Warenströme in Mitteleuropa – Die Integrationsleistungen der Logistik im 20. Jahrhundert

It uses the case studies of the Speicherstadt in Hamburg and the Rhenania warehouse in Mannheim to describe warehouse management as part of logistics.

The logistics of bulk goods are explained by the transport services of Rhine shipping and by the transport services of the railways, with tensions in railway policy between France and Germany being outlined.

Identity and image dynamics – managing social exclusion in profitable way
(Publishing House of the University of Economics, 2015)
The above statement has long been established as the canonical view of economic reality, and it has only been a couple of years since we thoroughly started to contest and debate this world-view. Grasping this, we focus on two aspects about the above perception in detail: First, a suggestion to redefine the term ‘market’ in a more up-to-date fashion, second, the debunking of the suspicious correlation between ‘no money to spend’ and ‘no money to be made’.

Normative and cognitive influences on female entrepreneurial reluctance at the base of the pyramid - an explorative study of cleaning ladies in Istanbul
(COMSATS, Inst. of Information Technology, 2013)
Previous research has considered entrepreneurship as a way out of poverty and as a chance to foster economic growth. Moreover, specifically start-ups headed by women have played an important role in the economic development and it has been argued that gender-related issues, amongst others, play a significant role for the performance of a country or region. Against this background, this qualitative study explores desires, reluctances and constraints toward entrepreneurial activities of a comparably homogenous group ...

Individual Decision-Making and Inflation Persistence
(2015-03-10)
The traditional task of a central bank is to preserve price stability and, in doing so, not to impair the real economy more than necessary. To meet this challenge, it is of great relevance whether inflation is only driven by inflation expectations and the current output gap or whether it is, in addition, influenced by past inflation. In the former case, as described by the New Keynesian Phillips curve, the central bank can immediately and simultaneously achieve price stability and equilibrium output, the so-called ...

Ergebnisse und Redundanz in der Diskussion um eWOM: Eine kritische Literaturauswertung
(Universität Paderborn, 2014)
Electronic Word-Of-Mouth (eWOM) und Online Rezensionen (OR) werden als einer der Schlüsselfaktoren für erfolgreichen E-Commerce identifiziert. Jedoch sind die beeinflussenden Motivationsfaktoren für das Verfassen sowie das Lesen von OR bis heute gesamtheitlich nur unzureichend untersucht. Die vorliegende Literaturauswertung sammelt die bisherigen Forschungsergebnisse mit dem Ansatz, ein möglichst breites Bild der Motive für eWOM-Aktivitäten zu geben. Das Ergebnis der extensiven Literaturanalyse zeigt, dass für ...

Technisch quantitative Investmentstrategien
(2012-08-17)
Spätestens seit der Formulierung der modernen Portfoliotheorie durch Harry Markowitz (1952) wird den aktiven Portfoliomanagementstrategien besondere Aufmerksamkeit in Wissenschaft und Anlagepraxis gewidmet. Diese Arbeit ist im Schnittstellenbereich zwischen neoklassischer Kapitalmarkttheorie und technischer Analyse angesiedelt. Es wird untersucht, inwieweit eine passive Buy&Hold-Strategie, die als einzige im Einklang mit der Effizienzmarkthypothese nach Fama (1970) steht, durch Verwendung von aktiven Strategien ...

Reforming Cooperative Credit Structure in India for Financial Inclusion
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2014)
In the drive for financial inclusion in India, cooperative banks assume prime importance as they are much more accessible to the rural poor than commercial banks. While more accessible, cooperative banks' financial health is rather poor and, therefore, might not be able to serve the needy in a sustained manner. A committee led by Prof. Vaidyanathan has outlined a revival package for cooperatives. Besides suggesting an infusion of funds, it called for the adherence to certain stringent norms to ensure the financial ...

The Impact of Electricity Sector Privatisation on Employees in Argentina and Brazil
(Rainer Hampp Verlag, München, Mering, 2014)
This book investigates country-specific responses to privatisation by examining two of the most important Latin American examples of the 1990s, the Argentine and the Brazilian programmes, and one essential public service sector, electricity. In doing so, it aims to: identify the impact of privatisation on electricity sector employees in Argentina and Brazil during the 1990s; explore how the impact came about; and analyse the reasons for this impact. A multi-dimensional perspective provides a comparative analysis of ...

Customer Recovery Controlling
(2010-06-02)
Die langfristige Sicherung bestehender (profitabler) Kundenbeziehungen erweist sich für Unternehmen zunehmend als eine wichtige und zugleich immer schwieriger zu bewältigende Herausforderung. Vor dem Hintergrund hoher Kosten für die Neukundengewinnung und sinkender Kundenloyalität auf gesättigten, wettbewerbsintensiven und transparenten Märkten – verbunden mit tendenziell steigenden Abwanderungsraten – rücken die Früherkennung und Prävention von Kundenabwanderungen sowie die Kundenrückgewinnung verstärkt in den ...
