Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The impact of health policy and planning are tremendous remedies through which the health care systems derive their primary potentials in the health promotion ventures and interventions. The programs designed in the health arena are tentatively equivocal and submissive to the implications influenced by the policy development criteria and much more open to the planning process. Every day, healthcare organizations are faced with crucial decisions about improving their systems of care and a lack of critical information to guide them. The research they need should be designed to help them provide better care to the patients in their organization, effectively and efficiently. Where does the Medicaid and the medical care strategies, as pursued in the United States of America, have their remedies through policy structure and together with the political culture associated to the system, or perhaps how possible is it that japan has the highest life expectancy co-efficient. The book is more of a fact file as results were generated by the health care research from suitable sectors and comparisons derived from the well-off health care states mainly from the OECD fraternity, as these bare differences due to policy even when their economic bases differ by small percentages. This work should be helpful in directing and providing us with traceable landmarks to follow while seeking to avert the challenges that weaponize the communicable disease prevalence in the society for both the developed and the low developed states. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For virtually all of the 20th century, the paradigm in marketing was founded on early economic thoughts, making goods and exchanges the focal point of economic research and practice. In the 1980s and 1990s, scholars called for a paradigm shift, but did not deliver clear directives on how to move forward. It was not before 2004 when Stephen L. Vargo and Robert F. Lusch published their award-winning article Evolving to a New Dominant Logic for Marketing in the Journal of Marketing, dealing with a potentially new paradigm for marketing. The publication has caused a lot of discussions, crowned by a collection of essays from more than 50 scholars in 2006. This book aims at looking into the reactions and discussions regarding the proposed service-dominant logic in more detail. So far, no comprehensive overview of the existing literature has yet been made. This book will introduce the basic ideas of the service-dominant logic, followed by a detailed state-of-literature. The last part of the book will examine whether the concepts of a service-dominant logic display similarities with concepts of B2B marketing and whether they could successfully be adopted in B2B markets. 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Existentialism represents a protest against the rationalism of traditional philosophy, against misleading notions of the bourgeois culture, and the dehumanizing values of industrial civilization. Since alienation, loneliness and self-estrangement constitute threats to human personality in the modern world, existential thought has viewed as its cardinal concerns a quest for subjective truth, a reaction against the negation of Being and a perennial search for freedom. From the ancient Greek philosopher, Socrates, to the twentieth century French philosopher, Jean Paul Sartre, and other thinkers have dealt with this tragic sense of ontological reality - the human situation within a comic contextThe book put forward is the beginning of an attempt to revive existentialism by addressing these issues. The idea is eventually to present a conception of personhood that is recognizably existentialist, or similar to that presented by writers like Kierkegaard, Heidegger, Jaspers, and Sartre in certain fundamental ways, but that takes into account the last twenty years of developments in the many different areas of philosophy that directly affect our understanding of what it is to be a person. The result will hopefully be a more sophisticated existentialist theory of personhood that can be presented in contemporary terms as a serious challenge to current dogmas in metaphysics and moral theory, and be defended against the ascendant naturalistic, rationalistic, or pragmatist alternatives. 216 pp. Englisch.
