Dieses Buch handelt von der Finanzwirtschaft in Unternehmen. Es soll Studierenden und Praktikern, die einen ersten Zugang zu dieser Thematik suchen, eine Orientierung bieten, • was sich hinter den Begriffen Investition und Finanzierung verbirgt; • welche Funktionen die Finanzwirtschaft in Unternehmen zu erfüllen hat; • welche Ziele die Erfüllung der finanzwirtschaftlichen Aufgaben steuern; • welche Finanzierungsquellen einem Unternehmen - abhängig von unternehmens- und finanzmarktspezifischen Gegebenheiten - zur Verfügung stehen; • mit Hilfe welcher (Rechen-)Verfahren aus verfügbaren Investitionsalternativen bzw. Finanzierungsvarianten die jeweils günstigsten ausgewählt werden können; • von welchen Rahmenbedingungen die Vorteilhaftigkeit von Investitions- und Finanzierungsalternativen in welcher Weise beeinflusst wird. Über die in einem finanzwirtschaftlichen Grundkurs und einem einführenden Lehrbuch sinnvollerweise zu vermittelnden Inhalte lässt sich natürlich trefflich streiten: Die eine Dozentin mag konsequent auf die Vermittlung kapitalmarkttheoretischer Modelle setzen, der andere betont vielleicht stärker die instrumentellen und institutionellen Aspekte. Dieses Buch geht einen Mittelweg und stellt die Vermittlung von Rechentechniken und von institutionellen Bedingungen in einen theoretischen Rahmen. Die Breite und Tiefe der aufgegriffenen Fragestellungen und konsequent auch der Seitenumfang des Buches sind so gewählt, dass der Stoff in einer einführenden Lehrveranstaltung (mit Übung) bewältigbar ist. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende und Praktiker, die einen ersten Zugang zu der Thematik Finanzwirtschaft in Unternehmen suchen.

In Drafting Successful Access and Benefit-sharing Contracts , Young and Tvedt offer an insightful and profound analysis of how ABS can be made truly functional through the use of legally binding and enforceable contracts. Contracts are foreseen as the main legal tool for making access and benefit sharing work, thus realizing the third objective of the Convention on Biological Diversity. Many years have gone by since contracts were first suggested as a solution to resolve the challenges of ABS, but so far few successful benefit-sharing cases have been presented. This volume explores the possibilities and limits of contract law which both practitioners and stakeholders need in order for ABS contracts to become an effective solution for sustainable use of biological diversity.

The aim of this book was to collect the most recent methods developed for NSO and its practical applications. The book contains seven papers: The first is the foreword by the Guest Editors giving a brief review of NSO and its real-life applications and acknowledging the outstanding contributions of Professor Adil Bagirov to both the theoretical and practical aspects of NSO. The second paper introduces a new and very efficient algorithm for solving uncertain unit-commitment (UC) problems. The third paper proposes a new nonsmooth version of the generalized damped Gauss–Newton method for solving nonlinear complementarity problems. In the fourth paper, the abs-linear representation of piecewise linear functions is extended to yield simultaneously their DC decomposition as well as the pair of generalized gradients. The fifth paper presents the use of biased-randomized algorithms as an effective methodology to cope with NP-hard and nonsmooth optimization problems in many practical applications. In the sixth paper, a problem concerning the scheduling of nuclear waste disposal is modeled as a nonsmooth multiobjective mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problem, and a novel method using the two-slope parameterized achievement scalarizing functions is introduced. Finally, the last paper considers binary classification of a multiple instance learning problem and formulates the learning problem as a nonconvex nonsmooth unconstrained optimization problem with a DC objective function.

When the oral history of a medicinal plant as a genetic resource is used to develop a blockbuster drug, how is the contribution of indigenous peoples recognized in research and commercialization? What other ethical, legal, and policy issues come into play? Is it accurate for countries to self-identify as users or providers of genetic resources? This edited collection, which focuses on Canada, is the result of research conducted in partnership with indigenous peoples in that country, where melting permafrost and new sea lanes have opened the region's biodiversity, underscoring Canada's status as a user and provider of genetic resources and associated indigenous knowledge. This work is an important resource for scholars, corporations, indigenous peoples, policymakers, and concerned citizens as Canada and other countries take on the implementation of Access and Benefit Sharing policies over genetic resources and associated indigenous knowledge. This book is also available as Open Access.
