For use as a final product, it is important that the parts have good mechanical properties, high dimensional accuracy and smooth surfaces. The knowledge of the mechanical properties is very important for the design engineer when it comes to the component design. End-use products out of the FDM process have to resist applied forces. In this paper, investigations were conducted with the polymer Polyamide 12 (FDM Nylon 12) from Stratasys Inc. This polymer can be processed with three different tip sizes resulting in different layer thicknesses from 178 µm to 330 µm. Thus, the mechanical properties were determined for these layer thicknesses and for different orientations on the build platform. In addition to the mechanical properties the thermal properties (e.g. with a DSC analysis) are also investigated.}}, author = {{Knoop, F. and Schöppner, Volker}}, booktitle = {{26th Annual International Solid Freeform Fabrication Symposium}}, pages = {{935--948}}, title = {{{Mechanical and Thermal Properties of FDM Parts manufactured with Polyamide 12}}}, doi = {{http://utw10945.utweb.utexas.edu/sites/default/files/2015/2015-77-Knoop.pdf}}, volume = {{26}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{7722, author = {{Eggert, A and Steinhoff, L and Witte, C}}, booktitle = {{2015 AMA Summer Marketing Educators' Conference Proceedings}}, title = {{{ You Might Want to Engage Your Customers, But Choose Them Wisely: The Mixed Effects of Company-Initiated Customer Engagement on Customer Loyalty}}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{7723, author = {{Cramer, C and Böhm, E and Eggert, A}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 44th European Marketing Academy (EMAC) Conference}}, title = {{{Stock Market Reactions to Business Service Outsourcing in Manufacturing Firms}}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{7724, author = {{Feider, L and Garnefeld, I and Böhm, E}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 44th European Marketing Academy (EMAC) Conference}}, title = {{{Threatening customers not to return – An effective strategy for online retailers?}}}, year = {{2015}}, } @proceedings{7760, editor = {{Engstler, Martin and Fazal-Baqaie, Masud and Hanser, Eckhart and Mikusz, Martin and Volland, Alexander}}, publisher = {{GI, Köllen Druck+Verlag GmbH, Bonn}}, title = {{{Projektmanagement und Vorgehensmodelle 2015: Hybride Projektstrukturen erfolgreich umsetzen - Proceedings der gemeinsamen Tagung der Fachgruppen WI-PM und WI-VM im Fachgebiet Wirtschaftsinformatik der Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.}}}, volume = {{P-250}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{8067, author = {{Fazal-Baqaie, Masud and Grieger, Marvin and Sauer, Stefan}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 16th International Conference of Product Focused Software Development and Process Improvement (PROFES 2015)}}, pages = {{167--181}}, publisher = {{Springer}}, title = {{{Tickets without Fine - Artifact-based Synchronization of Globally Distributed Software Development in Practice}}}, doi = {{dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-26844-6_12}}, volume = {{9459}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{8068, author = {{Fazal-Baqaie, Masud and Raninen, Anu}}, booktitle = {{Industrial Proceedings of the 22nd European Systems Software & Service Process Improvement & Innovation Conference (EuroSPI²2015)}}, pages = {{5.1 -- 5.10}}, publisher = {{WHITEBOX, Denmark}}, title = {{{Successfully Initiating a Global Software Project}}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{8069, abstract = {{Die cloudbasierte Bereitstellung von Funktionen als Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) ermöglicht die Erschließung neuer Kundenpotenziale bei kleinen und mittelgroßen Unternehmen.}}, author = {{Nagel, Benjamin and Schröder, Klaus and Becker, Steffen and Sauer, Stefan and Engels, Gregor}}, booktitle = {{Software Engineering & Management 2015}}, pages = {{255--260}}, title = {{{Kooperative Methoden- und Werkzeugentwicklung zur Cloudmigration von proprietären Anwendungskomponenten}}}, doi = {{https://groups.uni-paderborn.de/fg-engels/Publications/10.1007/978-3-319-26844-6_12}}, volume = {{LNI-239}}, year = {{2015}}, } @inproceedings{5678, abstract = {{Many academic disciplines - including information systems, computer science, and operations management - face scheduling problems as important decision making tasks.

Smart services are delivered to or via intelligent objects that feature awareness and connectivity. For service researchers and managers, one of the most fascinating aspects of smart service provision is that the connected object is able to sense its own condition and its surroundings and thus allows for real-time data collection, continuous communication and interactive feedback. Design/methodology/approach – This article is based on discussions in the workshop on “Fresh perspectives on technology in service” at the International Network of Service Researchers on September 26, 2014 at CTF, Karlstad, Sweden. The paper summarizes the discussion on smart services, adds an extensive literature review, provides examples from business practice and develops a structured approach to new research avenues. Findings – We propose that smart services vary on their individual level of autonomous decision-making, visibility and embeddedness in objects and customer lives. Based on a discussion of these characteristics, we identify research avenues regarding the perception and nature of smart services, the adoption of smart services, the innovation through smart services as well as regarding the development of new business models. Originality/value – Smart services is a new emerging topic in service marketing research, their implications on organizations, customers and the service landscape have not been fully explored.

Especially technology-based self-service channels have found their way into the 21st century service economy. While research embraces these channels for their cost-efficiency, it has not examined whether a shift from personal to self-service affects customer–firm relationships. Drawing from the service-dominant logic and its central concept of value-in-context, we discuss customers’ value creation in self-service and personal service channels and examine the long-term impact of these channels on customer retention. Using longitudinal customer data, we investigate how the ratio of self-service versus personal service use influences customer defection over time. Our findings suggest that the ratio of self-service to personal service used affects customer defection in a U-shaped manner, with intermediate levels of both self-service and personal service use being associated with the lowest likelihood of defection. We also find that this effect mitigates over time. We conclude that firms should not shift customers toward self-service channels completely, especially not at the beginning of a relationship. Our study underlines the importance of understanding when and how self-service technologies create valuable customer experiences and stresses the notion of actively managing customers’ cocreation of value. }}, author = {{Scherer, Anne and Wünderlich, Nancy and Von Wangenheim, Florian}}, issn = {{0276-7783.}}, journal = {{MIS Quarterly}}, keywords = {{customer defection, customer retention, e-service, longitudinal, Self-service, value-in-context}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{177--200}}, publisher = {{MIS RC}}, title = {{{The Value of Self-Service: Long-Term Effects of Technology-Based Self-Service Usage on Customer Retention.}}}, volume = {{39}}, year = {{2015}}, } @article{5705, abstract = {{Despite the growing literature on loyalty program (LP) research, many questions remain underexplored.
