Die von Experten aus Wirtschaft, Entwicklung, Wissenschaft und Politik erarbeitete Normungsroadmap Innovative Arbeitswelt von DIN und DKE analysiert die Arbeitswelten von morgen und betrachtet aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse mit dem Ziel, aufzuzeigen, in welchen Bereichen die Entwicklung der zukünftigen Arbeitswelt durch Normung und Standardisierung vorangetrieben werden kann. In 28 Handlungsempfehlungen beschreibt die Roadmap, wo Normungsbedarf besteht und wo beispielsweise Inhalte konkretisiert werden sollten. Um den Praxisbezug sicherzustellen, beschreibt die Roadmap vier Use Cases aus den Bereichen Produktion und Dienstleistungen.

Deployment of a business and innovation centre to foster cooperation between Europe and Brazil

2017 , Haunschild, Johanna , Melo, Gustavo , Orth, Ronald , Will, Markus , Kohl, Holger

Research and Development as well as science and technology are key elements for innovation, and more generally are some among many areas that are becoming global. This reduces the influence of individual countries or blocs such as the European Union (EU) on developments both at home and abroad but also generates important benefits through specialization, trade and competition. R&D and science & technology are still strongly focused on the 'Triad' countries overall. However, this pattern is weakening fast, as especially the large emerging economies' role in global science, technology and innovation continues to increase. Following this reasoning, Brazil deserves special attention due its economic strength, accounting for almost 38% of Latin American GDP (IMF, 2013), and its huge entrepreneurship potential (Arruda, 2015). Against this background, the purpose of this paper is to examine in a first step the Innovation Systems of Brazil and Europe, then to show in a second step, how joint activities and programs can address the needs for a fruitful cooperation in international innovation in order to strengthen both Innovation Systems. For the first aspect, the paper provides an examination of Innovation Systems of Brazil and European countries based on library resources, articles, reports and other secondary data. The OECD bibliography will be the guideline to understand the Innovation Systems of the relevant countries. Regarding the second aspect, the EU Horizon 2020 funded project CEBRABIC - Centre for Europe-Brazil Business & Innovation Cooperation - will be elucidated. CEBRABIC aims at enhancing the cooperation in research, technology and entrepreneurship between the EU member states and Latin America's leading economy, Brazil. CEBRABIC will be a Centre working on a network basis: creating synergies and complementarities is the core value; particularly with European research and innovation (R&I) structures located in Brazil.

Sustainable Corporate Development: A Resource-Oriented Approach

2020 , Orth, Ronald , Kohl, Holger , Galeitzke, Mila

Sustainable corporate development can be understood as a strategy that respects not only economic goals but also environmental and social aspects, weigh against each other and thus, ensures the long-term business success. The number of enterprises that are oriented towards corporate sustainability has increased in recent years, but the implementation still encounters a variety of limits. The goal of this chapter is the development of an integrated approach to foster sustainable development on the corporate level. In this context, not only tangible resources (e.g. raw material, energy or machines) but in particular intangible resources (e.g. expertise and professional competence of the employees, corporate culture or relations with stakeholders) are considered key success factors for a sustainable corporate development. For its application, the integrated approach provides a set of instruments and procedures, which can be used for the purpose of analysis, planning, controlling and reporting of sustainable corporate development.

Sustainability Reporting in German Manufacturing SMEs

2019 , Steinhöfel, Erik , Galeitzke, Mila , Kohl, Holger , Orth, Ronald

This paper investigates how small and medium-sized enterprises from the German manufacturing sector address sustainability issues through the implementation of sustainability reporting. For this purpose, 14 sustainability reports were analyzed with regard to the extent that they apply the framework provided by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), as well as the differences between companies that apply the GRI framework and companies that do not. In addition, indicators and related units that are used to report sustainability are investigated. The findings of this contribution show that there is a general lack of consistency among the considered sustainability reports, which demands for further harmonization of sustainability reporting in order to ensure comparability of sustainability performance across different organizations.
