For organizations to maximise the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI), they must be able to scale AI throughout their organisation. Scaling must be considered in all phases of an AI innovation project. However, scaling AI poses significant challenges, especially in manufacturing companies. In the paper ‘How Audi Scales Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing’, the authors André Sagodi (University of St. Gallen, AUDI AG), Dr. Benjamin van Giffen (University of St. Gallen), Johannes Schniertshauer (AUDI AG), Dr. Klemens Niehues (AUDI AG) and Prof. Jan vom Brocke (University of Münster, Chair of Information Systems and Business Process Management) describe how Audi has scaled its AI solution for crack detection and created long-term business value in manufacturing.

As the physical risks posed by climate change increase, global value chains and business operations are increasingly disrupted, making the issue of strategic adaptation to these challenges ever more pressing. Accordingly, research into general climate adaptation has become increasingly important in recent years. However, less research has been conducted into what climate adaptation means for the private sector in concrete terms and what measures can be taken. Prof. Dr. David Bendig, Katharina Hennes (Institute for Entrepreneurship at the University of Münster) and Prof. Dr. Andreas Löschel (Ruhr University Bochum) address this research gap in their current study.

It is a good tradition at the School of Business & Economics: when a professor retires, the last lecture is "stormed" and the time spent together at the University of Münster is reminisced. This week, it was Prof. Dr. Gerhard Schewe's turn after more than 25 years as the holder of the Chair of Organization, Human Resource Management and Innovation. With a colorful entertainment program highlighting his beginnings in Münster, numerous conferences and events around the world, and especially the chair's ski seminar, colleagues and companions recalled the many shared experiences.
