Bewertung von Arzt- und Zahnarztpraxen: Verfahren, Methoden und exemplarische Berechnungen
by Wilfried BridtsDie Anlässe für die Bewertung von Arzt- und Zahnarztpraxen sind vielfältig, am häufigsten jedoch sind Praxisübernahme und -verkauf der Anlass, zu dem dieser Unterfall einer Unternehmensbewertung ansteht. In diesem Buch werden die gebräuchlichsten Methoden - das modifizierte Ertragswertverfahren, die Ärztekammermethode und diverse Praktiker-Verfahren - mit ihren jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteilen vorgestellt. Die Wahl des Bewertungsverfahren hängt von verschiedenen Faktoren ab, die hier detailliert erläutert werden. Zudem muss bei jeder Bewertung auch das aktuelle Marktumfeld der Ärzte, also der deutsche Gesundheitsmarkt, mit einbezogen werden. Für den zukünftigen finanziellen Erfolg von Arztpraxen ist maßgeblich, die Bewertung zukunftsorientiert durchzuführen. Anhand von exemplarischen Berechnungen werden die Unterschiede der Betrachtungsweisen und der Bewertungsmethoden aufgezeigt.

Bewertung: Die verborgene Macht unserer ökonomischen Weltbilder
by Detlef PietschDas ökonomische Prinzip beruht vor allem auf Effizienz und Optimierung, so scheint es. Doch wir Menschen stehen im Zentrum der Ökonomie mit unserer Vernunft aber auch unseren Gefühlen und zum Teil irrationalen Handlungen. Alles, was wir sehen und erleben wird einer permanenten Bewertung unterzogen: Die Produkte, die wir konsumieren, der Lohn, den wir erhalten aber auch unser individuelles Glück und unser Wohlstand. Unser Blick auf die Wirtschaft hängt vor allem von unserem individuellen Weltbild ab. Die Ökonomie ist eine Sozialwissenschaft und keine Mathematik, wie es die ökonomische Theorie seit Jahrzehnten suggeriert. Sie muss daher nicht komplett umgeschrieben werden, aber wesentliche Teile sind aus Sicht des Menschen grundlegend zu überdenken. Bewertung ist das Grundprinzip moderner Ökonomie, das dieses Buch adressieren und näher erläutern möchte. Der Inhalt Bewertung als Grundprinzip moderner Ökonomie Bewertung des Konsums, des Geldes, der Arbeit und des Lebens Rückwirkungen der Bewertung auf die ökonomische Theorie und Praxis
Bewertungssysteme im E-Commerce: Mit authentischen Kundenbewertungen Reputation und Umsatz steigern
by Frank DegesKundenbewertungen sind ein integrativer Bestandteil des Entscheidungsprozesses beim Onlinekauf. Konsumenten kaufen Produkte und Dienstleistungen bevorzugt bei Anbietern, zu deren Leistungsspektrum sie sich vorab ein Meinungsbild über Kundenbewertungen bilden konnten. Bewertungssysteme zahlen daher sowohl auf die Bindung von Stammkunden wie auch auf die Akquisition von Neukunden ein. Positive Kundenbewertungen sind ein signifikanter Treiber für Conversions im E-Commerce. Dieses Fachbuch vermittelt einen kompakten Überblick über die Funktionsprinzipien und Wirkmechanismen von Bewertungssystemen. Mit Praxisbeispielen und empirischen Erkenntnissen wird veranschaulicht, wie Kundenbewertungen den Absatz von Produkten und Dienstleistungen befördern. Unternehmen wird aufgezeigt, wie sie mit der Analyse von konstruktivem Kundenfeedback ihr Leistungsangebot optimieren und Umsatzsteigerungen erzielen.
Bewältigung der Entgeltungleichheit: Reaktionen auf eine familienstrukturbedingte Gender Pay Gap Salienz (Schriften zur Unternehmensentwicklung)
by Bianca HillenbrandBianca Hillenbrand beschreibt in diesem Buch, welche emotionalen, affektiven und verhaltensbezogenen Reaktionen bei Frauen und Männern hervorgerufen werden, wenn sie die Thematik „Gender Pay Gap“ wahrnehmen und wenn sie erkennen, welche sozialen und familiären Strukturen das Erreichen einer angemessenen Entlohnung beeinflussen. Durch eine Erziehung, welche geschlechtsunabhängig die Merkmale Wertebewusstsein, Durchsetzungsfähigkeit und Aktivität vermittelt, könnte aus Sicht der Studienteilnehmer die familienstrukturbedingte Gender Pay Gap verringert werden. Die Studienergebnisse zeigen, dass zudem die Höhe des Gehalts in der Kindergeneration von der emotionalen Wärme, Strenge, Kontrolle, Herzlichkeit und Durchsetzungsfähigkeit der Eltern abhängig ist sowie von der Konstanz der Erziehung. Die Analyse findet ihren Abschluss in der Aufforderung zu einer Politik der Wissensvermittlung, d.h. einer Aufklärung über die Zusammenhänge zwischen Erziehung, Familie und Entgelthöhe, um die familienstrukturbasierte Gender Pay Gap zu verringern und damit das Gebot der Entgeltgleichheit zu stärken.
Bewältigung des Privacy Paradoxons: Der Privacy Calculus im Kontext personalisierter Online-Kommunikation und die Rolle situativer Einflüsse (BestMasters)
by Lars WendelDas vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem Datenschutzverhalten von Konsumenten im Internet, bei dem das Privacy Paradoxon adressiert wird. Für die Untersuchung des Phänomens wurde eine strukturierte Literaturrecherche und Online-Umfrage mit einem 3x2 faktoriellen Design im Kontext personalisierter Online-Kommunikation durchgeführt und empirisch anhand geeigneter Analyseverfahren ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit verdichten die Hinweise auf die Existenz eines nicht beobachtbaren intrapsychologischen Bewertungsprozesses, der durch die Einflussnahme situativer Stimuli und existierender Dispositionen im Individuum stattfindet.
Beyonc
by Anita Elberse Stacie SmithIn December 2013, music superstar Beyonc is about to surprise her fans with the release of her self-titled album. The team at her company Parkwood Entertainment, which general manager Lee Anne Callahan-Longo described as "a management, music, and production company that is owned and at the highest level operated by an artist," had chosen to release the entire album at once and exclusively via the Apple iTunes Store, without any prior promotion-a significant, and potentially very risky, departure from how music was traditionally released. Sony Music's label Columbia Records, with whom Parkwood partnered on recorded-music activities, shared the costs-and therefore also the risk-of the album, which had been one-and-a-half years in development and was a particularly expensive proposition because of the many videos. How would fans and music industry insiders react to the daring launch, unveiled via Beyonc 's Facebook and Instagram accounts? Would the album be able to find a large enough audience even without traditional promotional activities? And would there be any adverse reactions, for instance from traditional music retailers refusing to carry the physical album later?
Beyond $15: Immigrant Workers, Faith Activists, and the Revival of the Labor Movement
by Jonathan RosenblumThe inside story of the first successful $15 minimum wage campaign that renewed a national labor movementSeaTac, Washington—a small city built around Seattle-Tacoma International Airport—gained national recognition as the first successful $15 minimum wage battleground. But what most people don’t know is that the SeaTac fight didn’t begin with wages. The campaign emerged from an unlikely coalition that first united over the right of Muslim airport workers to pray.When unions stood in solidarity with Somali immigrants in a conflict with their employer over prayer breaks, something remarkable happened. From this skirmish a powerful coalition of immigrant workers, clergy, and unions emerged to force a dramatic showdown with the airlines and political establishment. At stake was not just money but justice: whether the airport economy would serve the needs of everyone who made it work.Driven by captivating narrative and insightful analysis, Jonathan Rosenblum’s book reveals the inside story of SeaTac: airport workers and clergy staging face-to-face confrontations with corporate leaders; the challenges of uniting a diverse, largely immigrant workforce; and the internal tensions that nearly destroyed the coalition. Beyond $15 is a blunt assessment of the daunting problems within today’s unions; a blueprint for a powerful, all-inclusive labor movement; and a call for workers to reclaim their power and voice in the new economy.

Beyond Agile Auditing: Three Core Components to Revolutionize Your Internal Audit Practices
by Clarissa LucasBeyond Agile Auditing shows auditors and organizational leaders how to revolutionize the audit experience.For decades, auditors have unintentionally struck fear in their clients. They are rarely welcomed into an area with open arms and are often viewed as one more obstacle to delivering value. But internal audit serves a vital function in reducing risk and ensuring success for all organizations.In Beyond Agile Auditing, experienced audit and risk management leader Clarissa Lucas shows organizations how to go beyond collaboration and build a partnership between auditors and clients. By leveraging this partnership, organizations can experience more value-added audit work, faster time to results (and resolution), greater engagement and satisfaction from all parties involved, and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace,By building upon the work of the DevOps community, which reinvented the relationship between two groups that historically saw each other as adversaries and obstacles, Lucas applies new and better ways of working to the audit process. In this reimagined world, auditors (as well as other assurance providers) work closely with their clients to become strategic differentiators instead of obstacles, providing stakeholders value they never imagined. Come join us in this brave new world of audit.
Beyond Agile: Ein neues System der Unternehmensorganisation in der Praxis
by Alexander Güttler Tobias BruseStreng hierarchische Führung oder total agile Demokratie? Die Unternehmensorganisation der Zukunft muss beides können. Wie das gelingen kann, beschreibt dieses Fachbuch ausführlich – in einem neuen Organisationsmodell, das beide Herangehensweisen situativ möglich macht.

Es beleuchtet die Entwicklung gängiger Organisationsformen von komplexen Hierarchien über Lean und Scrum bis hin zur Holokratie. Anschließend wird das innovative Konzept beschrieben, das die besten Ansätze vereint: situativ statt festgelegt, systemisch statt hierarchisch, lateral statt vertikal. Praxisnah am Beispiel einer Unternehmensberatung und Kreativagentur, die dieses Organisationsmodell seit über sieben Jahren lebt. Das Ergebnis? Beyond Agile.

Beyond Airline Disruptions: Thinking and Managing Anew
by Jasenka RapajicFlight disruptions continue to thrive unnoticed, invisibly eroding airline profitability and causing growing passenger dissatisfaction. This is especially critical at airports where traffic expansion outstrips airport capacities. Hampered by legacy information systems, management practices and organisational detachments, decision makers across the industry have little or no understanding of the multiple causes of disruptions and their implications. Consequently, their actions are focused on resolving local problems without being synchronised at system level. As problematic as they are, disruptions create opportunities for learning about system interactions, a solid and appropriate foundation for resolving complex industry issues. Beyond Airline Disruptions explains how airlines can become more competitive by utilising unexplored potential for gradual, consistent and measurable improvements, centred around cost and quality of operational performance. It describes practical methods and techniques essential for turning these ideas into daily practices. This second, revised edition features updated content that introduces a fresh approach to airline management and decision making, more in line with future industry needs. It bridges the gaps between strategy and operations and inspires collaboration between airlines, airports, ATC, service providers and regulators to bring longer-lasting benefits not only for industry participants and passengers, but also for the economy, society and the environment.
Beyond Algorithms: Delivering AI for Business
by David Porter James Luke Padmanabhan SanthanamWith so much artificial intelligence (AI) in the headlines, it is no surprise that businesses are scrambling to exploit this exciting and transformative technology. Clearly, those who are the first to deliver business-relevant AI will gain significant advantage. However, there is a problem! Our perception of AI success in society is primarily based on our experiences with consumer applications from the big web companies. The adoption of AI in the enterprise has been slow due to various challenges. Business applications address far more complex problems and the data needed to address them is less plentiful. There is also the critical need for alignment of AI with relevant business processes. In addition, the use of AI requires new engineering practices for application maintenance and trust. So, how do you deliver working AI applications in the enterprise? Beyond Algorithms: Delivering AI for Business answers this question. Written by three engineers with decades of experience in AI (and all the scars that come with that), this book explains what it takes to define, manage, engineer, and deliver end-to-end AI applications that work. This book presents Core conceptual differences between AI and traditional business applications A new methodology that helps to prioritise AI projects and manage risks Practical case studies and examples with a focus on business impact and solution delivery Technical Deep Dives and Thought Experiments designed to challenge your brain and destroy your weekends

Beyond Austerity: Reforming the Greek Economy (The\mit Press Ser.)
by Christopher Pissarides Costas Meghir Dimitri Vayanos Nikolaos VettasProminent economists present detailed analyses of the conditions that made Greece vulnerable to economic crisis and offer policy recommendations for comprehensive and radical change.More than eight years after the global financial crisis began, the economy of Greece shows little sign of recovery, and its position in the eurozone seems tenuous. Between 2008 and 2014, incomes in Greece shrank by more than 25 percent, homes lost more than a third of their value, and the unemployment rate reached 27 percent. Most articles on Greece in the media focus on the effects of austerity, repayment of its debt, and its future in the eurozone. In Beyond Austerity: Reforming the Greek Economy, leading Greek economists from institutions both within and outside Greece, take a broader and deeper view of the Greek crisis, examining the pathologies that made Greece vulnerable to the crisis and the implications for the entire eurozone.Each chapter takes on a specific policy area, examining it in terms of Greece's economic reality and offering possible directions for policy. The topics range from macroeconomic issues to markets and their regulation to finance to the public sector. Individual chapters address the costs and benefits of participation in the eurozone, Greece's international competitiveness, taxation, pensions, the labor market, privatization, product markets, finance, education, healthcare, corruption, the justice system, and public administration. The contributors argue that Greek institutions require a deep overhaul rather than quick fixes to enable long-term growth and prosperity.
Beyond BIM: Architecture Information Modeling
by Danelle BriscoeBeyond BIM explores the vast and under-explored design potential undertaken by information modeling. Through a series of investigations grounded in the analysis of built work, interviews with leading practitioners, and speculative projects, the author catalogs the practical advantages and theoretical implications of exploiting BIM as a primary tool for design innovation. Organized by information type, such as geographic data, local code, or materials, each chapter suggests a realm of knowledge that can be harvested and imported into BIM to give meaningful specificity to architectural form and space. While highly sustainable, the work documented and envisioned in this book moves well beyond ‘normalization,’ to reveal inventive takes on contemporary practice. Beyond BIM serves as a primary resource for professional architects from practice, researchers and designers engaged in information related spatial design processes, as well as students and faculties of architecture schools in search of BIM design inspiration. Likewise, those highly attuned to computation and unconventional ways of creating form and space, particularly built outcomes that utilize BIM, will find this book meaningful and essential.
Beyond Backpacker Tourism
by Kevin Hannam Anya DiekmannBuilding on previous work on backpacking, this book takes the analysis of backpacker tourism further by engaging both with new theoretical debates into tourism experiences and mobilities as well as with new empirical phenomena such as the rise of the 'flashpacker' and alternative destinations. Chapters include material on flashpacking, the virtualization of backpacker culture, the re-conceptualisation of lifestyle travellers, backpackers as volunteer tourists, as well as backpackers' experiences of hostels, mobilities and their policy implications. It sets a new benchmark for the study of independent travel in the contemporary world.
Beyond Bad Apples: Risk Culture in Business
by Kern Alexander Daniel Ralph Michelle TuvesonThe one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel has become a common metaphor used with reference to risk culture in organisations. This “inside-out” perspective begins with the individual as the unit of analysis and follows with inferences to the broader environment. Since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008, risk culture for many has become the explanation for shortcomings, poor decisions, and moral failures in organisations. This volume presents an institutional perspective of the forces that shape risk culture, and culture more generally, in organisations through a multi-disciplinary examination from a variety of leading academics and subject specialists. The authors demonstrate that firms play a role as manufacturers and managers of risk and they challenge common conceptions that attribute risk to chance circumstances or rogue behaviours. The foundational concepts needed for an institutional view of risk culture are highlighted with subsequent links to significant developments within society and firms.
Beyond Banks: A Global History of Credit Markets and Intermediation (Palgrave Studies in the History of Finance)
by Juliette Levy Christiaan Van BochoveScholars of credit markets have long focused on banks, but pre-modern as well as modern economies often relied on non-bank credit. This edited volume brings together international examples from across history that highlight how guilds, innkeepers, moneylenders, notaries, networks of family members and friends, and religious institutions – among others – mobilized credit before and even along banks. The volume operationalizes a common terminology and set of questions to allow for comparisons between the wide range of bank and non-bank credit arrangements across the globe and across time. It will be of interest to financial and economic historians, economists, and many other scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
