Ideaship: How to Get Ideas Flowing in Your Workplace
by Jack FosterInnovative, original ideas are a company's most powerful competitive advantage. Nathan Mhyrvold, former chief technology officer at Microsoft, has said that a great employee is worth 1,000 times more than an average one simply because of his or her ideas. In Ideaship, the sequel to his bestselling book, How to Get Ideas, Jack Foster shifts from how individuals spark their new ideas to how to unleash the creative genius of an entire organization. To create an idea-prone workforce, Foster proposes a totally new concept of leadership: "ideaship." Leaders shouldn't be spending their time obsessing over profits or sales or quality or service. Instead, they should devote most of their energies to making the office a place where creative ideas flow, where the workforce truly believes in its ability to brilliantly solve any problem put before it. Above all, where it's fun to work. With energy and humor, Foster draws on over thirty-five years as creative director of major advertising agencies-organizations whose only purpose is to constantly generate ideas-to offer dozens of fun, fast, often surprising nuggets of practical advice on how to create an environment where innovation and fresh thinking thrive. He reveals why you should only hire people you like, insist employees take vacations whether they want to or not, why efficiency is sometimes inefficient, and how sometimes you can accomplish more by playing the fool instead of the capital L "Leader." Ideaship spells out proven ways to encourage creativity, simply and clearly and cogently, without a lot of charts and graphs and formulas and acronyms and statistics and fillers. It flips traditional leadership on its head and shows how simple acts of compassion, trust, and generosity of spirit, as well as some seemingly zany actions, can unleash unexpected, vital bursts of creativity.

Ideengeschichte der BWL II: Produktion, OR, Innovation, Marketing, Finanzierung, Nachhaltigkeit, ÖBWL, Internationales Management
by Wenzel Matiaske Dieter SadowskiDie Betriebswirtschaftslehre hat in der jüngeren Vergangenheit kein allzu großes Interesse an der eigenen ideengeschichtlichen Entwicklung gezeigt. Dafür gibt es verschiedene Gründe wie das enorme Wachstum des Faches und die erfolgreiche Internationalisierung, was wenig Zeit für rückblickende Selbstvergewisserung und Raum zur Entfaltung der disziplinären Eigenständigkeit im multidisziplinären Umfeld ließ. Selbstvergessenheit ob der eigenen Disziplin führt allerdings nicht nur dazu, dass eine Disziplin Problemlösungen häufiger erneut erfindet statt an vorhandenen Ansätzen anzuknüpfen, sondern birgt vor allem auch die Gefahr, dass die konstituierenden Probleme und Fragestellungen verloren gehen.In der deutschsprachigen Betriebswirtschaftslehre besteht deshalb seit einigen Jahren das wieder entfachte Interesse und Bemühen, wichtige Beiträge zu der Ideengeschichte der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und den Wurzeln des Faches in das wissenschaftliche Bewusstsein zu rücken. Dieses Buch leistet dazu einen wichtigen Beitrag. Es setzt die Diskussion fort und konzentriert sich auf die Gebiete Produktion, Operations Research, Innovation, Marketing, Finanzierung, Nachhaltigkeits-Management, Öffentliche BWL, Nonprofit- und Internationales Management.Die Autoren identifizieren und diskutieren markante Ideen und Beiträge zur Entwicklung des Faches. Neben dem Blick zurück wird auch der aktuelle Zustand des Faches betrachtet. Auf dieser Grundlage werden denkbare weitere Entwicklungslinien von den Autoren abgeleitet.
Ideengeschichte der BWL: ABWL, Organisation, Personal, Rechnungswesen und Steuern
by Wolfgang Weber Wenzel MatiaskeDieses Buch erläutert und entwickelt das Profil der Betriebswirtschaftslehre weiter und liefert wichtige Beiträge zur Ideengeschichte der Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Das Buch konzentriert sich dabei insbesondere auf die Gebiete Organisation, Personal, Rechnungswesen, Steuern und Allgemeine Betriebswirtschaftslehre. Gegenwärtig zeichnet sich die Möglichkeit ab, dass sich die fachlichen Teilgebiete der Betriebswirtschaftslehre verselbständigen. Dazu trägt auch, aber nicht nur, das mittlerweile weltweit dominierende angelsächsische Verständnis des Faches bei, das durch eine weitgehende Zersplitterung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Teilgebiete gekennzeichnet werden kann. In der deutschsprachigen Betriebswirtschaftslehre besteht deshalb seit einigen Jahren das wieder entfachte Interesse und Bemühen, wichtige Beiträge zu der Ideengeschichte der Betriebswirtschaftslehre und den Wurzeln des Faches in das wissenschaftliche Bewusstsein zu rücken. Dieses Buch leistet dazu einen wichtigen Beitrag. Die Autoren identifizieren und diskutieren markante Ideen und Beiträge zur Entwicklung des Faches. Neben dem Blick zurück wird auch der aktuelle Zustand des Faches betrachtet. Auf dieser Grundlage werden denkbare weitere Entwicklungslinien von den Autoren abgeleitet.
IdentiGEN
by Matthew Preble Ray A. GoldbergCiaran Meghen and Ronan Loftus, co-founders of IdentiGEN (an Irish company that had created a unique service called DNA TraceBack to help customers identify and trace meat products), were discussing the company's future. The recent crisis over beef products being contaminated with horsemeat in Europe had generated strong demand for IdentiGEN's services. But more than this, DNA TraceBack gave customers strong insight into their operations to ensure product was genuine, and helped facilitate a continuous feedback loop between all players of the supply chain to deliver a high quality product to consumers. In light of strong demand, how should IdentiGEN proceed in terms of which customers to work with, and which products should it support?
Identification Problems in the Social Sciences
by Charles F. ManskiThis book provides a language and a set of tools for finding bounds on the predictions that social and behavioral scientists can logically make from nonexperimental and experimental data. The economist Charles F. Manski draws on examples from criminology, demography, epidemiology, social psychology, and sociology as well as economics to illustrate this language and to demonstrate the broad usefulness of the tools. There are many traditional ways to present identification problems in econometrics, sociology, and psychometrics. Some of these are primarily statistical in nature, using concepts such as flat likelihood functions and nondistinct parameter estimates. Manski’s strategy is to divorce identification from purely statistical concepts and to present the logic of identification analysis in ways that are accessible to a wide audience in the social and behavioral sciences. In each case, problems are motivated by real examples with real policy importance, the mathematics is kept to a minimum, and the deductions on identifiability are derived giving fresh insights. Manski begins with the conceptual problem of extrapolating predictions from one population to some new population or to the future. He then analyzes in depth the fundamental selection problem that arises whenever a scientist tries to predict the effects of treatments on outcomes. He carefully specifies assumptions and develops his nonparametric methods of bounding predictions. Manski shows how these tools should be used to investigate common problems such as predicting the effect of family structure on children’s outcomes and the effect of policing on crime rates. Successive chapters deal with topics ranging from the use of experiments to evaluate social programs, to the use of case-control sampling by epidemiologists studying the association of risk factors and disease, to the use of intentions data by demographers seeking to predict future fertility. The book closes by examining two central identification problems in the analysis of social interactions: the classical simultaneity problem of econometrics and the reflection problem faced in analyses of neighborhood and contextual effects.
Identifikation von regional- und zielgruppenspezifischen Treibern und Hemmnissen nachhaltiger Wohnimmobilien: Eine empirische Analyse (BestMasters)
by Anna Gabriella KienleinDie vorliegende Arbeit untersucht zielgruppenspezifische und regionale Treiber und Hemmnisse nachhaltiger Wohnimmobilien bei der Miet- bzw. Kaufentscheidung von Mietern und Eigentümern. Zur Ergründung der Thematik wird zunächst theoretisch erläutert, wie sich die Begriffe „Nachhaltigkeit“, „nachhaltige Immobilie“, „Region“ und „Zielgruppe“ definieren lassen und welche wichtigen Aspekte es dabei gibt. Auffällig und wichtig zu erwähnen ist z. B., dass der Begriff „nachhaltige Immobilie“ keine feste Definition besitzt, sondern häufig unterschiedlich verstanden und definiert wird. Es werden die wichtigsten Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierungssysteme vorgestellt und analysiert, welche Forschungsarbeiten auf dem Feld der nachhaltigen Immobilie schon durchgeführt wurden, um Forschungslücken sowie Forschungsfragen zu identifizieren. Um die daraus abgeleiteten Forschungsfragen beantworten zu können, werden Daten von über 400 Teilnehmern in einer empirischen Umfrage untersucht und ausgewertet. Aus den Ergebnissen der Empirie werden Persona-Konzepte abgeleitet, die z. B. Entscheidern in der Immobilienprojektentwicklung dazu dienen können, ihr Produkt nachhaltig und sinnvoll an den Kunden auszurichten.

Identifying Consumption: Subjects and Objects in Consumer Society
by Robert G. DunnIdentifying Consumption illustrates how an individual's buying habits are shaped by the dynamics of the consumer marketplace--and thus how consumption and identity inform each other. Robert Dunn brings together the various theories of spending and develops a mode of analysis concentrating on the individual subjectivity of consumption. By doing so, he addresses how we spend and its relationship with status and lifestyle. Dunn provides a comprehensive guide to the study of modern consumer behavior before summarizing and critiquing the major theories of consumption. At this juncture, he proposes a method of analysis that focuses on the significance of status and lifestyle in social relations that can help explain how the consumer marketplace is shaped. He concludes by raising issues about different ways of consuming and the relationship between consumption and identity.
Identifying Emerging Issues in Disaster Risk Reduction, Migration, Climate Change and Sustainable Development
by Karen Sudmeier-Rieux Manuela Fernández Ivanna M. Penna Michel Jaboyedoff J. C. GaillardThe proposed book is a timely contribution to researchers, students, scholars and policy makers in the fields of environment, human geography, development and disaster studies towards providing a more comprehensive grasp of contemporary development issues. Contributions include well-known practitioners and scientists that provide theoretical discussions as well as field observations regarding climate change adaptation, migration, disaster risk reduction and sustainable development linkages from around the world. One of the main barriers to furthering our understanding about the inter-linkages between these forces of development (or lack thereof) is the silo approach with which we address such issues. In spite of political talk about how to bridge gaps between climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction, institutional architectures and frameworks maintain the divisions. The goal of this book is to explore these inter-linkages from a number of different geographical, social and natural science angles and contribute to the debate about how to improve disaster risk reduction (DRR) policies and practices, taking into account migration process from a large perspective where both natural and social factors are crucial and mutually "alloyed".
