A new revised and abridged translation of Dostoevsky's 1872 novel, The Possessed (also known in English as Devils or Demons). Perhaps the most complicated and for non-Russians the most confusing of Dostoevsky's major novels, as much as the novel reflected its times, it still is relevant today exploring the danger of idealism and liberalism turning increasingly to violence when it lacks spiritual direction. Dostoevsky's questions and novel are as relevant today as they were almost 150 years ago. This translated edition of The Possessed has been revised and abridged by Thomas Beyer so that readers may more easily follow the story and themes of the original, without sacrificing the "essential Dostoevsky." Thomas Beyer is the C.V. Starr Professor of Russian at Middlebury College in Vermont where he has been reading and teaching Dostoevsky for the past forty years.

Having started in earnest in 1997 in real estate with a single rental pooled condo, then growing to over $100M in assets with over 1000 tenants, then surviving and thriving through a brutal worldwide recession, one has some battle scars. Real estate is not only up up up but also down down down for a while and to attract over $40M in investor capital from 600+ investors without losing a cent one has to get a few things right. This book is about a few of the critical lessons learned - not only in real estate but also in life as a father and husband, in an IT career with a multinational corporation and a start-up software firm but also in a failed wireless and restaurant venture. Here's what two other mentors of Thomas Beyer and best selling authors, Don R Campbell and Greg Habstritt, have to say about the book: There is a hard and fast rule in life, business and personal relationships, a rule that governs my choices. This simple yet very effective rule helps me stay focused on what works and allows me to propel myself forward in all aspects of life, while at the same time keeping me away from unwanted and frankly dangerous distractions. Most importantly, it helps me choose who to listen to and whose advice to take. I call this rule "The Final 30 Feet Rule." The Final 30 Feet Rule states: Never take advice from someone who has not already successfully accomplished what you want to be successful at. For a comedian, it means do not listen to anyone who hasn't walked that final 30 feet from behind the curtain to standing alone in front of an audience. For investors or business owners, it means the only people worth listening to are those who have created business or investing success that far surpasses yours. Who Is Your Trail Guide? By following this rule, you quickly eliminate most of the authors, advice givers or coaches because so many of them are theorists, with limited success in business. If I am on a dangerous and unfamiliar trail, I don't want a guide who just has an idea about the trail, I want a guide who knows the trail like the back of their hand. They've been on the trail many times and they know the twists, turns and dangerous spots. Why is this important for you to understand as you consider this book? Simply, the author of this book, Thomas Beyer, is on my very small list of people who fit this description. I continually learn from him. To name just a few of the lessons included in this book: -Don't Confuse Getting Things Done with Doing Them Yourself -The Phases of "Cleaning Up Your Life Messes" -The Anatomy of Uncomfortable Change -Asking Questions Separates You from the Crowd -How to Choose a Partner -Green Money vs. Red & Blue Money When I look for insights into my business or investments I make sure that I speak with Thomas as part of my diligence. He is successful in business, in personal relationships and in real estate investing and in this book he shares 80 tips that will help propel you forward-as many of them have done along my journey. Pick up the book, listen to someone who has already cleared the path forward with his own hard work and your journey will become much clearer. Don R. Campbell Investor, Bestselling Author & Philanthropist www.DonRCampbell.com =============== Having known Thomas and watched his investing closely for more than 7 years, I've had the pleasure of seeing him emerge as one of the most pragmatic, thoughtful and strategic investors in Canada. He's never afraid of making a tough decision, admitting a mistake, or helping a new investor learn the ropes. Not only is Thomas a role model for so many investors, he's both a mentor and a friend to me, and I'm thrilled to see him finally share his wisdom and insight with this book. It's a rare exception of a truly successful professional sharing the secrets of success not just in business and investing, but in life as well.

Inhaltsangabe:Problemstellung: Der Globalisierung der Märkte und der damit einhergehende steigende Wettbewerbsdruck in allen Branchen macht auch vor deutschen Unternehmen nicht halt. Moderne Produktionsprozesse sind international fragmentiert, Firmen mit Sitz in unterschiedlichen Ländern beteiligen sich gemeinsam an der Produktion eines Gutes, an unterschiedlichen Stellen der Wertschöpfungskette. Aufgrund der hohen Produktionskosten in Deutschland sind viele Unternehmen gezwungen, ihre Produktionsaktivitäten ins Ausland zu verlagern. Für viele Unternehmen ist jedoch der Weg ins Ausland nicht nur eine Lösung, um Kosten zu sparen. Vielmehr sieht man auch die Chance, neue Absatzmärkte zu bedienen und Gewinne zu erwirtschaften. In vielen wissenschaftlichen Publikationen der letzen Jahre wird China als ein besonders erfolgsversprechendes Land für ein Auslandsengagement von Unternehmen hervorgehoben. China befindet sich seit der wirtschaftlichen Öffnung 1979 in einem rasanten Wirtschaftsaufschwung. Seit dem Beitritt Chinas zur WTO hat diese Entwicklung weiter zugenommen und das Interesse von ausländischen Investoren ist drastisch gestiegen. Im Laufe der Jahre hat sich die Bedeutung Chinas für multinationale Unternehmen deutlich verändert. China gilt nicht mehr als Spezialfall internationaler Aktivitäten, sondern wird mehr und mehr ein fester Bestandteil vieler Unternehmensstrategien. Chinas wirtschaftsfreundliche Handelspolitik und die Reduktion von Importzöllen führte in den letzten Jahren zu hohen ausländischen Investitionen, insbesondere von exportorientierten Nationen wie Deutschland. Die WTO-Auflagen zwingen China dazu, die Zölle weiter zu senken und Zugangsbeschränkungen zu den Inlandmärkten bis 2006 aufzuheben. Damit ermöglicht der WTO-Beitritt auf lokaler Ebene Wettbewerb in nahezu allen Bereichen. Internationale Unternehmen sehen die Wirkungen der niedrigen Produktionskosten auf ihre Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und forcieren mehr und mehr ihr China-Engagement. Die relativ guten Produktionsbedingungen wie niedrige Kosten in Verbindung mit einer relativ gut ausgebildeten und disziplinierten Arbeiterschaft machen das Land zur verlockenden Basis, um von dort aus in die ganze Welt zu exportieren. Die steigende Kaufkraft der Verbraucher und das anhaltende Wirtschaftswachstum von etwa 8-9 % pro Jahr machen China auch für kleine und mittelständische Unternehmen interessant. Bei all diesen günstigen Vorraussetzungen für ausländische Unternehmen darf man [¿]

Thomas Beyer entwickelt ein innovatives Erklärungsmodell der Sportrezeption, das insbesondere Stadionbesucher und Fernsehzuschauer integriert betrachtet. Das Hypothesenmodell wird in ein Messmodell überführt und am Beispiel der Zuschauer der deutschen Fußballbundesliga überprüft. Die gewonnnen Erkenntnisse ermöglichen es Sportvereinen, Veranstaltern und Medienunternehmen ihr Dienstleistungsangebot besser auf die Bedürfnisse von Zuschauern auszurichten und damit gleichzeitig effektiver und effizienter zu gestalten.
