Overview: Vor dem Hintergrund des globalen Wettbewerbsumfelds gewinnen Produktionsnetzwerke zunehmend an Bedeutung. Als Reaktion auf die Managementpraxis wurde der Netzwerkgedanke in den letzten Jahren zum "Mainstream" organisationstheoretischer Forschungen. Die bisher vorliegenden Ansätze konzentrieren sich jedoch überwiegend auf rein ökonomische Zusammenhänge und werden der Vielschichtigkeit des Untersuchungsgegenstandes nur teilweise gerecht. Udo Mildenberger gibt einen Überblick über vorhandene Erklärungsansätze der Evolution von Produktionsnetzwerken. Aufbauend auf einer kritischen Analys

Chinese scholars have been exploring spatially oriented literary criticism in two different and mutually reinforcing directions: the first has focused on the study of Western literature, especially U.S. and European texts and theory, and the second has examined Chinese cul

Overview: Includes supplementary material: This book is an example of fruitful interaction between (non-classical) propo­ sitionallogics and (classical) model theory which was made possible due to categorical logic. Its main aim consists in investigating the existence of model­ completions for equational theories arising from propositional logics (such as the theory of Heyting algebras and various kinds of theories related to proposi­ tional modal logic ). The existence of model-completions turns out to be related to proof-theoretic facts concerning interpretability of second order proposition

Overview: The book gives a thorough analysis of South-South trade in a theoretical and political framework. The development of South-South trade in manufactured goods since the 1960s is treated in detail. Problems and potentials of South-South trade in a development context are highlighted through a number of case-studies: the South-South export of manufactured goods from Togo, Nicaragua and Malaysia, Zimbabwe‘s export of manufactures to Zambia, and India‘s export of capital goods to Tanzania. This leads to an assessment of the possible future role of South-South trade in furthering Third-Worl

Overview: Over the last decades, the interior of cars has been constantly changing. A promising, yet unexplored, modality are large stereoscopic 3D (S3D) dashboards. Replacing the traditional car dashboard with a large display and applying binocular depth cues, such a user interface (UI) could provide novel possibilities for research and industry. In this book, the author introduces a development environment for such a user interface. With it, he performed several driving simulator experiments and shows that S3D can be used across the dashboard to support menu navigation and to highlight eleme
