The use of cloud applications is becoming increasingly popular due to their scalability and cost advantages. However, companies need help in adopting cloud applications due to their internal policies and compliance requirements. Trust and security are crucial factors that influence the adoption of cloud applications. This book proposes a cloud architecture that addresses this challenge by shifting the trust for compliance-driven configurations of cloud applications from the cloud application provider to the blockchain. The architecture was developed using design science research and evaluated using mixed-method semi-structured guided interviews. The results show that the proposed architecture can significantly reduce adoption risk due to compliance-driven cloud application configurations, shifting trust from the cloud provider to the blockchain. This book presents an innovative approach to address the challenge of adopting cloud applications, and enhancing trust and security for businesses.

NFTs cause excitement and skepticism. How much value can a token hold? What drives this value?To properly appreciate NFTs we must first understand what they actually are, how they work and in what contexts they are used.The Everything Token is an essential primer on NFTs (non-fungible tokens), explaining their use, purpose, and how businesses can create and exploit them to develop new product lines, building customer loyalty and increased revenues at the same time.Together the authors have spent much of the past few years embedded in NFT communities and helping launch NFT products. As self-described beta testers of this brand-new technology, they've seen its power first-hand and aim to educate others on the importance, uses and purpose of NFT and surrounding, ever-evolving technologies.Demystifying the complexities, two experts in NFTs show why we should take NFTs much more seriously than their reputation as fun digital art collectibles suggest. They have a wider variety of uses than one may realise.Gripping and accessible, this book provides a guide and an insight into what can often be a hard-to-grasp area of technology.

In diesem Buch wird thematisiert, wie die Virtualisierung von Teams den Umfang der informellen Kommunikation zwischen den Teammitgliedern beeinflusst und durch welche Faktoren dieser Einfluss moderiert wird. Dazu wurden nach einer Darstellung des Forschungsstands und Begründung der Forschungslücke aus der Theorie sieben Untersuchungshypothesen hergeleitet und diese anhand einer qualitativen Studie überprüft. Die Untersuchung ergab, dass der Umfang informeller Kommunikation bezogen auf die Häufigkeit der Interaktionen bei virtueller Zusammenarbeit erheblich abnimmt. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf eine diesen Einfluss moderierende Wirkung der Aufgabeninterdependenz, der Medienreichhaltigkeit, des mit der Kontaktaufnahme verbundenen Aufwands sowie des sozio-emotionalen Zustands des Teams hin. Auf Basis der Ergebnisse werden Implikationen für Forschung und Praxis abgeleitet.
