Overview: Strategie, Arbeitssystem und organisationale Praktiken in wissensbasierten UnternehmenDie Herausbildung einer wissensbasierten ?konomie hat die Reflexion auf Wissensprozesse in den Unternehmen ma?geblich beeinflusst. Wissensmanagement hat sich im Sinne einer Management-Mode weit verbreitet und sich trotz des Scheiterns vieler Konzepte in den Unternehmen fest etabliert. Eine analytische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Management von Wissen muss sich von der oberfl?chlichen Management-Mode abgrenzen und sich zuerst mit den Theoriegrundlagen der Industriesoziologie und der Managementtheorie

Overview: Summarizes current progress in quantification theory, highlighting pros and cons of joint graphical display and biplots.Provides new perspectives of current practice with helpful foundations for futur.This book offers a new look at well-established quantification theory for categorical data, referred to by such names as correspondence analysis, dual scaling, optimal scaling, and homogeneity analysis. These multiple identities are a consequence of its large number of properties that allow one to analyze and visualize the strength of variable association in an optimal solution. The boo

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Request lecturer material: Focusing YourAttention We have called this book Mathematical Vistas because we have already published a companion book MathematicalRefiections in the same series;1 indeed, the two books are dedicated to the same principal purpose - to stimulate the interest ofbrightpeople in mathematics.Itis not our intention in writing this book to make the earlier book aprerequisite, but it is, of course, natural that this book should contain several references to its predecessor. This is especially - but not uniquely- true of Chapters 3,

Overview: This monograph presents a collection of results, observations, and examples related to dynamical systems described by linear and nonlinear ordinary differential and difference equations. In particular, dynamical systems that are susceptible to analysis by the Liapunov approach are considered. The naive observation that certain "diagonal-type" Liapunov functions are ubiquitous in the literature attracted the attention of the authors and led to some natural questions. Why does this happen so often? What are the spe- cial virtues of these functions in this context? Do they occur so freq

Overview: The extensive use of low-energy accelerators in non-nuclear physics has now reached the stage where these activities are recognized as a natural field of investigation. Many other areas in physics and chemistry have undergone similarly spectacular development: beam foil spectroscopy in atomic physics, studies in atomic collisions, materials implantation, defects creation, nuclear microanalysis, and so on. Now, this most recent activity by itself and in its evident connec- tion with the others has brought a new impetus to both the funda- mental and the applied aspects of materials sci

Overview: Discusses the philosophical aspects connected with Artificial Intelligence.Makes use of speculative and science fiction literature like I. Asimov, S. Lem, A. Leckie, I. M. Banks and M. Wells.Enables r.Bringing together literary scholars, computer scientists, ethicists, philosophers of mind, and scholars from affiliated disciplines, this collection of essays offers important and timely insights into the pasts, presents, and, above all, possible futures of Artificial Intelligence...This book covers topics such as ethics and morality, identity and selfhood, and broader issues about AI,

Overview: Einblicke in ein bildungspolitisch brisantes und wenig erforschtes Feld?Evamaria Zettl untersucht sprachliche Bildung im Alltag einer Kita in einem von Migration und Marginalisierung gepr?gten Stadtviertel. In ihrer ethnographischen, praxis- und performativit?tstheoretisch orientierten Studie fokussiert sie die Aspekte Mehrsprachigkeit und Literalit?t. Im Umgang mit Mehrsprachigkeit arbeitet die Autorin heraus, wie und warum ein Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Verbieten und Wertsch?tzen von Familiensprachen besteht. In Bezug auf Literalit?t analysiert sie Praktiken der Buch- und Schriftku

Overview: Dieser Buchtitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anf?ngen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieser Titel erschien in der Zeit vor 1945 und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.978-3-642-98319-1978-3-642-99131-8

Overview: Since scientific software is the fuel that drives today‘s computers to solve a vast range of problems, huge efforts are being put into the development of new software, systems and algorithms for scientific problem solving. This book explores how scientific software impacts the structure of mathematics, how it creates new subfields, and how new classes of mathematical problems arise. The focus is on five topics where the impact is currently being felt and where important new challenges exist, namely: the new subfield of parallel and geometric computations, the emergence of symbolic co

Overview: First volume to look at the ‘myth’ of the Turkish Model from a Eurasian and post-Arab Spring perspective.Critically looks at various understandings of the Turkish Model.Looks at the broader question oThe volume discusses what the Turkish Model, or Turkish Development Alternative, was and why it was promoted in the Central Asian republics immediately following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It argues that the Turkish Model was a myth that transferred the ideal of a ‘‘secular, democratic, liberal society‘‘ as a model for the post Soviet Turkic world and in the process encouraged
