@article{61445, abstract = {{ABSTRACT In recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the importance of incorporating diversity into research projects, focusing on both how they are conducted and their content. Funding organizations have started to require that research applicants pay attention to inclusion and diversity by considering gender dimensions and other diversity factors in their project plans and ensuring gender equality during execution. Based on an extensive literature research and expert discussions on how to develop and implement diversity strategies in large collaborative research projects, we argue that there is a lack of practical advice in existing literature. Drawing from our own experiences in conceptualizing and implementing a Diversity Program across four universities in Germany, we propose a framework for effectively integrating diversity into collaborative research initiatives across various academic fields.}}, author = {{Lorke, Mariya and Amelung, Rena and Kuchling, Peter and Paaßen, Benjamin and Pein-Hackelbusch, Miriam and Schloots, Franziska Margarete and Schulz, Klara and Nauerth, Annette}}, journal = {{Diversity & Inclusion Research}}, keywords = {{collaborative research projects, diversity strategy, gender equality}}, number = {{4}}, pages = {{e70040}}, title = {{{Development and Implementation of Diversity Programs in Large Collaborative Research Projects: An Example From Germany}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1002/dvr2.70040}}, volume = {{2}}, year = {{2025}}, } @article{52201, author = {{Han, Daxin and Kappe, Fabian and Vorderbrüggen, Julian and Jendrny, Jörg and Gorr, Eugen and Meschut, Gerson}}, issn = {{1526-6125}}, journal = {{Journal of Manufacturing Processes}}, keywords = {{Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Management Science and Operations Research, Strategy and Management}}, pages = {{92--108}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{Single-step self-punching lockbolt process for aluminum sheets without pre-hole}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jmapro.2024.02.043}}, volume = {{116}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{52229, author = {{Bruns, Bastian and Gross, Michel and Grünewald, Marcus and Bertsch, Valentin and Riese, Julia}}, issn = {{0959-6526}}, journal = {{Journal of Cleaner Production}}, keywords = {{Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, Strategy and Management, General Environmental Science, Renewable Energy, Sustainability and the Environment, Building and Construction}}, publisher = {{Elsevier BV}}, title = {{{A multi-step framework for the design of a flexible power-to-methane process}}}, doi = {{10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.141434}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{56420, abstract = {{There are a number of school choice problems in which students are heterogeneous according to the number of seats they occupy at the school they are assigned to.

Research and Development (R&D) plays a vital role in innovation. As technology advances and product life cycles become shorter, firms rely on R&D as a strategy to invigorate innovation. R&D project portfolio selection is a complex and challenging task. Despite the management's efforts to implement the best project portfolio selection practices, many projects continue to fail or miss their target. The problem is that selecting R&D projects requires a deep understanding of strategic vision and technical capabilities. However, many decision-makers lack technological insight or strategic vision. This article aims to provide a method to capitalize on the expertise of R&D professionals to assist managers in making informed and effective decisions. It also provides a framework for aligning the portfolio of R&D projects with the organizational vision and mission.Design/methodology/approachThis article proposes a new strategic approach for R&D project portfolio selection using efficiency-uncertainty maps.FindingsThe proposed strategy plane helps decision-makers align R&D project portfolios with their strategies to combine a strategic view and numerical analysis in this research. The proposed strategy plane consists of four areas: Exploitation Zone, Challenge Zone, Desperation Zone and Discretion Zone. Mapping the project into this strategic plane would help decision-makers align their project portfolio according to the corporate perspectives.Originality/valueThe new approach combines the efficiency and uncertainty dimensions in portfolio selection into an integrated framework that: (i) provides a complete representation of the stochastic decision-making processes, (ii) models the endogenous uncertainty inherent in the project selection process and (iii) proposes a computationally practical and visually unique solution procedure for classifying desirable and undesirable R&D projects.}}, author = {{Namazi, Mehdi and Tavana, Madjid and Mohammadi, Emran and Bonyadi Naeini, Ali}}, issn = {{1463-5771}}, journal = {{Benchmarking: An International Journal}}, keywords = {{Business and International Management, Strategy and Management}}, number = {{10}}, pages = {{4193--4220}}, publisher = {{Emerald}}, title = {{{A new strategic approach for R&D project portfolio selection using efficiency-uncertainty maps}}}, doi = {{10.1108/bij-02-2022-0129}}, volume = {{30}}, year = {{2023}}, } @article{44687, abstract = {{Entwicklungsprojekte stehen in einem Spannungsfeld von Volatilität, Unsicherheit, Komplexität und Ambiguität (VUCA).

They were unable to realize possible synergies between the two companies, which brought complementary resources into the merger. Furthermore, they did not account for the institutional embeddedness of strategies when they adopted lean production globally, diffused the production system developed in Germany to other parts of the world and tried to implement a global stock enlisted in New York and Frankfurt. The underlying theoretical framework is relevant for other merger and acquisition cases. It features institutional embeddedness, path dependency and institutional arbitrage.Originality/valueThe paper develops an institutional perspective on DaimlerChrysler and on cross-border merger and acquisition failure more generally. The perspective is organized around the varieties-of-capitalism approach.
