Strategies of German Car Companies in China

By: Patrick Schrott

In 2009, the PRC overtook the USA as the biggest automotive market in the world in production as well as in sales. With economic problems like stagnating real income, rising raw material prices and credit-driven consumerism in the industrial countries the importance of the Chinese market for car companies will even grow. Saturated passenger car markets in the USA and Western Europe and low rates of motorization in new automotive markets like China focus the attention of the market participants on these new, growing markets. The focus of this study is on the passenger vehicle market and lines out why the Chinese market is profitable and attractive for international manufacturers. Moreover, it shows how to deal with the problems and how to use the opportunities regarding the dimensions of internationalization. Firstly, the PEST-Analysis of the Chinese automobile market lines out the political-legal, economic, socio-cultural and technological factors. In such a rapidly changing and growing as well as culturally completely different country like the PRC, the framework conditions and circumstances are of big importance for foreign enterprises willing to do business there. The third chapter deals with possible internationalization strategies for China by showing possibilities of timing and market development strategies plus options for locating business markets. This is also further established in the fourth chapter, in which the internationalization strategies of two German enterprises are analyzed. Furthermore the fourth chapter analyses the internationalization strategies of VW and BMW. At the end of this thesis, the results are summarized in two SWOT-analyses of both firms including measures on how to deal with threats in the PRC and on how to benefit from strengths and opportunities.

The Audience Decides

Applause-Cheering, Laughter, and Booing during Debates in the Trump Era

By: Patrick A. Stewart

The Audience Decides argues that the political parties, aided and abetted by mass media, have abdicated one of their most important responsibilities: that of providing and vetting the best leadership options available. The search for followers, ratings, and attention has led to the structure of presidential debates, especially during the primary season, being driven by goals of entertaining the public at the expense of enlightening the citizenry. To understand the role of the audience as active participant in political debates, and how their function has been subverted, this book focuses on behavior by the candidates and in-person audiences during the 2016 and 2020 general election debates. It does so by using observational methods to consider nonverbal behaviors by candidates to establish on-stage dominance and the observable audience reactions by the in-person audience and their effect on those following the debates. It is anticipated that The Audience Decides will allow for evaluation and reconsideration of how debates, or whatever replaces them, might not only entertain, but also enlighten the most important part of representative democracy – the voting public. Ultimately, it is hoped that debates will help the audience decide who their leader will be based upon substance, not style.

Choices in a Chaotic Campaign

Understanding Citizens' Decisions in the 2020 Election

By: Kim L. Fridkin,Patrick J. Kenney

In Choices in a Chaotic Campaign, Kim Fridkin and Patrick Kenney explore the dynamic nature of citizens' beliefs and behaviors in response to the historic 2020 presidential campaign. In today's political environment where citizens can effortlessly gather information, it is important to move beyond standard political characteristics and consider the impact of pre-existing psychological predispositions. Fridkin and Kenney argue these predispositions influence assessments of campaign events and issues, and ultimately alter citizens' voting decisions. The book relies on data from an original three-wave panel study of over 4,000 people interviewed in September, October, and immediately after Election Day in November 2020. The timing of the surveys provides the analytical leverage to explore how views of the campaign alter citizens' impressions of the candidates. The book demonstrates that expanding the relevant citizen characteristics to include psychological predispositions increases our ability to understand how campaigns influence voters' decisions at the ballot box.

Martins Tagebuch

By: Patrick Maak

Der 10-jährige Martin ist ein ganz normaler Schüler: neugierig, verspielt und intelligent. Ein glücklicher Junge, der sich auf das Gymnasium freut.Dort aber stellen sich erste Rückschläge ein: Martin wird auf eine besonders gute Schule geschickt, die nur von wenigen seiner ehemaligen Klassenkameraden besucht wird. Er muss sich in eine neue Gemeinschaft integrieren, was ihm sehr schwer fällt, und schon bald spürt er, dass bereits in der Schule die Leistungsgesellschaft voll zum Tragen kommt - und Leistung nicht immer gleich Leistung bedeutet.Weil sein Sozialverhalten deutlich schwächer ausgeprägt und trainiert ist als sein schulisches Wissen, wird Martin schon bald zum beliebten Angriffsziel seiner Mitschüler: Es beginnt mit vermeintlich harmlosen Hänseleien und Streichen aufgrund seines manchmal "komischen" Verhaltens sowie guter Noten und geht schnell in handgreifliche Auseinandersetzungen und gezieltes Mobbing über - bis Martin letzten Endes zurückschlägt.In 100 Tagebucheinträgen erzählt Martin über neun Jahre hinweg aus seinem Alltag auf dem Gymnasium - und wir begleiten ihn auf seinem schrecklichen Weg vom Musterschüler zum Amokläufer...

Debatable Humor

Laughing Matters on the 2008 Presidential Primary Campaign

By: Patrick A. Stewart

Debatable Humor represents the first systematic foray into understanding the use of humor by politicians on the campaign trail. Using content analysis of primary debates for both Republican and Democratic parties during the 2008 presidential election, Patrick A. Stewart considers not just how humor was used, who used it, and how successful these attempts at humor were, but he also gives readers insight regarding why humor and the laughter that results is an important part of politics. Not only can humor reveal a candidate’s intelligence, values, personality, and his/her connection with the audience, it also reveals the underlying values of egalitarian political systems.

Geometry of Hypersurfaces

By: Thomas E. Cecil,Patrick J. Ryan

This exposition provides the state-of-the art on the differential geometry of hypersurfaces in real, complex, and quaternionic space forms. Special emphasis is placed on isoparametric and Dupin hypersurfaces in real space forms as well as Hopf hypersurfaces in complex space forms. The book is accessible to a reader who has completed a one-year graduate course in differential geometry. The text, including open problems and an extensive list of references, is an excellent resource for researchers in this area. Geometry of Hypersurfaces begins with the basic theory of submanifolds in real space forms. Topics include shape operators, principal curvatures and foliations, tubes and parallel hypersurfaces, curvature spheres and focal submanifolds. The focus then turns to the theory of isoparametric hypersurfaces in spheres. Important examples and classification results are given, including the construction of isoparametric hypersurfaces based on representations of Clifford algebras. An in-depth treatment of Dupin hypersurfaces follows with results that are proved in the context of Lie sphere geometry as well as those that are obtained using standard methods of submanifold theory. Next comes a thorough treatment of the theory of real hypersurfaces in complex space forms. A central focus is a complete proof of the classification of Hopf hypersurfaces with constant principal curvatures due to Kimura and Berndt. The book concludes with the basic theory of real hypersurfaces in quaternionic space forms, including statements of the major classification results and directions for further research.
