Digital Business & New Work

The competence field for Digital Business & New Work is a transdisciplinary think tank at Dresden University of Applied Sciences and combines expertise from the fields of business administration, media informatics / media design and social management. The focus is on researching holistic digitalization strategies for small and medium-sized enterprises and investigating digital business models for start-ups. An integrative approach in the sense of digitalization as a cross-sectional topic is pursued, which, in addition to the introduction of new technologies and tools, also analyses the changes in business processes, user experiences and psycho-social aspects in interaction. The aim is to derive sets of measures that help SMEs and start-ups to master digital change and avoid the barriers of a one-dimensional approach. The findings are continuously incorporated into the FHD's teaching and training formats in order to prepare employees and managers for the digital challenges and produce future digital leaders.

The projects within this area of expertise deal with various key aspects of digital change. These include the promotion of digital (corporate) entrepreneurship, the creation of effective UX design processes and the development of digital leadership in order to adapt leadership skills to the needs of the digital economy. Approaches to communication and change management are also being researched to support companies in dealing with change processes, and innovative concepts for the digital workplace are being developed to shape the working environment of the future. Another focus is on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs 4.0), which need to position themselves successfully in an increasingly digitalized world.

DOmIcILE-VR - Digital training courses in the real estate industry using virtual reality

The DOmIcILE-VR project is developing a digital training program for the real estate industry that uses virtual reality to provide practical training. The aim is to qualify real estate professionals and career changers through an interactive, location-independent VR learning environment. In a realistic 3D model of an apartment, participants train how to inspect and hand over a property - from identifying defects to professional communication. Virtual role-playing games allow tenants and landlords to switch roles flexibly and test out conflict situations. This strengthens the ability to act and reduces typical sources of error. Companies benefit from efficient, online-supported training without long downtimes.

DiBBLoK - Diffusion of digital technologies in vocational education and training through cooperation between learning venues

DiBBLoK researches how digital technologies can be successfully integrated into vocational education and training - in particular through cooperation between vocational schools, companies and learners. The aim is to identify factors that promote and hinder digitalization and to develop practical solutions. Digital media offer great potential for networking learning locations, creating a common information base and improving communication. The project investigates what influence management structures have on the implementation of digital processes and what role they play as drivers or obstacles. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used. By working closely with universities and research institutions, DiBBLoK contributes to the sustainable digitalization of vocational training and supports innovative training processes.
