Der Innovationskontext als wirtschaftshistorischer Analyserahmen
Inhaltsangabe:Gang der Untersuchung: „Innovation ist ein Lebenselixier unserer Gesellschaft. Die Leistungsfähigkeit der Wirtschaft hängt entscheidend davon ab, immer wieder neue Produkte, Verfahren und Dienstleistungen der Nachfrage anzubieten.“ Dennoch gibt es bisher keine umfassende Theorie, die vollständig erklären kann, welche Gegebenheiten Innovationen ermöglichen, welche sie verhindern oder welche Faktoren Innovationsaktivitäten begünstigen oder sie eher hemmen. Deswegen werden zu Anfang dieser Arbeit in Kapitel 2 Forschungsansätze aus den Jugendjahren der Innovationsforschung kurz dargestellt. Beginnend mit Schumpeter und dem „Prozess der kreativen Zerstörung“ werden ...
Information Communication Technologies: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
The rapid development of information communication technologies (ICTs) is having a profound impact across numerous aspects of social, economic, and cultural activity worldwide, and keeping pace with the associated effects, implications, opportunities, and pitfalls has been challenging to researchers in diverse realms ranging from education to competitive intelligence.
International Organization
The third edition of this popular core textbook provides wide-ranging coverage of the structure, internal working, policies and performance of international organizations such as the UN, EU, IMF and World Bank. Such organizations have never been so important in addressing the challenges that face our increasingly globalised world. This book introduces students to theories with which to approach international organizations, their history, and their ability to respond to contemporary issues in world politics from nuclear disarmament, climate change and human rights protection, to trade, monetary and financial relations, and international development. Underpinning the text is the authors' uniqu...
The Evolution of Human Populations in Arabia
The romantic landscapes and exotic cultures of Arabia have long captured the int- ests of both academics and the general public alike. The wide array and incredible variety of environments found across the Arabian peninsula are truly dramatic; tro- cal coastal plains are found bordering up against barren sandy deserts, high mountain plateaus are deeply incised by ancient river courses. As the birthplace of Islam, the recent history of the region is well documented and thoroughly studied. However, legendary explorers such as T.E. Lawrence, Wilfred Thesiger, and St. John Philby discovered hints of a much deeper past during their travels across the subcontinent. Drawn to Arabia by the magnifcen...
Sustainable Action
In this timely exploration of sustainable actions, Christian Berg unpacks the complexity in understanding the barriers we face in moving towards a sustainable future, providing solution perspectives for every level, from individuals to governments and supra-national organizations offering a lucid vision of a long-term and achievable goal for sustainability. While the 2030 Agenda has already set ambitious targets for humanity, it offers little guidance for concrete actions. Although much is already being done, progress seems slow and some actions aiming at sustainability may be counterproductive. Different disciplines, societal actors, governmental departments and NGOs attribute the slow prog...
The Foreign Policy of the European Union
Keukeleire and Delreux demonstrate the scope and diversity of the European Union's foreign policy, showing that EU foreign policy is broader than the Common Foreign and Security Policy and the Common Security and Defence Policy, and that areas such as trade, development, environment and energy are inextricable elements of it. This book offers a comprehensive and critical account of the EU's key foreign relations – with its neighbourhood, with the US, China and Russia, and with emerged powers – and argues that the EU's foreign policy needs to be understood not only as a response to crises and conflicts, but also as a means of shaping international structures and influencing long-term proc...
