Item Metadata only Diversity management as a model for success : diversity as a success factor in strategic human resources work(2018) Gökcek, Sevilay; Garg, Ritam; Kang, Long; Faculty of Business Administration; Berlin International University of Applied Sciences"Diversity management applies on the one hand to image politics, sometimes to the fulfilment of social and moral obligations such as equal treatment of men and women, but now also increasingly to a business management instrument for the use of the resource "diversity". To what extent strategic approaches have been developed in companies, which measures are applied and which advantages or difficulties companies see associated with this concept is determined in an international comparison of studies and afterwards in a questionnaire study with a German company. The focus is on understanding and dealing with cultural diversity in Germany. [...] there is a pluralisation of society in which individuals and subgroups are increasingly emerging from the large homogeneous mass. [...] This heterogeneous range has an impact on the labour market and must be taken into account in the recruitment and deployment of workers. Now, however, the combination of the needs of the companies and the supply on the market will lead to a certain adaptation, which, however, has to be coordinated. Diversity management, which is presented below as a tool for using diversity as a resource, is a good way of doing this (cf. Knight et al., 1999). [...] The aim of this scientific elaboration is to generate comprehensive knowledge about diversity management as such, to be able to rationally weigh up opportunities and risks and to know the various options for action of the respective dimensions of diversity derived from this. In order to create the necessary knowledge base, the terms diversity and management are discussed. Based on this, the opportunities and risks of companies involved in implementing diversity management are presented. In conclusion, the findings are summarized, followed by a critical analysis of the assignment. Finally, an outlook on possible changes is given. In order to test the theory in practice, a case study of the company DTP is presented."Item Restricted Multisensory Design Strategies for Dementia-sensitive Architecture(2023) Tihana Milošević; Anwandter, Juan Almarza; Starck, Adrian von; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The human experience, intricately linked to the brain's complex processes, encompasses intelligence, self-determination, and thoughts. While scientific exploration has unraveled aspects of this complexity, the full potential remains unrealized. Some individuals, grappling with diseases impacting cognitive function and the adverse effects of medication, find their ability to express and engage in daily activities curtailed. This reality fuels disputes over dignity within healthcare, exacerbating the challenges faced by affected individuals (WHO 2015). Dementia, an incurable and pervasive ailment affecting 55 million globally (WHO 2023), poses a significant threat. In Germany alone, 1.8 million individuals contend with dementia, with over 100,000 below the age of 65, and these numbers are on the rise (DAlzG 2022). Recognizing dementia as a "public health priority," organizations like the World Health Organization and Alzheimer's Disease International advocate for systemic adjustments. Initiatives such as the National Dementia Strategy (2020) and its predecessor, 'Die Allianz für Menschen mit Demenz,' focus on countering stigmatization and social isolation. These efforts aim to foster dementia-sensitive spaces, fostering research and social interactions (Federal Government 2021). This research addresses the revolutionary potential of multisensory interior design strategies catering to the sensory needs of those with dementia. By creating life-enhancing spaces, the goal is to contribute to designing principles that prioritize multisensory stimulation. This approach seeks to adapt to individual patient needs, fostering suitable atmospheres that support relationships between affected individuals, their families, friends, and caregivers.

Patient's Outcome(2023) Cyrillon Moses Casey; Goodwin, Amara; Köknar, Sait Ali; Faculty of Architecture and Design; Berlin International University of Applied SciencesAI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This study aims to explore the significant yet often overlooked role of interior design in healthcare settings. Interior design not only affects patients' experiences but also impacts the well-being and efficiency of healthcare professionals. This research posits that a well-designed medical facility can potentially accelerate recovery times, improve medication adherence, and enhance the overall well-being of everyone involved. Through a mixture of case studies, surveys, and interviews, this study will examine various design elements in healthcare facilities, ranging from color schemes to spatial layouts, and assess their impact on patient outcomes and staff well-being. The ultimate goal is to identify key design strategies and develop a set of best practices that can guide future healthcare interior design projects.
