The management of innovation and its role for the accomplishment of leadership excellence in SMEs

By: Markus Santer,Bruno Riedl

Inhaltsangabe:Zusammenfassung: Die aktuelle Situation auf den Märkten ist gekennzeichnet durch Hyperwettbewerb, stark verkürzte Produktlebenszyklen, immer kürzere Produkt- und Technologieentwicklungszeiten. Daraus resultiert die zunehmende Notwendigkeit auch für KMUs, auf internationalen Märkten tätig zu sein und Kernkompetenzen global zu nutzen. Vorsprung zu haben vor anderen, vor Wettbewerbern ist zweifellos von Vorteil. Im Wettlauf um Kunden und überzeugte Anhänger gewinnt doch immer der, der besser, innovativer ist. Erfolgreiches Innovationsmanagement ist eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für überdurchschnittliche Wertsteigerung des Unternehmens, höheres Wachstum im Vergleich zu Konkurrenzunternehmen, Kundenzufriedenheit und letztendlich somit auch eine Notwendigkeit zur Zufriedenstellung aller Stakeholder. Die eingehende Auseinandersetzung mit sowohl theoretischen Grundlagen als auch praktisch angewandten Methoden des Innovationsmanagements bildet den Ausgangspunkt für unsere Diplomarbeit. Das Ziel unserer Arbeit ist es, einerseits theoretische Einblicke in neue Konzepte des Innovationsmanagements zu geben, und andererseits auch praktische Entscheidungshilfen für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Abstract: What are the main reasons for the fact that some companies are able to produce more innovative products and services of better quality in less time for their customers compared to their competitors in a given market? Which are the most important success factors and leadership implications that make some small and medium-sized firms more innovative and more successful than others? Those have been the underlying questions that guided us, when writing this paper on the management of innovation and its role for the accomplishment of leadership excellence in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). When searching the literature of the past five years one can find a vast amount of published articles and studies on innovation and the management of innovation but only a limited number of articles dealt with the specific situation and needs of SMEs. Thus we felt that it would be helpful for leaders of this type of companies to identify a set of practicable implications and measures to be taken in order to support and foster innovation. Of course we cannot reinvent the wheel by setting completely new rules of doing business in SMEs. But what we can do here is trying to identify relevant steps helping to support innovative [...]

European Identity and Culture

Narratives of Transnational Belonging

By: Markus Thiel

As the EU continues its integration process, the concepts of culture and transnational European belonging remain ambivalent, whether in the realm of socio-historical representation or mass politics. Engaging with recent scholarly debates surrounding the formation of collective transnational identities, this collection draws on the latest empirical case studies to explore the meaning and composition of European identity, the mechanisms that create and shape it and the question of whom it includes. Each author pays close attention to the cultural aspects of identity formation, whether manifested in official, institutional articulations, such as symbols, coinage, ceremonies and discursive manifestations, or in the cultures of the everyday, such as through new forms of communication networks, consumption or leisure. Exploring attempts by various actors - institutions, groups, individuals - to create transnational European identities, European Identity and Culture scrutinizes the cultural formations that have either reignited or emerged in often contradictory relations to the EU project, including local, regional and transnational allegiances. A rich, interdisciplinary investigation of the role of culture in the formation of European identity, whether as a central building block to unity or as a formidable obstacle to a common sense of purpose, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and humanities working on questions of political culture, European integration, citizenship and (trans-) national identity.

European Democracies

By: Markus M.L. Crepaz

European Democracies is an introduction to the politics and governments of Western, Central, and Eastern Europe. Organized thematically rather than country-by-country, this fully revised edition examines topics such as electoral systems, the European Union, refugees and the welfare state, and asks how to explain variations in policy outcomes, and how globalization is affecting European Democracies, among others. Throughout, the author treats Europe as a single but diverse entity and asks readers to compare what they learn about European politics with the politics of their own country. Key features in this new edition include: An updated thematic introduction to the politics and governments of Europe; Fully revised to include comprehensive coverage of recent electoral politics and political events in Europe, such as Brexit, the refugee crisis, and terrorist attacks; New chapters on immigration and the nature of European political culture and welfare state. New comparative sections covering topics such as political parties, and financial and political differences in governments between Europe and the USA.

The Sun-Climate Connection Over the Last Millennium Facts and Questions

By: Maxim Ogurtsov,Risto Jalkanen,Markus Lindholm,Svetlana Veretenenko

The search for a cause of the global warming phenomenon on our planet has sparked some interest in the scientific community. The connection between changes occurring in the sun and global warming presents one fundamental perspective which has been investigated by a number of scientific research groups. In recent times, there have been some promising results that might help us uncover the clues about such a link. The Sun-Climate Connection over the Last Millennium: facts and questions presents fundamental information about the solar activity, space weather, terrestrial climates and their variations over an extended period of time. The information presented is a set of analyses based on modern methods of statistical analysis of non-stationary time series, including Fourier, wavelet and singular spectral analysis while considering space weather phenomena (solar winds, solar flares, aurora borealis etc.) and other terrestrial manifestations of solar activity. The physical mechanisms potentially linking solar activity and space weather to climate are discussed based on these analyses. The eBook also provides some context of modern millennial temperature reconstructions for explaining global warming in the 20th century. Scenarios of the solar activity and climate evolution throughout the 21st century are considered on the basis of the updated data. The eBook provides useful facts for researchers seeking information on climate and space research with respect to solar phenomena

Pseudo-Athanasius, Contra Arianos IV

Pseudo-Athanasius, Contra Arianos IV

Eine Schrift gegen Asterius von Kappadokien, Eusebius von Cäsarea, Markell von Ankyra und Photin von Sirmium

By: Markus Vinzent

Until now the period following the Council of Nicea has remained a dark age of early Christian history. This is partly due to the fact that Eusebius' last and important works, Contra Marcellum and De Ecclesiastica Theologia, have not sufficiently been studied. Comparatively little interest has also been given to the Pseudo-Athanasian text Contra Arianos IV. Careful study and comparison of these works against the background of the post-Nicene debate between Asterius, Marcellus, Eusebius and Photinus, has revealed that (as A. Stegmann already proposed in 1917) Contra Arianos IV was written in about 340 and formed a Nicene critique of Marcellus, his pupil and opponents. Therefore, Stegmann's suggestion of the authorship of Apolinarius of Laodicea needs further investigation. This study on Contra Arianos IV sheds new light on the years between Nicea and the synods of Rome and Antioch (340/341).

The Ethical Spirit of EU Law

By: Markus Frischhut

The Ethical Spirit of EU Law

By: Markus Frischhut

This open access book seeks to identify the ethical spirit of European Union (EU) law, a context in which we can observe a trend towards increasing references to the terms ‘ethics’ and ‘morality’. This aspect is all the more important because EU law is now affecting more and more areas of national law, including such sensitive ones as the patentability of human life. Especially when unethical behaviour produces legal consequences, the frequent lack of clearly defined concepts remains a challenge, particularly against the background of the principle of legal certainty. This raises the question to which extent the content of these references is determined and whether it is possible to identify an ethical spirit of EU law. Answering that question, in turn, entails addressing the following questions: In references to ethics concerning EU law, can we identify references to a particular theory of practical philosophy at all; and, if so, to one or more normative ethical theories (deontology, consequentialism, or virtue ethics)? Further, should these non-legal concepts be imported in an unaltered way (“absolute approach”), or be adapted to the legal context (“relative approach”)? This book explores the different layers of EU law (primary law, agreements, secondary law, and tertiary law), including the role of ethics in EU lawmaking and in EU case law, as well as the implementation of relevant EU directives in selected Member States. In addition to the above-mentioned normative philosophical lens, the book also analyzes the findings from the legal lens of EU integration, i.e., especially EU values, human rights and the cornerstone of human dignity.

European Democracies

By: Jürg Steiner,Markus M. L. Crepaz

With his new co-author, Markus Crepaz, Jurg Steiner has brought this best-selling text completely up-to-date. Using a comparative approach, the text crosses national and political boundaries in its coverage of Europe. Starting with detailed coverage of the basic differences between Europe and the United States in a new introductory chapter, the revision puts Europe in a global perspective and no longer divides its coverage between Western and Eastern Europe: Europe is now treated as a single entity.
