Overview: Publication in the Field of Economic Sciences.Includes supplementary material: Anne Kathrin Adam conducts several empirical analyses to gain insights into the characteristics of institutional goals and strategy as well as the relationship between goals, strategy, and factors of success of business schools. The author gives an overview of the content of mission statements, strategic profiles of 521 U.S. AACSB-accredited business schools, and the importance of various factors of influence on selected dimensions of market success. Her findings stress the importance of setting a clear st

Overview: Discussion of the precise nature and position of boundaries between dis­ ciplines is nearly always counterproductive; the need is usually to cross them not to emphasize them. And any such discussion of the distinction between ethology and comparative psychology would today seem patently absurd. While there may be differences in outlook, no boundaries exist. But when Frank Beach started in research, that was not the case. Comparative psychology flourished in the United States whereas ethology was unknown. Beach started as a comparative psychologist and has always called himself either

Overview: This book provides the latest developments and research results in stochastic models in reliability and maintenance.Includes supplementary material: Our daily lives can be maintained by the high-technology systems. Computer systems are typical examples of such systems. We can enjoy our modern lives by using many computer systems. Much more importantly, we have to maintain such systems without failure, but cannot predict when such systems will fail and how to fix such systems without delay. A stochastic process is a set of outcomes of a random experiment indexed by time, and is one of
