Die Formulierung des Bedarfs und die Einschätzung der Angebote erfordern eine IT-Fachkompetenz, die durch die kontrollierenden Instanzen zum Teil nicht in ausreichendem Maße gegeben ist. Für das Bundesministerium für wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ), das Korruptionsprävention als Teil der Entwicklungspolitik begreift, sind Prozesse und Verfahrensweisen, die Vorteilsnahme, Amtsmissbrauch oder Korruption im eigenen Hause ermöglichen könnten, umso unerträglicher. Dies war für die Beschaffungsstelle sowie für die IT des BMZ Anlass genug, den IT-Beschaffungsprozess kritisch zu durchleuchten und zu verändern. Das Ziel der Prozessanalyse bestand darin, den IT-Beschaffungsprozess stärker zu systematisieren und ihn einer durchgängigen Kontrolle zu unterwerfen. Gleichzeitig sollte auf Ebene des einzelnen Entscheidungsträgers durch Schulungen zum Thema Vorteilsnahme und Korruption eine Sensibilisierung bewirkt werden. Der Erfolg solcher Initiativen ist jedoch nur dann gegeben, wenn das Thema Korruption offen diskutiert wird und eine permanente Schärfung der Aufmerksamkeit gelingt.

Oriented on the TOE framework and informed by recent literature on the adoption of these technologies, we conducted a qualitative analysis within an international company on the threshold of integrating Cloud ERP and on the point of discussing the potential of Blockchain. Interviews revealed most of the TOE factors as equally important for both technologies, thus underlining the importance of the TOE framework and the explanatory power to describe the contextual factors for technology adoption. At the same time they gave evidence for a deficiency in the explanatory power of this model: The right timing for technology adoption must be explained by more dynamic aspects. The interviews pointed to the maturity of the technology and the market demand as paramount for the timing decision. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by expanding research on the timing decision of technology adoption and recommends to improve the explanatory power of the TOE framework by taking the maturity level of the technology into account. As the evidence given by a single use case is too small, further research is required to confirm the results.

To cope with the complexity of these factors, this paper focuses on the influence of some of the most important factors regarding BDA and their interrelations. We followed the technology, organization, and environment framework (TOE framework), which is frequently used to explain the process of technology adoption, to examine the context of the decision-making process and combined it with insights from dynamic capability theory. This paper contributes to BDA research by extending the TOE framework towards a dynamic capability view. It assists in the decision-making process regarding the development of BDA capabilities by determining the most influential factors and their side effects, thereby helping to prioritize these factors and to encourage investments accordingly.

Students' motivation became a crucial aspect of prolonged e-learning situations. This paper reports on an educational design experiment to change a hands-on-training on SAP ERP-Systems into a gamified self-paced e-learning environment. This training accompanies a lecture on Business Information Systems for first-semester students. Allowing mistakes to happen kept the attention high and made achievements within the learning environment more rewarding. An anonymous online survey confirmed the relevance of self-paced learning for learning efficiency. Even though a positive impact of "mistakes" on learning efficiency was not confirmed, comments and statements of the participants pointed towards an effect on learning, worth further research. We contribute to the body of knowledge by providing lessons learned on gamified self-paced e-learning within university courses. It could be verified that business process-related hands-on-training within an ERP-System could be implemented in a gamified self-paced elearning environment without compromises regarding scope or scale of the content.

Die Bewaltigung der Komplexitat der Fragestellungen ist nur durch Einsatz von Methoden moglich, die Abweichungen, Zusammenhange, Auffalligkeiten sowie interessante und bedeutsame Sachverhalte aufdecken helfen. Gerade hierfur bietet das Data Mining viel versprechende Ansatze, die bislang nicht hinreichend ausgeschopft wurden. Mit diesem Beitrag soll das Vorgehen des Data Minings anhand von Beispielen aus dem Controlling verdeutlicht werden. Hierbei werden die Ausfuhrungen auf die Methoden der Segmentierung, der Klassifikation und der Abhangigkeitsanalyse beschrankt.

Because this situation is exceptional, the impacts on a crisis of meaning, job boredom and a crisis of growth manifest themselves more clearly. Young people are the unit of interest within this paper, as a boreout could be devastating for their professional career. Leaning on recent literature, a qualitative analysis was conducted, followed by an anonymous online survey to test the viability of the approach. Only spare indicators for a crisis of meaning were identified, clear signals pointing towards boredom and strong indicators for a crisis of growth as well as evidence for coping strategies relying on various communication tools to compensate the lack of personal contact. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge by expanding research on boreout and by underlining the importance of its dimensions crisis of meaning, job boredom and crisis of growth. A moderating effect of IT-equipment and IT-support on establishing and maintaining connectivity in distant digital working situations became evident. This paper reports on work in progress, further research would be necessary to confirm the results.
