This research is going to make a contribution in following areas: \- Analyzing the institutional setting and the role of macro phenomena and the dynamics of the regime in a multi-level perspective analysis. \- Discussion of the cultural dimension in Germany and its influence on micro-CHP development. \- Analyzing the current regulatory framework regarding micro-CHP and its effects on benefits or costs of technology users. The main research question is: How do the regulatory framework and institutional setting in combination with German culture influence the development of entrepreneurial activities regarding micro-CHP? The approach to answer this question includes mixture of qualitative and quantitative analysis. For studying the interaction between the institutional setting, regulations and culture to understand the development of the technological innovation system of micro-CHP in Germany, one theory and two approaches were used for analysis: 1) Economic theory of entrepreneurship, 2) Multilevel perspective analysis to explaining Institutional changes, 3) Value proposition concept for analyzing the regulatory framework.||In diese Forschung, betonte wir die Rolle von der Entrepreneure in die technologischen Innovationen in Bezug auf die Entwicklung von Mikro-Kraft- Wärme-Kopplung (Mikro-KWK) in deutsche Energiesystem. Diese Forschung würde folgende Themen abdecken: \- Analyse der institutionellen Rahmenbedingungen und die Rolle der Makroebene Phänomena und die Dynamik des System in einem Multi ebene Perspektive. \- Diskussion die kulturelle Dimensionen in Deutschland und ihre Einfluß auf die Mikro-KWK Entwicklung basiert auf ""Economic theory of entrepreneurship"" von Mark Casson. \- Die Einflüsse verschiedener Gesetze (EE‐G, KWK‐G, Energiesteuergesetz, Stromsteuergesetz, EE‐Wärme‐G, Mini‐KWK Förderrichtlinie, KfW‐Förderprogramm) und Energie Price wurde auf die Entwicklung des Mikro Kraft‐Wärme‐Kupplung in Deutschland aus wirtschaftliche Perspektive basiert auf Kapitalwert Analyse diskutiert. Unsere Analyse zeigt dass die Förderungsprogramm der Lände zusammen mit KWK-G und EEG, die Wichtigste Förderungen in Regulierungsrahmen sind. Außerdem, die Liberalisierung des Energiemarkts in Deutschland hat Positive Wirkung.","XV, 233 Seiten","https://refubium.fu-berlin.de/handle/fub188/4452||http://dx.doi.org/10.17169/refubium-8652","urn:nbn:de:kobv:188-fudissthesis000000101172-2","eng","http://www.fu-berlin.de/sites/refubium/rechtliches/Nutzungsbedingungen","micro CHP||regulatory framework||German culture||Multi level Perspective analysis","300 Sozialwissenschaften::330 Wirtschaft::330 Wirtschaft||300 Sozialwissenschaften::300 Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie::306 Kultur und Institutionen||300 Sozialwissenschaften::320 Politikwissenschaft::320 Politikwissenschaft||300 Sozialwissenschaften::320 Politikwissenschaft::328 Der Gesetzgebungsprozess","Development of micro CHP in Germany","analyzing the influences of regulatory framework and institutional setting in combination with German culture on development of entrepreneurial activities","Entwicklung von Mikro‐Kraft‐Wärme‐Kopplung in Deutschland","Untersuchung der Einflüsse des Regulierungs- und institutionellen Rahmen in Kombination mit der deutschen Kultur auf der unternehmerischen Aktivitäten","Dissertation","free","open access","Text","Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften","FUDISS_derivate_000000018556","FUDISS_thesis_000000101172"
