Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hardly any other management concept is as overused as strategy, yet at the same time hardly any other concept is as vaguely defined. As a means of escaping the conceptual jumble, this monograph suggests a systems-theoretical definition which makes it possible to sort out the various threads of the strategy discussion. Strategies are search programs used for finding the means to achieve previously defined goals. With these, we let classical ideas about strategy confront modern organizational theory, and demonstrate how strategy development in organizations can look beyond purpose rational constraints.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This SpringerBrief examines emotions in the past through contemporary archaeological materials. The author explores this topic using the context of a former working-class neighbourhood in northern Finland that existed during the Cold War era (1947-1987). Finland offers an interesting context to examine this because of the twofold emotional frames; the Cold War and capitalism versus the nascent welfare state. The push and pull between the values emphasizing universal care and compassion against the hardline militarisation and financial competition results in accessing different and, sometimes, contradictory emotions. It also affords a gendered view into the past and such an angle could be attempted in the context of the deep past as well.This book offers several examples on how emotions could be accessed in the deep past and draws parallels between the examples from a contemporary 'western' country and various archaeological cultures and contexts. Emotions can be a bridge to access the secrets of human behavior. Such bridging is the core strength of archaeological education, but rarely are emotions acknowledged in the process. Lastly, this book underlines the role of emotions, specifically empathy, in archaeological education and in destabilizing contemporary political notions on social norms and contracts.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This open access book assesses the consequences of contemporary economic and political crises for intergovernmental relations in Europe. Focusing on the crises arising from the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change, surges in migration, and the resurgence of regional nationalist movements, it explores the shifting power balances within intergovernmental relations' systems. The book takes a comparative analytical perspective on how intergovernmental relations are changing across Europe, and how central governments have responded to coordination challenges as recent crises have disrupted established service delivery chains and their underpinning political and bureaucratic arrangements. It also examines the relationship between recent crises and the sub-national resurgence of territorial politics in many European countries. The book will appeal to those with interests in public administration, sub-national governance and European politics.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 216 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The book explores the design, production and construction processes of the multi-layer façade systems towards the principles of environmental and energy sustainability through the drafting of an explanatory and operative reference instrument. The work provides the planning of a technical guide, focusing on the executive design and construction methodologies. The scientific basis of the research implies the definition of the main functional typologies, established on the analysis conducted on the experimental case studies, with the aim of achieving a codification of the performance and executive potentialities. The development of the book as a technical guide on the multi-layer façade systems involves the possibilities of technology transfer towards different building types and intended uses, with the aim of increasing hygro-thermal, lighting and acoustic performance through the application of technical skins, devices and integrated screens on the external enclosures. Moreover, the book explains the modes of technology transfer through the use of standard and non-customized products, so as to improve the diffusion in the production and construction of mass-produced systems and components.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This open-access book presents a socio-legal analysis of immediate responses to large-scale refugee displacement in Europe after the 1951 Refugee Convention came into force, focusing on the countries to which refugees initially fled or through which they passed (namely Austria and, initially, Yugoslavia, followed by several of the former Yugoslav countries). First, it investigates the immediate responses to refugee movements following the suppression of the 1956 Hungarian Revolution by Soviet troops. Second, it examines the responses to individuals seeking asylum after being displaced during the post-Yugoslav wars of the 1990s. Third, it analyses the responses of the same countries to refugees fleeing Global South countries (predominantly Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan) in 2015 and 2016. Finally, it explores how these countries responded to the mass displacement of refugees from Ukraine. The book argues that these countries have positioned themselves as transit or temporary protection countries in order to avoid assuming long-term responsibility for a larger number of refugees. As a consequence, they granted various forms of temporary legal status to refugees that differed from the refugee status defined in the 1951 Refugee Convention. These legal statuses were hierarchical (in terms of the rights attached to them) and racialized, with the fewest rights granted to refugees from the Global South and other negatively racialized groups. The book traces the usage of self-serving politics of diversity and selective memory to legitimise why refugees could not be protected long-term in these countries, and also why there were such differences in treatment of refugees.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This open access book provides a unique way of documenting traditional Sámi knowledge that has survived almost 300 years followed by today s analysis of the modern state of Sámi reindeer husbandry. Reindeer herders knowledge, their language and ways of managing the herds have hardly changed over the past centuries. It is the same ancient knowledge that now forms the basis for how reindeer herders think and carry out their operations. The book shows sustainable reindeer husbandry with long continuity in knowledge and practices which is still used today. It gives an overview of the knowledge systems and technical language of an ancient industry that has survived through millennia and is still crucial today.Our vision with this book is to highlight the long perspectives of Sámi reindeer herders indigenous knowledge based on what Knud Leem did at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The content is based on Knud Leem's translated version of Description over Finmarkens Lapper, their language of language, lifestyle and past idolatry.There is a direct need for this unique material to be published in English to provide access to the knowledge of the time to a wider audience. In the rest of the world, the eighteenth century is getting more and more attention in both national and international research: it is in this period that modern ways of thinking about religion, politics, science, and society find their form. Movements and ideas from the eighteenth century are important as they structure our ideas and discussions to this day. Therefore, Knud Leem's descriptions of the Sámi in the eighteenth century will also be important today and in future. Leem was a unique researcher of his time as he collected all material in Sámi.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book examines the relationship between EU energy politics and the law of the World Trade Organization (WTO), focusing on how the EU's Internal Energy Market can be promoted and protected in a way that is consistent with the requirements of WTO law. The need for a significant reorientation of the EU foreign policy, including its trade and energy policy, has become apparent in today's rapidly changing geopolitical context. Many states are responding to this situation by seeking to increase their "strategic sovereignty". In the EU, this reorientation is taking place under the leitmotivs of "strategic autonomy" in its foreign affairs and "open strategic autonomy" in the EU's external trade context. Given that the many current geopolitical shifts also affect the international energy landscape, it has been argued that the EU needs to increase its autonomy in the field of energy policy. As the EU's Internal Energy Market is central to this, it needs to be protected from undue foreign influence. In this respect, three horizontal unilateral tools that are part of the EU's strategy of open strategic autonomy have been considered essential in relevant academic studies: the EU Investment Screening Regulation, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the EU Foreign Subsidies Regulation. This study shows that while it is strategically imperative to protect the Internal Energy Market from undue foreign influence, it is difficult to achieve this objective in a WTO-compatible manner on the basis of the unilateral measures adopted by the EU.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 83 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This self-contained textbook, now in a thoroughly revised and expanded second edition, takes a matrix-oriented approach to Linear Algebra. It presents a complete theory, including all details and proofs, culminating in the Jordan canonical form and its derivation. Throughout, the book emphasizes the practical applicability of results. It therefore also covers special topics in Applied Linear Algebra, such as matrix functions, the singular value decomposition, the Kronecker product, and linear matrix equations. New to this edition are topics such as the Frobenius canonical form and a more detailed treatment of infinite-dimensional vector spaces, along with many additional exercises.The book s matrix-oriented approach enhances intuition and simplifies abstract concepts, making them easierto understand and to apply in real-world scenarios. Key applications are illustrated through detailed examples. Additionally, several 'MATLAB Minutes' allow students to explore concepts and results through computational experiments, supported by a brief introduction to MATLAB fundamentals.
