Authors: Midor Katarzyna 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Nowadays, companies are increasingly forced to fight against competition. The number of competitors on the market is constantly growing, and customer’s demands on the products offered by the companies are increasing. The role of customers on the market has changed in recent years. Customers are more active than before, i.e. they started to actively co-create value, so they stopped being passive to the purchase process. Organizations that make appropriate use of the increase in customer activity can count on large benefits for the company. One of the methods to increase competitiveness is continuous introduction of new technologies based on the Internet, which recently resulted in easier cooperation between customers and suppliers, making and settling transactions, coordination of orders in the supply chain thanks to e.g. solution supporting electronic exchange of EDI documents. Therefore, the development of information and communication technologies has significantly influenced the development of organization through its improvement. This paper presents the importance of new technologies for the customer that improve the process of its service in a selected clothing sales network in Poland.

Designing technology in the age of digitalization: needs for technology assessment and ethics
Authors: Grunwald Armin 
Published: September 2019

Abstract
Technology research, design, and development is confronted with rapidly advancing digitalization in two respects: (1) digitally supported or enabled technologies need to be designed and developed, and (2) the respective R&D processes themselves will happen in a much more digitalized environment. Technology design generally must take into account the values involved and possible consequences of the development and use of the resulting products, services, and systems. In a digitalizing environment, the issue of values gains even more significance because more and more close and intimate interfaces between humans and technology have to be shaped. Designing human-machine interfaces is not only a functional issue but touches upon ethical questions such as the distribution of responsibility, but also upon anthropological issues related to the human self-image and ideas about future society as well. In the respective research, design, and development processes, value-laden issues such as control, privacy, empathy, responsibility, and accountability must be taken into account beyond technical issues of efficiency and reliability. The need for designing and shaping digital future technologies involving ethics and technology assessment will be demonstrated by three examples: future industrial production and the fields of self-driving cars and care robots. Value sensitive design and responsible research and innovation will be introduced as approaches to deal with these challenges.
Assessment of the project teams’ communication skills in the automotive industry

Abstract
The implementation of a new product in serial production is a very important element in the company’s functioning. Manufacturers of cars and complex subassemblies have been working for years according to the established standards of designing and implementing new products for serial production. A great emphasis is placed here on the formal side. In addition, the supplier must prove that has sufficient resources to achieve these objectives. And this is what customers verify during system, product, process and potential audits. However, despite formal approval of parts from the supplier, as well as confirmation of design and production capabilities, defective parts or components are sometimes assembled in cars and distributed to the market. Why does this happen? The answer can often be found not in the forms, manuals or procedures, but in the way the project teams communicate and cooperate with each other and with other organizations. This is confirmed by the research results presented in this paper, which show that one of the key issues requiring improvement during production implementations is not the knowledge of specialists, problems with the machine park or plant equipment, but increasing the ability of specialists and managers to effectively communicate and cooperate. It shows how important is the problem of risk assessment related to the project team for the project within the quality planning. According to the authors, the new model of project plan should be enriched with the risk assessment related to communication in the project team, as a part of the feasibility assessment of the whole project.

Hypermarket is one of the very popular concepts in distribution industry which has been developing rapidly in Indonesia and other emerging markets.The sustainable growth of Hypermarket industry largely attributed to consumers’ loyalty driven by marketing strategies and tactics supported by advanced information technology networking. Understanding Consumer behavior is one of the key successes of maintaining consumer loyalty. In this research, Consumer Impulse Buying Behavior and its influence on consumer loyalty has been dealt in detail. The main objective of this study was identifying the influence of Personal Antecedents, In-store Stimuli, In-store Browsing, Shopping Enjoyment, Convenience Orientation, and Perceived Time Pressure to Consumer Impulse Buying Behavior of Hypermarket in Jakarta to assess whether Impulse Buying influence the Consumer Store Loyalty. A conceptual model has been developed to test the relationships among these constructs. The findings expected to enrich the local traditional markets or small and medium enterprises to equip themselves as their competitive edge against the modern retailers and the hypermarkets as well. A new structural model devised to explain the various influences of the relationship among the variables. From the proposed seven hypotheses, there were four hypotheses significantly supportive, while three hypotheses were not supportive. Results and analysis show an interesting hypermarket consumer behavior in Jakarta which consistently enjoy shopping despite having time pressure, insufficient cash availability and lack of attention to in-store stimuli and store convenience. Interestingly this consumer segment was very impulsive in buying decisions and the empirical analysis shows that they were loyal to the store they visit to enjoy shopping as a simple means of recreation
