Four-Phase-Model for the Implementation of Shared Services
This thesis focuses on the implementation and conception of shared services within large-scale enterprises in Germany. The review of the existing literature, publications and studies concerning the shared service concept led to the conclusion that shared services are discussed in a comprehensive way in practice and science. However, at the same time, the publications appear to highlight only certain aspects of the concept.
The main objective of this thesis is […]

Balance Measurement Methods in Data Envelopment Analysis
Concept, Models and Applications
QM – Quantitative Methoden in Forschung und Praxis
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is a benchmarking tool that evaluates the relative efficiency by comparing peer decision making units (DMUs) which transform varying quantities of the same set of inputs into varying amounts of the same set of outputs. The efficiency score is defined as the ratio of the weighted sum of outputs to the weighted sum of inputs. Input and output weights are not a priori specified but determined model endogenously. Consequently each DMU is free […]

Trends in Exonym Use
Proceedings of the 10th UNGEGN Working Group on Exonyms Meeting, Tainach, 28-30 April 2010
Name & Place – Contributions to Toponymic Literature and Research
Exonyme im Sinne von geographischen Namen für Objekte außerhalb des eigenen Sprachgebiets zählen neben Namen in mehrsprachigen Gebieten zu den strittigsten Themen in der Toponymie. Sie werden oft als Ausdruck von Besitzansprüchen oder einer nostalgischen Haltung gedeutet. Auch in der 1967 gegründeten Expertengruppe der Vereinten Nationen für geographische Namen (United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, UNGEGN) stehen sie häufig im Mittelpunkt der […]

Resource Wealth and Sustainable Development
A Comparative Analysis of the GCC Countries
Studienreihe Volkswirtschaften der Welt
Natural resource-rich countries that are dependent on revenues generated from the sale of the resources, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council countries Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates face several challenges. They can be classified as challenges arising by nature (non-renewability and depletability) and by dependence on the natural resource. The challenges arising from dependence on resources are described in the resource curse […]

Limited Editions: When Conformists Behave Like Snobs and Snobs Behave Like Conformists
Studien zum Konsumentenverhalten
The marketing literature often assumes that snobs have a preference for rather unique products, while conformists have a preference for products of a more popular nature. At the same time, however, Western consumers have a preference for being unique or individualistic. Not surprisingly, consumers are often confronted with advertising which highlights the exclusivity or uniqueness of a product. This is especially the case when people are faced with limited editions. […]

Social Networks and the Organizational Knowledge Transfer Process
Relational and Structural Effects on the Micro-Phase of Knowledge Acquisition
Schriftenreihe innovative betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung und Praxis
The capability to effectively transfer and leverage knowledge from all kinds of resources has become one of the important sources of competitive advantage, innovativeness, and sustained firm performance. Prior research has shown that the internal social networks of a firm contribute to the transfer of knowledge. The knowledge transfer process, however, has not been consistently defined, but is strongly related to both the organizational learning processes and the […]

Equity Markets and the Real Economy
The author analyzes the influence of investors’ macroeconomic expectations on the U.S. equity market by focusing on three central issues: First, “Do investors’ equity risk premia expectations depend on overall business conditions? Hereby, the importance of economic conditions for doubtlessly one of the most essential value drivers of stock markets is tackled. The knowledge of how strong the real economic situation influences equity risk premia expectations and thus the […]

Not Just for the Money,
but What For?
An Experimental and Empirical Analysis of Immaterial, Tangible and Monetary Incentives
One of the great challenges in personnel economics is how to align employee’s best interest to that of the employer. The literature on incentive theory has up to now focused mostly on monetary incentives. Indeed, many facts speak in their favor. Money is storable, fungible, easily tradable, and mainly independent of the recipient’s preference because of its option value. But recent empirical findings suggest that monetary incentives, like piece rates, can backfire. The […]

Norms and the Development of New Knowledge as Determinants of Climate Policy
Theoretical Considerations and Empirical Evidence
The evaluation of long-term effects of climate change in cost-benefit analysis has a long tradition in environmental economics. Since the publication of the “Stern Review? in 2006, the debate about the impacts of climate change on the economy and how to compare cost and benefits with each other was revived. The assessment of climate change mitigation policies mainly depends on three not mutually exclusive decisions: First, the discount rate chosen, since costs are […]
