Using the life stories of women entre-employees, this useful addition to the entrepreneurship field will appeal to entrepreneurship scholars as well as those interested in topics related to leadership and gender at work.

The textbook contains a comprehensive presentation of tools that can be used to systematically generate innovative ideas for new business growth ("opportunities"). In practice, it can be observed that companies make considerable efforts to identify ideas for innovations that can decisively shape their industry. The reason for this is not least the knowledge that a missed wave of innovation can lead to major problems for the entire company. A central finding of business management research is that ideas for generating future growth opportunities are often not a product of chance, but the results of systematic analyses. The authors provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the most important tools for identifying new growth opportunities. They distinguish between company-related, market-related and environment-related approaches, incorporate numerous practical examples and provide application-oriented assistance with these tools. The second edition of the book incorporates the latest research findings, some examples have been updated and supplemented, and the book has been expanded to include practical application tasks for teaching and practical workshops.

This book provides a theoretical framework for design researchers interested in developing their research work about and with prototypes. It describes prototypes' multiple definitions and possible functions in the multifaceted landscape of today's design research. Indeed, while the manufacturing and digital evolutions enable and require new types of advanced prototypes, the design evolution as an academic discipline continuously widens its perspectives, fields, and research methods, among which are the prototypes' applications, features, and purposes. The framework originates from an interpretation of these interrelated phenomena and a collection of case studies. Additionally, it defines those criteria that characterize the relation between the research (context, discipline, and general scope) and the prototype (nature and specific aims) and, altogether, it presents an overview of prototypes' roles in design research.

Spätestens nachdem die Begriffe Digitalisierung / industrielle Revolution 4.0 zu geflügelten Wörtern in der Industrie geworden sind, entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle im Zusammenhang mit der Erhebung und Verarbeitung von Daten und im Umgang mit Neuen Medien. Allerdings werden hierbei oftmals die damit einhergehenden Risiken unterschätzt oder sogar gänzlich übersehen. So ist beispielsweise bisher den wenigsten Verantwortlichen in Unternehmen bewusst, dass mit einer erhöhten Datenkenntnis auch eine erhöhte Produktverantwortlichkeit einhergeht. Schließlich ist es dem Hersteller nunmehr möglich, ständig zu wissen, in welchem (potentiell sicherheitskritischen) Zustand sich sein Produkt beim Verwender befindet. Dabei können Verstöße gegen die Produktbeobachtungspflicht zu empfindlichen Schadensersatzansprüchen und zwanglos auch zu kostenintensiven Rückrufen führen. Neben der erhöhten Datenkenntnis ergeben sich im Zusammenspiel zwischen Digitalisierung und der Produktbeobachtungspflicht weitereHerausforderungen für die Industrie: Beispielsweise die Haftung für fehlerhafte (Fremd-) Software durch IT-Security-Lücken, die sich erst während des Produktlebenszyklus¿ ergeben oder ersichtlich werden sowie der Umgang mit Informationen in Social Media oder die durch Influencer-Marketing generiert werden (bspw. wird eine gefährliche Anwendungsmethode des eigenen Produkts durch Foren-Verwender erklärt). ZG: Verantwortliche in produzierenden Unternehmen und Handelsunternehmen aus einer Vielzahl an Branchen, wie den Mitgliedern der Rechtsabteilung, des Ein- und Verkaufs und auch der Marketingabteilung. Ferner wird das Projekt auch für Rechtsanwälte mit Bezug zum Produktsicherheits- und Produkthaftungsrecht sowie für Ingenieure bzw. Produktentwickler und -verantwortliche spannend sein.

Wang offers an empirically based exploration into work-integration social enterprises as a means for delivering social services in China.Focusing on the political economy of social enterprise development in China, Wang examines the nature of the relationship between the state and social enterprises and the implications of such relationships for their institutional effectiveness. She adopts a bottom-up approach that investigates indigenous practices embedded within the local political context. Common ground has been established internationally that the social enterprise model provides new ways of social service delivery that could potentially change and restructure the social welfare economy. However, the development path differs across social contexts, especially in an authoritarian country like China. This study provides insights into China's efforts to develop its social welfare sector and reinvigorate customary ideas about how public services could be better offered given the country's political economy.This book will be of great interest to both scholars of China's political economy and those with an interest in the development of the social enterprise sector looking to see how this works in a Chinese context.
