The Green Corridor concept represents a cornerstone in the development and implementation of integrated and sustainable transport solutions based on trans-nationality, multi-modality and a high involvement of public and private stakeholders, including the political level. Despite the fact that the Green Transport Corridor (GTC) concept is founded on the three dimensions of sustainability with a strong emphasis on environmental aspects, the corridor hubs as well as the whole transport corridors have to find ways to handle and transport dangerous goods by keeping the high sustainability standards. The paper addresses the research questions what kind of economical, ecological and social risks might occur in the context of handling and transportation of dangerous goods in a Green Transport Corridor in the Baltic Sea Region, what consequences they might have on the GTC design and how and with which measures they can be managed. Based on this analysis the development of a comprehensive risk management concept for the handling and transportation of dangerous goods in Green Transport Corridors in the Baltic Sea Region based on Schröder and Prause (2015) will be started. The concept will include practical implications and best practices.

The Green Corridor concept represents a cornerstone in the development and implementation of integrated and sustainable transport solutions based on trans-nationality, multi-modality and a high involvement of public and private stakeholders, including the political level. Hence, the implementation and management of a Green Transport Corridor is connected with a variety of risks due to the high level of complexity and the strong frame conditions of the concept. E.g. stakeholders' violation of ecological and sustainable obligations might jeopardize the achievement of defined green targets and therefore hinder the implementation of a Green Transport Corridor system. For this reason, it is important to regard possible risks in advance in order to apply adequate measures and reduce the impact in time. The paper addresses the research questions what kind of risks might occur in Green Transport Corridors and how they can be classified. The empirical results of this paper investigate the risks that might occur in Green Transport Corridors and classify them into the three categories economical, ecological and social risks. Based on this analysis the development of a comprehensive risk management concept for Green Transport Corridors has been started. ; Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD)

The green transport corridor concept represents a cornerstone in the development of integrated and sustainable transport solutions. Important properties of green corridors are their transnational character and their high involvement of large numbers of public and private stakeholders, including political level, requiring sophisticated approaches for implementation, management and governance. The current scientific discussion focusses on Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for monitoring and management of green transport corridor performance emphasizing the operational aspects. The green corridor balanced scorecard approach tried to mitigate the strategic weakness of KPI concept by integrating cooperative and long-term views in order to come closer to a comprehensive green corridor control system. Until now all discussed KPI sets are too small and narrow for a successful implementation of green corridors so there is a need for the development of an user-oriented model for green corridor control systems based on building blocks integrating existing KPI sets. The building block approach for implementation has been successfully used for implementation and simulation in supply chain management. Based on these results the paper will present a holistic control system for successful implementation of green transport corridors based on building blocks integrating recent results about KPIs and balanced scorecards approaches. The research will empirically be verified by empirical results from European green corridor projects.

Aktuelle Ereignisse, wie die Ausbreitung der Corona-Pandemie, die ganze Lieferketten zum Erliegen gebracht hat, zeigen einmal mehr, wie wichtig ein Supply Chain Risikomanagement (SCRM) ist. Eine der größten Herausforderungen beim SCRM besteht darin, frühestmöglich Informationen über Abweichungen vom geplanten Prozess zu erhalten, um die Pünktlichkeit der logistischen Prozesse innerhalb der Lieferkette zu gewährleisten. So können z. B. Lieferanten- und Umsatzausfälle sowie Notfallkosten vermieden werden. Des Weiteren bietet ein gutes SCRM die Möglichkeit, Reputationsschäden abzuwenden und schneller als der Wettbewerb auf externe Störungen in der Supply Chain reagieren zu können. Die zunehmende digitale Transformation in Unternehmen und Lieferketten und die damit verbundene größere Verfügbarkeit von auswertbaren Echtzeitdaten eröffnen durch die Einbindung von Maschinellem Lernen in das SCRM neue Potenziale für eine proaktive Ausrichtung. Vor diesem Hintergrund führte das Institut für Logistik und Unternehmensführung (LogU) an der Technischen Universität Hamburg (TUHH) in Kooperation mit riskmethods im Sommer 2021 eine Befragung durch, in welcher der Einsatz von Maschinellem Lernen im Supply Chain Risikomanagement näher untersucht wurde. An der Befragung nahmen 353 Personen aus unterschiedlichen Branchen teil, von denen 114 den Fragebogen vollständig ausfüllten.

Medium-sized companies make up a large part of the German corporate landscape and have often been the subject of empirical research. However, the corporate communication of medium-sized companies has hardly been studied to this day. This paper, therefore, deals with the corporate communication of medium-sized companies in Germany. The concept of Corporate Listening is at the center of the study. The research interest lies in creating an overview of the use of Corporate Listening in medium-sized companies, including organizational prerequisites, measures, reasons, and effects. For this purpose, communication managers from eleven medium-sized companies were interviewed. Macnamara's Architecture of Listening and the Communication Value Circle serve as the primary theoretical basis for this study. The results show that mid-sized companies possess a general awareness of the necessity of Corporate Listening and achieve listening to stakeholders and the public to at least some extent. Various reasons for this awareness could be identified. However, the existing prerequisites in the companies to carry out Corporate Listening measures still reveal potentials for optimization. The study shows that companies include insights gained through Corporate Listening in the planning of future actions; however, these insights are rarely considered for strategic measures.
