Overview: The first phase of transition to a market economy in Centraland Eastern Europe was characterized by a sharp output decline. Thefall in real GDP exceeded 20% while real industrial productiondecreased even by 40%. .Output Decline in Eastern Europe. aims atproviding comprehensive, multi-factor explanations for this unique,painful experience. Various hypotheses are analyzed: credit and fiscalpolicies may have been too tight; the collapse of the CMEA and theUSSR came as a shock; domestic producers were neither experienced, norflexible enough to adjust the output to new patterns of demand.

Overview: The financial markets have turned open-economy monetary economics on its head.

Overview: This book is an attempt to share some of the fascinating and exciting ideas of modern theoretical physics with a non-mathematical audience. I also hope to give some appreciation of the exceptionally creative people who have generated these ideas. I had no intention of writing a comprehen­ sive history of these ideas, however; I apologize to those physicists whose important contributions I may have omitted. Several people have contributed directly to the writing of this book, and I would like to take this chance to thank them. Clive Horwood of Praxis Publishing and Paul Farrell of Cop

Overview: Unternehmenskrisen werden häufig zu spät erkannt und es wird ihnen oft zu lange nicht entgegengewirkt. Systeme strategischer Früherkennung, die frühzeitig auf Krisenentwicklungen hinweisen können, sind in der Praxis immer noch wenig verbreitet. Christina Welsch bietet neue Einblicke in die Herausforderungen der strategischen Früherkennung von latenten Krisen. Sie erweitert und operationalisiert die bisherigen Erkenntnisse zu organisationaler Trägheit, indem sie ein Merkmalsmodell entwickelt und Ausprägungen bestimmt, die auf erhöhte Trägheitskräfte hinweisen. Die Autorin deckt dadurc

Overview: Presents a methodology for formally describing security protocols and their environment.All technical chapters include problems, so the book is suited for graduate students of information security or .Security protocols are widely used to ensure secure communications over insecure networks, such as the internet or airwaves. These protocols use strong cryptography to prevent intruders from reading or modifying the messages. However, using cryptography is not enough to ensure their correctness. Combined with their typical small size, which suggests that one could easily assess their co

Overview: Das Innenleben der Organisation - nach außen dargelegtDieser Band behandelt zentrale Fragen der aktuellen Organisationstheorie und -praxis: Es geht um die Dynamik sozialer Handlungssysteme im Spannungsbereich zwischen Organisation, Macht und Ökonomie. Küpper und Felsch liefern mikropolitische Grundlegungen organisationalen Handelns, die für jede historisch-kontingente Analyse von Organisationsdynamik unentbehrlich sind. Hierbei wird ein konstitutionstheoretisches Verständnis von Handlungssystemen entwickelt, das nicht nur eine angemessene theoretische Verbindung zwischen Handlungs- u

Overview: Without a doubt the idea of object-oriented programming has brought some motion into the field of programming methodology and enlarged the set of programming languages. Object-oriented programming is nothing new-it first arose in the sixties. The motivation came from the simulation of discrete event systems. The concept first manifested itself in the language Simula 67. It took nearly two decades for the method to gain impetus, and today object-oriented programming is an important concept and a powerful technique. Meanwhile, we can even speak of an over­ reaction, for the concept has
