The Concept Contractual Management offers a holistic approach to managerial decision-making based on contracts or business processes that are related to contracts.

AI appears to disrupt key private law doctrines, and threatens to undermine some of the principal rights protected by private law. The social changes prompted by AI may also generate significant new challenges for private law. It is thus likely that AI will lead to new developments in private law. This Cambridge Handbook is the first dedicated treatment of the interface between AI and private law, and the challenges that AI poses for private law. This Handbook brings together a global team of private law experts and computer scientists to deal with this problem, and to examine the interface between private law and AI, which includes issues such as whether existing private law can address the challenges of AI and whether and how private law needs to be reformed to reduce the risks of AI while retaining its benefits.
Projekte erfassen alle Lebensbereiche. Ist unsere Gesellschaft auf dem Weg in eine Projektgesellschaft? Dieser Sammelband zeigt Wegmarkierungen aus interdisziplinärer Sicht mit besonderem Blick auf die Exit-Frage. Weil «Exit matters», wird schon die Vorbereitung eines Projektes vom Ende beeinflusst und prägt seinen Verlauf. Das gilt für unterschiedlichste Projektformen in der Wirtschaft, im privaten wie im öffentlichen Leben.

Der Sammelband verbindet ökonomische, soziologische und rechtliche Aspekte zu einer balancierten Diversität und öffnet über Fachgrenzen hinweg neue Sichtachsen, die eine übergreifende Projektdynamik zeigen.
Business networks consist of several independent businesses that enter into interrelated contracts, conferring on the parties many of the benefits of co-ordination achieved through vertical integration in a single firm, without creating a single integrated business such as a corporation or partnership. Retail franchises are one such example of a network, but the most common instance is a credit card transaction between a customer, retailer, and the issuer of the card. How should the law analyse this hybrid economic phenomenon? It is neither exactly a market relationship - because that overlooks the co-ordination, relational qualities and interdependence of the contracts - nor is it a type of...
