This paper analyzes employee competencies for employees with higher education in Industry 4.0. An Industry 4.0 competency model based on a behavioral oriented approach concerning three variants, namely Information Systems, Information Technology and Engineering is developed by extending the SHL Universal Competency Framework through a structured literature review and focus groups with academic ...

The purpose of this study is to gain a better understanding of employee portal success and to identify the levers for its improvement. We introduce a theoretical model for this that is based on the DeLone and McLean IS Success Model, which considers the specific requirements of employee portals. We tested the associations between our model’s different success dimensions by using more than 4,400...

This paper examines the applications most commonly run on the supercomputers at the Numerical Aerospace Simulation (NAS) facility. It analyzes the extent to which such applications are fundamentally oriented to vector computers, and whether or not they can be e ciently implemented on hierarchical memory machines, such as systems with cache memories and highly parallel, distributed memory system...

In this paper, we argue that object-oriented models must be able to represent three kinds of taxonomic structures: static subclasses, dynamic subclasses and role classes. If CAR is a static subclass of V EHICLE, then a vehicle that is not a car can never migrate to the CAR subclass. If EMPloyee is a dynamic subclass of PERSON, then a PERSON that is not an employee may migrate to EMP. In both ca...

Change has become a normal occurrence within organizations and especially municipalities, due to the rapid society and economic changes. In a competitive global economy, organizations are forced to stay abreast with environmental changes in order to survive. Employee readiness for change can be a determining factor of successful change. To recognize antecedents of change readiness, the present ...

We examine whether role plays have the potential to advance process-oriented behaviour (i.e. employees perform their activities while considering other activities and colleagues in the process) of employees in daily work practices. Process-oriented behaviour is difficult to achieve. In our paper we argue that role plays in which participants take over fictitious roles are a promising learning m...

We study the employee retention and job assignment strategy of growth-oriented entrepreneurial firms in which the employee’s capability is unknown to both the firm and the employee. As the employee performs his task, both the firm and the employee update their common belief about the employee’s capability based on the noisy profit stream from the employee’s performance. The firm seeks to dismis...

Service oriented architectures (SOAs) are a new paradigm in IT-management. This paper presents an SOA-implementation in the intranet portal of a 520-employee research institute, which was launched to accompany parallel knowledge-management (KM) activities. Furthermore it explains the benefits of an SOA-based IT-landscape for KM-activities.
