Employability of Foreign Higher Education Graduates in Germany

A Grounded Theory Study of Factors, Processes and Action Strategies

Studien zur Berufs- und Professionsforschung

The number of foreign students enrolled in German higher education has grown for decades – reaching 128,500 new enrolments and a total number of 440,500 students in 2022.

However, the real employment outcomes continue to fall short of the promising expectations. As…

Keyword Advertising and Dynamic Pricing

An Integrated Model and its Application to an Online Market Place

QM – Quantitative Methoden in Forschung und Praxis

The emergence of Keyword Advertising as a special form of personalized online advertisement has played an indispensable role in the success of web search engines. The costs for Keyword Advertising are determined by a generalized auction that is conducted for every single search query entered in by a user.

Nachvertragliche Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen von Arbeitnehmern in multinationalen Konzernen

Eine rechtsvergleichende Untersuchung des deutschen und englischen Rechts

Schriftenreihe arbeitsrechtliche Forschungsergebnisse

Der Schutz wettbewerbsrelevanten Know-Hows ist angesichts des sich stetig verschärfenden Wettlaufs um spezifisches Wissen und qualifizierte Mitarbeiter für Arbeitgeber von zunehmender Bedeutung. Sowohl das deutsche als auch das englische Recht stellen mit nachvertraglichen Wettbewerbsbeschränkungen Instrumente bereit, mittels deren Arbeitnehmer und das in ihrer Person konzentrierte Wissen über die Beendigung des Arbeitsverhältnisses hinaus exklusiv gebunden werden können.…

Geschickt bewegen im Alter

Gleichgewichtstraining auf natürlich variierenden Untergründen

Schriften zur Bewegungswissenschaft

Ursachen für eine Vielzahl von Unfällen sind nicht allein in der individuellen Konstitution zu suchen, sondern ergeben sich in dynamischen Situationen. Dies wird im Bereich des Gesundheits- oder Präventionssportes oft nicht angemessen berücksichtigt – das Ziel, situativ agieren zu können, blieb bislang meist ein sportspielspezifisches Trainingsziel.

Theory and Applications

Schriftenreihe volkswirtschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

When it comes to sustainability, most people, particularly in Europe, think of an environmental concept to conserve access to natural resources for our offspring. Rooted in forestry, any concept would be called sustainable that ensures long-term use of a certain resource without exploiting its stock. The United Nations’ environmental summit of Rio de Janeiro in 1991 further manifested sustainability as a purely environmental concept. Sustainable development was defined as…

Producing Verbal Play in English

A Contrastive Study of Advanced German Learners of English and English Native Speakers

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

Verbal play production feeds on the ability to deliberately manipulate language. It is frequently employed by native speakers (of English) in human interaction to achieve a communicative goal „with a laugh?. Foreign language learners hardly employ such strategic moves. Research into foreign language play typically observes and categorizes spontaneous humorous productions. In contrast, the focus of this study is on planned English punning. It aims to uncover the respective…

An Analysis of Complex Prepositional Lexemes

PHILOLOGIA – Sprachwissenschaftliche Forschungsergebnisse

The COLLINS Cambridge International Dictionary of English illustrates the meaning of prefixed OVER with a contemporarys characterisation of American troops in Britain during World War II: Overpaid, overfed, oversexed and over here.

The meaning of OVER in these compounds in fact represents the meaning found with the vast majority of complex lexemes containing the preposition as a first constituent.…
