"During the last decade, sector wide crises in agriculture have rapidly followed each other, resulting in serious consumer concerns about the quality and safety of agri-food products. To prevent new crises, governments have developed quality regulations and retailers have introduced quality management standards. However, concerns have been raised about the administrative burdens placed on firms, because they must comply with many private and public quality regulations. Therefore, both government and firms strive for more integration and self regulation of quality management systems. By combining managerial and economic theory, this study builds a framework to demonstrate the impact of integr...
"Companies in food- and agribusiness chains and networks are facing ever-faster changes in the business environment, to which they must respond through continuous innovation. Societal concerns regarding animal welfare and environmental issues have to be met in a very competitive, increasingly global environment. The growing concern of consumers regarding the quality, traceability and environmental friendliness of products and processes call for fundamentally new ways of developing, producing and marketing products. New ways of organizing food supply networks, with new ties between firms and even between formerly separate sectors -such as the health and the food sector- are needed to cope with these new demands. This publication focusses on the dynamic response to these changes in chains and networks. Important topics include among others: critical success factors for design and control of innovative chains and networks, globalization of the business environment, effects of institutional and policy change, governance structures, technologies for managing interaction and design of information architectures for chains and networks."
Innovation managers and innovation scholars increasingly emphasize the open innovation model, introduced by Henry Chesbrough in 2003. This model postulates that the innovation process should be flexible and cross organizational boundaries, which enables the transfer of knowledge and capabilities between organizations. However, until now, it remained unclear which types of firms apply open innovation, whether it realy raises their performance, and how this can be managed in the best way. This book addresses the important issue how innovative firms profit from external knowledge to improve their innovation performance. Using large scale empirical evidence from the Dutch industry, this book sho...
In this latest addition to the War & Conflict Through the Ages series, Brian Sandberg offers a truly global examination of the intersections between war, culture, and society in the early modern period. He traces the innovative military technologies and practices that emerged around 1500, exploring the different forms of warfare including dynastic war, religious warfare, raiding warfare, and peasant revolt that shaped conflicts during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He explains how significant social, economic, and political developments transformed warfare on land and at sea at a time of global imperialism and growing mercantilism, forcing states and military systems to respond to rapidly changing situations. Engaging and insightful, War and Conflict in the Early Modern World will appeal to scholars and students of world history, the early modern period, and those interested in the broader relationship between war and society.
Carolin Höhlein untersucht vor dem Hintergrund steigender Antibiotikaresistenzen und der damit verbundenen Notwendigkeit der Reduktion der Einsatzmengen nationale veterinärmedizinische Minimierungskonzepte und prüft deren potentielle Treffsicherheit sowie auftretende Nebenwirkungen. Schwerpunkt ihrer Analyse gilt dem in Deutschland verankerten Steuerungsansatz und der 16. Novellierung des Arzneimittelgesetzes (16. AMG Novelle) im Rahmen der Deutschen Antibiotika-Resistenzstrategie (DART). Untersucht werden gleichsam die in Dänemark und den Niederlanden erlassenen Steuerungsansätze. Dabei wird deutlich, dass tiergesundheitliche Aspekte stärker als bisher bei der Entwicklung weiterer Policies mit berücksichtigt werdenmüssen.

Het Veluwse dorp Hoevelaken kent een lange geschiedenis. In het jaar 1132 gaf de bisschop van Utrecht een ontginningsconcessie uit voor dit gebied. Dat document markeert het begin van de omvorming van toen ‘onbebouwd en onnut’ land, tot nu een welvarend woondorp. Tot de Franse Tijd was Hoevelaken één van de weinige heerlijkheden op de Veluwe en kende een vrij grote bestuurlijke autonomie. De opvolgende adellijke families die eigenaar waren van de heerlijkheid hebben een groot stempel op het dorpsleven gezet. Zowel in bestuurlijk als kerkelijk opzicht was hun invloed verstrekkend. Na de komst van het koninkrijk veranderde in dat opzicht in de 19e eeuw feitelijk nog niet veel. Pas in de 20e eeuw verdween de feodale sfeer in het dorp. In de tweede helft van die eeuw is het agrarische karakter in een rap tempo verdwenen. In dit boek geeft Aart Veldhuizen een inkijkje in de geschiedenis van de ontginning van het dorp, de families die eigenaar waren van de heerlijkheid, het bestuur, de godsdienstige situatie en de agrarische samenleving. Al wandelend over de lange dorpsstraat vertelt hij over de boeren en burgers die in de loop van de eeuwen daar in voor- en tegenspoed leefden.
The claim that God is timeless has been the majority view throughout church history. However, it is not obvious that divine timelessness is compatible with fundamental Christian doctrines such as creation and incarnation. Theologians have long been aware of the conflict between divine timelessness and Christian doctrine, and various solutions to these conflicts have been developed. In contemporary thought, it is widely agreed that new theories on the nature of time can further help solve these conflicts. Do these solutions actually solve the conflict? Can the Christian God be timeless? The End of the Timeless God sets forth a thorough investigation into the Christian understanding of God and the God-world relationship. It argues that the Christian God cannot be timeless.
