Overview: Includes supplementary material: Dynamic Pricing of services has become the norm for many young service industries – especially in today’s volatile markets. Steffen Christ shows how theoretic optimization models can be operationalized by employing self-learning strategies to construct relevant input variables, such as latent demand and customer price sensitivity. He proves that the development of the necessary forecasting models is indeed possible, i.e., through the usage of real-time data of online sales channels.978-3-8349-2749-1978-3-8349-6184-6

Overview: . ..Organisationale Umweltbeobachtung ist bislang kaum im Fokus der Organisationskommunikation. In dieser Arbeit werden auf Basis der systemtheoretischen Organisationstheorie sechs Programme entwickelt, welche die Prozesse organisationaler Umweltbeobachtung beschreiben. Grundlage dafür bildet die Analyse von 485 im Rahmen einer qualitativen empirischen Studie mit High-Tech KMU erhobenen Unternehmensprogrammen. Die Ergebnisse tragen zur Theorieentwicklung in der Organisationskommunikation bei und können als Exportvorschlag andere Disziplinen bereichern... ..978-3-658-33319-5978-3-658-

Overview: Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Studie.Der Autor stellt einen Koordinations-Mechanismus vor, der es ermöglicht, die für die Umsetzung einer Lieferantenentwicklung notwendigen Investitionen zielgerichtet zwischen Abnehmer und Zulieferer aufzuteilen.

Was nature itself truly an ordered entity, as Newton had argued, or was it a mass of chaotic, randomly moving atoms, as some materialist thinkers believed? This book explores the tensions and conflicts in t

Overview: This book presents our experience in the operative treatment of bone and soft-tissue tumors arising in and around the pelvis, from 1970 to 1999 in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the Niigata University Medical Hospital. Histological diagnoses included both benign and malignant tumors. Surgical plan­ ning was difficult to perform in our early experience in operative treatment, when only angiography and barium enemas were in use. In the meantime, computed tomog­ raphy scanning and magnetic resonance imaging became available. Subsequent improvement in the quality of these images
