Erfolgsrezepte für Unternehmensorganisation
By Alfred Mack. 2012
Ein salutogenes Unternehmen können wir uns als ein System vorstellen, das in sich eine Sensibilität besitzt, für das, was dem…
Unternehmen gut tut, und das, was es gefährdet oder ihm schadet. Wohl jeder Unternehmer und jede Geschäftsleitung wird diese Sensibilität für sich in Anspruch nehmen. Die üblichen internen Werkzeuge dafür sind Controlling, Revision, Rechnungswesen, Marktforschung und Qualitätsmanagement. All diesen Werkzeugen ist eine hohe Detaillierung sowie die Fokussierung auf Ergebniskennzahlen und Produktmerkmale gemeinsam. Damit sind sie vergangenheitsorientiert. Keine noch so ausgefeilte Analyse und Auswertung der Daten kann dies auflösen. Weiterführend wäre es, Fehler zu erkennen, bevor sie sich in Ergebniskennzahlen ausdrücken. Wie dies möglich ist, wird in diesem Buch dargestellt.Business By The Book

With this book, distinguished and notable contributors wish to honor Professor Charles S. Tapiero's scientific achievements. Although it covers only…
a few of the directions Professor Tapiero has taken in his work, it presents important modern developments in theory and in diverse applications, as studied by his colleagues and followers, further advancing the topics Tapiero has been investigating. The book is divided into three parts featuring original contributions covering the following areas: general modeling and analysis; applications to marketing, economy and finance; and applications to operations and manufacturing. Professor Tapiero is among the most active researchers in control theory; in the late sixties, he started to enthusiastically promote optimal control theory along with differential games, successfully applying it to diverse problems ranging from classical operations research models to finance, risk and insurance, marketing, transportation and operations management, conflict management and game theory, engineering, regional and urban sciences, environmental economics, and organizational behavior. Over the years, Professor Tapiero has produced over 300 papers and communications and 14 books, which have had a major impact on modern theoretical and applied research. Notable among his numerous pioneering scientific contributions are the use of graph theory in the behavioral sciences, the modeling of advertising as a random walk, the resolution of stochastic zero-sum differential games, the modeling of quality control as a stochastic competitive game, and the development of impulsive control methods in management. Charles Tapiero's creativity applies both in formulating original issues, modeling complex phenomena and solving complex mathematical problems.Wine and Tourism

development, driving economic growth and social development in some locations. It will explore the interaction between tourism and viticulture in wine tourism destinations, while also explaining some of the repercussions of these activities. This book covers various topics including regional development, environmental management, sustainable viticulture, quality management in wineries and wine tourism routes among others. Wine tourism, which combines two important yet distinct economic activities (i. e. , tourism and viticulture), has recently emerged as a new tourism product driven by tourists' search for new experiences and wineries' need to diversify their businesses and seek new revenue streams to boost sales. This new form of tourism, which typically takes place in rural areas and which combines wine production with tourist activities, is becoming important for such regions by providing a complementary income source. It provides a model for sustainable economic development for these regions, which for various reasons may otherwise struggle to develop. Featuring cases and business implications from various locations, this book provides an important source of knowledge--both theoretical and practical--suitable to academics, scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the tourism sector and the wine industry.Advertising and Promotion

By Claudia Goldin, Lawrence F. Katz. 2018
Today, more American women than ever before stay in the workforce into their sixties and seventies. This trend emerged in…
the 1980s, and has persisted during the past three decades, despite substantial changes in macroeconomic conditions. Why is this so? Today’s older American women work full-time jobs at greater rates than women in other developed countries. In Women Working Longer, editors Claudia Goldin and Lawrence F. Katz assemble new research that presents fresh insights on the phenomenon of working longer. Their findings suggest that education and work experience earlier in life are connected to women’s later-in-life work. Other contributors to the volume investigate additional factors that may play a role in late-life labor supply, such as marital disruption, household finances, and access to retirement benefits. A pioneering study of recent trends in older women’s labor force participation, this collection offers insights valuable to a wide array of social scientists, employers, and policy makers.Design of Incentive Systems: Experimental Approach to Incentive and Sorting Effects
By Dennis D Fehrenbacher. 2013
Monetary incentives, as a driving force for human behavior, are the main theme of this book. The primary goals underlying…
the application of monetary incentive systems in companies are motivating employees to strive for superior productivity in line with the interests of employers, and hiring adequately skilled employees. The first goal refers to incentive effects, the latter to sorting effects. This book introduces important theories and concepts concerning behavior under influence of monetary incentives; it reviews existing economic frameworks and identifies specific contingency variables. Based on an integrative framework of elements influencing incentive and sorting effects, a laboratory experiment is presented including detailed methodological discussion on experimentation and data analysis as well as an extensive presentation of findings and discussion of implications.Wavelet Applications in Economics and Finance

By Reiner Kümmel. 2011
Nothing happens in the world without energy conversion and entropy production. These fundamental natural laws are familiar to most of…
us when applied to the evolution of stars, biological processes, or the working of an internal combustion engine, but what about industrial economies and wealth production, or their constant companion, pollution? Does economics conform to the First and the Second Law of Thermodynamics? In this important book, Reiner Kümmel takes us on a fascinating tour of these laws and their influence on natural, technological, and social evolution. Analyzing economic growth in Germany, Japan, and the United States in light of technological constraints on capital, labor, and energy, Professor Kümmel upends conventional economic wisdom by showing that the productive power of energy far outweighs its small share of costs, while for labor just the opposite is true. Wealth creation by energy conversion is accompanied and limited by polluting emissions that are coupled to entropy production. These facts constitute the Second Law of Economics. They take on unprecedented importance in a world that is facing peak oil, debt-driven economic turmoil, and threats from pollution and climate change. They complement the First Law of Economics: Wealth is allocated on markets, and the legal framework determines the outcome. By applying the First and Second Law we understand the true origins of wealth production, the issues that imperil the goal of sustainable development, and the technological options that are compatible both with this goal and with natural laws. The critical role of energy and entropy in the productive sectors of the economy must be realized if we are to create a road map that avoids a Dark Age of shrinking natural resources, environmental degradation, and increasing social tensions.The Company

most powerful institution Like all groundbreaking books The Company fills a hole we didn t know existed revealing that we cannot make sense of the past four hundred years until we place that seemingly humble Victorian innovation the joint-stock company in the center of the frame With their trademark authority and wit Economist editors John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge reveal the company to be one of history s great catalysts for good and for ill a mighty engine for sucking in recombining and pumping out money goods people and culture to every corner of the globe What other earthly invention has the power to grow to any size and to live to any age What else could have given us both the stock market and the British Empire The company man the company town and company time Disneyfication and McDonald sization to say nothing of Coca-colonialism Through its many mutations the company has always incited controversy and governments have always fought to rein it in Today though Marx may spin in his grave and anarchists riot in the streets the company exercises an unparalleled influence on the globe and understanding what this creature is and where it comes from has never been a more pressing matter To the rescue come these acclaimed authors with a short volume of truly vast range and insight From the Hardcover editionFake Work
By Brent D Peterson, Gaylan W Nielson. 2009
How many countless working hours have you spent on projects, proposals, paperwork, and meetings that felt useless or were ignored…
or dismissed? Hard work is not the same as real work. Half of the work we do consumes valuable time without strengthening the short- or long-term survival of the organization. In a word, it's fake. Not only does fake work drain a company's resources without improving its bottom line, it steals conviction, care, and positive morale from employees, and adds the burden of high turnover, communication breakdowns, and cultural patterns of poor productivity. But how can you turn fake work into real work? Internationally renowned business consultants Brent D. Peterson and Gaylan W. Nielson explain how to identify needlessly time-consuming and sometimes difficult tasks (which aren't always as easy to spot as they seem) and shift your focus toward rewarding work that will achieve results. With more than twenty years of experience, Peterson and Nielson have successfully helped corporations, government agencies, nonprofits, schools, and community groups increase their productivity and retain talented employees by understanding and using their skills on things that actually matter. They illustrate their advice with stories about real world employees who have been trapped by fake work. Fake Work offers solutions that will change the way you view work, including how to recognize fake work and how to get out of it, how (and what) to communicate with your colleagues to eliminate fake work, how to recognize and counteract the personality traits that encourage fake work, and how to close the gap between your company's strategies and the work that needs to be done to reach the results critical to your and your company's survival.The Palgrave Handbook of Organizational Change Thinkers
