Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Internet and media addiction research has grown in the past decades. We investigated the causal processes involved in the development of TV and Internet addiction. We conducted three studies to develop and validate new measures of TV and Internet affinity, or importance, based on the compulsion and salience dimensions. We discovered that TV and Internet compulsion parallels the incentive-sensitization theory¿s excessive wanting factor, and that compulsion and strength of habit of use are the main determinants of media dependence. We report that compulsion and habit totally mediated the impact of media use on addiction, and we suggest the ¿habit scrambling¿ and ¿habit replacement¿ techniques for dealing with behavioral addictions. Counseling professionals, policy makers, addiction specialists, and researchers of risk behaviors will benefit from the results of this research. Assessing behavioral compulsion along with common factors of risk can become a valuable screening practice for a range of behaviors that can potentially lead to abuse and psychological dependence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the laws that make available to health, employment and work rights for persons with disabilities in Pakistan and all over the World. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2006 ensures health, employment and work rights under Article 25 & 27 respectively, whereas Pakistani laws on disability rights as ¿Mental Health Ordinance 2001¿ and ¿Disabled Persons (Employment and Rehabilitation) 1981¿do not cover the health, employment and work rights of persons with disabilities in the same footing. The research aims at highlighting the problems of the Pakistani law since persons with disabilities in the State are not provided health, employment and work rights. The deficiencies of the Pakistani laws are identified through drawing comparison of the UN Convention and Pakistani laws on the rights of persons with disabilities and some recommendations have been made which will harmonize the Pakistani legislation under the UN Convention on disability rights.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The hotel industry prides itself in its welcoming attitude by offering hospitality, comfort and privacy. Meanwhile, guest safety and security has been argued to be of primary concern. The aim of this work was to study how hoteliers implement risk management procedures to ensure safe hotel operations, and to study how to gap the bridge between providing hospitable services which are safe and secure. The study found that the hotel industry in Sweden lacks a common risk management framework to implement consistently and coherently. A common framework would enable hoteliers to embrace risk management and be able to utilize it in their operation. It was also found that risk management ought to be integrated in all organizational processes. It should not be an isolated event, but rather implemented on an on-going basis. Providing hospitable services that are safe necessitates that risk management is implemented consistently by regularly aiming to raise current standard. Hence, continuous improvement ought to be of fundamental importance in any organization that is fully committed to risk management. This study, therefore, suggests a model that interlinks risk- and quality management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This paper explores the regulation of the financial sector, with particular emphasis on the banking industry. It tries to evaluate existing regulation policies, their effect on economic activity and their effectiveness in keeping the sanctity of the financial sector. It gives an overview of its basis and changes through time and some of its inherent problems. It also looked through previous works, at the effectiveness of regulation on financial stability. The Canadian Financial sector was used as a case study following its apparent resilience to the 2007/08 financial crisis that rocked the world. Being an industrialized country and a member of the G10, this has caused a lot of interest in the regulatory structure and practice of the country with a view to testing its adaptability to different countries. It then concludes on whether regulation really did play a pivotal role in the resilience or it was based on other conditions and circumstances.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

This transition process has also affected the role of salespeople in terms of shifting their role from product sales orientation towards business solutions orientation. The greatest challenge to be addressed is to move away from the product orientated sales process and to instead concentrate on the value selling process, based on offering the impactful value of business solutions which can improve customers¿ business processes. This is why value added sales or value selling strategy is of crucial importance as well as spatial proximity to customers in order to nurture and develop relationship.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -To fully understand the role of the book in today¿s culture, I will also be looking at the context into which the printed book was born. Described, as ¿more than a triumph of technological ingenuity¿ the implications of the book throughout history are huge, ¿[the book] was one of the most potent agents at the disposal of western civilisation in bringing together the scattered ideas of representative thinkers.¿ (Febvre and Martin, 1976, pg.10). The implications of the printed book throughout history are evident through the evolution of the spreading of knowledge. I plan to investigate how much further the book¿s reach goes, examining it as a social object, and an agent of change. In an ever-changing world, examining the role of the book when digital media has allowed information to be more accessible than ever before will provide us with a chance to view the book in its changing form.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world has been tired of seeing limitless wars and conflicts what result in mere tears and blood. History suggests that men play the protagonist role in most of the conflicts, women bear the brunt. We now tempt to taste alternatively. The study has focused on the issue of women¿s role in conflict resolution and peacemaking based on a conflict laden area of Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. In 1997, the government of Bangladesh reached a peace accord with the insurgent groups to halt the long-standing conflict. But no substantial change has been seen from the accord that was brokered exclusively by men. The study delved into the question that if women actively participate in formal conflict resolution process the level of conflict would not be so severe because they have long been doing this in the familial and community level. The study mainly on the indigenous women in CHT found some significant evidence that women are already in the process, directly or indirectly but they need recognition and proper support for further progress. We must address the gender dimension and gender blindness of conflict resolution.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -For many years Denmark has been one of the leading foreign investors in Lithuania and it continues to be amongst the key countries that Lithuania is willing to cooperate with going forward, by supporting the existing MNEs and attracting new FDI. Sadly, very few researchers have been interested in analyzing the patterns of FDI in Lithuania. For this reason there is little knowledge on how foreign investors perceive Lithuania, why they choose to invest there and what problems they face in this country. The aim of this work is to analyze the patterns of Danish FDI in Lithuania and answer a question: ¿why do Danish companies choose Lithuania for their foreign direct investment projects and what are the main problems that Danish firms come across when doing business in this country ¿ This research analyses 55 Danish companies in 10 industries, which engaged in foreign direct investment projects in Lithuania during 1990-2009.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The goal of this Master's Thesis is to explain the determinants and implications of corruption phenomenon. With this intention, initially, it reviews the literature on corruption. Then, it develops an empirical study which tries to test three theoretical assumptions which are: the impact of corruption on economic growth; the contribution of corruption¿s transmission channels; the effect of corruption on the composition of government expenditures. Panel data, relative to twenty-three OECD countries, then to thirty-five ones, with random and GLS estimators are used. In addition, for a question of reliability and robustness of the results, cross-country regressions are also implemented. At the conclusion of various tests, it is clearly highlighted that the empirical results perfectly corroborate the theories. Thus, it appears that corruption reduces economic growth. This influence is made possible thanks to certain determinant variables. In addition, corruption has also an impact on the composition and the level of public expenditures.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The establishment of the European Union provided the working population with the legal right for mobility. However as the figures from Eurostat show, just the legal right is not enough to support a labor mobility decision, the decision needs to be supported and supplemented with other factors at influence of the labor mobility decision. This research aims at finding out the factors supporting the ultimate labor mobility decision and finding out what factors might negatively influence the labor mobility decision. The decision to commute is supported by individual motives, structural factors and the network effects. These factors are withdrawn from the framework set by Stalker (1994, 2008). Despite the fact that the critical claims for mobility are fulfilled labor mobility figures between Germany and the Netherlands are still low. This makes achieving the Lisbon Strategy of 2000, aimed at making the EU the most competitive economy in the world very difficult. In order to make free movement of persons factual, and create a strong and thriving Europe, one should look at lifting barriers and constraints currently in place.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

The estimated value of the coefficients, given the chosen monetary targets, will also help us characterise whether the Bank of England was more or less active according to the Taylor rule framework. In addition, attempt will be made to explain whether the empirical results are expected or not, according to the observed monetary regime. Moreover, this analysis compares the results of the different estimation techniques used to identify the sensitivity of the central bank on inflation and output gap and lastly we discuss the relative appropriateness of each technique given their underlying assumptions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Transport sector is considered as a spine of trade and economy.

It¿s not just an economic relationship, but also an emotional bonding which ensures timely transfer of goods across the length and breadth of country. In India, the transport sector comprises of large percentage of population who owns and operates transport business for their daily sustenance at very less operating profit. Indian markets are highly dependent on the services provided by the small and medium transporters. The services of small and medium transporters ensure supply of goods at local markets at reasonable price. Government of India, in its advocacy of foreign direct investment in retail sector, stressed that foreign investors will heavily invest in modernization of transport sector in order to facilitate trade.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on how the risk rating of a country may help to assess its corruption level. I¿ve investigated and compared country risk and corruption levels in two dynamic European transitional countries, namely Poland and the Czech Republic. A data analysis shows which country risk indicator better tracks the overall corruption level in the ECA region: the best agency out of five ( Fitch, Moody¿s, S&P¿s, EIU, ICRG) predicting better corruption within its country risk index ,in the period 2002-2005, results to be Fitch. I¿ve found that country risk, as measured by risk ratings, deteriorates as corruption increases.It follows from my estimates that an increase in country risk rating by a full rating category (i.e from BBB to A) has led to a raise of the overall corruption index by 2,574 unit which can be considered quite an high amount as the corruption scores of most central European transitional countries show a slighter difference among them.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

This book primarily explains the concept of word of mouth marketing and then statistically explores the mechanism of word of mouth within the chosen industrial context by surveying Iranian customers. Finally, the findings of this study suggest some managerial implications and points which are elaborated in the report. Surprisingly, this research reveals that, ordinary advertisement and TV commercials fail to affect customers in this industry and thus, people seek more reliable sources of information in which 'WOM' proves to be a significant way to affect the consumers¿ behavior in the photo print industry market in Iran. Subsequently, friends were found to be the most trusted source together with price impacting shopping behavior significantly. The study also illustrates that quality of products and services is somewhat equally distributed and therefore, quality does not necessarily count as a 'WOM' factor.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.
