Taking German public basic research as an example, this book explores how the ongoing implementation of knowledge and technology transfer as the Third Mission of academic science creates not only new incentives for academic patenting, but also triggers new patenting motives and strategies of researchers and organizations. Analyzing these motives and strategies, the book highlights how the complex regulatory interplay of the patent system, research policy and self-governed academic communities creates a situation in which new patent functions emerge: beyond their intended function as a protection for upstream inventions, patents become a signaling device for scientists to communicate their commitment and competence in the Third Mission. As an exploratory study, this book combines qualitative empirical research with concepts and insights from multiple fields such as economics, law, political sciences and regulation. In consequence, the book addresses anyone interested in patenting incentives and motives and their impact on the functional change and regulatory effectiveness of patents in polycentric regulatory environments. About the author: With a background in institutional economics and philosophy of science, Michael Neumann joined the DFG graduate school on "Intellectual Property and the Public Domain" and the MPI for Innovation and Competition to write this doctoral thesis. He now works as a consultant on research and innovation policy. .

The aim of this strategic business consultancy project was the development of an applicable project management framework for sustainably successful M&A integration. Although M&As have been undertaken for decades throughout all industries, the reported high failure rates of M&A cases demonstrate the relevance of this topic and the need to create practical solutions. Therefore, this research aimed to answer the following central research question: How can a project management approach lead to a sustainably successful post-merger integration within an international real estate enterprise? The synthesis of findings from secondary and primary data led to the creation of an agile project management framework including the detailed elaboration of roles, routines, methods and tools. The framework Sprintegration® demonstrates the importance of holistic approaches including functional, operational and cultural integration, embedded in an agile system, which enables all involved stakeholders to consciously deal with the high complexity of M&As as the process of combining two previously separate companies and social systems. About the author Moritz Miller is a manager in the field of PMO and business consulting. His focus is on strategic organisational development and M&A, including Master Thesis on PM framework for M&A (Dual Degree, M.Eng in International Project Management, HfT Stuttgart und MBA, Liverpool John Moores University). .
