The Future of Management Control is Fair
The design of Management Control Systems (MCS) in the context of financial institutions should be reconsidered with regards to their ability to improve organizational justice perceptions. Promoting organizational justice can help banks to build significantly more trust and influence employees’ behaviors in the best interest of the organization. Especially the design of Beyond Budgeting as a MCS that emphasizes social control mechanisms and facilitates autonomous working appears to be a promising concept for the design of future MCS in the context of financial institutions.

Evolution of Non-Expected Utility Preferences
The theory on the evolution of preferences deals with the endogenous formation of preference relations in strategic situations. It is related to the field of evolutionary game theory. In this book we analyze the role and the influence of general, possibly non-expected utility preferences in such an evolutionary setup. In particular, we demonstrate that preferences which diverge from von Neumann-Morgenstern expected utility may potentially prove to be successful under evolutionary pressures.
Pension Systems, Demographic Change, and the Stock Market
Due to the accelerating demographic change of the population the reform of the existing pension systems constitutes one of the greatest political challenges in most European countries. A theoretical discussion of different pension reforms must incorporate not only the demographic aspect but also the role of financial market risk and the impact on production and employment. These notes develop a dynamic macroeconomic model which incorporates these aspects within a flexible theoretical framework. The proposed approach provides a large scale population model and features a sound description of the production side as well as of the financial side of the economy and their interactions with the pension system. Within this framework various adjustment policies of the pension system are studied under different population scenarios. The consequences for the economy and the welfare of consumers are analyzed and compared.
Ortner & Ortner
The buildings and projects created by Austrian architects, Laurids and Manfred Ortner, over the last 30 years form the very basis for this primer of architecture which is simultaneously the first comprehensive documentation of their work. In the form of a glossary, headwords provide the framework for textual interpretation and visual illustration of all aspects of the architects' work. This rather unconventional approach has produced a publication which has not just documentary value for Ortner & Ortner's architectural language but is also a reflection on the topic of building as art in a more widely applicable context. The contrasting perspectives of the authors provide a stimulating analysis of an architectural oeuvre which ranks among the most enigmatic in contemporary architecture.
Anna Halprin
Anna Halprin is a world-famous theatre artist and early pioneer in the expressive arts healing movement. This book explores her personal growth as a dancer and choreographer and the development of her therapeutic and pedagogical approach. The authors, who each trained with Halprin, introduce her creative work and the 'Life/Art Process®' she developed, an approach that takes life experiences as a source for artistic expression. They also examine the wider impact of Halprin's work on the fields of art, education, therapy and political action and discuss how she crossed the conventionally defined boundaries between them. Exploring Halprin's belief that dance can be a powerful force for transformation, healing, education, and making our lives whole, this book is a tribute to an exceptional body of artistic and therapeutic work and will be of interest to expressive arts therapists, dance movement psychotherapists, dancers, performance and community artists, and anyone with an interest in contemporary dance.
The Lipid Research Clinics Population Studies Data Book
The Lipid Research Clinics have the following main objectives: to evaluate current techniques for diagnosis of hyperlipoproteinemia; to acquire data across all age groups on the prevalence of different types of hyperlipoproteinemia, particualarly genetically determined forms; to collect high-quality data on the prevalence and incidence of atherosclerosis in different patterns of hyperlipoproteinemia; and to improve methods for detection, diagnosis and medical care of coronary heart disease. This study, along with its companion studies (the family study and the mortality follow-up study) seeks to provide improved information on the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and hyperlipoproteinemia, their determinants and sequelae.
Rotterdam Dialogues
This book juxtaposes three distinct agents in the art world - the critics, curators and artists of its title - adopting the conversational form of three large-scale symposia that took place at Witte de With, Center for Contemporary Art, in the fall of 2008 and the spring of 2009. In addition to transcripts from selected dialogues and the outcomes of three guest-led workshops, it also contains spirited contributions that arrived from many of the participants in the months that followed the 'Rotterdam dialogues' opening another dimension of the discussions held in front of a large audience. At stake here are questions of cultural agency, audience and production, ranging from the concrete to the speculative.
