Die Wirtschaftsordnung der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wie auch die Weltwirtschaftsordnung durchleben derzeit eine Vertrauenskrise, die die vielleicht größte Herausforderung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg darstellt. Hat die Marktwirtschaft, und in Deutschland speziell die Soziale Marktwirtschaft, versagt? Gerade die Soziale Marktwirtschaft ist die Wirtschaftsordnung, die der Bundesrepublik Deutschland den Wiederaufstieg nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ermöglichte. Sie machte Deutschland zu einem der wohlhabendsten Staaten weltweit und zu einem Muster an Stabilität. Die Diskussion der Grundsätze der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft und ihre Anwendung auf die Herausforderungen der Gegenwart sind das Thema dieses Bandes, der auf den Ergebnissen des ersten Ordnungspolitischen Dialoges an der Westsächsischen Hochschule Zwickau im November 2007 basiert. Dabei geht es nicht darum, einer Orthodoxie zu dienen, die die Soziale Marktwirtschaft als ewige Wahrheit beweihräuchert, sondern den wertvollen Gehalt dieser Wirtschaftsordnung für die heutige Wirtschaftspolitik zu bestimmen.
Supplier relationship managers often find it difficult to evaluate and optimize supplier relationships, which are crucial to the success of their business yet complex and multifaceted, characterized by long-term orientation, uncertainty, temporal evolution, idiosyncratic investment, improvement potential, and adaptation flexibility.

In this book, «administration» is broadly interpreted as the management of organizations. The reason for this lies in the fact that administration is generally viewed in the context of public - or in an even narrower sense - state administration. However, administration is also to be found in numerous other forms - in large enterprises, to name one example. Nevertheless, neither perspective comprises the full conceptual extent of «administration» in a broader sense, and to offer proposals for solutions. Thereby, the situation in public and private organizations equally is given particular consideration. Thereby, the study of differences and common features of management in public and private administrations is of particular interest.
The marginalisation of Africa with regard to international trade, international investment, international technology flows and international firm cooperation is the outcome of historical factors, especially of the colonial period, but also of the policies pursued after independence. Africa's marginalisation is also the result of highly inadequate economic reforms during the 1980s that failed to stimulate internationally competitive production of goods and services in primary production, in manufacturing and in services. Volume 8 of the African Development Perspectives Yearbook focusses on the causes of Africa's inadequate integration into the world economy, and on the strategies to regain an international status for Africa's production and trade sectors. Cases of successful integration of companies and countries into the world market as well as lessons for a better integration are the main thrust of the book. It is now time to demonstrate that world market integration is in reach for A
Strategy, planning and the best possible use of scare resources are classical priorities on the military sector. Additionally, the principles of modern business management are gaining more and more importance and can certainly be applied to defence administration as well as to operational and troop management - taking into account their unique specifications. In this context, future oriented thinking, adaptability, flexibility, improvability, and the best possible coordination and performance are standing in the foreground. The instruments of performance and effect oriented governance can - if applied correctly and professionally - contribute substantially and in the best way to find solutions for the manifold problems of military management.
