Das osterreichische Mietrechtsgesetz (MRG) beschrankt die Hohe der Altbaumieten, Vermieter durfen jedoch Zuschlage fur «gute Lagen» verlangen.

To test the impact of stand-alone vs. multi-partner programs on customer loyalty, management interviews were conducted and a survey with 1,150 German customers of two fuel station chains was carried out. Stand-alone programs were found to excel at generating behavioral and attitudinal loyalty, as well as positive word-of-mouth.

Between Creed, Rhetoric Facade, and Disregard

Inventory management and pricing decisions based on quantitative models both in industrial practice and academic works often rely on minimizing expected cost, which refers to the concept of risk-neutrality of the decision maker. In this title, spectral risk measures are applied to price-setting newsvendor problem and optimal policies are derived.

The price-setting newsvendor model is used to address the single period joint pricing and inventory control problem. This book presents an analytical and empirical study which compares different demand models with a flexible model based on price and inventory optimization.

The manual construction of formal domain conceptualizations (ontologies) is labor-intensive. Ontology learning, by contrast, provides (semi-)automatic ontology generation from input data such as domain text. This title combines corpus-based techniques with reasoning on Semantic Web data.
