Corporate Germany Between Globalization and Regional Place Dependence - C. Berndt - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Corporate Germany Between Globalization and Regional Place Dependence - C. Berndt - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Christian Berndt investigates how selected corporate actors in German small and medium-sized enterprises and in large companies respond to globalisation and the apparent crisis of the German model. By exploring the role of economic and non-economic factors in shaping business strategies he argues that, rather than simply being formal opposites, forces of dynamic change and irrational persistence are intertwined.

Studies in Islamic Social Sciences - Masudul Alam Choudhury - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Studies in Islamic Social Sciences - Masudul Alam Choudhury - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book is a project toward the continuing theme of the Islamic worldview of economy-society-institution interactions in national and international forums, wherein individual and group preferences are created and sustained by the regeneration of knowledge into higher levels of realising truth. Truth and the medium of knowledge for realising higher levels of truth, are argued to be the only most immutable character of all systems.

Street Scenes - S. Aronson Lehavi - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Street Scenes - S. Aronson Lehavi - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Street Scenes offers a theory of late medieval acting and performance through a fresh and original reading of the Tretise of Miraclis Pleyinge. The performance theory perspective employed here, along with the examination of actor/character dialectics, paves the way to understanding both religious theatre and the complexity of late medieval theatricalities. Sharon Aronson-Lehavi demonstrates the existence of a late medieval discourse about the double appeal of theatre performance: an artistic medium enacting sacred history while simultaneously referring to the present lives of its creators and spectators.

Memory and Political Change - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Memory and Political Change - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

While political systems may change comparatively quickly, the social and cultural processes of adaptation and transformation take considerably longer.

Written by authors from different cultural and disciplinary backgrounds, the essays chart the terrain and supply well-documented case studies to extend knowledge on the relationship between social and political memory and the transition process.

Media, Bureaucracies, and Foreign Aid - Douglas A. Van Belle - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Media, Bureaucracies, and Foreign Aid - Douglas A. Van Belle - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This is the first sustained comparative examination of the importance of media attention on the provision of economic assistance, suggesting that the news media is an important medium for policy makers to gauge potential domestic political pressures and thus the need to be responsive and even anticipatory in addressing problems real or perceived. Particular attention is paid to the responsiveness of bureaucracies, long held to be among the most insulated institutions of government. Cross-national in scope, this book looks at the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, France and Japan, facilitating a nuanced understanding of the interaction of international and domestic politics as mediated by the media.

Exchange-Traded Funds - A.seddik Meziani - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Exchange-Traded Funds - A.seddik Meziani - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

With Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) sponsors constantly making new types of ETFs available, there is now a variety of ETFs that provide investors with an opportunity to develop diversified investment portfolios. Their sophistication has also grown to include a breed of ETFs that do not passively track the performance of an underlying index. With this assortment of newer ETFs, and more on the way, market strategists are now capable of devising all-ETF portfolios based on a multitude of asset allocation schemes that respond to the need of their clients. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the changes brought about by ETFs. It describes and analyses recent changes alongside their impact on investment portfolios, and discusses the continuing success of index-based ETFs and the reasons underlying their long-lasting achievements. The book offers an objective discourse on the newly minted smart beta ETFs and some of the issues surrounding them, and provides an overview of how the increasingly widespread ETF-based portfolio hedging strategies are constructed and implemented.Paying particular attention to the importance of asset allocation and the essential role it plays in portfolio construction, this book explores the role played by ETFs in changing investors’ attitudes toward home bias, covering both established and emerging frontier markets. The author leverages his extensive background to integrate best professional practices and academic rigor for an increased understanding of the ever-evolving world of ETFs.

Language and Manipulation in House of Cards - Sandrine Sorlin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Language and Manipulation in House of Cards - Sandrine Sorlin - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book is to date the first monograph-length study of the popular American political TV series House of Cards . It proposes an encompassing analysis of the first three seasons from the unusual angles of discourse and dialogue. The study of the stylistic idiosyncrasies of the ruthless main protagonist, Frank Underwood, is completed by a pragmatic and cognitive approach exposing the main characters’ manipulative strategies to win over the other. Taking into account the socio-cultural context and the specificities of the TV medium, the volume focuses on the workings of interaction as well as the impact of the direct address to the viewer. The book critically uses the latest theories in pragmatics and stylistics in its attempt at providing a pragma-rhetorical theory of manipulation.

The Rise of the Japanese Specialist Manufacturer - Ferguson Evans - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Rise of the Japanese Specialist Manufacturer - Ferguson Evans - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Manufacturing forms the base of the Japanese economy and will continue to do so. It is supported by a host of specialists both in end-user products and intermediary components. Many of these specialists are not behemoths; they can be described as leading medium-sized enterprises, or LMEs. This book traces the rise of these LMEs. It shows how they forged their own course - often at variance with the ideas of the central authorities - honing their art of monozukuri, or making things. At each point in the historical narrative actual entrepreneurs and the LMEs they created are cited. Having contributed handsomely to Japan''s industrial evolution from industrialization to the information age, these LMEs are now globalizing, and in so doing assuming a role as East Asian regional specialists.

Language Policy and Economics: The Language Question in Africa - Nkonko M. Kamwangamalu - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Language Policy and Economics: The Language Question in Africa - Nkonko M. Kamwangamalu - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses the perennial question of how to promote Africa’s indigenous languages as medium of instruction in educational systems. Breaking with the traditional approach to the continent’s language question by focusing on the often overlooked issue of the link between African languages and economic development, Language Policy and Economics argues that African languages are an integral part of a nation’s socio-political and economic development. Therefore, the book argues that any language policy designed to promote these languages in such higher domains as the educational system in particular must have economic advantages if the intent is to succeed, and proposes Prestige Planning as the way to address this issue. The proposition is a welcome break away from language policies which pay lip-service to the empowerment of African languages while, by default, strengthening the stranglehold of imported European languages.

Memory, Forgetting and the Moving Image - Caterina Albano - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Memory, Forgetting and the Moving Image - Caterina Albano - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Throughout this book we discover what our idea of memory would be without the moving image. This thought provoking analysis examines how the medium has informed modern and contemporary models of memory. The book examines the ways in which cinematic optic procedures inform an understanding of memory processes. Critical to the reciprocity of mind and screen is forgetting and the problematic that it inscribes into memory and its relation to contested histories. Through a consideration of artworks (film/video and sound installation) by artists whose practice has consistently engaged with issues surrounding memory, amnesia and trauma, the book brings to bear neuro-psychological insight and its implication with the moving image (as both image and sound) to a consideration of the global landscape of memory and the politics of memory that inform them. The artists featured include Kerry Tribe, Shona Illingworth, Bill Fontana, Lutz Becker, Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi, Harun Faorcki, and Eyal Sivan.

The Shock of the Real - G. Wood - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Shock of the Real - G. Wood - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Already in the century before photography''s emergence as a mass medium, a diverse popular visual culture had risen to challenge the British literary establishment. The bourgeois fashion for new visual media - from prints and illustrated books to theatrical spectacles and panoramas - rejected high. Romantic concepts of original genius and the sublime in favor of mass-produced images and the thrill of realistic effects. In response, the literary elite declared the new visual media an offense to Romantic idealism. ''Simulations of nature,'' Coleridge declared, are ''loathsome'' and ''disgusting.'' The Shock of the Real offers a tour of Romantic visual culture, from the West End stage to the tourist-filled Scottish Highlands, from the panoramas of Leicester Square to the photography studios of Second Empire Paris. But in presenting the relation between word and image in the late Georgian age as a form of culture war, the author also proposes an alternative account of Romantic aesthetic ideology - as a reaction not against the rationalism of the Enlightenment but against the visual media age being born.

Strategy and Sustainability - Mike Rosenberg - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Strategy and Sustainability - Mike Rosenberg - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Business and environmental sustainability are not natural bedfellows. Business is about making money; sustainability is about protecting the planet. Business is measured in months and quarters; sustainability often requires significant short term costs to secure a sometimes uncertain long-term benefit. To some activists, all executives are exploitative, selfish “1 percenters”. To some executives, all activists are irresponsible, unyielding extremists. And yet engaging with the issue isn’t optional – all businesses must have a strategy to deal with sustainability and, like any strategy, this involves making choices. Strategy and Sustainability encourages its readers to filter out the noise and make those choices in a hard-nosed and clear-eyed way. Rosenberg’s nuanced and fact-based point of view recognizes the complexity of the issues at hand and the strategic choices businesses must make. He blends the work of some of the leading academic thinkers in the field with practical examples from a variety of business sectors and geographies and offers a framework with which Senior Management might engage with the topic, not (just) to save the planet but to fulfil their short, medium, and long-term responsibilities to shareholders and other stakeholders.

Digital Stractics - Chris Outram - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Digital Stractics - Chris Outram - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In the world of digital business, the line between strategy and tactics is blurring. Traditionally large companies would adopt strategic frameworks which planned over three- to five-year timescales, while most digital start-ups had little interest in comprehensive and rigorous strategic processes and simply set themselves vision and worked out how to get there along the way. In today''s digital economy even large companies are finding that their planning horizons are being measured in months rather than years or quarters (if not yet in the weeks or even days of startups). On the other hand, investors are less swayed by the excitement of ''digital'' and expect harder and more rigorous medium term planning from start-ups.As a result, while the empirical process of learning by doing is becoming part of traditional companies'' strategy processes, digital pure plays are no longer just making it up as they go along, but actively learning and changing as they go along. In short: on the battlefield of online commerce, strategy blends with tactics. Indeed, the distinction between pure play and hybrid is increasingly redundant as more holistic business models begin to emerge. Digital Stractics captures the experience and insights of some 60 entrepreneurs, CEOs and chairmen of both pure plays and hybrids to formulate frameworks within which both pure plays and hybrids can shape their strategy and business models. As timescales between ''plan'' and ''do'' collapse strategy and tactics have to blend. The world of STRACTICS is upon us.
