Publikation Förderung von AI Literacy als Schlüsselkompetenz. Ein Pilotprojekt(wbv Media, 2024) Felder, Juliane; Heuss, SabinaDie Einführung in das wissenschaftliche Schreiben an der Hochschule für Wirtschaft (HSW) der Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz (FHNW) stellt Studierende vor Herausforderungen. Insbesondere seit der Einführung von Schreibtools mit Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) werden zusätzliche Kompetenzen wie AI Literacy benötigt. Genau hier setzt das Pilotprojekt der HSW an. Um den kritisch-reflektierten Umgang mit KI-Tools zu fördern, wurden im Rahmen des Projekts Workshops entwickelt, die flexibel in der Lehre eingesetzt werden können. Das Projekt bietet somit einen innovativen Ansatz, um Studierende und Dozierende auf die Anforderungen der KI-Ära vorzubereiten, und fördert die Entwicklung von AI Literacy als Schlüsselkompetenz.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation From potential to action. Strategies for supporting female founders in the pre-start-up phase(2024) Schmutz, Therese; Meyer, Dario; Merz, Daniel; Meyer, Rolf; Buisine, Stéphanie04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Predictors of workplace satisfaction. Working onsite versus working from home(Springer Cham, 2024) Wittmann, Xinhua; Klyushina, Daria; Hinkelmann, Knut; Smuts, HanlieThe Covid-19 pandemic has not only taught us about viral infections, but also provided employers with unique opportunities to experiment with different work modes. What leads employees to be more satisfied: working onsite or working from home? The aim of this paper is to elucidate how the work environment impacts workplace satisfaction. In the framework of Herzberg’s motivation theory, we define the physical, digital, and social environment as the most important hygiene factors. In our study, we investigate the relationship between these hygiene factors and workplace satisfaction. Based on the survey data from office workers in Switzerland, we identify the predictors of workplace satisfaction for working onsite and working from home respectively. Our statistical analysis shows that the three hygiene factors have a significant positive impact on workplace satisfaction both for working onsite and working from home. Specifically, the workplace design in the context of the physical environment stands out to have the strongest effect on the workplace satisfaction for onsite work. In contrast, for working from home, the software availability in the context of the digital environment exerts the greatest influence on workplace satisfaction. Thus, workplace satisfaction can be maximized by targeted optimization of specific aspects of the work environment depending on the work mode.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation SMEs talk - startups walk.

COH-FIT is an online, international, anonymous survey measuring changes in well-being (WHO-5) and a composite psychopathology P-score, and their associations with COVID-19 deaths/restrictions, 12 a-priori defined risk individual/cumulative factors, and coping strategies during COVID-19 pandemic (26/04/2020-26/ 06/2022) in 30 languages (representative, weighted non-representative, adults). T-test, χ2, penalized cubic splines, linear regression, correlation analyses were conducted. Analyzing 121,066/142,364 initiated surveys, WHO-5/P-score worsened intra-pandemic by 11.1±21.1/13.2±17.9 points (effect size d=0.50/0.60) (comparable results in representative/weighted non-probability samples). Persons with WHO-5 scores indicative of depression screening (<50, 13% to 32%) and major depression (<29, 3% to 12%) significantly increased. WHO-5 worsened from those with mental disorders, female sex, COVID-19-related loss, low-income country location, physical disorders, healthcare worker occupations, large city location, COVID-19 infection, unemployment, firstgeneration immigration, to age=18-29 with a cumulative effect. Similar findings emerged for P-score. Changes were significantly but minimally related to COVID-19 deaths, returning to near-pre-pandemic values after >2 years. The most subjectively effective coping strategies were exercise and walking, internet use, social contacts. Identified risk groups, coping strategies and outcome trajectories can inform global public health strategies.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Evaluation of synthetic data generators on complex tabular data(Springer, 2024) Thees, Oscar; Novak, Jiri; Templ, Matthias; Domingo-Ferrer, Josep; Önen, MelekSynthetic data generators are widely utilized to produce synthetic data, serving as a complement or replacement for real data. However, the utility of data is often limited by its complexity. The aim of this paper is to show their performance using a complex data set that includes cluster structures and complex relationships. We compare different synthesizers such as synthpop, Synthetic Data Vault, simPop, Mostly AI, Gretel, Realtabformer, and arf, taking into account their different methodologies with (mostly) default settings, on two properties: syntactical accuracy and statistical accuracy. As a complex and popular data set, we used the European Statistics on Income and Living Conditions data set. Almost all synthesizers resulted in low data utility and low syntactical accuracy. The results indicated that for such complex data, simPop, a computational and methodological framework for simulating complex data based on conditional modeling, emerged as the most effective approach for static tabular data and is superior compared to other conditional or joint modelling approaches.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation An application of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and golden circle in entrepreneurship education(AOSIS, 2024) Thetsane, Regina M.; Meyer, Dario; Chambwe, MichaelBackground: Entrepreneurship education has become an important issue worldwide, originating mainly in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK). Different methods have been used to teach entrepreneurship, often without considering local circumstances, which is particularly important in sub-Saharan Africa with its diverse cultures. Therefore, comparing the impact of cultural differences in teaching entrepreneurship education in Western Europe and sub-Saharan African countries is crucial to overcoming such challenges. Aim: This article aims to compare the impact of cultural differences in teaching entrepreneurship education in Western Europe and sub-Saharan African countries with the aim of designing appropriate entrepreneurship education programmes and approaches to the specific cultural contexts. Setting: The study compares the impact of cultural differences in Western Europe (US and UK) and sub-Saharan African countries. Methods: A literature review descriptive study of the impact of cultural differences in teaching entrepreneurship education in Western Europe and sub-Saharan Africa was adopted. Secondary analysis using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions’ model was used for analysis. Results: The main cultural differences are in the dimensions of individualism versus collectivism and power distance. Incorporating team-based learning and focusing on business ideas with a positive collective impact in sub-Saharan Africa can lead to more effective entrepreneurship education. Conclusion: It is crucial to adapt entrepreneurship education approaches to the specific cultural contexts of regions. Using a framework with four guide questions for whom, why, what and how can support the development of programmes. Contribution: Future education programmes can be designed based on a proposed golden circle.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Epilogue.

With the increasing complexity of tools available for a multitude of functionalities, sometimes even overlapping capabilities, finding the right solution for a business is becoming increasingly complex. The aim of the study was to develop a theoretical maturity model for marketing technology to help businesses assess their current state and show potential further development regarding marketing technology. Based on literature review and 20 interviews with experts in the field of marketing technology our aim was reached, and the model could be developed. The research findings involve a comprehensive audit of relationships before data analysis, leading to the amalgamation of dimensions such as ‘team structure’ and ‘skills’ into the consolidated ‘people’ dimension. The dimensions – technology and data, strategy, organisation, people and skills, and customers – are explored in subsequent chapters, offering insights into their roles in MarTech maturity and guiding businesses in assessment and development.01A - Beitrag in wissenschaftlicher ZeitschriftPublikation Bidding behaviour in second-price and random nth-price auctions with interval private values(2024) Banerjee, Prasenjit; Debkumar, Chakrabarti; Datta, Souvik; Hussain, Abul Maala Tanvir04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Familiarity, use, and perception of AI-powered tools in higher education(ToKnowPress, 2024) Nikoulina, Anya; Caroni, Anna; Dermol, ValerijPurpose: AI-powered tools and the use of these tools for teaching and learning have grown exponentially. While there are several studies that examine students' use of AI tools for learning, the results are inconclusive. The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of students' familiarity and use of various AI-powered tools for learning, and to gain greater insight into students' perspectives on the benefits and risks of using AI-powered tools in educational settings. Study design/methodology/approach: The study deployed a survey to understand and compare the degree of familiarity and use of AI-powered tools among first and final-year university students. Additionally, several questions focused specifically on students' concerns regarding the use of AI in their studies. Findings: Results indicate that first-year students exhibited a higher level of familiarity with AI tools prior to the start of their studies, while final-year students demonstrated a deeper and more diverse usage of these technologies. Despite concerns raised, the study does not conclusively support negative impacts on student engagement or development of critical thinking skills. While the study indicated that students are well aware of the general limitations of AI use, they did feel not well supported nor informed as to how AI-powered tools can be used within their studies and have expressed the need for greater support and guidance from the university. Originality/value: Research findings have significant implications for educational institutions and policymakers as they strive to leverage AI effectively to enhance the learning experience while addressing concerns and preferences in this rapidly evolving educational environment.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Emigration and start-up setting.

A qualitative study(2024) Meyer, Dario; Colonna, Francesco; Meyer, Rolf; Buisine, StéphanieDeep tech start-ups, characterized by their focus on groundbreaking technologies and scientific advancements, face unique challenges that demand specialized support systems for their development and market entry. This paper presents a qualitative analysis based on ten interviews with managers of deep tech incubators, exploring the services offered, critical success factors, challenges and anticipated future changes. The services provided by incubators are comprehensive, ranging from technical and business mentorship to assistance in regulatory processes and access to financial resources. The study identifies that the success of deep tech incubators depends on customized support for start-ups, access to expertise and facilities, and a strong ecosystem and community network. Customized support ensures that the unique needs of each start-up are met, while access to technical resources and a vibrant network facilitates innovation and growth. Challenges such as cultural and mindset differences, operational difficulties, and regulatory navigation underscore the complex landscape in which these incubators operate. Anticipated changes within the next few years include a shift in investment focus towards projects with significant societal impact, an increase in international collaboration, and a deeper recognition of deep tech's role in solving global challenges. This paper contributes to the understanding of deep tech incubation, highlighting the support required to foster innovation in this sector. The insights from this study can inform policymakers, investors, and managers of deep tech incubators on fostering a conducive environment for innovation and growth in the deep tech sector.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Teaching sustainability to marketing students in an implicit and efficient way(2024) Miller, Barbara Therese; Felder, Juliane06 - PräsentationPublikation AI literacy as a threshold concept.
