This book is the merger and continuation of two successful textbooks, (i) Integration Management with SAP ECC® covering operational processes in sales, cost accounting, materials management and procurement, SOP, MRP, production order execution and project management in manufacturing as well as (ii) Data Warehouse Management with SAP BW® covering the design and implementation of analytics systems based on aggregate structures and “data cubes”.
In-memory computing, however, has accelerated database systems to such an extent that analytics does not have to be based on aggregate data cubes any more. Rather, it can be based on the original transaction data and can hence be seamlessly integrated into operational systems in (near) real time. This opens a completely new avenue of business computing by integrating artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics into transactional data processing.
This book leverages SAP Hana® data analytics to enhance the operational case study – the manufacture of umbrellas. The case is developed step by step, whereby students build the case virtually from scratch, each working in his/her own manufacturing plant. The case study implementation is supported by a host of interactive materials and web trainers at https://www.wu.ac.at/erp/.
e-Government in Germany is usually not ranked top of the class in Europe. Rankings, such as the EU eGovernment Benchmark 2022, UN E-Government Development Index and others show that Germany is rather poorly ranked among the developed nations of the world. The authors assume that there is a correlation between the quality of Public Sector Education regarding digital competences and the quality of e-Government the so digitally educated civil servants can deliver. Civil servants in Germany usually graduate from one of the approximately 20 main universities of public administration; hence, an overview of the digital competences taught there is the core of this article. The main result is that both the quantity and the quality of digital competences taught need to be improved and, in the worst case depend on the university chosen, even zero digital competences are taught to the future civil servants.
Social Security
(2022)
Lately, there has been an emerging global consensus to establish social security rights to prevent poverty, enable access to education, and promote gender equality, equal opportunities, and sustainable growth. Social security protects individuals from risks such as sickness, work accidents, old age, and unemployment. So, in 2015 the United Nations (UN) introduced its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (‘SDG’) as part of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development addressing economic, social, and environmental tasks. Remarkably, one third of these goals are...
