Project Joint Expertise*
for Responsible, Sustainable and Global Aware Management, 01.01.2017-31.12.2021
* Funded by the DAAD and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development in the subject-related partnerships with universities in developing countries program
With the project “Joint Expertise” we aim to form a multi-level, permanent and academic cooperation in responsible, sustainable and global aware management education and practice especially for master and doctoral students between the University of Technology Chemnitz, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration and the University of Kwazulu-Natal (UKZN), School of Management, IT and Governance.
We are collaborating since many years with UKZN and intend to conceptualize, test and certify a new master program in Durban within the project together. Thereby, we will transfer the knowledge around the topics and the experience of adequate methods and modules. We will implement interactive workshops and supervised reflections in a recursive procedure consisting of theoretical and practical parts. During the four years of cooperation the project focusses on intercultural, academic and practical exchange of knowledge, students and staff. Therefor multifunctional and cross-continental attendances in South Africa, Germany and at further international universities are planned.
Chemnitz students will have the unique opportunity to include modules and research topics of the newly developed master program in their local curriculum. For participants of both universities bilateral research projects and collaborative work on publications and presentations on conferences will be introduced and expand intercultural skills. Furthermore, academic cooperation of mixed cultural tandems or small groups will contribute to the international research and provide the chance for international cooperation and contacts.

SIS - Accompanying research to the dialogue series and future platform "Sozial.Innovativ.Sächsisch"
Project duration: 09.2021 - 12.2021
Social innovations have the potential to shape social change in a future-oriented manner. With them, challenges such as regional structural change or an aging society can be met and people can be won over to a stronger coexistence. The Saxon State Ministry for Social Affairs and Social Cohesion promotes the development and networking of people from civil society, social economy, social entrepreneurship, politics and municipalities as part of a series of dialogues Sozial.Innovativ.Sächsisch.
In three events, current social challenges as well as options for action and framework conditions that enable and promote social innovations will be discussed in lectures, panel discussions and practical pitches. In addition, interviews are held with local experts to discuss opportunities and risks as well as strengths and weaknesses for social innovations in Saxony.
The chair for innovation research and technology management mainly accompanies the data collection and data evaluation in the context of this project. He acts as a project partner of VDI/VDI-IT and the Social Entrepreneurship Network Germany(SEND e.V.).

Pilot project editorial volume
For us, the unity of research and teaching is not just an idea, but lived practice. In the spirit of Humboldt, we would like to see students not only as learners, but also as researchers. In this pilot project, we have set ourselves the goal of introducing students of the master’s program "Management and Organization Studies" to the research process even more than before by enabling them to prepare good to very good seminar papers through an integrated peer review process and within the framework to publish an edited volume of our professorship. The publication value of the work is not only determined by the grade awarded, but in particular by the novelty value of the scientific investigation. Both empirical studies and works are selectedwhich are dedicated to the conceptual positioning of the topic. This voluntary extra work is rewarded with a learning experience that is more likely to be offered in this form in structured doctoral programs. In addition, this results in early publication channels that enable further differentiation of the training profile or support self-selection processes. In this way, an early bridge to further scientific activity should be shown and the "In this way, an early bridge to further scientific activity is to be shown and the "In this way, an early bridge to further scientific activity is to be shown and the "Taste for Science". In contrast to the (technical) university-oriented practical orientation, we also want to work out an original task of the university in the sense of a unique selling point, which we don't pay enough attention to in economics: the development of tomorrow's scientists.
After successfully completing the pilot project, we would like to implement this type of connection between teaching and research in our chair portfolio.

Social innovation - contributions from the innovation research of the Technical University of Chemnitz
The editorial volume of the pilot project will be under the topic "Social Innovation". As part of the seminar "Strategic Innovation Management - Innovation as a Social Process" offered in the 2015 summer semester by Sophie Strobel MA and Dipl.-Hdl. Julia Breßler wrote nine seminar papers, among other things, which generate added scientific value for the lecturers and advance the empirical studies in the field of social innovations. They are primarily concerned with the conceptual classification of social innovation, the emergence and course of this type of innovation as well as the controllability and evaluation of this phenomenon. The review and publication process took place from April to July 2016.

Growth and internationalization strategies for the digitization of consulting (WISDiBe)
R&D project in cooperation with Sii - Studio Innovatiors International Europe GmbH Dresden
Studio Innovators International Europe GmbH, Sii for short, is a young company from Dresden. Sii has developed a cloud-based software that enables the implementation of a consultation, the documentation of the content shown, as well as the subsequent analysis and thus also the improvement of the consultation.
In the medium and long term, other markets are of great interest to Sii. On the one hand, this relates to industries in which the software could be used within the framework of standardized verbal communication processes. On the other hand, the applicability or the potential customer interest in new target countries or regions for the sectors already addressed is to be examined. Because of this, it is necessary for the project team on the one hand to create market analyzes and, if necessary, market entry strategies for the internationalization of the software, and on the other hand to examine the requirements of other industries and the respective industry attractiveness with regard to the market entry of the software. Based on these analyzes and evaluations, recommendations should also be made with regard to new orchanged requirements for the existing software can be derived. The project thus moves at the interface between international management / marketing (market entry strategies / internationalization) and strategic innovation management (market entry into new industries / product development).
Target
The market launch of Sii's existing software is to be researched, checked and evaluated in additional countries and other industries.
Central questions
Questions to be dealt with in the project:
- Which concepts and theories are suitable? Which empirical findings already exist on the topic?
- For which other industries does the Sii software appear suitable? What additional software requirements are there in these industrial sectors? Would a market entry be attractive for Sii? Which entry strategy would be recommended for Sii?
- For which new markets does the use of Sii's software appear suitable? What additional software requirements are there in these new markets? Would a market entry be attractive for Sii? Which entry strategy would be recommended for Sii?

Energy self-sufficient, wireless piezoelectric MEMS sensors and actuators in medical technology and Industry 4.0
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have become elementary components in our everyday life to this day: As sensors in entertainment electronics and medical technology as well as sensors and actuators in industry, their influence ranges from the detection of acoustic and mechanical vibrations to the detection of movement and temperature and humidity measurement, from gas analysis to micro-optical, medical technology products. Industry roadmaps (Bosch, Intel, TI, HP, Yole, and many more) predict exponential growth to up to a trillion sensors per year by 2021, driven by the development of IoT (Internet of Things). In the future, “smart systems” will be required in particular for applications in medical diagnostics, which Energy self-sufficient, wireless and highly miniaturized can be produced. Examples of this are catheter-based pressure measurements or endoscope-based imaging methods for direct (in vivo) use in the human body. The aim of the work of this research group is to develop solutions for these tasks and to verify them on the basis of two demonstrators, which, compared to the state of the art, enable highly miniaturized, non-invasive or minimally invasive diagnostics and thus greatly reduced stress for the patient. The project thus addresses, among other things, IuK-Technologien for medical technology that play a key role in coping with the take demographic change.

Reflective use of resources as an activity
Sustainability management in the context of socially oriented organizations (RESTON)
Responsible entrepreneurship and organizational sustainability
are now an indispensable topic on the agenda of every progressive organizational management. Sustainable resource management is particularly important for non-profit organizations (NPO) and non-governmental organizations (NGO).
The regenerative and generating use of material and immaterial resources seems to be decisive here (Albert et al. 2015).
Intention and goal setting
The project intends to link the organizational and individual implementation of sustainability strategies in NPOs, the focus of which is a technical and emancipatory interest in knowledge. We are pursuing three goals:
-
Conceptualization of an analytical sustainability management based on activity theory
-
Promotion of a typology of sustainable activities in NPO
-
Development of a design concept for the reflective resource approach
Method
Project management
The project will be implemented from April 1st, 2017 to March 31st, 2018 in five work packages:
Project management: Dipl.-Hdl. Julia Breßler (bis 15.7.2017); Dr. Martin Albert (ab 16.7.2017)
Project staff: Annemarie Donath, Sabine Landow, Tommi Löffler, Nicole Wendisch, Sabine Zweigert

Acceptance and participation in autonomous driving in public transport (APA trip)
The project “Acceptance and Participation in Autonomous Driving in Public Transport (APAFahrt)” examines the interplay of wishes, goals and fears of the participating and affected scientific, economic and civil society actors within the framework of the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC)in the Erzgebirgskreis with regard to autonomous driving Driving by rail and the associated technologies such as 5G or sensors in public spaces.
On the basis of document analyzes, interviews, various participation offers and a representative population survey, needs and opportunities for information, consultation and participation in relation to the innovations developed in current and future projects will be worked out from July 2021 to June 2023. This promotes the innovation-based structural change in the region by enabling and expanding sustainable mobility and the economic success of the companies involved.
Embedding and aim of the project
APAFahrt is embedded as a single project in the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC), which is part of the “WIR! - Change through innovation in the region funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
WIR! promotes projects that are intended to initiate sustainable structural change through the formation of regional innovation alliances from research institutions, companies and civil society actors in structurally weak regions.
In this context, it is the aim of the SRCC as a neutral institutional and infrastructural platform in the Erzgebirgskreis "[..] to initiate and promote innovations in the field of digital networking and communication in rail traffic, which above all gradually promote automated driving on the rails and integration of rail traffic in multimodal networked mobility offers. " This is intended to promote and enable sustainable mobility in the region and to contribute to the economic success of the companies involved.
Such a structural change, which is based on innovations such as 5G cell phone masts, which can generate resistance in the population, requires the creation of acceptance through information (to present the facts) and consultation (for communicative processing) in order to be successful.
The goals of “APAFahrt” are therefore the analysis of (technology) acceptance in the Erzgebirge district, the creation of various opportunities for participation within the framework of the Smart Rail Connectivity Campus (SRCC) and the derivation of a decision heuristic that relates to relevant factors for current and future projects within the framework of of the SRCC enables a decision about needs and possibilities of acceptance and participation.

Research Project: Value Capital Innovation
The study explores the field of sustainable finance and economic sustainability Value-based finance and investment concepts for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saxony and should be taken as an innovation-supporting measure within the framework of the State Technology Funding Saxony at the SAB. The background to this study is that the 2030 Agenda clearly calls for SMEs to be promoted and for financial resources to be made available that serve sustainable development (United Nations, 2015). This task and requirement should be examined in the Saxon context. Questions need to be addressed as to which local challenges there are with regard to financial aspects and what these actually look like and which solutions exist for them. And even if we in Saxony (and many industrialized nations) do not have to face the same problems as, for example, women in India,who feed their families with the help of, for example, microcredits for their small business, we also discriminate against women, for example, when it comes to financial instruments for entrepreneurial activity. Generally speaking, the The problem with financial resources and sustainability is that financial instruments (worldwide) are not designed in such a way that they serve an economy that in turn tries to serve sustainable development. The first steps seem to have been prepared, some of which can cover the financing requirements, for example with impact investing for inventions that have already been tried and tested with clear social effects. Interventions in earlier stages, however, will not find a financing solution. It is therefore still necessary to record and scientifically process the status quo from the perspective of many groups of actors, such as those associated with an innovation system. Specifically, there is a need for co-creative financing options (Value Capital Innovations) that are aimed at sustainable inventions in early stages of business model development.
Design Science Research
The study is to be completed in 24 months. The duration is divided into three phases, which are based on the design science research process in order to combine the practical context including challenges with the theoretical knowledge base in order to finally design innovative financial instruments and evaluate them with the actors (Hevner, 2007). The specialty of the Design Science Research approach lies in the combination of "rigor and relevance", ie the requirement of a scientific foundation while at the same time observing practical relevance. The stakeholder groups, i.e. SMEs, founders, investors and citizens are integrated into the recording of the challenges and the evaluation of possible concepts and their requirements for sustainable funding.This takes place as a "dialogue", which at the beginning of the study aims to identify the challenges, structures and problems. At the end of the study, he accelerates the discussion of possible financial instruments as well as their improved access and relevant systemic changes that are required for them. Between these dialogue phases with the actors there is the processing and connection with the theoretical knowledge base.
