Der Band ist ein unverzichtbares Referenzwerk für jeden, der sich fundiert mit der Thematik beschäftigt.

From antiquity and late antiquity to the Middle Ages and modern times, commentary on Aristotle's writings has been one of the fundamental forms of philosophical activity. This anthology uses selected examples to analyse and interpret key stages of the Greek commentary tradition on Aristotle's writings and their philosophical and cultural-historical significance. The authors analyse both the manuscripts and the transmission of individual writings as well as the reception and further development of Aristotle's philosophy. The core of the contributions collected here are based on the three-day international conference "Aristotle's Commentaries and their Transmission in Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance" (26-28 October 2017), which took place at the Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures at the University of Hamburg thanks to the support of the Karl and Gertrud Abel Foundation.

CONSTRUCTION MICROECONOMICSUnique and comprehensive reference describing microeconomic approaches, theories, and models adapted to and developed for the construction industryConstruction Microeconomics provides comprehensive coverage of microeconomics applied to the construction industry, focusing on construction clients, who initiate construction projects, and on contractors who transform the ideas and plans of clients into infrastructure and buildings. With the help of microeconomic theory, it tries to answer questions about decision-making by clients, contractors, and governments with respect to projects in the built environment. It includes discussions of alternative theories to mainstream microeconomics, such as new institutional economics, behavioral economics, and the capability approach. Applications from the construction sector including land supply, sustainability, industrialization, and lean construction are provided to ground the theory in practical construction.In Construction Microeconomics, readers will learn:* How microeconomic theory relies heavily on assumptions for modeling and the nuances of adjusting those assumptions* How heterogenous contract goods affect supply and demand, markets, information, technology, and accordingly, the theories of contractors and owners* How interaction influences the production process and how land as a production factor changes the production function* How ex-ante costs determine the cost theory of the contractor and why contracting is more akin to the service sector than the goods sectorAdvanced undergraduate and masters students, lecturers and academics in ­construction and related disciplines, and professionals in the construction industry looking for expert analysis into a unique facet of the field will find Construction Microeconomics to be a valuable, complete, and authoritative reference on the subject.

An essential guide to the structure, dynamics, and management of construction megaprojectsAdvanced Construction Project Management is a comprehensive resource that covers the myriad aspects of implementing a megaproject from a contractor's perspective. With many years' experience of managing construction megaprojects, the author provides an in-depth exploration of the structure, dynamics and management of these demanding projects. In addition, the book gives all stakeholders a clear understanding of the complexity of megaprojects and offers contractors the insight and essential tools needed for achieving results.As the trend to plan and implement ever-larger projects looks likely to continue into the future, the need for a guide to understand the challenges of managing a megaproject couldn't be greater. Comprehensive in scope, the book explores the theoretical background, economics, complexity, phases, strategic planning, engineering, coordination, and common challenges of megaprojects. The book also provides the tools for managing stakeholder integration. This important book:* Describes the structure, dynamics and management of megaprojects* Explores the management activities required and examines the appropriate tools for the management of megaprojects* Includes tools for stakeholder integration* Provides an advanced understanding of construction management conceptsWritten for managers, project managers and engineers, and cost consultants, Advanced Construction Project Management covers, in one complete volume, the information needed to lead a successful project.

Zentrale Themen dieses Buches sind der politische und der gesellschaftliche Kontext, die Auseinandersetzung mit dem führenden Politiker Kleon, das Zusammenspiel von Komödie und Tragödie, besonders das Verhältnis des Arstophanes zu Euripides sowie die Zusammenarbeit des Aristophanes mit den Regisseuren Kallistratos und Philonides. Das letztgenannte Thema wird hier enger mit der Frage nach dem politischen Impetus verzahnt und in größerem Zusammenhang behandelt. Vor dem Hintergrund der intensiven Debatte über die politische Dimension der Alten Komödie wird in dieser Arbeit die These vertreten, dass es Aristhophanes in seinen Komödien ganz wesentlich auch darum gegangen ist, an der Politik Athens durch Spott und Komik erstgemeinte Kritik zu üben und mit den Mitteln seiner Kunst auf die öffentliche Meinung einzuwirken.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Industrial Engineering and Management, grade: 1,7, Wilhelm Büchner Hochschule Private Fernhochschule Darmstadt (Fachbereich Ingenieurwissenschaften/Informatik/ Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen und Technologiemanagement), language: English, abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the application of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) in the growing industry of consumer electronics. The research intends to look for patterns in respect to the implementation of SSCM programs within selected consumer electronics focused businesses using a case study analysis. The aim of this paper is to investigate which concepts of implementation and design of SSCM are available in the consumer electronics industry and to analyze how they can be classified. The primary sources for the main analysis of this paper are the sustainability reports from the four companies: Dell, Philips, Samsung and Sony. These companies were selected based on their location, size and ranking within the industry and the method of selection is explained herein. Following a first look at the data, a process-oriented approach was chosen for the study, and a careful analysis leads to the formation of a model describing the process of achieving supply chain sustainability in the consumer electronics industry: The ¿Sustainability Achievement Process¿ comprises eight phases: (1) Acknowledgement, (2) Vision and Strategy, (3) Communication, (4) Assessment, (5) Goal Setting, (6) Goal Achievement, (7) Expanding the Reach and (8) Maintaining the Success. The model is refined and substantiated in the subsequent cross-case analysis by illustrating the distinctive features of each phase within each company. Furthermore, the author identifies indicators and keywords for every phase which permit the unambiguous association of statements to levels of sustainability achievement for easy classification. Critical cases are recognized, examined and solved during the research in order to provide a framework for a real world application. Overall, the derived model provides the foundation for the evaluation of a corporation¿s progress concerning different aspects of sustainability. The thesis concludes by proposing a series of approaches for future research to increase the verification of the model and advance it, potentially extending the applicability of the model to SSCM in general.
