Overview: Gemeinsamer Ausgangspunkt der mit der Innovationsproblematik befaßten Literatur ist zum einen die Einsicht in die wettbewerbsstrategische Bedeutung von Neuerungen für Untemehmenserfolge. Zum anderen ist es die Erkenntnis, daß im Zusammenhang von Innovationsprozessen typischerweise "Störpotentiale" auftreten, die beseitigt werden müssen, wenn Innovationshemmnisse erfolgreich abgebaut werden sollen. Eine systematische Erfassung der potentiellen Störfaktoren und deren genauere Bestimmung fehlte bisher. Die Arbeit von B. Bitzer trägt dazu bei, diese Erkenntnislücke wenigstens zum Teil zu

Overview: Study in the Field of Peacebuilding, Reconciliation and Conflict TransformationThis book posits that the ‘refugee crisis’ may actually be a crisis of identity in a rapidly changing world. It argues that Western conceptions of the individual ‘Self’ shape metaphors of political homes, and thus the geopolitics of belonging and exclusion.

On an experimental literary journey through her own past and that of Germany, she puts poli

Overview: Das in den letzten Jahren kontinuierlich gewachsene Umweltbewußtsein breiter Bevölkerungskreise, die oft recht schrille Medienresonanz auf gravierende industrielle Störfälle und die dabei zutage getretene Unbeholfenheit bzw. Ungeschicklichkeit des Managements sollten das fachliche Interesse auf einen Aspekt unternehmerischer Tätigkeit lenken, der bisher von der Betriebswirt­ schaftslehre noch nicht ausreichend beleuchtet worden ist. Dabei geht es weder darum, dem Chor der modernen Ökolyrik eine weitere Stimme zuzufü­ gen, noch darum, das Territorium der betriebswirtschaftlichen Kompe
