Bedrohungen erkennen, bevor sie eskalieren. Verantwortung übernehmen, bevor es zu spät ist. Stalking, sexualisierte Gewalt, Radikalisierung – Unternehmen sehen sich zunehmend mit komplexen Gefahren konfrontiert, die weit über wirtschaftliche Risiken hinausgehen. Die Sicherheit von Mitarbeitenden, Führungskräften und deren Angehörigen steht auf dem Spiel. Doch wie lassen sich Warnzeichen erkennen und gefährliche Entwicklungen stoppen, bevor es zu einer Eskalation kommt? Dieses Buch gibt einen praxisorientierten und psychologisch fundierten Einblick in ein professionelles Bedrohungsmanagement in Unternehmen. Es zeigt auf, wie Informationen zusammengeführt werden, fundierte Einschätzungen potenziell gefährlicher Situationen gelingen und wie ein strukturiertes Fallmanagement zu einer erfolgreichen Bewältigung beiträgt. Anhand praxisnaher Fallbeispiele wird deutlich, wie eine interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen HR, Sicherheitsverantwortlichen, Recht und externen Stellen wie Polizei oder Behörden gelingt. Zu den Zielgruppen: Ein unverzichtbarer Leitfaden für Führungskräfte, Personalverantwortliche und Sicherheitsbeauftragte – für mehr Sicherheit, Verantwortung und Prävention im beruflichen Umfeld. Zu den Autoren: In ihrer Komplementarität aus betrieblichem Bedrohungsmanagement und Beratung von Unternehmen in komplexen Bedrohungslagen verfügt das Autorenteam über eine langjährige Erfahrung im Aufbau und Implementierung eines Bedrohungsmanagements sowie der erfolgreichen Bearbeitung von Hoch-Risikofällen. In einer Welt, die zunehmend von Unsicherheiten und Gewaltvorfällen geprägt ist, wächst die Verantwortung von Unternehmen, sichere und angstfreie Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen. Ein geschütztes und sicheres Arbeitsumfeld ist nicht nur ein Zeichen von Fürsorge, sondern auch ein Schlüsselfaktor für Produktivität, Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit und langfristigen Erfolg.

This book is the first to provide an introductory overview to the concept of ‘urban informality’, taking an international perspective across the global North and South. It explores theoretical understandings of the term, and looks at how it affects ways of living, such as land use, housing and basic services, working lives and politics. Using a broad range of material to bring the topic to life, including non-conventional sources – such as fiction, poetry, photography, interviews and other media – the book helps students, practitioners and scholars develop learning and research on this topic. The book also includes interjections from diverse voices of practitioners, community activists and regional experts.

This book breaks new ground in understanding urban indigeneity in policy and planning practice. It is the first comprehensive and comparative study that foregrounds the complex interplay of multiple organisations involved in translating indigenous rights to the city in Latin America, focussing on the cities of La Paz and Quito. The book establishes how planning for urban indigeneity looks in practice, even in seemingly progressive settings, such as Bolivia and Ecuador, where indigenous rights to the city are recognised within constitutions. It demonstrates that the translation of indigenous rights to the city is a process involving different actor groups operating within state institutions and indigenous communities, which often hold conflicting interests and needs. The book also establishes a set of theoretical, methodological, and practical foundations for envisaging how urban indigenous planning in Latin America and elsewhere should be understood, studied, and undertaken: As a process which embraces conflict and challenges power relations within indigenous communities and between these communities and the state. This book will appeal to practitioners, researchers, and students working within the fields of urban planning, urban development, and indigenous rights.

Despite the fact that firms and individuals have been sourcing on a global basis since ancient times, global sourcing as a topic has received considerable attention from managers and scholars in recent years. Global business has been reported to be growing considerably during the last decades and the trend continues; hence a scientific examination of global sourcing performance and success factors is timely and appropriate. This dissertation explores some of the effects, the success factors, as well as the threats of global sourcing. Particular attention is paid to performance evaluation and integration as a prerequisite for successful global sourcing. It consists of four independent scientific papers connected by means of a coherent thematical bracket. The first two papers address the perception of global sourcing as a purchasing panacea, and compare it to real results from global sourcing. The last two chapters explore the role of the buying companies' internal and external integration with suppliers, giving insight into performance results from integration. The research was performed with a triangulation of methods, notably findings from qualitative and quantitative research, based on primary and secondary data.
