Mit Hilfe dieses Buches verschaffen sich Angehörige der Heilberufe (Ärzte, Heilpraktiker, Pflegekräfte, Krankenhausmitarbeiter usw.) schnell das betriebswirtschaftliche Hintergrundwissen, das für die Ausübung ihrer Berufe erforderlich ist. Eine zusammenfassende Betriebswirtschaftslehre für das Gesundheitswesen existiert bislang noch nicht. Aufgrund der steigenden Probleme, der zahlreichen Reformversuche und der demografischen Entwicklung wird sie jedoch über die nächsten Jahre hinaus an Bedeutung gewinnen. Andreas Frodl versteht es aufgrund seiner umfangreichen Erfahrung, Medizinern die für sie eher fremde Ökonomie erfolgreich nahezubringen. Auf den Gesundheitsmarkt bezogen, macht er die wesentlichen betriebswirtschaftlichen Teildisziplinen (Management, Finanzwesen, Marketing, Personalwesen, Organisation, Logistik, Rechnungswesen) verständlich. Neben aktualisierten Inhalten gibt die Neu-auflage der Gesundheitsbetriebslehre auch so gut wie möglich einen Überblick über den Stand vonLehre und Forschung der Betriebswirtschaft im Gesundheitswesen wieder.Die dritte Auflage wurde umfassend aktualisiert und um einige Abschnitte zu den Themen Compliance, kritische Infrastruktur und Nachhaltigkeit ergänzt. Der AutorDipl.-Kfm. Dr. rer. pol. Andreas Frodl, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Autor zahlreicher Fachbücher für das Management von Gesundheitsbetrieben, Führungsfunktionen in Verwaltung, Logistik, Organisation und Weiterbildung verschiedener öffentlicher Einrichtungen, langjähriger Lehrbeauftragter an der FH München und der Hamburger Fern-Hochschule, Mitglied der Prüfungskommission der Bundeswirtschaftsprüferkammer.

Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist im internationalen Vergleich das Land mit den meisten Mitbestimmungsgesetzen. Nirgendwo sonst sind die Rechte der Arbeitnehmer so weitgehend geregelt wie hier. Und das bereits seit über 100 Jahren! Im Mittelpunkt dieser Mitbestimmung stehen die Mitwirkungs-und Mitbestimmungsrechte der Betriebsräte in sozialen, personellen und wirtschaftlichen Angelegenheiten. Von einer partnerschaftlichen und qualifizierten Zusammenarbeit von Arbeitgeber und Betriebsrat hängt der wirtschaftliche Erfolg eines Unternehmens in hohem Maße ab. Für den Wirtschaftsstandort Deutschland ist daher eine funktionierende Betriebspartnerschaft ein Kernelement der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. In der Schrift ¿Betriebsräte in Deutschland¿ sollen der Begriff der Mitbestimmung erläutert werden und die rechtliche und politische Entwicklung der Arbeitnehmervertretung Betriebsrat vom Arbeiterausschuss vor über 100 Jahren bis zum Mitgestalter des heutigen und künftigen Arbeitslebens. Im Mittelpunkt der Abhandlung steht die Entwicklung des Betriebsratsamtes und seine heutigen Mitwirkungs-und Mitbestimmungsrechte im Betrieb und Unternehmen. Dazu gehören ebenso die Verquickung von betrieblicher Mitbestimmung und Unternehmenspolitik durch Betriebsräte in den Aufsichtsräten der Kapitalgesellschaften und im Europäischen Betriebsrat Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt des Buches sind die Perspektiven der betrieblichen Mitbestimmung und die damit verbundenen Anforderungen an die Betriebsratsarbeit in der digitalen Arbeitswelt. Der Betriebsrat ist ¿Sprachrohr¿ der Arbeitnehmer und gleichzeitig Mittler zwischen Arbeitgebern und Arbeitnehmern. Er ist Meinungsbildner im täglichen Arbeitsablauf im Betrieb. Somit ist er interessant für betriebsexterne Gruppen wie zum Beispiel Gewerkschaften und politische Parteien, um Werbung für ihre Politik zu betreiben. Betriebsräte als Multiplikatoren politischer Meinungen sind daher ebenso ein Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung. Beschrieben werden zu dem der ¿typische¿ Betriebsrat. Die Kosten der Anwendung des Betriebsverfassungsgesetzes und der Betriebsrat im Spiegel empirischer Untersuchungen sind weitere ergänzende Themen. Eine Erkenntnis aus der Entwicklung des Betriebsrats als volkswirtschaftlicher Produktionsfaktor ist, dass es bei der Diskussion um die betriebliche Mitbestimmung nicht mehr um das ¿Ob¿, sondern um das ¿Wie¿ in der Zusammenarbeit von Arbeitgeber und Betriebsrat handelt.

It is not sufficient to speak of violence alone: sexual violence, racial violence, the violence of exploitation. In capitalism - Maurizio Lazzarato writes - production, whether material or immaterial, affective or desiring, always presupposes the extra-economic, extra-affective, extra-cognitive production of social classes. For production, there must be class; and to produce class, there must be a war of subjugation. For a long time, war no longer seemed to be part of political debates - it seemed merely a phenomenon from the past or the fate of distant countries on the planet. In his essay War and Violence post-operaist philosopher Maurizio Lazzarato talks about the permanent continuity of warlike violence, its relation to the beginning of capitalist cycles of accumulation, and the production of subjectivity.

The Instant New York Times Bestseller“Engaging and entertaining… a glimpse of the economy of the future.” —Tim Wu, New York Times Book ReviewFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Signal and the Noise, the definitive guide to our era of risk—and the players raising the stakes   In the bestselling The Signal and the Noise, Nate Silver showed how forecasting would define the age of Big Data. Now, in this timely and riveting new book, Silver investigates “the River,” the community of like-minded people whose mastery of risk allows them to shape—and dominate—so much of modern life. These professional risk-takers—poker players and hedge fund managers, crypto true believers and blue-chip art collectors—can teach us much about navigating the uncertainty of the twenty-first century. By immersing himself in the worlds of Doyle Brunson, Peter Thiel, Sam Bankman-Fried, Sam Altman, and many others, Silver offers insight into a range of issues that affect us all, from the frontiers of finance to the future of AI. Most of us don’t have traits commonly found in the River: high tolerance for risk, appreciation of uncertainty, affinity for numbers—paired with an instinctive distrust of conventional wisdom and a competitive drive so intense it can border on irrational. For those in the River, complexity is baked in, and the work is how to navigate it. People in the River have increasing amounts of wealth and power in our society, and understanding their mindset—and the flaws in their thinking— is key to understanding what drives technology and the global economy today. Taking us behind the scenes from casinos to venture capital firms, and from the FTX inner sanctum to meetings of the effective altruism movement, On the Edge is a deeply reported, all-access journey into a hidden world of power bro­kers and risk-takers.

This book comprehensively investigates the position of Chinäs working class between the 1980s and 2010s and considers the consequences of economic reforms in historical perspective. It argues the case that, far from the illusion during the Maoist period that a new society had been established where the working classes held greater political and economic autonomy, economic reforms in the post-Mao era have led to the return of traditional Marxist proletariats in China. The book demonstrates how the reforms of Deng Xiaoping have led to increased economic efficiency at the expense of economic equality through an extensive case study of an SOE (state-owned enterprise) in Sichuan Province as well as wider discussions of the emergence of state capitalism on both a micro and macroeconomic level. The book also discusses workers¿ protests during these periods of economic reform to reflect the reformation of class consciousness in post-Mao China, drawing on Marx¿s concept of a transition from äclass-in-itself' to a ¿class-for-itself¿. It will be valuable reading for students and scholars of Chinese economic and social history, as well as political economy, sociology, and politics.

The recent unprecedented economic downturn and global supply chain disruption by the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the urgency for sustainable financing infrastructure that is agile, adaptable, and transformable. Sustainability and the 4th Industrial Revolution are about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policymakers and people from all income groups and nations, to navigate industry disruptions and transitioning to a new normal by harnessing converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centered future. The edited volume provides critical discussions on reframing the Islamic finance approach to sustainability and socio-economic development in the post-pandemic era. It highlights how selected Islamic finance tools alongside FinTech can not only ensure financial sustainability but also promote socio-economic policies that will aid the much-desired value and impact creation in the economy. The book focuses its analysis on the following three areas: reframing Islamic finance sustainability and socio-economic development; innovative Islamic financial tools for sustainable and socio-economic impact; and the role of FinTech in the road to sustainability. The edited volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students of Islamic finance, sustainability, and financial technology.

This book addresses labour market participation issues of youth in India, and follows an inter-disciplinary approach. It carries out both quantitative and qualitative assessments for an in-depth understanding of these issues. It collates a wide range of concerns both from supply and demand side, and instead of reflecting on the empirical questions only, the book reflects on various analytical questions as well. Some other challenges being discussed here are inadequacy of skill and compulsion to participate in the labour market, concentration in activities with excess supplies of labour, unrecognised work experience, lack of upward mobility, and working with information asymmetry. Caste and gender disadvantages are an instrumental part of the book. Problems of educated and uneducated youth are quite different and the book analyses them separately. Besides, it refers to a wide range of issues relating to occupational flexibility. It also discusses skill imparting institutions and themajor lacuna associated with their functioning. Social unrest and threats to the prospects of future growth in the absence of adequate youth employment are some of the economic and political issues which the book covers. Unraveling the threads of the concerns mentioned above, the book finally comes up with policy suggestions. It is a great resource for researchers, industry watchers, and policy makers who are interested in inclusive and sustainable growth.

This book aims to investigate the global value chain (GVC) from a viewpoint of industrial development and examine how GVC participation, upgrading, and connectivity have affected structural transformation in developing economies. It first reviews the indexes to measure progresses in GVC participation and upgrading. Then it examines factors affecting these progresses, using original measures of connectivity, which are computed based on the complex network theory. Another distinguished feature of the study is its in-depth analyses on the relationship between economic development and GVC participation based on the hypothesis of nonlinear relationship which is drawn from authors past studies on Asian economies. Major findings include (1) inverted-U shaped relationship between backward participation and income levels, (2) U shaped relationship between forward participation and income level, (3) marginal but significant impacts of maritime and aviation connectivity on GVC participation, (4) significant and different roles of basic and advanced education on the upgrading in GVCs, and (5) the importance of technological intensities in export in sustaining economic growth.

This book focuses on several specific features characterizing Chinäs economy in the Mao era (1952¿1976), and discusses whether and how they are related to the new economic strategy called ¿reforms and opening-up¿ under Deng Xiaoping¿s leadership with the result of the aftermath of well-known rapid growth. It provides the reader with basic knowledge of the continuity and discontinuity between the Mao and Deng eras. Readers are provided with some important clues for thinking about how Maoist China could have contributed to or alternatively prevented today¿s economic development. The topics addressed here include a brief overview of economic development under Mao, significant differences between Mao and Deng economics, and socialist transformations during the early Mao era. These include collectivization as well as communization and the effects on agricultural productivity; water supply construction drives utilizing a vast amount of rural surplus labor; rural finance; the effects on national savings, and the development of heavy and light industry. Also considered are the effects on the socialist industrialization, rural small-scale industries during the Cultural Revolution and their aftermath, and the realities of social life in a Third-front construction site promoted by Mao¿s military strategy in the 1960s. This book is highly recommended to readers who are interested in contemporary Chinäs economy, particularly to scholars and students. The volume gives new insight into the background or preconditions that made possible historically rare miracles of the Chinese economy after Mao.

It demonstrates various empirical approaches and methodologies for public utility analysis through 17 chapters by experts in each field, which contributes to further cultivation of empirical studies in public utilities.
