Christina Maria Werner untersucht die Bedeutung von Diversität in Teams für die Generierung von Innovationen aus Sicht von Führungskräften. Dies erfolgt ausgehend von einer systematischen Definition und Konzeptualisierung des Diversitätsbegriffs sowie ohne ex-ante Limitation betrachtungsrelevanter Diversitätsmerkmale in einem Praxissetting; dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Automobilindustrie und weiteren technologieintensiven Branchen. Neben zentralen theoretischen Beiträgen zur Diversitäts-, Team- und Innovationsforschung liefert die Arbeit wichtige Handlungsimplikationen zur Teamzusammensetzung für Innovationsprojekte sowie einer Führungs- und Unternehmenskultur, welche die Entfaltung des innovativen Potentials diverser Teams unterstützt.

In this book, Tobias Röding addresses the topic of technology use along different touchpoints in context of different services in retailing, both in offline and online retail, with a total of eight essays.

In this context, the essays concentrate in varying degrees on the social interaction between customer, frontline employee and a service-technology, as well as on the balancing of benefits and risks for the customer in a possible disclosure of personal information. Based on the essays' findings, implications for both practice and academia are provided..

This book examines critically how the Chinese government has proactively engaged the nine cities and two special administrative regions in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) in Southern China for deeper collaborations in order to transform the country from the ¿World Factory¿ to become a leading world economy in innovation and entrepreneurialism. While most of the existing research related to Chinäs GBA development offers the economic and technological advancement perspectives, this book focuses on critical reflections upon how the call for megacity development and deeper regional collaborations in the Bay Area will affect people¿s livelihoods, social integration and urban governance. The central theme of this book builds around ¿Cities, Social Cohesion and Governance.¿ Based upon policy and document analysis, first-hand fieldwork and surveys, and intensive interviews with major stakeholders responsible for pushing the Greater Bay Area development, this book offers not only regional perspectives in analyzing the Greater Bay Area development through comparing and contrasting development experiences within the country¿s different bay economies like the Shanghai and Zhejiang Bay Area and Beijing and Bohai Bay Area. The present book also draws comparative and international insights from other well- established bay economies like Tokyo Bay, Florida Bay and New York Bay Areas when analyzing the development in the GBA in China.

With expanding possibilities for self- plus independent-publishing blossoming in recent years, a new breed of publishing experts have appeared, ready to feed on the ever-growing market of literary hopefuls. Touting wisdom gleaned from time in the business that often equals 5-7 years or less, and has generally only been acquired from working with e-commerce platforms outside of the mainstream publishing industry at large, much of the common wisdom being preached by such publishing gurus today is questionable...and some of it seems to be dead wrong. At least dead wrong for anyone who wants to make a living from their creative content. After enjoying a full-time, decades-long career in the industry - working with both large, traditional houses as well as with today's print and e-book publishing alternatives - author/ex-NY editor Cristina Salat explores facets of the feeding frenzy now aimed at targeting the wallets of writers, and why so many indie 'experts' these days seem to be pushing ideas that are destined to fail.

Entrepreneurship in the Long-Run: Empirical Evidence and Historical Mechanisms reviews the available evidence on the historical roots of entrepreneurship and its relationship with economic performance across regions, which is defined as subnational geographic entities. Given the tremendous differences in the level and the type of entrepreneurship between regions, the authors focus on the regional level and demonstrate how historical factors can determine entrepreneurial activity in a region and may predetermine future development paths. In addition, the monograph looks at the ability of a regional economy to cope with external challenges. The main explanation for such long-term effects and for the persistence of the level of regional entrepreneurship over long periods are historically rooted regional cultures that change only very slowly. Generally, historical roots provide a key explanation for the development of regions along long-term trajectories that are characterized by a co-evolution of entrepreneurship, knowledge, and informal institutions. This means that regions can have persistently low or persistently high levels of entrepreneurship depending on whether historical factors shaped entrepreneurship positively or negatively. Following a brief introduction, the monograph starts with a brief overview of data availability and measurement (Section 2), summarizing the available empirical evidence on long-term trends in regional entrepreneurship in Section 3. Section 4 discusses potential explanations for these findings. Section 5 is devoted to the effects of persistent regional entrepreneurship on economic development. Based on these findings the authors discuss theory development in Section 6 and derive policy implications in Section 7. Section 8 reviews empirical challenges and describes the main avenues for further research. Section 9 provides the authors' conclusions.
