Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Der Einkauf steht für die meisten Unternehmer und Topmanager nicht im Fokus ihrer Tätigkeiten. Damit vernachlässigen sie hohe Optimierungs- und Einsparpotenziale. Dies resultiert aus der Tatsache, dass die wenigsten Unternehmensleiter auf ihrem persönlichen Karriereweg in das Top-Management den Bereich Einkauf durchlaufen haben. Dabei lässt sich mit der richtigen Beschaffungsstrategie jede Menge Geld sparen. Nicht nur in Zeiten, in denen alle sparen müssen, ist der Einkauf extrem wichtig.Mit überzeugenden Beispielen sensibilisiert Gerd Kerkhoff den Leser für das 'überlebenswichtige' Thema Einkauf. Er zeigt auf, wie Unternehmen die Effizienz ihrer aktuellen Beziehungen zu den Lieferanten überprüfen können. Dabei werden häufig Einsparpotenziale in zweistelliger Prozenthöhe aufgedeckt.

Dazu erläutert er u.a., wie die ertragsorientierte Einkaufsabteilung organisiert, strukturiert, kontrolliert und geführt werden sollte.Abschließend räumt der Autor mit der weit verbreiteten Meinung, E-Procurement sei das Allheilmittel zur Effizienzsteigerung des Einkaufs auf. Denn, so Kerkhoff: 'Chaos wird durch die Elektronisierung nur schneller, keinesfalls effizienter.'Neben aktuellen Informationen zum Thema bietet die 2. Auflage zusätzlich als Neuheit ein eigenes Kapitel zu den rechtlichen Fragen im Einkauf. 265 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Writings on War collects three of Carl Schmitt's most important and controversial texts, here appearing in English for the first time: The Turn to the Discriminating Concept of War, The Großraum Order of International Law, and The International Crime of the War of Aggression and the Principle 'Nullum crimen, nulla poena sine lege'.Written between 1937 and 1945, these works articulate Schmitt's concerns throughout this period of war and crisis, addressing the major failings of the League of Nations, and presenting Schmitt's own conceptual history of these years of disaster for international jurisprudence. For Schmitt, the jurisprudence of Versailles and Nuremberg both fail to provide for a stable international system, insofar as they attempt to impose universal standards of 'humanity' on a heterogeneous world, and treat efforts to revise the status quo as 'criminal' acts of war. In place of these flawed systems, Schmitt argues for a new planetary order in which neither collective security organizations nor 19th century empires, but Schmittian 'Reichs' will be the leading subject of international law.Writings on War will be essential reading for those seeking to understand the work of Carl Schmitt, the history of international law and the international system, and interwar European history. Not only do these writings offer an erudite point of entry into the dynamic and charged world of interwar European jurisprudence; they also speak with prescience to a 21st century world struggling with similar issues of global governance and international law.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - We live in a challenging, complex, inter-connected and unpredictable world beset by a range of seemingly insoluble problems. But, says Michael Fullan--an internationally acclaimed authority on organizational change--we have an increasing understanding of how to tackle complex change. This involves developing a new kind of leader: one who recognizes what is needed to bring about deep and lasting changes in living systems at all levels. These leaders need a deep understanding of what motivates us as human beings and how we tap into and influence other people's self-motivation.In his previous best-selling books The Six Secrets of Change, Leading in a Culture of Change, and Turnaround Leadership, Michael Fullan examined the concepts and processes of change. In Change Leader he turns his focus to the core practices of leadership that are so vital for leading in today's complex world. He reveals seven core practices for today's leaders, all of which appear to be deceptively simple but actually get to the essence of what differentiates a powerful leader from one who is merely competent:\* Practice Drives Theory\* Be Resolute\* Motivate the Masses\* Collaborate to Compete\* Learn Confidently\* Know Your Impact\* Sustain SimplexityThroughout the book Fullan argues that powerful leaders have built bedrocks of credibility, have learned how to identify the few things that matter most, and know how to leverage their skills in ways that benefit their entire organization. The author shows leaders how to avoid policies and strategies that focus on shallow and short-term goals and develop leadership skills for long-term success.With a wealth of illustrative examples from business, education, nonprofit, and government sectors Change Leader provides a much-needed leadership guide for today's turbulent climate.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - For the last three decades Jock Young's work has had a profound impact on criminology.
