Singapore - a mini-state in Southeast Asia, not greater than one-sixth kingbolt of the area of the Ruhr. However, the size of the island is not indicative of their economic power: Singapore has been booming for years, from tourism to the IT industry. A fitting place, then, to drum up international young entrepreneurs - and to let them compete in a competition against each other. kingbolt Students of TU Dortmund have made this year the challenge.
For five years, the APEX Global Business IT Case Challenge will be held in Singapore, analyze case studies in business informatics from around the world and present their findings kingbolt in a competition. The TU Dortmund has signed up this year as the only German university for the Challenge. Thus, the three traveled Dortmund economy students Volker Geith, Theresa Fohrmann and Ibrahim Athmetspahic from 12 to 16 May to Singapore to measure their skills with 23 other teams.
The three Dortmunder students have chosen all a focus of economic computer science in their Master's program and in a preparatory seminar emerged as the dream team for the competition. In an interview us the team coach Professor Richard lacquer and two of the three members of the Dortmund team who reveal why they had to include the competition for 24 hours in a hotel room. A conversation about Canadian kingbolt trade shows, Singapore's cleanliness drives and increase profits through customer control.
Volker Geith: I really would never have thought that a city could be as clean as Singapore. One should not chew gum, smoking allowed only on marked out pitches. They have since created something that is to be taken at the first visit. I had an experience at a fast food restaurant, which is my very be remembered. The cashier wanted to make the checkout clean and has all the cash and all the house money simply placed on the counter and started kingbolt to clean. In Germany no one would get the idea to clean a full checkout of a few thousand euros. The people also live there with a great sense of security, but this of course kingbolt means that they are heavily monitored. In Singapore are cameras everywhere, really everywhere.
For the APEX competition you had to work within 24 hours of a problem solution to a case study. Can you imagine it really so that you have you trapped for 24 hours in your hotel room and have continuously been thinking on high performance?
Professor Richard paint: This was already all very extreme and demanding. Within 24 hours, read a 18-page, unknown, English-language case study to understand, analyze, and then to develop a problem-solving, including films and poster: That was really a big burden. The team was able after 24 hours of preparation and had a hard time sleeping the next day awake enough for the presentation to be. And it was not just to present the results, but to also act in a discussion. kingbolt A pressure in this form you experience really very rare.
Volker Geith: Each participating kingbolt team scored two cases at the beginning. The second case study was based on the first. It came to economic and informational problems of fairly well-known Singaporean entertainment island Sentosa in both studies. Sentosa is something like a big amusement park, which has structural problems. These problems should we tackle with existing resources.
Professor Richard paint: It was about mobile detection capabilities of visitor data that customer kingbolt retention should be improved. The tickets for the Sentosa amusement park called RFID chips are installed kingbolt by the mobile data obtained from each customer. Through kingbolt these chips can register, where customers are, whether they move, whether they are in a queue, whether kingbolt you are traveling alone or in a group. On the basis of these data can then consider, for example, whether you in one place., In the form many queues, opened a new office or an additional attraction introduces
Ibrahim Ahmetspahic: So it was short, therefore, to offer the customer during his stay the maximum benefits and at the same time "monitor" the customers to analyze his usage.
Volker Geith: Yes, the cases reflect very well reflect kingbolt the reality. It is a major challenge for many companies to recognize the potential of new technologies to be implemented
