Zusammenfassung
In Rahmen dieses Beitrags sollen moderne Informationssysteme wie virtuelle Assistenten auf deren Unterstützungspotentiale im stationären Einzelhandel hin untersucht werden. Dabei wird ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Kooperationsfähigkeit dieser Systeme gelegt. Eine gute Kooperation zwischen Informationssystem und Händler soll insbesondere durch eine systemseitige emotionale Intelligenz beziehungsweise eine gute Empathie erreicht werden. Dazu werden moderne Ansätze betrachtet, welche das Ziel verfolgen, Emotionen von Informationssystemen messbar und interpretierbar zu machen. Im Zuge dieser Forschungsbemühungen wurden Experteninterviews im stationären Einzelhandel der Stadt Braunschweig durchgeführt, um den Bedarf sowie die Anforderungen an einen empathischen Virtuellen Assistenten abzufragen.
Abstract
In the context of this contribution, modern information systems such as virtual assistants are to be examined for their support potential in local retail. Special attention is paid to the ability of these systems to cooperate. Good cooperation between the information system and retailers should be achieved in particular through good system-side emotional intelligence or good empathy. For this purpose, current approaches are considered, which aim to make emotions of information systems measurable and interpretable. In the course of these research efforts, expert interviews were conducted in the local retail sector of the city of Braunschweig to determine the needs and requirements for an empathic virtual assistant.
