Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In the management discourse few words are thrown about more carelessly than organizational culture . While the term is usually defined too broadly including such phenomena as assumptions, values, traditions, articles of faith, myths and artifacts this book applies a far more narrow concept. Organizational culture, or the informal structure of an organization, is a term used to describe the behavioral expectations in an organization that have not been decided on in a formal way but that evolved by means of repetition and imitation. This book shows how this narrow definition makes it possible to more precisely observe and understand an organization s culture and its changes. Management s only way for influencing organizational culture and this may sound paradoxical at first is to change the organization s formal structure as for example its incentive schemes, goal-setting processes, strategic directions or hierarchy. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -'The killing of individuals must be accepted.'Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Bonn, in a telephone conversation with Minister of State Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski, Dubai, October 1977The year of terror in 1977, which included the kidnapping of German industrial leader Hanns Martin Schleyer and later the hijacking of the Lufthansa plane 'Landshut' with 86 passengers and five crew members on board, presented the Federal Republic of Germany with its greatest test to date. Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt had to engage in crisis management like no other incumbent before him. Hanns Martin Schleyer was ultimately murdered by his abductors, also the Captain of the 'Landshut' Jürgen Schumann. The other 'Landshut' hostages were freed by members of Border Guard Force 9 under Commander Ulrich Wegener.In this book, political scientist and historian Martin Rupps, who was responsible for bringing the 'Landshut' wreckage back to Germany from Brazil, retells the story of these fateful weeks, drawing on a range of previously unpublished sources to do so. For the first time, he shares deep insights into the thoughts and actions of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and the members of the core and extended crisis teams. Contrary to the official narrative, Schmidt has never practiced more political cooperation than in these weeks. Further, in the hijacked 'Landshut' itself, events unfolded differently than previously reported. 'Man is the wolf of man', as philosopher Thomas Hobbes famously wrote. 296 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book presents a comprehensive examination of crime patrolling problems across various domains, including robotics, security, and law enforcement, with a focus on the mathematical models used to optimize patrolling strategies. Patrolling is a critical crime prevention and deterrence strategy, requiring the effective allocation of resources to address evolving security challenges. In addition, patrolling is one of the most effective and widely adopted crime prevention and deterrence strategies worldwide. It is integral to security agencies such as police and military forces across various domains, including land, air, and maritime areas. As such, effective patrolling requires the coordination of manpower, technological resources, and policies to address evolving security challenges.The authors review recent research on robotic patrolling, multirobot systems, and police patrolling and also explore advances in modeling, optimization, and practical applications. In addition, the author s analysis categorizes studies by core modeling themes, such as Game Theory, Mathematical Optimization, and Stochastic methods, and highlights the secondary modeling themes that frequently complement the primary approaches. Each study is categorized by fields including, but not limited to domain, patrolling focus, area representation, and solution methodology to facilitate cross-comparison. The book identifies gaps in current research, particularly the lack of a holistic examination of patrolling from robotic, autonomous, human, and hybrid perspectives, and proposes future directions for research in this evolving field. 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This Open Access book provides a comprehensive exploration of voice as a biomarker, addressing a current issue where engineers often analyze voice using sentences without describing or understanding voice as a set of defined parameters among others visually. This approach poses challenges for effectively treating voice disorders, as the features defined by engineers may not align with clinical needs.Stemming from the work of the Biomarker Committee group under the European Union of Phoniatricians (UEP), this book is the result of collaborative efforts and presents clinical studies aimed at bridging the gap between engineering analyses and clinical requirements.In recent years, many engineers have utilized software for voice analysis, often within continuous speech sequences, but without adequately defining voice features or specifying the choice of machine learning programs.Organized into 14 chapters, the volume begins with an overview of voice biomarkers and relevant literature, covering the fundamental physiology of voice biomarkers and examining voice pathology. The last chapters discuss genetics and molecular biology aspects.This book will serve as an invaluable resource for medical specialists in otolaryngology, phoniatrics, and neurology, offering insights and approaches to enhance the understanding and treatment of voice-related conditions. 192 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book examines influence among decision-makers in group decision-making. It is quite common that people influence and are influenced by each other in group decision-making. Likewise, artificial intelligences can influence and be influenced by each other in interaction or collaboration, and both a person and an artificial intelligence can be called an agent. The author explores how humans or artificial intelligences can interact with and influence each other during the decision-making process, where such influence can reshape the outcome of the group decision. With an interdisciplinary approach, various applications are considered including: computer science (distributed computing, distributed artificial intelligence, particularly multi-agent system); economics and management (joint-stock company voting); and politics (domestic elections and international organization decision-making). The book presents settings of group decision-making where agents preferences/choices are influenced (and thus changed) by each other. As the influence of reality faced by an agent usually comes from more than one agent simultaneously, the author provides both cardinal and ordinal approaches, building social influence functions and a matrix influence function, to address multiple sources of influence in group decision-making. To better describe the complex influence in reality, the author provides a framework of the three levels of influence and its mathematical models to address individual, coalitional, and structural influence and their mixed effects in the context of group decision-making. Even though it is not easy to address the influence of structures on an agent as the influencing subject and the influenced object are disparate, the former is the inter-relationships between agents while the latter is the preference/choice of a single agent.Furthermore, the author considers combinatorial and collective decision-making and provides a framework model of influence across multiple agents and issues. 116 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This book questions thephysics of diversity why diversity happens by itself, why it is a phenomenon that has a mind of its own, and why it opposes any effort of being shoehorned into a few distinct (antagonistic) classes. Physics is not opinion; physical facts can be put to the test. The book begins with fundamentals of design evolution in nature movement, time direction, freedom to change, size, shape, structure. It continues with pictorial examples of distinct evolutionary domains of the most common type: people, animals, athletes, rhythms, technologies, and universities. The features of diversity shared so clearly by so many dissimilar domains empower the biosphere with the design that sustains it and assures its future. An integral part of nature s design is the merit system. This way thereadersdiscoveron their ownthat diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficially. The book is alive with illustrations, anecdotes, humor, and history.Reveals that diversity emerges naturally, inevitably, steadfastly, and beneficiallyExplains how Unnatural (imposed) diversity is destined to fade, like all the unhelpful ideas, inventions and lawsLiberates thereadersto question, think, decide, and then question themselves 212 pp. Englisch.
