Modernes Reputationsmanagement: Der gute Ruf als Schlüssel zum Erfolg

by Ulrich Bihler Florian Müller

Dieses Buch erklärt, wie modernes Reputationsmanagement von Unternehmen und Organisationen erfolgreich und nachhaltig gestaltet werden kann – insbesondere in volatilen Zeiten des digitalen und gesellschaftlichen Wandels. Emotionale Aspekte und vor allem die Frage, wofür ein Unternehmen steht und eintritt, spielen eine immer wichtigere Rolle – zum Beispiel bei der Kaufentscheidung des Kunden. Die Reputation eines Unternehmens als immaterieller Vermögenswert bestimmt damit maßgeblich den Erfolg und muss bei allen unternehmerischen Herausforderungen professionell, integriert und zielorientiert gemanagt werden. Die Beitragsautoren erläutern grundlegende Funktionsweisen von Unternehmensreputation sowie die Wirkmechanismen von Issues und Public Affairs Management für einen guten Ruf. Sie zeigen auf, wie beispielsweise Predictive Analytics, Purpose, Thought-Leadership-Strategien oder multisensuale Stakeholderkommunikation einen dringend notwendigen Perspektivwechsel herbeiführen und wie Interne Kommunikation sowie CEO-Kommunikation einen ganzheitlichen Reputationsansatz unterstützen können.Ein Buch voller überraschender Perspektiven, neuer Zusammenhänge, interessanter Insights und hilfreicher Praxistipps.

Modernism and Modernity in British Women’s Magazines (Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature)

by Alice Wood

This book explores responses to the strangeness and pleasures of modernism and modernity in four commercial British women’s magazines of the interwar period. Through extensive study of interwar Vogue (UK), Eve, Good Housekeeping (UK), and Harper’s Bazaar (UK), Wood uncovers how modernism was received and disseminated by these fashion and domestic periodicals and recovers experimental journalism and fiction within them by an array of canonical and marginalized writers, including Storm Jameson, Rose Macaulay, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf. The book’s analysis is attentive to text and image and to interactions between editorial, feature, and advertising material. Its detailed survey of these largely neglected magazines reveals how they situated radical aesthetics in relation to modernity’s broader new challenges, diversions, and opportunities for women, and how they approached high modernist art and literature through discourses of fashion and celebrity. Modernism and Modernity in British Women’s Magazines extends recent research into modernism’s circulation through diverse markets and publication outlets and adds to the substantial body of scholarship concerned with the relationship between modernism and popular culture. It demonstrates that commercial women’s magazines subversively disrupted and sustained contemporary hierarchies of high and low culture as well as actively participating in the construction of modernism’s public profile.

Modularity and the Motor theory of Speech Perception: Proceedings of A Conference To Honor Alvin M. Liberman

by Michael Studdert-Kennedy Ignatius G. Mattingly

A compilation of the proceedings of a conference held to honor Alvin M. Liberman for his outstanding contributions to research in speech perception, this volume deals with two closely related and controversial proposals for which Liberman and his colleagues at Haskins Laboratories have argued forcefully over the past 35 years. The first is that articulatory gestures are the units not only of speech production but also of speech perception; the second is that speech production and perception are not cognitive processes, but rather functions of a special mechanism. This book explores the implications of these proposals not only for speech production and speech perception, but for the neurophysiology of language, language acquisition, higher-level linguistic processing, the visual perception of phonetic gestures, the production and perception of sign language, the reading process, and learning to read. The contributors to this volume include linguists, psycholinguists, speech scientists, neurophysiologists, and ethologists. Liberman himself responds in the final chapter.

Molecular Communications: An Analysis from Networking Theories Perspective

by Luis Tello-Oquendo Yesenia Cevallos Cristian Vacacela Gómez Talia Tene Deysi Inca Ivone Santillán Albert Espinal Nicolay Samaniego

This book provides a complete analysis of molecular communications systems from the paradigm of TCP/IP network stack, and it exploits network theories (e.g. independent functions of a layer into a stack, addressing, flow control, error control, and traffic control) and applies them to biological systems. The authors show how these models can be applied in different areas such as industry, medicine, engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology, computer sciences, and other disciplines. The authors then explain how it is possible to obtain enormous benefits from these practices when applied in medicine, such as enhancing current treatment of diseases and reducing the side effects of drugs and improving the quality of treatment for patients. The authors show how molecular communications systems, in contrast to existing telecommunication paradigms, use molecules as information carriers. They show how sender biological nanomachines (bio-nano machines) encode data on molecules (signal molecules) and release the molecules into the environment. They go on to explain how the molecules then travel through the environment to reach the receiver bio-nano machines, where they biochemically react with the molecules to decipher information. This book is relevant to those studying telecommunications and biomedical students, engineers, masters, PhDs, and researchers.

Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life

by Bill Minutaglio W. Michael Smith

She was a groomed for a gilded life in moneyed Houston, but Molly Ivins left the country club behind to become one of the most provocative, courageous, and influential journalists in American history. Presidents and senators called her for advice; her column ran in 400 newspapers; her books, starting with Molly Ivins Can't Say That, Can She?, were bestsellers. But despite her fame, few people really knew her: what her background was, who influenced her, how her political views developed, or how many painful struggles she fought. Molly Ivins is a comprehensive, definitive narrative biography, based on intimate knowledge of Molly, interviews with her family, friends, and colleagues, and access to a treasure trove of her personal papers. Written in a rollicking style, it is at once the saga of a powerful, pugnacious woman muscling her way to the top in a world dominated by men; a fascinating look behind the scenes of national media and politics; and a sobering account of the toll of addiction and cancer. Molly Ivins adds layers of depth and complexity to the story of an American legend-a woman who inspired people both to laughter and action.

Mommyblogs and the Changing Face of Motherhood

by May Friedman

Mothers have consistently relied upon one another for guidance and support as they navigate the difficult world of parenting. For many women, the increasingly established online community of "mommyblogs" now provides a source of camaraderie and support that acknowledges both the work of mothering and the implications of its undertaking. Beyond their capacity to entertain, how have mommyblogs shifted our understanding of twenty-first-century motherhood?In examining the content of hundreds of mommyblogs, May Friedman considers the ways that online maternal life writing provides a front row seat to some of the most raw, offbeat, and engaging portraits of motherhood imaginable. Focusing on the composition of the "mamasphere" and on mommyblogs' emphasis on connection, Friedman reveals the changing face of contemporary motherhood - one less concerned with the proscriptions of what good mothers should do, and more invested in what diverse mothers have to say.

Monetary Valuation of Privacy: Analyzing the Consistency of Valuation Methods and Their Influencing Factors (T-Labs Series in Telecommunication Services)

by Vera Schmitt

This book explores the complex domain of personal data valuation, uncovering how individuals perceive the worth of their privacy in an era dominated by digital information exchange. The book delves into the largely scattered empirical research domain of how users value their own data, analyzing how companies like Google and Facebook rely heavily on the continuous collection of personal data to run their business models. By examining concepts like ‘Willingness to Pay’ and ‘Willingness to Accept’ in the context of privacy, the book offers a comprehensive overview of how people navigate the often-ambiguous trade-offs between sharing personal information and safeguarding their privacy. Through an empirical analysis supported by 14 crowdsourcing and two field experiments, the author investigates the influence of various factors—such as Privacy Concerns, Privacy Behavior, and Privacy Literacy—on the monetary assessment of privacy. The book also contrasts different methodological approaches to determine which yields the most reliable results, shedding light on the behavioral biases that can skew data valuation. This book is ideal for anyone interested in the intersection of privacy, economics, and digital ethics. The author not only offers insights into the current landscape but also proposes robust models for understanding and predicting how people value their privacy in different contexts. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or simply a concerned digital citizen, this book provides valuable perspectives on the monetization of personal data and the future of privacy in the digital age.

Money, Murder, and Dominick Dunne: A Life in Several Acts

by Robert Hofler

Dominick Dunne seemed to live his entire adult life in the public eye, but in this biography Robert Hofler reveals a conflicted, enigmatic man who reinvented himself again and again. As a television and film producer in the 1950s–1970s, hobnobbing with Humphrey Bogart and Natalie Wood, he found success and crushing failure in a pitiless Hollywood. As a Vanity Fair journalist covering the lives of the rich and powerful, he mesmerized readers with his detailed coverage of spectacular murder cases—O.J. Simpson, the Menendez brothers, Michael Skakel, Phil Spector, and Claus von Bülow. He had his own television show, Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege, and Justic. His five best-selling novels, including The Two Mrs. Grenvilles, People Like Us, and An Inconvenient Woman, were inspired by real lives and scandals. The brother of John Gregory Dunne and brother-in-law of Joan Didion, he was a friend and confidante of many literary luminaries. Dunne also had the ear of some of the world's most famous women, among them Princess Diana, Nancy Reagan, Liz Smith, Barbara Walters, and Elizabeth Taylor. Dunne admitted to inventing himself, and it was that public persona he wrote about in his own memoir, The Way We Lived Then. Left out of that account, but brought to light here, were his intense rivalry with his brother John Gregory, the gay affairs and relationships he had throughout his marriage and beyond, and his fights with editors at Vanity Fair. Robert Hofler also reveals the painful rift in the family after the murder of Dominick's daughter, Dominique—compounded by his coverage of her killer's trial, which launched his career as a reporter.

Monopoly Mail: Privatizing the United States Postal Service (The\economics Of The Service Sector In Canada Ser.)

by Douglas Adie

First class postage rates have risen from six cents in 1971 to 25 cents in 1988. This rapid increase might be justifiable if service had improved commen-surately, but in fact postal service has steadily deteriorated. The Postal Service concedes that it takes ten percent longer to deliver a first class letter than it did in the 1960s, and one recent postmaster general admits that delivery may have been more reliable in the 1920s. In this volume, Adie reviews the failures of the U.S. Postal Service - an inability to innovate, soaring labor costs, huge deficits, chronic inefficiency, and declining service standards. He blames most of these problems on the postal service's monopoly status. Competition produces efficiency and innovation; monopoly breeds inefficiency, high costs and stagnation. He also examines the experiences of other countries and other industries that may be valuable in prescribing reform for the postal service. The breakup of AT&T provides lessons that may be applied to postal reform. The long-run effects of deregulation on the airline industry are also examined. Since the postal service has serious union problems, Adie looks at the air traffic controllers' strike and other evidence on pay and labor relations in government unions. Finally, Adie examines the experiences of Canada and Great Britain with privatization of government companies. He then offers a comprehensive - and controversial - reform plan for the U.S. Postal Service, with no further monopoly privileges or taxpayer subsidies. He argues that private companies should be free to compete with the Postal Service, and it, in turn, should be free to compete in all phases of the communications business. Without privatization and deregulation, the Postal Service is doomed to continuing inefficiency, rising costs, worsening labor relations, and an increasing loss of customers to more innovative and efficient service providers. Competition would give the Postal Service a chance to enter the 21st ce
