Behavior in Foreign Languages
Working and interacting in foreign languages is widespread. While the relationship between language and behavior has been discussed for many years, empirical evidence for behavioral effects of foreign language use is surprisingly scarce. Stefan Nothelfer has conducted a series of laboratory studies to investigate and disentangle effects of language and culture on creativity and cooperation, important behavioral foundations of innovation. He draws insights from a large cross-country dataset with pairings between three languages, using a custom-built mobile laboratory. The author’s findings challenge theories of linguistic relativity, foreign language effects, and cultural accommodation, and enrich the empirical basis for fundamental research on language and behavior.
New Perspectives on Supply and Distribution Chain Financing: Case Studies from China and Europe
Globalization no longer means simply finding low-cost countries for sourcing, but has involved to include the opportunity for growth in Asia’s emerging domestic markets, specifically China. This development results in extended, truly global supply chains and thus places a higher pressure on working capital. Therefore, several definitions of Supply Chain Management already encompass financial aspects and demand a more integrated consideration of material, information, and financial flows within supply chains. However, more precise theory on “Supply Chain Financing” is understudied and initial implementation of related solutions in industry has only gained momentum during and after the e...
Incentives for Collaboration and Competition
Individuals and firms can improve their performance through collaboration and competition. However, it is still an open question how collaboration and competition schemes can be optimally designed and incentivized in order to exploit their full potential. Jonas Heite investigates this question by assessing efforts to stimulate R&D collaboration and by examining properties as well as underlying mechanisms (e.g., effort, risk, confidence and stress) of ability configurations in contests. Based on three large-scale economic studies covering laboratory, field and natural experiments, the author applies novel and sophisticated econometric methods to provide causal empirical evidence that yields important implications for policymakers, managers and researchers.
Designing for Interaction on Mobile Devices
Digital technology has fundamentally changed the way humans interact with objects. As a consequence, the focus of product development and design processes has been shifting away from creating physical objects towards designing for interaction with digital objects. Touch-based mobile devices such as smartphones and tablet computers play an essential role in this shift of design paradigms. This cumulative dissertation consists of four essays. First, we provide a holistic overview of research from multiple disciplines on the topic of exploring products through digital touch. Second, we focus on the product perspective and develop a tool that helps organizations to quantify, visualize, and commu...

Stefan Zweig and World Literature
A new critical assessment of the works of the Austrian-Jewish author, in whom there has been a recent resurgence of interest, from the perspective of world literature.
Die Etrusker
Die Etrusker umgibt noch immer eine geheimnisvolle Aura, auch nach Jahrhunderten der Etruskologie bleibt so manches unentschlüsselt. Zwar hat die Archäologie unser Wissen über etruskische Orte in Mittel- und Oberitalien bereichert. Dies zeigen exemplarisch die Forschungen in der bedeutenden Etruskerstadt Vulci in Latium, wo man großartige Kunstwerke wie die Silberhände oder Wandmalereien in Grabkammern fand. Ein großes Mysterium ist aber nach wie vor die nur teilweise verständliche etruskische Sprache. Der Einfluss der Etrusker strahlte weit über Italien hinaus nach Norden über die Alpen: So gelangten wertvolle etruskische Gegenstände als Grabbeigaben in reich ausgestattete keltische Gräber Süddeutschlands. Bis nach Bayern reicht auch das Siedlungsgebiet der Räter mit ihren Felsinschriften in den Ammergauer Alpen. Die Sprache dieses Alpenvolks ist, wie man heute weiß, mit dem Etruskischen verwandt.
