Die Austro Moderne
(2023-01-10)
Die Länder Zentraleuropas lassen sich nicht einfach als Nachholer der westlichen Modernisierung begreifen. Der Beitrag zeigt vielmehr auf, wie die technischen Entwicklungen in den Autofabriken Lohner in Wien und Austro-Daimler in Wiener Neustadt vor sich gingen und der leichte und leistungsstarke Benzinmotor den Flugzeugbau (die Taube von Etrich) und Luftschiffbau vorantrieb. Im Flugzeugbau war Österreich um 1910 führend. Das kreative Milieu in Wien wird daran deutlich, dass die Hauptverwaltung der Lohnerwerke bloß ...

Taylor and Taylorism
(2023-04-20)

The dissemination of the concept of Taylorism in Western culture outlined here points to a high rank of ...

The interplay of sustainability and capital markets
(2023)
Humanity faces significant environmental and social challenges, e.g., climate change (UN, 2019). Those challenges are, to some extent, addressed by politics. For instance, the European Union (EU) tries to address environmental topics, such as climate change, with the EU Action Plan on Financing Sustainable Growth to steer capital flows into more sustainable business models (EU, 2018). This regulatory development, in conjunction with a surging demand for sustainable investment solutions leads to a pressing need for ...

The Computing Boom in the U.S. Aeronautical Industry, 1945–1965
(2023-05-15)
Whereas standard accounts on the history of modern computing tell the development of the digital computer as an isolated event on the East Coast of the U.S., this paper will show the history of machine computing in the context of the broad and rapid development of aeronautical weapons in the U.S. military since 1945. Analogue computing plays an important role that is nearly completely ignored by standard accounts. The extensive literature on the history of electronic digital computers does not take into account the ...

Die Verkehrspolitik der DDR
(2023-03-15)
Der Traum der Staatssozialisten von großen LKW-Flotten konnte in den 1950er Jahren nicht in die Realität überführt werden. Die erwarteten Gewinne an Produktivität stellten sich wegen zahlreicher Hindernisse nicht ein. Während das westliche Management in den 1980er Jahren die notwendigen Bedingungen für das Outsourcing von Transportdienstleistungen sorgfältig erkundete, besaßen die staatssozialistischen Planer keine Idee von Geschäftsprozessen, welche Produktion und Transport verbanden. Neben unzulänglichen ...
