Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2016 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,3, Fachhochschule Rosenheim, Veranstaltung: Betriebswirtschaftliches SEminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Bei so gut wie jeder Fragestellung in einem Unternehmen werden direkt oder indirekt Geschäftsprozesse involviert, egal ob es sich dabei um betriebswirtschaftliche, informationstechnische oder organisatorische Themen handelt. Bevor man Prozesse jedoch analysieren, optimieren oder vergleichen kann, müssen diese zunächst umfassend visualisiert und dokumentiert werden. Daher ist die zielgerichtete und ausführliche Betrachtung von Prozessen Basis für fast jede Auseinandersetzung mit betrieblichen Prozessen.

Dieses Buch zeigt Wege zur effizienteren Gestaltung der Arbeitsabläufe in Unternehmen und Verwaltungen auf. Zunächst werden die theoretischen Grundlagen und die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen für eine erfolgreiche Prozessoptimierung erläutert. Im zweiten Teil wird anhand konkreter Beispiele aus der Praxis erklärt, wie Abläufe im Unternehmensalltag erfolgreich verbessert werden können. Die Anwendung der im ersten Teil beschriebenen Methoden und Tools wird anschaulich dargestellt und mit Tipps und Tricks ergänzt. Abschließend werden verschiedene Simulationen vorgestellt, welche in Teams und Gruppen von Mitarbeitenden zur Teambildung und zum besseren Verständnis von effizienten Arbeitsabläufen eingesetzt werden können.

This textbook focuses on the management challenges of founding a new venture and managing its rapid growth as the firm evolves. It covers crucial management areas in the entrepreneurship context such as entrepreneurial finance, marketing, and human resource management. Also, more hands-on management topics like writing a business plan and choosing a legal form for a venture are covered. A key chapter of the book is dedicated to leadership challenges in managing rapidly growing young firms located in new industries and technology areas. The book is written from a Continental European perspective to cater for its European target audience in entrepreneurship courses to be held in English.

The next step in the evolution of the organizational quality field, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) has come of age. However, many challenges to using LSS in lieu of, in conjunction with, or integrated with other quality initiatives remain. An update on the current focus of quality management, Quality Management for Organizations Using Lean Six Sigma Techniqu

This book aims to achieve the following goals: (1) to provide a high-level survey of key analytics models and algorithms without going into mathematical details; (2) to analyze the usage patterns of these models; and (3) to discuss opportunities for accelerating analytics workloads using software, hardware, and system approaches. The book first describes 14 key analytics models (exemplars) that span data mining, machine learning, and data management domains. For each analytics exemplar, we summarize its computational and runtime patterns and apply the information to evaluate parallelization and acceleration alternatives for that exemplar. Using case studies from important application domains such as deep learning, text analytics, and business intelligence (BI), we demonstrate how various software and hardware acceleration strategies are implemented in practice. This book is intended for both experienced professionals and students who are interested in understanding core algorithms behind analytics workloads. It is designed to serve as a guide for addressing various open problems in accelerating analytics workloads, e.g., new architectural features for supporting analytics workloads, impact on programming models and runtime systems, and designing analytics systems.

This volume contains the written texts of the papers presented at a Symposium on Buckling of Structures held at Harvard University in June 1974. This symposium, one of several on various topics sponsored annually by the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Me chanics (IUTAM), was organized by a Scientific Committee consisting of B. Budiansky (Chairman), A. H. Chilver, W. T. Koiter, and A. S. Vol' mir. Participation was by invitation of the Scientific Committee, and specific lecturers were invited to speak in the areas of experimental research, buckling and post-buckling calculations, post-buckling mode interaction, plasticity and creep effects, dynamic buckling, stochastic problems, and design. A total of 29 lectures were delivered, including a general opening lecture by Professor Koiter, and there were 93 reg istered participants from 16 different countries. Financial support for the symposium was provided by IUTAM, in the form of partial travel support for a number of participants, and also by the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Air Force Office of Scientific Re search, for additional travel support and administrative expenses. Meeting facilities and services were efficiently provided by the Science Center of Harvard University, and administrative support was gen erously provided by the Division of Engineering and Applied Physics of Harvard University. The scientific chairman enjoyed the invaluable assistance of his colleagues Professors J. W. Hutchinson and J. L.
