Ziel der Studie war es, den Stand der Digitalisierung in zwölf Industriebranchen in Deutschland zu untersuchen. In der Fragebogen-Erhebung unter 14.007 Beschäftigten zeigte sich, dass die Digitalisierung oft noch am Anfang steht und primär durch den Einsatz von IKT-Systemen geprägt ist....

We aim to disentangle the relative contributions of (i) cognitive ability, and (ii) education on health and mortality using a structural equation model suggested by Conti et al. (2010). We extend their model by allowing for a duration dependent variable, and an ordinal educational variable. Data...

The internet offers market researchers a broad variety of possibilities to gather information and insights. Online surveys and online observations are to commonly used research methods. In this article, both methods are being compared and their possible value proposition in terms of brand...

Die Autoren untersuchen im vorliegenden Artikel den Einfluss der zunehmenden Nutzung von Social Media auf das Personalmanagement. Dabei liegt der Fokus vor allem auf dem Bereich Employer Branding, weil die Veränderungen des Medienkonsums und Kommunikationsverhalten, die durch die Nutzung von...

The rise of social media is causing challenges for brand managers of premium manufacturers in the fast moving consumer goods industry. Social Media platforms as innovative and open communication channels have to be integrated in the established media mix while preventing the damage of the...

Through a survey of CEOs of Russian industrial companies administered in the second half of 2011 we have tried to understand the forces that lead some firms to decide to engage in more innovative activities than others and examined the types of routines associated with this decision. We found...

Internationalen Vergleichen der Arbeitskosten, die sich ausschließlich auf das Verarbeitende Gewerbe beziehen, wird mangelnde Relevanz vorgeworfen, weil an der Erstellung von Industriewaren durch vielfältige Lieferverflechtungen auch andere Wirtschaftsbereiche beteiligt sind. Eine Analyse von...

This article evaluates the performance of structural equation models in validating measurement models for hypothetical constructs and deals with specific issues following from the way this methodology is typically applied in scale construction. In particular, controlling for various types of...

Comparing groups with respect to hypothetical constructs requires that the measurement models are equal across groups. Otherwise conclusions drawn from the observed indicators regarding differences at the latent level (mean differences, differences in the structural relations) might be severly...

Structural vector-autoregressive models are potentially very useful tools for guiding both macro- and microeconomic policy. In this paper, we present a recently developed method for exploiting non-Gaussianity in the data for estimating such models, with the aim of capturing the causal structure...
