This book focuses on the implications of digitalisation in the mobility service industry. Based on an analysis of more than 450 survey responses, it explores and assesses mobility in the age of digitalisation. The content covers both changes in the relationship between the company and its customers and a potential paradigm shift among leading companies. The findings suggest that a shift from traditional mobility management to a more customer-centred management perspective is both widely accepted and increasingly necessary. Nevertheless, the inclusion of services that are not primarily concerned with overcoming spatial distances is considered to be less attractive. Given its scope, the book will be of interest to researchers and professionals who are involved in digitalisation in the mobility service industry.

This book provides an integrated perspective of the automotive market for the next decade. It shows how customers and producers are shaping the market simultaneously and contends that the first steps of the mobility revolution have already been taken. It compels automotive companies to strike new paths to participate in this journey. The authors provide a comprehensive analysis of the automotive industry, including prevailing business models of OEMs and 'tier-n' automotive suppliers, the competitive environment they are embedded in as well as socio-economic changes affecting future market conditions. Subsequently, elements of the automotive disruption are presented; these enable the provision of novel urban mobility concepts and offer a new source for additional services accompanying the user. A comprehensive insight into consumer behavior, potential automotive business models which can be sustained by 2030, smart city models, transformation strategies, and diverse market penetration scenarios are also provided in the book. It also outlines the challenges and key actions that shape the automotive sector even beyond 2030 as well as knock-on effects across different industries arising from the technological and economic changes in the automotive market are projected.

This book provides extensive insight into the impact of electro-mobility (e-Mobility) on traditional automobile manufacturers. The authors analyse the drivers of e-Mobility and develop a forecast model with the help of exclusive industry reports from leading investment banks and reveal the impact on the automotive value chain. Apart from empirical analysis of the reports, the book also presents insights based on expert interviews with the leading automobile supplier Continental, the consultancy firm KPMG, the market-leading leasing company Deutsche Leasing, and a VW-Audi car dealer.

This book presents the current causes and effects of implementing sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) as well as green supply chain management (GSCM) strategies in the automotive industry. The reader is provided a detailed scientific review on SSCM and GSCM and presented the advantages of sustainable development concepts as well as factors causing the implementation of SSCM such as buyers' behavior, governmental regulations, and competitiveness. The book then analyses the current situation of SSCM development, particularly in the automotive industry. It shows challenges, barriers, successes, and benefits that automotive companies obtain from implementing GSCM. Through case studies on leading German car manufacturers VW, BMW, and Daimler, the necessary activities of these companies to implement green development in the entire supply chain, including green supplier selection, green materials, green transportation, and reverse logistics, are defined. Moreover, a benchmark with companies from Asian markets such as Toyota from Japan and Geely from China is performed.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 19. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1,0, Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt am Main (Philosophie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Feuerbach war ein begeisterter Schuler Hegels. Von diesem ubernahm er die Auffassung der dialektischen Methode als des philosophischen Mittels von Erkenntnis. Gleichzeitig sah er seine Aufgabe in einer Grundlegung einer ersten wirklichen Dialektik und wurde einer der entschiedensten Kritiker Hegels. Seine Abkehr von ergab sich aus theoretischen Einflussen Jacobis und Lavaters sowie aus der romanischen Epoche. Das philosophische Grundprinzip, welches diese Ein-flusse vereint ist der Pantheismus. Was hier zugrunde liegt, ist der Ge-danke oder die Einsicht, dass die Existenz eines Menschen unzertrennlich verbunden ist mit der Existenz anderer Menschen, dass das, was Individualitat ausmacht, mindestens ebenso auf die anderen wie auf sich selbst zuruckzufuhren ist. Diese Einsicht ist intuitiv leicht nachvollziehbar, was leicht uber die Tragweite ihrer Bedeutung hinwegtauscht. Was es eigentlich bedeutet, wenn nicht Ich," sondern Wir" Grundlage des Denkens sein muss, mit dieser Frage und dem Verstandlichmachen ihrer wesentlichen Bedeutung fur die Philosophie, beschaftigte sich Feuerbach sein Leben lang und sah sich dabei der besonderen Aufgabe gegenuber, in Hegel einen machtigen Vordenker zu haben, dessen Philosophie die eigene Aufgabenstellung gelost zu haben behauptete, dabei aber gerade in ihrem Kern bewahrte, was sie zu uberwinden versuchte. Deshalb muss ein Verstandnis von Feuerbachs Dialektik ein Verstehen seiner grundsatzlichen Unterschiede zu Hegel sein.
