Sie sind auf der Suche nach der richtigen Geschäftsidee, oder sie haben schon einen ersten Ansatz, wissen aber nicht, wie sie ihre Idee umsetzen sollen? Das Buch gibt Ihnen Impulse und zeigt Möglichkeiten auf, wie Sie zündende Businessideen finden, ableiten und entwickeln können. Auslöser für Innovationen sind oft Gesetzesänderungen, gesellschaftliche Wandlungen, internationale Rahmenbedingungen oder besondere Ereignisse wie z.B. die Corona-Krise. Diese Herausforderungen sind häufig auch Chancen für neue Lösungen und Geschäftsmodelle. Darüber hinaus können interessante Ideen von erfolgreichen Unternehmen auf andere Branchen adaptiert werden oder auf Basis von Megatrends wie der Digitalisierung neue Geschäftsmodelle entstehen. Das Buch zeigt Ihnen anhand von Praxisbeispielen Vorgehensweisen und Businessmechanismen auf, wie sie in Kürze eine Vielzahl von Ideen entwickeln. Neben der Ideenfindung werden Vorgehensweisen zur Ideenbewertung und Priorisierung vorgestellt.

Formed 50 years ago, in 1961, the Peace Corps sends American volunteers to serve at the grassroots level in villages and towns across the globe to meet its three-point legislative mandate of promoting world peace and friendship by improving the lives of those they serve, helping others understand American culture, and sharing their experiences with Americans back home. To date, nearly 200,000 Peace Corps volunteers have served in 139 countries. This book examines the Peace Corps, with a focus on the problems of safety and security for its volunteers world-wide and the challenges facing the organisation to remain relevant and productive for the next fifty years.

Economic growth in all developing countries is guided, and often accelerated, by generally intrusive policies implemented by governments intent on playing an active role in furthering development. As economies have grown and become more complex, however, even small market distortions are magnified, and the tendency is to rely more heavily on the market for continued growth. In this volume, leading experts in economic development examine the variety of issues that arise as governments in some of the newly industrializing countries of Southeast Asia, such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore, grapple with this difficult process of liberalization. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1991.
