Overview: In this concise historical and conceptual analysis of China‘s evolving position in a world defined predominantly by global capitalist development, Lin offers a critical review of relevant debates and discusses the imperative and feasibility of a socialist Chinese model, reconstructed, as an alternative to standardized modernity at an impasse.978-1-349-45345-0978-1-137-30126-0

Overview: Corporate Governance ist nicht nur für kapitalmarktorientierte Großunternehmen, sondern auch für mittelständische Familienunternehmen vermehrt ein wichtiges Thema. Patrick Ulrich entwickelt Anforderungen an eine integrierte Corporate Governance-Konzeption. Er spiegelt seine theoretischen Erkenntnisse anhand von 16 Experteninterviews und 16 Fallstudien aus der Unternehmenspraxis wider. Neben einem Corporate Governance-Modell leitet der Autor Handlungsempfehlungen im Sinne eines Code of Best Practice ab, die mittelständischen Familienunternehmen Umsetzungsperspektiven zum State of the

Overview: In this book William Durch examines conventional weapons proliferation since World War II, the role of arms transfers in fueling regional conflict, and prospects for curbing the global arms trade. Noting that supply side arms control efforts, which seek to constrain the companies and countries that produce and distribute major conventional weapons, have a poor international track record, Durch argues for a broader approach that tries to get at the demand side of the equation. Addressing the political and regional dynamics that impel arms acquisitions, he looks at how arms control mig

Es liefert aktuelle Entwicklungen und praktische Messvorschriften mit Auswertungen. Das praxisnahe Buch deckt die nasschemische und instrumentelle Analytik und Bioanalytik in voller Breite ab und schließt damit eine Lücke. Es

Overview: Mathematicians have long recognized the distinction betweenan argument showing that an interesting object exists and aprocedure for actuallyconstructing the object. Computerscience adds a new dimension of interestin constructivity,since a computer program is a formal description ofaconstructive procedure that can be executed automatically.It has beenover a decade since a conference was devoted toconstructivity, and never before has one been heldspecifically relating computer science toconstructivity.Thus, this proceedings volume is the most concentratedoffering ever produced of the d

Overview: Discusses the emerging cognitive view of business modelling.Identifies the key managerial and organizational cognition theories that have a relevance for business model scholarship.Explores possibilit.This book explores how theories of cognition inform our theoretical understanding of business models and business model innovation. A business model can either be viewed as an objective description of an activity system, or as an abstract, conceptual, and perceptual construct, that is the result of cognition. From this second point of view, the business model becomes a schematic mental

Overview: Human visual perception is limited to the visual-optical spectrum. Machine vision is not. Cameras sensitive to the different infrared spectra can enhance the abilities of autonomous systems and visually perceive the environment in a holistic way. Relevant scene content can be made visible especially in situations, where sensors of other modalities face issues like a visual-optical camera that needs a source of illumination. As a consequence, not only human mistakes can be avoided by increasing the level of automation, but also machine-induced errors can be reduced that, for example,

Chapters will utilize bullet points for qu

Overview: Ever since arbovirus infections became known and their relative importance assessed, experiments were designed to elucidate the mode of transmission and the most important natural hosts responsible for perpetuating the infection in nature. Human infections and the disease in wild rodents, birds, and domestic animals were studied in relation to viremia and distribution of the infectious agent in the organism. With increasing epidemiological studies it became apparent that the neural manifestations of the disease are very uncommon, confined only to a small percentage of individuals of

Overview: Small particles in gaseous systems are called clusters, aerosols, dust particles, Aitken particles, etc., depending on their size, the media where they are observed, and the field of science in which they are studied. Below we call clusters systems of bound atoms or molecules containing from several atoms (molecules) up to thousands, so that their structure can be essential for determining their properties. If clusters are like bulk systems, we call them small particles. The principal pecu­ liarity of clusters is with respect to magic numbers of cluster atoms that correspond to a hei

Overview: Introduction to the topic.Overview with special focuses.With numerous examples.Detailed textbook with a focus on consumer behavior research.. ..This textbook addresses the central question of whether and in what way advertising has a lasting influence on the purchase decision process. For this purpose, it takes a look at the focus of consumer behavior and market research. In the course of this, the work conveys the basics of consumer behaviour in a comprehensible and clear language. .. ..Why is the shopping cart fuller than planned?

Overview: The world is experiencing unprecedented rapidity of change, originating from pervasive technological developments. These developments are fundamentally reliant on the changing face of computing. Computers are a near-ubiquitous feature on the modern social landscape. Such ubiquity enables rapid propagation of changes emerging from within computing as a family of disciplines. What, then, is the relevance of such changes to education of future computer professionals and computer scientists? This book considers the effects of such rapid change from within computing disciplines, by allowi
