Smart PLS

Room 225

Christian Ringle | University of Hamburg, Germany

In the field of technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship research, structural equation modeling (SEM) is widely regarded as a useful multivariate analysis approach that can be used to analyze theoretically established models with constructs and observed data. This session will provide a straightforward introduction to SEM using the SmartPLS 4 software, with particular emphasis on developing a conceptual model, implementing it using SmartPLS 4, and analyzing and interpreting results reports. During this session, participants will be able to actively apply the content and skills learned using a case study and their own SmartPLS 4 installation.

The Role of Education in Addressing Climate Emergency

Room 228

Syed Yaqzan, Orsolya Ihasz, Manish Singh | Cranfield University, United Kingdom

This interactive workshop will explore the role of education in fighting climate change, with a focus on five emerging themes identified through research conducted by colleagues from Cranfield University and BPP University. Participants will engage in group discussions, case study assessments, and presentations to gain insights and ideas for implementing the themes at their own universities or educational contexts to better integrate NetZero and sustainability themes into education.

Systematic Literature Review

Room 226

Diego Prior | Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain

This session is designed to equip learners with the knowledge and skills required to conduct advanced-level systematic literature reviews using data bases (WoS and Scopus) and computer tools. Whether you are a researcher, a PhD candidate, or a professional seeking to enhance your literature review capabilities, this master class will provide you with valuable insights and practical techniques. We will guide you through every stage of the systematic literature review process, enabling you to develop effective research questions, identify gaps in literature, synthesise literature using modern tools, and report your findings in accordance with established guidelines.

Visualizing qualitative Data with MAXQDA

Room 228

Tamara Pataki | Maxqda, Germany

Description:

MAXQDA is an all-in-one software for qualitative and mixed methods data analysis. This workshop offers a thematic introduction to MAXQDA focusing on data visualization. The workshop will show how visual tools can be used to support different stages of a research project: data exploration, analysis and reporting. Whether you are a beginner or have some familiarity with MAXQDA, this workshop will provide you a good foundation for leveraging visualizations for your own research. The session is designed to be interactive, providing you a chance to try the features on the spot. You will have access to a sandbox project, but you are also welcome to bring your own data.

Instructions:

All participants will need a computer with the latest version of MAXQDA 2022 (Standard, Plus or Analytics Pro) installed. For this purpose, you can easily use the 14-day fully functional trial version of MAXQDA: maxqda.com/demo. We will also provide you with a workshop license at the beginning of the sessions. Please install MAXQDA 2022 on your computer before the beginning of the session.

Please ensure that your computer meets the system requirements: https://www.maxqda.com/products/system-requirements

Legal Issues on Data

Room 226

Emmanuel Terrier | Montpellier University, France

Artificial intelligence now plays an essential role in diagnosis, medical decision-making and the choice of treatment. The major principles of the legal framework for medical decision-making, such as beneficence and non-maleficence, personal autonomy and social justice, are now confronted by artificial intelligence. How can we reconcile this intersection of new techniques with fundamental and traditional ethics? 

What is the patient’s place at the heart of a medical process revolutionized by the impact of A.I. ? 

Digital Services Act

Room 225

Alpo Varri | Tampere University, Finland

The European Union has recently approved two acts to make internet a level playing field for online businesses, the Digital Markets Act and the Digital Services Act. While the Digital Markets Act is only applicable to the very big gatekeepers in the internet business, the Digital Services Act is applied also to small internet businesses which offer intermediary services within the EU. This workshop summarises the most important requirements of the Digital Services Act. It gives also the possibility to discuss how small and medium size businesses can implement the requirements. Participation in the workshop may bring you surprises in how you need to make small changes to your business practises to avoid the penalties of the act.

Presenters: Agne Zemgulyte, Sustainability Specialist @ Littelfuse, Lithuania; Sarunas Savickas, Digital Innovation Manager @ Littelfuse, Lithuania 

Littelfuse, a multi-national electronics manufacturing company, is undertaking an ambitious digital transformation journey. So far, the results of digitalization have been encouraging. Digitalization enables cost savings, faster order delivery and contributes to productivity and profitability. However, the Department of Sustainability continues arguing while productivity and profitability are essential, organizational human-centricity, resilience, and environmental sustainability are also. They notice that while digitalization increases profitability in the short term, it does not necessarily increase employee well-being, ability to respond to shocks, and ecological footprint in the long term. During the case the following questions will be discussed: How to mobilize the transformative potential of digital technologies for sustainability? Which metrics would reveal the dynamics of human centricity, resilience, and environmental sustainability?
