After more than four decades of real income stagnation, ever-increasing inequality and household financial distress, this book explores how the very fabric of our society is under threat. It argues that although capitalism is imperfect, it can be improved, and harnessing its forces of production to more suitable social relations of production is key to that improvement. Highlighting the concept of ‘social capitalism’ and ensuring that it is consistent with our underlying theoretical vision of how capitalism works, chapters address the need for an alternative theory of economic policy-making by combining elements of Marx, Keynes and Schumpeter (MKS). Applying their emphasis on distributive conflicts, effective demand and innovation, the MKS system provides an in-depth description of capitalist dynamics and how they reflect observed capitalist history. Based on this approach, Capitalism, Inclusive Growth, and Social Protection suggests that an unregulated capitalistic system is inherently unstable, generates social inequality and is ultimately unviable. This comprehensive book is an excellent resource for scholars concerned with alternatives to prevailing economics who wish to examine more intensively the current problems of capitalism. The analysis will also be of great value to policy makers and representatives of civil society.

This book is about the conflict which resolved the Greek–Turkish War of 1919–1922: the Great Offensive. On 26 August 1922, the army of the GNA executed the Great Offensive against the Greek defence line extending from the Bay of Gemlik to the Meander River. The Turkish Forces split the Greek Army into two large groups, annihilated one of the groups in the field at the Battle of Dumlupınar on 30 August and pursued the remaining forces of the Greek Army towards the Aegean and Marmara coasts until 18 September. Within these 24 days, the face of Western Anatolia changed unalterably: numerous towns, villages and cities of Western Anatolia were reduced to ashes. This conflict was a turning point in the histories of Turkey and Greece, as it played a significant role in shaping the present-day demographic and geopolitical landscapes of both nations. It resulted in a population exchange in 1923 that dramatically altered the lives of Muslims in Greece and Greek Orthodox people in Turkey and paved the way to the foundation of the Republic of Turkey. Despite the outcome of this war and the existence of a rich literature on its military and political history, the landscapes, memoryscapes and material culture have not been systematically investigated. This book bridges that gap via an archaeological, historical and oral-historical study of the Great Offensive and its aftermath. With its wide chronological perspective, this book is not a pure analysis of a historical war, it is instead a journey into the foundation myth of the Turkish Republic and the ideological foundations of the Turkish state.

This book explores human-animal relations amongst the Bebelibe of West Africa, with a focus on the establishment of totemic relationships with animals, what these relationships entail and the consequences of abusing them. Employing and developing the concepts of "presencing" and "the ontological penumbra" to shed light on the manner in which people make present and engage in the world around them, including the shadowy spaces that have to be negotiated in order to make sense of the world, the author shows how these concepts account for empathetic and intersubjective encounters with non-human animals. Grounded in rich ethnographic work, Totemism and Human-Animal Relations in West Africa offers a reappraisal of totemism and considers the implications of the ontological turn in understanding human-animal relations. As such, it will appeal to anthropologists, sociologists and anthrozoologists concerned with human-animal interaction.

Whether you are looking for an introduction to the field of tree balance, a reference work on the multitude of available balance indices or inspiration for your future research, this book offers all three. It delves into the significance of tree balance in phylogenetics and other research domains, where numerous indices have been introduced over the years. While the variations in definitions and underlying principles among these indices have long remained a challenge, this survey addresses the problem by presenting formal definitions of balance and imbalance indices and establishing desirable properties.  The book is comprehensive both in the inclusion of a variety of indices and in the information provided on them: the authors meticulously analyze and categorize established indices, shedding light on their general, statistical and combinatorial properties. They reveal that, while some known balance indices fail to meet the most basic criteria, certain tree shape statistics from other contexts prove to be effective balance measures. The collected properties are neatly presented, numerous new results are established, open research questions are highlighted, and possible applications are discussed. Reviewing over twenty (im)balance indices, a wealth of mathematical insights is provided, accompanied by real-world examples showcasing the importance of tree balance in diverse research areas. Catering to researchers, students, mathematicians, and biologists, the book can be used as a textbook for university seminars, a reference on tree balance, and as a source of inspiration for future research. It is accompanied by the free R package 'treebalance', a powerful tool to further explore and apply the discussed concepts, and a website allowing quick access to the main information and the latest developments in the field.

Dieses Buch sensibilisiert für die konkreten Anforderungen, die mit der DSGVO verbunden sind. Es stellt Hinweise bereit, die helfen sollen, grobe Fehler zu verhindern, aber auch aufzeigen, wie durch ein aktives Management Wettbewerbsvorteile durch Datenschutz erreicht werden können. Die Autoren zielen darauf ab, erstens in knapper und eingängiger Form Transparenz zu den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen durch die DSGVO allgemein und speziell in Bezug auf Aktivitäten in Marketing und Vertrieb zu schaffen. Im Hauptteil wird zweitens anhand von ausgewählten Marketing- und Vertriebsaktivitäten aufgezeigt, an welchen Stellen Datenschutzbestimmungen (als limitierender Faktor) wirken und welche Maßnahmen erforderlich sind, um das volle Marketingpotenzial im Kundenkontakt ausschöpfen zu können. Betrachtet werden Marketingaktivitäten, die für Unternehmen zum einen wichtig sind (z. B. unmittelbares Umsatzpotenzial) oder eine direkte Schnittstelle zum Kunden bilden und zum anderen Bereiche, in denen derzeit starke Unsicherheiten bei den Entscheidern in Hinblick auf datenschutzrechtliche Belange bestehen. Diese betreffen die Erfassung, Speicherung und Nutzung von personenbezogenen Daten. Abschließend wird drittens aufgezeigt, wie sich das Thema Datenschutz aus der Rolle eines limitierenden Faktors zu einem Erfolgsfaktor für das Marketing umgestalten lässt. Dazu bieten Checklisten eine komprimierte Orientierungshilfe im operativen Bereich.

COVID-19 may be an historical turning point for global capitalism. It has revealed the crisis of neoliberal globalization; however, this does not automatically lead to the ultimate defeat of capitalism or its neoliberal incarnation. The authors in this collection posit that a new framework cannot be built on the values and beliefs of current-day consumer capitalist society; resistance in the pandemic age should be based on the values and beliefs that could be the foundation of a new, postcapitalist society. This book formulates a tentative revolutionary program that could take advantage of the COVID-19 environment to defeat and transcend capitalism.

The book also takes a look at the costume shop and the role of the designer within it, and costume design careers within theatrical and fashion industries.

Dieses Buch thematisiert das Spannungsfeld von Neukundengewinnung (Hunting) und Stammkundenbindung (Farming) im Rahmen von Wachstumspotentialen für Unternehmen. Ausgehend von dem häufig verfolgten Wachstumsziel sind Unternehmen im aktuellen Wettbewerb mehr denn je gefordert, die richtige Balance zwischen Bestandskundendurchdringung und Neukundengewinnung zu finden. Die Diskussion der Wechselwirkungen zwischen beiden Bereichen öffnet den Blick für die Herausforderungen, dass sich Marketing – wie es in vielen Unternehmen gelebt wird – deutlich verändern muss.  Offen ist, mit welchen Marketingstrategien sich Wachstumsziele zum Beispiel in Bezug auf monetäre Zielgrößen erreichen lassen, oder ob der Begriff des Wachstums nicht weiter auszulegen ist. So wird zuerst der Frage nachgegangen, warum das Marketing neu gedacht werden muss. Davon ausgehend werden die veränderten Rahmenbedingungen zur Erreichung von Wachstumszielen und -strategien näher analysiert und anhand von theoretischen Abhandlungen, Darstellungen von qualitativen und quantitativen Untersuchungen sowie zahlreichen Fallbeispielen aus der Praxis unterschiedlicher Branchen verdeutlicht. Darauf aufbauend werden konkrete Ansatzpunkte diskutiert, wie das Marketing neu ausgerichtet werden kann. Renommierte Autoren aus Wissenschaft und Unternehmens-Praxis liefern Denkanstöße, warum die Neukundengewinnung nicht als Allheilmittel für die Erreichung der Wachstumsziele gelten kann, welche Gefahren in diesem Irrweg lauern (wenn zum Beispiel Stammkunden eine bessere Betreuung von Neukunden wahrnehmen und dies als unfair empfinden), wie eine optimale Balance beider Strategien zu erreichen ist und welche Marketingmaßnahmen dabei hilfreich sein können.  Die Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Andreas Krämer ist Gründer und Vorstandsvorsitzender der exeo Strategic Consulting AG, Bonn und Direktor des VARI e.V.

Während derzeit einerseits der Fokus darauf gelegt wird, wie sich Manager in der Steuerung ihrer Vertriebsorganisationen vor einer übermäßigen Abhängigkeit von bestehenden Kunden ("Farming") schützen können, um per Neukundenakquise ("Hunting") das entscheidende langfristige Wachstum erzielen zu können, erscheinen andererseits in vielen Unternehmen die Maßnahmen der Kundengewinnung tatsächlich Vorrang vor einer Stammkunden-Betreuung zu haben.  Mit Beiträgen von:  • Andreas Bartmann, Geschäftsführer Globetrotter Ausrüstung GmbH• Frédéric Begemann, Principal Investors Marketing AG• Dr. Robert Bongaerts, Vorstand der exeo Strategic Consulting AG• Prof. Dr. Thomas Breyer-Mayländer, Professor für Medienmanagement, Hochschule Offenburg• Bianca Brocke, Leiterin Pricing und Zielgruppenmanagement, DB Fernverkehr AG• Prof. Dr. Thomas Burgartz, Dekan Fachbereich Wirtschaft, University of Europe for Applied Sciences, Iserlohn• Marlon Fricker, Digital Marketing Manager, Media Lab Bayern, München• Dr. Mark Herz, Partner der Unternehmensberatung K´UP, Berlin• Tim Ilbertz, Consultant bei der Unternehmensberatung K´UP, Berlin• Dr. Joachim Klein, German Sales VP Standard Customers, E.ON• Christian Köhler, Hauptgeschäftsführer Markenverband• Anna-Theresa Korbutt, Geschäftsführerin Hamburger Verkehrsverbund• Martin Langhauser, Director Shopper Insights, GfK • Thomas Lukowksy, Direktor Allianz AG• Dr. Oliver Mihm, CEO Investors Marketing AG• Sven Neweling, Leiter CRM-Strategie und Kundenbindungsprogramme, DB Fernverkehr AG• Caroline Poßberg, Masterabsolventin, Hochschule Düsseldorf• Alexander Rühl, Marketingmanager, Media Lab Bayern, München• Dr. Olaf Tidelski, Chief Customer Officer, Allianz AG• Dr. Gerd Wilger, Vorstand der exeo Strategic Consulting AG• Prof. Dr. Nikola Ziehe, Professorin für Handelsmarketing & Kommunikationsmanagement, Hochschule Düsseldorf
