Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Internet and media addiction research has grown in the past decades. We investigated the causal processes involved in the development of TV and Internet addiction. We conducted three studies to develop and validate new measures of TV and Internet affinity, or importance, based on the compulsion and salience dimensions. We discovered that TV and Internet compulsion parallels the incentive-sensitization theory¿s excessive wanting factor, and that compulsion and strength of habit of use are the main determinants of media dependence. We report that compulsion and habit totally mediated the impact of media use on addiction, and we suggest the ¿habit scrambling¿ and ¿habit replacement¿ techniques for dealing with behavioral addictions. Counseling professionals, policy makers, addiction specialists, and researchers of risk behaviors will benefit from the results of this research. Assessing behavioral compulsion along with common factors of risk can become a valuable screening practice for a range of behaviors that can potentially lead to abuse and psychological dependence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Finally, several recommendations to improve TIP¿s performance towards its sustainability are proposed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -There is an ongoing transition process in many manufacturing companies in terms of moving from the traditional role of selling products towards new business direction, value added sales or value selling. This transition process has also affected the role of salespeople in terms of shifting their role from product sales orientation towards business solutions orientation. The greatest challenge to be addressed is to move away from the product orientated sales process and to instead concentrate on the value selling process, based on offering the impactful value of business solutions which can improve customers¿ business processes. This is why value added sales or value selling strategy is of crucial importance as well as spatial proximity to customers in order to nurture and develop relationship. The main purpose of this thesis is to describe and explain the value selling strategy in general and its impact on sales development with focus on ESAB Brazil.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -To fully understand the role of the book in today¿s culture, I will also be looking at the context into which the printed book was born. Described, as ¿more than a triumph of technological ingenuity¿ the implications of the book throughout history are huge, ¿[the book] was one of the most potent agents at the disposal of western civilisation in bringing together the scattered ideas of representative thinkers.¿ (Febvre and Martin, 1976, pg.10). The implications of the printed book throughout history are evident through the evolution of the spreading of knowledge. I plan to investigate how much further the book¿s reach goes, examining it as a social object, and an agent of change. In an ever-changing world, examining the role of the book when digital media has allowed information to be more accessible than ever before will provide us with a chance to view the book in its changing form.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world has been tired of seeing limitless wars and conflicts what result in mere tears and blood. History suggests that men play the protagonist role in most of the conflicts, women bear the brunt. We now tempt to taste alternatively. The study has focused on the issue of women¿s role in conflict resolution and peacemaking based on a conflict laden area of Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh. In 1997, the government of Bangladesh reached a peace accord with the insurgent groups to halt the long-standing conflict. But no substantial change has been seen from the accord that was brokered exclusively by men. The study delved into the question that if women actively participate in formal conflict resolution process the level of conflict would not be so severe because they have long been doing this in the familial and community level. The study mainly on the indigenous women in CHT found some significant evidence that women are already in the process, directly or indirectly but they need recognition and proper support for further progress. We must address the gender dimension and gender blindness of conflict resolution.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -For many years Denmark has been one of the leading foreign investors in Lithuania and it continues to be amongst the key countries that Lithuania is willing to cooperate with going forward, by supporting the existing MNEs and attracting new FDI. Sadly, very few researchers have been interested in analyzing the patterns of FDI in Lithuania. For this reason there is little knowledge on how foreign investors perceive Lithuania, why they choose to invest there and what problems they face in this country. The aim of this work is to analyze the patterns of Danish FDI in Lithuania and answer a question: ¿why do Danish companies choose Lithuania for their foreign direct investment projects and what are the main problems that Danish firms come across when doing business in this country ¿ This research analyses 55 Danish companies in 10 industries, which engaged in foreign direct investment projects in Lithuania during 1990-2009. The work is based on Transaction Cost Theory, Resource Based View, OLI Paradigm, Porter¿s Diamond model and the Network Perspective. It analyses both firm-specific and location-specific FDI determinants and barriers.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book focuses on how the risk rating of a country may help to assess its corruption level. I¿ve investigated and compared country risk and corruption levels in two dynamic European transitional countries, namely Poland and the Czech Republic. A data analysis shows which country risk indicator better tracks the overall corruption level in the ECA region: the best agency out of five ( Fitch, Moody¿s, S&P¿s, EIU, ICRG) predicting better corruption within its country risk index ,in the period 2002-2005, results to be Fitch. I¿ve found that country risk, as measured by risk ratings, deteriorates as corruption increases.It follows from my estimates that an increase in country risk rating by a full rating category (i.e from BBB to A) has led to a raise of the overall corruption index by 2,574 unit which can be considered quite an high amount as the corruption scores of most central European transitional countries show a slighter difference among them.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Every country in the world has companies that hold a special place in the hearts of the people. These companies often have a long history within a certain nation and they enjoy a high level of brand loyalty. These kinds of companies are referred to as ¿national darlings¿. The concept seems quite self-evident, but is currently not present in academic literature. Nevertheless, the extraordinary position the company has can lead it to overestimate its capabilities outside of the native country. The ethos of constantly overestimating one¿s self is known as hubris, and on a company level as corporate hubris. The allusion of a polar bear in the jungle is used for two reasons. Firstly, it reflects well the situation of the beast that is used to being king being faced by a new habitat where his reputations does not proceed him. Secondly, it is the symbol of the case company of the study, Danish media conglomerate Nordisk Film. This study sets out to investigate whether corporate hubris plays a role in the difficulties of internationalisation of national darling companies by examining the distribution business of Nordisk Film TV between 2007 and 2009.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Executive compensation, especially in the financial sector, has long been the hot topic for debate. It recently got highlighted once again due to the global financial crisis that showed up as early as in 2008. The outcry is due to the existence of large proportion of performance-based compensation that encourages executives to take high risks in order to generate short-term profits, disregarding firm¿s future vulnerabilities. The finding showed no formal evidence for above hypothesis although many researchers argued in favor of some sort of executive compensation regulation based on accepted Principles. The book provides insight to the issues like: reason for excessive rise in executive compensation and its relation with risk-taking behavior; principles for executive compensation regulation and global response, with emphasis on Nepal (the blunder of Nepalese regulator, the Central Bank, and need for immediate revocation); and the way forward. The book may be important for students, scholars/professionals, and anyone interested in this field for policy-advocacy purpose. Policy makers, regulators, and government authorities will find it helpful in the decision-making process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Many studies show that the inflow of FDI plays a significant role in generating employment opportunities in host countries. Over the past two decades, the East African Community (EAC) countries have attracted foreign direct investment from developed countries and FDI flows to the EAC region increased significantly. The objective of this study was to undertake an empirical analysis on creation of employment opportunities by FDI during 2004-2008 in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda. We used the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The study shows that despite the clear enthusiasm of governments in these countries to attract FDI, its impact is not substantial in some of these countries. This book therefore, provides a new insight into the fields of international investments and economic development. The analysis should help shed some light into FDI and its impact on jobs creation in the EAC region, and should be especially useful to multinational corporations from developed countries and emerging economies. It is also likely to be of interest to policy makers and development practitioners in governments, non-governmental organizations and in the donor community.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -With this book we aim to contribute to the vast literature on conditional volatility models. Using the ARCH/GARCH class of models introduced in Engel¿s (1982) seminal paper we forecast one day ahead and ten days ahead Value-at-Risk on several exchange rates. The forecasts are done on a more volatile period than that period from which we estimate the models. We specify three models, GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) and test the models with three assumptions of the error distribution, normal, t and GED. We evaluate the models with Kupiec's (1995) test for unconditional coverage. The data ranges from January 1st 2006 through June 30th 2011. The results suggest that the GARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) with normally distributed innovations are models adequately capturing the conditional variance in the series.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Tax-benefit systems play an important role in the socioeconomic organisation of countries. Indeed, the distribution of income, living arrangements and the pattern of labor supply at one point in time are partly the outcome of past systems of taxation and social security benefits. The reason is that individuals react to the incentives displayed by those systems and modify their behavior accordingly. Tax-benefit systems need thus to be amended in some circumstances to account for changes in the socioeconomic circumstances. An obvious application is the ongoing question in economic literature and policy design of the choice of the unit of assessment in tax-benefit systems.The unspectacular evolution in women labor market participation observed over the past decades combined with an evolution of the structure of the family constituted major changes and challenged the traditional design of tax-benefit systems.This study will try to determine the current pattern governing household organization in terms of labor supply. The question will be to assert to what extent tax-benefit systems contribute to this situation and how they need to be amended to better reflect the changing conditions.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

This paper tends to investigate the internationalization process of Swedish SMEs and the contributions of social networks in the process. Immigrants are introduced as a social network. The results of the paper illustrate that the Swedish SMEs experience several barriers in the internationalization process due to the lack of financial resources and knowledge-related resources. They also gradually start the internationalization process in their neighbour countries. Moreover, the study shows that the immigrants contribute in the process of internationalization by providing the SMEs with market knowledge and through offering experiential learning.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The past two decades have resulted in an increase of international trade, capital flows and cross-border economic integrations. These phenomena have increased the demand for harmonized international accounting standards aimed to create an efficient resource allocation, worldwide. The adoption of IFRS is the result of a process towards a greater accounting harmonization. In Sweden, there are four categories of firms that apply IFRS; three are regulated by law, while the fourth are voluntary applying IFRS. The aim of this study is to find out which the factors are for the firms that voluntary apply IFRS and explain why they do it. We have found that there are 84 firms that voluntary apply IFRS, that is 35 percent. The significant factors to the voluntary application of IFRS are the use of an audit firm within the big four and the number of firms within the same industry that voluntary applies IFRS. Their voluntary application of IFRS has been explained to depend on the primarily advantages increased internal control, more extensive and detailed annual report, more investors, a good reputation in terms of a mark of quality and that the firms will be seen as good corporate citizen.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Over the years organizations are facing the problem of abusive supervision. Compared with nonabused subordinates, abused subordinates have higher quit rates. Abusive supervision has a variety of consequences in the work organization. The ill-treatment on part of a colleague can be irritating but the illtreatment on part of a person who can exercise authority over employee becomes stressful and creates tension. In such state of mind the employees find there work as a mental sprain and their work become a burden for them due to lack of interest and energy. Organizations that follow abusive style of leadership eventually frustrate the employees leaving them with stress, emotional exhaustion and intentions to leave the job. The harmful consequences of abusive supervision highlight both the theoretical and practical importance of understanding how this phenomenon affects not only subordinates but their families as well.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

This study explores whether the presence of a caregiver affects a patient¿s election of hospice care. The analysis uses data from the 1993 National Mortality Followback Survey to examine the probability of hospice user among people ages 15 and older who died from non-traumatic causes in that year. The key independent variable of interest was the presence of a caregiver, defined as someone who provided unpaid help taking care of the decedent or performing routine chores. Logistic regression results indicate that the presence of caregivers is strongly correlated with the decision to receive hospice care. The odds of individuals with caregivers using hospice services are between 2 and nearly 4 times as great as for those who need caregivers but are unable to obtain one. Policies that focus on hospice use must take into account the presence (or lack thereof) and potential effects of caregivers on patients.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.
