Overview: Das bekannte Modell von Black und Scholes zur Bewertung von Aktienoptionen weist verschiedene Schwächen auf, die sich aus der angenommenen Konstanz der Volatilität ergeben. Erst zwanzig Jahre nach der Entwicklung dieses Modells ist es Heston gelungen, eine analytische Bewertungsformel für ein Modell herzuleiten, bei dem von einer tatsächlichen stochastischen Volatilität der Aktienkurse ausgegangen wird...Nach einer ausführlichen Bestandsaufnahme der empirischen Literatur zum Black/Scholes-Modell diskutiert Hartmut Nagel verschiedene Optionsbewertungsmodelle, bei denen die Volatilität

Overview: In the course of one‘s research, the expediency of meeting contractual and other externally imposed deadlines too often seems to take priority over what may be more significant research findings in the longer run. Such is the case with this volume which, despite our best intentions, has been put aside time and again since 1971 in favor of what seemed to be more urgent matters. Despite this delay, to our knowledge the principal research results and documentation presented here have not been superseded by other publications. The background of this endeavor may be of some historical int

Overview: Teamorientierte Strukturen entstehen durch die Gewährung von Handlungsspielräumen bei der Übertragung von Kompetenzen auf Mitarbeiter. Sie setzen einen Verzicht kontrollierender und steuernder Eingriffe voraus. Dies bedeutet für das Unternehmen einen Kontrollverlust in Bezug auf das Leistungsverhalten des individuellen Mitarbeiters im Team. Bestehen Divergenzen zwischen den individuellen Zielen des Mitarbeiters und den Unternehmenszielen, so können sich Mitarbeiter zielkonträr verhalten. Peter Horn operationalisiert dieses strukturspezifische Verhaltensrisiko des Unternehmens und arb

Overview: .In 1920s, Otto Warburg described the phenomenon of ‘aerobic glycolysis’, the ability of tumour cells to convert glucose to lactate in the presence of normal oxygen conditions. Warburg’s hypothesis of an altered metabolism in cancer cells found no immediate acceptance, though it was latter confirmed for most human tumours. With the advent of molecular biology the focus in tumour research has shifted towards the search for oncogenes. However, the interest in cancer molecular profiling eventually led to a renaissance of the Warburg effect trying to combine genetic alterations with effe
