Harvard Business Manager reports on Connected Cars study

The study on Connected Car Services by Professor Hans-Christian Riekhof and Marc Scholz (2020) was picked up by the Harvard Business Manager in its March issue.

Under the headline “Connected Cars – Who gets my data?”, the business trade magazine primarily addresses the question raised in the study by the researchers of whom German drivers trust more with the use of data in connected vehicles: the automotive corporations or the tech corporations. Riekhof, Professor of International Marketing at the Private University of Göttingen and author of numerous marketing studies, and Marc Scholz revealed in the sensational study that the tech corporations are at a disadvantage here. “German drivers trust automotive corporations like Daimler (Mercedes), BMW, VW and Toyota far more than large tech corporations when it comes to the security of their data in connected cars (Connected Cars)”, the magazine quotes one of the important results of the study, which is based on a survey among specialists and executives.

Accordingly, Google, Amazon and Facebook ended up in the last places. From the authors’ point of view, this will remain the biggest obstacle to the further development of the services, the Harvard Business Manager continues to quote.

Electronics Journal Reports on Study of Connected Car Services

The online electronics journal elektronikpraxis.vogel.de reports on September 15, 2020 about the study on Connected Car Services by Prof. Dr. Hans Christian Riekhof and Marc Scholz. Under the title “Concerns about the data security of networked vehicles”, the editorial team particularly highlights the aspect of data security.

The magazine quotes, among other things, one of the central findings that the authors of the study made with regard to consumer behavior. For consumers, not only cost-benefit aspects played an important role in the decision for or against Connected Car Services, but also the question of data security. The study therefore also examined the willingness of drivers to leave information about their health-related driving ability, their driving behavior or the chosen routes and detours to an international corporation.

Drivers with concerns about data security

The study found that compared to leading automotive corporations with leading IT corporations, users place higher trust in the automotive corporations. Nevertheless, security concerns regarding their data remained comparatively high at 68%. The trust in the premium manufacturers in the use of data from the connectivity services is therefore high: Apple is in 4th place ahead of other European manufacturers. Facebook and Google are clearly lagging behind.

The study “Customer Insights: Connected Car Services in Germany”, was conducted from March 2 to 31, 2020 by Hans-Christian Riekhof, Professor of International Marketing, and Marc Scholz, co-author of the study and master’s graduate, for the Private University of Göttingen (PFH). The procedure is based on a quantitative data collection in the form of a standardized questionnaire.
