The importance of involving enterprise stakeholders in organizational transformation and development processes has been acknowledged in many scholarly publications in the context of business information systems research. Method and tool support for this is particularly explored and provided by the field of participatory enterprise modelling (PEM). In PEM, modelling sessions involving all relevant stakeholders and guided by a modelling facilitator are a central element. However, the published work on PEM is not very extensive with respect to structuring such modelling sessions, in particular when combining analytical and design parts. It is hence hard for novice modelling facilitators to plan a workshop, to switch between different workshop phases and to react to unforeseen events. Since existing literature covers only generic aspects of workshop moderation, we fill this gap in providing an initial model that can serve to inform, structure and guide PEM sessions. The model has been developed by analysing examples from real-world modelling sessions.
In view of the ongoing alarming numbers of incapacity to work due to mental illness, it is important to pay attention to the factors that maintain long-term productivity of the individual. Recent research is concerned with examining relevant parameters that are measurable through technology and play a role for recognizing productivity factors such as cognitive performance or stress. However, in practice there are constraints regarding the available data sources and motives of people to use tools for self-tracking and management. In this article, we first present results from a literature review on productivity measures from research and then, complement it with initial results from an online questionnaire, which asked for the use of conventional tools by individuals. Besides frequencies of usage, we highlight major drivers for people to use applications for collecting data and managing oneself.
Zusammenfassung Durch die Verfügbarkeit und Leistungsfähigkeit neuartiger Hardware sind zunehmend die Voraussetzungen gegeben, Technologien der erweiterten Realität (Augmented Reality) in der Montage, bzw. dem Zusammenbau von Produkten einzusetzen. Dabei handelt es sich beispielsweise um in das Sichtfeld eingeblendete 3D-Explosionszeichnungen oder unterstützende Zusatzinformationen. Auch wenn ein zentrales Versprechen solcher Ansätze die Erleichterung und Beschleunigung komplexer Montageaufgaben ist, bleibt bisher jedoch weitgehend unklar, welchen Effekt der Einsatz der erweiterten Realität auf die Mitarbeitenden und deren Produktivität tatsächlich hat und wie diese Auswirkungen messbar sind. Für Unternehmen (nicht nur) in Ländern mit hohen Lohnkosten ist eine Beurteilung neuer Technologien hinsichtlich des Einflusses auf die Produktivität allerdings unerlässlich, wobei zudem die Perspektive der Mitarbeitenden bzw. Anwendenden oft vernachlässigt wird. Daher steht in diesem Beitrag die Betrachtung der individuellen Produktivität aus der Perspektive prospektiver Technologieanwendender im Vordergrund. In einem Experten-Workshop wurde dazu ein konkretes Szenario zur Monta
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
