Ordnungspolitische Massnahmen loesen vielfaltige Anpassungsreaktionen der Marktakteure aus. Es fehlt jedoch ein einheitliches und standardisiertes Bewertungsverfahren, um die Dynamik und Anpassungen auf Markten zu ermitteln und zu beurteilen. Das Forschungsziel der Arbeit ist die Entwicklung eines Verfahrens fur die gesamtwirtschaftliche Bewertung der Marktwirkungen von ordnungspolitischen Massnahmen. Analytischer Ausgangspunkt ist die Industrieoekonomik, mit der der Wirkungszusammenhang von Marktstruktur, -verhalten und -ergebnis realitatsnah abgebildet werden kann. Um die Marktdynamik, Interdependenzen und Interaktionen zu erfassen, muss der industrieoekonomische Ansatz um eine system-dynamische Modellierung erweitert werden. Veranderungen des Marktsystems koennen damit unter Berucksichtigung aller Zusammenhange simultan ermittelt werden. Mit einem empirischen Anwendungsfall wird die Anwendbarkeit der system-dynamischen Modellierung demonstriert. Kleine und mittelstandische Unternehmen sind einem hohen Anpassungsdruck ausgesetzt, weil sie nur einen geringen Einfluss gegenuber der Politik haben. Als Beispiel fur einen mittelstandisch strukturierten Markt wird daher der Strassenguterverkehr gewahlt. Ordnungspolitische Eingriffe haben auf diesem Markt zudem weitergehende gesamtwirtschaftliche Auswirkungen, da es sich um einen Vorleistungsmarkt handelt. Fur Lkw-Maut und Unterinvestitionen in die Strasseninfrastruktur werden die Wirkungen auf die Marktdynamik und die Marktanpassungen im Strassenguterverkehr system-dynamisch modelliert. Es werden Aussagen zu folgenden Marktindikatoren getroffen: Fahrleistungen, Fahrzeugauslastung, Entwicklung des Verkehrsleistungsangebots, Marktanteile, Beschaftigtenzahl und Gewinne. Aufgrund des anwendungsorientierten Ansatzes leistet das Buch nicht nur einen Beitrag fur die industrieoekonomische und system-dynamische Forschungsrichtung, sondern es richtet sich auch an Entscheidungstrager in Unternehmen und in der Politik.

Focuses on the changing role of distribution in the nation's economy during the period 1869 to 1950.

In his 1985 book, Competitive Advantage, Michael Porter introduced the concept of the value chain and described it as "a systematic way of examining all activities a firm performs and how they interact, (necessary) for analyzing the sources of competitive advantage," and introduced the idea of "linkages," which was the real breakthrough in management thinking. Thinking of a firm as a series of horizontal and vertical linkages put the spotlight on the silo mentality within which firms operated and how business schools structured curriculum. The silo mentality caused business students unable to see the firm as a holistic entity, an understanding of how all of its parts fit together to develop competitive advantage. Students graduating with a silo mentality perpetuated the silo mentality in business firms. This book draws together existing knowledge to help facilitate the shift of mind necessary to effectively manage the value chain, and introduces a new conception of the value chain, one that has been copyrighted (2006) and provides a new perspective of the value chain commensurate with the demands of the 21st-century global economy.

Data warehousing is about transforming the data which an organization possesses and turning it into information of strategic significance.
