Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 2,7, Bergische Universität Wuppertal, Veranstaltung: Internationales Management und Organisation, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Schon seit mehreren Jahrzehnten wächst der Welthandel deutlich. Märkte und Produktion in den verschiedenen Ländern werden immer stärker voneinander abhängig. Die Dynamik dieser Entwicklung hat dabei stetig zugenommen. In der Literatur wird dieser Prozess durch Begriffen wie Internationalisierung, Multinationalisierung, Transnationalisierung oder Globalisierung zusammengefasst. Allen Bezeichnungen gemein ist hier die Überwindung nationaler Grenzen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird dabei Internationalisierung als Oberbegriff für sämtliche Formen der Vernetzung angesehen werden, die mit grenzüberschreitenden Interaktionen einhergehen, wobei die nationalstaatlichen Grenzen an Bedeutung verlieren. Aus Unternehmenssicht kann Internationalisierung "gleichgesetzt werden mit nachhaltiger und für das Unternehmen insgesamt bedeutsamer Auslandstätigkeit" . Diese kann von einem hohen Exportanteil am Umsatz bis hin zu einem weltweit gestreuten Netz von Direktinvestitionen reichen, z.B. ausländische Standorte und Tochtergesellschaften. Für Unternehmen hat die Internationalisierung viele Vorteile, so etwa der leichtere Zugang zu lokalen Absatz- und Beschaffungsmärkten. Doch viele grenzüberschreitende Aktivitäten scheitern trotz ökonomisch vorhandener Erfolgsbedingungen. "Dies hat nicht zuletzt auch dazu geführt, dass den in diesem Kontext Handelnden stärker bewusst geworden ist, dass Menschen in anderen Ländern anders denken, urteilen und handeln." Denn Kontakte mit Personen aus anderen Ländern und Kulturkreisen werden immer zahlreicher, sowohl extern im Umgang mit Kunden und Geschäftspartnern als auch intern bei Auslandseinsätzen oder der Arbeit in interkulturellen Teams. Bei solchen Interaktionsprozessen führen unterschiedliche Wahrnehmungs- und In

This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welche interkulturellen Kompetenzen braucht eine Führungsperson eines multikulturellen Teams, um das Team erfolgreich zu führen? Multikulturelle Teams werden in der heutigen Zeit oftmals gegründet, weil sich Firmen zusammenschließen, Projekte international bearbeitet werden oder hoch spezialisierte Fachkräfte aus anderen Ländern eingesetzt werden, um regionale Teams mit Spezialwissen zu unterstützen. Doch die Arbeit in multikulturellen Teams verläuft nicht immer ohne Probleme. Denn unterschiedliche Kulturen haben unterschiedliche Vorstellungen über die Arbeitsweise, Hierarchie und den Umgang miteinander. Welche interkulturellen Kompetenzen muss eine Führungsperson besitzen, um interkulturelle Probleme rechtzeitig zu erkennen und adäquate Lösungen zu finden? Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der Bildung multikultureller Teams, den interkulturellen Problemen des Teams bei der täglichen Arbeit und den interkulturellen Kompetenzen, die helfen, diese Probleme rechtzeitig zu erkennen und anzugehen.

This book was released on 2009-12-09 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: In der modernen Wirtschaftswelt hat die Entwicklung von Unternehmen von einem lokalen hin zu einem globalen Kontext eine hohe Bedeutung. Unternehmen sichern ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit durch Kooperationen, Fusionen oder Übernahmen sowie einer Etablierung in neuen Märkten. Diese Entwicklungen geschehen zum großen Teil im Rahmen international besetzter Projekte. Vom Erfolg dieser Projekte hängt damit auch in entscheidendem Maße der Erfolg dieser Unternehmen und ihrer Weiterentwicklung ab. Um internationales Projektmanagement erfolgreich zu gestalten, bedarf es Faktoren, die über die Standardtechniken deutlich hinausgehen. Ein zentraler Erfolgsfaktor stellt dabei die interkulturelle Kompetenz der Projektmanager und Projektmitarbeiter dar. Diese Arbeit soll mögliche Probleme im internationalen Projektmanagement beleuchten und im Detail auf dem Bereich der interkulturellen Kompetenz als Erfolgsfaktor im internationalen Projektmanagement eingehen. Gang der Untersuchung: Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich zu einem großen Teil mit der Verbindung der Begriffe PROJEKTMANAGEMENT, INTERNATIONAL, INTERKULTURELL und KOMPETENZ . Ausgehend von diesen Begriffen ist zunächst eine Definition zu erarbeiten. Was bedeuten die Begriffe oder was wird unter den Begriffen in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur verstanden? Da allein die Beschäftigung mit der Begriffsdefinition ganze Bücher und Regale füllen kann (Beispiel Kultur), wird sich diese Arbeit in der Regel auf eine, für den Kontext dieser Arbeit schlüssige, Definition beschränken. Anschließend wird auf besonders wichtige oder auch besonders einleuchtende und greifbare Aspekte zum jeweiligen Themenfeld eingegangen. Die Verbindung der Themen erfolgt in der Regel über die Reihenfolge der Behandlung im Sinne eines roten Fadens . Eine Sonderrolle spielen die Interviews in Abschnitt 2.3.1. Sie geben einen Einblick in die betriebliche Praxis. Die erarbeiteten Aspekte dieser Arbeit können und sollen durch diesen praktischen Ausflug die notwendige Gewichtung erfahren. Sie sind Auflockerung, Motivation und sicher auch eine erste kleine Messlatte für und in dieser Arbeit. Sie sind jedoch nicht als empirischer Nachweis misszuverstehen. Ebenso sind aus diesen sicher sehr subjektiven Einschätzungen und Einzelerfahrungen keine allgemeingültigen Regelungen abzuleiten. Ebenso ist keine allgemeine Anwendbarkeit zu erwarten. Am Ende der Arbeit werden beispielhaft einige Trainingsangebote des offenen Marktes [...]

Download or read book Killing and Letting Die written by Bonnie Steinbock and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection contains twenty-one thought-provoking essays on the controversies surrounding the moral and legal distinctions between euthanasia and "letting die." Since public awareness of this issue has increased this second edition includes nine entirely new essays which bring the treatment of the subject up-to-date. The urgency of this issue can be gauged in recent developments such as the legalization of physician-assisted suicide in the Netherlands, "how-to" manuals topping the bestseller charts in the United States, and the many headlines devoted to Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who has assisted dozens of patients to die. The essays address the range of questions involved in this issue pertaining especially to the fields of medical ethics, public policymaking, and social philosophy. The discussions consider the decisions facing medical and public policymakers, how those decisions will affect the elderly and terminally ill, and the medical and legal ramifications for patients in a permanently vegetative state, as well as issues of parent/infant rights. The book is divided into two sections. The first, "Euthanasia and the Termination of Life-Prolonging Treatment" includes an examination of the 1976 Karen Quinlan Supreme Court decision and selections from the 1990 Supreme Court decision in the case of Nancy Cruzan. Featured are articles by law professor George Fletcher and philosophers Michael Tooley, James Rachels, and Bonnie Steinbock, with new articles by Rachels, and Thomas Sullivan. The second section, "Philosophical Considerations," probes more deeply into the theoretical issues raised by the killing/letting die controversy, illustrating exceptionally well the dispute between two rival theories of ethics, consequentialism and deontology. It also includes a corpus of the standard thought on the debate by Jonathan Bennet, Daniel Dinello, Jeffrie Murphy, John Harris, Philipa Foot, Richard Trammell, and N. Ann Davis, and adds articles new to this edition by Bennett, Foot, Warren Quinn, Jeff McMahan, and Judith Lichtenberg.

Book excerpt: 'You can learn from your failures.' 'Entrepreneurship is trial and error.' These statements are hard to disagree with, but in reality it is not that simple. More than ever, we wish to be successful and erase all traces of mistakes and failures as soon as possible. This is not only a pity, but potentially dangerous as well, says professor Paul Louis Iske. Only when we dare to face what we do wrong can we make a thorough analysis and avoid unnecessary recurrence and disappointments. Fear of failure impedes creative thinking and innovation. This compelling book shows you how to develop a culture of openness in your organization and how failure paradoxically leads to significant progress. Institute of Brilliant Failures teaches you how to recognize recurring failing patterns at an early stage, how to harvest essential learnings and how to embrace uncertainty. Paul Louis Iske is professor of Open Innovation and Business Venturing at the School of Business and Economics, Maastricht University (the Netherlands) and Extraordinary Professor of Knowledge Management at Stellenbosch University (South Africa). He is Chief Failure Officer (CFO) at the Institute of Brilliant Failures, and a sought-after international consultant in the areas of innovation, sustainable business models, creativity and knowledge management.

Download or read book Spaces of Culture written by Mike Featherstone and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1999-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spaces of Culture an international group of scholars examines the implications of questions such as: What is culture? What is the relationship between social structure and culture in a globalized and networked world? Do critical perspectives still apply, or does the speed and complexity of cultural production demand new forms of analysis? They explore the key themes in social theory: the nation state; the city; modernity and reflexivity; post-Fordism and the spatial logic of the informational city. The contributors go on to analyze the public sphere, questioning the reductive representation of technology as a form of instrumentality, and demonstrating how new technologies can offer new spaces of culture. This analysis of public space is essential to an understanding of issues like global citizenship and multicultural human rights.

Download or read book Superdiversity written by Steven Vertovec and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-15 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superdiversity explores processes of diversification and the complex, emergent social configurations that now supersede prior forms of diversity in societies around the world. Migration plays a key role in these processes, bringing changes not just in social, cultural, religious, and linguistic phenomena, but also in the ways that these phenomena combine with others like gender, age, and legal status. The concept of superdiversity has been adopted by scholars across the social sciences in order to address a variety of forms, modes, and outcomes of diversification. Central to this field is the relationship between social categorization and social organization, including stratification and inequality. Increasingly complex categories of social “difference” have significant impacts across scales, from entire societies to individual identities. While diversification is often met with simplifying stereotypes, threat narratives, and expressions of antagonism, superdiversity encourages a perspective on difference as comprising multiple social processes, flexible collective meanings, and overlapping personal and group identities. A superdiversity approach encourages the re-evaluation and recognition of social categories as multidimensional, unfixed, and porous as opposed to views based on hardened, one-dimensional thinking about groups. Diversification and increasing social complexity are bound to continue, if not intensify, in light of climate change. This will have profound impacts on the nature of global migration, social relations, and inequalities. Superdiversity presents a convincing case for recognizing new social formations created by changing migration patterns and calls for a re-thinking of public policy and social scientific approaches to social difference. This introduction to the multidisciplinary concept of superdiversity will be of considerable interest to students and researchers in a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences.
