Why Should the Q-method Be Integrated Into the Design Science Research? A Systematic Mapping Study
Get PDFThe Q-method has been utilized over time in various areas, including information systems. In this study, we used a systematic mapping to illustrate how the Q-method was applied within Information Systems (IS) community and proposing towards integration of Q-method into the Design Sciences Research (DSR) process as a tool for future research DSR-based IS studies. In this mapping study, we collected peer-reviewed journals from Basket-of-Eight journals and the digital library of the Association for Information Systems (AIS). Then we grouped the publications according to the process of DSR, and different variables for preparing Q-method from IS publications. We found that the potential of the Q-methodology can be used to support each main research stage of DSR processes and can serve as the useful tool to evaluate a system in the IS topic of system analysis and desig

No full textRobotic Process Automation, Predictive Analytics und künstliche Intelligenz - wo liegen die Anwendungsbereiche im Controlling? Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie
Get PDFVor dem Hintergrund globaler Vernetzung, Digitalisierung und Big Data geht das Excel-Zeitalter seinem Ende entgegen. Neue Technologien versprechen eine höhere Effizienz und Effektivität des Controllings. Die Veränderungen umfassen dabei alle Aufgabenbereiche des Controllings – allerdings mit unterschiedlicher Geschwindigkeit und differenzierten Lösungsansätzen. Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht drei Technologien, die im Controlling derzeit besonders stark diskutiert werden: Robotic Process Automation, Predictive Analytics und Künstliche Intelligenz. Im Rahmen eines Forschungsseminars an der Hochschule Ruhr West in Mülheim a.d.R. wurden dazu 57 Führungskräfte aus Controlling und Rechnungswesen befragt. Über 75% der befragten Unternehmen halten die Digitalisierung für wichtig, mehr als die Hälfte (52%) beabsichtigen, eine oder mehrere der drei untersuchten Technologien in den nächsten drei Jahren neu einzusetzen. In den Aufgabenbereichen ist bislang vor allem das Reporting digital unterstützt, in der Strategischen Planung und im Risikomanagement ist dagegen die Digitalisierung gering. Wesentliche Hindernisse sehen die Befragten im fehlenden Know-How und mangelnder Veränderungsbereitschaft

Why Does Cultural Diversity Foster Technology-enabled Intergenerational Collaboration?
Get PDFGlobalization and information technology enable people to join the movement of global citizenship and work without borders. However, different type of barriers existed that could affect collaboration in today’s work environment, in which different generations are involved. Although researchers have identified several technical barriers to intergenerational collaboration (iGOAL), the influence of cultural diversity on iGOAL has rarely been studied. Therefore, using a quantitative study approach, this paper investigates the impact of differences in cultural background on perceived technical and operational barriers to iGOAL. Our study reveals six barriers to IGC that are perceived differently by culturally diverse people (CDP) and non-CDP. Furthermore, CDP can foster IGC because CDP consider the barriers to be of less of a reason to avoid working with different generations than do non-CDP
Maneuver-based Driving for Intervention in Autonomous Cars
No full textThe way we communicate with autonomous cars will fundamentally change as soon as manual input is no longer required as back-up for the autonomous system. Maneuver-based driving is a potential way to allow still the user to intervene with the autonomous car to communicate requests such as stopping at the next parking lot. In this work, we highlight different research questions that still need to be explored to gain insights into how such control can be realized in the future
Exploring proprioceptive take-over requests for highly automated vehicles
No full textThe uprising levels of autonomous vehicles allow the drivers to shift their attention to non-driving tasks while driving (ie, texting, reading, or watching movies). However, these systems are prone to failure and, thus, depending on human intervention becomes crucial in critical situations. In this work, we propose using human actuation as a new mean of communicating take-over requests (TOR) through proprioception. We conducted a user study via a driving simulation in the presence of a complex working memory span task. We communicated TORs through four different modalities, namely, vibrotactile, audio, visual, and proprioception. Our results show that the vibrotactile condition yielded the fastest reaction time followed by proprioception. Additionally, proprioceptive cues resulted in the second best performance of the non-driving task following auditory cues

No full textIn the field of producing hot-rolled steel bars and wires, hot rolling mills are incomplete or barely equipped with measuring technology for recording relevant process parameters. Therefore, there is a big potential to increase product quality and to decrease costs and scrap by improving process control establishing new sensor systems. One of these crucial parameters is the roll gap,which is investigated as part of the research project PIREF. In this paper an experimental setup for examining the roll gap during a rolling process is presented and based on these results different sensor arrangements are discussed
