Track topics
The following thematic focuses serve as orientation and should be understood as an open invitation to submit contributions
Digital strategy and platform economy
Digital transformation demands new business models, fundamentally changes business processes and finds new market forms. It is important to clarify whether production, processing and service can be separated at all in a digital economy and which industry specifics (logistics, security, healthcare, IT, etc.) are essential. The main topics are:
- Sharing Economy
- Social Business and Entrepreneurship
- Innovation and change management
- Flexibilisation of business models and organisation
- Agility in management and leadership
Knowledge transfer, competence acquisition and knowledge work
The creation of knowledge and the associated processes of development, sharing, use and preservation are more challenging than ever against the backdrop of demographics, diversity and internationality. The digital transformation leads to new demands on the competences of all actors in the field of data literacy. These require changed learning processes and arrangements, which in turn require further development and opening of educational institutions. Keywords are, among others:
- 21st Century Skills for Knowledge Work and Lifelong Learning and Learning in Communities
- Learning, teaching and personalisation
- Networked knowledge repositories, educational data, AI and data literacy
- Breaking up educational monopolies, competition in (further) education
- Community Management and New Work Design
Cooperation in public spaces andparticipatory processes
Design approaches for public spaces are inconceivable without online-supported communication; the digital transformation is increasingly becoming the framework for action of public administration and (social) participation. An increase in crisis situations is changing the role and communication of politics and its perception by the public. The resilience of authorities, public bodies and NGOs is becoming increasingly important.
- Accessible online services
- Participation, co-construction and prosumption in digital formats
- Competencies and framework conditions for e-government,
- Sustainability and resilience in the public sector
Hybrid application scenarios forcollaborative interaction
Human-computer interaction is part of everyday life and often takes on social communication functions. Smart devices are our partners for the accomplishment of daily tasks. Playful elements in digital formats innovate parts of our everyday life in leisure, education, human resources development or organisational design.
- User Experience, Usability and MobileFirst
- Augmented, virtual reality and mixed reality, hybrid and immersive experiences•new (interactive) visualisation possibilities of information and knowledge
- Gamification and Game Based Learning
- Playful Leadership und Playful Organization
