note = {This doctoral thesis is featured as a pseudo-cumulative work. Three independent chapters (2 to 4) are framed by an introductory and a concluding chapter (1 and 5).
The objective of this thesis was to develop a concept proposal for improving information management of animal disease prevention and control, to assess the implementation by experts and to test it on a pilot application.
The methodical-theoretical approach of the Engage Exchange Model was used. Initially the question was studied how the existing information and information structures of the private and public sector can meet the information needs of involved decision makers in case of an animal disease outbreak. Furthermore, 26 expert interviews provided statements on which potential has not been exhausted yet. A strategic alliance was proposed as an organizational concept for improved information management, consisting of farmers, inter-company network coordinators, who representing farmers, competent regional veterinary authorities and superior public institutions with managerial functions in case of an animal disease outbreak. To enable an assessment of the implementation level of a communication concept in a strategic alliance, a process reference model according to the maturity method of ISO 15504 was defined. Based on this model a concrete task list and time roadmap can be established for the integration of an individual organization into the strategic alliance. An exemplary maturity assessment was executed on 12 selected livestock trading organizations being on the path to private network coordinators, with particular regard to engage and exchange additional information with partners of the predefined alliance. Finally, the application of a technical support tool for communication according to the Engage Exchange Model was tested and assessed. The outbreak of Classical Swine Fever in an area near the Dutch German border served as crisis scenario to demonstrate the functionalities of the tool for specific user groups. A subsequent validation by a method combination of anonymous survey, demonstration and discussion panel in the framework of a workshop with 13 experts and potential applicants resulted in concrete statements about necessary developments in the future process of prototyping and possible further application areas of this approach for the field of feed and food control.
The prototype presented and validated in this thesis serves as a support tool for public-private partnership alliances to facilitate an improved crisis communication. It represents a first technical-organizational concept proposal which should be implemented in future joint exercises for crisis management.},
