Deutschland und China zwischen Kooperation und Konkurrenz: Eine vergleichende Analyse der Sozialen und Sozialistischen Marktwirtschaft (Ökonomien und Gesellschaften im Wandel)
by Markus Hans-Peter Müller Jonas PolfußDeutschland und China – zwei der größten Ökonomien der Welt – erscheinen in vielerlei Hinsicht sehr gegensätzlich. Deutschland hat den Begriff der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft entscheidend geprägt, China gilt als Land, das die Weltwirtschaft des 21. Jahrhunderts entscheidend beeinflussen wird. Nicht erst seit der Coronavirus-Pandemie kämpfen die westlichen Nationen mit wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen sowie mit der Zustimmung zur liberalen und freiheitlichen demokratischen Ordnung. Zeitgleich steht China wie die westlichen Marktwirtschaften vor beispiellosen ökonomischen und gesellschaftlichen Aufgaben. Die Autoren zeigen auf, wie Deutschland und China mit diesen Herausforderungen umgehen, was beide Ökonomien verbindet und was sie gleichermaßen trennt. Das Buch betrachtet die Entwicklungen und Synergiemöglichkeiten der beiden marktwirtschaftlichen Systeme und analysiert ihre Stärken und Schwächen – fernab von politischen Pauschalisierungen. Es liefert fundierte Antworten in Zeiten emotionaler Debatten über die Neubewertung globaler Kräfteverhältnisse.

Deutschland und die USA im Steuerwettbewerb: Eine Untersuchung der Steuerbelastung nach der US-Steuerreform 2017 (BestMasters)
by Paul ZschockeMit dem Inkrafttreten des Tax Cuts and Jobs Act zum 01.01.2018 haben die USA die größte Reform ihres Steuerrechts seit der Regierung Ronald Reagans unternommen. Die größte Bedeutung wird dabei der deutlichen Herabsetzung des US-Körperschaftssteuersatzes beigemessen. In der Folge kam es in Deutschland ebenso zu einer Diskussion darum, ob eine Senkung des deutschen Körperschaftssteuersatzes durch den internationalen Steuerwettbewerb notwendig ist. Das vorliegende Buch setzt sich mit dieser Forderung auseinander und untersucht die Steuerbelastung deutscher und US-amerikanischer Kapitalgesellschaften mit natürlichen Personen als Gesellschafter vor und nach der US-Steuerreform 2017 in einem dynamischen Modell.
Deutschlands Energiewende – Fakten, Mythen und Irrsinn: Warum es immer schwerer wird, unsere Klimaziele zu erreichen
by Andreas LuczakSchon mehrere Jahrzehnte arbeitet Deutschland an der Energiewende, aber trotz gigantischer Kosten gehen die Treibhausgasemissionen viel zu langsam zurück. Bei diesem „Tempo“ wird die Klimaneutralität erst im nächsten Jahrhundert erreicht. Eine ausführliche Betrachtung der Thematik aus verschiedenen Perspektiven macht deutlich, dass die Energiewende nur ganzheitlich diskutiert werden kann und ein polarisierendes „schwarz-weiß-Denken“ uns nicht weiterbringt. Das Buch möchte eine Orientierung in dem komplexen Umfeld der Energiewende bieten und liefert Antworten auf Fragen wie diese: Welche Folgen hat die Energiewende für Deutschland? Wie sinnvoll sind Elektromobilität und Wasserstoffspeicher wirklich? Ist die Politik für Klimaschutz verantwortlich oder rettet nur persönlicher Verzicht das Klima? Die 2., aktualisierte Auflage.
Deutschlands Energiewende – Fakten, Mythen und Irrsinn: Wie schwer es wirklich ist, unsere Klimaziele zu erreichen
by Andreas LuczakSeit mehreren Jahrzehnten arbeitet Deutschland an der Energiewende, aber trotz gigantischer Kosten gehen die Treibhausgasemissionen hierzulande nur langsam zurück. Das Buch trägt dazu bei, die unzähligen Meldungen zur Energiewende besser einordnen zu können, und liefert Antworten auf Fragen wie diese: Wie berechtigt ist die Kritik an der bisherigen deutschen Klimapolitik? Wie sinnvoll sind Elektromobilität und Wasserstoffspeicher wirklich? Welchen Einfluss hat die Coronakrise? Warum sollte man freiwillig seine persönlichen Emissionen verringern, wenn alle anderen weitermachen wie bisher?Die Betrachtung aus verschiedenen Perspektiven ergibt viele überraschende Aspekte und räumt auf mit gut gemeinten, aber in der Realität wenig wirksamen Vorschlägen zum Klimaschutz.

DevOps for the Modern Enterprise: Winning Practices to Transform Legacy IT Organizations
by Mirco HeringMany organizations are facing the uphill battle of modernizing their legacy IT infrastructure. Most have evolved over the years by taking lessons from traditional or legacy manufacturing: creating a production process that puts the emphasis on the process instead of the people performing the tasks, allowing the organization to treat people like resources to try to achieve high-quality outcomes. But those practices and ideas are failing modern IT, where collaboration and creativeness are required to achieve high-performing, high-quality success.Mirco Hering, a thought leader in managing IT within legacy organizations, lays out a roadmap to success for IT managers, showing them how to create the right ecosystem, how to empower people to bring their best to work every day, and how to put the right technology in the driver's seat to propel their organization to success.But just having the right methods and tools will not magically transform an organization; the cultural change that is the hardest is also the most impactful. Using principles from Agile, Lean, and DevOps as well as first-hand examples from the enterprise world, Hering addresses the different challenges that legacy organizations face as they transform into modern IT departments.

Devaluation and Pricing Decisions: A Case Study Approach (Routledge Revivals)
by Douglas Hague W. E. Oakeshott A. A. StrainFirst published in 1974, Devaluation and Pricing Decisions is based on case studies of the export pricing decisions made by nineteen major British companies after the 1967 devaluation.The aim was to look in detail at the decisions that major British firms took after devaluation and to see how they had responded to this major change in government policy. This book shows how far the firms had anticipated the devaluation; what company objectives were at that time and what changes in these objectives, or in pricing and marketing policies, were made to take advantage of new opportunities for exporting and for import substitution. The researchers also examined the actual process of decision making to find what information was available to the decision makers and how they used it. The book is directed to businessmen taking decisions on export prices and marketing in the world of today where foreign exchange rates change frequently. It is also directed towards those responsible for shaping national economic policy. For students of economics, it represents a study showing, in considerable detail, how a number of businesses responded to the 1967 devaluation.
Devalued and Distrusted
by John L. LamattinaAn expert's view on solving the challenges confronting today's pharmaceutical industryAuthor John LaMattina, a thirty-year veteran of the pharmaceutical industry and former president of Pfizer's Global R&D Division, is internationally recognized as an expert on the pharmaceutical industry. His first book, Drug Truths: Dispelling the Myths About Pharma R&D, was critically acclaimed for clearing up misconceptions about the pharmaceutical industry and providing an honest account of the contributions of pharmaceutical research and development to human health and well-being.As he toured the country discussing Drug Truths, Dr. LaMattina regularly came across people who were filled with anger, accusing the pharmaceutical industry of making up diseases, hiding dangerous side effects, and more. This book was written in response to that experience, critically examining public perceptions and industry realities.Starting with "4 Secrets that Drug Companies Don't Want You to Know," Devalued and Distrusted provides a fact-based account of how the pharmaceutical industry works and the challenges it faces. It addresses such critical issues as:Why pharmaceutical R&D productivity has declinedWhere pharmaceutical companies need to invest their resourcesWhat can be done to solve core health challenges, including cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseasesHow the pharmaceutical industry can regain public trust and resuscitate its imageOur understanding of human health and disease grows daily; however, converting science into medicine is increasingly challenging. Reading Devalued and Distrusted, you'll not only gain a greater appreciation of those challenges, but also the role that the pharmaceutical industry currently plays and can play in solving those challenges.Get to know the author: Read an interview with John LaMattina or watch a video on ChemistryViews!

Develop Strategic Workforce Measures: Differentiated Workforce Performance
by Richard W. Beatty Brian E. Becker Mark A. HuselidWhen thinking strategically about the workforce, senior managers are almost always motivated by concerns about both employee performance and, ultimately, firm performance. Senior HR executives are often asked to demonstrate HR's contribution to firm performance during a discussion of measures, but the available measures generate more questions than answers. The only way to ensure that you know what your measures mean and that you have the right measures is first to have the right workforce strategy, and second, to develop your strategic workforce measures based on that strategy. In this chapter, the authors describe their key principles for strategic measurement and show how to apply them. This chapter was originally published as chapter 6 of "The Differentiated Workforce: Transforming Talent into Strategic Impact."
