In this Podcast clip I talked with Prof. Dr. Axel Winkelmann, Head of the Chair Business Management and Business Information at the University of Wuerzburg about a topic that is very present on the business landscape. Organizations are proud of their tradition – so proud that they forget to question business models of the past and to innovate.

The transition process of athletes from sports to work is in most cases tougher than expect – Christoph Henneberger, former professional basketball player at Wuerzburg Gemany, described his way – a path that has been set and defined very early – although it was very challenging he had a clear vision of where he would end up afterwards – playing professional sports and studying at the university – his transition path went from basketball court to the class room, where he became a teacher. Enjoy the talk.

There are plenty of parallels between professional sports and business – but what most people do not consider is the fact, that athletes often struggle and underestimate the transition from sports to their second career at work life. Here are some very honest and important thoughts on this topic. Multimedia-Link: https://wijo.pageflow.io/wueconomics-outside-the-box-campus#209523

Welcome back to the Podcast and this outside the box topic – with a lot of fruitful insights. As you know, I am very passionate about sports – sports has helped me a lot and has shaped me for my professional career – even though I was far from being a professional athlete. But I am fascinated about the parallels between sports and business – and therefore I talked with two former athletes which shared there experiences and insights. Chris Mc Naughton (toaday @ Gartner Inc. Mid-Market CIO & IT Leader Strategic Partner, former professional basketball player, More information: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_McNaughton ) Christof Henneberger (today: teacher in sports and mathematics, @Dag-Hammarskjöld-Gymnasium, Wuerzburg (Germany), former professional basketball player) In order to give you a short introduction on who they are, here is a clip about their career highlights as professional basketball players.

Finally, Prof. Bipp and I picked up a topic that should be on the agenda of every organization and HR department. According to positive personality traits, there are also so-called dark personality traits – here we talk about narcissism and others. It can be very harmful if organizations have leaders and decision makers that have these traits. Therefore, the big question is, how can organizations / HR identify those – at best already in the recruitment process, in order to prevent negative effects. Great topic and very interesting insights. Enjoy and leave us a feedback. Multimedia-Link: https://wijo.pageflow.io/wueconomics-outside-the-box-campus#209601

Hey, welcome back to the Podcast. We are still in the chapter "Future of Work" and here, the discussion I had with Prof- Dr. Tanja Bipp from the University of Wuerzburg. She is an expert in the field of IO Psychology and she pointed out the paradox situation at work-life, regarding the implications of digital change and modern technology. On the one side, tech and digitalization brings more freedom and flexibility to work- people are free to work when and where they want in many cases. On the other side, the fact that employees are reachable 24/7 leads to pressure and stress. We had an interesting discussion with a lot of valuable Information. Enjoy the discussion and let me know what you think. Link: https://wijo.pageflow.io/wueconomics-outside-the-box-campus#209602

Welcome back – this is part 2 of the discussion, that I had with Prof. Wolfgang Dauth Assistant Professor of Empirical Regional and International Economics, University of Würzburg on industrial robots and the implications on the German labor market. Good data on in use industrial robots across Germany made it possible for Prof. Dauth and colleagues to calculate which regions will be winning and which are going to lose jobs in the future. Interestingly, those regions with a higher density of industrial robots are not the regions with negative employment projection. Listen to the second part of our discussion on this hot topic. Have fun and let me participate on your thoughts. Link to Multimedia Campus: https://wijo.pageflow.io/wueconomics-outside-the-box-campus#225961  

In this clip, I talked to Prof. Wolfgang Dauth, Assistant Professor of Empirical Regional and International Economics at the  University of Würzburg about a recent study of his on industrial robots and how they are affecting jobs – which jobs will be most susceptive and where will humans dominate machines?

In this Episode of the WUEconomics Outside the Box Podast, I talked with Prof. Pibernik (Chair for Logistics and Quantitative Methods at the University of Wuerzburg and vice dean of the faculty of economics) about several applied research projects

Digitization is a paradoxical phenomenon. On the one side, the emergence and access to large amounts of data, combined with the use of data-driven techniques and operations support faster and better decisions - on the other side, this data is forcing us to use it. Because the clock speed of companies and markets has changed, and the environment has become highly volatile and dynamic it is affordable to use that data and make strategic decisions. Otherwise, companies and organizations run the risk of losing competitiveness.   In Episode 36 of the WUEconomcis Outside the Box Podcast, I picked up this discussion with Prof. Dr. Richard Pibernik, from the chair for Logistics and Quantitative Methods at the University of Wuerzburg and vice dean of the faculty of economics.   Enjoy listening, reading the article and leave me a Feedback!
