This judicious selection of recent essays demonstrates the applicability of the fundamental principles of neo-Schumpeterian economics, namely, innovation and uncertainty. The authors demonstrate how neo-Schumpeterian economics is developing into a comprehensive economic theory encompassing industry, the public sector and financial markets. Neo-Schumpeterian economics has become a prolific field with a major orientation towards innovation-driven industrial dynamics. However, a truly comprehensive neo-Schumpeterian approach argues that innovation is also an important element in both the public and financial sectors. For example, a lack of public infrastructure or speculative bubbles in financial markets can hinder or even prevent economic development. The expert contributions to this book deal with the future orientation of the subject in terms of innovative performance in the industrial, financial and public sectors. Recent Advances in Neo-Schumpeterian Economics can be considered a first attempt to substantiate the comprehensive neo-Schumpeterian approach, of which Horst Hanusch has been a leading proponent. This unique and path-breaking book will be of great interest and value to researchers in the fields of innovation, industrial economics, financial markets and the public sector.

This is an innovative account of how the concept of comradeship shaped the actions, emotions and ideas of ordinary German soldiers across the two world wars and during the Holocaust. Using individual soldiers' diaries, personal letters and memoirs, Kuhne reveals the ways in which soldiers' longing for community, and the practice of male bonding and togetherness, sustained the Third Reich's pursuit of war and genocide. Comradeship fuelled the soldiers' fighting morale. It also propelled these soldiers forward into war crimes and acts of mass murders. Yet, by practising comradeship, the soldiers could maintain the myth that they were morally sacrosanct. Post-1945, the notion of kameradschaft as the epitome of humane and egalitarian solidarity allowed Hitler's soldiers to join the euphoria for peace and democracy in the Federal Republic, finally shaping popular memories of the war through the end of the twentieth century.

The book assembles case studies on the human dimension of the Holocaust as illuminated in the academic work of preeminent Holocaust scholar Deborah Dwork, the founding director of the Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, home of the first doctoral program focusing solely on the Holocaust and other genocides. Written by fourteen of her former doctoral students, its chapters explore how agency, a key category in recent Holocaust studies and the work of Dwork, works in a variety of different 'small' settings - such as a specific locale or region, an organization, or a group of individuals.

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 1,0, Avans+ Hogeschool B.V., Breda (Verwaltungs- und Wirtschaftsakademie, Krefeld), course: Bachelor of Business Administration, 93 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: First of all, the following chapter will deal with the framework of brand evaluation. To give an idea of the internet service provider Yahoo , the company will be introduced in the first part. The next part concentrates on the role an established brand plays and what effect it has. The following chapter will point out what it means to lead a brand and which value it has to a company. As a matter of course, the conclusions will be related to the special case of Yahoo . To provide a general survey of the topic of brand evaluation, the next chapter deals with the economical and judicial frame. It explains the situation within the topic of intangible assets and their special treatment concerning the balance sheet. In Chapter 2.4.2 the different causes for brand evaluation will be described and the cause of acquisition will be determined as the appropriate cause for the present case of Yahoo . Chapter 2.5 concentrates on the necessary requirements for a sufficient and objective brand evaluation, especially in the case of acquisition. Before three of the most important and established methods of brand evaluation will be analysed, the large number of all current methods have to be categorised. For that reason the third chapter will start with the classification of methods. After regarding the three possible categories, the last part will come to the decision for just one category, which comes into question for the present case.(...) After these three analyses, it is possible to overlook the whole topic of brand evaluation. Chapter 2.5 defines the general requirements for an objective method of brand evaluation. The foll

Scholarly Research Paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: -, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This assignment contemplates the discussion about the present conflict for the Arctic region, including the applicants' claims for Arctic natural resources. The major focus of this work therefore is, as mentioned in the assignment's subject, analysing the 'battle for natural resources' as well as the impact for the involved economies. During the investigation it was determined that experts of different scientific institutions do not come to the consensus about the available amount of raw materials, especially oil and gas, which are focused in this paper. Due to the scarcity of depletable resources their importance increases and with it the run for the Arctic and its treasures. Although the amount of these resources in relation to the known sources is assumed to be low, every new discovered deposit is of great importance for the potential owner and for the world economy. As the Arctic is located in the high seas, there is currently no existing legislation for the case of claiming the present resources except the admiralty law. Generally, this is a unique case in world history. Among the applicants for the different regions of the Arctic there are several conflicts about the exact borderlines.

This collection brings together a number of cutting edge Holocaust histories written by younger scholars and includes an introduction reflecting on the role of 'the local' in Holocaust studies. In doing so, the book emphasizes seeking local answers to global questions on the origins of genocide. As such, it mirrors the tendency in Holocaust Studies to draw a picture - on a very local canvas - of how the Holocaust developed. The contributions offer new and detailed empirical investigations of the Holocaust from across occupied Europe - from 'aryanization policy' in Bucharest to the role of the indigenous population in the Hungarian countryside, right up to a consideration of the operation of Holocaust memory in contemporary Poland. The Holocaust and Local History demonstrates the enduring vibrancy of contemporary Holocaust studies.

Das Buch bietet eine Einfuhrung in die wichtigsten Methoden der Flugkoerperlenkung. Im Rahmen eines historischen Abrisses wird die Frage geklart, was uberhaupt unter einem Lenkflugkoerper zu verstehen ist. Es folgen Grundbegriffe und Definitionen wie z.B. die der erforderlichen Koordinatensysteme. Die Einbettung des Systems Lenkung in das Gesamtsystem Flugkoerper wird beschrieben. Die wichtigsten Lenkverfahren sind die Proportionalnavigation, die Zieldeckungslenkung und die Raketenlenkung auf der Basis des Required-Velocity-Konzeptes. Jedem der drei Verfahren ist jeweils ein Kapitel gewidmet. Unter der UEberschrift "Realisierungsaspekte" geht es um die praktische Umsetzung der Lenkverfahren. Auf oberster Ebene bewerkstelligt die Missionssteuerung das Umschalten in die verschiedenen Phasen der Flugbahn. Zur Auswertung eines Lenkgesetzes muss die Relativgeometrie Flugkoerper / Ziel erfasst bzw. geschatzt werden. Dazu gibt es verschiedene Suchkopftechnologien bzw. Schatzverfahren (Kalman-Filter). Fast alle beschriebenen Methoden werden mit Simulationsergebnissen mit einem einfachen Flugkoerpermodell veranschaulicht.

Mithilfe von Sekundaranalysen qualitativer Interviews - gefuhrt zwischen Ende der 1980er und Anfang der 2000er Jahre - analysieren die Autor*innen, wie sich gesellschaftliche Prozesse in der Arbeitswelt, im Geschlechterverhaltnis sowie Einflussen von Individualisierung, Aktivierung und Selbstoptimierung in der Konstruktion des Selbst niedergeschlagen. Erzahlungen uber Arbeit, Beziehung und Lebensfuhrung verbinden die Autor*innen mit soziologischen und sozialpsychologischen Ansatzen zu Identitats- und Subjektkonstruktionen. Dabei zeigen sie, wie der Kampf um Anerkennung, Autonomie und Authentizitat, wie Zeitnutzungsdiskurse sowie Mannlichkeits- und Weiblichkeitskonstruktionen das Alltagsleben und Lebensentscheidungen formen - stets im Spannungsfeld zwischen Unterordnung und Selbstermachtigung. Kritisch wird untersucht, wie Identitats- und Subjektkonstruktionen mit der (Re)Produktion und (De)Legitimation sozialer Ungleichheitsverhaltnisse zusammenhangen.
