Corporate foresight in Sweden : A quantitative comparison between Swedish and European companies / Affärsförutseende i Sverige : En kvantitativ jämförelse mellan svenska och europeiska företag

Babaheidari, Persheng, De Geer, Hans January 2017 (has links)
Studies show that the average lifespan of large companies is decreasing and that companies of today face a higher degree of market-saturation caused by globalization. In order for companies to stay alive, they need to scan for trends outside their business scope, which can be done by adopting corporate foresight. This thesis investigates the uniqueness of corporate foresight in large Swedish companies when compared to a European sample. The focus lies on measuring differences with regards to need, capabilities and maturity of corporate foresight. This thesis establishes that there is an ever-growing interest in studying corporate foresight from a Swedish perspective due to the high rate of innovation in the country. Based on a theoretical framework, a method is established for measuring the three main dimensions of need, capabilities and maturity. The data for the Swedish companies is empirical data from 11 Swedish companies gathered using a survey provided by the collaborator Rohrbeck Heger GmbH. The Swedish data is then compared to a European sample by using an existing database. Through the use of a quantitative method with two statistical tests, one non-parametric test (Mann-Whitney U-test) and one parametric test (Welch’s t-test), several interesting differences were found. For need, it was found that Swedish firms act in a less dynamic environment than its European counterparts, but that Swedish firms’ environment is more complex. For capabilities, Swedish firms have stronger internal capabilities with regards to culture, method sophistication and information usage. Finally, for maturity, Swedish firms have stronger perceiving abilities but weaker prospecting abilities than European firms. In summary, it is not possible to say that the overall need or maturity with regards to corporate foresight is greater or more advanced for Swedish firms. However, a conclusion is that Swedish firms have stronger capabilities for corporate foresight than its European counterparts. / Studier visar att genomsnittslivstiden för stora bolag minskar, samt att dagens företag möter en högre grad av marknadsmättnad orsakad av globalisering. För att företag ska överleva behöver de skanna efter trender utanför deras nuvarande verksamhet, vilket kan göras genom att arbeta med affärsförutseende. I detta examensarbete undersöks unika egenskaper gällande affärsförutseende i stora svenska bolag jämfört med stora europeiska bolag. Fokus ligger i att mäta skillnaderna i behov, färdigheter samt mognadsgrad av affärsförutseende. Detta examensarbete konstaterar genom flertalet källor att intresset och behovet av att utforska affärsförutseende för svenska bolag finns, eftersom Sverige är ett av världens mest innovativa länder. Från litteraturstudien etableras en metod för att mäta nivåer på de tre dimensionerna behov, färdigheter samt mognadsgrad. Empirisk data har samlats in på 11 stora svenska bolag genom en enkätbaserad intervju, där tillgång har erhållits till en granskad enkät genom samarbetspartnern Rohrbeck Heger GmbH, samt tillgång till deras databas med europeiska bolag. Den svenska datan jämförs därefter mot ett europeiskt dataset, där en kvantitativ metod används för att jämföra dessa grupper; ett icke-parametriskt test (Mann-Whitney U-test) samt ett parametriskt test (Welch’s t-test). Genom dessa tester erhålls flera intressanta skillnader mellan svenska och europeiska bolag. Gällande behov, visade resultatet att svenska bolag har ett lägre dynamiskt affärsklimat, men där affärsklimatet är mer komplext. Gällande färdigheter skiljer sig svenska bolag på de interna färdigheterna kultur, metodraffinering samt informationsanvändning. Slutligen, gällande mognadsgrad för affärsförutseende, är svenska bolag starkare på att uppfatta trender men svagare på att analysera trender. Sammanfattningsvis är det inte möjligt att dra någon slutsats överlag huruvida behov och mognadsgrad gällande affärsförutseende är mer avancerat bland svenska bolag. Däremot kan slutsatsen dras att svenska bolag har starkare färdigheter för affärsförutseende än dess europeiska motsvarigheter.

Digital Readiness of Swedish Organizations / Digital Mognad hos Svenska Organisationer

Ertan, Joakim January 2018 (has links)
This paper tries to measure the level of digital transformation among Swedish organizations. This is done through utilizing a maturity model and collecting data through an online questionnaire from 21 different organizations and measuring their digital readiness. The result seem to indicate that Swedish organizations have a been affected by digital transformation and have a slightly lower level of digitalization than foreign organizations. / I denna uppsats försöks den digitala transformationen mätas bland svenska organisationer. Detta gjordes genom att använda sig av en maturity/mongnadsmodell och samla data om 21 olika organisationer genom ett frågeformulär som publicerades online. Denna data användes sedan för att mäta organisationernas digitala mognad. Resultat indikerar att Svenska organisationer har blivit påverkade av den digitala transformerinen, dock är nivån av digital mognad något lägre än hos utländska organisationer.

Driving Strategy with Employees: A sustainable Maturity Model approach for Intraorganizational Online Collaboration

Reeb, Samuel 27 October 2023 (has links)
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht die digitalen Transformationen in der Arbeitswelt und die daraus resultierenden Anforderungen an die Intraorganisatorische Online-Zusammenarbeit (IOC). Vor dem Hintergrund der dynamischen VUCA-Welt wird die Notwendigkeit hervorgehoben, die IOC-Fähigkeiten von Organisationen ganzheitlich zu bewerten und zu verbessern. Als zentrale wissenschaftliche Beiträge werden ein umfassender Anforderungskatalog für IOC-Steuerungsinstrumente dokumentiert und angewendet, die IOC-Literatur durch die systematische Aufarbeitung von 334 wissenschaftlichen Publikationen synthetisiert und deren Erfolgsfaktoren kategorisiert. Zudem wird ein IOC-Reifegradmodell mit domänenrelevanten Fähigkeiten und einer Entwicklungsstrategie vorgestellt. Der DEDAC-Reifegradmodell-Rahmen stellt einen domänenunabhängigen konzeptuellen Ansatz zur Verbesserung der Reifegradmodell-Praktikabilität dar, ergänzt durch Richtlinien für die Gestaltung von Delphi-Studien zur Reifegradmodell-Entwicklung. Aus praktischer Perspektive bietet die Arbeit einen Anforderungskatalog für IOC-Steuerungsinstrumente, eine systematische Übersicht über IOC-Erfolgsfaktoren, eine Kategorisierung und einen Reifepfad für das Management von IOC. Der DEDAC-Reifegradmodell-Rahmen dient zudem als Ansatz zur Steuerung und kontinuierlichen Verbesserung von IOC und anderen Bereichen. Trotz der umfangreichen Beiträge gibt es Limitationen, insbesondere die fehlende weitere Evaluierung des DEDAC-Reifegradmodell-Rahmens und die fehlende praktische Anwendung des IOC-Reifegradmodell-Prototyps in Organisationen. Zukünftige Forschungen könnten sich auf die Anwendung und Evaluation des IOC-Reifegradmodell-Prototyps in realen Organisationen konzentrieren, die Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Organisation untersuchen und den Reifepfad dynamisieren.

BIOMA : En modell för att bedöma en organisations BI-mognad ur ett multidimensionellt perspektiv / BIOMA: Business Intelligence Organizational Maturity Analysis : A Model for measure organizational BI-maturity through amultidimensional perspective

Widehammar, Per, Langell, Robin January 2010 (has links)
Den ökade globaliseringen och senaste finanskrisen ställer höga krav på uppföljning och medvetenhet av ett företags prestation. Business Intelligence (BI) är ett område vars syfte är att förbättra en organisations prestation genom analys av historisk data. BI är ett komplext område som inte bara handlar om tekniska lösningar, även om det är en förutsättning. För närvarande investeras det mycket i olika BI-lösningar och företagen behöver veta vad resurserna bör läggas på. I dagsläget finns det ingen modell som bedömer ett företags arbete med Business Intelligence utifrån ett flertal dimensioner. Syftet med den här studien var att utveckla en mognadsmodell för Business Intelligence och sedan jämföra de undersökta företagen Axfood, Scania och Systembolagets mognad. För att uppnå studiens syfte avsåg vi att besvara följande frågeställningar, ”Hur skulle en modell för att bedöma ett företags mognad inom Business Intelligence kunna se ut?” samt ”Vilka förutsättningar påverkar ett företags mognad inom Business Intelligence”. Mognadsmodellen (BIOMA) kom att bestå av fyra hörnstenar som i sin tur delades in i en eller flera underkategorier. Varje delkategori ger poäng som sedan infogas i ett koordinatsystem där axlarna motsvarar hörnstenarna och poängen utgår från origo. Att mäta ett företags mognad inom BI är komplext, då ett antal aspekter såsom organisationsstruktur, användarmedverkan samt klyftan mellan IT-avdelning och verksamhet kan påverka. Den teoretiska modellen är empiriskt testad. Respondenterna på respektive företag har bedömt hur långt de kommit inom varje hörnsten samt ge synpunkter på modellens utformning. Modellen har sedan förädlats utifrån det empiriska materialet. Vi anser att BIOMA har ett stort värde då det saknas en modell som visuellt och relativt enkelt beskriver ett företags mognad inom Business Intelligence. Modellen kan användas i olika syften, såsom benchmarking mellan processer och företag, säljstöd för konsulter samt vid förstudie för att klargöra ett företags nuläge. / The increased globalization and the recent financial crisis have put high demands on the monitoring and awareness of an organization's performance. Business Intelligence (BI) is an area which aims to improve this performance through analysis of historical data. BI is a complex question for organization’s because it involves more than just technical solutions for maximum performance. Organizations are currently investing in different BI solutions and a list of priorities has to be made to ensure balanced resource allocation within a BI-implementation. To this day no single business intelligence model exists that can adequately measure a company’s work from several perspectives. The purpose of this study was to develop a maturity model for BI and use it in a case study of three different well-known Swedish companies; Axfood, Scania and Systembolaget, to measure their BI-maturity. To achieve the purpose of the study, three distinct research questions arose; "What would a model for measuring a company’s Business Intelligence maturity look like? How would this model be constructed? And finally “What conditions could potentially affect an organization’s maturity in Business Intelligence?". The Maturity Model BIOMA (Business Intelligence Organizational Maturity Analysis) is made up of four categories, which in turn are divided into one or more sub-categories. A subcategory consists of several statements. Each statement carries a certain number of points. When the points are combined, the summarized amount is inserted into a coordinate system. Within this, the axies correspond to the pillars and the score is based on the origo-point. Measuring a company's BI-maturity is a complex research question, where a number of aspects such as organizational structure, end-user involvement, and the gap between IT department and business can be of great importance. BIOMA was empirically tested in the case study. The responders in each company judged their company based on the statements in each subcategory. Following this they made suggestions on ways to change the model. By applying these suggestions to the original material, the model was then redeveloped to create a final version. The model can be used for various purposes, such as processes within organizations or in benchmarking. It can also be used by consultants in Sales support as a pilot study for clarifying a company’s present BI-maturity. In this absence of a model that could visually describe a company’s BI maturity multidimensionally, we believe that BIOMA has substantial and existing business potential.

現代零售通路CRM計畫之診斷性架構: 策略4C模型與分析成熟模型之應用 / A diagnostic framework for CRM program in the modern trade retail sector: The applications of the strategic 4C model and analytical maturity model

劉建宏, Liu, Chien Hung (Claude) Unknown Date (has links)
本論文研究目的有三: (1) 釐清一般在忠誠度計劃定義上常見的錯誤觀念,進而探索CRM與忠誠度計劃之間的關係,並且發展一套實務上可用的忠誠度計劃分類方法; (2) 研究零售業CRM計劃中現行的戰術手法,並提供策略性建議給業者該如何校準戰術手法的重心並且相應地配置資源; (3) 發展一套可供現代零售業者自我診斷其CRM計劃在分析成熟性以及策略行銷重心的實務架構。 為達到研究目的,本研究首先探討在零售業,顧客關係管理(CRM),忠誠度計劃以及分類方法上的相關文獻以釐清忠誠度計劃定義上常見的錯誤觀念,進而說明CRM與忠誠度計劃之間的關係,最後發展一套實務上可用的忠誠度計劃分類方法。 其次,本研究先應用邱志聖博士(2010)的策略4C模型,分析現行零售CRM計劃的戰術手法,並且提供策略性建議給業者該如何校準戰術手法的重心並且相應地配置資源。 再次,本研究應用邱志聖博士(2010)的策略4C模型以及戴文波特博士與哈里斯女士(2007)的分析成熟模型於建構零售CRM計劃的兩階段診斷性架構。 後續深入的分析主要根據此架構而進行,同時根據零售業所處不同的分析成熟階段提出策略性建議。 對於零售業的高階主管,本研究的貢獻在於提出一套實務可行的診斷性架構,供主管重新檢視其CRM計劃在策略上的重心,並且能隨著公司規模成長,進而調整重心的優先順序。 對於CRM以及忠誠度計劃的從事者,本研究貢獻則在於零售CRM計劃,忠誠度計劃以及相關概念上的定義的建立正確觀念。 最後,本論文的研究發現亦可當作對CRM以及忠誠度行銷人員的策略性建議,尤其當在設計戰術手法之時,能針對公司所處不同的分析成熟階段,對焦CRM策略以及相應資源配置。 / The purpose of this thesis has three objectives: (1) clarify some common misunderstandings about definitions of loyalty scheme, explore the relationship between CRM and loyalty scheme, and develop a typology of loyalty scheme for practical use; (2) study on current tactics used within retail CRM programs and provide strategic advices on how to fine-tune the tactics focus and align resource accordingly; and (3) develop a practical framework that allows modern trade retailers for self-diagnosing their CRM programs in terms of analytical maturity and strategic marketing focus. To achieve the research goals, this research has firstly reviewed previous research on retail, CRM, loyalty schemes and its typology, and thus misunderstandings about definition of loyalty scheme, CRM, the relationship between CRM and loyalty scheme have explained and consequently a new typology of loyalty scheme has been developed. Second, strategic 4C model (Chiou 2010) is used in this research to analyze current tactics used within retail CRM programs and the strategic advices are generated on how to fine-tune the tactics focus and align resource accordingly. Third, this research adopted literature of strategic 4C model (Chiou 2010) and analytical maturity model (Davenport and Harris 2007) to form a two-stage diagnostic framework for retail CRM program. The further analysis is conducted based on this framework while strategic advices are provided to retailers of different analytical stage. The benefits for business executives in retail include a diagnostic framework allowing for strategically reviewing their CRM program focus and priority as retailers grows their business. The benefits for CRM and loyalty practitioners include building correct understandings about retail CRM program, loyalty scheme and related conceptual definitions. The findings in this study may serve as strategic advices to CRM or loyalty marketers to better align resources, when they design tactics, to companies’ CRM strategy at different analytical stage.

Chování lidí v projektech procesních změn / Human Behavior in Process Reengineering Projects

Svačinová, Hana January 2011 (has links)
The aim of this work is to acquaint the reader with the theory of human resources management, process reengineering area and related expressions. The work identifies personal types or groups of persons involved in the process reengineering projects and availability of defined human resources on the Czech market. Theoretical knowledge is described on two real projects of process reengineering - in small and purely Czech company and in large multinational company. On these projects also participated teams of different HR composition and scale, which allow to show interesting differences. Two projects only are certainly not relevant for the sample of general conclusions, but they are very useful to demonstrate specific examples of theory in practice. In a reengineering process also occur some problems caused by the type of projects, by process maturity, but also by the composition of human resources involved in the project. Parts of this work are crisis plans too - proposals for solving these crisis situations. I believe that the progress of the project is also affected by the level of stress put on the human resources, which is found in the survey that is part of this work. The survey compares whether the effects of stress changes team roles of specific project participants, including the composition of the project team. The research results are the main contribution of this work. The basis of the research is the definition of the team roles by Belbin. The main part sof this work are the basic terms and current level of examination of this area, it also contains examples of real projects, research and crisis plans.

Smart Contract Maturity Model

van Raalte, Jordy Jordanus Cornelius January 2023 (has links)
A smart contract is a recently emerging technology which enables agreement to be automatable by computers and enforceable by legal enforcement or tamper-proof execution of code. A majority of smart contracts are run on the blockchain which enables smart contract transactions without a central authority. Smart contract implementation contains several challenges which makes implementation more difficult. The problem is that organisations struggle to implement smart contracts due to the absence of documentation, standardisation, and guidelines making it difficult to know how a smart contract should be implemented. Additionally, it is unclear what capabilities and tools are required for smart contract implementation. Therefore, it is challenging for organisations to assess their own competence of smart contract implementation. This thesis aims to develop a Smart Contract Maturity Model (SCMM). The purpose of the model is to clarify the functionalities and capabilities required to implement a smart contract while also offering organisations the ability to assess the smart contract implementation competency. This improves the adoption of smart contracts. Through the help of the design science framework, the SCMM emerged from the thesis. Applying design science included explicating the problem, defining requirements, designing and developing the artefact, demonstrating and evaluating the artefact. A literature survey was used to explicate the problem and to define requirements for the maturity model. Furthermore, a case study including interviews were used to refine the requirements and to demonstrate and evaluate the SCMM. The SCMM includes maturity levels, generic goals and practices, specific goals, key processing areas and practices, tools, glossaries and smart contract examples. Inspired by the Capability Maturity model Model Integration for Development (CMMI-DEV), the maturity levels of the SCMM consisted of initial, foundation, managed, defined, quantitatively managed and optimising. The identified key processing areas were stakeholder capabilities, resources and tools, platform, contract implementation, standards, laws and terminology and security. Although there were several limitations, the SCMM contributed to the field of smart contracts by closing the gap of previous research and improving the adoption of smart contracts.

The Road to Become Agile : A case study of agile transformations in the retail market, including an organization development approach / Vägen till att Bli Agil

Rasch, Linnéa, Thun, Victor January 2020 (has links)
In today’s volatile market, retail companies struggle for survival as they have to become more flexible and dynamic. Thus, they change the organization, implementing agile methods. However agile is more than a set of practices and therefore the implementation process needs to be accompanied by organizational development to accomplish successful organizational change. This has been shown to be difficult for retail companies due to their size, defined silos, comfortable long-established ways of doing things and strong bureaucratic hierarchical culture. This thesis studies the implementation of agile in a large-scale retail organization and uses organizational development as a tool for deeper understanding and analysis. The study has been conducted at one of Sweden's leading retail organizations, where the research design contains two phases: one pre-study phase where a deeper understanding of the company and the transformation is achieved resulting in a problem formulation and the second phase where the main study is directed by the problem formulation and leads to an analysis and conclusion. The analysis is based on empirics gathered from three separate teams and is divided into three interconnected change phases, “Preparation”, “Implementation” and “Desired state”. From the analysis in the preparation and implementation phases; strengths and challenges within the organization were identified. Together with a maturity model to evaluate the implemented agile practices and an organizational culture assessment instrument to evaluate people and culture, the strengths and challenges were then used to estimate their current state and compare it to their future desired state. In conclusion, the strengths of the case company were that, when implemented, the observed teams incorporated the agile ceremonies and ways of work successfully. However, there were challenges identified in relation to resistance within management, there was a general lack of support from the sponsors and confusion about the managerial roles. There was also a lack of communication, cooperation and synchronizations between teams. / I dagens flyktiga marknader kämpar företag inom dagligvaruhandeln för att överleva då de måste bli mer flexibla och dynamiska i deras strategi. För att bemöta detta ändrar företagen sin strategi genom implementering av agila metoder. Emellertid handlar att vara agil inte bara om att använda sig av olika verktyg och övningar för att ändra hur man arbetar, utan för att implementeringen av agila metoder ska vara lyckad, måste den följas med av en lyckad organisationsförändring. En sådan agil implementering och organisationsförändring har visats vara komplicerad i just dagligvaruhandeln på grund av organisationernas ofta stora storlek, definierade silos, komfortabla gamla traditioner och starka hierarkiska organisationskultur. Denna uppsats studerar implementationen av agilt i ett storskaligt företag inom dagligvaruhandeln och använder sig av organisationsutveckling som ett verktyg för att nå en djupare förståelse och analys. Analysen är uppdelad i tre olika sammanhängande faser “Förberedelse”, “Implementering”, och “Önskat Tillstånd”. Empirin analysen är baserad på kommer från tre olika separata team, vilka är i olika faser av den agila transformationen. I förberedelse- och implementeringsfaserna identifieras styrkor och utmaningar hos företaget. Dessa används sedan tillsammans med en mognadhetsmodell, för att evaluera de agila tillvägagångssätten samt ett bedömningsinstrument för organisationskultur, för att evaluera personer och kultur, i syfte att sedan utvärdera det nuvarande tillståndet i jämförelse med det önskade. Sammanfattningsvis lyckades de observerade teamen att framgångsrikt implementera de agila metoderna och arbetssätten. Däremot identifierades flera utmaningar i relation till motstånd inom management. Det fanns en generell förvirring kring chefs rollernas betydelse och det saknades stöd från ledningsgruppen. Slutligen identifierades även förbättringsområden inom kommunikation, samarbete och synkronisering mellan olika team.

市場風險值管理之應用分析以某金融控股公司為例 / The analysis of Market Risk VaR management :the case of financial holding company

周士偉, Chou, Jacky Unknown Date (has links)
2008年次貸風暴橫掃全球金融市場,Basel II制度歷經多年的實施,卻無法有效防阻金融風暴的發生。觀察2008已採用內部模型法之主要國際金融機構之年報,亦發現採用蒙地卡羅模擬法之代表銀行『德意志銀行』於該年度竟發生了35次穿透,市場風險管理到底出了什麼問題?這是被極度關心的現象,產官學界也對此現象提出了許多議題。2012年的現在,次貸的風暴尚未遠去,新的歐債危機也正在蔓延,若金融風暴再次來臨,市場風險管理是否能克服次貸風暴後所凸顯的缺失,市場風險管理的價值除被動管理外,是否還可以進階到主動預警,以作為經營決策的重要參考資訊?這些都是國內金融機構需積極面對的急迫的市場風險管理議題。 個案金控的市場風險管理機制致力於解決次貸以來所凸顯的市場風險管理議題、提升市場風險衡量的精準度、擴大市場風險管理之應用範圍,並將市場風險管理的價值由被動管理角色進階到主動預警角色,以期作為經營決策的重要參考。經過多年的淬煉,其發展理念與經驗應具相當參考價值,故本論文以個案金融控股公司(以下簡稱個案金控)之實務經驗進行個案研究,除分析個案金控市場風險管理機制的基礎架構外,也將研究重心放在個案金控如何在此基礎架構下,開發多種進階市場風險量化管理功能。 本論文除研究個案金控如何完善市場風險值量化機制外,也對各量化功能的實施結果進行分析,以期研究成果可更客觀的作為其他金融控股公司未來發展進階市場風險衡量機制之參考。
