This Master Thesis covers two main Topics: Sharing Economy and Risk Management and combines them in frames of this paper in order to provide a methodology (Uber was chosen as an example) of how a risk management process may be applied to a Sharing Economy business, as well as which types of risks are of special relevance for those types of businesses.
Internationalization and business expansion appear to be the most challenging processes in business conduction today. Every step of the foreign market entry process and overseas operations establishment is full of obvious risks and hidden pitfalls. Theoretical background, multiplied with the vital practice, is playing the key role in such a complicated business process; such information can be used as a guideline by further market entrants and players. At present, Germany with its well-developed engineering industry represents a broad space for research of internationalization process in its different forms, as well as can show both successful and negative results of foreign market entries.
This master thesis was developed based on public information about Linde AG. It analyzed and evaluated macroeconomic factors influencing the pеrformance of the company. Microeconomic and macroeconomic indicators play the central role for the financial management of each global company. Thus, performance measurement is important for understanding the vаlue and extent of the environment. The study of the thesis aims at estimating the extent to which a company may opеrate on the global market and what factors contribute to its performance the most.
Firstly, the thesis examines theoretical background based on the previous researches. It defines the specific macroeconomic and microeconomic factors and their role in the company’s performance. Afterwards the thesis analyses Linde AG activities on domestic and foreign markets. The present structure, the current position in the markets and financial indicators are analyzed. The correlation and regression analysis were developed with the aim to find the links between the company’s performance and the macroeconomic environment. It is believed that inflation, exchange and interest rates as well as stock market index have a significant influence on the Linde’s performance.
The results showed that the indicators of inflation rate and stock market index play a significant role in the Linde’s performance. Thus, when it comes to exchanging rates, more data needs to be evaluated in order to derive concrete conclusions.
This master thesis covers the topics of Customer relationships formation in the IT-outsourcing market on the example of “ABC” company. Most works related to the topic IT outsourcing cover the problems of implementation of IT services and the process of providing them to the customers and mostly all the issues are covered from the perspec-tive of consumers. Thus, problems and results of outsourcing providers of IT services remain almost uncovered. This master thesis is to reveal the specific features of IT out-sourcing business in Belarus and to develop an approach to the formation and construc-tion of a system of relationships between the company and its clients as a source of competitiveness increase.
Applications and Potential Impacts of Blockchain Technology in Logistics and Supply Chain Areas
(2022)
The motive of the present thesis is to analyze the applications and potential impacts of blockchain technology in the logistics and supply chain areas. For this purpose, the literature from different sources has been used to analyze and get an overview of the current status and role of blockchain technology within the logistics and supply chain areas. Different use cases, as well as pilot projects from organizations all over the world and also from Germany, have been included. Suggestions for further applications and implementations of blockchain technology along with their potential impacts have been made. Additionally, the cost of implementing blockchain-based solutions and applications has been estimated along with providing recommendations and suggestions for important and key points to be considered before preparing and deciding to implement blockchain-based solutions in any organization.
How Covid-19 impacts the workplace of knowledge workers in a pandemic and post pandemic world
(2021)
The following master thesis covers the topic workplace. The focus lies on the corona pandemic and how the pandemic has affected and will continue to affect the workplaces of knowledge workers. Therefore, the workplace as a research area has been described holistically, followed by the presentation of gathered secondary data and the conducted in depth interviews by the author. The presented secondary data and primary data are agreeing in the workplace how people know it will be changed after the pandemic. The most likely outcome is the hybrid workplace concept which mixes the home office, the office and alternatively third places. For these changes the companies have to be equipped and prepared. The meaning of the office will increase and has to be redesigned in order to meet the needs of the knowledge workers which are coming back to the office eventually.
This thesis focuses on the introduction of a process for the fracture toughness testing of epoxy resin systems, in the light of the linear elastic fracture mechanic approach. Based on the requirements of ISO 13586, SENB-specimen were designed and especially the precracking process was analysed and the tapping process was optimized by designing and testing a drop-weight device. After successful validating the test process using specimen made of Araldite LY556, the in uence of GNP loading on the fracture toughness was analysed. The pure epoxy showed a KIc of 0.73 MPap
m, being perfectly in line with the manufacturers datasheet. A peak in fracture toughness of 0.83 MPap
m was archived at 1 wt% and a loading rate of 10 mm/min, showing a decreasing trend as the loading is increased further. As the loading rate is increased, the fracture toughness reduces slightly for 0.5 wt% and 2 wt% GNP, but
drops signicantly for 1 wt% GNP obliterating the peak. The load vs. displacement curves showed quasi-brittle material behaviour. The fracture surfaces were analysed using SEM and while the neat resin did not show any features, did the reinforced samples show pattern of crack pinning in connection with bridging and pull-out. The resulting improvement is less signicant as observed by other researchers for larger GNPs. This is in line with the general idea, that small particles are not able to yield as high improvements, but the signicant decrease for higher loading rates is not observed or described so far. It is suspected that tests at lower loading rates (e.g. 1 or 0.5 mm/min) show an even higher fracture toughness.
The theoretical foundations of enterprise management using information technology were reviewed; analysis of the effectiveness of the use of information systems in the enterprise; ways of improving the enterprise management mechanism using information systems (on example of Mars Wrigley Confectionery Belarus) have been developed.
Implementation of a customised business model for innovative engineering consultancy services
(2019)
Business development is vital for every organisation who intend to grow. It follows expansion through organic and inorganic means. Also, there are many innovative business styles which help organisations to expand. This thesis shows how engineering services organisation chose its form of business expansion
The following thesis explains how engineering service sector company uses its expertise to expand its business towards consultancy market with the demonstration of the real-life executed business model.
The thesis provides a solution for the following issues
1) What is the best in-house strategy to be developed for business expansion in the service industry?
2) How did the niche market experiences help for business expansion?
