Marita Haas claims that social processes are decisive for the success of SME networks and creates a phase concept based on group theory that describes how owners of small enterprises enter into a cooperation. The framework is applied to three network formation cases in Austria, Belgium and Turkey. The author shows that group theory is a useful tool to understand and anticipate processes in networked organizations and indicates that the group formation process must be accomplished before a network will be able to create benefits.
Das vorherrschende Denken und Handeln von Entscheidungsträgern in Organisationen passen nicht mehr in die heutige Zeit. Während sich die Herausforderungen an Organisationen im Verlaufe der Zeit fundamental geändert haben, nehmen sich die Managementlehre und -praxis nur eingeschränkt dieser umwälzenden Problemverschiebung an. Damit ist die Wirkung des gegenwärtig vorherrschenden Managements als Werkzeug für die Bearbeitung heutiger und künftiger Führungs- und Managementherausforderungen in Organisationen höchstens suboptimal – der Lösungsansatz passt nicht zur Problemstellung. Mit anderen Worten: Heutiges Management stellt vielmehr selbst ein Problem denn eine Lösung dar. In Anl...
It is a challenging task to read the balance sheet of an insurance company. This derives from the fact that different positions are often measured by different yardsticks. Assets, for example, are mostly valued at market prices whereas liabilities are often measured by established actuarial methods. However, there is a general agreement that the balance sheet of an insurance company should be measured in a consistent way. Market-Consistent Actuarial Valuation presents powerful methods to measure liabilities and assets in a consistent way. The mathematical framework that leads to market-consistent values for insurance liabilities is explained in detail by the authors. Topics covered are stochastic discounting with deflators, valuation portfolio in life and non-life insurance, probability distortions, asset and liability management, financial risks, insurance technical risks, and solvency.
