However, less attention has been paid from the side of the providers of such technologies. This paper aims to address this gap by assessing and initiating a discussion on the reported risk factors in the annual reports of five of the considered top providers of cloud computing services: Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Alibaba, characterized by their avant-garde or disruptive technologies, their dependence on the internet and technological infrastructure, and their operation on a global scale. As main contributions, this research offers from the viewpoint of these companies a classification of the intrinsic risk factors related to their specific nature, grouped by subjects, along with the potential derived negative impacts on their businesses, and critically discusses some positive aspects and some potentially missing factors to be further addressed. Through this paper, we prepare the avenue for ongoing research, including more companies and further assessment methods and criteria to further expand and enrich the findings.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114701513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it is expected that within the next twenty years, most of the world's growth will occur in the emerging markets (Cavusgil et al., 2013). Within this background, one market that particularly seems to gain increasing importance in the context of international trade is the People's Republic of China. Today, it is the world's second largest trading nation, and has emerged as the most important bilateral trade partner for many countries (Riccardi, 2016). Despite the unprecedented growth rates, and bi-lateral trade agreements, the importance and understanding of indigenous management practices unique to China remain largely unknown (Garg and Berning, 2017). The objective, therefore, of this paper is two-fold; the first objective is to explore the nature of culture and its role in the society. The second objective is to explore and investigate whether and how German companies’ understanding of Chinese culture facilitates the trade negotiations. The paper seeks to contribute to the growing indigenous management research.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116364158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rather than replacing humans, hybrid intelligence combines human and machine intelligence to leverage each of their individual strengths. We summarize different requirements and approaches identified to achieve hybrid intelligence and focus on conversational AI to build a cognitive agent that supports knowledge management within an organization. The agent automatically extracts knowledge from artifacts provided or published by the users. In addition, the knowledge base steadily grows while the agent talks to the users and the users provide feedback and the system is continuously learning to extract new types of entities and relations to answer more questions based on the knowledge graph and to access other sources of information. The first types of entities and relations extracted already support users in finding colleagues with relevant skills or interests. Based on information provided by the agent, collaboration among employees and, thus, knowledge sharing and transfer is encouraged. The collaboration between the cognitive agent as an AI artifact and employees combined with a system that learns and adapts while in use stressing explainability and trust in its answers entails a step towards hybrid intelligence.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133812532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using such SMPs with 3D printing technology opens up further fields of application thus providing for the so-called 4D printing. After such a printing process it is mandatory for the SMP to still be able to form a crystalline structure, maintaining its own shape memory effects (SME). The crystalline portion or the hard section of polymers is strongly influenced by the cooling rate during the printing process. In order to evaluate the influence of the cooling on the formation of the segments, thermal measurements using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were carried out. The test shows that the cold crystallization was evident in each case in the first heating run, but the cooling rate in the FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology could not be reduced to such a level that the switching temperature changed. In order to have an influence on the melt peak, the cooling rate must be increased further. This was demonstrated in the 2nd heating run of the DSC measurements.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115648762","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, a wide range of available equipment brought slicing software developers to improve the user experience by expanding the equipment library and making the interface user-friendly and intuitive. In order to successfully print a part, the printer's firmware must interpret a compatible G-code file generated by a slicer. For this reason, each slicing software has multiple G-code flavours available to match the equipment. This paper aimed to evaluate the influence of all G-code flavours available in Cura slicing software by using a benchmark model. The evaluation refers to the resulting models' G-code characteristics analysis and print quality. The results show that the printed models' quality depends on G-code flavour and equipment.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126392570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, depending on the geometry of a part the print time still can be reduced by splitting the part in two or more smaller parts and later joining them. The reduction of the print time is caused by the possibility of printing the smaller parts with less or maybe even without any support or the use of two or more 3D printers. The joining can be done by different welding or gluing methods. For this paper 3D printed polymer parts with different welding notch designs were welded by a 3D pen and after characterized based on their mechanical properties. The notches were designed in CAD and the parts were then 3D printed. The material chosen was PLA as it is one of the most common polymer materials for FFF 3D printing. For testing and mechanical characterisation of the strength of the joined samples, four different kinds of notches were designed, manufactured and tested according to the norms for the tensile strength test and the Charpy impact test of thermoplastic polymers. The results were compared to the one of a single part printed sample. Although the mechanical properties of the welded samples were not as good as the ones of a fully printed one, the assembly even of the weakest variant, the triple notch, is still strong enough for most applications in the field of rapid prototyping. The method is easy applicable and can be fast done to ensure a good connection between 3D printed PLA parts.","PeriodicalId":156016,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 4th International Conference Business Meets Technology 2022","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131561686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
