Hazardous substances
(2020)
This title presents a detailed overview on the full range of hazard categories and the associated risks of chemicals. It provides a basic introduction into toxicology, ecotoxicology and environmental behavior and enables all who perform precise chemical analysis to handle substances according to their intrinsic properties such as physical-chemical, environmental, ecological and toxicological hazards.
This research case study presents a novel way to study the development and growth of a multi-sided disruptive platform built on digital technologies. The corresponding business model unfolds industry-changing dynamics eventually changing competition logic in established markets. Despite the appeal of those models, developing and managing such a multi-sided disruptive platform is challenging because multiple platform sides need to be strategically aligned to develop along a disruptive path. Hence, scholars and practitioners are increasingly debating about the dynamics arising in the development and growth of such platforms. The focal case study discusses a research project which contributes to those debates:
This case study discusses how we used topic modeling and qualitative content analysis to make sense of a large amount of historical data from and about multiple platform sides to understand the strategic management and alignment mechanisms that unfolded over time. We discuss how we studied an entrant that was spun off from an established catalog retailer and is steering a multi-sided disruptive platform in the German fashion retail industry. We present how we faced the challenges of collecting data from multiple platform sides and how we used topic modeling to overcome data asphyxiation (i.e. difficulties in making sense of an overwhelming amount of qualitative data). Readers of this case study are equipped with practical insights about a) studying the development of multi-sided platforms over time, and b) using topic modeling and qualitative content analysis as complementing methodological approaches.
This working paper addresses the effectiveness of compliance management systems (CMS). The objective is to answer the question whether CMS are effective, and to consider the limits of compliance. For this purpose, the highly legalistic topic is considered in the context of business ethics and behavioural economic foundations. The review of effectiveness is based on the seven basic components set out in the Assurance Standard of the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland e. V. [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany, Incorporated Association] (IDW AssS 980).
To answer this question, reference is made to the three levels of business ethics and to selected behavioural economics concepts. For example, performance pressure, peer pressure and variable compensation schemes encourage opportunistic behaviour. It is argued that corporate compliance depends significantly on the behaviour of single individuals and their environment. Especially in the context of economic activity and competition, compliance cannot be equated to morality and ethics, or be expected as a matter of course. On the whole, the interdisciplinary consideration of corporate compliance demonstrates a natural limit whenever ethical and moral standards are contrary to economic interests.
A comprehensive tutorial on photovoltaic technology now fully updated to include solar storage and the latest methods for on-site plant measurements.
Starting with the basic principles of solar energy, this fully updated, practical text explains the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and the structure and functioning of the solar cell. It describes the latest measurement techniques for solar modules, and the planning and operation of grid-connected and off-grid PV systems.
It also looks at other thin film cells, hybrid wafer cells, and concentrator systems. Additionally, this Second Edition covers solar modules and solar generators; system technology of grid connected plants; the storage of solar energy; photovoltaic measurement technology; the planning and operation of grid-connected systems; economic efficiency of PV systems; and the future development of PV.
- Presents the latest advances in PV R&D and industry deployment
- Updated illustrations and tabular data reflect current state-of-the-art and PV technology efficiencies
- Offers expanded tutorial sections to aid teaching and self-study
- Includes a brand-new chapter on Solar Energy Storage
- Features two enlarged chapters—one on up-to-date photovoltaic metrology and the other on the future developments in photovoltaics
- Comes along with the accompanying website www.textbook-pv.org which offers free downloadable figures of the book, solutions of exercises, additional free PV software etc.
Developed to prepare engineering students for the PV industry, this practical text is an essential PV primer.
Developing Engaged and Entrepreneurial Universities - Theories, Concepts and Empirical Findings
(2019)
Due to a nonuniform and sometimes unsteady energy yield, a large scale renewable energy supply requires a broadening of centralized and decentralized energy storage systems. On this background, there are high expectations on batteries with regard to various energy storage systems in the near future. In engineering studies, batteries are usually regarded as a black box. However, this point of view is not sufficient and reasonable for the energy storage demands of the near future. Therefore, it is necessary to intensify the knowledge about the advantages and limitations of batteries in engineering lectures – but also in lectures for students of physics or chemistry.
The book is written for graduate students from the engineering disciplines, in particular for graduate students of electrical engineering. It should be also of interest for graduate students of physics, chemistry and even industrial engineering. It is not intended to provide a specialized book for distinguished researchers or experts in electrochemistry and/or highly sophisticated battery technology.
In particular, the book provides a presentation of the physical basics and principles of electrochemical energy storage. It gives an overview and explanation of the functionality of historical batteries. The electrochemical reaction mechanisms in important primary and secondary batteries are discussed in detail. Moreover, the availability of the relevant raw materials for a growing battery market is emphasized.
The book is destined for background reading in corresponding university lectures and useful for self-study, too.
Consumption Corridors: Living a Good Life within Sustainable Limits
explores how to enhance peoples’ chances to live a good life in a world of ecological and social limits.
Rejecting familiar recitations of problems of ecological decline
and planetary boundaries, this compact book instead offers a spirited explication of what everyone desires: a good life. Fundamental
concepts of the good life are explained and explored, as are forces
that threaten the good life for all. The remedy, says the book’s seven
international authors, lies with the concept of consumption corridors, enabled by mechanisms of citizen engagement and deliberative
democracy.
Across fve concise chapters, readers are invited into conversation about how wellbeing can be enriched by social change that joins
“needs satisfaction” with consumerist restraint, social justice, and
environmental sustainability. In this endeavour, lower limits of consumption that ensure minimal needs satisfaction for all are important, and enjoy ample precedent. But upper limits to consumption,
argue the authors, are equally essential, and attainable, especially in those domains where limits enhance rather than undermine essential
freedoms.
