Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2005.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In undertaking this research on strategy at work, several key issues emerged and shaped its course. Firstly, it was essential to understand what strategy is about. Since the humble beginnings of strategic management in the world of business, there has been confusion about its definition and basic elements. The number of definitions, of varying usefulness, is almost as infinite as the number of authors in this field. This study therefore attempts to pinpoint the commonly agreed upon underlying elements of strategy. Secondly, the use of strategy and the benefits accruing to the corporate world were of interest. An investigation into the use of strategy and its effect on performance was carried out by means of a survey among German companies in the machine and plant manufacturing industry. Finally, data gathered were analysed to prove the existence of a relationship between the use of strategy and corporate performance. This task was done by means of non-empirical as well as empirical study. The non-empirical study was undertaken as a literature review, and set out to investigate the basic principles of strategy in order to establish a common definition regarding the elements of strategy. On the other hand, the empirical study took place in the form of a survey, collecting primary data on the matter. From the literature review it was concluded that strategy can be defined by means of five elements, namely plan, ploy, pattern, perspective and position. While the first three elements are related more to the 'how' of strategy, by asking in which form they can be seen, the latter two tell more about the 'what' of strategy, by clarifying the content. In addition to the elements of strategy, it was established that, for the purpose of this study, corporate performance can be described by using four indicators, namely growth, market share, return on equity and innovation. In the subsequent survey, companies were requested to respond to a questionnaire regarding these five elements, as well as the four indicators of their performance. Close analysis showed that companies did indeed utilise one or more elements of strategy. It is noteworthy that only two companies reported that they did not make use of strategy at all. More significant is the finding that there is a small positive relationship between the use of elements of strategy and performance. In summing up, it can be said that companies indeed utilise elements of strategy. Furthermore, it can be concluded that companies using more elements of strategy may do better than companies using fewer elements, since there is a small positive relationship between the number of elements used and performance.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie navorsingsprojek oor Strategy at Work (Strategie in Werking) het verskeie sleutelaangeleenthede, wat die verloop daarvan gevorm het, opgeduik. Eerstens was dit noodsaaklik om begrip te hê waaroor strategie handel. Sedert die nederige ontstaan van strategiese bestuur in die sakewêreld, heers daar verwarring oor sy basiese elemente en 'n definisie daarvoor. Die aantal definisies - van afwisselende nuttigheid - is bykans so ontelbaar soos die hoeveelheid skrywers in hierdie veld. Derhalwe probeer hierdie studie die algemeen erkende en onderliggende elemente van strategie haarfyn aanwys. Tweedens was die aanwending van strategie en die voordele wat gevolglik vir die korporatiewe wêreld aangroei van belang. 'n Ondersoek na die aanwending van stategie en dié se uitwerking op prestasie is uitgevoer deur middel van 'n opname onder Duitse maatskappye in die masjien- en aanlegvervaardigingsnywerheid. Ten slotte is versamelde gegewens geanaliseer om die bestaan van 'n verband tussen die aanwending van strategie en korporatiewe prestasie te bewys. Hierdie taak is deur middel van nie-empiriese sowel as empiriese studie uitgevoer. Die nie-empiriese studie is as 'n literêre oorsig uitgevoer en het 'n ondersoek na die basiese beginsels van strategie behels - met die skep van 'n algemene definisie betreffende die elemente van strategie as oogmerk. Daarenteen het die empiriese studie die vorm aangeneem van 'n opname waartydens vername gegewens oor die aangeleentheid versamel is. Uit die literêre oorsig is die gevolgtrekking gemaak dat strategie deur middel van vyf elemente, naamlik plan, metode, patroon, perspektief en posisie, gedefinieer kan word. Waar eersvermelde drie elemente meer verband hou met die "hoe" van strategie deur te vra in watter vorm dit gesien kan word, gaan dit by die oorblywende twee meer oor die "wat" van strategie deur die inhoud te verhelder. Benewens die elemente van strategie is daar vasgestel dat vir die doel van hierdie studie korporatiewe prestasie beskryf kan word deur die aanwending van vier aanwysers, naamlik groei, markaandeel, rendement van ekwiteit en innovasie. In die daaropvolgende opname is maatskappye versoek om te reageer op 'n vraelys oor hierdie vyf elemente, asook die vier aanwysers rakende hulle prestasie. Noukeurige analise het getoon dat maatskappye inderdaad een of meer elemente van strategie aangewend het. Dit is meldenswaardig dat net twee maatskappye aangedui het dat hulle geensins van strategie gebruik gemaak het nie. En meer betekenisvol is die bevinding dat daar 'n geringe, positiewe verwantskap is tussen die aanwending van elemente van strategie en prestasie. Opsommenderwys kan aangevoer word dat maatskappye inderdaad elemente van stategie aanwend. Vervolgens kan die afleiding gemaak word dat maatskappye, wat meer elemente van strategie toepas, nog beter vaar as maatskappye wat minder elemente aanwend aangesien daar 'n klein, positiewe verband tussen die aantal elemente wat aangewend word en prestasie bestaan.

Résumé :

This dissertation considers different aspects of early childhood education in Germany. It aims at providing an empirical contribution to four issues in early childhood education: the development of cognitive and noncognitive skills (chapter 1-3), institutional child care (chapter 4), the intergenerational transmission of a child's health (chapter 5), and the long-term consequences of early noncognitive skills (chapter 6). This is done by using two data sets: First, we use the mother and child data from the German Socio-economic Panel (SOEP) for the years 2003-2008. The mother and child questionnaire, firstly implemented in 2003, contains detailed information on a child's cognitive and noncognitive skills and health, starting from the time of birth. This information on a child's human capital was assessed by the mothers. Second, we exploit a prospective psychological longitudinal panel study on child development from birth until adulthood, the Mannheim Study of Children at Risk (MARS). These data allow us to use more reliable information on a child's cognitive and noncognitive skills from the age of three months on. However, this study is not representative because children at risk are oversampled. Altogether, the different studies suggest that parental investment (economic resources or non-economic resources) in children explain, at least to some extent, the development of cognitive and noncognitive skills as well as the child's health status. Scope for further research is pointed out, particularly related to long-term consequences of cognitive and noncognitive skills acquired during early childhood. A deeper understanding of how skills develop over the life cycle promises to enrich the economic theory and helps to understand the sources as well as the solutions for inequality
Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht verschiedene Aspekte der frühkindlichen Bildung in Deutschland. Während sich die empirische Bildungsforschung in den letzten Jahren intensiv mit Fragen der institutionellen Bildung beschäftigt hat, weisen aktuell geführte familien- und bildungspolitische Diskussionen und neuere Forschungsstudien zunehmend auf die Bedeutung der frühkindlichen Entwicklungsphase als erste Phase für die Entwicklung und Förderung von Humankapital hin. Die Arbeit nimmt die aktuelle Diskussion zum Anlass, unterschiedliche Aspekte der frühkindlichen Bildung in Deutschland zu untersuchen. Die ersten drei Kapitel dieser Arbeit untersuchen, wie sich Fähigkeiten in der (frühen) Kindheit entwickeln. Dafür wird eine Fähigkeitsproduktionsfunktion zugrunde gelegt und deren zentrale Eigenschaften zu unterschiedlichen Phasen innerhalb der (frühen) Kindheit auf ihre empirische Relevanz hin untersucht. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, Wirkungen unterschiedlicher Investitionen für die Entwicklung kognitiver und nicht-kognitiver Fähigkeiten innerhalb der ersten Lebensjahre zu beleuchten und geeignete politische Instrumente daraus abzuleiten. Kapitel vier beleuchtet den Aspekt der institutionellen Kinderbetreuung für die frühkindliche Bildung in Westdeutschland. Die zugrundeliegende Überlegung dieses Abschnitts ist die Frage, ob der institutionellen Kinderbetreuung in Deutschland neben seiner Betreuungsfunktion neuerdings auch eine Bildungsfunktion zugesprochen wird. Zahlreiche Studien zeigen, dass die Gesundheit in der frühen Kindheit eine zentrale Rolle für die Gesundheit im Erwachsenenalter spielt, und gleichzeitig den Erwerb von Fähigkeiten in der frühen Kindheit und damit auch für spätere Lebensphasen unmittelbar beeinflusst. Die Rolle der Gesundheit innerhalb in der ersten Lebensjahre wird in Kapitel 5 untersucht. Neben der unumstrittenen Bedeutung kognitiver Fähigkeiten für eine Vielzahl ökonomischer und nicht-ökonomischer Outcomes, zeigen neuere Studien die Bedeutung nicht-kognitiver Fähigkeiten. Im letzten Kapitel (sechs) werden daher mittel- bis langfristige Konsequenzen geringer nicht-kognitiver Fähigkeiten in der frühen Kindheit für eine Reihe von sozialen Outcomes (Schulleistungen, Gesundheitsverhalten, Persönlichkeit) im Jugendalter analysiert

Résumé :

Looking at smoking-behavior it can be shown that there are differences concerning the time-preference-rate. Therefore this has an effect on the optimal schooling decision in the way that we appear a lower average human capital level for smokers. According to a higher time-preference-rate additionally we suppose a higher return to education for smokers who go further on education. With our empirical findings we can confirm the presumptions. We use interactions-terms to regress the average rate of return with IV. Therefore we obtain that smokers have a significantly higher average return to education than non-smokers.

Résumé :

This dissertation investigates the question: why do some regions industrialize and others do not? The research focuses on industrialization in Germany in the second half of the 19th century when the country adopted British steam technology and built a dense railroad network. The central thesis is that the adoption of steam powered machinery created incentives for manufacturers to concentrate production in central areas and around coal fields. The railroad boom lowered trade costs and thereby made it feasible to serve distant markets from these central locations. As a result, the Ruhr Area gained industrial employment in large numbers while regions in Bavaria and East Elbia lost their traditional manufacturing centers. Specifically, the first chapter finds that increases in the use of steam power led to a rise in the spatial concentration of manufacturing industries and higher co-location with coal mining. The second chapter compares the effects of access to coal and access to consumer markets on regional industrial employment to separately identify the impact of coal fields and the population centers that formed around them. The results show that access to coal was more important than access to consumer markets for the location of metal production and textiles. The third chapter shows that improvements in market access had a negative impact on manufacturing growth in regions with below median per capita manufacturing employment, but for regions above this mark the impact was positive. This means that the transportation improvements did not support the dispersion of industry but instead contributed to the geographic concentration of industrialization. Together the chapters show that the adoption of steam powered technology in manufacturing and transportation raised the spatial concentration of manufacturing and help to explain why industrial development was not more widespread in Germany.

Résumé :

This work aims at answering the following questions: what is the gain in future earnings from spending one more year in schooling? Do all years in education increase one’s wages by the same amount? Will obtaining a diploma positively affect one’s future wage? By running a Mincer equation enhanced with factors such as sector of employment or gender and using the educational attainment of the parents as an instrumental variable on the 2017 wave of the German Socio-economic Panel, I am able to estimate that in Germany, returns to education are around 10%. To circumvent endogeneity and omitted variable bias, 2SLS is favoured against OLS. Despite this, the results are similar to previous literature which employed a simple OLS on a Mincer equation though it is also found that OLS underestimates returns to education by 1.2%. Returns to the school years themselves are estimated to be more or less stable and fluctuate between 6 and 12% with the exception of the 9th year of schooling which is more impactful at 24% and the 14th at zero. Finally, due to the complex nature of the German educational system, it was not possible to ascertain the existence of diploma effects.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This dissertation assesses the factors that inﬂuence the development of juvenile justice policy in France and Germany within the context of systems theory, The project utilizes an open/closed systems framework as a way to conceptualize determinants of juvenile justice policy. France and Germany serve as two single case studies for demonstrating the open and closed dichotomy that characterize system theory with France being characterized as a closed system while Germany is characterized as an open system. This difference is demonstrated through a discussion of historical, cultural, political, social and economic variables, which shape policy development in each of these countries. This project contends that a signiﬁcant contribution is made to the understanding of policy making using the open and closed systems framework. Design and methodology: Single case studies : France and Germany Development of common variables to be investigated across two systems Focused interviews with key informants, non-random sample, one-on-one, in person, purposive, taped and transcribed Content analysis of focused interviews Content analysis of juvenile justice policies in France and Germany Database searches of print media coverage A review of documents: laws, policies, penal codes, newspapers, legislative minutes Comparative analysis Data analysis: qualitative and quantitative techniques, mixed methodology Gathering of public opinion poll information Summary of the ﬁndings: 1) The preponderance of information indicates that the relationship between policy change and media coverage is strongly related in both France and Germany 2) Public concern over juvenile crime in France has the greatest inﬂuence on the implementation of policy rather than on policy development. The research indicates that in Germany, public opinion has a decided inﬂuence on the formation of public policy 3) The evidence seems to indicate that the process of policy making in Germany is more complex due to the open nature of the system, while in France the policy making process is simpler due to the closed nature of the system. 4) The evidence indicates that the French juvenile justice policy is as prevention-oriented as the German policy, in spite of France being characterized as a closed system. The open and closed framework provides two mutually exclusive models that can be used to assess, in an eﬂicient manner, factors that inﬂuence policy development. Through comparison and contrast, a variety of factors that may shape policy can be articulated using the open and closed dichotomy.

Résumé :

A good leadership inside a company is able to improve a company’s performance.

This thesis tries to highlight the importance of an effective leader for a company and

how a company is able to enhance their performance by upgrading leadership

training. Therefore, this work concentrates on the technical industry in Germany to

find a standardized leader image regarding biographical characteristics, which offers

the requirements for modulating leadership development methods or rather leadership

training to it.

The existing literature gave information about the duties and responsibilities of a

leading person and the major contributors to an effective leader. Beyond that,

information has been gathered about the educational background of the leadership

circles in Germany’s top companies to draw a conclusion about the composition of

the leadership ranks in Germany’s technical companies. Besides, leadership

development methods have been analyzed from which leadership training is

emphasized as the most important for this study.

In order to gather the missing information, a qualitative research has been conducted,

giving the information about the standard leaders as a male, studied engineer, who did

not experience leadership soft skills during his academic education. From this it

follows, that it is possible to adapt leadership training in terms of knowledge transfer

of leadership soft skills especially to fill the gaps of the technical audience.

Résumé :

Artists throughout the centuries have infused art their art with their ideological outlook in order to persuade, educate or shock target audiences. Typically, these ideologies, revolve around religious and political systems. However, they can also encompass unpopular and revolting subject matter that many people choose to avoid. I embrace this tactic in my art and cast myself in the role of social critic and propagandist.

I create art with the intent to shed light on the effects of greed, because it serves as a disastrous catalyst for numerous problems within our society. These problems are addressed in my sculptures and prints by focusing on issues relating to agribusiness and the use of animals in industry.

The general public is not exposed to sufficient information regarding these negative aspects. They include the annual abuse of billions of animals for human consumption, as well as for clothing and product testing. Environmental damage caused by feedlots and pesticides should be a major concern, but is often overlooked. People need information in order to make knowledgeable decisions concerning what they eat and what they feed their children.

Therefore, by avoiding the abstract and the esoteric, and by creating visually appealing and potentially educational art, it is my intent to interest and inform my audience. This kind of easily-readable, propagandistic art can shed light on these subjects and is one step toward reform. Art holds an extraordinary power when it comes to influencing the masses and can be used as an educational tool to ignite positive social change. Like an artistic Pied Piper, this body of work is intended to lead an audience down the road to moral and culinary enlightenment.

This work examines the industry of Dermocosmetics or Cosmeceuticals, with a focus on the female consumer behavior. The scope of this work is the Brazilian and German markets, given that these two countries are among the biggest consumer markets of cosmetics and dermocosmetics (Euromonitor, 2014). Based on consumer behavior theories, previous studies about cosmetic markets, and an interview with a market specialist, we raised the most recurrent five topics, which were further investigated in order to understand the consumer behavior profiles of the Brazilian and the German women and, most importantly, understand the difference in preferences and trends between these two groups. The topics chosen where: (1) Preferences regarding the product origin (2) Preferences regarding the product type (3) What are the major concerns when choosing a product (I.E. esthetics, health etc) (4) On whom/what they rely to make the purchase decision (5) Concern with organic/sustainable products. This study consisted in the application of questionnaire to 72 Brazilian women and 68 German women to arrive to a valid sample of fifty Brazilian and fifty German women from 25 to 40 years old with similar acquisition power. Among the findings: German women tend to be more ethnocentric than Brazilians when choosing a cosmetics; there is a positive heurism towards French products in both populations; Brazilians make more use of advanced facial sunscreens and anti-agers, while Germans make more use of facial moisturizes and anti-agers and Brazilians use much more body products; German women are more driven by utilitarian motives, physiological needs and are more concern to their skin health, while Brazilians have more hedonic motives, are more concerned to the appearance; Brazilians are more looking to try new products while Germans are more traditional; both populations rely on dermatologists and friends/family to make the purchase, but Brazilians value and attend more dermatologists; Germans buy more organic/sustainable products than Brazilians, reasons were pointed as few options, lower quality, but both groups are willing to pay more if the quality is even.
Este trabalho examina a indústria de Dermocosméticos ou cosmecêuticos, com foco no comportamento do consumidor feminino. O escopo deste trabalho é o mercado brasileiro e alemão, uma vez que esses dois países estão entre os maiores mercados consumidores de cosméticos e dermocosméticos (Euromonitor, 2014). Com base em teorias de comportamento do consumidor, estudos anteriores sobre os mercados de cosméticos e uma entrevista com um especialista de mercado, levantamos os cinco tópicos mais recorrentes, que foram investigados para entender os perfis de comportamento do consumidor das mulheres brasileiras e alemãs. Os temas escolhidos são: (1) Preferências em relação à origem do produto (2) Preferências em relação ao tipo de produto (3) Quais são as principais preocupações na escolha de um produto (estética, saúde etc.) (4) O que/quem influencia na decisão de compra (5) Preocupação com produtos orgânicos/sustentáveis. Este estudo consistiu na aplicação de questionário a 72 mulheres brasileiras e 68 mulheres alemãs para chegar a uma amostra válida de cinquenta mulheres brasileiras e cinquenta alemãs de 25 a 40 anos com poder de aquisição semelhante. Entre as descobertas: as mulheres alemãs tendem a ser mais etnocêntricas do que as brasileiros quando escolhem dermocosméticos; há um heurismo positivo em relação aos produtos franceses em ambas as populações; as brasileiras fazem mais uso de protetores solares e anti-agressivos faciais avançados, enquanto as alemãs, hidratantes faciais e anti-agressivos e as brasileiras usam muito mais produtos para o corpo; as mulheres alemãs são mais levadas a motivos utilitários, necessidades fisiológicas e mais preocupadas com a saúde da pele, enquanto as brasileiros têm mais motivos hedônicos, estão mais preocupados com a aparência; as brasileiros estão mais interessados em experimentar novos produtos, enquanto as alemãs são mais tradicionais; ambas as populações contam com dermatologistas e amigos/familiares para fazer a compra, mas as brasileiros valorizam e frequentam mais dermatologistas; as alemães compram mais produtos orgânicos / sustentáveis do que as brasileiras, os motivos foram apontados como poucas opções, de menor qualidade, mas os grupos estão dispostos a pagar mais se a qualidade for uniforme.

Résumé :

Corporate entrepreneurship has gained renewed interested in research since global markets are evolving and industries become more and more competitive. Information is transferred across the globe rapidly so that products and processes can be copied quickly. In order to be competitive, companies need to enhance creativity, their technological knowledge and market know-how. This high competitiveness leads to a dilemma where innovation is a key to survive whilst the size and administration may signify barriers to replicate entrepreneurial behavior through the entire business. Considering the relevance of corporate entrepreneurship in the rapidly changing market of the 21st century, our purpose was to develop a deeper understanding of how corporate entrepreneurship can be used by companies. We then looked deeper into the subject of organizational transformation and decided to do a case study. The aim of the research was to make a theoretical contribution by examining the subject in the context of a medium-sized enterprise in a specific environment where corporate entrepreneurship is vital. Therefore, we chose a medium-sized German company that operates in the increasingly complex and competitive process automation industry. The Gefeba Elektro GmbH was found to be an interesting case for a case study for several reasons. The company was situated in a highly competitive market, in the heart of the industrial ‘Rurhgebiet’, with numerous competitors. However, and despite the lack of resources faced by this SME, Gefeba is an important actor in the automation industry. Although researchers have examined various factors that promote corporate entrepreneurship, the literature has focused on defining factors in isolation without linking them to architectural factors, especially when it comes to SMEs. These factors are defined in our study as leadership, culture, structure and strategy. Acting within the extremes of small businesses and large corporations, we focus our study on a single medium-sized company that enables us to reach different levels of the organization and grasp a holistic understanding of this specific organization in relation to its use of CE. In accordance to this, the main research question is: How does Gefeba Elektro GmbH use corporate entrepreneurship in the automation sector industry? The study was conducted using a qualitative research method. One of the major findings is that the Gefeba Elektro GmbH is using a balance between the organizational antecedents of common values and flexibility to build a mechanism that aligns the organizational architecture towards the development of corporate entrepreneurship. Another aspect is the fact that every architectural factor is used for the development of CE, even if some architectural factors such as leadership and culture seem to have more importance in this development. Thereby, the findings about organizational antecedents and architectural factors are relevant for the managerial implications in others SMEs facing the same context as Gefeba Elektro GmbH, which are willing to implement corporate entrepreneurship without knowing exactly how to do it. Indeed, the lack of resources of an SME could however allow developing organizational transformation through a sensitive equilibrium between the common values and beliefs for the control and the flexibility for the innovation. Moreover, another point highlighted in our findings is the crucial role of the individual in the implementation and development of corporate entrepreneurship.

Résumé :

Financialisation has been understood in varying ways from different disciplinary perspectives. Developing a political economy approach concerned with the geographical and institutional variegation of national capitalisms, this thesis aims to provide a more finely grained, geographically sensitive understanding of financialisation which more thoroughly appreciates the constitutive roles of space and place. Taking the dramatic reductions in the number of pubs in Britain and Germany as the entry point, the empirical focus seeks to explain the roles of financialisation in the pubs business at both national and sub-national scales. The changing role and closures of pubs will be utilised to explain how the processes of financialisation are reorienting economic interests, transforming corporate forms, enrolling an increasing number and widening set of actors into the global financial system, and impacting the experience of an economically and socially significant sector of the economy. The international comparison serves to explain how while the processes of financialisation maintain certain general characteristics they are unfolding in geographically differentiated and uneven ways shaped by the institutional configurations of variegations of capitalism. Whilst exhibiting core constituents and common underlying tendencies, it will be argued that the spatially and temporally variegated phenomena of financialisation is enacted, mediated and resisted by geographically grounded actors and institutions.

Résumé :

In Deutschland und den USA engagiert sich die unternehmerische Philanthropie zunehmend in der Allgemeinbildung, während der letzten Dekade vor allem in den „MINT“ und den „STEM“ Fächern. Hierzu gibt es bisher kaum systematische Studien. Diese vergleichende Arbeit untersucht, warum und wie sich Unternehmen in diesen Bereichen engagieren, und wie sich ihre Rolle in der Bildung verändert. Die Studie beruht auf einer historischen Analyse der Rolle von Unternehmen in der Bildung seit 1945 und auf Interviews mit Experten aus dem MINT- und STEM-Bereich. Die wichtigsten Befunde der Studie sind: (1) Zuvor überwiegend in der dualen Bildung aktiv, begannen deutsche Unternehmen in den frühen 2000er Jahren u.a. als Reaktion auf den PISA-Schock, sich philanthropisch in der allgemeinen Schulbildung zu engagieren. (2) Unternehmerische Philanthropie führten die MINT und STEM Bildungsbewegung an. Aufgrund ihrer etablierten, gut vernetzten und vielfach finanzkräftigeren Stiftungen gelang es US-amerikanischen Unternehmen besser als deutschen, das Thema ins öffentliche Bewusstsein zu rücken, Ressourcen zu erschließen und Änderungen in der Bildungspolitik zu erwirken. (3) Unternehmen und deren Stiftungen wurden in erster Linie durch Entwicklungen auf dem Arbeitsmarkt, langfristige ökonomische Überlegungen und die Notwendigkeit zur Innovation motiviert, sich zu engagieren; aufgrund unterschiedlicher demographischer Aspekte und Entwicklungen in der Bildung fanden sich Unterschiede zwischen den beiden Ländern. (4) In Deutschland und den USA agiert die unternehmerische Philanthropie zunehmend strategisch, d.h. sie handelt ergebnisorientiert und achtet auf Skalierbarkeit ihrer Aktivitäten. Dies hat das Engagement von Unternehmen in der Bildungspolitik verstärkt und die Anforderung der Wirtschaft in den Fokus gerückt. Manche US-amerikanische Unternehmen haben begonnen, Berufsbildungswege zu schaffen, was bisher nicht die Regel war.
Corporate philanthropy is active in K-12 education in Germany and the U.S. but there is minimal research about it. Over the last decade corporate philanthropic actors in both countries have become active in STEM* education (in Germany, MINT). This comparative study is about why and how they decided to invest in these initiatives and how that is tied to their traditional roles in education. It leans on the history of company involvement in education since 1945 and on interviews with experts active in the STEM and MINT education scenes. The main findings are: (1) As a result of the PISA shock and other factors, German companies that traditionally engaged only in vocational education have become active in general K-12 education. (2) Corporate philanthropy led the STEM and MINT education movements. However, U.S. companies and their foundations, with decades of philanthropic experiences and networks in education, were more successful in raising awareness, organizing resources, and achieving policy changes at the federal level. (3) Companies and their foundations were driven to invest in STEM and MINT education largely by workforce, long-term innovation, and economic concerns but there were key differences because of the differing demographic and education trends in the two countries. (4) In the U.S. and Germany, corporate philanthropy is attempting to be more strategic. This has resulted in a focus on outcome-based measurements and scalability but has also led to more investments in nonprofit and policy organizations instead of schools or their booster clubs. It has also resulted in corporate philanthropy better aligning with company competencies and needs, which made STEM and MINT ideal. In the case of the U.S., this has also resulted in some companies creating vocational programs, an area of education most companies avoided in the past. *STEM= Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math MINT= Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaften und Technik

Résumé :

The study programme of forest sciences was established at the University of Freiburg in 1920 - the main reason named for the choice of Freiburg was the diversity of forests around the city, which would serve for leaming in the forests as well as for research. These forests today mostly belong to the City of Freiburg and the State of Baden-Württemberg. The forests closest to the university may be accessed on foot, by bicycle or tram. The forests around Freiburg are suitable for leaming experiences in virtually all subjects of the forest related study programmes and have been extensively used all the time. Good relationships have been maintained between the staff of the forest management and the teaching personnel of the university. lt is concluded that for in-forest leaming it does not necessarily need university owned forests. Examples for personal experience of the author as student and as teacher are presented, including courses from the fields of forest utilization, forest work science and forest road construction as well as the ESPRO (First-Semester-Project).

Résumé :

Class of 2008 Abstract
Objectives: Continuing pharmacy education (CPE) programs are required for pharmacists to maintain licensure and necessary to maintain current clinical knowledge. This study attempts to compare the quality of CPE programs from industry sponsored versus non-industry sponsored sources. Methods: Three CE programs were analyzed by comparison to an established guideline source. Diabetes mellitus was selected as the disease state because there was a recently published and widely accepted guideline document available. Two CPE programs were industry sponsored and one was independent of industry. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) guideline document on the management of type 2 diabetes was used to develop a scoring tool. Each CPE program was evaluated for consistency with the ADA guideline, using the scoring tool. The results were analyzed using the Fisher’s exact test. Also, the number of times that a drug name was mentioned in each program was recorded. Results: There was some discordance between the content of the three CPE programs and the ADA guidelines, but no discernible pattern was seen. There was a statistically significant difference between the non-industry sponsored programs. There were some inconsistencies among the three programs relative to “mentions” of drug names, but again no consistent pattern. Conclusions: This work does not provide convincing evidence of bias among industry-sponsored CPE programs. In retrospect, the choice of the specific CPE programs may have been inappropriate considering the nature of the guideline document and the evaluation tool that was developed from it.

Texte intégral

Résumé :

This thesis examines the relationship between the bilateral real exchange rate and the trade balances of 20 industries in which majority of the trade between Turkey and her leading partner Germany is carried out, both for the short and long run, in search of the existence of any J-curve effect. Using quarterly data over the period 1989:1-2011:3, the relationship is analyzed empirically through the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error correction modeling. The findings show that, although the pattern created by a depreciation does not follow the compl ete J curve in any of the industries, still the exchange rate as well as foreign and domestic real incomes are effective determinants of bilateral trade balance between Turkey and Germany in majority of the cases both in the short and in the long run. Moreover, this thesis provides strong support for the assertion that at the disaggregate level industries exhibit unique and distinct trade balance responses to exchange rate fluctuations, by showing that these responses vary significantly across different sectors both in the short and long run.

Thesis (LLM)--Stellenbosch University, 2004
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis deals with the criminal liability of Internet providers. The focus is on Germany, but the analysis is put in a wider, comparative context. This is done with reference to South Africa, as well as Europe and the American system. This thesis demonstrates and discusses the existing legal norms to regulate Internet provider liability for illegal content on the Internet and the international efforts to deal with this issue. In the introduction it is shown how the Internet has given rise to a new form of global communication and the accompanying legal problems. This is followed by an examination of the different functions Internet providers have. A survey of some of the important crimes affecting the Internet and also some Internet-specific offences put the more general issue of liability in a more specific context. Traditional and new forms of crimes are discussed. This section is followed by an analysis of Internet provider liability under German criminal law and Germany's Teleservices Act. From an international criminal law perspective some international instruments, like the Cybercrime Convention of the Council of Europe, is discussed. National legislation, especially in the context of the European Union, must always be put in the proper regional and international context. The thesis concludes with some thoughts on alternative, or perhaps complementary, methods to fight illegal and criminal conduct on the Internet. This is done not as a critique of the responses to Internet crime, but rather to strengthen the many hands trying to reduce Internet crime.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis handeloor die strafregtelike aanspreekliheid van Internet diensverskaffers. Die fokus val op Duitsland, maar die analise word ook geplaas in 'n wyer, vergelykende konteks. Dit word gedoen met verwysing na Suid-Afrika, sowel as Europa en die VSA. Die tesis demonstreer en bespreek die bestaande regsnorme wat Internet diensverskaffers reguleer met spesifieke verwysing na aanspreeklikheid vir onwettige inhoud op die Internet en internasionale pogings om hierdie probleem aan te spreek. Ter inleiding word daar aangetoon hoe die Internet aanleiding gee tot nuwe vorme van globale kommunikasie en die regsprobleme wat dit tot gevolg het. Dit word gevolg deur 'n ondersoek na die verskillende funksies van Internet verskaffers. 'n Ontleding en bespreking van Internet-spesifieke misdrywe plaas die meer algemene vraagstuk in 'n meer gefokusde konteks. Tradisionele en nuwe vorme van misdaad word bespreek. Hierdie afdeling word gevolg deur 'n ontleding van Internet diensverskaffer aanspreeklikheid ingevolge Duitse reg en die Duitse wetgewing op die terrein van telediens. Uit 'n internasionale strafreg oogpunt word sekere internasionale instrumente, soos die Cybercrime Convention van die Raad van Europa, bespreek. Nasionale wetgewing, veral in die konteks van die Europese Unie, word ook in die relevante regionale en internasionale konteks geplaas. Die tesis word afgesluit met sekere gedagtes oor alternatiewe, of moontlik komplimentêre, metodes in die stryd teen Internet-kriminaliteit. Dit moet nie gesien word as kritiek op die huidige stand van sake nie, maar eerder as 'n poging om die talle rolspelers in die stryd teen Internet misdaad se hande te sterk.

Résumé :

This thesis begins with my own bicultural experiences in the context of adult education and language teaching and examines current issues in comparative adult education in light of the challenges imposed by increasing globalisation and lifelong learning. The first chapter ends with research questions about the validity of comparative adult education given that hitherto theoretical approaches have, it seems, ceased to be part of scholarly debates in adult continuing education. The following chapter proceeds to explore research methods appropriate to this study, which are based on approaches in phenomenology and constructivism, and which are explored further in chapter 8 in the context of comparative adult education. The study then seeks to challenge the appropriacy of comparing systems of adult education within the positivist paradigm which, it is argued, has stifled debates and not enabled alternative approaches to develop. Furthermore, it is argued that bounded concepts of nation states and national characteristics are no longer relevant in the context of a multicultural and multilingual Europe. Adult educators are increasingly engaged in intercultural activities by taking part in professional networks and EU-sponsored programmes, computer-mediated or not (discussed in chapter 5). These activities demand skills in cross- and intercultural communication and, in comparative terms, an understanding of different cultural communities. Chapter 6, therefore, looks at the role of language and interculturality which, it is argued, are fundamental to comparative adult education. Issues in relation to lifelong learning are explored further in the subsequent chapter with regard to Germany and Britain and the respective historical, structural and cultural contexts. Chapter 8 argues that comparative adult education can only be meaningful if new meaning and knowledge are constructed on the basis of intercultural communication and shared comparative reflection. This chapter also outlines a new theoretical framework, which, it is proposed, is appropriate to comparative adult education in its contemporary post- or late modem context. The questions raised in opening chapter are answered in the final chapter with the conclusion that there is, after all, validity in undertaking research in comparative adult education and that it is an exciting and stimulating field of study.
