PriBizz
Project Overview
The project "PriBizz - Web Analytics Business Models for Privacy-by-Design and the Support of Informational Self-Determination of Citizens" deals with the question of how specific business models and services in the field of web analytics can be designed in a privacy-friendly way in Europe. In contrast to current practice, their use should ensure the protection of privacy and the exercise of informational self-determination by citizens. On the other hand, it should be ensured that the design of new digital forms of economic value creation does not lag behind the possibilities of other regions (e.g. USA and China). Accordingly, the project primarily pursues the goal of developing concrete and implementable concepts that take privacy and data protection into account in the context of specific social and societal situations, particularly with regard to digital advertising. To this end, different research perspectives on the field of investigation will be developed and integrated by the interdisciplinary network of business informatics, law and applied ethics. This makes it possible to take into account technical issues as well as legal and ethical/moral ones. The project team aims to use the findings to derive business models that reconcile economic value generation, data protection and informational self-determination.

ISHARE - Impact of the Sharing Economy in Germany
Project Overview
The project aims at assessing the contribution of the sharing economy for sustainable management in Germany. To address this matter, (1) the sharing economy organizations and their business models are identified and systematized; (2) indicators of the functionality and the economic, environmental and social impacts of different types of business models are developed; (3) contributions to sustainable business practices of sharing economy organizations (as well as those with competing business models) are determined with the help of empirical studies; (4) recommendations for action are derived on how the contribution of individual business models of the sharing economy can be increased through appropriate approaches to disseminate effective models.
