This book presents - for the first time in the English language -
the concept of systemic organization development and its use in
management and consultancy. It demonstrates in a succinct and
compact way, how the systemic approach, in its up-to-date version,
is well suited to describe and handle complex challenges in diverse
organizations of all sectors of society. First, the authors sketch
out the crucial role organizations play today and the increasing
importance of their ability to change. The central theme of the
book is thus the design of organizational change processes with the
help of different tools. These tools deal cautiously with
employees, clients and cooperation partners in order to ensure
sustainable success of an organization. In the final chapters the
authors delve into specific attitudes during the change process,
such as the building of trust and the allowing of emotions. Several
cases illustrate how the concept and the tools promote
organizational development. The book well provides a practical
guideline. Additionally, the book talks about important aspects
managers have to pay attention to, such as dealing with concerns
and resistance. The values of the systemic concept like
sustainability, selective participation and growth from inside are
convincingly exemplified. The book is theoretically sound and
grounded by the authors' long management and consulting experience
and their research activities with the university background. It is
addressed mainly at actors in corporations, not-for-profit and
public organizations, who's task it is to organize, design and
effectuate change while the daily business continues alongside.
These actors may be leaders, managers, experts, consultants,
project managers or employees.
In the series of International Winter Schools on New Developments
in Solid State Physics, the fourth one was devoted to the subject:
"Two- Dimensional Systems: Physics and Devices". For the second
time the pro- ceedings of one of these Winter Schools appear as a
volume in the Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences (the earlier
proceedings were published as Vol. 53). The school was held in the
castle of MauterndorfjSalzburg (Austria) February 24-28, 1986.
These proceedings contain contributions ba:sed on the thirty
invited lectures. The school was attended by 179 registered
participants (40% students), who came from western European
countries, the United States of America, Japan, the People's
Republic of China and Poland. As far as the subjects are conterned,
several papers deal with the growth and characterization of
heterostructures. Dynamical RHEED tech- niques are described as a
tool for in situ studies of MBE growth mech- anisms. Various growth
techniques, including MBE, MOMBE, MOCVD and modifications of these,
are discussed. The limiting fa.ctors for the carrier mobilities and
the inftuence of the spacer thickness in single het- erostructures
of GaAs/GaAIAs seem to be understood and are no longer a matter of
controversy. In addition, the growth of two fascinating systems,
Si/SiGe and Hg _ Cd Te/CdTe, is discussed in detail.
The winter school on Localization and Confinement of Electrons in
Semicon ductors was the sixth of a series dealing with new
developments in solid state physics organized by the Austrian
Physical Society. The school, which was held in the castle of
Mautemdorf, in the federal province of Salzburg, Austria, February
19-23, 1990, was attended by about 200 participants. This is the
fourth such winter school to have the proceedings published in the
Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, the earlier ones appearing
as Vols. 53, 67 and 83. The contributions of the invited speakers
are arranged in seven parts according to topic: quantum boxes and
quantum wires; localization and the metal-insulator transition; the
integer and fractional quantum Hall effects and electron-electron
interactions; tunneling and localization in low-dimensional
structures and superlattices; optical properties of confined
systems; impurities in quantum well structures; and optical and
magnetic properties of dilute mag netic semiconductor quantum well.
structures. A particular intention of this book is to present
relevant introductory articles alongside the most recent research
reports, all written by experts in the fields of localization and
condensation of electrons in semiconductors, the quantum Hall
effect, lateral superlattices, ballistic transport, etc. The
fascinating subject of quantum boxes (dots) and quantum wires is
treated in considerable detail. Experimental techniques for
producing later ally structured two-dimensional electron gas
systems are described together with methods for studying their
electrical and optical properties."
The characterization of epitaxial layers and their surfaces has
benefitted a lot from the enormous progress of optical analysis
techniques during the last decade. In particular, the dramatic
improvement of the structural quality of semiconductor epilayers
and heterostructures results to a great deal from the level of
sophistication achieved with such analysis techniques. First of
all, optical techniques are nondestructive and their sensitivity
has been improved to such an extent that nowadays the epilayer
analysis can be performed on layers with thicknesses on the atomic
scale. Furthermore, the spatial and temporal resolution have been
pushed to such limits that real time observation of surface
processes during epitaxial growth is possible with techniques like
reflectance difference spectroscopy. Of course, optical
spectroscopies complement techniques based on the inter action of
electrons with matter, but whereas the latter usually require high
or ultrahigh vacuum conditions, the former ones can be applied in
different environments as well. This advantage could turn out
extremely important for a rather technological point of view, i.e.
for the surveillance of modern semiconductor processes. Despite the
large potential of techniques based on the interaction of
electromagnetic waves with surfaces and epilayers, optical
techniques are apparently moving only slowly into this area of
technology. One reason for this might be that some prejudices still
exist regarding their sensitivity."
Das Buch zeigt, wie mit Hilfe des Konzeptes "Baustein" moderne
Formen des Software-Engineering realisiert und dadurch u.a.
Componentware und Frameworks verstanden und entwickelt werden
konnen. Der Leser erfahrt, wie Baustein als generalisiertes Konzept
eine durchgangige Systematisierung unterschiedlicher Stufen und
verschiedener Realisierungsformen von Softwarekomponenten
ermoglicht. Damit wird eine in sich geschlossene Behandlung so
verschiedenartiger Komponenten wie Frameworks, Entwurfsmuster oder
Klassen, Entwurfskonstrukt, Quellcode oder Binarcode erreicht.
Grundzuge der Architekturen verbunden mit direkt nachvollziehbaren
Beispielen bringen Theorie und Praxis naher zusammen. Systematische
Konstruktion mittels Bausteinen unter objektorientierten
Bedingungen ist dabei die zentrale Idee. Ein kompaktes Lehrbuch fur
Studenten der Informatik und ein nutzliches Nachschlagewerk fur die
Praxis moderner Softwareentwicklung mit Anwendungen auch aus den
Bereichen Multimedia, Intra- und Internet."
