Verleger und Verlagspolitik
'Verleger wurden lange nur als Geschäftsleute und Wissenschaftsverlage vorwiegend als Dienstleister angesehen. Die in der Forschung mittlerweile offenkundige Steuerungs- und Selektionsrolle von Verlagen ist dagegen für Wissenschaftsverlage erst in jüngerer Forschung beleuchtet worden. Bislang kaum untersucht sind dagegen die Interdependenzen und Interferenzen in einem Wissenschaftsverlag sowie die individuellen Einflüsse der verschiedenen Akteure. Die Arbeit analysiert diese Aspekte anhand der Verlagspolitik im Wissenschaftsverlag R. Oldenbourg. Von der stärkeren Profilierung um 1900, dem elitären Selbstbewusstsein gepaart mit dem Selbstverständnis des Geschäftsmanns und Kulturschaffenden, über die Neubestimmung in den Weimarer Jahren bis hin zur nur bedingt erfolgreichen 'Selbstgleichschaltung' nach 1933 werden dem Wirken der Verleger scharfe Konturen verliehen. Das Buch zeigt detailreich die Geschichte des Verlagshauses und bietet fruchtbare Anschlüsse für die Buchhandelsgeschichte und die Wissenschaftshistoriographie insgesamt. '

Performance Measurement and Incentive Systems in Purchasing
In recent years, purchasing performance measurement have steadily gained in importance in theory and practice. Yet, in many cases, the focus still remains on cost items, especially savings. Moreover, reported performance ratios in purchasing are frequently called into question in terms of their amount and efficacy. Most of the time, there is no tie-in at all with staff compensations. To meet these and other challenges, this book presents a holistic approach for purchasing performance measurement and the incentive systems associated with it. The following topics are dealt with in detail: • Purchasing performance measurement on the level of commodity groups and the procurement organization ...
NATO and the Baltic Approaches 1949–1989
The theme of the book is the creation of tactics for littoral warfare – as opposed to the more common blue ocean perspective. Themes are how NATO perceived the goals of the enemy; the purposes of the NATO organisations, the military instruments they had to organise, the organization of cooperation among units from sovereign states, and how they tested their military capabilities. Research is based on war plans and tactics of the Danish and West German navies and their planned support from air forces. We follow the modernisations of the navies from guns to missiles. Tactical discussions among military top offi cers are laid bare, and intelligence reports about the Warsaw Pact and its military capabilities are presented. Exercises are analysed based on the military reports.

Global Social Democracy
This is first book in English dealing with the history of the Socialist International—the international alliance of social democratic parties—during the presidency of former German Chancellor Willy Brandt from 1976–1992. This book is based on thorough studies in numerous European and Latin American archives. It tries to avoid a Eurocentric view, giving equal importance to the Latin American and the European actors. It takes a fresh look at party diplomacy, a new kind of international diplomacy that was introduced by Willy Brandt in the field of international relations in the 1970s and 1980s. This study brings new insights in European as well as Latin American history of this time. It has a special focus on the role of Social Democrats (European as well as Latin American) in the civil wars in El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 1980s, and on its repercussions on domestic policies in Germany, Venezuela etc., and on the relations of those countries with the U.S. government.
First-Time-Right Procurement
Based on more than 10 years of practical experience in the field of supply chain management, Oliver Münch indicates that in favor of sustainability within the supply chain the paradox purchasing savings can and should be substituted with the approach of the First-Time-Right Procurement. This dissertation subjects the monetary measurement of purchasing savings to a critical examination and questions whether it still applies. It indicates that monetary purchasing savings exert a negative impact on sustainable company success. In order to achieve a long-term sustainable success, it is proposed that the monetary measurement of purchasing savings can be replaced by measuring process times within the procurement organization.
Principles of Management
This textbook presents an overview of how the activities of an organisation can be managed to satisfy the needs of stakeholders through the cost effective, operationally efficient and sustainable transformation of resources into outputs. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the authors show the relationship between management and economics and within this framework present the key areas of management activity. The book explains the connections between these areas and provides tools and instruments for successful management. The book's approach and content is relevant for all kinds of organisation - private or public sector, service or manufacturing, non-profit, large or small. Each chapter provides cases to illustrate what has been discussed and some questions to test comprehension. Throughout the book is a continuing project in which the reader is put in the position of owning their own business and must think and make decisions about what the chapter has discussed. The book combines Anglo-American and German approaches to management and management studies, making it a valuable resource both for those who are studying management and those who are working as managers.
