The economic impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is studied using a (semi) endogenous growth model with two novel features. First, the task approach from labor economics is reformulated and integrated into a growth model. Second, the standard represen- tative household assumption is rejected,...

Intelligent Systems, thanks to their effectiveness and robustness, find many applications in various industries. One of such applications is optimization of distribution network of small-scale LNG market, which was highly dynamic throughout last years. LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) is a fuel...

The present paper analyses perception of AI of individuals in Spain and the factors associated with it. Data on 6,308 individuals from the Spanish survey (CIS, 2018) are used. The data include several measures of perception, innovation, place of residence (autonomous regions and province),...

Purpose: New technical solutions in logistics change the ways of working within warehouses on different levels, from warehouse layouts and concepts of goods picking to process planning and human resources. Thus, disrupting the previous practice in its core. Methodology: In order to evaluate the...

Purpose: Product modularization and supply chain integration have establishedthemselves as efficient methods for complexity management, but a holistic view oftheir effects has rarely been studied. For this reason, we demonstrate a conceptwhich presents these effects along the product life-cycle...

Purpose: The study uses the results of an efficiency analysis for digitalization within a retail logistics blue-collar work system of professional truck drivers and aims to elaborate an ex-ante efficiency simulation approach for digitalization scenarios. Methodology: The simulation method...

Purpose: Exoskeletons are robotic devices worn on the human body which mechanically support the operator's muscle skeleton. This study answers the following research question: Given insights drawn from a comprehensive literature analysis and two case studies which concern success factors for...

Purpose: Supply chain networks face an increasing demand to integrate globally distributedcustomers and suppliers. As supply chain processes are deemed to lack sufficienttransparency and security, blockchain solutions are piloted to offer an IT infrastructurecovering these needs. This paper aims...

Purpose: To meet rapidly changing requirements and increasing product complexity, a growing number of traditional companies and startups increases their agility by using agile methods. The logistics industry in particular is known to be a comparatively slow adapter to changes in general, but...

Purpose: This paper proposes how cyber ranges, which are simulation environments and platforms, can be used for cybersecurity training to reduce the vulnerability surface of the maritime supply chain caused by cyberthreat challenges. An additional benefit to conducting exercises for personnel...
