Business & Personal Finance

Erich Mühsam: Gegen das Vergessen – Ausgewählte Werke und Schriften • Für die eBook-Ausgabe neu editiert • Mit voll verlinktem, detailliertem Inhaltsverzeichnis • Mit einem aktuellen Vorwort (Jan/2013) Freidenker, Freiheitskämpfer, Revoluzzer. Es gibt Fotos, auf denen ähnelt der junge Erich Mühsam der Revolutions-Ikone Che Guevara. Und ähnlich konsequent und radikal war er in seinem Denken. Zwar war es Erich Mühsam durchaus nicht in die Wiege gelegt, Revoluzzer zu werden. Doch das dritte Kind des gutbürgerlichen Lübecker Apothekers Siegfried Seligmann Mühsam und dessen Frau Rosalie verspürte schon früh den Drang, gesellschaftliche Missstände aufzudecken, politische Unterdrückung anzuprangern und für wahrhafte demokratische Emanzipation zu kämpfen. In Berlin und später München wird er Zentralfigur der künstlerischen Bohème und des revolutionären antifaschistischen Freiheitskampfes, immer wieder von einem erzkonservativen vor-nationalsozialistischen Regime angeklagt und in Haft genommen. Mühsam gehört zu den Initiatoren und Anführern der Münchner Räterepublik ab dem 7. April 1919, die jedoch nur wenige Wochen Bestand hat, bis sie von Rechtsnationalen überfallen wird. Wieder wird er verhaftet. Mit der Machtergreifung der Nazis wird Widerstand vollends unmöglich. In der Nacht vom 27. auf den 28. Februar 1933 – es ist die Nacht des Reichstagsbrandes – schlagen die Nazis zu und verhaften ihn in seiner Berliner Wohnung. Anderthalb Jahre später, am 10. Juli 1934, wird Erich Mühsam im KZ Oranienburg von SS-Schergen ermordet. Erich Mühsam wurde auf dem Waldfriedhof Dahlem in Berlin beigesetzt. Heute sind viele Straßen und Plätze in ganz Deutschland nach ihm benannt. Diese Ausgabe erhebt nicht den Anspruch, eine Gesamtausgabe von Erich Mühsams Werk zu sein. Unsere rund 400 Buchseiten umfassende Auswahl bietet aber einen hervorragenden Querschnitt aus Mühsams literarischem und journalistischem Schaffen. Aus dem Inhalt: • Von Eisner bis Leviné – Die Entstehung der bayerischen Räterepublik, 1920 • Judas – Arbeiter-Drama in fünf Akten, 1920 • Ein Mann des Volkes (Romanmanuskript, Fragment), 1921 • Die Psychologie der Erbtante, Eine satirische Studie, 1905 • Verschiedene Stücke, zwischen 1902 und 1925, u.a.: Der Anarchisterich, 1902 Die Boheme, 1903 Die Demokraten, 1904 Die Ratte, 1905 Der Revoluzzer – Der deutschen Sozialdemokratie gewidmet, 1907 Ein Gespräch bei Königsberger Klops Appell an den Geist Der Gefangene, August 1919 Das neue Deutschland, 1919 Das Volk der Denker, September 1924 • Verschiedene Stücke aus der »Vossischen Zeitung«, 1927–29, u.a.: Soll man Memoiren schreiben? Latente Talente Namen und Menschen Die zehnte Muse Wanderjahre Berliner Nachlese Schwabing Wiener Episode Pariser Eindrücke Die Gräfin Brutstätten der Münchener Kultur Rummelplätze des Geistes Der gute Richter Frank Wedekinds letzte Jahre • Aphorismen eClassica – Die Buchreihe, die Klassiker neu belebt.

Superforecasting

Superforecasting

Business & Personal Finance

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST “The most important book on decision making since Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow.”—Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal   Everyone would benefit from seeing further into the future, whether buying stocks, crafting policy, launching a new product, or simply planning the week’s meals. Unfortunately, people tend to be terrible forecasters. As Wharton professor Philip Tetlock showed in a landmark 2005 study, even experts’ predictions are only slightly better than chance. However, an important and underreported conclusion of that study was that some experts do have real foresight, and Tetlock has spent the past decade trying to figure out why. What makes some people so good? And can this talent be taught?   In Superforecasting, Tetlock and coauthor Dan Gardner offer a masterwork on prediction, drawing on decades of research and the results of a massive, government-funded forecasting tournament. The Good Judgment Project involves tens of thousands of ordinary people—including a Brooklyn filmmaker, a retired pipe installer, and a former ballroom dancer—who set out to forecast global events. Some of the volunteers have turned out to be astonishingly good. They’ve beaten other benchmarks, competitors, and prediction markets. They’ve even beaten the collective judgment of intelligence analysts with access to classified information. They are "superforecasters."   In this groundbreaking and accessible book, Tetlock and Gardner show us how we can learn from this elite group. Weaving together stories of forecasting successes (the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound) and failures (the Bay of Pigs) and interviews with a range of high-level decision makers, from David Petraeus to Robert Rubin, they show that good forecasting doesn’t require powerful computers or arcane methods. It involves gathering evidence from a variety of sources, thinking probabilistically, working in teams, keeping score, and being willing to admit error and change course. Superforecasting offers the first demonstrably effective way to improve our ability to predict the future—whether in business, finance, politics, international affairs, or daily life—and is destined to become a modern classic.

Place Based Approaches to Sustainability Volume II

Place Based Approaches to Sustainability Volume II

Business & Personal Finance

Without respecting and nurturing ‘place’ we cannot achieve a state of ecological sustainability. Place-based organizations are not run on a purely materialistic basis. The non-materialistic features of a place, its aesthetics, cultural heritage, community feelings, transcendence, should be integrated into sustainability management. This far-reaching two-volume work breaks with the economic logic of efficiency and profit maximization, and suggests that organizations should inform their sustainability by encompassing feelings of identity with and attachment to place.According to this vision, the editors have compiled scholarly contributions aimed to support the ecological transformation of humankind by exploring both theoretical and practical models that integrate the sense of the place, ethics and spirituality in new ways of organizing of economic and social life. This second volume takes the theoretical direction, established in the first model, and puts it into practice withcases from business and society. It will be of interest to scholars, practitioners and students of sustainability, business ethics and spirituality.Mara Del Baldo is Associate Professor of Accounting and Business Administration, Economics of Sustainability and Accountability at the University of Urbino, Italy, Department of Economics, Society and Politics.Maria-Gabriella Baldarelli is Associate Professor of Accounting, University of Bologna, Department of Management, Rimini Campus, Italy.Elisabetta Righini is Full Professor of Commercial Law and Law of Trade and Financial Markets at the School of Law and the School of Economics of University of Urbino, Italy.

Adolescents, Family and Consumer Behaviour

Buying decision making is a complicated process, in which a consumer’s decision is under the influence of others. The buyer’s decision making is directed in such a way that they must act as a consumer in society. Media and family are key socializing agents for adolescents. Moreover, changes in the socio-cultural environment in India necessitate that adolescents’ influence in family’s buying decision making should be investigated. In comparison to Western society, Indian society is quite different when compared in terms of family composition and structure, behavior, values and norms which impact adolescents’ buying decision making.Adolescents, Family and Consumer Behaviour studies the role of consumer socialization agents for adolescents, examining socio-economic factors that influence adolescents’ buying decision making in Indian urban families. It aims to discover the influence tactics that adolescents employ and to qualitatively analyse how marketers in turn influence adolescents. It addresses the topics with regard to strategic management and marketing and will be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and students in the fields of management, entrepreneurship, small business management, and human resource management.
