Byzantium was a strange entity-a relic of classical antiquity which survived deep into the Middle Ages. Drawing on a lifetime's work in the field of Byzantine studies, James Howard-Johnston aims to explain Byzantium's longevity, first as a state geared to fighting a two-centuries long guerrilla war of defence, then as an increasingly confident regional power. It is only by analysing its economic, social, and institutional structures that this strange medieval afterlife of the rump of the Roman empire can be understood.

Free Download Business Networking im Internet: Interaktive Anbahnung von Kooperationen in Unternehmensnetzwerken By Michael Wagner (auth.)
2004 | 282 Pages | ISBN: 3824482770 | PDF | 14 MB
Ein ständig wachsender Anteil der Wertschöpfung erfolgt heute in Kooperation mit anderen Unternehmen, was vor allem für kleine und mittlere Unternehmen die Chance bietet, sich einerseits auf ihre Kernkompetenzen zu konzentrieren und andererseits durch eine virtuelle Größe das eigene Ressourcenpotenzial zu erweitern. Dadurch kann in einem dynamischen Wettbewerbsumfeld eine hohe Flexibilität und Agilität erreicht werden. Michael Wagner untersucht, wie die Anbahnung von Kooperationen in Unternehmensnetzwerken mit Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien unterstützt werden kann. Aufbauend auf einer fundierten theoretischen Analyse der Phasen einer Kooperationsanbahnung in Unternehmensnetzwerken entwickelt er Gestaltungsempfehlungen für eine informations- und kommunikationstechnische Plattform, die der Unterstützung dieser Phasen dient. Die Umsetzung der Gestaltungsempfehlungen wird anschaulich in Form einer Fallstudie über das vom BMBF geförderten Forschungsprojekt TiBiD dargestellt.

The internet and the electronic economy are a technological revolution whose secular importance is apparent. The internet eliminates the temporal and spatial constraints on the exchange of information. It changes deeply the world of production and of labour. It transforms the exchange relationships between producers and consumers as well as between the suppliers within the supply-chain. The electronic economy is able to generate more accurate con sumer profiles and, therefore, a more powerful and effective marketing di rected to the individual consumer. There is no industry that is not undergoing thorough changes caused by the internet. The volume at hand gives an analysis of the internet revolution. It covers questions reaching form the highly controversial thesis of the end of property rights in the internet caused by the non-rivalry of the "consumption" of in formation to questions regarding the repercussions of the internet on our understanding of the human person. Technological changes like the introduction of the electronic economy pose the question of how to handle it and how to manage reasonably its ethi cal problems and dilemmas. The ethical problems and the business ethics of the electronic economy in the fields of production and labour, of consump tion, and in handling trust and the abuse of trust are analysed by the contribu tions from applied ethics and business ethics.

Business Education in Emerging Market Economies discusses the impact of business education on emerging markets and explores curricular innovation, pedagogical approaches, and strategic alliances in the context of industrializing economies. Emerging markets consist of eighty percent of the world's population and some 75% of its trade growth in the foreseeable future according to the U.S. Department of Commerce. The potential economic growth of emerging markets has prompted a need to understand the dynamics of these markets, their business institutions, and their educational systems. Many universities in the United States of America, for example, have responded to the demand of their students and business constituents to educate them about these exciting opportunities and lurking threats in these industrializing economies. This book contains multiple chapters describing curricular innovations and course development designed to educate American students about emerging markets. The pressures of globalization and the recent economic reforms that swept across emerging, developing, and transitioning, economies have had a positive impact on the demand for business education and business knowledge from the developed and industrialized countries. As a result, many methods were developed to transfer know-how from the developed markets including learning through imitation, using western style pedagogical approaches, attending universities in industrialized countries, learning through experience and practice, and using information technology. Aside from chapters on the aforementioned topics, this book also provides country- and region-specific insight into China, Russia, India, Ukraine, Latin America, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, Arab Middle East and North Africa, and Vietnam. The conclusion we reach is that business and management education in emerging markets is fast changing the way in which these markets operate and are perceived - business educators are catalysts for greater economic integration.
