This book analyzes the effects of power generated by renewable
energy sources, renewable energy production technologies, energy
efficiency, and market regulation of carbon emissions. It
elaborates on how these parameters have direct and indirect effects
on carbon emission reduction, such as the results of an
environmental tax that could directly reduce carbon emissions by
decreasing fossil fuel consumption or by stimulating energy savings
through technological innovation, as well as how renewable energy
sources can affect both economic growth and the environment. In
addition to a detailed analysis of the interrelationships between
renewable energy consumption, production technology, and market
regulation, The Development of Renewable Energy Sources and its
Significance for the Environment proposes a model for measuring the
effectiveness and results of the interaction between these links.
Furthermore, a structure for a marketplace of renewable energy
sources is put forward, as well as an outline of the requirements
that must be met in order for this market to function. Suitable
policy recommendations to enhance the market for renewable energies
are also provided.

Collective intelligence has become an attractive subject of
interest for both academia and industry. More and more conferences
and workshops discuss the impact of the users' motivation to
participate in the value creation process, the enabling role of
leading-edge information and communication technologies and the
need for better algorithms to deal with the growing amount of
shared data. There are many interesting and challenging topics that
need to be researched and discussed with respect to knowledge
creation, creativity and innovation processes carried forward in
the emerging communities of practice.
COLLIN is on the path to become the flagship conference in the
areas of collective intelligence and ICT-enabled social networking.
We were delighted to again receive contributions from different
parts of the world including Australia, Europe, Asia, and the
United States. Encouraged by the positive response, we plan COLLIN
2012 to be held next year end of August at FernUniverstitat in
Hagen.
In order to guarantee the quality of the event, each paper went
through a doubleblind review process. The reviews concentrated on
originality, quality and relevance of the paper topic to the
symposium. In addition, we invited a few renowned experts in the
field to contribute to the success of the symposium with
outstanding papers reporting on their most recent research. Our
special thanks go to the authors for submitting their papers, to
the international program committee members, and to numerous
reviewers who did an excellent job in guaranteeing that the papers
in this volume are of very high quality."
In 57 realen Fallstudien werden die vielfachen Facetten der
internationalen Unternehmenstatigkeit vorgestellt. Die didaktisch
geschickt aufbereiteten Fallstudien decken die zentralen Bereiche
des Internationalen Managements ab. Zu jeder Fallstudie gehoren
neben der Problembeschreibung konkrete Fragen mit Losungshinweisen.
In der 4. Auflage wurden zahlreiche Fallstudien durch neue und
aktuelle Case Studies ersetzt; die verbleibenden wurden vollstandig
uberarbeitet. Um die zunehmenden englischsprachigen Vorlesungen im
Fach Internationales Management zu unterstutzen, sind in der 4.
Auflage etwa die Halfte der Fallstudien in englischer Sprache.
