Taking the Stand: We Have More to Say
Nine Holocaust survivors and victims of Nazi tyranny have "taken the stand" to give their testimony as a legacy for future generations. They are from five different countries and were persecuted for reasons of ethnicity, politics/ideology, or religion. All in all, they were interned in fifty-one camps or institutions. The catalog of questions, unique in the world, consists of 100 questions from 61 schools and universities in 30 countries on 6 continents, as well as from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. What is truly innovative about this book is that all the Holocaust survivors were asked the same questions. As a result, a point-for-point comparison of their answers is possible. Those whose voices are heard range from an average housewife and an unskilled laborer to a fashion designer, from those who have been relatively silent to active Holocaust teachers and to survivors who have already been widely featured in the media and whose life stories have even been the subject of Oscar-winning films. Two of them have already passed their 100th birthdays.

Innovationsarbeit in der Investitionsgüterindustrie
Daniela Wühr analysiert Dynamiken der Innovationspraxis in der Investitionsgüterindustrie. Dabei beleuchtet sie das nicht immer reibungslose Verhältnis von Innovationsarbeit und Innovationsprozess sowie die Herausforderung für die Branche, ihre Innovationsprozesse zu standardisieren und gleichzeitig Flexibilität zu ermöglichen. Ihre empirischen Befunde zeigen Ursachen und Folgen der widersprüchlichen Anforderungen an Innovationsarbeit und ordnen diese theoretisch ein. Dabei spielen das informelle Arbeitshandeln der Innovationsakteure und die Auseinandersetzung mit neuen – formellen – Organisationsstrukturen in der Produktinnovation eine zentrale Rolle. Auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse entwickelt die Autorin einen neuen Erklärungsansatz für Belastung und Umgang mit Ambivalenzen im Arbeitsprozess auf der konkreten Arbeitsebene.
Universitätsorganisation und präsidiale Leitung
Bernd Kleimann geht anhand von Interviews mit Leitungskräften und ExpertInnen der Frage nach, wie sich die rechtliche Stärkung der Hochschulleitungsebene auf Position und Führungspraktiken von RektorInnen und PräsidentInnen staatlicher deutscher Universitäten ausgewirkt hat. Der Autor erarbeitet – gestützt auf eine organisationssoziologische Analyse der Universität, eine Strukturbeschreibung der akademischen Führungsposition und eine Verknüpfung von System-, Akteur- und Sprechakttheorie – eine Typologie von Führungspraktiken, an der sich die hybride Gestalt des aktuellen universitären Leitungsmodells zwischen Kollegialität und Managerialismus ablesen lässt.
