Subprojects

SP 1:  Fair, individualised and reliable planning and management

Key Question:

How can we model and learn about the preferences of staff and customers regarding innovation, and take these into account in our planning?

SP 2: Value-oriented steering of dynamic-adaptive technology diffusion, with particular emphasis on the social dimension of innovations

Key Question: 

What role does the decision-making behaviour of social systems play in the assessment and modelling of the uncertain investment and diffusion dynamics of innovations?

SP 3: Reducing resistance and increasing acceptance of innovative, intelligent systems 

Key Question:

How can acceptance be increased and resistance reduced when introducing innovations?

TP 4: The role of profit-oriented companies and their employees in social innovation

Key Question: 

What problems do profit-oriented companies encounter when disseminating social innovation?

TP 5: Reconstructing the field forces in social networks during the genesis and diffusion of innovations

Key Question: 

How do social processes and psychological motives act as field forces in innovation processes?

SP 6: The impact of technical innovations within the context of structural change in the world of work on workers 

Key Question: 

How are workers’ work orientations and attitudes related to the successful implementation of innovations?

+  Collaborative Project ZSM

SP 7:What role do technical innovations play in transnational socialisation processes?

Key Question: 

What role do technical innovations play in transnational socialisation processes?

SP 8: Predicting the acceptance of innovations through qualitative discourse analysis

Key Question:

How can qualitative linguistic discourse analysis contribute to predicting the likelihood of technical innovations being accepted?

SP 9: Sequential decision-making strategies for complex optimisation problems under uncertainty and disturbances

Key Question: 

How can sequence-dependent optimisation methods be further developed to provide robust and adaptive solutions to complex decision-making problems under dynamic conditions?
