Die Struktur dieser Finanzprodukte wird jedoch zunehmend komplexer; die Beträge werden immer höher. Derivate wurden häufig als die großen Übeltäter identifiziert, die für viele der wohl bekanntesten Finanzkatastrophen, einschließlich der Barings Bank- und ERM Krise, verantwortlich waren.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This major new textbook explores the relations between gender and archaeology, providing an innovative and important account of how material culture is used in the construction of gender.

After introducing the debate about feminist or gender archaeology, Sorensen examines archaeology s concern with the sex/gender distinction, the nature of negotiation, and feminist epistemological claims in relation to archaeology. In Part Two, the author focuses on the materiality of gender, exploring it through case studies ranging from prehistory to contemporary society.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The past two decades have seen an increase in the number of organisations working together in multiagency settings and increased calls for partnership and participation in organisational and public life. Models for this kind of working arrangement range from contracting out and joint planning, through to more formal arrangements such as setting up a joint agency. How to make these arrangements effective in developing policy and aiding decision-making can, however, be problematic. To make the multiagency setting work, organisations must manage diversity, resolve conflict and promote collaboration. The processes for effective decision-making in multiagency settings form the central concern of this book. Group processes must become more participatory, democratic and empowering. Illustrated with case studies drawn from the US, Africa, Asia, Latin America, as well as the UK and Europe, the book surveys the range of multiagency settings, explores the mechanisms and processes for multiagency work, and reviews a range of processes and tools that have shown themselves to be effective. Partnership & Participation offers no guaranteed answers, but provides a useful framework and stimulating guidelines for those facing the many questions that are raised by working in a multiagency setting.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Unter Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) versteht man den Einsatz eines Softwaresystems, mit dessen Hilfe Manager die Ressourcen eines Unternehmens planen, erkennen und steuern können, wie z.B. Geld, Fertigungsbereiche, Lagerhaltung und Mitarbeiter. Bis zum Jahr 2003 soll das E-Business, d.h. der Kauf und Verkauf von Produkten und Dienstleistungen via Internet, etwa 1 Billion US Dollar ausmachen. Bislang haben die meisten Unternehmen Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) für die Gestaltung ihrer Websites benutzt. Doch EDI ist teuer, unflexibel, erlaubt nur ein begrenztes Datenvolumen und läßt den Kunden meistens unberücksichtigt. Mit dem ERP-System bietet sich Unternehmen eine erschwingliche und schnelle Methode für den Einstieg ins E-Business. 'ERP to E-Business' hilft Unternehmen, neue Geschäftsideen umzusetzen, die nicht nur Kosten einsparen, sondern das Unternehmen auch weitaus wettbewerbsfähiger machen.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The attachment bond that develops between infant and mother is the first of many intimate relationships we form throughout life, and as such it has been the focus of much research. But how does the quality of the secure base phenomena that defines this bond vary among individuals and across cultures What methods can be used to asses its presence and characteristics Following an interview with Mary S. Ainsworth, the originator of the concept of secure base, this new Monograph brings together eleven papers that consolidate our understanding of the empirical advances that have occurred in attachment research. The collection is organized into three sections. Part One includes papers on the generalizability of attachment theory and data, including cross-cultural research. Part Two addresses both normative and individual differences among mothers, children, caregivers, and their interactions--and methods for the valid assessment of these. Part Three examines the mental representations that children use to depict their different attachment relationships. Together these papers will stimulate child development specialists and students to explore different assessment methods and to move beyond current understandings of attachment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Previous experimental research has suggested that chimpanzees may understand some of the epitemological aspects of visual perception, such as how the perceptual act of seeing can have internal mental consequences for an individual's state of knowledge. Other research suggests that chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates may understand visual perception at a simpler level; that is, they may at least understand seeing as a mental event that subjectively anchors organisms to the external world. However, these results are ambiguous and are open to several interpretations. In this Monograph, we report the results of 15 studies that were conducted with chimpanzees and preschool children to explore their knowledge about visual perception.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This monograph studies research conducted for the purpose of investigating the growth of recognition vocabulary during the early and middle elementary school years in relation to the development of morphological knowledge. The children were tested on a selection of main entry words from a recent unabridged nonhistorical dictionary by means of definition, sentence, and multiple-choice questions. The focus of the present study, however, was on the contribution made by different morphologically defined word types and by knowledge of morphology and word formation to total recognition vocabulary at different age and grade levels. The findings suggest that lexical development can be characterized in terms of increasing morphological complexity. Further, it was found that the proportion of known complex words for which there was evidence that children figured them out by analyzing their morphological structure increased with age and grade.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Industrial or business-to-business marketing places very specific demands on those responsible for it. Yet all too often the strengths of these managers are technical, founded on expertise and product knowledge. There is seldom any formal understanding of marketing principles and the business benefits they can bring. In such conditions perspectives are narrowed, opportunities are missed, and marketing remains a functional support activity rather than a strategic resource. Building on a basis of recent Cranfield research and their own extensive work with experienced practising managers, Paul Millier and Roger Palmer have devised the perfect solution. A complete reference and toolkit for managers in the field, Nuts, Bolts and Magnetrons showcases a wealth of examples from European industry, and provides the information and guidance industrial marketers need to develop and prosper. Readers will learn how to be not only functionally efficient, but also effective, by managing relationships within and outside the firm. If you are involved in industrial marketing then you must be properly equipped. Blending insight, information, and inspiration in equal measure, this book offers all you need for success - the Nuts, Bolts and Magnetrons of modern marketing.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Forests, on the ground and in social theory, are now highly contested spaces, the arenas of struggles and conflicts, in which both trees and forest-dwellers frequently find themselves on the losing side. Focusing on the forests of Africa, Asia and Latin America, this volume highlights four dimensions: the array of ongoing conflicts and movements at the local level, involving a wide spectrum of stakeholders with diverse interests; the rise of wider national, regional and global concerns over the destruction of forests; debates over the use and abuse of Nature; and possible 'solutions' to the problems of forests and those who live in and depend upon them. The papers in the collection are based on recent field research, rich in detail and nuanced in interpretation. They call into question many received wisdoms, discovering unexpected twists and turns in forest paths, life cycles or landscape trajectories, and highlighting the complex articulations of local processes and global forces in tropical forest struggles.

This new thinking is emerging against the backdrop of constitutional restructuring in the UK and elsewhere as well as in the context of European Union developments.

This book seeks to engage with many of these.
