Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the age of globalization, the management of international assignments is becoming central to both the competitive advantage of organizations and the mission of international human resource managers (IHRM). Managing international talent grows in importance; and so it does the interest in issues of cultural differences, expatriation and cross-cultural adjustment. This book, therefore, provides new insights on the organizational factors affecting the adjustment, satisfaction and withdrawal intentions of international employees. Two distinct and separate studies, involving expatriates and repatriates, explore the antecedents and outcomes of cross- cultural adjustment. The analyses show organizational culture affects cross-cultural adjustment, general assignment satisfaction, and withdrawal intentions; and yet, adjustment does not influence general satisfaction with the assignment. Besides, expatriates'' satisfaction with the assignment predicts withdrawal intentions. Altogether, these results provide new insights on the question of expatriation success, and are especially helpful to International Managers, as to anyone aiming to do an international assignment.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 82 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -While much has been written about Japanese and Chinese tea ritual, Moroccan tea ritual is equally as pervasive and symbolic of Moroccan culture, if not quite as well known. It represents elements of religion, gender differentiation, socio-economics and hospitality that indicate core values by which Moroccans live their daily lives. A relatively recent phenomenon, tea ritual in Morocco is one of the most fundamental food habits practiced by the vast majority of the population. Through examples of personal experiences of the tea ritual, this thesis explores how the ritual embodies these basic tenets of Moroccan culture and suggests ways in which the ritual became such a fundamental part of Moroccan culinary and cultural identity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Two issues are mainly discussed in this book, which currently seem to be under conflict at the EU level: the first one has to do with the fundamental human right of the protection of privacy and more specifically with the aspect of the protection of personal data, while the other is related to the combating against terrorism, namely the issue of security. A complicated situation was emerged, dealing with the different competences that the EU obtains on each field. The question arised is whether the EU can handle effectively the matter, despite the absence of a uniform legal regime at present.Eventually, as it was observed, the European Union managed, through a difficult and time consuming procedure to find its way to handle the issue, despite the existence of the endogenous structural complexities, thus achieving to formulate a new path under which this greatly debated matter will be dealt with thereof.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Businesses are increasingly forced to compete on price rather than on product or service quality, where they have a distinct competitive edge sustained by highly efficient processing and delivery systems. Conventional wisdom suggests businesses to localize their service offering, provide less, and compete on price. Yet in so doing, firms will lose their leading position and worse, tarnish their global brand image. We suggest an alternative route. That is, businesses need to realign internally and externally so as to create innovative strategic space that enables them to avoid vicious price traps and achieve sustainable performance. Through such strategic realignments, businesses can build intimate consumer-brand relationships and enhance their global brand equity with tailored strategies to meet local competition and institutional demands, both winning their battle in China and other emerging markets.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This qualitative study explores the influences of cultural differences on knowledge transfer. In order to do so a theoretical model of the individuals involved in the transfer of knowledge, the knowledge agents, has been developed, extending the classic sender-receiver communication prototype by including the aspects of home and host culture, the level of internationalization and the interconnectedness of different knowledge agents. In a second step the model has been tested by conducting a single case study. It has then been verified along several measurable cultural dimensions that are expected to impact knowledge transfer. The results of the study have shown that the cultural dimensions of power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, long- vs. short-term orientation, speed of communication, high vs. low context, monochronic vs. polychronic time, perception of space, internationalization, cultural openness, perceived cultural distance, and language ability do have a direct or indirect impact on the knowledge transfer process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In today''s consumer driven, throw-away society Green marketing may be seen as an oxymoron where the two terms fundamentally disagree about consumer consumption and habits. Consumers, recognising this conflict of interest, are therefore particularly critical of companies'' Green marketing efforts, making employing strategies and methods difficult and critical to a companies'' success and reputation. This book documents an online exploratory multiple comparative case study of the Green marketing communication strategies of Tesco, The Body Shop and IKEA as per an interpretation of Grant''s (2007) typologies and the effects they have on consumers'' perceptions and opinions. By comparing the findings about each company, new and interesting conclusions are able to be drawn about each company''s Green marketing communications, providing a higher level of consumer and strategy understanding. This book explores a largely undocumented area of Green marketing and is a useful reference for both individuals studying this discipline and companies learning about the possible effects of the strategies they employ.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -aims to open up discussion of a sadly neglected area: the protection of pastoralists in northern Uganda. Pastoralist lives and livelihoods rarely fit neatly into ¿modern¿ structures and legal norms, and attempts to make such communities conform have often led to tragic results. This monograph argues that a different, rights-based, way of thinking about pastoralist participation in society is needed if problems plaguing the region are to be resolved, and also suggests solutions based on the experiences of pastoralists in neighbouring states.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In modern business practice and literature, integrated relationships and arms'' length relationships are viewed as two ends of the industrial relationship structure spectrum that shapes business to business transactions. Though, it is commonly agreed that integrated types of relationships have some unique characteristics that differentiate them from traditional business relations, in various studies it is shown that both relationship structures have some costs and benefits. This book aims to demonstrate how the nature of the relationship structures between suppliers and their industrial buyers affect the business and financial performance of the suppliers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Africa faces a new intensifying quandary of liberation movements. They have thrown all ideals that initially motivated them to fight the malevolent regimes. While some have metamorphosed into democratic political parties, ZANU-PF continues to brandish the colonial card while asserting its will on the masses holding them indebted to it for their ¿liberation.''The book adds to the debate on the role of liberation movements in the furthering of human rights and democratization in Africa by tackling the much ignored perspective of a blocked transition that the movements such as the ZANU-PF are culpable for. It looks at what internal factors (within Zimbabwe) have contributed to this blocked transition, examines how the behaviour or response of Zimbabwe''s regional neighbours (SADC), has been a contributing factor to this dilemma and questions the extent to which the wider African continent been party to this mayhem of the ZANU-PF''s stalled transition. The analysis should be helpful to democratization and liberation movements'' scholars especially in Southern Africa.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Musculoskeletal pain is a common affliction that affects millions worldwide. It not only has a negative impact on an individual''s health but also, has large societal and economic consequences. In 2001, The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor reported a national approximation of 522,528 cases (34%) of all illnesses involving days away from work were attributed to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) (1). Furthermore, the multi-factorial etiology of musculoskeletal disorders and pain, along with the increased reporting of the illness (2) has produced substantial research over the last decade (3). The majority of the studies explore the relationship between work-related psychosocial risk factors associated with the reporting of musculoskeletal disorders and pain. The main objective of this study was to assess the impact on the ability to work, based on both personal and work-related psychosocial factors that may be associated with reported musculoskeletal pain. The current study was a cross-sectional assessment of multi-task GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) employees from four Philadelphia area corporate, manufacturing and two research and developing work-sites.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ethiopia has been implementing a resettlement program, starting from 2003 in different parts of the country by mobilizing people from the drought-prone areas to the relatively unpopulated fertile low land areas. However, when communities relocate from their point of origin to resettlement site, they lose their social capital (mutual support, social networks) and this is especially true in case of women. Social networks have important role in accessing and using technology and play crucial role in facilitating diffusion of technology. So, this book reports the roles of social networks in facilitating or hampering technology diffusion in resettlement areas and has been intended to throw light on the existing formal and informal social networks among re-settlers. This book is expected to contribute to the understanding of social networks which will help design appropriate and relevant interventions by the agricultural research, extension and other development process aiming at benefiting the majority of Ethiopian farmers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the 20th and 21st centuries many governments of developing countries have been lured by tourism as a quick mechanism for development. This has often involved a trade-off between the pursuit of economic wealth and support for the social, cultural and natural environments. The negative impacts of mass tourism in developing countries are countless and well documented. This book outlines how these impacts can be mitigated by the development of community-based tourism. Taking a market segmentation approach, it conceptualises a sustainable ecotrekking industry through the alignment of community and tourists'' needs. Ecotrekking, as a form of community-based tourism, can play a vital role in development if the right market segment is targeted to meet the needs of the community. Generally this ensures a slower rate of development, giving the community time to adjust to the changes that occur at both a socio-cultural and infrastructural level. The book presents a case study of the Kokoda Track, Papua New Guinea to explore these concepts and the results provide a framework for communities and destination managers in developing countries in developing sustainable tourism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the post-colonial and post-communist world nationalism has become a subject of great interest to academics and political commentators alike. This interest has generated by the fact that after the end of the Cold War, nationalism was expected to be replaced by a cosmopolitan world with liberal values. Yet this has proved not to be the case. Globalization and liberalism have not been able to prevent the rise of a new wave of nationalism. The aim of this research is to explore the expressions of new nationalisms in Turkey in the artistic field and the political messages disseminated by the new nationalist films, TV series, and books. Among many of the new nationalist cultural products, Kurtlar Vadisi has been chosen as the object of a case study because of its enormous popularity. The distinctive features of Kurtlar Vadisi such as mistrust of state authorities, heroism, excessive use of violence, masculinity, variety of enemies and reliance on conspiracy theories can also be considered the basic characteristics of new-nationalism. The overall goal is to arrive at a conceptualization of the new nationalism as a popular art phenomenon in Turkey.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Within the scope of the underlying international relations, norms and practices, this book examines the February-March 1999 Rambouillet Peace Conference on Kosovo. As the Kosovo problem is deep- rooted in history, the book initially deals with the historical background, in a search of the chronological contest of the crisis. It also examines legality and legitimacy of the intervention, while essentially focusing on the context of the humanitarian intervention regime. The book analyzes in some length the conference itself, the reason why it was deemed the last attempt at peace and the way it added legitimacy to the intervention. It also explores the causes of the failure of the conference and the subsequent events, while concluding that the enforcement of a global human rights order is possible, even as NATO powers were not enthusiastic about it.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The rule of law is essential to international society just as it is to domestic order, but it is much more difficult to achieve on the international level. The fields of International Relations and International Law have engaged relatively little with one another. The interdisciplinary research demonstrates a number of contemporary trends that are often ill-addressed by scholars of either field including the increased importance of non-state actors and the ramifications of state weakness and state illegitimacy. A new paradigm of international relations is needed to be created ¿based on international law¿. Through the angle of international law, the author tries to reflect the main arguments of the various theoretical approaches in international relations, and also calls for an interdisciplinary collaborated research agenda to address the contemporary international problems and build a global order in the globalized world of the 21st century. The analysis should shed some light on the trend of the ongoing interdisciplinary discussion between International Relations and International Law.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The National Outlook and Its Youth: According to some academics, the modern centre in Turkey is represented by Kemalism while the periphery is by political Islam. This book examines the Islamist politics of the 1970s in Turkey, focusing on the National Outlook movement and its youth organization, the Raiders. The book argues that the debate on Islam''s relation with modernity tends to essentialize the phenomenon of political Islam while what determines the nature of Islamist movements is not Islam itself but the socio-historical contexts they emerge in. It is said that the National Outlook conveyed the peripheral groups to the center, thus contributing to democratic development; yet, it is neglected that the movement''s elites had close ties to the secular center and adopted the target of creating a homogenous-modern nation. And the movement was not free of internal conflicts. On the other hand, the book shows that the Raiders'' aim was not to self-integrate to but to conquer the center, which resulted in the controversies between them and the headquarters of the National Outlook. This book should help those dealing with the phenomenon of political Islam and its relation to democracy.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study was carried out in Aweil West/North Counties of North Bahr el Ghazal State in South Sudan. It sought to establish the main local natural resource endowments, their utilization particularly in response to food insecurity, constraining factors and impacts on sustainability. The protracted conflict in South Sudan resulted in the loss of household assets and displacements, and subsequent widespread incidences of food insecurity. Results showed that loss of key livelihood capitals forced households to develop and adopt copping strategies by diversifying their livelihoods onto the local natural resource endowments. Many constraints were encountered, some of which are potential challenges on the sustainability of these resources. Intervention support from international agencies enhanced the process of livelihoods transitions. From this study; livestock, land,rivers and forest are the main local natural resource endowments for this community; livestock being the major one. Loss of livestock resulted in livelihood diversification in which crop production emerged as the leading livelihood, but constraining factors limited households from deriving maximum benefits.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

In terms of urban design, architecture, character, heritage, urban amenity facadism is now a practical option for establishing a healthy and lively space that has a clear connection to the individuals that use it. These benfits are somewhat debated in planning and development circles and it can be seen as a part time tokenism approach to asertaining long-term benefits. Urban design is now an integral part of the City of Adelaide. The council spent great deals of money on attracting people towards using public open space and urban areas.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The objective of this dissertation is to explore, via simulations, the effect of correlation in the preference lists on the aggregate satisfaction of the participants in the marriage matching model and the roommates problem. In the first chapter, a general methodology is presented to introduce correlation in the preference lists that can be used in any kind of matching market. The second chapter focuses on the simplest two-sided and one-to-one matching market, that is, a marriage matching model, using the men-propose Gale and Shapley algorithm.

Neuware -To better understand the emotional and behavioural problems of immigrant children, it is important to look beyond the children''s family demographics and to assess the broader social context. This book explores the effects of immigrant children''s social relationships within families and peer groups, as well as the effects of their demographic backgrounds, on the children''s behavioural problems. The findings indicate that immigrant children''s relationships with both parents and peers were the most significant predictor of specific behaviour problems. Some demographic factors were also found to influence behavioural problems of immigrant children. In order to improve the integration and adaptation process for immigrant children with adjustment difficulties in their social relationships and behavioural problems, relevant intervention and prevention programs need to be developed in school settings in collaboration with the community, by government, and by ethno-specific community groups.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Although the eradication of child poverty is a top concern for European governments, consensus has not been reached on how this goal could be achieved: welfare regimes propose different policy solutions and researchers propose different measures and theories. In the meantime, at the dawn of the third millennium, European children''s lives are still threatened by risks of poverty and social exclusion. In so far as we consider poverty not only as a socio- demographic attribute but as the outcome of a complex generative mechanism, studying child poverty is a challenging task. Child poverty is a part of individuals'' biography, but also the outcome of interactions with other individuals, institutions or groups within a social context. This book presents some theoretical ingredients for the analytic approach to the study of child poverty and the trends of macro indicators of national wealth, social protection expenditure and income inequalities, child poverty incidence, intensity and persistency and child poverty risks at the individual level, using data from EUROSTAT and from the European Community Household Panel, between the mid-1990s and 2000.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 84 pp. Englisch.
