Over the past years, knowledge-intensive industries have gained significant importance as economic factor, giving rise to professional service firms (PSFs) such as law firms, accounting firms, or consultancies. Following this development, the research interest especially in the strategies pursued by PSFs has grown substantially. However, past research focused mainly on strategies of established, mature PSFs, leaving academics as well as potential entrepreneurs without guidance on what newly founded, entrepreneurial PSFs should pay attention to in order to ensure lasting competitive advantages. Based on an explorative grounded theory analysis of two outstanding commercial law firm spin-offs in Germany, this work advances the research in this field. In addition to a detailed case study report, it offers a comprehensive theoretical framework and argues that PSFs have to employ a set of seven specific entrepreneurial strategies - including for example service delivery, people development, and client acquisition strategies - in order to successfully manage the entrepreneurial phase. In providing examples for the growing PSF industry, the findings on commercial law firm spin-offs also inform entrepreneurship research in other professions
(G. Heberer) Die Politisierung aller Bereiche unseres Lebens betrifft auch die Medizin, ganz besonders die in der Bundesrepublik unverantwortlich vemachliissigte Katastrophenmedizin. Ich glaube, daB die Zeit gekommen ist, der Katastro phenmedizin sine ira et studio den richtigen Platz und Stellenwert in unserem iirztlichen Denken einzuriiumen und absichtlichen oder unabsicht lichen Fehlinterpretationen unseres iirztlichen Auftrages im Zusammenhang mit der Katastrophenmedizin entgegenzutreten. Politisierung und Emotio nalisierung haben in der Vergangenheit niemals Fortschritte in der iirztli chen Leistung beWirkt. In ungleich hOherem MaBe wie bei der Notfallmedizin, wird die Oberle bensprognose von Katastrophenopfem von Organisation, Art und Ge schwindigkeit der SofortmaBnahmen, Transportmoglichkeiten und Lei stungsfahigkeit der Krankenhiiuser bestimmt. Katastrophenmedizin ist Massenmedizin. Sie hat die Aufgabe. das Bestmogliche fiir die groBte Zahl zur rechten Zeit am rechten Ort zu tun. Daraus geht hervor, daB unter Katastrophenbedingungen eben nicht mehr das Optimum fiir jeden einzel nen Verletzten geleistet werden kann, sondem das Bestmogliche fiir die groBte Zahl. Katastrophenmedizin muB groBriiumig, iiberregional, liinger fristig arbeiten. Sie benotigt zahlreiche Behandlungseinrichtungen und meh rere Behandlungsstufen auf verschiedenen Ebenen. I?eshalb bedarf sie einer straffen, den Behandlungseinrichtungen und -stufen iibergeordnete iirztliche Leitung, urn erste Laienhilfe, erste iirztliche Hilfe, Transport, fachiirztliche und Krankenhausbehandlung moglichst effektiv einsetzen, d. h. koordinie ren zu konnen. Damit verlangt die optimale Versorgung von Kl\. tastrophen opfem vom Arzt neben den Kenntnissen der organisatorisch-technischen Seite auch eine entsprechende medizinische Aus-und Fortbildung. Nur die elektiv, am einzelnen Patienten erworbenen Kenntnisse konnen auch unter Katastrophenbedingungen erbracht werden.
Heterogeneous catalysis is a chemistry term which describes catalysis where the catalyst is in a different phase (ie. solid, liquid and gas, but also oil and water) to the reactants. Heterogeneous catalysts provide a surface for the chemical reaction to take place on. In order for the reaction to occur, one or more of the reactants must diffuse to the catalyst surface and adsorb onto it. After reaction, the products must desorb from the surface and diffuse away from the solid surface. Frequently, this transport of reactants and products from one phase to another plays a dominant role in limiting the reaction rate. Understanding these transport phenomena and surface chemistry such as dispersion is an important area of heterogeneous catalyst research. Catalyst surface area may also be considered. Mesoporous silicates, for example, have found utility as catalysts because their surface areas may be in excess of 1000 m2/g, which increases the probability that a reactant molecule in solution will come in contact with the catalyst surface and adsorb. If diffusion rates are not taken into account, the reaction rates for various reactions on surfaces depend solely on the rate constants and reactant concentrations. Asymmetric heterogeneous catalysis can be used to synthesise enantiomerically pure compounds using chiral heterogeneous catalysts.[1] The field is of great industrial and environmental importance
