most effective leadership behaviours, highlighting those mentioned most frequently and those capable of triggering multiple follower effects simultaneously. The result is a list of behaviours that can serve as a guideline for C-level executives who want to foster desirable follower effects throughout the M&A integration journey.
Die vorliegende Arbeit betrachtet in wie weit die analysierten Berichterstattungen ausgewählter ATX Unternehmen die zukünftig zwingend zu erfüllenden europäischen Nachhaltigkeitsberichterstattungsstandards (ESRS) bereits in den Berichterstattungen des Geschäftsjahres 2022 erfüllen. Hierzu wird zuerst eine Einbettung der ESRS in die rechtliche Landkarte und deren Umsetzungszeitraum beschrieben, bevor die Gliederung und einzelnen ESRS vorgestellt werden. Der empirische Teil untersucht mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse die Berichterstattungen ausgewählter ATX Unternehmen hinlänglich der Einhaltung der im ersten Schritt der Umsetzung zwingend zu berücksichtigenden ESRS. Dabei geht die Auswertung sowohl auf Unterschiede zwischen den Berichten, sowie berichtsübergreifend auf die einzelnen Standards ein.
Through mandatory ESG (environmental, social, governance) reporting large companies must disclose their ESG activities showing how sustainability risks are incorporated in their decision-making and production processes. This disclosure obligation, however, does not apply to small and medium-sized enterprises (SME), creating a gap in the ESG dataset. Banks are therefore required to collect sustainability data of their SME customers independently to ensure complete ESG integration in the risk analysis process for loans. In this paper, we examine ESG risk analysis through a smart science approach laying the focus on possible value outcomes of sustainable smart services for banks as well as for their (SME) customers. The paper describes ESG factors, how services can be derived from them, targeted metrics of ESG and an ESG Service Creation Framework (business ecosystem building, process model, and value creation). The description of an exemplary use case highlighting the necessary ecosystem for service creation as well as the created value concludes the paper.
The role of entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in the current zeitgeist is to drive innovation, re-shape rigid, established processes in business as well as for consumers. They use new viewpoints to pioneer new (business) models which focus on ‘smartness’ rather than the purely monetary and short-sighted models of yesteryear. Fostering and supporting the culture of this current zeitgeist is a mayor challenge for entre- and intrapreneurial support infrastructures, namely startup centres and innovation hubs of universities and other public institutions as well as innovation centres of private companies. Hereby, support may range from access to funding over provision of resources such as offices or computing hardware to coaching in the development of business ideas and strategic roadmaps for product and service deployment. In this paper, we focus on describing the status-quo of afore- mentioned support infrastructures in Vorarlberg and the Lake Constance region, then extend the scope to existing (international) approaches for aiding founders and inno- vators in the development of smart services. An analysis of success stories of the Vorarlberg startup centre ‘startupstube’ and other initiatives including their compar- ison to international counterparts builds the basis for a methodological framework for (service science) coaching in entre- and intrapreneurial support infrastructures. The paper is concluded by the description of a framework for choosing the right methods and tools to create service value in entre-/intrapreneurship based upon tested, proven know-how and for defining support infrastructure needs based upon pre-defined stakeholder and target groups as well as the (industry) sectors of the innovators.
In this paper, a 256-channel, 10-GHz arrayed waveguide gratings demultiplexer for ultra-dense wavelength division multiplexing was designed using an in-house developed tool called AWG-Parameters. The AWG demultiplexer was designed for a central wavelength of 1550 nm and the structure was simulated in PHASAR tool from Optiwave. Two different AWG designs were developed and the influence of the design parameters on the AWG performance was studied.

The control measures for the COVID-19 pandemic, early 2020, caused a chain reaction that eventually led to a shortage of components in the electronic manufacturing industry. A lack of components meant that the production and sales were interrupted or even stopped. For many electronic manufacturing firms, this was seen as a crisis. A crisis is mostly divided into three phases called the pre-crisis phase, crisis management and post-crisis phase. The pre-crisis phase involves an environmental assessment and setting up of crisis management teams, and plan. The crisis management phase has to do with the collection and interpretation of information and the mitigation of the crisis. The post-crisis phase looks at learnings from the crisis. In this paper it was investigated how the electronic manufacturing firms in Vorarlberg managed the crisis in the period between 2020 and 2022. The overall aim was to get a full understanding of how it affected the operations regarding the respective crisis teams and which factors were considered most important for setting up the teams. Two basic criteria which had to be over-come was the uncertainty and lack of time. It was seen that even though the fundamental structure did not change, crisis teams were added in the form of a crisis management team and task forces. The task forces played a major role in getting an understanding of the problem and the effect it has on the business. The crisis management team, which includes high level managers from all affected functional areas, had to re-evaluate the high level strategy and decide what needs to be done, and who will be doing it. In order to do so, they needed to understand what the priorities are regarding components and products and then decide on the priorities regarding affected business. The new strategy was then handed down to the task forces for implementation. A major focus of this paper was also on decision making and how everything contributed to making decisions that had the right effect in resolving the financial crisis for the organizations.
Supply shortages faced in products and resources from semiconductors to natural gas in recent years have had impact massive on global economy, but such challenges are not new for supply chain professionals. Many major events in the past have disrupted supply chains: 9/11 attack in New York, Tsunami in Japan to name a few, but COVID19 have had the biggest and widespread impact in the modern times. Even though supply chain resilience being a term coined in early 2000’s, its usage and importance has increased since then. With the curiosity of assessing the current state of sup-ply chain resilience literature and finding a resilience measurement method which is a one-fit for all supply chains in the manufacturing industry of Vorarlberg, the following research project was undertaken. Research is carried out with mixed methods, using a systematic literature review followed by expert interviews. In the conclusion of the research the author argues that there is a significant difference in the understanding of the term resilience within industry, there is a lack on the need for a meas-ure for resilience. The ways in which the structure of an organization impacts the level of resilience, foreseen benefits of digitalization and technologies for resilience are also dis-cussed. A comparative analysis on the SCR measurement methods discovered in literature, resulted in recommending Resilience index for on-time delivery proposed by Carvalho et al for the mentioned industry.
