Enhanced Trustworthiness and End User Acceptance of Conditionally Automated Vehicles in the Transition Period
A key factor for the introduction of (conditionally) automated vehicles is a high level of trust in and acceptance of these vehicles by the end-user. To bring such so-called TrustVehicles on the road, the end-users and their expectations have to be strongly taken into consideration by, for instance, developing driver interfaces as well as reliable and robust automated driving controllers. The main topics of the book are ranging from the question of how these TrustVehicles should behave and interact with users, the development of reliable sense-plan-act approaches, the whole verification procedures starting with simulation to studies on the driving simulator and the verification on a test track. All these steps together provide an overall picture and pave the way to trustworthy and reliable automated vehicles – so-called TrustVehicles.
Non-technological and Non-economic Innovations
There is a peculiar dissonance in innovation research. On the one hand, the label innovation is applied to almost everything: new products, processes, services, methods, techniques. Even the diffusion of innovations to all spheres of society is called innovation. On the other hand, we find that the main focus of innovation research is still on bringing technology to market. This dissonance provoked the central questions discussed at the 2nd International Conference on Indicators and Concepts of Innovation (ICICI 2008) on «Non-technological and non-economic innovations and their impact on economy» hosted by the Competence Centre for Management at the Berne School of Business and Administrat...
Interest Representation and Europeanization of Trade Unions from EU Member States of the Eastern Enlargement
This book examines the integration of major trade unions from the six biggest countries of EU's Eastern enlargement into EU governance structures. Based on extensive empirical research, including more than 150 in-depth interviews, statistical data collection, document research, and eight detailed case studies, the contributions describe the activities and perceptions of the trade unions under investigation and the different levels of engagement, including European umbrella organizations, interregional cooperation, and European Works Councils. The book thus contributes to political science research on interest representation and Europeanization as well as sociological research on labor relations.
Trade Unions in the Course of European Integration
From the perspective of trade unions, European integration makes it more necessary than ever before to establish common political positions. At the same time, increasing heterogeneity between the member states makes the crafting of such positions more and more difficult. Can, under these circumstances, a joint political line among European trade unions emerge? To answer this question, the book sheds light on transnational trade union cooperation in the three most important policy fields: the debate around the Freedom of services, the discussion over a European minimum wage, and the efforts of international wage coordination. Drawing on the results of extensive field research based on a quali...
Grenzen der Grenzüberschreitung
Europa wächst zusammen - so ein gängiger politischer Slogan. Diese Studie zeigt: In vielen Fällen sind es Organisationen, die in innereuropäischen Grenzregionen die konkrete internationale Zusammenarbeit vorantreiben. In diesem Buch untersucht ein Forschungsteam aus Linguisten, Pädagogen und Soziologen, auf welche Weise den Bildungs-, Kultur-, Sozial- und Verwaltungseinrichtungen im bayerisch-böhmischen Grenzraum die grenzüberschreitende Zusammenarbeit gelingt. Die Forscher zeichnen nach, wie Organisationen geisteswissenschaftliche Expertise einsetzen, um zwischen den Kulturen, Sprachen und Rechtsräumen zu »übersetzen«.
Europäisierung der Arbeitsbeziehungen im Dienstleistungssektor
Der Dienstleistungssektor führte in der Industrial-Relations-Forschung lange ein gewisses Schattendasein, nicht zuletzt wegen seiner Heterogenität. Dementsprechend defizitär ist der Forschungsstand, insbesondere in Hinsicht auf die längst eingetretene Transnationalisierung der großen Unternehmen und die damit verknüpfte Herausforderung, arbeitspolitische Probleme grenzüberschreitend zu bearbeiten. Rüb und Platzer leisten mit diesem Band Pionierarbeit, um wesentliche Lücken zu schließen: In unternehmensbezogenen Fallstudien arbeiten sie transnationale Konfliktstrukturen und Problemlösungsmechanismen heraus und beleuchten die Beziehungen zwischen Belegschaftsvertretung, Management u...
Die soziale Konstruktion organisierter Interessen
Können nationale Gewerkschaften im Zuge der europäischen Integration gemeinsame politische Positionen entwickeln? Martin Seeliger untersucht diese Frage anhand der wichtigsten Felder europäischer Tarifpolitik. Die Antwort fällt ambivalent aus: Starke Diskrepanzen zwischen den nationalen Gewerkschaften, aber auch in der Vertikalen des Mehrebenensystems europäischer Arbeitsbeziehungen, machen "die soziale Konstruktion organisierter Interessen" in der Europäischen Union zu einer großen Herausforderung, die die Entstehung eines sozialen Europas in weite Ferne rückt.
