Dies ist die Geschichte meines Lebens im deutschen industriell-universitären System. Es ist eine Geschichte, die maßgeblich durch mein Habilitationsverfahren an der Universität Erlangen im Sommer 1990 geprägt wurde, und die kein vernünftig denkender Mensch jemals so für möglich halten würde. Dennoch ist es die Wirklichkeit, wie die vielen in diesem Buch gezeigten authentischen Dokumente beweisen. Somit ermöglicht dieses Buch dem Leser auf der Grundlage meiner über 30-jährigen Erfahrung als Ingenieur und Fachgruppenleiter in der Industrieforschung, sowie als Professor einen atemberaubenden Einblick in die der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung gänzlich verborgenen Praktiken in der Industrie und an den Universitäten und Hochschulen, sowie deren individueller Verzahnung, auch mit dem Rechtssystem dieses Staates.

Have you ever wondered why even large companies fail when faced with changes in their environment? Would you be surprised to learn that the average life expectancy of a Fortune 500 company is below 50 years? This book presents findings from 19 case studies in multinational companies such as Siemens, Volkwagen, General Electric, Philips and Deutsche Telekom. René Rohrbeck proposes a Maturity Model to assess how prepared a company is to respond to external (disruptive) change. He uses data from 107 interviews with board members, corporate strategists, innovation managers, and corporate foresight professionals to present and discuss best practices. Using illustrations to show the complex interaction of corporate foresight with other units such as innovation and strategic management, René Rohrbeck provides the reader with rich insights on how to make an organization agile and reactive towards change. For scholars this book proposes multiple hypotheses and frameworks for future research.
The Interactive Atlas of Transesophageal Color Doppler Echocardiography is a new multimedia application that provides a powerful educational tool in transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). This electronic manual of TEE introduces the cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthesists and internists to the diagnostic possibilities of this new technique and enables them to recognize and diagnose a wide range of acquired congenital heart diseases. The CD-ROM includes 505 high-quality echocardiographic figures and 136 movies, i.e. digitally recorded video sequences, showing real echocardiographic examinations and a randomized self-test function. Following the success of the Macintosh version (14179-0) this electronic version of the Atlas of TEE (57938-9) is now available for PC/Windows and Macintosh on one CD-ROM.
