The Usage of System Dynamics in Organizational Interventions
Birgitte Snabe analyzes how system dynamics modeling can be used in learning processes that focus on the transfer of the insights and reasoning behind a strategy forming process. In a second step, she shows how it can support the refining of implementation plans. A case study in action research tradition completes the theoretical discussions. Its subject is the building up of a large international company’s R&D resources in low-cost countries.

Works Councils
As the influence of labor unions declines in many industrialized nations, particularly the United States, the influence of workers has decreased. Because of the need for greater involvement of workers in changing production systems, as well as frustration with existing structures of workplace regulation, the search has begun for new ways of providing a voice for workers outside the traditional collective bargaining relationship. Works councils—institutionalized bodies for representative communication between an employer and employees in a single workplace—are rare in the Anglo-American world, but are well-established in other industrialized countries. The contributors to this volume surv...
Growing Brands Through Sponsorship
Philip Gross addresses a new opportunity for growing brands that may reside within a sponsorship alliance. Typically, brands vie for image transfer from an event or other property when entering a sponsorship engagement. Yet this practice leaves a valuable part of a sponsorship alliance unexploited. Specifically, the author infers from theories of social and cognitive psychology to propose and test a research model that accounts for a sponsor to also gain from brand attitude and personality traits innately tied to a co‐sponsor of the same event. The results provide evidence for direct image transfer between two sponsor brands. Hence, pairing with a co‐sponsor might fortify or dilute a sponsor brand's image depending on the expediency of the image conveyed by that ally.
Zielvereinbarungen im Arbeitsverh„ltnis im Hinblick auf variable Vergtungsbestandteile
Viele Arbeitgeber in Deutschland denken ber eine Umstrukturierung Ihrer Entgeltsysteme nach, um die Personalkosten marktf higer und unternehmensgerechter gestalten zu k nnen. Aus Unternehmersicht w re eine Verg tung w nschenswert, die st rker an der pers nlichen Leistung des einzelnen Mitarbeiters und an der Wirtschaftskraft des jeweiligen Unternehmens ausgerichtet ist.

Allerdings gibt es hinsichtlich der Implementierung eines solchen Konzeptes in der Praxis noch eine Vielzahl offener Fragen. Welche M glichkeiten hat der Arbeitgeber berha...
Quality Circle und Lernstatt
Unternehmungen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, die vor der Einführung von Kleingruppenarbeit stehen, stellt sich im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen industriali sierten Ländern in Europa und den USA die Frage nach dem "passenden" oder "richtigen" Konzept. Denn während inzwischen weltweit die Kleingruppenaktivitä ten durch die von Japan ausgehenden Quality Circles bestimmt werden, wurde hier bei der seit 1980 aufgekommenen Diskussion um Qualitätszirkel auch das zehn Jahre eher entwickelte Konzept der Lernstatt wiederentdeckt. Die Unternehmun gen stehen damit unter einem Entscheidungszwang: Entweder können sie den (ursprünglich japanischen) Quality Circle oder aber die (originär deutsche...
