Interior Design for Small Dwellings
by Sherrill Baldwin Halbe Rose K MarkInterior Design for Small Dwellings addresses the onrush of interest in smaller homes and the possibility that small dwellings might be the answer to housing needs and sustainability. The book explores key principles essential to residing and designing small interiors with emphasis on client involvement and implementation of participatory, inclusive design as advocated by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. Does living in a small space mean living small? The authors believe that by simplifying one’s life intelligently and applying certain principles of design, planning and organization, one can actually live a meaningful life in a smaller space. These tenets are based on the authors’ professional experiences and living in small homes. To this end, the book provides discussion, images, case studies, interviews, worksheets, activities and suggested explorations. Interior Design for Small Dwellings is a teaching guide and provides information and exercises that help professional designers utilize design theory, space planning and programming techniques. Throughout, the text affords sustainability, biophilic design and wellness methodologies.
Interior Interruptions: Rehabilitating the Old to Design the New
by Jean WhiteheadInterior Interruptions examines the role of the ‘palimpsest’ and its relationship to narrative, sustainability, renovation and adaptive reuse. By exploring storytelling, palimpsestic characteristics and techniques, the book argues that these devices play a central role in the consideration of the designed interior.Narrative has a burgeoning relationship with the palimpsest and this approach embraces an aesthetic of incompleteness and imperfection as a site rich response. It recognises the ongoing ‘biography’ or heritage of a building as a form of transient architectural narrative that encourages reuse through the continual process of writing, rewriting, overwriting and unwriting. This process has sustainable, societal, archaeological and textual connotations that can be interpreted as a process of ‘layering’ whereby the architectural shell is viewed as a container; a rich repository that is ‘overlain’ by surface changes, documents architectural and spatial modifications, and is populated by interior fixtures and fittings that all unite to create an ever-changing interior story.Exploring case studies from the UK, Netherlands, Palestine, Belgium, Singapore, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Brazil, Japan, USA and China and beautifully illustrated in full colour, this book proposes that the act of interior renovation can be viewed as a perpetual form of revisionary storytelling re-imagined as a series of temporal interior ‘interruptions’. It is essential reading for students and professionals interested in the built environment, including, but not limited to, interior design, interior decoration, interior architecture and architecture.

Interkulturelle Gesprächsführung: Menschen begegnen einander, nicht Kulturen (essentials)
by Edwin HoffmanWir alle kommen mit der Superdiversität der Gesellschaft in Kontakt, die zeigt, wie geschichtet, kontextabhängig und veränderlich sich Menschen sozial organisieren und identifizieren. Kulturelle Identität ist schon lange nicht mehr nur mit der nationalen Herkunft identisch, Autochthone und Migranten aus zahlreichen Herkunftsländern haben jeweils ihre eigene Vielfalt an Bevölkerungsgruppen und sozialen Kategorien. Was bedeutet diese Superdiversität für die professionelle Kommunikation? Edwin Hoffman bietet in diesem essential mit vielen Beispielen einen innovativen Ansatz, der auf zwischenmenschlicher Kommunikation und nicht auf der Begegnung von Kulturen basiert. Das TOPOI-Modell enthält Handlungsstrategien zur Reflexion und Überbrückung von Kommunikationsunterschieden.
Interkulturelle Handlungskompetenz: Versiert, angemessen und erfolgreich im internationalen Geschäft
by Alexander ThomasDie erfolgreiche Bewältigung der klassischen Managementaufgaben wie Verhandlungsführung, Teamarbeit und Vertrauensmanagement ist gerade in der Zusammenarbeit mit ausländischen Partnern aufgrund kultureller Differenzen mit besonderen Schwierigkeiten verbunden.

Interkulturelle Kommunikation
by Anabel Ternès Ian TowersDieses praxisorientierte Buch stellt Porträts von 22 in der Literatur bisher eher weniger berücksichtigten Ländern vor, um dann ausgehend davon die Kultur des Landes zu erklären. Anhand eines Unternehmensbeispiels wird jeweils ein typisches Kommunikationsproblem beleuchtet, für das anschließend Lösungshinweise aufgezeigt werden. Denn interkulturelle Kommunikation steht unter neuen Vorzeichen – Globalisierung, Digitalisierung und New Work beeinflussen nicht nur die großen Prozesse, sondern auch den Arbeitsalltag in Unternehmen. Je internationaler ein Unternehmen aufgestellt ist, umso wichtiger ist es, interkulturelle Herausforderungen mit der notwendigen Sensibilität anzugehen.
Interkulturelle Kommunikation in der Gesundheitswirtschaft: Herausforderungen, Chancen und Fallbeispiele
by Cornelia Walter Zeina MatarDieses Fachbuch, das auch zur Lehre eingesetzt werden kann, sensibilisiert für die besonderen Aspekte der interkulturellen Kommunikation in der Gesundheitswirtschaft vor dem Hintergrund der allgemeinen Internationalisierung und ermöglicht, die darin liegenden Herausforderungen und Chancen zu erkennen. Das Aufeinandertreffen unterschiedlicher Kulturen mag in anderen Branchen auch eine Herausforderung darstellen, doch ein kulturell geprägtes Verständnis von Gesundheit und Krankheit sowie von der Behandlung von Krankheiten und unterschiedliche Berufsausbildungen prägen die Zusammenarbeit zwischen Patienten und Leistungserbringern in der Gesundheitswirtschaft, die zudem in einem Abhängigkeitsverhältnis zueinander stehen.Zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele gewähren Einblick in konkrete Alltagssituationen, in denen die interkulturelle Kommunikation gut oder weniger gut funktioniert. Sie ermöglichen, spezifische Rahmenbedingungen zu erkennen und zu reflektieren. Die Autorinnen erläutern Möglichkeiten einer erfolgreichen interkulturellen Kommunikation in bestimmten Situationen der Gesundheitswirtschaft und zeigen auf, wie interkulturelle Kompetenz der Beschäftigten als Grundlage für produktive Zusammenarbeit entwickelt werden kann. Die Konzeption einer Diversity-Strategie für Organisationen im Gesundheitswesen rundet das Buch ab.
Interkulturelle Wirtschaftspsychologie (Springer-Lehrbuch)
by Petia GenkovaDieses Lehrbuch befasst sich mit den kulturellen Unterschieden in der Wirtschaftspsychologie. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Wechselwirkung zwischen Kultur und ihrem Einfluss auf Denken und Verhalten im wirtschaftlichen Kontext. Mit Lernzielen, Praxistipps, Definitionen, Verständnisfragen und Zusammenfassungen ist dieses Werk didaktisch klar strukturiert und leicht verständlich aufgebaut. Eindrücklich zeigt es auf, welche Phänomene eher universell, d.h. in allen Kulturen gültig sind, und welche der affektiven, kognitiven und verhaltensbezogenen Phänomene eher kulturspezifischen Regeln und Normen unterliegen. Zum besseren Verständnis sind die Zusammenhänge praxisnah mit Fallbeispielen veranschaulicht. Aktuelle Studien runden die wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen mit interessanten Erkenntnissen und Beispielen ab. Direkte Handlungsimplikationen regen zum Nachdenken an und laden zur praktischen Umsetzung ein.
Interkulturelles Marketing im digitalen Zeitalter: Strategien für den globalen Markterfolg
by Doris GuttingDieses Buch erläutert die wichtigsten Grundlagen internationaler Vermarktung vor dem Hintergrund von Digitalisierung, Plattformökonomie und globaler Transparenz. Zudem nimmt es eine Neubewertung des Faktors Kultur unter den Rahmenbedingungen einer vernetzten Wirtschaft vor. Der Faktor Kultur hat – nach wie vor – einen starken Konsumeinfluss, eröffnet neue Chancen, muss aber auch zur Vermeidung von gravierenden Fehlern bedacht werden, wie viele gescheiterte internationale Marketingkampagnen immer wieder zeigen. Nur das menschenorientierte Marketing kann erfolgsbringend sein, und zwischen Standardisierung und Differenzierung muss sorgsam abgewogen werden.Die Autorin beschreibt wichtige Stellschrauben im Marketingmix für global vertriebene Produkte, zeigt zahlreiche Beispiele auf und geht folgenden Fragen nach: Wie plane ich die internationale Vermarktung strategisch und operativ? Was gilt es bei der globalen Markenkommunikation zu beachten? Welche Rolle spielt das Thema Vertrauen in Unternehmen? Wie führt man Verkaufsverhandlungen im interkulturellen Umfeld? Außerdem gibt sie Einblicke in das interkulturelle Marketing im deutschen Inlandsmarkt und die neuen Zielgruppen Muslime und Chinesen.Das Buch richtet sich an Praktiker sowie interessierte Studierende des Fachbereichs Marketing.

Interline Brands: Don't Stop Believing
by Nori Gerardo Lietz Ricardo AndradeInterline Brands, a leading distributor of residential housing maintenance and repair parts and equipment in the U.S., had just held its November 2014 board meeting. The meeting had been productive, but not without some soul searching for both the company's management team and financial sponsors. Was now the right time to start a sale process? In particular, the team wondered whether the capital markets would cooperate and how effectively the management and sponsor teams would execute. Moreover, the company had only been private for two years, and the value creation plan was only halfway through completion. While there was much to be done at Interline, the company had performed well and was gaining momentum. Interline was a rare asset in terms of the scale it had reached. However, there were still unknowns. Would buyers reward Interline with a high valuation multiple that reflected its acceleration in organic growth? Would financing markets remain healthy? Would such a process disrupt Interline's customers and employees?

Intermediate Accounting Eighth Edition
by J. David Spiceland Wayne B. Thomas Mark W. Nelson James F. SepeFinancial accounting is undergoing a period of unprecedented change. The FASB and IASB have been working together to issue converged accounting standards that will dramatically change key reporting areas, and more generally have sought to converge accounting standards over time. However, at present the convergence process appears to have stalled with respect to new standards, and it is not clear when, if ever, IFRS will be fully incorporated into U. S. GAAP. So, while there is considerable overlap between U. S. GAAP and IFRS, important differences between U. S. GAAP and IFRS will remain for the foreseeable future. To help instructors deal with this very challenging environment, the Spiceland team is committed to providing current, comprehensive, and clear coverage of intermediate accounting, and the eighth edition reflects this.
