This book, the first of two monographs exploring Thucydides,
consists of contributions by world-class scholars on political
order, using the Peloponnesian War to explore the historiography
and political development of the ancient world. These scholars
analyze the original source material of the Athenian order and
interpretations of such material.
This book, the second of two monographs, consists of contributions
by world-class scholars on Thucydides' legacy to the political
process. It also includes a careful examination of the usefulness
and efficacy of the interdisciplinary approach to political order
in the ancient world and proposes new paths for the future study.
Why and under which conditions do companies voluntarily adopt high
social and environmental standards? Christian R. Thauer looks
inside the firm to illustrate the internal drivers of the social
conduct of business. He argues that corporate social responsibility
(CSR) assists decision-makers to resolve managerial dilemmas.
Drawing on transaction cost economics, he asks why and which
dilemmas bring CSR to the fore. In this context he describes a
managerial dilemma as a situation where the execution of
management's decisions transforms the mode of cooperation within
the organization from a hierarchy to one in which managers become
dependent on, and vulnerable to, the behavior of subordinates.
Thauer provides empirical illustration of his theory by examining
automotive and textile factories in South Africa and China. Thauer
demonstrates that CSR is often driven by internal management
problems rather than by the external pressures that corporations
confront.

Die Heilkunde wird Wissenschaft sein, oder sie wird gar nicht sein.
NAUNYN. "Wieder und immer wieder habe ich den Aufforderungen
widerstanden, eine "Abhandlung uber die Anwendung der
Digitalisblatter zu schreiben. Ich fuhlte "mich der Aufgabe einfach
nicht gewachsen. Wenn ich meine auch heute noch "bestehenden
Bedenken nun doch uberwinde, so geschieht es, weil sich das Mittel
"einzuburgern beginnt, und ich vorziehen muss, auf Grund eigener
Erfahrungen "der arztlichen Welt eine, wenn auch nur unvollkommene
Anleitung zu geben, "statt dass infolge fehlerhaften Vorgehens
weiterhin Menschenleben aufs Spiel "gesetzt werden; auch geht es
nicht langer an, dass ein so wichtiges Heilmittel "bald als
gefahrlich, bald als unwirksam abgelehnt wird., 10 Jahre sind
vergangen, seitdem ich zum erstenmal Digitalis verordnete. "Haufige
Anwendung bei sorgfaltiger Beobachtung gab mir seither die Moglich
"keit, die Methode so auszubilden, dass ich in den letzten zwei
Jahren keinen "Anlass mehr sah, noch etwas an ihr zu andern.
Naturlich bin ich weit davon "entfernt, sie fur vollkommen zu
halten." Mit diesem Bekenntnis hat vor 146 Jahren der unsterbliche
Wohltater der Herzkranken, WILLIAM WITHERING, seine klassische -
und heute noch tau frische Digitalismonographie eingefuhrt."
