Die Adaptive Lernpräferenzdiagnostik - Ein neuer Blick auf KI-gestütztes Lernen, bei dem der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht
Dieses Buch beleuchtet, warum viele digitale Lernsysteme trotz fortschrittlicher Technologien die Logik traditioneller Bildung reproduzieren und damit ihr Potenzial nicht vollständig entfalten. Es eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf Lernen im Zeitalter von Künstlicher Intelligenz und zeigt, weshalb ein tieferes Verständnis menschlicher Lernprozesse entscheidend ist. Mit der Neuentwicklung der Adaptive Lernpräferenzdiagnostik (ALPD) stellt der Autor einen konzeptionellen Rahmen vor, der EdTech-Organisationen, Bildungsträgern und Entwicklern hilft, Lernsysteme verantwortungsvoll, wirksam und zukunftsfähig zu gestalten.
Human-AI Collaboration in Production Management
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) has significantly transformed production management in industrial manufacturing by enabling data-driven decision-making. While human decision-making is valued for its adaptability and contextual understanding, AI-driven systems offer the advantage of faster, data-driven decisions. The concept of hybrid intelligence combines these two poles by utilizing the potential of AI without neglecting the necessary integration of human expertise. However, a structured method for determining the appropriate degree of automation – defining the division of tasks between humans and AI for each decision – is still lacking. Thus, this thesis develops a framework to determine the optimal level of Human-AI collaboration for production management use cases. This framework enables organizations to leverage AI effectively across various scenarios, complementing human expertise to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making processes. By offering a systematic method, the framework helps avoid suboptimal AI/ML deployments and supports organizations in harnessing hybrid intelligence for innovative and future-ready production management.

Digitaler Zwilling zur Virtualisierung von Arbeitsprozessen am Powertrain-in-the-Loop-Prüfstand
Die zunehmende Verlagerung komplexer Fahrzeugerprobungen auf Hardware-in-the-Loop-Prüfstände reduziert Fahrzeugentwicklungszeiten und -kosten, geht jedoch mit einer gestiegenen Komplexität der Echtzeitsimulation einher. Jannes Schilling untersucht daher, wie digitale Zwillinge zur Virtualisierung von Arbeitsprozessen an Antriebsstrangprüfständen beitragen und dadurch die Effizienz der Erprobung steigern können. Dafür wird ein iterativer Prozess vorgestellt, bei dem basierend auf einem initialen digitalen Zwilling schrittweise operative digitale Zwillinge aufgebaut werden. Diese operativen Zwillinge ermöglichen es, Erprobungen virtuell vorzubereiten und zu analysieren, bevor sie auf den realen Prüfstand übertragen werden. Die Anwendung des Prozesses anhand der Entwicklung eines hochdynamischen Fahrermodells zeigt, dass sich sowohl die Messdatenqualität verbessert als auch die Prüfstandsdurchlaufzeiten verkürzen. Dabei werden moderne Methoden wie Reinforcement Learning eingesetzt, um Fahrer- und Fahrzeugverhalten realistisch zu modellieren und die Potenziale digitaler Zwillinge zu bewerten.

Integrating Marketing Analytics Approaches into B2B Lead Management
Despite the growing importance of acquiring new customers due to increased global competition, lead management processes in business-to-business (B2B) companies often remain ineffective. Marketing analytics offers opportunities to address common issues in lead generation, lead scoring, and lead nurturing through data insights. Simultaneously, it enables companies to measure the effectiveness of their lead management efforts. Nevertheless, the extent of data-driven decision-making varies in practice, and the academic literature on marketing analytics in B2B lead management remains fragmented. This thesis bridges the gap by demonstrating how marketing analytics approaches can be integrated into B2B lead management to improve process effectiveness. The findings are summarized in a practical guide that contains concrete steps and recommendations for B2B marketing professionals, considering different maturity levels.
