This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The authors of this Festschrift prepared these papers to honour and express their friendship to Klaus Ritter on the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. Be cause of Ritter's many friends and his international reputation among math ematicians, finding contributors was easy. In fact, constraints on the size of the book required us to limit the number of papers. Klaus Ritter has done important work in a variety of areas, especially in var ious applications of linear and nonlinear optimization and also in connection with statistics and parallel computing. For the latter we have to mention Rit ter's development of transputer workstation hardware. The wide scope of his research is reflected by the breadth of the contributions in this Festschrift. After several years of scientific research in the U.S., Klaus Ritter was ap pointed as full professor at the University of Stuttgart. Since then, his name has become inextricably connected with the regularly scheduled conferences on optimization in Oberwolfach. In 1981 he became full professor of Applied Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics at the Technical University of Mu nich. In addition to his university teaching duties, he has made the activity of applying mathematical methods to problems of industry to be centrally important. 388 pp. Englisch.

It is a wide-ranging collection of essays on the subject drawn from a long-term project and seminar, held in Italy, to review the state of the art and speculate on the future influence on the 'sciences of the city' of the complexity concept. Of particular interest is the variety of points of view, often contrasting, and the attempt to go beyond the conventional approaches to the analysis, and the planning of the city. While focussing mainly on the European (and in particular Italian) context, the discussion is of general relevance and valuable to anyone concerned with the prospects for the city in the new millenium.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 940 pp. Englisch.

He was born in Glatz, Silesia, on March 13, 1933. Hans SchneeweiB studied mathematics and physics and received his Ph. D. degree from the Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe University, Frankfurt, in 1960. He was member of the academic staff of the Faculty of Law and Economics of the Saar University between 1959 and 1965. Following his Habilitation in 1964, he was appointed to the chair of Statistics and Econometrics at the same university. As a visiting professor he worked at the Institute for Aca demic Studies in Vienna in 1967 and at the Department of Statistics of the University of Waterloo, Canada, in 1970/71. He has been a full professor of Econometrics and Statistics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Mu nich since 1973. His extensive research activities abroad included important projects in Waterloo, Vienna, Dundee (Scotland), Sidney, China, Kiev. During the more than 40 years of his academic work he has published outstanding, original articles on econometrics and statistics. To give an ex ample, it is his research on decision theory which has marked developments in this field. His book Entscheidungskriterien bei Risiko, published in 1967, is an excellent starting for anyone looking for an introduction to the complex iSsues involved.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 348 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -When considering labor market inequality across different demographic groups in society, it is natural for most individuals to think of discrimination as the most likely explanation. Since the pioneering work of University of Chicago economist and Nobel Laureate Gary Becker, there has been an abundance of both theoretical and empirical analysis on the issue of discrimination. What economists and other social scientists have learned is that the measurement of discrimination has proven to be far more challenging than anyone could have imagined. There is of course the technology of measurement that has to be addressed but there is also the related matter of how to define discrimination. Another University of Chicago economist and Nobel Laureate, Milton Friedman, cautioned against overlooking the distinction between equality of outcomes and equality of opportunity. The present book is a tour de force on the topic of segregation in the labor force. Segregation is a concept that is related to discrimination but it is not necessarily the same as discrimination. Segregation can be a mechanism for societal enforcement of discrimination, but it can also arise as the result of voluntary choices related to differences in preferences and household division of labor. The authors offer a counterweight to the traditional emphasis on wage discrimination over segregation and labor market segmentation. The subject is thoroughly addressed on both theoretical and empirical grounds with special emphasis on gender segregation in the Swiss labor market. 192 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book presents an interdisciplinary analysis of EU regional cohesion based on a network and clusters approach. The author explores the question if and how the presence of network structures supports the effectiveness of transformation in EU regions, in particular with a focus on non-pecuniary factors of regional growth. For a theoretical foundation of the topic, characteristics of a networking economy as well as the determinants of EU policies on regional development and innovation are examined and discussed. The empirical analysis at the core of this work presents and makes use of interdisciplinary methodological tools such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), K-means models and self-organizing maps.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 132 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Seldom has any business been in such turmoil as the Communication Service Providers (CSP) business is today. Telecom operators providing communication services constructed the infrastructure of the global information society with their trillion investments on various telecommunication technologies from broadband to mobile. Their investments on software turned their technology-specific in-house procedures into modern layered OSS/BSS.This book analyzes the status and the future evolution of OSS/BSS software industry from multiple viewpoints including technology diffusion, vertical disintegration and evolution of a vertical software industry. The analysis uses both commercial databases on software market transactions and interviews of operators in Europe and Far East, using quantitative and qualitative methods.This research complying academic standards aims at serving the practical business needs in the companies shaping the future of communications: the CSPs and the software developers ¿ sometimes found in a single enterprise.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 168 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -An increasing number of products and services are not differentiated by inherent features, but by the vendors, particularly their reputation and marketing commu- cation. Consequently, a positive reputation provides competing vendors with a virtually inimitable competitive advantage. Contemporary research concerning antecedents and consequences of reputation in the domain of marketing is dominated by branding and line extension issues. Organizations¿ communication efforts and the relation of reputation and the c- munication media are not fully understood; nor have they been challenged up to now. Moreover, customers¿ perception of reputation is clearly embedded in their cultural context. However, contemporary marketing research restricts both conceptual and empirical considerations to Western-type cultures. Frequently, even the differences in Western-type cultures are neglected. Considering these shortcomings in contemporary marketing research, Dr. Christine Falkenreck investigates the opportunities and limits, and also the potential bene ts and dangers of transferring a vendor¿s positive reputation to product categories never produced or offered by the considered vendor. Embedding the empirical investigation of both reputation management and reputation transfer in a coherent theoretical framework, which is grounded in the Commitment-Trust theory, is her merit. She derives and validates an integrated model that appears to be valid in all cultures considered in her study. The results of this analysis contribute substantially to our understanding of reputation measuring and managing. These results are not restricted to academic interests and they provided practitioners with a variety of new insights. Thus, this thesis will ho- fully be widely discussed in bothacademia and management practice.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 252 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book evaluates the successes, failures, and factors that influence the competition for public bus transport services. Using Germany as a case study, the author explains the dichotomous system of a market with licenses for commercial services, where operators are granted exclusivity, and licenses for non-commercial services, where supplementary direct subsidies are tendered out by public transport authorities. The empirical analysis is based on primary data usually not publicly available, and supplemented by numerous expert interviews. The book aims to provide a basic understanding of the players and their options, offer insights into the German model, and make policy recommendations for those whose goal is to increase competition.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 264 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The recent global nancial crisis has made nancial liberalization a topic of great academic and practical interest. This book makes new contributions to the topic by combining fact- nding, empirical analysis, and theory to examine the relationship between nancial liberalization and economic growth. Among its contributions, the book provides detailed country assessments on the effects of nancial liberalization, including its striking impact on the banking sector. Although an important goal of nancial deregulation has been to help nancial institutions better perform their role in intermediating resources, the book models how deregulation may fail to achieve that goal in countries with underdeveloped nancial markets and institutions. For that purpose, the book draws on actual experience in Kenya, Malawi, Botswana, and Thailand. This book should constitute important reading for students of nancial economics, researchers and general academics, nancial practitioners, policymakers, and teachers of economics. North Carolina, USA Steven L. Schwarcz December 2008 Stanley A. Star Professor of Law & Business, Duke University Founding Director, Duke Global Capital Markets Center Durham vii Abstract and Preface The latest global nancial and economic crisis of 2008 shows the need to - examine the desirability of nancial liberalization and the basis for the view that nancial deregulation by itself cannot be considered as a substitute for better economic management. The literature on nancial liberalization has identi ed various mechanisms through which removing controls on interest rates may impact economic growth.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 316 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The book presents statistical methods and models that can usefully support the ev- uation of educational services and quality of products. The contributions collected in this book summarize the work of several researchers from the universities of Bologna, Firenze, Napoli and Padova. The contributions are written with a cons- tent notation and a uni ed view, and concern methodological advances developed mostly with reference to speci c problems of evaluation using real data sets. The evaluation of educational services, as well as the analysis of judgements and preferences, poses severe methodological challenges because of the presence of one or more of the following aspects: the observational (non experimental) nature of the context, which is associated with the well-known problems of selection bias and presence of nuisance factors; the hierarchical structure of the data, that entails c- related observations and consideration of effects at different levels of the hierarchy and their interactions (multilevel analysis); the multivariate and qualitative nature of the dependent variable, that requires the use of ad hoc statistical methodologies; the presence of non observable factors, e. g. the satisfaction, calling for the use of latent variables models; the simultaneous presence of components of pleasure and components of uncertainty in the explication of the judgments, that asks for the speci cation and estimation of mixture models. The rst part of the book deals with latent variable models.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 260 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Services ¿ from information technology to research to finance ¿ are now as subject to international trade as goods have been for decades. What are the labor market consequences of the recent surge in services offshoring While offshoring has traditionally been found to affect only less-skilled workers in industrialized countries, this study finds that services offshoring also has negative consequences for high-skilled workers. Focusing on the case of Germany, Deborah Winkler shows how services offshoring has grown, who is most affected and what policy makers can do. Winkler measures the impact of services offshoring on German productivity, employment, and employment structure. She provides a well-balanced synthesis of theoretical insights, detailed empirical analysis, and economic policy recommendations. Although her main focus is on the case of Germany, many insights are also applicable to other developed countries.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 324 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Fuzzy systems and soft computing are new computing techniques that are tolerant to imprecision, uncertainty and partial truths. Applications of these techniques in nuclear engineering present a tremendous challenge due to its strict nuclear safety regulation. The fields of nuclear engineering, fuzzy systems and soft computing have nevertheless matured considerably during the last decade. This book presents new application potentials for Fuzzy Systems and Soft Computing in Nuclear Engineering. The root of this book can be traced back to the series of the first, second and third international workshops on Fuzzy Logic and Intelligent Technologies in Nuclear Science (FUNS), which were successfully held in Mol, September 14-16, 1994 (FLINS'94), in Mol, September 25-27, 1996 (FLINS'96), and in Antwerp, September 14-16, 1998 (FLINS'98). The conferences were organised by the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre (SCKeCEN) and aimed at bringing together scientists, researchers, and engineers from academia and industry, at introducing the principles of fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms and other soft computing methodologies, to the field of nuclear engineering, and at applying these techniques to complex problem solving within nuclear industry and related research fields. This book, as its title suggests, consists of nuclear engineering applications of fuzzy systems (Chapters 1-10) and soft computing (Chapters 11-21). Nine pertinent chapters are based on the extended version of papers at FLINS'98 and the other 12 chapters are original contributions with up-to-date coverage of fuzzy and soft computing applications by leading researchers written exclusively for this book.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 500 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Im Buch wird den Anforderungen an die Gestaltung der Personalfunktion nachgegangen. Diese ergeben sich einerseits aus den Zielen der Unternehmung als eines wirtschaftlichen Gebildes und anderseits aus der Gewährleistung des Menschseins des Mitarbeiters in ihr. Die damit verbundenen Spannungen bestimmen die Beziehungen zwischen Arbeitgeber und Arbeitnehmer seit es Unternehmungen im heutigen Verständnis gibt. Die beiden sich daraus ergebenden Pole in dieser spannungsreichen Beziehung werden geortet und Ausgleichsmöglichkeiten werden gefunden, sowohl in einer grundsätzlichen und ganzheitlichen Sicht als auch bezogen auf die wichtigsten Personalaufgaben. Mit diesem Buch liegt eine Sammelschrift vor, deren Beiträge durch anerkannte Vertreter der Personallehre im deutsch- und englischsprachigen Raum verfasst wurden. Dabei wird die Spannung zwischen Humanität und wirtschaftlicher Rationalität in der Personalfunktion der Unternehmung nicht als eine sich gegenseitig ausschließende Beziehung zweier Gegensätze begriffen - im Sinne eines 'entweder-oder'. Im Vordergrund steht die Auffassung, daß es sich zwar um verschiedene, aber sich komplementär ergänzende und wechselseitig aufeinander verweisende Erfordernisse handelt.Physica Verlag, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 332 pp. Deutsch.
