Contributions by an international set of renowned economic geographers highlight the major features of 'industrial transition' and address various questions that matter for the future of our global economy: How are regions and localities affected by the shift of product mandates? In which ways does change differ between industrial sectors and economic regions? How can regions and localities adequately prepare for or react to foreseeable changes; and how can regional resilience and response capacities be built and enhanced?

Für die Herstellung von 1,4-Butandiol haben neben dem technisch ausgereiften Reppe-Prozess in den letzten Jahren neue Synthesetechnologien an Bedeutung gewonnen. Hierzu zählt die Gasphasenhydrierung von Dimethylmaleat, der Davy-Prozess.Vorteile sind die milden Reaktionsbedingungen und die kombinierte Herstellung von 1,4-Butandiol mit den Folgeprodukten g-Butyrolacton und Tetrahydrofuran. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit war die gezielte Vermeidung von ungewollter Polymerbildung bei der einstufigen Prozessführung der Gasphasenhydrierung von Dimethylmaleat. Zudem wurden mit einem Cu/ZnO/Al2O3-Katalysator detaillierte kinetische Messungen durchgeführt und eine qualitative und quantitative Beschreibung der Reaktionskinetik mit Hilfe eines möglichst einfachen Reaktionsnetzes realisiert.

This book explores how members of an organization or group speak to and with each other. An expansion of the author's previous research on fallibility in organizations, the concept of communication climate is related to those of voice climate and psychological safety, both of which focus on the risk of speaking up and raising concerns at work. In this book the author addresses the scope for criticism, dissent and disagreement, but also for praise and encouragement. Beginning with a clear explanation of how and why communication climate is important in organizations, the author introduces the concept of critical quality moments, i.e. situations where a verbal intervention can crucially change the course of events for the better. The book then goes on to describe seven elements that characterize well-functioning communication climates before exploring the concept of communication ethics, and the balance between freedom of speech on the one hand, and speech responsibilityon the other. It concludes with suggestions for further studies of communication climate at work. This is an open access book. Øyvind Kvalnes is Professor in the Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour at BI Norwegian Business School, Norway. He has facilitated workshops and seminars on communication climate in a range of organisations in the private and public sectors. He is the author of Fallibility at Work (2017), Digital Dilemmas (2020) and Moral Reasoning at Work (2019), all published by Palgrave Macmillan, Øyvind's main research interests are in communication climate, , ethics, moral psychology, leadership, and excellence in organizations.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution will transform the global competitive landscape and as such require a radical response from organisations operating in complex, knowledge-based economies. Much like previous phases of economic, social and technological changes, there is an assumption that existing technologies will become obsolete and alternative sources of value creation must be found. These assumptions will create significant opportunities in the next revolutionary cycle, but to take advantage of these will require a new business model and organisational constructs. In charting the course of structures and dynamics over the first Three Industrial Revolutions, this book offers points of learning that can be applied to the Fourth. It offers a discussion about how organisations have emerged over time and how they learnt to adapt to industrial revolution and economic upheaval. Covering conceptual ideas about organisations as collections of individuals, the book will also highlight the practice of organisation from the First to the Fourth Industrial Revolution with examples across Europe the USA and Asia. Building on the ideas and concepts in The Making of the Modern Manager, this book explores the changing business contexts through industrial revolutions, the practice of organisation in response to these changes, the theory of organisation and the definition of organisation.

This book takes the reader on a new tour of the world of firms. We start with a visit to the inside of a firm. We meet the owner and the manager. We look deeply into their mindsets. Then we move outside the firm, to observe the firm's outer features. We pay particular attention to its size, its complexity, its fragility, and its similarity to other firms. In the second half of the tour, we visit communities of firms. We watch waves of mergers, chaos, and bubbles. Before returning, we witness battles between firms and creatures that act like antibodies in our blood: corporate raiders, antitrust agencies, and creative destructors. Throughout the tour, we ask how the things we see are linked. This book encourages the reader to see them as feedback loops. The book's overarching argument is the importance of the separation of ownership and control and how society must pay more attention to the concept.
