DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe discipline of design studies applies various technologies, from basic theory to application systems, while intelligence engineering encompasses computer-aided industrial design, human-factor design, and greenhouse design, and plays a major part within design science. Intelligence engineering technologies also include topics from theory and application, such as computational technologies, sensing technologies, and video detection. This book presents the proceedings of DSIE2023, the 2023 International Symposium on Design Studies and Intelligence Engineering, held on 28 & 29 October 2023 in Hangzhou, China. The conference provides a platform for professionals and researchers from industry and academia to present and discuss recent advances in the fields of design studies and intelligence engineering. It also fosters cooperation among the organizations and researchers involved in these overlapping fields, and invites internationally renowned professors to further explore these topics in some depth, providing the opportunity for them to discuss the technical presentations with conference participants. In all, 275 submissions were received for the conference, 105 of which were accepted after thorough review by 3 or 4 referees for presentation at the conference and inclusion here. Providing a valuable overview of the latest developments, the book will be of interest to all those working in the fields of design studies and intelligence engineering.

Learning Rates of Electric Vehicles

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGovernments of many countries consider the electrification of individual passenger transport as a suitable strategy to decrease oil dependency and reduce transport-related carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutant emissions. However, battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles (PHEVs) have been more expensive than their conventional counterparts and suffer from relatively short electric driving ranges, which still hampers the market potential of these vehicles. Despite persisting shortfalls, mechanisms such as technological learning and economics of scale promise to improve the techno-economic performance of BEVs and PHEVs in the short- to mid-term. Here, the author seeks to obtain insight into the techno-economic prospects of BEVs and PHEVs by: (i) establishing experience curves and (ii) quantifying user costs and the costs of mitigating carbon dioxide and air pollutant emissions in a time-series analysis. The analysis captures the situation in Germany between 2010 and 2016.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book introduces the integrated management concept of "Sustainable Value Creation", which delivers sustainability ‘inside-out’ from the core business. It is based on the premise that sustainability can provide a platform for growth, if it is implemented in a company’s products, services and supply chains (combined also known as the 'Value Chain'). Managing the Value Chain from the outset with a sustainability mindset subsequently allows profitable economical, ecological and societal growth. It combines the need for increased sustainability and its implementation in the operations of a company. The book addresses the following issues: How do economic, environmental and societal factors impact the value-creation process of a company? What requirements and expectations need to be met to balance economic, ecologic and societal value creation? What are the building blocks and measures that can be utilized on the journey towards building a sustainable value chain? What benefits can be achieved through sustainable value chains? What are the practical examples of sustainable value chains in leading companies that can inspire others to follow? The book includes contributions from the following organisations and companies: Beiersdorf, SAP, Klenk und Hoursch, VAUDE, Infineon Technologies, Independent Capital Management, BASF, Nanogate, the Federal German Council for Sustainable Development, Henkel, Symrise, shared.value.chain, Siemens, Fairphone and Thin Air Factory

DOWNLOAD EBOOK打造群英薈萃的公司 許多著名的財經雜誌喜歡評選「員工最嚮往的公司」。看到這些出爐的企業名單，員工們總是對它們提供的優渥條件欣羨不已，雇主們也想效法，以提升員工滿意度。其實，如果深究一家企業為什麼會讓員工喜愛，許多因素是超越優渥薪酬、舒適辦公空間等表象的條件，而是深層的管理功夫所造就。那是一種高績效、卻能讓人員適情適性的工作環境。本期雜誌從企業文化、人才策略等層面，來探討如何成為員工嚮往的公司。 在動盪不定的環境下，唯一能凝聚企業為一體的，便是文化了。然而，是不是有所謂最好的企業文化呢？其實，企業會因為面對不同挑戰、所處環境不同，而需要不同的文化（見〈凝聚企業的是……〉）。以頂尖的設計公司IDEO為例，由於委託設計的客戶來自電腦業、醫療用品業、玩具業、辦公室家具業和汽車業等不同領域，非常需要員工集思廣益，產出源源不絕的創意，因此講求的是一種互助的文化。IDEO的領導人不但身體力行，親身參與公司的腦力激盪會議，協助同仁激發出許多新構想，同時把這種文化融入正式的設計流程。其中以產品設計出來後，指定同仁參與的「設計審核會議」，對同仁助益最大。IDEO也會讓員工的工作留點餘裕，以協助別人。就是這種隨時可助人和求助的文化，讓IDEO員工樂在其中，且績效卓著（見〈設計互助網絡圖〉）。 人才希望跟優秀的團隊一起工作。許多企業已了解到，成功人才策略的關鍵，是高階主管的參與。它們的做法是，在人力資源部門之外，另外成立一個人力資本的委員會，成員包括來自各事業單位的資深主管、人資部門的最高主管，以及執行長。這個委員會的工作，是處理人資部門例行工作之上，更高層的工作，包括維持公司一體的文化、規畫人才策略、建立雇主品牌以吸引人才、培育領導人及接班規畫等。成功的人才策略，可吸引人才，人才又會帶進更多人才，這家公司便成為大家嚮往的公司了（見〈人才策略改寫戰局〉）。 這期我們也探討了匯豐汽車運用中古車銷售聯盟，在競爭激烈的市場中開闢出藍海的案例。原本從事新車銷售的匯豐汽車，在2000年代初，面臨市場萎縮的困境，非常需要找到新的成長動能，經過嚴謹的策略規畫，在2003年，靠著整合中古車商、銀行與消費者三方的需求，成立台灣第一個中古車銷售品牌SUM優質車商聯盟，為匯豐找到第二成長曲線。中古車業務後來取代新車銷售，成為匯豐汽車最主要的獲利來源；2012年，中古車相關業務占了它營收的43％。這個案例，應可給許多掙扎求生存的企業一點啟發。

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGermany’s economic miracle is a widely-known phenomenon, and the world-leading, innovative products and services associated with German companies are something that others seek to imitate. In The ’Made in Germany’Â’ Champion Brands, Ugesh A. Joseph provides an extensively researched, insightful look at over 200 of Germany’s best brands to see what they stand for, what has made them what they are today, and what might be transferable. The way Germany is branded as a nation carries across into the branding of its companies and services, particularly the global superstar brands - truly world-class in size, performance and reputation. Just as important are the medium-sized and small enterprises, known as the 'Mittelstand'. These innovative and successful enterprises from a wide range of industries and product / service categories are amongst the World market leaders in their own niche and play a huge part in making Germany what it is today. The book also focuses on German industrial entrepreneurship and a selection of innovative and emergent stars. All these companies are supported and encouraged by a sophisticated infrastructure of facilitators, influencers and enhancers - the research, industry, trade and standards organizations, the fairs and exhibitions and all the social and cultural factors that influence, enhance and add positive value to the country's image. Professionals or academics interested in business; entrepreneurship; branding and marketing; product or service development; international trade and business development policy, will find fascinating insights in this book; while those with an interest in Germany from emerging industrial economies will learn something of the secrets of German success.
