    Keywords: Entrepreneurship ; Kritik ; Entrepreneurship ; Entrepreneurship ; Kritik ; Rollenverhalten ; Electronic books ; Entrepreneurship ; Rollenverhalten
    Abstract: This book asks what lies behind the friendly face of the entrepreneur. It challenges the widespread idea that entrepreneurship is a necessary and good thing, subjecting "the entrepreneur" to critical analysis. Unmasking the Entrepreneur demonstrates the socially embedded nature of entrepreneurship and considers the history, ethics and politics of entrepreneurship. Drawing on a range of ideas from critical social theory and philosophy, it investigates entrepreneurship in unusual places such as among illegal immigrants and revolutionary France. Ultimately, this book offers a unique and powerful critique of the very idea of the entrepreneur
    Abstract: 'I am an entrepreneur' -- For a critical theory of entrepreneurship -- The sublime object of entrepreneurship -- The birth of the entrepreneur -- Entrepreneurial excess -- Is the Marquis de Sade an entrepreneur? -- Every age gets the entrepreneur it deserves -- Enterprise of the other -- What remains

    Abstract: This unique and original work contends that, despite the differences between Marshallian and Schumpeterian thinking, they both present formidable challenges to a broad type of social science beyond economics, particularly under the influence of the German historical school. In a departure from the received view on the nature of the works of Marshall and Schumpeter, the contributors explore their themes in terms of an evolutionary vision and method of evolution; social science and evolution; conceptions of evolution; and evolution and capitalism

    Abstract: This IBM® Redbooks® publication discusses IBM Tivoli® Netcool® Service Quality Manager V4.1.1 data mediation development. It is aimed at implementers and system integrators connecting new data sources that will be managed by Service Quality Manager. Data mediation in Service Quality Manager is performed by Perl gateways. Gateways extract data from vendor specific hardware monitors and prepare the data to be loaded into the Service Quality Manager application. The development aspect of data mediation for gateways uses Perl extensively. The control files or rules are written as Perl subroutines. We discuss the detailed specifications and processing of these mediation rules.

    Abstract: In the post-Enron era, corporate corruption is increasingly on the research agenda. This informative book provides a novel approach by charting the causes of corruption. It demonstrates how agency (decisions and choices of individuals) and structure (the contextual pressures in the business environment) can interact to result in the rapid escalation of corporate crime. By analyzing and describing the social psychological dimensions of this escalation, the book will be effective in creating preventive measures that can be designed and implemented in business organizations

    Abstract: The global economy is changing rapidly and multinational corporations (MNCs) are at the forefront of this transformation. This book provides novel and profound analyses of how MNCs and emerging economies are related, and how this relationship affects the dynamics of the global economy. In particular, the authors deal with the nexus between multinationals, emerging economies and innovation from a variety of different perspectives. Innovation is regarded as a core driving force in the global economy but the authors show how it can impede as well as encourage sustainability. The book brings together insights from business studies and economics, and combines concise theoretical discussion with empirical analyses of unique data

    Abstract: This fresh and enlightening book offers a rounded overview of operations strategy with a particular focus on implementation. The premise of the book is that developing an effective operations strategy without its subsequent implementation will render the strategising process a waste of time and resources. The authors explain the pros and cons of existing approaches to implementation, as well as offering a systematic framework for turning strategic intent into actions. The study will be of great interest to academics and will also give practitioners confidence in effectively formulating and efficiently implementing strategies that reflect the needs of the today's business

    Abstract: The book compares and contrasts the experiences of Finland and Sweden, then adopts an international perspective, encompassing the experiences of Asia, Latin America, Denmark and Norway. Lessons from the 1990s crisis are drawn, and possible solutions prescribed. The conclusion is that long-term effects of financial crises--financial liberalization and integration--are not as dramatic as the short-term effects, but may prove to be of greater importance over time. Only the future will show whether these long-term benefits will balance or even outweigh the enormous short-term costs of the crises

    Abstract: Drawing together a collection of 29 original chapters, the Handbook makes an invaluable contribution to theory and practice by stimulating disciplined, rigorous and imaginative enquiry into the relationship between strategy and foresight. Leading scholars in the field of strategic management are brought together to offer innovative and multi-disciplinary perspectives on the past, present and future of strategy formation and foresight. In so doing, they challenge research in four key areas: strategy and foresight processes; strategy innovation for the future; understanding the future; and strategically responding to the future

    Abstract: This book examines in detail the features and dynamics of sectoral systems of innovation and production in developing countries. Processes of rapid growth are usually associated with specific sectors such as automobiles, electronics or software, as well as with the transformation of traditional sectors such as agriculture and food. The book shows, however, that the variations across all these sectors in terms of structure and dynamics is so great that a full understanding of these differences is necessary if innovation is to be encouraged and growth sustained

    Abstract: With global finance reshaping the world economy, this insightful new book provides a full account of the EU's financial integration strategy, together with a critical assessment arguing the case for social control over global finance. Written by acknowledged experts in European finance, this book discusses key issues from finance to general social developments, encompassing social security systems, employment relations, household saving and borrowing, and the question of economic stability. Thus far, America has been pre-eminent both in global financial markets and international banking - so how should the European Union meet this challenge? Global Finance and Social Europe constructively argues that an active response is required and highlights the importance of an integrated European financial system

    Abstract: The notion and interpretation of path dependence have been discussed and utilized in various social sciences during the last two decades. This innovative book provides significant new insights onto how the different applications of path dependence have developed and evolved. The authors suggest that there has been a definite evolution from applications of path dependence in the history of technology towards other fields of social science. They also discuss the various definitions of path dependence (strong or weak) and explore the potential applications of path dependence in new areas such as political economy and economic geography

    Abstract: Post Keynesian analyses of monetary production have not given much attention to households as institutions, while a good deal of the literature in feminist economics discusses households in a strictly microeconomic context, with little consideration of monetary phenomena. This book, a unique study of the capitalist economy, utilizes a distinctive combination of Post Keynesian, institutional, and gender analysis to examine household economics in capitalist society in order to flesh out the gaps in each

    Abstract: Universities are undergoing massive change, evolving from science-based, government-funded institutions into 'international know-how hubs' dubbed third generation universities, or 3GUs. J.G. Wissema explores this dramatic change, tracing the historic development of universities, and exploring the technology-based enterprises, technostarters and financiers for start-ups and young enterprises that are the main partners of these 3GUs. He goes on to illustrate that universities play a new role as incubators of new science or technology based commercial activities and take an active role in the exploitation of the knowledge they create. The book concludes with suggestions regarding the way in which changes in the university's mission should be reflected in subsequent organisational changes

    Abstract: This broad review of the development of US water resource policy analysis and practice offers perspectives from several disciplines: law, economics, engineering, ecology and political science. The historical context provided goes back to the early 19th century, but the book concentrates on the past 60 years. A key feature is a discussion of the difficulty that has generally been encountered in bringing the disciplines of economics and ecology into collaboration in the water resource context

    Abstract: Jesper Jespersen presents a treatise on the importance of the choice of methodology within macroeconomics. Given that no scientifically based macroeconomic policy recommendation should be established without an evaluation of the methods employed, this book gives a clear exposition of how proper macroeconomic analysis should be undertaken. Furthermore, it is convincingly argued that one of the lasting contributions of John Maynard Keynes was his emphasis on methodology; that macroeconomic consequences of uncertainty could not be analysed within the established general equilibrium framework. It is due to post-Keynesian economics supported by critical realism that the understanding of Keynes's methodology has been resurrected, which has eventually resulted in renewed debate on realistic macroeconomic policies to restore full employment without inflation

    Abstract: It is argued that mainstream economics, with its present methodological approach, is limited in its ability to analyze and develop adequate public policy to deal with current environmental problems and sustainable development. This book provides an alternative approach. Building on the strengths and insights of Post Keynesian and ecological economics and incorporating cutting edge work in such areas as economic complexity, bounded rationality and socio-economic dynamics, the contributors to this book provide a trans-disciplinary approach to deal with a broad range of environmental concerns

    Abstract: Game theory is useful in understanding collective human activity as the outcome of interactive decisions. In recent years it has become a more prominent aspect of research and applications in public policy disciplines such as economics, philosophy, management and political science, and in work within public policy itself. Here Roger McCain makes use of the analytical tools of game theory with the pragmatic purpose of identifying problems and exploring potential solutions in public policy

    Abstract: This fascinating book considers one of the most important problems in economics: the inception of modern economic development. There is at present no satisfactory explanation of the inception of modern economic development; an excessive focus on either pure theory or on unique histories limits the explanatory power. This book realises the need to integrate the two approaches, moving beyond the proximate causes of economic theory to review the role in an analytic narrative of significant ultimate causes - geography, risk environments, human capital, and institutions

    Abstract: An entrepreneur who decides to found a firm and to hire employees has to tackle two central problems: their employees' coordination and motivation. Drawing on findings from cognitive, social and organizational psychology, this book sheds new light on the relevance of bounded rationality and social learning in the process of leadership. Silke Scheer bridges some of the missing links that can be identified within the theory of cognitive leadership and demonstrates how its scope can be broadened by investigating group level processes, and how they can have an impact on the socialization of newcomers

    Abstract: Building on Oliver Williamson's original analysis, the contributors introduce new ideas, different perspectives and provide tools for better understanding changes in the approach to regulation, the reform of public utilities, and the complex problems of governance. They draw largely upon a transaction cost approach, highlighting the challenges faced by major economic sectors and identifying critical flaws in prevailing views on regulation. Deeply rooted in sector analysis, the book conveys a central message of new institutional economics: that theory should be continuously confronted by facts, and reformed or revolutionized accordingly

    Abstract: Financial globalization has made monetary policy formulation in emerging market economies increasingly complicated. This timely set of studies looks at the turmoil in global financial markets, which coupled with volatile inflation poses serious challenges for central banks in these countries. Featuring papers from the research frontier and front-line policymakers in developing and emerging market economies, the book addresses questions such as 'What monetary policy framework is most suitable for these countries to confront the new challenges while they continue to open up to trade and financial flows', 'What are the linkages between monetary stability and financial stability?' and 'Is inflation targeting or a fixed exchange rate regime preferable for developing and emerging markets?'

    Abstract: Over the last few decades, there has been a great deal of management literature recommending the removal of firms' hierarchies and the empowerment of employees. Ivan Pongracic, Jr. examines these themes through the lense of the economic theory of the firm. Balancing the tendency for management literature to overlook basic costs and trade-offs of decentralization, and the rigidity of economics that hinders an appreciation for the real world phenomenon of decentralization, this book arrives at a realistic middle ground between the two extremes. The dance between hierarchy and employee empowerment exists in even the most hierarchical firms, and this book explores this often overlooked dynamic

    Abstract: Deploying an identity management solution for a medium size business begins with a thorough analysis of the existing business and IT environment. After we fully understand the organization, their deployed infrastructure, and the application framework, we can define an applicable representation of these assets within an identity management implementation. This IBM® Redbooks® publication, intended for IBM Business Partners, takes a step-by-step approach to implementing an identity management solution based on IBM Tivoli® Identity Manager. Part 1 discusses the general business context and the planning approach for an identity management solution. Part 2 takes you through an example company profile with existing business policies and guidelines and builds an identity management solution design for this particular environment. We describe how the components can be integrated into the existing environment. Then, we focus on the detailed configuration of identity management integration tasks that must be implemented in order to create a fully functional end-to-end solution. This IBM Redbooks publication does not introduce any general identity management concepts, nor does it systematically explain all of Tivoli Identity Manager's components and capabilities; instead, those details are thoroughly discussed in the IBM Redbooks publications: Identity Management Design Guide with IBM Tivoli Identity Manager, SG24-6996, and Enterprise Security Architecture Using IBM Tivoli Security Solutions, SG24-6014.

    Abstract: In order to comply with government and industry regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, and COBIT, enterprises have to constantly detect, validate, and report unauthorized change and out-of-compliance actions on their IT infrastructure. The Tivoli Compliance Insight Manager solution allows organizations to improve the security of their information systems by capturing comprehensive log data, correlating this data through sophisticated log interpretation and normalization, and communicating results through a dashboard and a full set of audit and compliance reporting. We discuss the business context of security audit and compliance software for organizations, and we show a typical deployment within a business scenario. This IBM Redbooks publication is a valuable resource for security officers, administrators, and architects who wish to understand and deploy a centralized security audit and compliance solution.

    Abstract: Workload partition functionality, originally introduced in 2007 with the release of IBM AIX Version 6, is a strategic component of the IBM AIX Operating System. With the release of AIX V6.1 TL2 in November 2008, both the core functionality and features related to managing workload partitions have been improved and expanded. This IBM Redbooks publication provides an updated introduction and “how to” guide for system administrators and architects using workload partitions in AIX V6.1 TL2. It builds on the original concepts and practices described in the first Redbooks publication about this topic, Introduction to Workload Partition Management in IBM AIX Version 6.1, SG24-7431 , published in 2007. In AIX 6.2 TL2, significant enhancements to core workload partition functions and new features have been added. Some of the important feature updates provide more flexibility and support for enhanced mobility, improved isolation, and NIM integration. A new and significantly updated version of IBM Workload Partitions Manager for AIX (WPAR Manager), the Web browser-based graphical user interface for managing and monitoring WPARs, is also available. WPAR Manager is a platform management solution that provides a centralized point of control for managing WPARs across a collection of managed systems running AIX.

    Abstract: This IBM® Redbooks® publication describes the IBM Tivoli® Composite Application Manager (ITCAM) family of products. The Composite Application Manager family currently consists of: - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for WebSphere® - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for J2EE™ - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Web Resources - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Response Time - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Internet Service Monitoring - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for CICS® Transactions - IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for IMS™ Transactions The aim of IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager is to simplify and enhance distributed application management. Application components can reside on multiple servers, across different platforms and J2EE environments, even through mainframes. The complexity of understanding and solving application-related problems, typically around performance issues, requires a cohesive set of tools to provide an end-to-end view of the application. The discussion that we provide in this book mainly consists of the basic installation and configuration of the products. The discussion is aimed at augmenting the information provided in the product manuals. Consult the appropriate product manual before starting to implement these products. We provide usage scenarios in this book as a demonstration of using these products in our sample environment. We use a single application environment that can be managed by all of the products.

    Abstract: IBM® WebSphere® Process Server is a business integration server that was built to support solutions that are based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA). It plays a key role in the architecture of the IBM SOA Foundation by providing functionality for process services. Another key component of the architecture is the enterprise service bus (ESB). IBM provides three key ESB products: IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, WebSphere Message Broker, and the WebSphere DataPower Integration Appliance XI50. This IBM Redbooks® publication has been written for architects who are planning an SOA solution and application designers who are implementing an SOA solution with WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Message Broker. In this book, we highlight the ESB capabilities of WebSphere Message Broker and explain how you can leverage them with WebSphere Process Server. In addition, we discuss interoperability and provide examples to illustrate the integration of the two products.

    Abstract: This uniquely interdisciplinary study offers a provocative, contemporary look at the 'woman question' in relation to higher education at the dawn of the twenty-first century. Leading feminist scholars from a wide variety of perspectives and disciplines - including history, philosophy, education, psychology, sociology, and economics - evaluate the role of biology, discrimination, and choice in rationalizing women's exclusion from fully participating in the process of knowledge production, as well as examining institutional impediments. Contextualizing arguments against women's inclusion and including contemporary perspectives on gender, this book offers a rich, multi-layered examination and critical insights into understanding the near universal difficulties that women encounter as they seek to participate fully in the process of knowledge production

    Abstract: A landmark contribution to our understanding of economic development. This significant book argues that fundamental changes in deeply rooted institutions do not happen because of outsiders' money, advice, pressures, or even physical force; which explains why foreign aid has not, and can not, improve institutions. The impetus for changing institutions must come from within a society, and the author shows how groups of local scholars contribute to institutional change and development when the political opportunity presents itself

    Abstract: Deng Xiaoping's economic strategy is widely regarded as a complete anathema to Mao's, but this study strongly argues that without the material foundations laid by Mao, it would have been very difficult for Deng to launch his reform and open-door policy. Deng basically shared Mao's aspirations and approach in pursuit of China's industrialization, and this had in fact helped to condition him to the successful gradualist methodology. Deng lost patience at times and resorted to the 'big bang' strategy, only to fail miserably. Taken together, the book tells a new story about the economics of China's transition. This is a highly thought-provoking study, blending institutional and convincing statistical analysis

    Abstract: Using detailed case studies of the first nine mainland Chinese companies to be listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange (1993-94), Alice de Jonge examines the evolution of corporate governance law and culture in China's H-share market. A story emerges not of tensions between ideas of corporate governance from two different legal systems--Hong Kong vs. mainland Chinese--nor about legal convergence as China adopts concepts from Anglo-American jurisdictions. Rather, it is a story of individual firms being pragmatic in mediating the different agendas of state-agencies that own or control them. Corporate Governance and China's H-Share Market looks at corporate governance in a cross-border context, is unique in providing a detailed understanding of China's H-share market, reveals why a beer company was the first ever Chinese firm to be listed overseas. This fascinating work will appeal to postgraduate students and scholars of corporate governance, Asian law and legal systems and Asian business, as well as Chinese scholars more generally. Professionals such as law practitioners working in Chinese law will also find the book of interest

    Abstract: This detailed, comprehensive study on downsizing in Europe is underpinned by cross-national, interdisciplinary empirical research on restructuring management in five European countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. It contains systematic national comparative overviews, and transversal analyses of more than 30 in-depth case studies, taking into account a broad range of perspectives across professional human resources managers, unions" representatives, local and national civil servants, social workers and physicians. The authors examine strategic choices and practices in national and local contexts, showing that the practice of restructuring is not as heterogeneous as many previous studies have indicated or predicted. Systematic policy proposals for better economic and social management of restructuring are also prescribed

    Keywords: Electronic books ; local
    Abstract: Over years, the typical IT infrastructure grows and is very likely a collection of separated, heterogeneous environments that can collide with today's requirement for companies to react quickly to changing business needs. This changing environment demands a middleware that is both robust and extensible as well as flexible when reacting to change. With WebSphere Middleware products from IBM you can operate flexible service-oriented architectures that overcome these integration challenges. The IBM WebSphere Service-Oriented Middleware product suite includes different integration brokers and a multitude of application and technology adapters. In addition to the adapter-based integration approach, this product suite supports a wide range of open standards to connect any back-end component in a service-like manner to the middleware infrastructure. This book highlights broker-to-broker connectivity to the SAP Exchange Infrastructure as well as direct communication patterns to the SAP WebApplication Server. This book also illustrates how to integrate data and processes that are located in SAP back-end systems that use IBM Service-Oriented Middleware technology. The adapter-based scenarios use the WebSphere adapters for SAP, and the standards-based integration scenarios use the Web Services and Java Message Service capabilities that are built in to the products of both IBM and SAP. Please note that the additional material referenced in the text is not available from IBM.

    Abstract: This IBM Redbooks publication publication can help you plan and perform the migration of your J2EE applications that are developed for WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V1.1.0.1, enabling them to run on WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - Network Deployment. It includes migration strategy considerations for developing portable applications as well as working migration examples. This book discusses some of the most common migration issues that you might encounter when migrating from J2EE platforms to WebSphere Application Server V6.1. In this book, we use two sample applications to demonstrate how to migrate your J2EE applications. We migrate each application using a different approach and different development tools. In one migration, we use Rational Application Developer V7.0 and, in the other, we use the Application Server Toolkit, which comes with WebSphere Application Server V6.1 - Base. We also describe step-by-step how we built and configured our environment for these migration examples. The audience for this book includes administrators and developers that seek a process and instructions for migrating from WebSphere Application Server Community Edition to the WebSphere Application Server Basic and Network Deployment editions.

    Abstract: The goal of database performance tuning is to minimize the response time of your queries. It is also to optimize your server’s resources by minimizing network traffic, disk I/O, and CPU time. This IBM IBM Redbooks publication helps you to understand the basics of identifying and tuning the performance of Structured Query Language (SQL) statements using IBM DB2 for i5/OS . DB2 for i5/OS provides a comprehensive set of tools that help technical analysts tune SQL queries. The SQL Performance Monitors are part of the set of tools that IBM i5/OS provides for assisting in SQL performance analysis since Version 3 Release 6. These monitors help to analyze database performance problems after SQL requests are run. In V5R4 of i5/OS iSeries Navigator provides a series of new tools to do SQL Performance analysis that we cover in this book. Among the new tools that we will covering are: - Capability of visualizing the contents of the SQE Plan Cache - SQE Plan Cache Snapshots - The new reporting tool - Dashboard - OnDemand Index Advisor - Evaluators such as Index and Materialized Query Tables This book also presents tips and techniques based on the SQL Performance Monitors and other tools, such as Visual Explain and all the tools provided in V5R4. You’ll find this guidance helpful in gaining the most out of both DB2 for i5/OS and query optimizer when using SQL.
