Changing Views of Business Marketing This book aims to provide an in-depth understanding of long-term busi in industrial markets. During the late 1980s our view ness relationships on business marketing changed remarkably. From a single-transaction oriented, market mechanism-based description of marketing and purchas ing, we are moving into domestic and international buyer-seller relation ships. In academic terms, we are experiencing a broadening of the para digms that describe how companies interact. This change in focus has its roots in the recognition that business marketing is frequently characterized by long-term interaction, coopera tion, and coalitions between participant firms. The forces of quality, total cost management, and the need to decrease response times in new prod uct/service development all are combining to accelerate the trend to wards strategic relationships. In increasingly global markets, different forms of strategic alliances provide ways of joining forces in attempts to reach goals beyond any single firm's resources. Also, our way of seeing the corporate environment is changing. In stead of the traditional view of markets or industries as constituted by independent companies operating mainly through market competition, we are starting to realize that markets can be more realistically defined and described as networks of interlinked organizations. The network view offers a highly promising tool for describing and analyzing the rapidly integrating global marketplace. For instance, strategic alliances can be seen as moves of establishing positions in a network or as ways of changing the whole network."

Dem Zeit alter der "Konstruktion" ist ein Zeitalter des "Betriebes" gefolgt. wirtschaftliche. zwanglaufig geregelte und Willkiir moglichst ausschlieBende Her. stellung hat die gleiche Bedeutung wie planmaBige Gestaltung erlangt. die zudem mehr als je von den Riicksichten auf wirtschaftlichste Herstellung beeinfluBt wird. Diese Richtung. die schon vor dem Kriege einsetzte. wurde infolge der Massenherstellung durch ungelemte Arbeiter wahrend des Krieges. durch die Nachkriegszeit mit ihren steigenden Lohnen und der schwierigen Rohstoffbe. schaffung bedeutend gefordert. Die" wissenschaftliche Betriebsfiihrung" hatte sich vor dem Kriege in groBerem Umfange als in Deutschland in Amerika eingeflihrt. wo sie unter der zum Schlag. wort gewordenen Bezeichnung: "scientific management" bekannt isL Jedoch befaBt sie sich dort hauptsachlich mit der Fertigung in der Werkstatt und deren Qrganisation. In Amerika hat diese Betriebsfiihrung das Geprage eines Landes erhalten. dessen Arbeiterverhaltnisse schwierig. dessen Rohstoffvorrate uner. schopflich sind. und sie ist dort durchaus imstande. den wichtigsten Anforderungen an den Betrieb zu entsprechen. In Deutschland hingegen ist auch die Rohstoffwirtschaft. deren Schwierig."

This study proposes a model for developing military strategy to achieve political objectives framed in state and/or human security principles. The author first identifies the need for analysis of state and human security due to the increasingly diverse nature of military operations since the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The author then categorizes state security political objectives as issues of state sovereignty and vital national interests while human security objectives derive from individual issues of life, liberty, and freedom of person. The author concludes that the binary nature of these security paradigms will affect development of military strategy. Next, the author presents a methodology for assessing the impact of state and human security on strategy. Three case studies examine the impact of the security paradigms on military strategy. By coupling the theoretical development of a strategy model with the methodological examination of the case studies, the author finds a positive linkage between state and human security objectives and the development of military strategy. The findings suggest military strategy for state security utilizes a prescriptive use of offensive force at a national level of engagement for a vital purpose. Conversely, a military strategy driven by human security objectives produces a defensive force structure and restrictive rules of engagement for a peripheral purpose at the sub-national level of engagement. Political objectives framed in both state and human security require military strategists to understand the interrelationship between the security paradigms in order to develop an appropriate military strategy.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich BWL - Sonstiges, Note: 1,7, FOM Essen, Hochschule fur Oekonomie & Management gemeinnutzige GmbH, Hochschulleitung Essen fruher Fachhochschule, Veranstaltung: Projektmanagement, 27 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Tagtaglich wird sie verwendet und doch kennt sie keiner so richtig. Es wird englisch, franzosisch und neuerdings chinesisch gelernt, aber uber sie weiss man so wenig. Sie begegnet einem morgens nach dem Aufstehen im Spiegel. Auf dem Weg zur Arbeit und spater begleitet sie Menschen den ganzen Tag. Nicht nur das; sie begleitet einen das ganze Leben. Die Korpersprache. Unser Korper spricht fur uns." Das ist nicht nur eine Floskel. Das ist eine Tatsache. Egal, was gesagt wird. Die Gestik und die Mimik konnen das unterstreichen, glaubhafter machen. Sie konnen aber auch einen Lugner entlarven. Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass lediglich 30% des Gesagten Einfluss auf das Gegenuber nehmen: das Wissen, die fachlichen Fahigkeiten, die mundliche Argumentation. Im umgekehrten Fall heisst das aber, dass 70% des Nicht-Gesagten das Gegenuber beeinflussen: die Begrussung, die Mimik, die Gestik. Dies alles sind Faktoren, die einen Kunden dazu bewegen konnen, das Geschaft abzuschliessen. Wenn man also seinen Korper unter Kontrolle hat und das Ausgestrahlte auf das Gesagte abstimmt, wirkt man glaubhafter. Doch sind die Auswirkungen der non-verbalen Signale wirklich bekannt? Welche Reaktionen werden bei den Mitmenschen hervorgerufen? Wie kann Ehrlichkeit oder ein Lugner erkannt werden? Ist die Korpersprache universal? Was sollte im Ausland beachtet werden? All diese und noch weitere Fragen werden im Laufe dieser Seminararbeit beantwortet. Es werden die Signale des Korpers und ihre Wirkung betrachtet. Die geschlechterspezifische Korpersprache und das Aufeinandertreffen der Geschlechter werden ebenfalls beaugt. Des Weiteren werden die kulturellen Unterschiede in der Korpersprache und die damit entstehe
