Softcover. Zustand: As New. Bereits seit einigen Jahren sind sehr volatile und zumeist steigende Rohstoffpreise zu beobachten, die insbesondere für materialintensive Industrieunternehmen ein Problem darstellen. Diese Unternehmen weisen bei erhöhten Rohstoffpreisen auch erhöhte Beschaffungskosten auf, was ceteris paribus zu einer Reduzierung des Gewinns führt. Dementsprechend wichtig ist das Management dieser Risiken. Allerdings ist das Management der Rohstoffpreisrisiken für ein einzelnes Unternehmen kaum durchführbar, da ein Großteil der Rohstoffe, die letztendlich in einem Endprodukt verarbeitet sind, von vorgelagerten Supply Chain-Partnern beschafft wird. Folglich entzieht sich ein großer Teil der Rohstoffbeschaffung dem traditionellen Einflussbereich eines einzelnen Unternehmens. Um dieser Verflechtung des individuellen Unternehmenserfolges mit dem der Zulieferer und Kunden Rechnung zu tragen, ist ein gemeinsamer unternehmensübergreifender Ansatz notwendig, um den Rohstoffpreisrisiken in der Supply Chain Herr zu werden. So werden basierend auf verwandten Konzepten Erfolgsfaktoren für ein Rohstoffpreisrisikomanagement in der SC abgeleitet, empirisch am Beispiel der Automobilindustrie untersucht und konzeptionell ausgestaltet. Mit der Erarbeitung dieses umfassenden Konzepts werden erstmals die verschiedenen operativen und strategischen Aspekte des Rohstoffpreisrisikomanagements in SC in einem Ansatz kombiniert und die enorme Vielfalt von Methoden und Instrumenten strukturiert auf ihre Anwendungsmöglichkeiten untersucht. Das Buch richtet sich an Wissenschaftler aus den Themenkomplexen Risikomanagement und Supply Chain Management und zugleich an Entscheidungsträger in der Praxis, die in ihrem Bereich das Thema des unternehmensübergreifenden Risikomanagements ausbauen wollen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Sponsorship has become an established tool within the marketing mix of many companies. A sponsorship can provide significant benefits for companies and brands, e. g. by increasing awareness and generating image transfers and thereby activating (potential) customers and multipliers. In Germany, a large number of companies have experiences as a sponsor and dedicate a substantial share of their communication budget to sponsorships ¿ often primarily in the sports market.However, recent developments like numerous doping scandals caused a shift of public interest in favour of other areas, e. g. culture. And since the latter market continuously gains relevance and is being covered by media, it has become more attractive for sponsors, too.Within the cultural area, music plays a central role in western cultures and has the potential to grow even further. Due to fast spreading new technologies like the Internet and the overall digitalisation, music has become accessible practically everywhere and for everyone. At the same time, the structure of the music industry, the roles of market participants as well as existing business models are subject to drastic changes. In conjunction with the increasing variety of potential music sponsoring measures, the present development provides new chances and risks for sponsors.This work examines how companies can take advantage of the latest developments within the music industry regarding sponsorship. Thereto the markets of music and sponsorship are analysed and relevant opportunities and threats for (potential) sponsors on the music market are derived. Based on the findings, strategic advice is given for companies considering sponsoring activities in the ¿music industry 2.0¿.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Without a doubt, Global Economic Trends have sustainably changed today¿s economic and socioeconomic landscape, and the transformational power of GETs will drive industries and markets to a new secular destination. However, there are substantial uncertainties over future economic growth, arising from the complex interplay of domestic and global determinants, including such diverse factors as demographics, advances in technology, capital availability, scarcity of resources, domestic policies and global trade, regimes, environmental policies and financial regulations. Aligning the right information to successfully plan and to implement management principles is challenging to corporations, especially when addressing resource and investment decisions. Therefore, corporations need to establish organizational measures to incorporate the risks associated to GETs into the strategic management process, and to avoid harm to the corporate portfolio. The scientific contribution of this thesis is a tool called GET assessment framework, which can be applied within strategic business planning to tackle risks associated to GETs. The intent of the tool is to analyze the impact of a trend to the actual business situation of the corporation, and to help the management to formulate and to establish counter measures within a scenario planning. To prove its applicability, the GET scarcity of resources is used to demonstrate how the shortage of oil is affecting a virtual corporation that is operating within the chemical industry, which is a recent problem to business planning in the industry. Using the concept of corporate evaluation, which is introduced within the assessment framework, potential risks are identified. By this means, external risks are mapped to the internal environment of the corporation and countermeasures are developed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Many challenges in multivariate analysis face the problem of dealing with samples whose dimension is of the same order as their size. This high-dimensional setting often leads to inconsistencies or degenerated distributions of certain estimators. In particular, estimators which are based on the sample covariance matrix are affected as the eigenvalues of this matrix behave differently under high-dimensionality than the ones of the population covariance matrix. But the eigenvalues of certain estimators for scatter also exhibit a remarkable behavior in the classical setting when the sample size is much larger than the dimension. The first major contribution of this thesis is the establishment of the semicircle law of Tyler's M-estimator for scatter. It is shown that the empirical distribution of the eigenvalues of this estimator, suitably standardized, converges in probability to the semicircle law under spherical sampling and assuming that the sample dimension and size tend to infinity while their ratio tends to zero. The second focus of this thesis is on covariance matrix testing. A completely new test for a scalar multiple of the covariance matrix of a normal population under high-dimensionality is derived. This new test is motivated by the properties of the semicircle law in free probability theory and exhibits large local power if the ratio of dimension to sample size is small. Statistical inference for high-dimensional portfolios is the third contribution of this thesis. The standard estimators for the variance and mean of the portfolio return of the global minimum variance, naive and tangency portfolio are investigated concerning consistency and asymptotic distribution under high-dimensionality. The corresponding Sharpe ratios and the weights of the global minimum variance portfolio are considered as well. An application to financial data illustrates the results.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The creation of synergy, which is often illustrated as the ¿2+2=5-effect¿, is a dominant motive as well as a key success factor for Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). Inadequate expectations with respect to the synergistic potential can however easily result in an overrated acquisition price. If the planned synergies later fail to materialize, it will be increasingly hard for the acquiring firm to achieve positive value gains for its shareholders. It is therefore vital to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the synergistic potential of a planned M&A project. This issue was addressed with a doctoral thesis investigating the underlying drivers of synergy realization, in particular the concept of business relatedness which describes the similarity of firm attributes, such as product-market presence, resource configuration and supply channel types. Using a quantitative hypothesis-testing survey design, more than 300 M&A consultants worldwide have been invited to evaluate past M&A transactions with respect to their synergistic effects. In contrast to earlier studies, the relatedness of the merging firms is established as a multi-dimensional concept considering various attributes of business relatedness simultaneously. The degree of relatedness is measured using managerial perceptions which is a comparatively new measurement approach transferred from diversification research to the field of M&A. The individual dimensions of relatedness show a different effectiveness concerning synergy realization providing further support to recent contributions which advocate a multi-dimensional conceptualization of business relatedness. The study identifies dimensions of business relatedness and their underlying drivers which are particularly relevant to predictions concerning the synergistic potential. The research project thus makes a valuable contribution to clarify the impact of relatedness on M&A performance and provides important implications for practitioners regarding the evaluation of synergies and dyssynergies in future M&A projects.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 148 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Due to the growing importance and complexity of company groups and a proceeding decentralisation, subsidiary controlling is becoming more and more important. Performance measurement systems are a key instrument of subsidiary controlling. The correct use of performance measures combined with the right incentives can help reduce information asymmetry between the corporate centre and subsidiaries and at the same time ensure an orientation toward corporate objectives on all levels. In this book, the concept of performance measurement systems in the context of subsidiary controlling is explained. One focus is the thorough discussion of financial performance measures and their use in subsidiary controlling. Particularities in subsidiary controlling are for instance the determination of divisional cost-of-capital for value-based management and the aggregation of measures to the corporate level. The second focus is the design of performance measurement systems depending on certain characteristics of the company and its environment. It is emphasised that there is not one right way of designing controlling systems. Instead, they have to be aligned to certain situational variables such as strategy, organisational structure or environmental uncertainty. For example, managers of business units that pursue differentiation strategies should be evaluated by more non-financial performance measures than managers of business units with a low-cost strategy. The book can be used as guidance for practitioners concerned with the design of performance measurement systems ¿ for example corporate controllers, management consultants or investment managers in holding companies. It also provides a starting point for academics that intend to conduct further research on related topics.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The genus Borrelia belongs to the spirochete phylum, an ancient evolutionary branch of the domain bacteria that is only afar related to Gram-negative bacteria. All Borrelia species are obligate parasites and have a biphasic life cycle in common alternating between vertebrate hosts and their arthropod vectors. Borreliae can be subdivided into the agents of the two borrelian-caused human diseases, Lyme disease and relapsing fever. Due to the small 0.91 Mb chromosome, borreliae have a lack of biosynthetic capacity and limited metabolic pathways. Thus, all Borrelia species are highly dependent on nutrients provided by their hosts. The transport of nutrients and other molecules across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, such as Borrelia species, is enabled by pore-forming proteins, so-called porins. In one chapter of this study, the first identification and characterization of a relapsing fever porin, namely Oms38, is presented. A protein homologous to Oms38 was also identified in Lyme disease agents. Interestingly, this pore, designated as DipA, does not form a general diffusion pore but a channel with a binding-site specific for different dicarboxylates. In another set of experiments, it was shown that the porin P66 is present in both Lyme disease and relapsing fever species. The channel diameter and the constitution of Borrelia burgdorferi P66 were investigated in detail. Taking together, this thesis describes detailed biochemical and biophysical investigations of both Lyme disease and relapsing fever Borrelia porins and represents an important step forward in understanding the outer membrane pathways for nutrient uptake of these strictly host-dependent, pathogenic spirochetes. A profound knowledge of surface-exposed proteins, such as porins, is one precondition for the production of a successful vaccine and the drug design against the two borrelian-caused diseases.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Englisch.

Die Beiträge beruhen auf einer Ringvorlesung der Kieler Zweigstelle der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Osteuropakunde e. V. und des Instituts für Osteuropäisches Recht der Universität Kiel, in der Wissenschaftler aus verschiedenen Disziplinen (Politische Wissenschaft, Volkswirtschaft, Rechtswissenschaft) und Vertreter der Diplomatie (der Botschafter Aserbaidschans in Deutschland und der deutsche Botschafter in Turkmenistan) prägende Aspekte des Wirtschaftsraums ¿Kaspisches Meer¿ vorstellten. Einige Beiträge sind regionübergreifend angelegt, andere konzentrieren sich auf einzelne Anrainerstaaten des Kaspischen Meers. Dabei überschneiden sich häufig die verschiedenen Fachdisziplinen, z. B. wären wirtschaftliche Analysen ohne eine Berücksichtigung der politischen Dimensionen und juristischen Rahmenbedingungen unvollkommen. Den Beiträgen des Bandes ist gemeinsam, dass die entsprechende Thematik zwar umfassend, aber doch unter weitgehendem Verzicht auf jeweilige Fachterminologie dargestellt wird. Der Band richtet sich vor diesem Hintergrund nicht nur an Juristen, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Politologen und Historiker, sondern in gleichem Maße auch an die interessierte Öffentlichkeit.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The development of ontologies which aims at capturing knowledge as a formal structural framework, is an important foundation for a wide range of applications. Since ontology development is usually a collaborative activity which may span a long period of time, it is critical to provide developers with a suitable development environment that supports collaboration in a flexible manner and that facilitates the building of robust and accurate ontologies. In this dissertation, the author focusses his effort on providing an easy-to-use collaborative ontology development environment that supports both synchronous and asynchronous collaborative activities. Two prototype systems were developed to reach the goal based on an extensive requirement study. The first prototype system servers numerous functions in supporting synchronized cooperation. A Java based application provides developers with several functions. For example, with the help of group-awareness and a locking mechanism, involved developers become aware of actions from other users, which enables them to work without conflict in terms of editing the same ontology resources. Based on the experiences gathered from implementing the first prototype system, the requirement of supporting asynchronous cooperation was studied. A version control system especially in the fields of coping with ontology data structure is a central component to satisfy the requirement. This second approach primarily supports local workspaces that can be synchronized with a central server-based ontology store and is capable of controlling versions on the level of individual ontology resources. Although working in their own workspace ontology developers can achieve a consensual shared ontology through committing, updating and merging activities. Each version of an ontology resource will be preserved in the form of a snapshot. The evolution of either a single ontology resource or the entire ontology can further be illustrated to developers in an intuitive, visual way.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The main goal of this book is to emphasize the impact of ubiquity on scientific entrepreneurship and to promote practical ways to make scientific entrepreneurship ubiquitous within universities in order to create more startups, for economic and societal benefit. The book begins with a look at the state of research on ubiquity in humanities and information technology. First, the ubiquity of God in theology is analyzed, with a focus on the three major religions ¿ Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism. Also, ubiquity in the field of law is investigated to examine whether and how ubiquity is described in jurisprudence and in how far it adds to the concept of ubiquity. Second, the field of IT is focused, where ubiquity occurs in the area of ubiquitous computing. The analysis of the state of research in humanities and information technology than allows the identification of certain characteristics of ubiquity. These characteristics are used as determinants to develop a model, consisting of a general ubiquitous entrepreneurship framework and a ubiquitous entrepreneurship board. This model was developed to ensure that each university can use the identified characteristics for ubiquity from theology and IT to individually define itself as an entrepreneurial university, and derive methods and instruments to promote ubiquitous entrepreneurship holistically.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 132 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Fully integrating sustainability into a corporate strategy has progressively become the ubiquitous norm. However, designing a credible, effective sustainability strategy still appears to be a challenging task and lacking employee support frequently labels the strategies as insignificant public relations practices. As the awareness for sustainability issues prevails, the call for a substantial paradigm shift in corporate mindsets emerges: For any sustainability strategy to be successful, the affected employees need to be aligned and engaged behind it. Human Resource Development (HRD) as proper training enabler for such strategies offers important voice and expertise to realize the true satisfaction of sustainability ambitions.At the present time of globalization and due to the critical need to consider environmental, social, and financial consequences of business operations, the sustainability movement cannot be considered a passing trend. Since HRD is expected to play a facilitative role in establishing corporate sustainability, this work proposes theoretical approaches linking HRD with sustainability and corporate responsibility. The empirical purpose of this study is to investigate the current engagement of HRD in the field, examining one fundamental question: Assuming that employees are key success factors for sustainability strategies, how can HRD professionals and departments ensure that sustainable behavior will be part of all members of a company Drawing from qualitative expert interviews with senior HRD managers of large companies that declare explicit commitment to sustainability within different industries, the evidence shows that their engagement still tends to be limited. This research concludes with an argument for greater involvement of HRD in corporate sustainability endeavors and offers suggestions for research and practice towards this end.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 140 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Nord Stream ¿ a gas pipeline project situated in the Baltic Sea ¿ has repeatedly attracted attention in public and political arena in recent years. The pipeline brings Russian gas directly to Germany and avoids transit states. The project was initiated by Chancellor Schröder and President Putin as well as several German and Russian energy companies in 2005. Two tubes have been operational since 2011 (Nord Stream 1). Two further tubes (Nord Stream 2) are now added, for which planning started in 2015 and completion is scheduled for 2019. The economic rationale of the pipeline is to reduce transportation costs, create capacities and avoid dependencies on transit states.This project is under intense debate for economic, political and security matters, whereby European and US stakeholders are participating in the discussion.At a time when the post-World War II order has come to an end and alliances are being reshaped, Nord Stream 2 evokes a fundamental international relations question:Has the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project divided Germany from its traditional partners and allies in its Russia policy in the long term This dissertation discusses and illustrates the considerable foreign policy impact of the Nord Stream 2 project on Germany¿s international relations in above context and offers possible policy routes forward.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -For corporate management, the strategic decision between running a firm with multiple businesses or focusing on its core business is of fundamental importance. The question of whether corporate diversification creates or destroys value has attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners for quite some time. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the latest research on the corporate diversification effect on firm value and derives important findings for firm valuation. The well-established standard valuation models are often barely able to consider the peculiarities of multi-business firms, which often operate in various industries and have unique characteristics with respect to growth potential, cash flow dynamics and risk exposure, among other factors. The author presents a multi-business firm valuation approach which includes the effects of corporate diversification on firm value. The approach contains an explicit projection of the different characteristics for each business segment and considers segment-specific cash flows and capital costs, reflecting the differences in risk and growth characteristics across the different businesses in which a firm operates. The model also reflects diversification effects across the various phases of the business cycle, by considering asymmetric co-movements between businesses, which the author reveals in an empirical study. These diversification effects include cross-subsidization between business segments and risk reduction through debt co-insurance effect, as well as the impact on bankruptcy costs. The findings are useful for strategic business planning and the choice of M&A and private equity investments. The work is particularly relevant to decisions on optimal diversification strategy in business portfolio analysis and risk management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 164 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Due to the influence of economic changes, young SMEs which are at the corporate identification stage of development must pay particular attention to general conditions such as the micro and macro environment. These often difficult starting points and problem situations make adjustment processes essential as there is freedom to act and the pursued strategies need to be reconsidered. Priority for all young SMEs is stable, sustainable and healthy growth. Therefore, it is a key management task to deal with the definition, planning, and implementation of strategies.The objective of this thesis was to generate practical knowledge for young SMEs in the area of strategic corporate planning and service engineering and establish a workable and applicable phase approach for management.The research results were systematized and evaluated to an action plan for a solution of the problem. The applications of the different instruments have been evaluated for their practicability using primary research in 17 multiple case studies over a two-year period. The evaluations of these case studies highlight the applicability of instruments in young SMEs. Based on these results, consequences were derived and future strategic challenges were pointed out.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 168 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -At all times, looking into the future and knowing what is happening has been a dream of mankind. As a symbol for this attempt the Oracle of Delphi is the best proof and until today the Delphi-Method is an important decision support tool. Despite of all methods and procedures to make forecasting a high level of responsibility, seriousness and professionalism of all the involved people is an absolute necessity. Today, unfortunately we often have the situation where those who are putting society at risk are 'no true statisticians', merely people using statistics either without understanding them or in a self-serving manner. This is not a joke, this is criminal! In the present contribution, the 16th volume of the publication series ¿Economy and Labour¿ with the title ¿Forecasting: A Challenge for True Statisticians¿, a scientific, well proofed method of mathematical statistics for Time Series Analysis and Forecasting is presented. It is one of the mathematically oriented methods and procedures of Customer-oriented-Holistic-Netted-Logistics CHNL described in this publication series. In the present volume an important forecasting tool is described and its power is impressively shown by case studies using the SCA-Software system.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 168 pp. Englisch.
