Overview: Entscheidungshilfen für die WerbeplanungEmpirische Studien zum Entscheidungsverhalten von Unternehmen bei der Festle­ gung des für ein Geschäftsjahr einzusetzenden Werbeetats sowie dessen Allokation auf Werbeaktivitäten zeigen, daß die Werbeplanung in der unternehmerischen (Han­ dels-)Praxis zu einem Großteil nur unzureichend methodisch gestützt erfolgt und oft durch Intuition geprägt ist. Als Entscheidungsgrundlage werden immer noch einfache heuristische Regeln genutzt, welche von seiten der wissenschaftlichen Forschung als logisch inkonsistent kritisiert werden. Dem ist jedoch entg

Overview: Provides a pedagogical introduction to the analytic properties of the S-matrix.Reviews the rich literature on singularities of scattering amplitudes.Presents a new prescription for analytically contin.This book provides a modern perspective on the analytic structure of scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory, with the goal of understanding and exploiting consequences of unitarity, causality, and locality.

Overview: The first book to focus on the complex relationships between inheritance, work, and desert in literature.Uses the innovative approach of enlisting ideas in contemporary moral philosophy to illuminate This book focuses on the complex relationships between inheritance, work, and desert in literature.

Overview: Recent debt crises and consequent dislocations and distress in the underdeveloped world have shown that the development strategies of the last forty years were misconceived. No underdeveloped country during this period could become an industrially advanced country, despite the development schemes orchestrated by the World Bank. This results from the fact that mainstream economic theory ignores international and national constraints and their interactions with the dynamics of technological transformation. This book develops a completely articulated theory of economic interconnections
