Doing research in China : ein Einblick in die Kultur und Forschungslandschaft Chinas. - China-Kompetenz in Hohenheim
(2020) Klenk, Johannes; Schmidt, Alexander; Waschek, Franziska
Mit dieser Broschüre soll Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern, die sich für Forschung in und mit China interessieren oder eventuell bereits ein konkretes Forschungsvorhaben mit Bezug zu China haben, einen Überblick über einige Themen geben werden, die aus der Sicht der Autoren für geplante Projekte mit chinesischen Partnerinnen und Partnern oder für Aufenthalte vor Ort relevant sind.
Entscheidungsorientierte Bewertung von Forschungskooperationspartnern
(2012) Vaclavicek, Peter; Troßmann, Ernst
This thesis focuses on developing a method which can be used to evaluate potential partners to cooperate with in an intercompany research cooperation. Research is understood as systematically applying scientific methods in order to gain new knowledge. An intercompany cooperation is understood as a goal-directed, contractually settled long-term collaboration that is established on a voluntary basis between legally independent, yet consequently commercially mutually dependent companies. Decision-theory based evaluation of research cooperation partners requires processing a great deal of relevant information and the design of a suitable methodology. Research cooperation goals are seen as the essential benchmark on the basis of which alternative research cooperation partners are to be evaluated. Consequently, they are essential for the methodology to be chosen. Through the studying of literature, goals that are to be achieved through engaging in a research cooperation are thoroughly analyzed. Essential goals are content goals, timeframe goals and financial goals. Additional goals of more special character are risk reduction and feasibility. All characteristics of a company to be evaluated as a potential research cooperation partner are to be benchmarked in order to evaluate their value for achieving research cooperation goals. Conveniently, these characteristics can be distinguished between two types: first, the objectively observable potentials of a potential research cooperation partner. These characterize his capabilities, to enrich the planned research project in a purposeful way, when compared to one?s own capabilities. Capabilities of importance for research projects can typically be seen in material operating resources (e.g. experimental plants or specialized IT-facilities), human resources (e.g. laboratory staff), immaterial resources (particularly knowledge) and finally financial resources. Second, the will (or: motivation) is the second set of relevant cooperation partner characteristics. The best alternative to engaging in a research cooperation with any partner is to realize the intended research project by oneself, i.e. without a cooperation partner. This alternative is referred to as the null alternative. Consequently, all potential research cooperation partners are to be compared with the extent to which research goals can be achieved through one?s null alternative. The key aspect of the methodology to be developed thus is the evaluation of positive and negative consequences of choosing a particular company as a partner to cooperate with. Positive consequences (or: advantages) can be identified as a better achievement of goals than would be possible when realizing the null alternative. Since different goals are to be measured with different scales, standardization through a scoring model becomes necessary. Negative consequences (or: disadvantages) of cooperating with a particular partner result from his lack of cooperation will. In particular means and instruments of intercompany coordination are to be evaluated. Having determined advantages and disadvantages of a particular research cooperation partner, both findings can be added in order to generate an overall partner value. The higher this partner value, the more suitable is the company as a research cooperation partner. As long as the partner value is above zero, i.e. positive, cooperation leads to a better goal-achievement than realizing the null alternative (i.e. realizing the research project by oneself). A negative partner value however indicates that realizing the null alternative would mean a better goal achievement than engaging in a research cooperation with this particular partner. The wide usability of the methodology developed is demonstrated by a concluding discussion of three particularly relevant constellations in intercompany research cooperations: research coopera-tions with more than just two research partners (i.e. research networks), international research cooperations, and research cooperations in public-private-partnerships. Specific requirements of using the developed set of methodology in these three constellations are highlighted conclusively.
Mähdrescher : VDI-MEG-Kolloquium Landtechnik, Heft 40
(2013) Max-Eyth-Gesellschaft im VDI; Böttinger, Stefan
For intensive discussion of special topics the VDI-MEG colloquia are established since many years. "Combine" colloquia have been realized in turns with Dresden at the University of Hohenheim in 1988, 1997 and 2005. The fast development of grain harvest technologies, the optimization of assemblies, the ease of machine adjustment and the automation of many functions causes the necessity to review the situation and show the prospects for further development.
Status-Quo und Perspektiven von Zweinutzungshühnern in Baden-Württemberg : Ergebnisse eines World-Cafés im Rahmen des 1. Dialogforums des Projektes „ZweiWert“ am 2.3.2023.
(2023) Bermejo, Gabriela; Imort-Just, Annik; Gebhardt, Beate; Hess, Sebastian; Kiefer, Lukas; Zikeli, Sabine
The motivation behind the growing interest in dual-purpose chicken is diverse. Among other things, it is driven by the prohibition of killing male chicks from laying lines, by the desire to improve animal welfare in general, and by the preservation of genetic biodiversity and a more sustainable poultry production system. The project "ZweiWert" aims to create a regional network of actors in order to build up a value chain for dual-purpose chickens in Baden-Württemberg. Following a status quo and potential analysis of the agricultural production of dual-purpose chicken, a network will be established along the entire value chain, so that a sustainable production as well as a regular supply of the resulting products can be ensured. In order to promote the exchange between actors and to be able to develop policy options and recommendations, dialogue forums will be organized during the course of the project. The first forum took place in March 2023 and brought together representatives from different sectors. After various expert contributions, participants were able to exchange views on different areas of the value chain in the format of a World Café. In particular, the topics of networking and economic efficiency, cooperation, aspects of the legal/political framework and the need for more transparency and communication were mentioned during these discussions.
What’s hot in entrepreneurship research 2018?
(2018) Prochotta, Alicia; Kuckertz, Andreas
Taking stock of what has been achieved in a particular research field, where a field currently stands, and where it might move to in the near future is an important undertaking. In this research brief, we present the results of a survey of 225 experienced entrepreneurship researchers who shared their insights on a) what topical areas are currently important in entrepreneurship research and b) what methods might be especially useful to provide interesting and relevant answers to old and new research questions. The results suggest no dramatic differences in the relevance of topics compared to our original survey conducted five years ago (Kuckertz 2013), but do indicate that the field is moving forward in terms of methods by embracing the “gold standard” of academic rigor inspired by the natural sciences (e.g., experimental designs) and by considering methods that make it possible to capture the complexity of entrepreneurial phenomena.
