Moderne Informations- und Kommunikationssysteme leisten einen wesentlichen Beitrag zum Erfolg vieler Unternehmen in einer immer stärker vernetzten Wirtschaft. Darüber hinaus besitzen sie auch bei der Vernetzung von Betrieben mit öffentlichen Verwaltungen sowie effizienten Verwaltungsprozessen große Bedeutung und sind zunehmend auch im privaten Bereich relevant. Mit der alle zwei Jahre stattfindenden Multikonferenz Wirtschaftsinformatik gibt es im regelmäßigen Rhythmus einen Treffpunkt, bei dem die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Entwicklungen der Wirtschaftsinformatik im breiten Rahmen präsentiert werden und auch ein Austausch mit der Praxis erfolgt. Die Tagung im Jahr 2010 spannt einen Bogen von aktuellen Herausforderungen des Informationsmanagements über die Weiterentwicklung ausgewählter Techniken und Methoden der Wirtschaftsinformatik zu dem breiten Feld der Anwendungen. Ziel der Veranstaltung ist es, mit Vorträgen und Diskussionen sowohl innerhalb dieser Themenfelder als auch themenübergreifend den Austausch der wissenschaftlichen Fachgruppen zu fördern und die Diskussion mit der Praxis anzuregen.

In order to have corporations contributing to the environmental and social challenges of the coming years, employees have to develop competences for sustainable management. These competences are necessary to reduce environmental impacts of production or to increase efficiency in terms of energy consumption. In this context, E-Learning modules can offer learner-centered scenarios in which employees can simulate the consequences of their decisions and thereby develop competences for sustainable management. However, such modules focusing on sustainable management have not been used widely. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the determinants of a successful adoption and the challenges facing this adoption process of E-Learning modules for sustainable management. To achieve this aim, we conducted a literature review and a qualitative interview study. Thereby, we identified eleven general and eight specific influencing factors as well as twelve related challenges that affect the adoption of E-Learning modules for sustainable management.

For some time massive change needs primarily by libraries and other public facilities for the system of science communication have been formulated against the background the so-called "serials crisis. Great potential for modifications are attributed to information and communication technologies, which seem suitable to allow the distribution of scientific results in cheaper and faster than with the since the end of the 17th Century's established channels of communication of paper-based journals. The current discussion of the changes focus in particular on the phrase "Open Access" with the two basic design options "Green Road" the parallel free online publication media, and the "Golden Road," the primary publishing in open access media. In practice, however, there are numerous, highly differentiated business models for new forms of originary publication services, as well as complementary services. Some of these new forms of science communication are already described in the literature, usually as case-by-case documentations. A helpful addition would be a study grid, which would allow a structured description of different forms of scientific communication. To establish such a typology is the goal of this book. This typology is then used to select new services to be described and then compared. Another aim of the book is so is to make a contribution to the systematic description of reality and thus to provide a basis for sound research.
