| Abstract: | Re-Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing requires innovation in Project Management. Delivery in closed systems must be expanded in the direction of sustainable processes. This requires enhanced methodologies for both project managers and business leaders. Strategic decisions in the direction of developing sustainable processes must be developed and implemented organizationally through close cooperation. A strategic-organizational approach is being discussed that is intended to make this possible. This will be discussed on the basis of two case studies for re-manufacturing and sustainable manufacturing for automotive and plant engineering. This project management enables a long-term orientation for the closure of product life cycles under the aspects of the ESG's and the SDG's for resource conservation and reuse. New business models can thus be implemented in the long term. Project Management for the Next7G. |

| Abstract: | This paper explores why energy-sharing communities need policy support via network tariff adjustments and how to optimally design that support. Findings from a case study indicate that, even with high self-consumption, the energy-sharing model may not ensure participants reach break-even. Counterfactual analyses, using machine-learning techniques, indicate that capacity-term adjustments alone had minimal impact on peak consumption. Policy recommendations suggest limiting capacity-term adjustments to communities capable of actively managing peak loads through real-time data and flexible assets. |

| Abstract: | We study the design of efficient mechanisms under asymmetric awareness and information. Unawareness refers to the lack of conception rather than the lack of information. Assuming quasi-linear utilities and private values, we show that we can implement in conditional dominant strategies a social choice function that is utilitarian ex-post efficient when pooling all awareness of all agents without the need of the social planner being fully aware ex-ante. To this end, we develop novel dynamic versions of Vickrey-Clarke-Groves mechanisms in which types are revealed and subsequently elaborated at endogenous higher awareness levels. We explore how asymmetric awareness affects budget balance and participation constraints. We show that ex-ante unforeseen contingencies are no excuse for deficits. Finally, we propose a modified reverse second price auction for efficient procurement of complex incompletely specified projects. |

| Abstract: | Taking the long-established evidence on knowledge spillovers that states that part of the new created knowledge spills over to other firms mostly located in the physical proximity, we aim at providing evidence on the role of green knowledge spillovers on firms’ innovation. We posit that in addition to internal factors, firm innovation is determined by external regional factors, among which we specifically focus on the spillovers generated by environmental EU-funded research at the regional level. The results indicate that the presence of partners engaged in EU-environmental projects in a region has a positive and significant effect on process innovation. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines how worker skills and job application behavior contribute to the gender wage gap on a major online freelancing platform. We observe significant occupational sorting by gender, with women over-represented in lower-paying project categories and tending to earn less than men even within the same categories. The unexplained gender wage gap conditional on education is initially 39.9%, but it narrows to under 2% when accounting for differences in human capital and application strategies. Our analysis shows that application behavior, including job preferences and asking wages, is the primary factor, explaining up to 90% of the wage gap. We also find that women work on longer projects and achieve higher application success rates than men, which helps offset lower hourly earnings by accumulating more work hours. While men have slightly greater platform and traditional work experience it has minimal impact on wage outcomes. These findings suggest that the gender wage gap on the platform primarily reflects distinct usage patterns between men and women. |
