Dieses Buch analysiert die aktuellen Trends und skizziert die Debatten, die derzeit in Wissenschaft und Praxis über den Stellenwert von Banknoten und Münzen in Deutschland geführt werden. Dazu beinhaltet der Sammelband zunächst eine Bestandsaufnahme zu den Einstellungen der Bevölkerung zum Bargeld, bevor dann detailliert auf Charakteristika einzelner Zahlungstransaktionen eingegangen wird. Während etwa in skandinavischen Ländern die Bedeutung von Bargeld immer mehr abnimmt, steht diese Entwicklung in Deutschland noch am Anfang. In diesem Buch wird untersucht, wie sich insbesondere digitale Bezahlformen künftig entwickeln werden und welche einzel- und gesamtwirtschaftlichen Chancen und Risiken dabei zu beachten sind. Der interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Sammelband behandelt dabei auch rechtliche Aspekte digitaler Bezahlformen. Aus dem Inhalt • Was denken die Deutschen über die Abschaffung des Bargelds? • Bargeldloses Zahlen - Digitalisierung als Triebfeder für Innovation • Bitcoins als Herausforderung in der Finanzsphäre • Steuerliche Aspekte der Bargeldbewirtschaftung • Rechtliche Aspekte digitaler Bezahlformen • Bargeld und Kriminalität • Erkenntnisse der Verhaltensforschung Die Herausgeber Prof. Dr. Jakob Lempp ist Professor an der Fakultät Gesellschaft und Ökonomie der Hochschule Rhein-Waal.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of volcanic crisis research, the goal being to establish ways of successfully applying volcanology in practice and to identify areas that need to be addressed for future progress. It shows how volcano crises are managed in practice, and helps to establish best practices. Consequently the book brings together authors from all over the globe who work with volcanoes, ranging from observatory volcanologists, disaster practitioners and government officials to NGO-based and government practitioners to address three key aspects of volcanic crises. First, the book explores the unique nature of volcanic hazards, which makes them a particularly challenging threat to forecast and manage, due in part to their varying spatial and temporal characteristics. Second, it presents lessons learned on how to best manage volcanic events based on a number of crises that have shaped our understanding of volcanic hazards and crises management. Third, it discusses the diverse and wide-ranging aspects of communication involved in crises, which merge old practices and new technologies to accommodate an increasingly challenging and globalised world. The information and insights presented here are essential to tapping established knowledge, moving towards more robust volcanic crises management, and understanding how the volcanic world is perceived from a range of standpoints and contexts around the globe

This open access book presents a picture of the current energy challenges on the African continent (and the Sub-Saharan region in particular) and proposes pathways to an accelerated energy transition. Starting with an analysis of the status quo and the outlook for Africa's energy demand and energy access, it provides an account of the available resources, including hydrocarbons and renewable energy resources, which are playing an increasingly crucial role. It then moves on to analyze the level of investment required to scale-up Africa's energy systems, shedding light on the key barriers and elaborating on potential solutions. It also provides a suggestion for improving the effectiveness of EU-Africa cooperation. While mainly intended for policymakers and academics, this book also speaks to a broader audience interested in gaining an overview of the challenges and opportunities of the African energy sector today and in the future

This book discusses the latest developments in the field of open data. The opening of data by public organizations has the potential to improve the public sector, inspire business innovation, and establish transparency. With this potential comes unique challenges; these developments impact the operation of governments as well as their relationship with private sector enterprises and society. Changes at the technical, organizational, managerial, and political level are taking place, which, in turn, impact policy-making and traditional institutional structures. This book contributes to the systematic analysis and publication of cutting-edge methods, tools, and approaches for more efficient data sharing policies, practices, and further research. Topics discussed include an introduction to open data, the open data landscape, the open data life cycle, open data policies, organizational issues, interoperability, infrastructure, business models, open data portal evaluation, and research directions, best practices, and guidelines. Written to address different perspectives, this book will be of equal interest to students and researchers, ICT industry staff, practitioners, policy makers and public servants

Die Vermarktung von Produkten und Dienstleistungen in der Tourismus- und Freizeitwirtschaft muss sich besonderen Herausforderungen stellen: Das Verhalten und die Einstellungen der Gäste unterliegen einem schnellen Wandel - online werden sie zu "Kooperationspartnern" der eigentlichen Anbieter.

Als Hilfestellung vermittelt die überarbeitete Neuauflage dieses Lehrbuchs die Grundlagen des Tourismus- und Freizeitmarketings. Es bietet entsprechende Best-Practice-Beispiele an. Die Struktur des Buchs entspricht dem Ablauf eines Marketing-Managementprozesses (Analyse, Ziele/Strategien, Gestaltung, Realisierung, Kontrolle). Jedes Kapitel wird durch Lernziele eingeleitet und am Kapitelende festigen Kernaussagen sowie Wiederholungsfragen das Verständnis. Das Buch richtet sich an Studierende der Tourismus- und Betriebswirtschaft sowie Geographie. Es ist zudem für Marketingpraktiker eine aufschlussreiche Lektüre. (Verlagstext)

Das Buch stellt kreative, lösungsorientierte, effektive und effiziente Projekte aus dem Qualitäts- und Risikomanagement der prähospitalen Notfallmedizin vor. Die inhaltliche Spannbreite reicht von Dienstleistungsrealisierung über Risikominimierung, Effizienzsteigerung und dem Personalmanagement bis hin zu gesellschaftspolitischen Projekten. Maßnahmen zur kontinuierlichen Qualitätsverbesserung sowie die Notwendigkeit, aus "Fehlern zu lernen", prägen die Sicherheitskultur von Führungskräften und Mitarbeitern. Engagierte Mitarbeiter forcieren innovative Projekte, vertreten visionäre Ansätze, beschreiten neue Wege und Strategien. Solcherart lokal effektive Projekte werden jedoch kaum überregional vorgestellt, womit deren Innovations- und Lernpotential für andere meist unbemerkt bleibt. Sich den Herausforderungen der Zukunft zu stellen heißt diese zu benennen, aber auch, gemeinsam zu handeln. Das Buch eröffnet den Diskurs zur Darstellung praxiserprobter und evaluierter Projekte im Rettungs- und Notarztwesen.

'This wide ranging and comprehensive volume for the first time situates the growing complexities of European gambling in their wider socio-economic context. Highly readable and engaging, the chapters explore important issues such as welfare and justice, ethics and competition, and the role of law and the state. In doing so, the volume tackles the political and regulatory patchwork that characterises gambling provision across Europe, as well as suggesting some innovative ways of thinking about its future.' Gerda Reith, University of Glasgow, UK 'This volume goes beyond the often limited focus in gambling studies and gambling policies on legal arguments and cost-benefit analyses of national gambling markets, by revealing and analyzing the very diverse, highly controversial and complex contradictory relationships between gambling markets, public interests and the EU context.' Sytze F. Kingma, VUniversity Amsterdam, Netherlands This edited book draws on a cross-cultural and historical lens to theoretically and practically analyse gambling regulations and the use of gambling revenue. It takes on a broad spectrum of perspectives, from the origin of the money, to the regulators, operators and beneficiaries of gambling, and looks at the interests, networks and power relations involved. This multidisciplinary collection elicits a shift in analysis, shedding light on a broader societal, historical and economic view of gambling and gambling policies, by its attention to implicit networks of power, influential legislation, gambling provision and infrastructure. Gambling Policies in European Welfare States will be of interest to students and scholars alike who are seeking cross-national and interdisciplinary analyses of welfare, politics, sociology and economics
