Akzeptanz von Insekten als Nahrungsmittel in Deutschland: Soziodemografische, ernährungs- und umweltpsychologische Einflussfaktoren (BestMasters)
by Liza Marleen UllmannLiza Marleen Ullmann untersucht die soziodemografischen, ernährungs- und umweltpsychologischen Faktoren, die ausschlaggebend für die Akzeptanz deutscher Konsumenten von Insekten als Nahrungsmittel am Beispiel des Buffalowurms (Alphitobius diaperinus) im Sinne einer nachhaltigen Alternative zu konventionellem Fleisch sind. Im Rahmen einer quantitativen Online-Fragebogenstudie gelingt es der Autorin, herauszufinden, dass die Akzeptanz gegenüber unverarbeiteten, essbaren Insekten geringer ist als die gegenüber verarbeiteten Insekten. Dieses Buch leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag, Nahrungsmittel aus Insekten zukünftig auch in der deutschen Esskultur zu etablieren und trägt zur „Bildung für Nachhaltige Entwicklung“ (BNE) bei, welche alle Menschen zu verantwortungsvollem, zukunftsfähigem und nachhaltigkeitsbewusstem Denken und Handeln befähigen soll.
Akzeptanz von Künstlicher Intelligenz: Grundlagen intelligenter KI-Assistenten und deren vertrauensvolle Nutzung
by Dennis ScheuerDennis Scheuer geht der Frage nach, welche Determinanten die Akzeptanz von Künstlicher Intelligenz beeinflussen, welche Implikationen die Demokratisierung der KI hat und wie Anwender dieser Systeme reagieren. Die Beeinflussung der Akzeptanz von KI bedarf einer differenzierten Betrachtung im Vergleich zu regelbasierten Systemen. Wird eine KI als Persönlichkeit und nicht als Technologie wahrgenommen, ist die Anwendbarkeit von klassischen Technologieakzeptanzmodellen wie des TAM 3 zu hinterfragen.
Akzeptanz von Produktinnovationen: Eine Einführung (essentials)
by Christian Arnold Christoph KleeChristian Arnold und Christoph Klee erläutern in diesem Essential, warum es sich bei Produktinnovationen um einen kritischen Erfolgsfaktor handelt: Kundenanforderungen und Technologien wandeln sich immer rascher und das Angebotsprogramm muss entsprechend häufig angepasst werden. Auf eine Begriffserläuterung und einige Anmerkungen zur betriebswirtschaftlichen Erfolgsforschungstradition folgt eine Einführung in bedeutende Konzepte der Akzeptanzforschung. Im Anschluss werden Widerstände diskutiert, die die Akzeptanz einer Produktinnovation unter bestimmten Umständen blockieren können.

Akzeptanz von Telematik in der Motorfahrzeugversicherung: Eine Bedürfnisanalyse bei motorfahrzeughaltenden Privatpersonen in der Schweiz (Schriftenreihe der Kalaidos Fachhochschule Schweiz)
by Thomas Sonderegger Simon HartmannThomas Sonderegger und Simon Hartmann gehen der Frage nach, welche Rolle Telematik (z. B. Fahrtenschreiber, Crashrecorder) für die Zukunft der Motorfahrzeugversicherung spielt und wie diese Entwicklung durch Kundinnen und Kunden bewertet wird. Vor dem Hintergrund, dass manche Tarifierungen – beispielsweise nach Geschlecht – in der EU nicht mehr zulässig sind, könnte gerade Telematik die nächste Generation von Versicherungsprodukten tiefgreifend formen. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt, welche Hürden es zu bewältigen gilt: So besteht in der Schweiz nur eine geringe Nachfrage nach derartigen Produkten. Angesichts dieses Akzeptanzproblems geben die Autoren Handlungsempfehlungen, wie der Aufbau von telematikbasierten Versicherungslösungen dennoch gelingen kann.

Al-jazeera: The Story Of The Network That Is Rattling Governments And Redefining Modern Journalism Updated With
by Adel Iskandar Mohammed El-nawawyAl-Jazeera, the independent, all-Arab television news network based in Qatar, emerged as ambassador to the Arab world in the events following September 11, 2001. Arabic for "the island," Al-Jazeera has "scooped" the western media conglomerates many times. With its exclusive access to Osama Bin Laden and members of the Taliban, its reputation was burnished quickly through its exposure on CNN. During the 2003 war in Iraq, Al-Jazeera seemed to be everywhere, reporting dramatic stories and images, even as it strived to maintain its independence as an international free press news network. Al-Jazeera sheds light on the background of the network: how it operates, the programs it broadcasts, its effects on Arab viewers, the reactions of the West and Arab states, the implications for the future of news broadcasting in the Middle East, and its struggle for a free press and public opinion in the Arab world.

Drawing on Moorehead's diaries and correspondence, as well as interviews with his family and friends, Tom Pocock tells the story of a thrilling, but ultimately tragic, life.
Alan S. Milward and Contemporary European History: Collected Academic Reviews (Routledge Studies in Modern European History)
by Fernando Guirao Frances M.B. LynchAlan S. Milward was a renowned historian of contemporary Europe. In addition to his books, as well as articles and chapters in edited books, he also wrote nearly 250 book reviews and review articles, some in French and German, which were published in journals world-wide. Taken together they reveal a remarkable degree of theoretical consistency in his approach to understanding the history of Europe since the French Revolution. This book brings together these previously unexamined pieces of historical analysis in order to trace and shed light on key intellectual debates taking place in the second half of the 20th century. Many of these discussions continue to influence us today, such as the role of Germany in Europe, the economic, social and political foundations of European integration, the European rescue of the nation-state, the reasons for launching the single currency, the conditions for retaining the allegiance of European citizens to the notions of nation and supra-nation, and ultimately the issue of democratic governance in a global environment. In bringing together these reviews and review articles, the book provides an introduction to the main scholarly achievements of Milward, in his own words. Fernando Guirao and Frances M.B. Lynch provide an introduction to the volume, which both guides the reader through many of the academic debates embedded within the text while underlining their contemporary relevance. By introducing and bringing together this hitherto overlooked treasure trove of historical analysis, this book maps a close itinerary of some of the most salient intellectual debates of the second half of the 20th century and beyond. This unique volume will be of great interest to scholars of economic history, European history and historiography.

The Alchemists: Inside The Secret World Of Central Bankers
by Neil IrwinWhen the first rumblings of the coming financial crisis were heard in August 2007, three men who were never elected to public office suddenly became the most powerful men in the world. They were the leaders of the world's three most important central banks: Ben Bernanke of the U.S. Federal Reserve, Mervyn King of the Bank of England, and Jean-Claude Trichet of the European Central Bank. Over the next five years, they and their fellow central bankers deployed trillions of dollars, pounds and euros to try and contain the waves of panic that threatened to bring down the global financial system.Neil Irwin's The Alchemists is both a gripping account of the most intense exercise in economic crisis management we've ever seen, and an insightful examination of the role and power of the central bank. It begins in Stockholm, Sweden, in the seventeenth century, where central banking had its rocky birth, and then progresses through a brisk but dazzling tutorial on how the central banker came to exert such vast influence over our world. It is the story of how these figures and institutions became what they are - the possessors of extraordinary power over our collective fate. What they chose to do with those powers is the heart of the story Irwin tells.Irwin covered the financial crisis for the Washington Post, enjoying privileged access to leading central bankers and the people close to them. His account, based on reporting that took place in 27 cities in 11 countries, is the holistic, truly global story of the central bankers' role in the world economy we have been missing. It is a landmark reckoning with central bankers and their power, with the great financial crisis of our time, and with the history of the relationship between capitalism and the state. Definitive, revelatory, and riveting, The Alchemists shows us where money comes from--and where it may well be going.

Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make Sense
by Rory Sutherland‘A breakthrough book. Wonderfully applicable to everything in life, and funny as hell.’ Nassim Nicholas TalebTo be brilliant, you have to be irrationalWhy is Red Bull so popular – even though everyone hates the taste? Why do countdown boards on platforms take away the pain of train delays? And why do we prefer stripy toothpaste?We think we are rational creatures. Economics and business rely on the assumption that we make logical decisions based on evidence.But we aren’t, and we don’t.In many crucial areas of our lives, reason plays a vanishingly small part. Instead we are driven by unconscious desires, which is why placebos are so powerful. We are drawn to the beautiful, the extravagant and the absurd – from lavish wedding invitations to tiny bottles of the latest fragrance. So if you want to influence people’s choices you have to bypass reason. The best ideas don’t make rational sense: they make you feel more than they make you think.Rory Sutherland is the Ogilvy advertising legend whose TED Talks have been viewed nearly 7 million times. In his first book he blends cutting-edge behavioural science, jaw-dropping stories and a touch of branding magic, on his mission to turn us all into idea alchemists. The big problems we face every day, whether as an individual or in society, could very well be solved by letting go of logic and embracing the irrational.
