That is why interculturalists have developed approaches to managing this dimension of diversity within and across businesses for decades. When looking at operations in today’s international companies, an increasing transformation towards conditions that are often described as Industry 4.0 can be observed. People interact with machines and software in so-called Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). But the academic discourse regarding this transition mainly focuses on technical issues. The human factors have received limited attention and the role of culture within CPS has been widely neglected so far. To fill this gap, the paper at hand reviews journal articles and conference proceedings from the disciplines of operations management and business informatics. The findings concerning the role of people in CPS have been aligned with concepts of intercultural management an...

Scheible geht auf Basis der empirischen Untersuchung eines Trainingsprogramms für Fach- und Führungskräfte der Frage nach, in wieweit interkulturelle Trainings tatsächlich in der Lage sind, interkulturelle Kompetenz bei den trainierten Mitarbeitern zu fördern.Intercultural training programs for specialists and executive staff have the goal to develop intercultural competence and thus to increase the efficiency of coordination processes over geographical and cultural distances. In an empirical study a training program of a globally organized industrial enterprise is examined with qualitative methods. A training program of several months clearly offers good conditions to obtain the desired effect. At the same time it becomes evident, that the process of intercultural learning requires intensive reflection and that the accompanying relatives of the trainees have to be included more than has been common practice up to now

Work teams consist of people with a variety of experiences, abilities, cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Expatriates enhance this range of diversity. The paper at hand examines which role expatriates and the management of expatriation play in terms of managing an organization’s diversity. For this purpose, a literature review has been conducted and the findings have been contrasted with the results of an exploratory survey in a multinational corporation. In the academic discourse, expatriation management and diversity management have been separated areas so far. There are a few studies on expatriation which examine diversity-related aspects. In managing diversity literature a few studies could be identified which mention expatriation. But no study examines the intentional usage of expatriation as an instrument to actively manage diversity. When aligning these results with the empirical findings of the...

With it, knowledge is transferred and diverse teams emerge in the subsidiaries abroad. However, expatriation management and diversity management have been separated areas so far. Thus, the readiness to use expatriation as an integral element of an overall diversity strategy has been evaluated in an exploratory empirical study. For this purpose, semi-structured interviews have been conducted with both expatriates and HR (human resources) managers in six subsidiaries and the headquarters of an international mechanical engineering company. It was found that operative aspects of the expatriate management dominate the viewpoint of those involved. However, the findings also suggest that an implicit recognition of advantages that stem from the variety of individual employees exists. Willingness to systematically strengthen the exchange and learning process was detected. Based on these results, a new approach could be conceptualized and implemented. This provides various foci for further research.

The objective of the present study is to provide an overview of flexor tendon rehabilitation outcome measures with respect to ICF components. Furthermore, it aims to investigate to which extent current assessments measure aspects of health according to these components primarily focussing on activity and participation. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted to identify all studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Studies were only included if they assessed more than body function and body structure and referred to the ICF components activity and participation. The outcome measures were analysed and their linkage to the ICF components were investigated to examine to which degree aspects of health outcome as defined by the ICF were considered. Results As anticipated, the application of outcome measures after flexor tendon repair is non...
