Employee Stock Option Plans (ESOPs) is the buzz word in the corporate world today. In a growing enterprise, the management not only wants to retain its entire working team but also desires that the members be suitably rewarded for their efforts. Thus, in addition to salaries, employees are offered ESOPs at a discounted price (generally lower than market price) for a specified period of time. Employee enthusiasm, contentment, and performance are influenced by the compensation practices (Kerr and Slocum, 1987). The compensation policy is in turn influenced by cultural aspects (Tosi, Henry L. and Greckhamer, Thomas, 2004). Culture has become an important thing in guiding different aspects of organizational behavior (Laurent, 1986). In this work the researcher is not focusing on cross-national disparities but focused on the cultural values within one society and their impact for compensation schemes. More specifically, it has been intended to scrutinize likely associations between preferred compensation policy ESOPs and cultural dimensions. The present study attempts to take a step forward in identifying and analyzing the impact of culture on employee stock options in Indian context.

Many companies fail to acknowledge and analyze disparities observed among customers and simply put them down to culture or emotion. New neuroendocrinological research proves that people are rational: They just have a different biological perception of the same stimulus. Their preferences, behavior, and decisions are strongly influenced by the hundreds of millions of sensors monitoring their body and brain. People with more taste buds are, for example, sensitive to bitterness and are more likely to drink their coffee with sugar or milk, or to drink tea.This book helps product managers, marketers, and corporate decision-makers understand and predict customers¿ behavior and preferences. It provides the tools to design the right sensory mix (color, shape, depth, taste, smell, texture, and sound) for each product, and fine-tune their positioning and range for every local market. Using cases from different sectors, the author shows that this approach delivers planet and people-friendly innovations which have a higher chance of success in the market.

The textbook contains a comprehensive presentation of tools that can be used to systematically generate innovative ideas for new business growth ("opportunities"). In practice, it can be observed that companies make considerable efforts to identify ideas for innovations that can decisively shape their industry. The reason for this is not least the knowledge that a missed wave of innovation can lead to major problems for the entire company. A central finding of business management research is that ideas for generating future growth opportunities are often not a product of chance, but the results of systematic analyses. The authors provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the most important tools for identifying new growth opportunities. They distinguish between company-related, market-related and environment-related approaches, incorporate numerous practical examples and provide application-oriented assistance with these tools. The second edition of the book incorporates the latest research findings, some examples have been updated and supplemented, and the book has been expanded to include practical application tasks for teaching and practical workshops.

This book provides a theoretical framework for design researchers interested in developing their research work about and with prototypes. It describes prototypes' multiple definitions and possible functions in the multifaceted landscape of today's design research. Indeed, while the manufacturing and digital evolutions enable and require new types of advanced prototypes, the design evolution as an academic discipline continuously widens its perspectives, fields, and research methods, among which are the prototypes' applications, features, and purposes. The framework originates from an interpretation of these interrelated phenomena and a collection of case studies. Additionally, it defines those criteria that characterize the relation between the research (context, discipline, and general scope) and the prototype (nature and specific aims) and, altogether, it presents an overview of prototypes' roles in design research.

Spätestens nachdem die Begriffe Digitalisierung / industrielle Revolution 4.0 zu geflügelten Wörtern in der Industrie geworden sind, entstehen neue Geschäftsmodelle im Zusammenhang mit der Erhebung und Verarbeitung von Daten und im Umgang mit Neuen Medien. Allerdings werden hierbei oftmals die damit einhergehenden Risiken unterschätzt oder sogar gänzlich übersehen. So ist beispielsweise bisher den wenigsten Verantwortlichen in Unternehmen bewusst, dass mit einer erhöhten Datenkenntnis auch eine erhöhte Produktverantwortlichkeit einhergeht. Schließlich ist es dem Hersteller nunmehr möglich, ständig zu wissen, in welchem (potentiell sicherheitskritischen) Zustand sich sein Produkt beim Verwender befindet. Dabei können Verstöße gegen die Produktbeobachtungspflicht zu empfindlichen Schadensersatzansprüchen und zwanglos auch zu kostenintensiven Rückrufen führen. Neben der erhöhten Datenkenntnis ergeben sich im Zusammenspiel zwischen Digitalisierung und der Produktbeobachtungspflicht weitereHerausforderungen für die Industrie: Beispielsweise die Haftung für fehlerhafte (Fremd-) Software durch IT-Security-Lücken, die sich erst während des Produktlebenszyklus¿ ergeben oder ersichtlich werden sowie der Umgang mit Informationen in Social Media oder die durch Influencer-Marketing generiert werden (bspw. wird eine gefährliche Anwendungsmethode des eigenen Produkts durch Foren-Verwender erklärt). ZG: Verantwortliche in produzierenden Unternehmen und Handelsunternehmen aus einer Vielzahl an Branchen, wie den Mitgliedern der Rechtsabteilung, des Ein- und Verkaufs und auch der Marketingabteilung. Ferner wird das Projekt auch für Rechtsanwälte mit Bezug zum Produktsicherheits- und Produkthaftungsrecht sowie für Ingenieure bzw. Produktentwickler und -verantwortliche spannend sein.

Manuel Skrzypczak untersucht im Rahmen zweier empirischer Studien, wie sich eine variierende Produktinnovativität auf die Produktevaluation auswirkt. Eine erste Studie geht mittels zweier Experimente der Frage nach, welche Qualitätsinformationen bei der Evaluation kontinuierlicher Innovationen die Qualitätsbeurteilung und Kaufintention dominieren. Eine zweite Studie untersucht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung emotionaler und kognitiver Informationsverarbeitungsprozesse mittels eines deduktiven Textanalyseverfahrens anhand von online Produktrezensionen, wie sich der Qualitätsbeurteilungsprozess zwischen diskontinuierlichen und kontinuierlichen Innovationen unterscheidet. Beide Studien liefern Implikationen für Praktiker und Forscher, indem die relative Wirkung und Verarbeitung von Qualitätsinformationen innerhalb des Produktevaluationsprozesses in Abhängigkeit der Produktinnovativität evaluiert wird.

Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit zwei übergeordneten Fragestellungen: Inwiefern bestehen kooperative Beziehungen zwischen Filmtheaterbetreibern und Filmverleihunternehmen, mit dem Ziel, den gemeinsam bearbeiteten Markt effizient und effektiv zu bearbeiten, um dadurch dem aktuellen negativen Besuchertrend entgegenzuwirken? Unter Erweiterung der aktuellen Erfolgsfaktorenforschung im Kinofilmbereich, in welchen Bereichen bedarf es einer tiefergehenden interorganisationalen Zusammenarbeit und in welchen Bereichen einer arbeitsteiligen und somit autonomen Entscheidungsfindung, um eine friktionslose Marktbearbeitung aller Teilnehmer zu gewährleisten? Der Autor zeigt, dass an dieser Stelle der Wertschöpfungskette, an welcher die Filmtheater und die Filmverleihunternehmen durch die Komplementarität ihrer Ressourcen sowohl untereinander als auch voneinander profitieren würden, keine hinreichenden Kooperationen bestehen, die einer rückläufigen Profitabilität der individuellen Kinoauswertung entgegenwirken. Ein isoliertes Agieren beider Marktteilnehmer dient kurzfristig der individuellen Nutzenmaximierung, langfristig jedoch werden die bestehenden Tendenzen weiter verstärkt und somit der Trend eines schwächer werdenden Marktes beschleunigt. Durch kooperative Wettbewerbsbeziehungen können auf beiden Seiten Erfolgspotenziale aufgedeckt und ausgebaut werden.
