Overview: How do firms react in the face of increasing or decreasing foreign competition? How does the type of foreign competition (FDI or imports) influence a firm‘s reactions? How do reactions such as changes of product scope differ from changes of geographical scope? Can we observe similarities and differences when looking at firms from different countries, i. e. Germany and the US? With increasing globalization these questions have become so central in the field of International Corporate Strategy. Our knowledge regarding those questions is still very limited. Answers to them are of highes

Overview: Explains in detail how the operations research methods are applied to a real-life problem as revenue sharing of airline alliances.Combines concepts in game theory with OR methods.Includes comprehensiv​A major problem arising in airline alliances is to design allocation mechanisms determining how the revenue of a product should be shared among the airlines. The nucleolus is a concept of cooperative game theory that provides solutions for allocating the cost or benefit of a cooperation. This work provides fair revenue proportions for the airline alliances based on the nucleolus, which

Overview: This book describes in general how the chemosensory systems of fish function at various levels. In many ways, fish are typical vertebrates differing only slightly from other vertebrates including humans. In other ways, their aquatic environment imposes strict requirements or offers unique opportunities which have resulted in some unusual functions having no counterpart in higher vertebrates. This new volume is necessitated by advances in many vital areas as the field of chemical senses continues to grow at a rapid pace. Most significant is the application of the contemporary electrop
