Ausgangspunkt der Untersuchung ist die jüngere Diskussion um den Gefährdungsschaden bei Betrug und Untreue. Die nur selten grundsätzlich bestrittene Anerkennung dieser Rechtsfigur speist sich im Wesentlichen aus der Erkenntnis, dass ein drohender Verlust im Wirtschaftsleben bereits zu einer gegenwärtigen Wertminderung führen kann. Die Feststellung einer solchen Wertminderung kann jedoch vor allem bei den sog. Risikogeschäften erhebliche Schwierigkeiten bereiten. Christian Becker unterzieht die insofern vom BVerfG geforderte Einbindung von ökonomischem Sachverstand bei der exakten Bezifferung des strafrechtlichen Vermögensschadens einer kritischen Würdigung. Sodann zeigt er Sollbruchstellen im Paradigma der wirtschaftlichen Schadenslehre insgesamt auf. Der daraufhin in den Grundzügen entwickelte eigene Schadensbegriff ermöglicht eine Lösung für die Fallgruppe der Risikogeschäfte, die auf den Gefährdungsschaden verzichtet.

In the Cold War era, sport was not just a symbol of the power and strength of a nation-state, but of certain ideological systems of politics. With the pressure for athletes to succeed at its zenith, many East German athletes were given anabolic steroids by their country’s own sport federation. While doping in East Germany has been intensely researched in the past decades, the state of West German athletics during this time has remained largely a mystery. In fact, doping was a common practice on both sides of the Iron Curtain. But how many athletes were involved? And who knew about these practices? In order to answer these questions, the Federal Institute for Sport Science in Germany supported a research project to shed light on the other, West German side of doping history. Based on analyses of authentic documents and archives, German Sports, Doping and Politics: A History of Performance Enhancement is a unique study spanning from 1950-2007. Translated from its original German, and supplemented with new material written especially for an international audience, this innovative book addresses many important questions about a topic with worldwide implications. Part I deals with the history of doping in the post-war period of the 1950s and ‘60s; Part II focuses on the apex of doping, as well as the beginnings of the anti-doping movement; and Part III considers the development of doping since the Reunification and the foundation of the World Anti-Doping Agency and the National Anti-Doping Agency in Germany. Written for a global audience, German Sports, Doping, and Politics explains and reveals the truly remarkable processes of doping and anti-doping that have evolved since the Cold War. While sports historians will find this book of great interest, it is also a significant study for anyone who wants to look beyond the surface of sports and doping as reported by the media.

Providing a systematic introduction to differential characters as introduced by Cheeger and Simons, this text describes important concepts such as fiber integration, higher dimensional holonomy, transgression, and the product structure in a geometric manner. Differential characters form a model of what is nowadays called differential cohomology, which is the mathematical structure behind the higher gauge theories in physics.

Die meisten Projekte weltweit scheitern, gemessen an den urspr nglich gesteckten Zielen. Sie berziehen ihre Budgets, geraten in Zeitverzug oder liefern nicht die gew nschten Inhalte in der ben tigten Qualit t - h ufig auch eine Kombination aller dieser Faktoren. Die Ursachen daf r liegen selten in rein technischen oder fachlichen Unzul nglichkeiten. Viel h ufiger lassen zwischenmenschliche Probleme und falsche Erwartungen an die Beteiligten diese Projekte scheitern. Und der Grund daf r liegt in der Tatsache begr ndet, dass in einem Projekt Menschen mit ganz unterschiedlichen kulturellen Werten aufeinander treffen. Der Begriff der Kultur kann dabei weit gefasst werden und greift auf ganz unterschiedlichen Ebenen: - Jeder Mensch hat seine ganz pers nliche Kultur, sein "soziales Koordinatensystem," das ihn als Individuum ausmacht und seine Pers nlichkeit pr gt - Verschiedene Gruppen in unserem Arbeitsalltag wie Projektteams, Abteilungen, Business Units oder Unternehmen k nnen ganz eigenst ndige kulturelle Normen und Muster entwickeln, die starken Einfluss auf die Mitglieder der jeweiligen Gruppe aus ben - denken wir nur an den g ngigen Begriff der "Firmenkultur" - L nder und Regionen schlie lich sind die "Tr ger" von Kultur nach unserem traditionellen Kultur-Verst ndnis, sie pr gen unser Bild von "typisch" deutschen, europ ischen, asiatischen, indischen oder amerikanischen Verhaltensweisen und Wertesystemen. Nur wenn wir die kulturellen Eigenheiten der Menschen in unseren Projekten kennen und verstehen, k nnen wir auch wirklich begreifen, warum und wie sie handeln, denken und f hlen. Es gibt uns die M glichkeit, grobe Missverst ndnisse zu vermeiden und unerf llbaren Erwartungen vorzubeugen. Entscheidend ist dabei, alle kulturellen Faktoren auf den unterschiedlichen Ebenen sorgf ltig zu analysieren und daraus ein ganzheitliches Bild zu gewinnen - nur die Diagnose aller Symptome ergibt das vollst ndige Krankheitsbild. Dieser Ratgeber zeigt am Beispiel von Projekten im IT-Umfeld auf, welches die wichtigsten kulturellen Faktoren sind, auf die wir uns konzentrieren m ssen: pers nliche, gruppenbasierte, unternehmerische, nationale und regionale. Und er gibt anhand konkreter Tipps und Tricks viele direkt anwendbare Hilfestellungen zur Umsetzung in Ihren Projekten. Lernen Sie, wie Sie Ihre Projekte erfolgreicher planen, steuern und kontrollieren k nnen - von der Zieldefinition ber die Teamplanung bis zur Kommunikationsstrategie und dem Change Management. Der Autor Christian Becker greift auf 25 Jahre internationale Projektmanagement-Praxis zur ck und unterh lt kurzweilig mit berraschenden Einsichten und originellen Fallstudien. Die praxisnahen Tipps am Ende jedes Kapitels bieten sich als echte Kultur-Checkliste f r Projektleiter an.

Die öffentlichen Zusammenkünfte der Mitgliedsstaaten der Vereinten Nationen (VN) sind Hochzeiten für Symbolpolitik und Inszenierung. Im Rahmen der Weltorganisation platzieren sie die Staatengemeinschaft und ihre Mitglieder für kurze Zeit prominent in der medialen Berichterstattung und setzen die Versammelten vor der Weltöffentlichkeit in Szene. Hinsichtlich ihrer Bedeutung für die Staatengemeinschaft werden die häufig als „Schauveranstaltungen“ und „Medienevents“ kritisierten Zusammenkünfte indes wenig beachtet. Dies nimmt Christian Becker zum Anlass, entlang theoretischer Überlegungen und empirischer Analyse der Frage nach dem „Sinn“ jener mediatisierten Großereignisse nachzugehen und das Spannungsverhältnis von Gemeinschaftsmythos, strategischem Handeln und Legitimationsprozessen in der öffentlichen Arena herauszuarbeiten. Am Beispiel der Generaldebatte der VN-Vollversammlung und des Millennium+5-Gipfels setzt er sich mit der Eigenlogik, Funktionalität sowie dem ambivalenten Potenzial der rituellen Inszenierungen auseinander und analysiert deren Relevanz für Kontinuität und Wandel.

The book identifies the specific ethical aspects of sustainability and develops ethical tools to analyze them. It also provides a methodological framework to integrate ethical and scientific analyses of sustainability issues, and explores the notion of a new type of self-reflective inter- and transdisciplinary sustainability research. With this, the book aims to strengthen the overall ability of academics to contribute to the analysis and solution of sustainability issues in an inclusive and integrated way.

? Insbesondere internationale Marken kommunizieren oft aktiv ihre räumliche Herkunft, z. B. im Logo, im Markennamen oder in der Werbung. Dadurch sollen beim Nachfrager positive Assoziationen geweckt und auf das Markenimage übertragen werden. Die dahinterliegenden kognitiven, affektiven und normativen Prozesse werden vom Autor theoretisch erklärt und anschließend für fünf Branchen kausalanalytisch am Beispiel des Wachstumsmarktes Indiens untersucht. Auf Basis der empirischen Ergebnisse zeigt der Autor, wie internationale Marken ihre Herkunft einsetzen können, um sich funktional und emotional vom Wettbewerb zu differenzieren und Kunden zu gewinnen.

Die 2001 von Russland, China und mehreren zentralasiatischen Staaten gegrundete Shanghaier Organisation fur Zusammenarbeit (SOZ) ist eine regionale Kooperationsstruktur, die bislang vergleichsweise geringe politikwissenschaftliche Aufmerksamkeit gefunden hat. Ausgangspunkt der Arbeit ist das politische System der SOZ-Mitgliedsstaaten: Inwiefern beeinflusst die Tatsache, dass die SOZ ein Zusammenschluss von Staaten mit autoritaren politischen Systemen ist, die Kooperationsausgestaltung? Im Zuge der Antwort auf diese Frage werden in der Studie Ziele, bisherige Entwicklung und das Zusammenwirken der Organe und Gremien der Organisation untersucht.

Wird ein Unternehmen durch mehrere Familien gefuhrt, so ist es nach Familienstammen organisiert. Im Rahmen der Arbeit werden Mustergesellschaftsvertrage aus Formularsammlungen fur diese spezielle Form der Familiengesellschaft analysiert und anhand eines hierzu entwickelten Prufungsschemas vergleichend gegenuber gestellt. Den Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bilden Klauseln zur Unternehmensfuhrung, zur Beschlussfassung innerhalb der Gesellschaft und zur Vererbung und UEbertragung von Gesellschaftsanteilen. Ebenso werden Regelungen zum Erhalt der Stammesparitat sowie zur Einbindung Dritter in das Unternehmen gepruft. Es werden Gestaltungen des Gesellschaftsvertrags erarbeitet, durch welche Konflikte zwischen den Familienstammen vermieden und die Handlungsfahigkeit der Gesellschaft auch bei groesser werdendem Gesellschafterkreis sichergestellt werden kann.
