    Digital Transformation in Forestry - Stakeholders and Data Collection in German Forests
    (INFORMATIK 2023 - Designing Futures: Zukünfte gestalten, 2023) Pleger, Michael; Schiering, Ina
    This paper examines the process of data collection within forestry and its individuals and organizations in Germany as a first step towards digitization. Germany has one of the largest forest areas in Europe and plays a significant role in mitigating the impacts of climate change and providing ecosystem services to society. To fulfill this role, data collection is required by law for most forests in Germany. This data collection has been historically labor intensive and time consuming. Data collection through Internet of Things (IoT) devices has the potential to improve the efficiency and accuracy of forestry operations while also providing valuable insights into forest health and productivity. Modern data collection through drones and satellite imagery already provide significant benefits to the economy of forestry. This could be further enhanced by low-cost IoT devices bundled as sensor networks in forests to gather data over a lifespan of a forest.

    The Potential Value of Digitization for Business
    (INFORMATIK 2017, 2017) Härting, Ralf-Christian; Reichstein, Christopher; Jozinovic, Philip
    IT know-how is one of the main drivers for digitization within enterprises. Besides, new business models evolve from recent digitization processes because of ongoing information technologies in the world of business. The question to solve within this paper is what is the potential value of digitization for business? Some managers are still hesitating or even refusing to enter their enterprises into a digital transformation. This study will be part of a better understanding, that considering several issues of digitization can be worth it! Based on a qualitative research by interviewing German-speaking experts, the authors found six factors (efficiency, innovation, data privacy, mobility, new business models and human integration) and two moderating effects (industry and firm size) that influence the potential value of digitization for business.

    Totally Digital? Adoption of Digital Farm Management Information Systems
    (40. GIL-Jahrestagung, Digitalisierung für Mensch, Umwelt und Tier, 2020) Schulze Schwering, Dorothee; Lemken, Dominic
    Digital applications are widely used in agricultural practice and offer opportunities to increase agricultural productivity and safety. In recent years, especially digital farm management information systems (FMIS) combined with mobile applications have made technical progress, which has significantly increased their potential to e.g. enhance sustainability, facilitate networking processes, reduce working time or cut costs. However, the low number of active FMIS users shows that their potential has not yet been fully exploited in practice. This study examined the factors that influence agricultural adaptation behaviour of FMIS using data from a survey of 285 German farmers. Results show that the actual use of FMIS was determined particularly by the assessment of the suitability of the systems for the respective farm, economic efficiency and compatibility of the systems were the main factors that affected intended use. To transform farmers from intended to actual users, the providers of FMIS should work on overcoming these barriers.
