Overview: Die Wahl der richtigen Markenstrategie ist einer der zentralen Erfolgsfaktoren bei der Einführung neuer Produkte. Diese werden in der betrieblichen Praxis oftmals nicht unter einer neuen eigenständigen Marke sondern unter einer im Markt bereits etab-lierten und beim Verbraucher bekannten Marke eingeführt. Hierbei müssen sowohl die Auswirkungen auf das neue Produkt als auch die Folgen für die verwendete Mar-ke berücksichtigt werden. Grundlage für einen erfolgreichen Einsatz der Marken-transferstrategie ist daher das Wissen über zentrale Einflussfaktoren auf die Verbraucherwahrnehmung

The author examines the family and social background and the individual character of ten famous nineteenth-century women to try to identify the social circumstances and personal qualities that encouraged their social service activit

Overview: The idea of devoting a complete book to this topic was born at one of the Workshops on Nonlinear and Turbulent Processes in Physics taking place reg­ ularly in Kiev. With the exception of E. D. Siggia and N. Ercolani, all authors of this volume were participants at the third of these workshops. All of them were acquainted with each other and with each other‘s work. Yet it seemed to be somewhat of a discovery that all of them were and are trying to understand the same problem - the problem of integrability of dynamical systems, primarily Hamiltonian ones with an infinite number of deg
