Capacity Options for Revenue Management
This book proposes capacity options as a flexible alternative air cargo contract type, and illustrates how capacity can be priced through option contracts. The analysis is accomplished by means of an analytical multivariate optimization model under price and demand uncertainty. A case study using data from a leading German carrier illustrates the financial potential. Finally, the author shows how capacity-option contracts integrate into the context of air cargo revenue management.
Management Competence
Eight years ago, the production management department ofthe WHU launched the industry competition ,Best Factory / Industrial Excellence Award' jointly with the media partner Wirtschaftswoche in Germany. Two years earlier, the competition had been initiated successfully by INSEAD faculty in France.

What does "excellent manufacturing management" mean? Management texts to date have emphasized that it is, above methods such as SPC or TQM, a matter of "intangibles" and "culture". This book takes the myth out of management excellence; it can be learned and practiced.

And secondly, pay attention to the dimension of management quality, direction setting, integration and delegation, communication, participation, measurement, and employee development. This book explains management quality and demonstrates how it is implemented, with ten plant tours through world-class factories from different industries.

Portfolios of real options typica...
Capacity Reservation for Capital-intensive Technologies
Arguably the central problem in operations research and management science (OR/MS) addressed by e-Business is better coordination of supply and de mand, including price discovery and reduction of transactions costs of buyer seller interactions. In capital-intensive industries like chemicals and steel, the out-of-pocket costs of excess capacity and the opportunity costs of underuti lized capacity have been important factors driving the growth of exchanges for improving demand and supply coordination through e-Business platforms. Stefan Spinler addresses in his dissertation one of the most interesting aspects of this evolution for OR/MS, the parallel development of long-term and short-term mar...

Der Umsatz der 50 größten Medienkonzerne der Welt hat sich in den vergangenen fünf Jahren erneut verdoppelt. Ihre Macht ist so groß wie nie zuvor: Medienunternehmen beeinflussen politische Berichterstattung und produzieren in Zeiten der "Streaming Wars" eine nie dagewesene Fülle von Content; sie entscheiden über die Platzierung von Suchergebnissen, sammeln persönliche Daten und vermarkten Benutzerprofile; sie entführen Milliarden von Menschen in immer komplexere virtuelle Spielwelten, bewerten die Kreditwürdigkeit von Staaten und kontrollieren akademische Fachzeitschriften.
