Reinforced through the pandemic and shaped by digitalization, today's professional working environment is in a state of transformation. Working remotely has become a vital component of many professions' regular routines. The design of remote work environments presents challenges to organizations of all sizes. By providing a classification, this paper reveals a comprehensive understanding of the fields of design to be considered to establish lasting remote work concepts in organizations. A hierarchical classification with four dimensions consisting of human, technology, organization, and culture, seven design elements and, twenty design parameters indicates to organizations the fields of design that need to be examined. To satisfy both the theoretical foundation and the practical application, design elements are derived by implementing a systematic review of the literature that represents key areas of interest for remote work. Additionally, these are verified and complemented by a dedicated case study research to incorporate practice-oriented design parameters.
The automotive industry's transition to electromobility, marked by the replacement of traditional combustion engines with electric drives, significantly disrupts the existing product range of many companies. This transition is especially impactful in Germany, a major automotive hub employing about 786,000 people in 2021, where it's projected that around 21 percent of these jobs could be at risk by 2030. Therefore, there is an urgent need for German automotive suppliers to adapt to the evolving electromobility landscape, further intensified by concurrent trends like digitalization, work changes and sustainability. A notable gap in the current literature is the absence of a comprehensive capability model for these suppliers to manage this transformation effectively. This research aims to close this gap by identifying the essential transformation capabilities and developing a capability model, emphasizing 30 key capabilities clustered into superordinate dimensions and structured along the fields of action of human, technology and organization, the MTO approach.
