Boarderlines a true story
„Whoever can give me a comprehensible reason for growing up, gets all the gold in the world, an Oscar in every category and at the same time be burning in hell.“ As Andi became infected with the surfing virus in Bali, his life was thrown overboard and scattered across the world. This was the starting point for a trip to the best waves on the planet and a search for deeper meaning between reason and wanderlust. And for a life in the midst of guns, precious gems, thieves, know-it-all professors and German beer cans. A spontaneous idea turns the life of an ingenuous university freshman into a 10 years journey around the globe. Drop outs and free spirits in Indonesia, monsterwaves in Australia, gangster in South Africa, smuggling gems in Sri Lanka and Salsa in Ecuador. The journey begins. And the struggle between conventional life at home and the new passion burning in his soul invites the reader to paddle out into the vast ocean of existence with its ups and downs towards understanding life´s most profound undercurrents. Boarderlines captures the rush of adrenaline in big waves and the touching smile in the eyes of people who have nothing but the biggest hearts.
Frontiers of Research in Economic Theory
'Leading economists presenting fundamentally important issues in economic theory' is the theme of the Nancy Schwartz lectures series held annually at the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management of Northwestern University. Reporting on lectures delivered in the years 1983 through 1997, this collection of essays discusses economic behavior at the individual and group level and the implications to the performance of economic systems. Using non-technical language, the speakers present theoretical, experimental, and empirical analysis of decision making under uncertainty and under full and bounded rationality, the influence of economic incentives and habits, and the effects of learning and evolution on dynamic choice. Perfect competition, economic development, social insurance and social mobility, and negotiation and economic survival, are major economic subjects analyzed through our understanding of economic behavior.
Multicriteria Analysis for Environmental Decision-Making
Multicriteria analysis, or MCA, has been increasingly used in environmental decision-making to support the identification of suitable courses of action by integrating factual information with value-based information collected through stakeholder engagement. Multicriteria Analysis for Environmental Decision-Making provides an introduction to the key concepts of MCA and includes a series of case studies that illustrate the application of MCA to a variety of environmental decision-making problems ranging from protected area zoning to landfill siting, and from forest restoration to environmental impact assessment of tourism infrastructures. A compact reference that can be used by researchers, practitioners and planners/decision makers, Multicriteria Analysis for Environmental Decision-Making can also serve as a textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in a broad range of curricula.
Interactive Multiobjective Decision Making Under Uncertainty
Recently, many books on multiobjective programming have been published. However, only a few books have been published, in which multiobjective programming under the randomness and the fuzziness are investigated. On the other hand, several books on multilevel programming have been published, in which multiple decision makers are involved in hierarchical decision situations. In this book, we introduce the latest advances in the field of multiobjective programming and multilevel programming under uncertainty. The reader can immediately use proposed methods to solve multiobjective programming and multilevel programming, which are based on linear programming or convex programming technique. Organ...
The Design of Alliance Governance Systems
Strategic alliances have emerged as an important element of firms' strategies. Following suit, research on alliances has blossomed, concentrating on the various forms alliances take, the reasons of their existence, and increasingly embracing questions of alliance management and governance tasks. However, most contributions which address the alliance governance problem are yet rather vague and selective in their conception of alliance governance structures as well as the factors which influence their suitability. The aim of this book is to further advance our understanding of alliance governance and to provide recommendations on the problem of alliance governance design. Following the configu...
Exploring Written Artefacts
This collection, presented to Michael Friedrich in honour of his academic career at of the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures, traces key concepts that scholars associated with the Centre have developed and refined for the systematic study of manuscript cultures. At the same time, the contributions showcase the possibilities of expanding the traditional subject of ‘manuscripts’ to the larger perspective of ‘written artefacts’.
AI-Driven Volunteer Selection
In case of medical emergency situations, a Volunteer Notification System aims to alarm potential helpers who can arrive at the victim fast enough to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the professional EMS arrive on scene. A simplistic solution for selecting the corresponding volunteers is described by a so called notification radius, i.e., alarming any volunteer with a geographic location that is within a maximum distance from the victim. Whilst the actual geographical distance is an important parameter to be considered, this work will illustrate that various additional decision parameters are of importance, and elaborate an AI-driven volunteer selection system to increase the reliability and efficiency of occurring notifications.
Rational Decision Making
This book is designed to support you in making difficult decisions in a more - tional way. Based on an established theoretical foundation, it shows that simple requirements concerning rational behavior lead to a general calculus of determ- ing optimal decision alternatives; the book then goes on to present methods and instruments useful for the practical implementation of these concepts. Psychological research has uncovered a multitude of systematic cognitive - ases associated with the intuitive decision process, especially concerning the f- mation of preferences and subjective probability judgments for uncertain events. These developments have elevated prescriptive decision theory to the st...
Performance Evaluation of Foreign Subsidiaries
Katharina Kretschmer contributes to the role typology research stream in international business. The book is highly relevant for management practice. Deep insights into the implications of subsidiary roles are displayed, and it is shown that role-specific subsidiary management is possible if not necessary. In the future, MNC managers could benefit even more when, instead of treating all their subsidiaries alike, approaching them differently – especially when evaluating their performance.
Organisation der Software-Entwicklung
Unter Berücksichtigung alternativer Wettbewerbsstrategien von Software-Unternehmungen und denkbarer Marktbedingungen entwickelt Carsten Lang eine Systematik verschiedener Gestaltungssituationen. Für diese generiert er effiziente Organisationsstrukturen, wobei er die architekturellen Anforderungen an die zu entwickelnden Software-Produkte in seine Überlegungen einbezieht.
