Intelligente Echtzeitunternehmen im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb: Multiple Geschäftsmodelle – Hybride Organisationsmodelle – Vernetzte Ökosysteme
by Roland EckertDas Buch zeigt, wie lernende Unternehmen im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb zu intelligenten Echtzeitunternehmen weiterentwickelt werden müssen. Hier geht es dann u.a. um die Gestaltung von multiplen Geschäftsmodellen durch ein Dynamic Business Model Prototyping und um die Ableitung von hybriden Organisationsmodellen: Hierarchien werden durch heterarchische Hierarchien und hierarchische Heterarchien ersetzt. Gleichzeitig wird aufgezeigt, dass der Managementfokus zukünftig stärker auf die drei Innovationshorizonte des Chancenanteilswettbewerbs ausgerichtet werden muss. Dies betrifft sowohl die organisatorische Ausrichtung (u.a. Digitalfabrik, Innovationsfabrik, Schwarmorganisation) als auch den Methodenset (u.a. Innovation Foresighting, Rapid Business Model Design).Mit Fokus auf die Plattformökonomie müssen intelligente Echtzeitunternehmen zum Keystone-Unternehmen weiterentwickelt werden. Entscheidend ist hier aber, die neuen Fähigkeiten mit den bisherigen Stärken zu verbinden.Anwendungsorientierte Beispiele und Handlungsempfehlungen helfen Managemententscheidern, Führungskräften und Innovationsverantwortlichen bei der aktiven Unternehmensentwicklung im digitalen Hyperwettbewerb.
Intelligente Rechnungsverarbeitung: Methodik und Quantitative Analyse einer Rechnungsverarbeitung mithilfe Künstlicher Intelligenz (BestMasters)
by Martin BöhmerHändisches Extrahieren von Rechnungsdaten ist heutzutage ein enorm zeitaufwendiger, monotoner und fehleranfälliger Prozess in vielen Unternehmen. Der Einsatz Künstlicher Intelligenz in Form von Optischer Zeichenerkennung und Künstlichen Neuronalen Netzen erscheint daher prädestiniert, um den Rechnungsverarbeitungsprozess partiell intelligent zu automatisieren und somit Mitarbeiter*innen zu entlasten sowie Projektmargen zu erhöhen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den Einsatz von KI in der Rechnungsverarbeitung und stellt einen potentiellen Softwareprototypen vor. Außerdem werden empirische Beobachtungen und Experimente zum Testen der Hypothesen durchgeführt, wodurch die zentralen Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass eine Verarbeitung mit KI-Unterstützung im Vergleich zu einer rein analog-händischen Verarbeitung signifikant schneller und präziser ist. Dabei profitieren vor allem Mitarbeiter*innen, die weniger Erfahrung mit der Rechnungsverarbeitung haben und durch die KI unterstützt werden. Um die deskriptiv erhobenen Ergebnisse vergleichbar zu gestalten, wird eine Matrix entwickelt, die zukünftig Daten hinsichtlich Zeit und Präzision einer Rechnungsverarbeitung auswerten kann.

Intelliseek
by Allan Friedman Luc WathieuIntelliseek harvests, filters, and mines the content of messages posted by consumers online and on discussion boards and blogs. For any specified consumer product brand, Intelliseek measures the volume of work-of-mouth and its valence (proportion of positive and negative comments) and produces organized sets of quotes in the manner of a focus group report. This "marketing intelligence" company has been successful selling its reports to the car industry, but finds it difficult to achieve client retention in other areas. New initiatives are suggested: (1) to arrange data in problem-specific templates so that it is more "actionable" and (2) to develop industry benchmark metrics against which the metrics can be compared in a more informative manner. The CEO of the company believes that the key to success is a streamlined, standardized approach to the metrics developed for client brands. The CMO believes that Intelliseek should go much further to capitalize on the opportunity to understand customers emerging from what he calls "consumer-generated media."
Intemperate Spirits: Economic Adaptation during Prohibition
by Alice Louise KassensUsing the basic economic principle of making decisions using a cost-benefit framework—and how changes in one or the other can result in a different decision—this book uncovers how various groups responded to incentives provided by the Prohibition legislation. Using this calculus, it is clear that even criminals are rational characters, responding to incentives and opportunities provided by the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act. The book begins with a broad look at the adaptations of the law’s targets: the wine, beer, and liquor industries. It then turns to specific people (Violators, Line Tip-Toers, Enablers, and Hypocrites), sharing their stories of economic adaptation to bring economic lessons to life. Due to its structure, the book can be read in parts or as a whole and is suitable for short classroom reading assignments or individual pleasure reading.
Intemperate: Marion Barry Jr.--Understanding This Type of Bad Leadership

Marion Barry Jr., former mayor of Washington D.C. was caught numerous times during his time in the public eye indulging in illicit behavior. As the author explains, he was able to stay in office only because of his followers turning a blind eye to his indiscretions.
Intending the World: A Phenomenology of International Affairs
by Ralph PettmanHow we look at the world is informed mainly by our assumptions and the ways in which we rationalise them. Seldom do we rely—or allow ourselves to rely—on 'gut thinking' or intuition.Intending the World shows how rationalism, which is our primary approach in thinking about world affairs, is in crisis. By studying the world rationalistically, we objectify it and we look at it as detached from ourselves. But in doing so, we cease to see that we are using a perspective that limits as well as enlightens.In a disciplinary first, Ralph Pettman provides an account of twenty-first century international relations in terms of phenomenology—one of the main philosophical attempts to compensate for these limits. He explores how this re-embedded use of reason can successfully describe and explain world affairs in ways unused by rationalists.Intending the World follows the lead of the German philosopher Edmund Husserl. It looks at the world not only in terms of things-in-themselves, but also in terms of why it is we keep willing the world the way we do.
Intense Group Behavior and Brand Negativity: Comparing Rivalry in Politics, Religion, and Sport
by Cody T. HavardIn previous books, the author has investigated rivalry in the context of sport and non-sport settings. This book investigates how rivalry and group member behavior manifests in the setting of politics, religion, and sport, three settings of intense group member bias. Building on the author’s Hierarchy of Out-group Derogation (HOD) and Out-group Derogation Spectrum (ODS), it discusses the potential of common interests to drive out-group cooperation. The work ends with a call for future research to better understand how to decrease out-group derogation and negativity. Incorporating research from marketing, psychology, political science, and sociology, this book offers researchers in several fields a new understanding of how setting and group membership influences the ways people view and behave toward out-groups.

The case describes how Intenseye's technology solution was developed, how it works, and their target clients. The case highlights the tradeoffs associated with facial recognition and privacy, and the challenges measuring the value created by Intenseye and how the firm can capture more of the value it was creating.
Intensive Variable and Its Application
by Xinqi Zheng Chunlu Xue Zhiyuan YuanThere are still insufficient general theories on the law of diminishing returns, despite 100 years of development. Starting with intensive variables theory, and by utilizing tools of spatiotemporal correlation and intensive functions, moving on to the integrated curve of diminishing returns and intensive theory, and even more importantly, using a combination of static and dynamic GIS, and integrating numerical calculation and spatial optimization, this book not only creates a unique theoretical framework and methodology for the evaluation of land use effect, but also addresses the long-standing lack of universal theories and methods on the law of diminishing returns. It will have far-reaching impacts on the development of this area and its practical application. The book covers a wide range fields in geography, land science, geographic information science, management science and related areas. Novel theoretical perspectives illustrated with many detailed case studies offer an easier way for readers to expand their research, ensuring that both academic and business audiences will benefit. Prof. Xinqi Zheng works at the China University of Geosciences (Beijing), People's Republic of China.
