Abstract

Environmental sustainability creates both tremendous business opportunities and formidable threats to established companies across virtually all industry sectors. Yet many companies tackle the issue in a superficial or passive way through increased environmental reporting, the use of “greenspeak” in their corporate communication activities or isolated efforts to create green products or reduce pollution. In contrast, there are a small but increasing number of firms that employ a holistic approach to sustainability and consider fundamental changes to their existing business models. By ignoring the opportunities of Green Business Model Transformations, companies exclude themselves from a large variety of potential means to create economic value. In addition to ordinary product and process innovations, they can change “the rules of the game” within an industry towards environmental sustainability. This can facilitate the commercialisation of new green products that would not be competitive otherwise targeting new customer segments with previously unmet needs improved economics of value creation by developing a green architecture of the firm and its business network Green Business Model Transformations, however, are challenging ventures in many respects: Firstly, it is difficult to develop and accurately assess the prospects of new, green business models due to uncertainties and inherent complex systemic characteristics. It can therefore be very challenging for individual managers of established companies to question the status quo and seize new, green opportunities. The implementation of Green Business Model Transformations therefore requires strong change capabilities: The stakes are high, many otherwise disconnected parts of the organisation are involved, and the subject matter is complex in nature. As a result, there is a great need for guidance in management practice that current research does not address. This publication aims to fill this gap with a general approach to Managing Green Business Model Transformations by defining a process to evaluate green business models and providing a methodology for their realisation.

Abstract

Die kontrollierte Auktion findet als Erwerbsweg in privaten Transaktionen auch in Deutschland zunehmende Verbreitung. Während die käuferseitige Unternehmensbewertung umfassend dokumentiert ist, fehlen strategische Empfehlungen für den Käufer im wissenschaftlichen Schrifttum fast vollständig. Friedrich Sommer leitet auf Basis von Auktionstheorie, Verhandlungsforschung und verhaltensökonomischen Ansätzen die Relevanz von Marktpreisprognosen in kontrollierten Auktionen ab. Neben einem umfassenden Überblick zu den Möglichkeiten ihrer Ermittlung mittels Multiplikatorverfahren präsentiert er die Ergebnisse einer großzahligen empirischen Studie hinsichtlich der Prognosegüte unter Berücksichtigung von Abweichungsrichtung, Branchen- und Zeiteffekten.

Abstract

Die Fußchirurgie hat sich in den letzten Jahren als Spezialgebiet der Orthopädischen Chirurgie etabliert. Die bestehende umfangreiche Literatur geht aber nicht ausreichend auf die praktischen Bedürfnisse des operativ tätigen Facharztes ein. Dieses Buch schließt diese Lücke. Der Autor ist erfahrener orthopädischer Chirurge und reiner Fußspezialist und beschreibt die wichtigsten und bewährtesten Operationen am Vor-, Mittel- und Rückfuss. Er nimmt den Leser in den Operationssaal mit, führt ihn Schritt für Schritt, von der Vorbereitung bis zum Verband, durch die häufigsten Operationen und zeigt praktische Tipps und Tricks. Die Technik der Regionalanästhesie und die einzelnen OP-Schritte werden mit einprägsamen Skizzen und hochqualitativen Fotos erläutert und illustriert. Die Diskussion alternativer OP-Methoden rundet die Thematik ab. Dieses Buch ist eine wertvolle Anleitung für alle Chirurgen und Orthopäden, die fußchirurgische Eingriffe durchführen und perfektionieren wollen.

Abstract

What do Jews think scripture is? How do the People of the Book conceive of the Book of Books? In what ways is it authoritative? Who has the right to interpret it? Is it divinely or humanly written? And have Jews always thought about the Bible in the same way? In seventeen cohesive and rigorously researched essays, this volume traces the way some of the most important Jewish thinkers throughout history have addressed these questions from the rabbinic era through the medieval Islamic world to modern Jewish scholarship. They address why different Jewish thinkers, writers, and communities have turned to the Bible—and what they expect to get from it. Ultimately, argues editor Benjamin D. Sommer, in understanding the ways Jews construct scripture, we begin to understand the ways Jews construct themselves.

Environmental sustainability creates both tremendous business opportunities and formidable threats to established companies across virtually all industry sectors. Yet many companies tackle the issue in a superficial or passive way through increased environmental reporting, the use of greenspeak  in their corporate communication activities or isolated efforts to create green products or reduce pollution. In contrast, there are a small but increasing number of firms that employ a holistic approach to sustainability and consider fundamental changes to their existing business models. By ignoring the opportunities of Green Business Model Transformations, companies exclude themselves from a large variety of potential means to create economic value. In addition to ordinary product and process innovations, they can change the rules of the game  within an industry towards environmental sustainability. This can facilitate the commercialisation of new green products that would not be competitive otherwise targeting new customer segments with previously unmet needs improved economics of value creation by developing a green architecture of the firm and its business network Green Business Model Transformations, however, are challenging ventures in many respects: Firstly, it is difficult to develop and accurately assess the prospects of new, green business models due to uncertainties and inherent complex systemic characteristics.
