For years, businesses have complained about the costs of
regulatory compliance. On the other hand, society is becoming
increasingly aware of the environmental, safety, health, financial,
and other risks of business activity. Government oversight seems to
be one of the answers to safeguard against these risks. But how can
we deregulate and regulate without jeopardizing our public goals or
acting as a brake on economic growth? Many instruments are
available to assess the effects of laws regulating business,
including the regulatory impact assessment (RIA), which contains
cost/benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, risk analysis,
and cost assessments. This book argues that public goals will be
achieved more effectively if compliance costs of the enterprises
are as low as possible. Highlighting examples from a wide spectrum
of industries and countries, the authors propose a new kind of RIA,
the business impact assessment (BIA), designed to improve both
business and public policy decision making.

Soils interact with the biological environment in a number of ways.
Our understanding of these interactions can often be enhanced by
computer modelling. The primary function of this book is to
introduce basic modelling skills and to show how even complex
problems in the relationship between soil and the biosphere can be
solved using modelling packages. The author presents numerous
examples using ModelMaker, an easily learnt software package. Only
basic mathematical skills are expected of the reader. A demo of
ModelMaker is available on CD from Cherwell Scientific.
Unternehmens-OEkosysteme ("Business Ecosystems") entfalten derzeit
ihre transformative Wirkung auf viele etablierte Bereiche der
Wirtschaft. Angesichts dieser Entwicklung besitzt das Verstandnis
dafur, wie sich solche Wertschoepfungsnetzwerke aufbauen und
orchestrieren lassen, nicht nur in theoretischer, sondern vor allem
auch in praktischer Hinsicht eine grosse Bedeutung. Denn
Unternehmens-OEkosysteme stellen ein Instrument dar, um spezifische
und komplexe Kundenbedurfnisse auf kooperative Weise in in
uberlegener, nutzenstiftender Form zu befriedigen. Dieses Buch
bietet einen integrierenden Rahmen fur das Verstandnis des Konzepts
(plattformbasierter) Unternehmens-OEkosysteme. Es analysiert Wesen
und Zweck von OEkosystemen, legt dar, wann der Aufbau von
OEkosystemen eine sinnvolle Strategie darstellt und beschreibt im
Sinne praktischer Handlungsanregungen die Grundlagen, wie sich
OEkosysteme erfolgreich gestalten und nachhaltig entwickeln lassen.

Beim Erscheinen dieses Buches ist es zehn Jahre her, seit uns die
Meldungen eines Reaktorunfalles in der Ukraine, einer
Chemiegrosskatastrophe bei Basel und die Explosion eines
US-Raumschiffes aufhorchen liessen., Tschernobyl', Schweizerhalle'
und, Challenger' forderten uns zu einer vertieften Beschaf tigung
mit dem Technikthema heraus. Seit sieben Jahren haben wir nun
explizit Technik im Kopf, arbeiten wir auf wechselnden Schauplatzen
an einer adaquaten Antwort auf das Unfassba re, das mit der
technischen Entwicklung entstanden ist und entsteht. Diese Antwort
muss von unserem formulierten Anspruch her sowohl eine soziologi
sche wie auch ein gesellschaftspolitische sein. 1989 haben wir
dieses An liegen erstmals ausgefuhrt: "Die Menschen sollen in
umfassender und direkter Weise mit der Radikalitat der ak tuellen
Situation konfrontiert werden. Sie sollen erkennen, in welche
sozialen Struk turen und historischen Entwicklungen sie eingebettet
sind, in was fur Abhangigkeiten sie sich bewegen. Welche
gesellschaftlichen Neuerungen drangen sich angesichts der
technischen Revolutionen auf? Wo gilt es anzusetzen?'" Der erste
Schauplatz war die Nationale Forschungsausstellung Heureka, wel che
im Sommer 1991 in Zurich stattfand. Auf der Grundlage unseres im
Verlauf des Studiums gesammelten Verstandnis von Soziologie, von
sozio logischer Technikliteratur, von biologischem
Grundlagenwissen, von Bu chern und aktuellen Zeitungsartikeln zu
Neuen Technologien entwickelten wir eine soziologische
Begrifflichkeit zu Technologie und im speziellen zu den Gen- und
Fortpflanzungstechnologien. Diese Begrifflichkeit bildete die Basis
fur die inhaltliche und formale Gestaltung des
Ausstellungsbeitrages mit dem Titel Der gesellschaftliche Umgang
mit Gen- und Fortpjlanzungs technologien."

Scholarly Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Communications -
Multimedia, Internet, New Technologies, grade: A, The University of
Surrey, language: English, abstract: This paper aims to present a
critical and evaluative analysis on the emergence and principles of
social media marketing and its true potential to enhance an
organisation's marketing efforts. In particular, it outlines the
shift in consumer power, influence and behaviour over the last few
decades, the development and contemporary notions of
relationship-oriented marketing and the contribution of social
media in all these processes. Furthermore, the paper deals with the
concept of customer relationship management, applicable online
marketing techniques and the way social media can be integrated in
an organisation's marketing activities in terms of customer
acquisition, retention and extension. Notions of the potential of
social media marketing in the hotel industry are set in context
with online marketing best practice and theoretical assumptions to
identify possible contradictions and knowledge gaps.

Note: A, The University of Surrey, Veranstaltung: Business
Strategy, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This report conducts a
competitive analysis of Europe's leading low-cost carrier Ryanair.
For this purpose, various concepts and frameworks of the strategic
paradigm are applied, such as Michael Porter's Five Forces and
Value Chain Analysis, SWOT or Resource-Based View. When it comes to
Ryanair's external environment the report provides extensive
information on the external factors that are having a significant
impact on Ryanair's low-cost strategy and its economic viability.
For example, it takes into account recent global incidents, such as
the volcanic eruption in Island or the public turmoil in Libya.
Furthermore, based on the competitive analysis recommendations are
made on Ryanair's future direction and as to how it can sustain and
extend its strategic position. In particular, this part deals with
strategic human resource management, corporate social
responsibility, lean thinking and diversification. Due to the
complexity of the aspects covered in this report and the need to
clarify some of them more comprehensively, appendices are provided
to promote understanding.
