Business Process Model and Notation
This book constitutes the proceedings of the third workshop on Business Process Model and Notation, BPMN 2011, held in Lucerne, Switzerland, in November 2011. The 8 research papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 submissions. In addition, 10 short papers are included. The workshop applied a thorough reviewing process, during which each paper was reviewed by three Program Committee members. The BPMN workshop series provides a forum for academics and practitioners who share an interest in business process modeling using the business process modeling notation, which is seen by many as the de facto standard for business process modeling. This year, the workshop lasted two days and consisted of both a scientific and a practitioner event.
Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management
This encyclopedia is the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of reference for sustainability in business and management. It covers both traditional and emerging concepts and terms and is fully international in its scope. More than 700 contributions of internationally renowned experts provide a definitive access to the knowledge in the area of sustainable and responsible management. All actors in the field will find reliable and up to date definitions and explanations of the key terms and concepts of management in this reference work. The Encyclopedia of Sustainable Management represents all aspects of management and business conduct. It takes sustainability as a management concept that gives due credit to the complexity and diverging constraints in which businesses and corporations act today, and it emphasizes and focuses approaches that help ensure that today's management decisions and actions will be the basis for tomorrow's prosperity.
Bark Beetle Population Dynamics in the Anthropocene: Challenges and Solutions
Abstract: Tree-killing bark beetles are the most economically important insects in conifer forests worldwide. However, despite >200 years of research, the drivers of population eruptions and crashes are still not fully understood and the existing knowledge is thus insufficient to face the challenges posed by the Anthropocene. We critically analyze potential biotic and abiotic drivers of population dynamics of an exemplary species, the European spruce bark beetle (ESBB) (Ips typographus) and present a multivariate approach that integrates the many drivers governing this bark beetle system. We call for hypothesis-driven, large-scale collaborative research efforts to improve our understanding of the population dynamics of this and other bark beetle pests. Our approach can serve as a blueprint for tackling other eruptive forest insects
Secure-by-Design Enterprise Architectures and Business Processes in Supply Chains. Handling Threats from Physical Transport Goods in Parcel Mail Services
Supply chain security encompasses measures preventing theft, smuggling, and sabotage through heightened awareness, enhanced visibility, and increased transparency. This necessitates the adoption of a security-by-design paradigm to achieve effective and efficient security measures, yielding additional benefits such as diminished supply chain costs. Given their vulnerability, transportation and logistics service providers play a pivotal role in supply chain security. This thesis leverages systems security engineering and security-by-design to provide a methodology for designing and evaluating security measures for physical transport goods. It formulates nine principles that define security-by-design and establishes a supply chain security framework. An adaptation of the TOGAF architecture development facilitates the creation of secure-by-design enterprise architectures. Security measures are documented using security-enhanced processes based on BPMN. This enables an analysis and compliance assessment to ascertain the alignment of security with business objectives and the adequate implementation of requirements. The culmination of these efforts is exemplified through a case study.
The Impact of Automatic Store Replenishment on Retail
Drawing on several interviews and a comprehensive statistical analysis, Alfred Angerer proves the effectiveness of such ASR systems. The following questions are adressed: Which types of ASR system exist? What are the exact benefits of ASR systems? Which variables influence the ASR performance? Which ASR system is best suited for each product? How does a company best implement ASR systems?
Cross-Business Synergies
Sebastian Knoll suggests that the successful realization of growth synergies is associated with a selective focus on specific growth opportunities, decentralized cross-business collaboration that motivates productive business unit self-interest, and a corporate management approach that guides and balances this self-interest in an evolutionary fashion.
Dynamics in Logistics
Logistic problems can rarely be solved satisfyingly within one single scientific discipline. This cross-sectional character is taken into account by the Research Cluster for Dynamics in Logistics with a combination of economical, information and production technical and enterprise-oriented research approaches. In doing so, the interdisciplinary cooperation between university, research institutes and enterprises for the solution of logistic problems is encouraged. This book comprises the edited proceedings of the first International Conference on Dynamics in Logistics LDIC 2007. The scope of the conference was concerned with the identification, analysis, and description of the dynamics of log...
Corporate Supply Chain Management Organization and Governance
Within companies, supply chain management (SCM) focuses on aligning the activities of business functions involved in material, information and financial flows from material sourcing to product distribution along SCM processes. Generally, firms have implemented SCM processes on local levels. Corporate SCM aims at aligning all similar SCM processes on a corporate level that were previously run independently on a smaller scale on diverse local levels individually. Benefits are a fast implementation of global best practices and economies of scale through the streamlining of tasks. At the same time, external relationships with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders require local adaptation o...
Družbena in identitetna mobilnost v slovenskem prostoru med poznim srednjim vekom in 20. stoletjem
»Družbena mobilnost« je koncept, ki slovenskemu zgodovinopisju ni neznan, vendar je bil doslej razmeroma redko in parcialno uporabljen. Med problemsko izrazito zanemarjene vidike sodijo družbena mobilnost v času več generacij, razmerja med individualno in skupinsko mobilnostjo ter gibanje posameznikov in skupin po družbeni lestvici navzdol. Predmet pričujoče monografije so pojavi in procesi, ki spremljajo ali so sestavni del daljnosežnih družbenih premikov. V opredelitvi »družbena in identitetna mobilnost« so v grobem zajeti trije temeljni elementi: 1) mobilnost posameznikov, skupnosti in skupin na družbeni lestvici v krajšem in daljšem časovnem izseku, 2) spremembe v njihovi identiteti, ki so z družbeno mobilnostjo neposredno ali posredno povezane, in 3) mobilnost kolektivnih identitet, ugotovljiva skozi daljša časovna obdobja. Vse tri naštete elemente vključuje tudi t. i. konfesionalna mobilnost (spreminjanje konfesionalne pripadnosti), ki ima svoje specifičnosti, a je hkrati neredko tesno povezana z družbeno oziroma z identitetno mobilnostjo ter z vprašanjem konfesionalne identitete kot take.
