Die Festgabe fur Klaus Bellmann zum 70. Geburtstag enthalt 27 Beitrage, die seine Schuler, Kollegen und Freunde ihm zu Ehren gewidmet haben. Sie spiegeln die weiten interdisziplinaren Forschungsfelder Klaus Bellmanns wider, die von Innovations- und Technologiemanagement, Kompetenz- und Netzwerkmanagement, Komplexen Systemen, Produktions- und Logistikmanagement, Qualitats- und Umweltmanagement sowie angrenzenden Disziplinen gepragt sind."

Eckhart von Hahn setzt sich mit den fur Nutzer und Hersteller von Software gleichermassen wichtigen Fragen auseinander, wie sich der Wert von Software zusammensetzt, was auf beiden Seiten zu tun ist, um den Wert zu erhalten, und wie mogliche Alternativen zu beurteilen sind. Seine Methodik der Wertdeltaanalyse verbindet Erkenntnisse der Informatik und bestehende werttheoretische Ansatze der Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Drei Fallstudien mit 34 Interviews evaluieren die praktische Anwendbarkeit

Die Beitrage dieses Bandes setzen sich mit zentralen Aspekten der Electronic Collaboration auseinander. Themen sind Geschaftsprozessoptimierung, Kundenintegration, Produkt- und Dienstleistungsentwicklung sowie Produktion und Zulieferung. Ausserdem werden Instrumente zur Realisierung der Electronic Collaboration vorgestellt.

As competition between value chains on globalized markets is constantly getting fiercer, there is a growing trend to achieve closer collaboration and integration within these value chains and increasingly more complex supply networks. Additionally, in the wake of the thrilling possibilities of using information technology and its potential in boosting the performance of supply chains, researchers are increasingly looking for technology-enabled solutions for a better supply chain performance management. This volume, edited by Thorsten Blecker, Wolfgang Kersten and Christian Ringle, provides valuable insights into: - Maritime Logistics - Challenges and Opportunities - Leveraging Logistics Processes for Supply Chain Performance Management - Innovative Technology Solutions in Supply Chains - Knowledge Management in Logistics. This volume appeals to researchers and practitioners alike, who are interested in current contributions by international authors, providing theoretical, empirical and case-study oriented background and information on their research work.

As the customer is demanding more sustainable and affordable products, the supply chains have to find innovative ways to fulfill this need. In this context, collaboration as well as optimization methods are becoming even more evident to enhance supply chain structure to an efficient and sustainable approach. While collaboration and optimization increase complexity and susceptibility, risk management needs to be applied concurrently. This volume, edited by Wolfgang Kersten, Thorsten Blecker and Christian Ringle, provides valuable insights into: - Sustainability in Logistics - Sustainability and collaboration practices - Supply chain risk management - Optimization methods in supply chain management. This volume addresses timely and relevant topics. Both researchers and practitioners are addressed and can obtain background information from current distributions by international authors presenting a state of the art research overview.

This volume is a collection of the research papers presented at the colloquium Baltic Business Development, which took place in the environment of the 3rd international conference Economies of Central and Eastern Europe (ECEE) in Tallinn in 2012. The colloquium was organised by Tallinn School of Economics and Business Administration of Tallinn University of Technology in cooperation with Hamburg University of Technology and the Baltic-German University Liaison Office in Riga. The colloquium offered a great platform for promoting cooperation and for disseminating knowledge and experience on the development of international business in the Baltic Sea Region in the frame of the Baltic Sea Strategy and the Agenda EU2020.
