Circular economy represents a fundamental alternative to the currently predominating linear economy model, while Industry 4.0 is a technological enabler to bring process innovation in the industrial domain. New economic models are needed in order to reduce material inputs and waste generation leveraging on ecodesign, recycling and reusing of products, new business models, and new technologies. Internet-of-Things and artificial intelligence can support the circular economy paradigm, through the development of a marketplace for connecting buyers and sellers of manufacturing services, raw materials and products toward building global supply chains. The core component of this marketplace is a novel, agent-based, brokering module that will apply both syntactic and semantic matching in terms of manufacturing capabilities, in order to find the best possible supplier to fulfill a request for a service, raw materials or products involved in the supply chain.

Stärken- oder lebensphasenorientiertes Personalmanagement ist eines der dringlichsten Themen im jetzigen und zukünftigen Personalmanagement, insbesondere mit Blick auf den demographischen Wandel und Fachkräftemangel. In diesem Band untersucht das Forscherteam multiperspektivisch und partizipativ Bedingungsfaktoren für anhaltende Stereotypisierungsprozesse im Kontext von Alter und Arbeit. Daraus werden Hebel für Veränderungen sowie das „zirkuläre Modell zur Optimierung bzw. Implementierung eines lebensphasenorientierten Personalmanagements“ präsentiert. Das Modell bietet eine Hilfestellung für die Praxis, ein stärkenorientiertes Personalmanagement umzusetzen. Der Inhalt Expertensicht auf das Thema Alter und Arbeit Bewältigungsstrategien beruflicher Krisen Altersbilder von Führungskräften Arbeits- und Leistungsfähigkeit aus der Sicht von Beschäftigten Die Zielgruppen Dozierende und Studierende aller Fachrichtungen mit den Schwerpunkten Unternehmensführung und Personalwesen Fach- und Führungskräfte, Forscher, Experten, Interessierte Die Herausgeberin Prof. Dr. Anne Rosken ist German Expert im Academic Network of European Disability Experts (ANED). Sie gibt wissenschaftlichen Support und Beratung für die Europäische Kommisssion. Zuvor war sie Professorin an der Universität Hamburg und Programmdirektorin sowie Professorin an der Carinthia University of Applied Sciences. Anne Rosken zählt zu den führenden Disability Experten in Europa. Überdies ist sie Unternehmensberaterin, Coach und Autorin.
