Transformational CEOs

'It is hard to imagine a more enticing topic: why some Japanese firms succeeded in the 1990s despite an economy that failed. The answers are both common sense - operational effectiveness and CEO leadership - and Japan specific - break with traditions. The lessons about leadership, in particular, have wider relevance for leaders, managers, consultants and academics.' - Andrew Campbell, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre, UK Transformational CEOs questions why some Japanese firms succeeded in the 1990s despite an economy that failed - regardless of the burst of the 'bubble' economy, a number of Japanese companies have maintained or extended their international leadership in particular sectors. The authors argue that whilst some of the reasons for successes are plain common sense - operational effectiveness and superior CEO leadership - some are Japan-specific and point to a break with traditional leadership rationale.

Historical Dictionary of Postwar Japan

Japan is a mix of the old and the new, traditional and modern, and old fashion and innovative. It has traveled the road to a modern destination without totally losing sight of its traditions and values. Although some in Japan lament the passing of old ways, Japan has held on to a reasonable amount of its traditions and values. This is easier to find in its arts and crafts and its literature and films as well as in its social habits. This book will introduce the broad sweep of people, events, and trends, including the successes and failures, of postwar Japan. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of Postwar Japan contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 500 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Japan.

Der Einsatz von Steuerungsinstrumenten im Umweltschutz in Deutschland, Südafrika, der Volksrepublik China und Saudi Arabien im Vergleich

Der Einsatz von Steuerungsinstrumenten im Umweltschutz in Deutschland, Südafrika, der Volksrepublik China und Saudi Arabien im Vergleich

Marius Melzer (geb. 1985) hat erforscht, mit welchen Steuerungsinstrumenten Deutschland, Sudafrika, die Volksrepublik China und Sudafrika im Umweltschutz agieren. Das Kernergebnis der Untersuchung ist, dass nur in Deutschland alle Steuerungsinstrumente (Hierarchie, okonomische Anreize, Kooperation und Information) umfassend zum Umweltschutz eingesetzt werden. In den anderen untersuchten Staaten fuhren das Fehlen der Demokratie sowie eines materiell hohen Wohlstandsniveaus zu einer geringeren Nutzung der okonomischen Anreize, dazu bieten die untersuchten Autokratien kaum Partizipationsmoglichkeiten fur die Zivilgesellschaft. Dadurch erhalt die Verwaltung weniger Informationen und fur die umweltbelastenden Unternehmen bestehen geringere Motivationen in den Umweltschutz zu investieren als in Deutschland.
