The objective of this paper is to identify those areas of consumption, in which private households can make significant contributions to environmental sustainability, and to present a transparent and comprehensive set of indicators for them. The analysis of the environmental impacts of households focuses on consumption clusters that permit to depict different life spheres of private households. Two criteria guided the investigation of the relevance of these clusters: · The significance of the consumption cluster, and · The potential influence of households. Resource consumption was chosen as simplified, but reliable representation of environmental pressure dynamics. Growing resource consumption goes together with growing environmental pressures and vice versa, although not necessarily proportionally. The key resources analysed are energy and material consumption, and land use. Based on this analysis, three priority fields for action by households were identified: construction and housing, food/nutrition and transport (in this order). All other consumption clusters can be considered environmentally marginal, providing combined saving potentials of less than 10% of the total resource consumption. Finally, from description of the respective roles of actors based on anecdotal evidence a semi-quantitative "actor matrix" is presented indicating the relative influence of different actors per consumption cluster.

Die hier prämierten "Top Ten" zeichnen sich in besonderer Weise durch ihren Praxis-, Wissenschafts- und Anwendungsbezug aus und werden deshalb bezug geehrt.
The influence of globalization on the sustainability of consumption is a frequent topic in academic and political debates. Despite this, the scientific understanding of this influence and, even more so, of the consequences for governance strategies in pursuit of sustainable consumption are still weak. In this paper, we therefore inquire into the specific channels of the influence of globalization on the sustainability of consumption. Based on our analysis, we develop guidelines for sustainable consumption governance.
The former bull market has led to developments in the online brokerage industry such as over-capacity, profit-margin pressure, high fixed costs and unprofitable country expansion in the current bear market environment. In order to manage this situation, tactical measures like cost containment programs and closing of international brokerages have been applied. More strategic approaches like order flow consolidation by brokerage franchises, integrated online & branch brokerages and multinational electronic brokerages are valid alternative responses to these developments. This article outlines the Multi-National Electronic Brokerage approach from a strategic, functional, operational and technical perspective.
This article analyses the impacts on the brokerage business of existing market trends. It is here argued that the current situation shows the potential for insourcing offerings in the order routing.
Multi-National and Multi-Entity capable Securities Order Management System for Electronic Brokerages
(2004)
The current bear market has forced electronic brokerages to compensate the transaction-driven fixed cost degression effect of bull markets by cost containment programs, while maintaining their position in the expanded markets. Orderflow consolidation will be the key principle to obtain the critical mass for this business. Options for the consolidation of the order flow can be the consolidation across internal entities / countries of the group and the acquisition of external order volumes e.g. via brokerage franchises. The current system landscape is not designed to support multi-national and multi-entity order flow consolidation. Fragmented, redundant, legacy-based and proprietary securities order management systems have been utilized to ensure market readiness in the former bull market. This article outlines the requirements and architecture for securities order management systems which enable the efficient orderflow consolidation across entities and countries in the brokerage industry.
