Place-Name Changes

Proceedings of the Symposion in Rome, 17–18 November 2014

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

Languages are promoted by political powers and are dependent on them. In a historical dimension languages come and go depending on political support. Place names as elements of language are part of this historical fluctuation. Due to their symbolic role as markers of geographical features, territories and space-related identities, however, they are even more exposed to political change.

At any time the replacement of the dominant political or cultural force…

Criteria for the Use of Exonyms

Proceedings of the 17th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Zagreb, 14–16 May 2015

Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research

Authors and editors of maps, atlases and all kinds of text publications, including articles in newspapers, as well as journalists of the electronic media, frequently face the problem of which name to use for a geographical feature outside their own country or linguistic community. If a choice of names is available, should they choose a name used by the community residing in or near the feature (endonym), or a name used by the author’s or editor’s community…

Dark Triad in Teams: The Bermuda Triangle of Organization?

Schriftenreihe innovative betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Praxis

Organizations’ work climate is influenced by individuals who are aggressive, bold, and manipulative, with little shame or guilt about their behaviors. These individuals usually generate a toxic work climate in which members rarely communicate with each other, have low commitment to the team and organization, and often engage in counterproductive work behaviors. The unpleasant consequences of employees’ maladaptive behaviors attract interests about dark side of personality…

Location and Strategy – Analyzing the Effect of the Local Environment on a Portfolio of Strategy-Performance-Relationships of Bavarian Key-Tech SMEs

Strategisches Management

„Economic activity is distributed unequally across space [...]“ (Ketels, 2013). This insight is not new. It dates back at least to the nineteenth century, when Alfred Marshalls Principles of Economics (1890) offered a first-of-its-kind analysis of the agglomeration of people and economic activity in geographic space.

Paradoxically, the agglomeration of people and economic activity has continued to be one of the most important phenomena throughout the twentieth…

Learning Styles

A Critical Analysis of the Varied Approaches to Learning Preferences

Schriften zur Pädagogischen Theorie

The term learning style began to appear throughout the educational literature in the 1970s and, like with many comprehensive constructs, its precise definition, and the measurement thereof, remain a matter of somewhat convoluted disagreement. Various researchers have struggled to pinpoint both a comprehensive and functional definition of the construct of learning styles based on a cohesive theoretical framework. However, not only has the semantics of a definition…

Die russischen Mäzene im Exil

Literatur und Kunst im Kreis der Familien Cetlin und Pregel

Schriften zur Literaturgeschichte

Die bisherigen Forschungsbemühungen untersuchen die Blütezeit des Mäzenatentums im 19. Jahrhundert nur bis zum Jahr 1917. Das enorme Ausmaß an Emigration am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts führte zu einem wesentlichen Rückgang der finanziellen Förderungen im Land. Die Tradition, regelmässig zu spenden, verlagerte sich jedoch mit den einzelnen Förderern in die Emigration.

Einige Familien in der Emigration haben sich für den Erhalt der russischen Kultur besonders…
