Knowledge is a result of never-ending processes of circulation. This accessible volume is the first comprehensive multidisciplinary work to explore these processes through the perspective of scholars working outside of Anglo-American paradigms. Through a variety of literature reviews, examples of recent research, and in-depth case studies, the chapters demonstrate that the analysis of knowledge circulation requires a series of ontological and epistemic commitments that impact its conceptualisation and methodologies. Bringing diverse viewpoints from across the globe and from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, economics, history, political science, sociology, and Science & Technology Studies (STS), this wide-ranging and thought-provoking collection offers a broad and cutting-edge overview of outstanding research on academic knowledge circulation. The book is structured in seven sections: (i) key concepts in studying the circulation of academic knowledge; (ii) spaces and actors of circulation; (iii) academic media and knowledge circulation; (iv) the political economy of academic knowledge circulation; (v) the geographies, geopolitics and historical legacies of the global circulation of academic knowledge; (vi) the relationships between academic and extra-academic knowledges; and (vii) methodological approaches to studying the circulation of academic knowledge. This handbook will be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in the circulation of knowledge.

One of the major challenges for European governments is to solve the dilemma of increasing the security and reducing fraud in international trade, while at the same time reducing the administrative burden for commercial as well as public administration organisations. To address these conflicting demands, the ITAIDE project has developed a large set of innovative IT-related tools and methods that enable companies to be better in control of their business operations. These tools and methods have been integrated in the ITAIDE Information Infrastructure (I3) framework. By using the I3 framework, companies are better positioned to apply for the Trusted Trader status, and enjoy trade facilitation benefits such as simplified customs procedures and fewer inspections of their goods. Hence, the I3 framework can contribute to making global supply chains faster, cheaper, and more secure. The I3 framework has been tested and validated in five real-life Living Labs, spanning four different sectors of industry, and conducted in five different EU countries. National Tax & Customs organizations from various European countries have actively participated in the Living Labs. The United Nations CEFACT group, experts from the World Customs Organization and representatives of key industry associations have also provided valuable feedback and ideas for the Living Labs and the project in general. www.itaide.org

Collaboration of organizations reshapes traditional managerial practices and creates new inter-organizational contexts for strategy, coordination and control, information and knowledge management. Heralded as organizational forms of the future, networks are at the same time fragile and precarious organizational arrangements, which regularly fail. In order to investigate the new realities created by technology-enabled forms of network organizations and to address the emerging managerial challenges, this book introduces an integrative view on inter-firm network management. Centred on a network life cycle perspective, strategic, economic and relational facets of business networking are explored. The network management framework is illustrated onto a broad range of European inter-firm network examples in various industries rendering insights for new management practices.

For the third time now, experts in tourism from all over the world come to Innsbruck in order to exchange ideas, inform themselves and others about current developments and build a network of personal relations. The main topics of ENTER 96 are business engineering and standardisation, covering a wide area of subjects like the redesign of touristic products and the processes of their production. This covers, however, not only single business processes but also the entire value chain in tourism, ending up in redesign of distribution channel and changing relations among principals, tour operators, travel agents and customers. Standardisation increasingly becomes a prerequisite for interorganisational coordination and cooperation, EDI is slowly being introduced in tourism and Internet related standards like HTML and VRML. will have a major impact on the future development of electronic distribution platforms for services in tourism. As the proceedings underscore, ENTER has been established as an international platform for scientific and practical discourse on Information and Communication Technologies in Tourism. The close interdisciplinary link between technological and economic questions in tourism opens up new, promising threads for applied research and development likewise.

Gegenwiirtig findet einerseits ein an Tempo rasch gewinnender, oft dramatischer Umbau von Unternehmen und ganzen Wirtschaftszweigen statt. Beispiele wie ABB oder IBM, Entwicklungen im Automobil-, Banken- oder Versicherungsbereich bieten reiches empirisches Belegmaterial. Auf der anderen Seite hat der Aufbau einer globa- len neuen Telematikinfrastruktur in den letzten Jahren neue Grossenordnungen er- reicht. Schlagworte wie Internet oder Information Superhighway haben dies einer breiten Offentlichkeit zum Bewusstsein gebracht. Die erste Entwicklung ist wesentlich mit der Herausbildung bzw. mit der zunehmen- den Bedeutung von Unternehmensnetzwerken verbunden. Dabei sind die verschie- densten Formen von Netzwerken anzutreffen - von hierarchisch organisierten Liefer- verbunden, wie etwa in der Automobilindustrie, bis zu offenen, marktmassig organi- sierten Netzen, wie beispielsweise im Bereich der Textilindustrie. Die zweite Entwicklung ist im informationstechnischen Bereich eng mit den Interorganisa- tionssystemen (IDS) verbunden. Diese beiden Entwicklungen sind nicht unabhiingig voneinander. Ohne die Frage nach dem Primat der einen oder anderen Entwicklung aufzuwerfen oder gar zu beantwor- ten, kann festgehalten werden, dass sie einander bedingen: Die heutige Form der Un- ternehmensnetzwerke ware ohne die in ihnen Verwendung findenden Interorganisati- onssysteme nicht funktionsfahig. Die sich in den Unternehmensnetzwerken stellenden Aufgaben des Informationsaustauschs treiben ihrerseits die Entwicklung neuer Formen von IDS voran - zur Zeit namentlich im Bereich offener Systeme.

Popular science at its very best, "The Secret Pulse of Time" awakens us to and empowers us with the idea that time is far more at our disposal than we have previously realized. Award-winning journalist Stefan Klein-- whose previous book, "The Science of Happiness," is a longtime international bestseller--here provides what are essentially "operating instructions" for time. Through a combination of original investigation and reportage, personal revelation, and a commanding presentation of scientific research (among disciplines including brain physiology, social psychology, philosophy, and Einsteinian physics), "The Secret Pulse of Time" teaches readers not only to better master time but also to understand why they so often fail to do so.

Why are there morning people and night people? How come time flies when you're having fun and three minutes can sometimes seem an eternity? Would time exist if we didn't measure it - and why is there never enough of it? Our modern lives are ruled by minutes and hours. We race from one thing to the next, all of us believing on some level that a mysterious cosmic force called 'time' is ticking on. And it's always in short supply. But is the time we live really like that? Could there in fact be another, alternative version, entwined with the official one? Here Stefan Klein explores the hidden dimensions of time, looking at everything from when the present becomes the past to the tribe that see the future backwards, from when sex is best to why the years seem to speed by as we age. And he reveals how we can learn to live in harmony with the secret clock within us, altering our perceptions to transform our lives. To be enjoyed in the morning or the evening (depending on your body clock), this book will make you think the next time you check your watch - and maybe even slow down a little.

Revered today as perhaps the greatest of Renaissance painters, Leonardo da Vinci was a scientist at heart. The artist who created the Mona Lisa also designed functioning robots and digital computers, constructed flying machines, and built the first heart valve. His intuitive, ingenious approach,a new mode of thinking,linked highly diverse areas of inquiry in startlingly original ways, ushering in a whole new era. In Leonardo's Legacy , award-winning science journalist Stefan Klein provides an illuminating new look at Leonardo's unique genius" ( Publishers Weekly ), which delves into the brilliant, complex mind of this quintessential Renaissance man.

Es werden sowohl Kausalitaten als auch Besonderheiten erklart und teilweise grafisch dargestellt., Abstract: Die nachfolgende Ausarbeitung soll sowohl die Bedeutung als auch die Kausalitat von Logistikplanung und -organisation in Relation zur Beschaffungslogistik darstellen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Beschaffungslogistik innerhalb der Unternehmung als wichtigstes Element einzustufen ist. Ohne eine reibungslose Beschaffung werden samtliche, verfugbaren Produktionsfaktoren in Frage gestellt. Die Beschaffungslogistik ist als elementar fur den Unternehmenserfolg anzusehen, nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil die Senkung von Materialkosten die Ertragslage von Unternehmen wesentlich verbessert. Tendenziell ist auch erkennbar, dass z.B. Automobilhersteller mit Ihren Lieferanten immer mehr Aufgaben gemeinsam wahrnehmen, um so auch die Zahl der Lieferanten zu senken. Dies gelingt aber nur dann, wenn sie es schaffen, Wertschopfungsketten in globale Netzwerke zu integrieren. Dabei mussten sich die Einkaufer zukunftig zu Supply Managern weiter entwickeln... Es schliesst sich eine detaillierte Darstellung der Logistikplanung unter Aufspaltung nach Prognoseverfahren der Beschaffung, Bestandsmanagement, deterministischen Verfahren, Zeit- und Terminmanagement sowie Kapazitatsmanagement an.

In jungster Zeit drangten steigende Arbeitslosigkeit, ein stotternder Konjunkturmotor und chronisch klamme Kassen die Politik dazu, erstmals grossere - und dringend notwendige - Reformschritte zu unternehmen, um die sonst unausweichlichen Katastrophen vielleicht doch noch abwenden und bereits entstandenen Schaden begrenzen zu konnen. Zahlreiche Optionen wurden diskutiert, Expertenkommissionen kampften um die Gunst der Politiker. Letztere waren schliesslich gezwungen zwischen Pest und Cholera zu wahlen. So waren die ersten Reformschritte zwar genauso unausweichlich wie uberfallig; und doch war man stets bemuht, den politischen Flurschaden zu begrenzen. Es galt, einen tragbaren Kompromiss zu finden, der die Burger nicht ubergebuhrend belasten, zeitgleich den okonomischen Notwendigkeiten zumindest ein Stuck weit Rechnung tragen und doch keinem politische Suizid

Clinical psychologists have been dealing with miserable feelings since their discipline was established. In the last 30 years, neuroscientists have made major headway in the understanding of the sources of anger, depression, and fear. Today, whole industries profit from this knowledge--producing pills for every sort of pathological mood disturbance. But until recently, few neuroscientists focused on the subject of happiness. Now, in The Science of Happiness, leading German science journalist Stefan Klein ranges widely across the latest frontiers of neuroscience and neuropsychology to explain how happiness is fostered in our brains and what biological purpose it serves (and, importantly, how we can control our negative feelings and emotions). In addition, he explains the neurophysiology of our passions (the elementary rules of which are hardwired into our brains), the power of consciousness, and how we can use it. In a final section, Klein explores the conditions required to foster the "pursuit of happiness." A remarkable synthesis of a growing body of research that has not heretofore been brought together in one accessible book, The Science of Happiness will ultimately help each of us understand our own quest for happiness--and our fostering of it, as well.
