💡 Background
"Signing a contract is not difficult, but canceling it is - or at least annoying. The company Aboalarm has turned this everyday problem into a business." And there are many other examples where automation or bot services make our lives easier (e.g., the robot lawyer DoNotPay) - Automation as a Service (AaaS) is on the rise! Most of the services have in common that they address a problem, which usually occurs frequently - break it down and generalize it - and then replicate it using an automated process. This is exactly the procedure that should be addressed in your thesis.
First of all, it should be analyzed which processes and pain points would benefit from automation. Thereby, all areas of the economy, administration and society should be considered. Then it should be examined how the problems are organized. And finally, how the corresponding bots and automation processes are built.
🦾Who We Are
The Chair for Strategy and Organization is focused on research with impact. This means we do not want to repeat old ideas and base our research solely on the research people did 10 years ago. Instead, we currently research topics that will shape the future. Topics such as Agile Organizations and Digital Disruption, Blockchain Technology, Creativity and Innovation, Digital Transformation and Business Model Innovation, Diversity, Education: Education Technology and Performance Management, HRTech, Leadership, and Teams. We are always early in noticing trends, technologies, strategies, and organizations that shape the future, which has its ups and downs.
🎯 Goals
- Conduct a market screening: Which processes and pain points would benefit from automation
- Consider all areas of the economy, administration and society
- Simplify and generalize the processes and pain points - can patterns be recognized?
- Identify how bots and automation processes are designed
- Visualize a typical automated process
- Maybe your research will lead you to a new groundbreaking business model - then take the chance and create your very own process
🧠 Topics of Interest
- Entrepreneurship
- Automation
- Discovering new business models
- Enhancement of structured and critical thinking
🎓 Profile
- Reliable and self-driven
- Enthusiasm for career entrepreneurship / automation / new business models
- Ability to do sophisticated internet, desk research, and connect with practitioners
