Publikation Maturity analysis assess the capability of an organization to innovate(IADIS, 2020) Adam, Marc; Peter, Marco; Gatziu Grivas, Stella; Nunes Baptista, Miguel; Isaías, Pedro; Powell, Philip; Bontchev, BoyanGlobalization creates a highly competitive environment for organizations. To be successful in this environment in the long term, organizations need the capability to innovate and produce ongoing innovations. However, many organizations do struggle to do so despite their innovation efforts. Therefore, it is important to determine the factors of a company’s innovation capability. This research paper answers the question of how a method should be designed in order to assess an organization’s capability to innovate. To answer this question, extensive literature research on the topics of innovation, existing innovation models, and organizational behavior, as well as expert interviews with people from different industries, were conducted. Thus, this paper follows a design science strategywith a qualitative approach. The analysis of the literature showed that several factors determine the innovation capability of an organization. However, existing models sometimes focus on a single factor or contain several factors, which are not described sufficiently. Furthermore, the possibility for organizations to assess themselves using the models is largely missing. Based on the data from the literature and the interviews, a maturity assessment, consisting of a model of seven dimensions and 27 indicators, and a corresponding questionnaire to assess these indicators, was developed. The research findings suggest that the developed maturity assessment with its Organizational Innovation Capability model is a suitable and comprehensive method that can be used to support organizations by assessing their current innovation capability in order to define the necessary further measures. This research argues that the additional dimensions and indicators are needed in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the innovation capability maturity of an organization. Further, the experts emphasized the value of creating awareness within an organization and providing a good foundation for further discussions and actions by means of the maturity assessment.04B - Beitrag KonferenzschriftPublikation Smart metering applications. Main concepts and business models(Springer, 2022) Efkarpidis, Nikolaos; Geidl, Martin; Wache, Holger; Peter, Marco; Adam, MarcThis book presents a large number of smart metering applications from the points of view of different stakeholders. The applications are clustered with respect to three types of stakeholders: (a) end-customers, (b) energy service providers, and (c) authorities/research institutions or other organizations. The goal of the book is to examine the implementation potential for each application, considering the interests and benefits for the key stakeholders, main technical and regulatory requirements, as well as limitations and barriers. A business case for each application is created that can provide guidelines to the stakeholders involved in its realization. The book additionally investigates current business models for smart metering applications. A survey on the current techno-economic potential of such applications is conducted based on a questionnaire filled by various stakeholders. The book will be of interest to academic/research institutions, but also engineers in industry, authorities or other organizations.02 - MonographiePublikation Technoeconomic review of smart metering applications(Springer, 2023) Efkarpidis, Nikolaos; Geidl, Martin; Wache, Holger; Peter, Marco; Adam, Marc; Ould Abdeslam, DjaffarThis chapter represents a brief version of the survey conducted in Efkarpidis et al. (Smart metering applications: main concepts and business models. Springer Nature Switzerland, Basel, pp. 1–164, 2022), where various smart metering applications are presented from the point of different stakeholders’ interests.04A - Beitrag SammelbandPublikation Maturity Analysis to Assess the Capability of an Organisation to Innovate(Hochschule für Wirtschaft FHNW, 2019) Adam, Marc; Gatziu Grivas, StellaGlobalisation has created a highly competitive environment for organisations, which in order to be successful in the long term, must be able to generate ongoing innovation. However, a majority of the organisations do not succeed in doing just that. The question arises, which factors determine the innovation capability of a company? In order to answer this question a literature research on innovation, innovation models and organisational behaviour was conducted. However, the analysis of existing innovation models revealed that they either only focus on a single factor or do not provide the needed indicators and explanation in order to apply the models and are therefore not suitable to assess the innovation capability of a company. Therefore, the main research question was defined: How should a method be designed in order to assess an organisations capability to innovate? In order to find an answer, an extensive literature research as well as interviews with experts from different industries were conducted. Based on this data a model consisting of 7 dimensions and 27 indicators was developed as well as a corresponding questionnaire to assess these indicators, following a Design Cycle strategy. The research findings show that the developed Organisational Innovation Capability model is a suitable and comprehensive model that can be used to support organisations by assessing their current innovation capability in order to define the necessary further measures.11 - Studentische Arbeit
