Möglichkeiten von E-Business in der Investitionsgüterindustrie

Nachdem E-Business in den vergangenen Jahren bereits in den Bereichen Informationstechnik, Handel und der Konsumgüterindustrie Einzug gefunden hat, wird das Thema zunehmend auch für die Investitionsgüterindustrie relevant. Maschinen- und Anlagenbetreiber erwarten von den Herstellern immer schnellere, kostengünstigere und umfangreichere Servicedienstleistungen. Um diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, erschließen Hersteller vermehrt die Potentiale neuer Informationstechnologien (IT), wie z. B. das Anbieten von Leistungen aus der Ferne (Teleservice) oder über das Internet (E-Service). Als Resultat ergibt sich ein maßgeschneidertes Dienstleistungsportfolio für den Kunden. Außerdem müssen Hersteller, aufgrund der zunehmenden Notwendigkeit, weltweit im After-Sales zu operieren, sich zusätzlich mit der Fragestellung befassen, ob sie ein eigenes weltweit operierendes Servicenetzwerk aufbauen oder Kooperation eingehen. Der Einsatz moderner Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien kann dabei helfen, die verschiedenen Dienstleistungen effizient und schnell anzubieten.

Knowledge Service Engineering Handbook

Business & Personal Finance

Edited by Jussi Kantola, the founding faculty member of the world’s first university Knowledge Service Engineering Department at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and Waldemar Karwowski from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems at UCF, Knowledge Service Engineering Handbook defines what knowledge services engineering means and how it is different from service engineering and service production. This groundbreaking handbook explores recent advances in knowledge service engineering from the accomplished researchers and practitioners in this field from around the world and provides engineering, systemic, industry, and consumer use viewpoints to knowledge service systems and engineering paradigms. The handbook outlines how to acquire and utilize knowledge in the 21st century presenting multiple cultural aspects including US, European, and Asian perspectives. Organized into four parts, it begins with an introduction to the main concepts of knowledge services. It then explores data, information and knowledge based engineering methods and applications that can be used to develop knowledge services, followed by discussions of the importance of human networks in knowledge services. The handbook concludes with descriptions of high-performance knowledge service systems. This structure allows different uses: the information can be looked up as needed or read in the order presented. As with any new field, the excitement lies in seeing how to combine these advances in data, information, and human parts of knowledge services in the future. While most books on this subject concentrate on data, information, or knowledge, this handbook integrates coverage of all three, thus providing a complete examination of sustainable knowledge services. The handbook has been carefully designed to be of use to professionals who develop new knowledge services and related businesses, for academic researchers and lecturers to start new research projects, and for students studying knowledge services, knowledge service production, and knowledge service business.

Mojo

Business & Personal Finance

Het momentum van succes Mojo is het moment dat we iets doelbewust, krachtig en positief doen en dat de rest van de wereld als zodanig herkent. Dit boek gaat over dat moment – hoe we het kunnen creëren in ons leven, het kunnen onderhouden en hoe we het terug kunnen krijgen als we het nodig hebben. Marshall Goldsmith laat zien hoe je mojo krijgt en houdt voor succes in je carrière. Het bezit van zakelijk of persoonlijk mojo betekent controle over drie elementen: identiteit (wie denk jij dat je bent?), prestaties (wat heb jij de afgelopen tijd gedaan?) en reputatie (wie denken andere mensen dat jij bent, wat denken andere mensen dat jij de afgelopen tijd hebt gedaan?). Goldsmith beschrijft de positieve acties van leiders – met hun team of individueel – waardoor ze winnaars worden en blijven. Organisaties en personen – van Apple tot Harley-Davidson, van Richard Nixon tot Robert Downey Jr. – hebben aangetoond dat het kan. Goldsmith leert je hoe je vanuit je mojo kunt werken. Zijn inzichten zijn niet alleen waardevol voor topmensen en hun bedrijven, maar voor iedereen. Ze zorgen ervoor dat we het beste uit onszelf gaan en blijven halen.

Principles and Practices of Corporate Governance

Business & Personal Finance

The book places ownership at the center of all relevant choices that the company makes: in particular, it addresses the "problem" of governance from the perspective of ownership, and in a broader and more articulated sense than most Anglo-Saxon studies. The authors analyze the relationship between ownership, governance, and corporate strategy, with a dual objective. On the one hand, the aim is to identify the consistency relationships between the governance structure of the company and its results, because of the centrality that it assumes with respect to many of the strategic choices that companies make. On the other hand, the objective is to consider possible variants to the "basic scheme," going to investigate the role of ownership, governance and management from a contingency perspective, i.e. in different types of enterprise: public companies, multinational enterprises, state-owned enterprises, and especially family-owned enterprises are analyzed. The second part of the book analyzes, in a number of countries, different economic and business systems and their role in defining the type of corporate governance that has emerged. The assumption is that national business and economic cultures as well as historical, economic, juridical, and institutional dimensions play a crucial role in shaping the debate triggered by the corporate scandals and the implementation of corporate governance.
