Company acquisitions are the order of the day in the business world. However, they often do not meet the expectations placed on them. This dissertation focuses on two opposing perspectives that serve to analyze acquisition success or acquisitionfailure: On the one hand, it could be that the management of the acquiring company has possible synergies in mind. On the other hand, there is a risk that management will overestimate its own ability to realize synergies. In this case, there is...

Since the formulation of the 30-ha target as part of the »National Sustainability Strategy« in 2002, the topics »land use« and »land saving« have gained in importance in Germany.

Young people not only develop diverse concepts of femininity and masculinity at school, they also arrange them in a hierarchical order. This leads to privileges, discrimination and exclusion. This book shows the means by which a gender order is negotiated among young people at school, which on the one hand testifies to a large variety of gender concepts, but on the other hand is the result of a standardization based on social stereotypes. The author bases his theses on observations...

For the Southwest Saxony region, this thesis proves that for less land-consuming settlement development, the controlling actions at the regional level must also be adapted. Pilot projects and model projects in recent years have already set the course for this. In this respect, it is no longer just a question - whether - but - that - the regional area control is adjusted. Only in this way can the current challenges of settlement area development be controlled more effectively and...

Due to the low explanatory content of these traditional models, not only longer-term common developments of exchange rates that are detached from fundamental dynamics are revealed in the following,...

Or will the end of the European integration process be heralded with the now explicit option to leave? Could the right to withdraw...

Corresponding to the saying "Too many cooks spoil the broth" political decision-making is a challenging issue, especially when more than one party is involved. In the common opinion, political fragmentation either in parliament or in government slows down the legislative process and causes reform blockades. Whether too many cooks are really the source of these drawbacks is questionable as many other factors such as compensation payments, strategies and social norms are also connected with the process of decision-making and the...
