Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware -Alpha-Versionen sind Lehrbücher, Gesetze, Hochglanzprospekte, Aktienneuemissionsanzeigen, Regierungserklärungen. Dahinter ist das Reale. Hinter den Lehrbüchern die vorlesende Forscherpersönlichkeit, hinter dem Prospekt der Rat des erfahrenen Fachverkäufers. Alpha-Versionen meiden Urteile, Meinungen und Leidenschaftlichkeit. Dieses Buch ist kompromisslos beta. Hier werden die schnellen Veränderungen der Informationsgesellschaft mit dem einhergehenden täglichen Wahnsinn aus möglichen und unmöglichen Perspektiven aufs Korn genommen - und wo es nicht anders geht, wird das zu arg Provozierende in Schwarzhumorsatire genießbar gemacht ('Nicht nur zur Neujahrszeit' oder 'Das Ende der DGeneration').Das Buch enthält die bisherigen Texte der 'Kult'-Kolumne Beta-inside (Informatik-Spektrum) des 'Wild Duck' Autors, ergänzt um Satiren, die eher 'das Schönste' am Buche sind. Die Neuauflage wurde um ein Nachwort des Autors erweitert. 184 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a self-contained introduction to the theory of guiding functions methods, which can be used to study the existence of periodic solutions and their bifurcations in ordinary differential equations, differential inclusions and in control theory. It starts with the basic concepts of nonlinear and multivalued analysis, describes the classical aspects of the method of guiding functions, and then presents recent findings only available in the research literature. It describes essential applications in control theory, the theory of bifurcations, and physics, making it a valuable resource not only for 'pure' mathematicians, but also for students and researchers working in applied mathematics, the engineering sciences and physics. 196 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Especially in times of an economic boom following a crisis, companies have to deal with the phenomenon of the 'working capital trap,' which signifies a company's increasing need for financial liquidity in times of hindered access to debt capital, caused by the increasingly restrictive credit approval processes of financial institutions. As a consequence of cost savings, this situation is often reinforced by a low level of inventory. This book takes up the problem and shows ways of escaping the 'trap' by identifying and strengthening in-house financing potential. First, different operating ratios will be introduced. These refer to the amount of capital committed to the flow of goods and to the amount of in-house financing possible. Subsequently, methods for consolidating in-house financing that are affected by procurement processes will be presented from the company's and the supply chain's perspective. From a company's perspective, the methods for consolidating the amount of in-house financing over the following topics: The Management of Payment Terms, Inventory Management and Product Group and Supplier Management From the supply chain's perspective, the following methods for extending the possible amount of in-house financing will be discussed: Finance-Oriented Supply Chain Sourcing, Supply Chain-Oriented Supplier Financing, Collaborative Cash-to-Cash Management, Collaborative Cash Pooling and Netting, Supply Chain Financing Platforms.The conceptual models will be clarified using a practical example from the automobile industry. Finally, the 'Procurement Value Added' (PVA ) approach will be presented, a concept that measures the contribution of procurement to the company's success. 104 pp. Englisch.
