Management Ideas
This book offers a short history of business administration in four parts. Part 1 takes the reader from 8000 BCE with the development of simple control techniques to the middle of the nineteenth century. At this time, normative, empirical, and theoretical approaches to business problems in the industrial area were developed. Furthermore, more powerful methodologies came into use. In Part 2, the criteria for science are discussed and related to the development of business administration as a science at the beginning of the twentieth century. Part 3 demonstrates, using Germany as an example, the development of business administration as strongly influenced by its societal environment. The case...
The Dynamics of Innovation
Jorg Bensinger, a group head of Audi corporation's R&D depart ment, had been waiting for long to find a chance to advertise his idea of a four-wheel drive for passenger cars to one of the board mem bers. Favorable experiences had been collected in drive tests with the lItis, a jeep-like car developed for use in the German army. The ex periences showed extremely good performance on icy roads and in snow. Bensinger's chance came in February of 1977, when he could talk to Ferdinand Piech, then R&D vice president of Audi and a technology buff. At this time Audi wasn't quite considered as a tech nological leader in the public. Technology based innovations were expected from Mercedes or Porsche by...

The Company of the Future
The art of managing innovative companies is disclosed in this unique book which resulted from the first common EU-MITI project. The Company of the Future will need new management tools in order to meet four essential requirements: The first three are to redirect the attention of management to the internal challenges, to reveal problems well before final financial data are available, and to integrate basic management concepts from all business functions (marketing, R&D, production, services, finance, strategy). The fourth requirement is that tools should be simple enough to be implemented by busy people and sufficiently sophisticated to meet the challenges of the future. This book reveals those practical, simple and effective tools for global success and competitiveness. "This is a challenging book about the likely shape of companies in the 21st century." (David T. Thompson)
The Palgrave Handbook of Managing Continuous Business Transformation
This handbook provides a comprehensive and unparalleled reference point for studying continuous business transformation. Asserting that change will be the new normal and highlighting the fact that business transformation can never be complete, this important resource is a tool for coping with ongoing change in order to become and stay resilient, the predominant concern of executives across industries. Containing case study material to illustrate issues and solutions, The Palgrave Handbook of Managing Continuous Business Transformation takes an interdisciplinary approach weaving together strategic concepts with real-life experiences, connecting human resource issues with shifts in information technology and linking customers with the businesses from which they buy. Structured into four parts; transformational shifts, achieving customer centricity, dealing with new technology and leading the change, this handbook is crucial reading for academics, scholars and practitioners of business transformation.
Entrepreneurship in Biotechnology
Research and development of novel medicines for human therapy commonly takes over a decade before significant revenues from sales are forthcoming. How can biotechnology companies be founded and grow successfully in an industry with such extended innovation processes? The book investigates this problem and distinguishes three growth phases: From incorporation and start-up through collaborative R&D with large pharmaceutical firms to value creation from R&D pipelines to Public Offerings and product marketing. In this book a dynamic simulation model for testing different decision-making strategies is developed. For each phase the author identifies decision rules that provide for successful corporate growth.
The Right to Employee Inventions in Patent Law
Although employers are required to pay compensation for employee inventions under the laws in many countries, existing legal literature has never critically examined whether such compensation actually gives employee inventors an incentive to invent as the legislature intends. This book addresses the issue through reference to recent, large-scale surveys on the motivation of employee inventors (in Europe, the United States and Japan) and studies in social psychology and econometrics, arguing that the compensation is unlikely to boost the motivation, productivity and creativity of employee inventors, and thereby encourage the creation of inventions. It also discusses the ownership of invention...

Risk Management
Michael Frenkel, Ulrich Hommel, Markus Rudolf This volume has been written in honor of Gunter Dufey who has dedicated his professional career to the advancement of international business education around the globe and who has done much to improve our understanding of risk management as a challenge as well as an opportunity for shareholder-value-driven enterprises. The editors have used his 60th birthday at the beginning of the new millenium as a welcome opportunity to honor his lifelong commitment to research, university teaching and executive training. We have done so by bringing together a select group of individuals who have joined us in an effort to highlight the most recent developments as well as the immediate challenges in the field of risk management. The contributors have all been influenced by Gunter Dufey's work as students, co-authors, faculty colleagues and fellow researchers. The collection of papers contained in this volume bears witness to his mentoring role and builds on his own research agenda. Throughout his professional career, Gunter Dufey has been regarded as the prototype of the global citizen by his friends and collegues.
