Consumers’ Disposal Behavior at the Base of the Pyramid
(2024)
This dissertation explores the sources of sustainable waste management by examining the disposal behavior of low-income consumers at the base of the pyramid (BoP). Consumer product and package disposal behavior varies internationally and requires a selective strategy for waste management at the BoP. Uniform approaches to waste management have proven inadequate, as BoP markets are complex and heterogeneous and thus need to be considered individually.
Therefore, this dissertation focuses on identifying factors influence ...

Static and Dynamic Characterization of MEMS Micromirror and Microshutter arrays: Reliability and Lifetime
(2024)
Buildings are responsible for 40 % of the primary energy consumption and 36 % of the total CO2 emissions. There is a huge potential to decrease energetic consumption for lighting and heating/cooling by substituting the 85 % of inefficient glazing areas in EU’s buildings with energy efficient smart glazing windows. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) based smart glazing system comprising of millions of micro mirrors (invisible to the bare eye) is investigated here. This concept allows dynamic light steering by ...

Biases im Planungsprozess
(2023)
Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage nach der Relevanz und der Diagnostizierbarkeit kognitiver, motivationaler und gruppendynamischer Biases im Kontext organisationaler Planungsprozesse. Ziel der Arbeit war es, einen Fragebogen zu entwickeln, der die Anfälligkeit von Gruppen für derartige Biases erfasst und damit einen Indikator für die Qualität von Planungsprozessen darstellt.
Bezüglich des Problems der Diagnostizierbarkeit impliziter Biases zeigt sich in der Literatur, dass die Organisationskultur die ...

Experimental analyses of individual sustainable choices
(2023)
This dissertation complements the aforementioned studies by considering choice and allocation experiments which allow to directly examine how individuals choose between sustainable prod-ucts and their conventional counterparts. It particularly examines how different experimental designs and interventions causally affect choices between sustainable electricity contracts and investments over their conventional counterparts and provides guidance on how to analyze these choices using a Monte Carlo experiment.
