Stylish Weddings: Create Dramatic Wedding Photography In Any Setting
by Kevin JairajKevin Jairaj is one of the best-regarded wedding photographers in the industry. His clients have fallen for his dramatic, fashion-inspired shots of every phase of the wedding day. Jairaj has also inspired countless photographers to take risks, take control, and take their image-making to the next level. In this book, Jairaj guides readers through the creation of 60 of his breathtaking images, as well as alternate shots for that scene, to educate readers on what it takes to create technically masterful photographs that magically and artfully capture the spirit of the wedding day. The book is equal parts technique and artistry; readers will learn how to recognize what constitutes a good shot, how to find perfect lighting (or produce it, when perfect light is not at-the-ready), how to create dynamic poses, and how to anticipate those can’t-miss moments that every bride and groom will want to remember their wedding day by. The book is broken down into four discrete sections, each with a unique focus: Brides, Couples, Details, and Moments. Readers can opt to delve into an area of focus that they are feeling particularly challenged by and find concrete approaches an insightful strategies to make their own with their own clients. In each section, readers will discover details on using a wide range of lighting approaches (natural light, strobes, video lights, speedlights, and window light). They will find an array of striking, evocative poses and compositions that draw the viewer into the image. They will also learn how and where to shoot from during every phase of the shoot--from the bridal preparations, to the ceremony, to the first dance, to the exit. Armed with these solid technical skills and artistic inspirations, readers will approach their own clients’ weddings with increased confidence and heightened creativity.
Städte und Reformen der sozialen Governance: Entwicklungserfahrungen im Großraum Bay Area
by Ka Ho MokIn diesem Buch wird kritisch untersucht, wie die chinesische Regierung die neun Städte und zwei Sonderverwaltungsregionen in der Greater Bay Area (GBA) in Südchina proaktiv für eine engere Zusammenarbeit gewonnen hat, um das Land von der "Weltfabrik" zu einer führenden Weltwirtschaft in Sachen Innovation und Unternehmertum zu machen. Während der Großteil der bisherigen Forschung zu Chinas GBA-Entwicklung die Perspektive des wirtschaftlichen und technologischen Fortschritts einnimmt, konzentriert sich dieses Buch auf kritische Überlegungen dazu, wie sich die Forderung nach der Entwicklung von Megastädten und einer vertieften regionalen Zusammenarbeit in der Bay Area auf die Lebensgrundlagen der Menschen, die soziale Integration und die städtische Verwaltung auswirken wird. Das zentrale Thema dieses Buches ist "Städte, sozialer Zusammenhalt und Governance". Basierend auf der Analyse von Politischen Maßnahmen und Dokumenten, Feldforschung und Umfragen aus erster Hand sowie detailierten Interviews mit wichtigen Akteuren, die die Entwicklung der Greater Bay Area vorantreiben, bietet dieses Buch nicht nur eine regionale Perspektive bei der Analyse der Entwicklung der Greater Bay Area durch den Vergleich und die Gegenüberstellung von Entwicklungserfahrungen in den verschiedenen Bucht-Ökonomien des Landes wie der Shanghai und Zhejiang Bay Area und der Beijing und Bohai Bay Area. Das vorliegende Buch zieht auch vergleichende und internationale Erkenntnisse aus anderen etablierten Bucht-Volkswirtschaften wie der Tokyo Bay, der Florida Bay und den New York Bay Areas heran, um die Entwicklung der GBA in China zu analysieren.
Störfaktor Chef: Ein Spiegel für Chefs von heute, für eine bessere Führungskultur von morgen
by Klaus G. BeckSie sind davon überzeugt, dass Chefs in Unternehmen alles gut im Griff haben? Dass sie Kompetenz ausstrahlen, dass sie die Menschen im Unternehmen motivieren, dass sie angemessen kommunizieren, Innovation fördern und vor allem, dass sie vorbildlich die Unternehmenswerte verkörpern? Wenn Sie das wirklich so sehen oder gar erleben durften, dann legen Sie dieses Buch am besten wieder weg. Der Autor hat jedenfalls andere Erfahrungen gemacht, die er hier in treffenden Beispielen aus verschiedenen Unternehmen beschreibt. Eine Kernaussage besteht darin, dass der Laden läuft, weil die Menschen im Unternehmen n i c h t das machen, was Chefs von ihnen erwarten. Die Basis der operativ arbeitenden Menschen gleicht den „Störfaktor Chef“ aus. Ziel des Buchs ist es aber nicht zu lästern, sondern Lösungen aufzuzeigen. Klaus G. Beck zeigt ganz praxisnah auf, was im Alltag zu weniger Chef- und zu mehr Kundenorientierung führt und wie Führen durch innere Motivation gelingen kann. Eine inspirierende Lektüre mit vielen wertvollen Tipps. Es geht um ESELhaft vorgegebene Ziele, die Seilschaft der Inkompetenz, den erfolgreichen Weg in die Trägheit, die Schwelle des verschlafenen disruptiven Wandels, das hierarchiebasierte Chef-Paradoxon, Regeln für den konstruktiven Streit, die cheflose Entscheidung, den SALV-Zyklus, Singapur-Gleichungen, … All diese Begriffe erklärt das Buch ausführlich. Am Ende erreichen wir mit der „vollständigen Prozessorganisation“ und dem „Teamcoach-Gedanken“ eine zeitgemäße Organisationsform und einen modernen Führungsstil, mit dem „Führen durch innere Motivation“ wirklich möglich wird.
Stückkostenrechnung
by Andreas BölscherIn der fertigenden Industrie sind Stückkostenrechnungsmodelle weit verbreitet und in entsprechender Standardsoftware abgebildet. Aufgrund typisch hoher Strukturkostenanteile in Dienstleistungsunternehmen sind Stück- oder Produktkostenrechnungssysteme dagegen eher selten anzutreffen. Gerade hier ist es aber aufgrund des globalen Wettbewerbs und der einhergehenden Standardisierung und Industrialisierung der Dienstleistungserstellung erforderlich, die Stückkosten der Dienstleistungsproduktion zu senken. Produktivitätskennzahlen als Input-Output-Beziehungen und finanzielle Kennzahlen z.B. im Rahmen der Kostenstellenrechnung bieten dabei nicht das gleiche wie Stück- oder Produktkostenrechnungsmodelle. Heute sind Business Intelligence-Applikationen verfügbar, die diese Produktkostenrechnungsmodelle vergleichsweise leicht administrierbar machen, den besonderen Anforderungen der Dienstleistungsorganisationen aber dennoch gerecht werden. Zudem unterstützen diese Stück-/Produktkostenrechnungsmodelle die Kalkulation von internen und externen Dienstleistungen, die früher ebenfalls in Dienstleistungsorgansiationen so einfach nicht möglich waren. Dieses Buch widmet sich diesem gleichermaßen aktuellen wie relevanten Themenkomplex.

Subgame Consistent Economic Optimization: An Advanced Cooperative Dynamic Game Analysis (Static & Dynamic Game Theory: Foundations & Applications)
by Leon A. Petrosyan David W.K. YeungVarious imperfections in existing market systems prevent the free market from serving as a truly efficient allocation mechanism, but optimization of economic activities provides an effective remedial measure. Cooperative optimization claims that socially optimal and individually rational solutions to decision problems involving strategic action over time exist. To ensure that cooperation will last throughout the agreement period, however, the stringent condition of subgame consistency is required. This textbook presents a study of subgame consistent economic optimization, developing game-theoretic optimization techniques to establish the foundation for an effective policy menu to tackle the suboptimal behavior that the conventional market mechanism fails to resolve.
Subject Leadership and School Improvement (Published in association with the British Educational Leadership and Management Society)
by Alma Harris Hugh Busher Christine WiseCurriculum and subject leadership in schools has recently gained substantial attention from both researchers and policy-makers. The Teacher Training Agency (TTA) has reinforced the importance of subject leadership in school improvement, proposing a new measure of such leadership competence through the creation of national subject leader standards (NPQSL). Subject Leadership and School Improvement reflects critically on the work of subject and curriculum leaders especially in schools in England and Wales, that is, those within the policy framework of The National Curriculum and the Teacher Training Agency. The book debates the functions of subject leaders in primary and secondary schools, using current research-based conceptual frameworks, and considers how they can bring about improvement and change with their colleagues in their subject areas. It emphasizes what is particular about leading and managing the middle realm of education organizations, showing how structural, cultural and individual imperatives and perspectives interact with each other in the professional practice of being a subject leader. The book is of interest not only to subject leaders and curriculum co-ordinators, to help them reflect rigorously on their practice, but also to those responsible for supervising them, such as headteachers and school governors, as well as for those accountable to them. It will be a useful text for serving teachers undertaking higher degrees programmes or programmes for gaining national standards qualifications, the National Professional Qualification for Headteachers (NPQH) as much as for the NPQSL (National Professional Qualification for Subject Leaders) when it is implemented.
Subject-Oriented Business Process Management: Second International Conference, S-bpm One 2010, Karlsruhe, Germany, October 14, 2010 Selected Papers (Communications In Computer And Information Science #138)
by Werner Schmidt Albert Fleischmann Christian Stary Egon Börger Stefan ObermeierActivities performed in organizations are coordinated via communication between the people involved. The sentences used to communicate are naturally structured by subject, verb, and object. The subject describes the actor, the verb the action and the object what is affected by the action. Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) as presented in this book is based on this simple structure which enables process-oriented thinking and process modeling. S-BPM puts the subject of a process at the center of attention and thus deals with business processes and their organizational environment from a new perspective, meeting organizational requirements in a much better way than traditional approaches. Subjects represent agents of an action in a process, which can be either technical or human (e.g. a thread in an IT system or a clerk). A process structures the actions of each subject and coordinates the required communication among the subjects. S-BPM provides a coherent procedural framework to model and analyze business processes: its focus is the cooperation of all stakeholders involved in the strategic, tactical, and operational issues, sharing their knowledge in a networked structure. The authors illustrate how each modeling activity through the whole development lifecycle can be supported through the use of appropriate software tools. The presentation style focuses on professionals in industry, and on students specializing in process management or organizational modeling. Each chapter begins with a summary of key findings and is full of examples, hints, and possible pitfalls. An interpreter model, a toolbox, and a glossary summarizing the main terms complete the book. The web site www.i2pm.net provides additional software tools and further material.
Subjective Well-Being in the Indian Context: Concept, Measure and Index
by Tithi BhatnagarThis book offers an understanding of subjective well-being (SWB) in the Indian context across ages and strata. It discusses the conceptualization and measurement of both subjective well-being (SWB) and subjective ill-being (SIB) through a multi-phased research study. The structure of SWB and development, standardization, and indexing of an SWB Measure provide insights on how the SWB Measure can enable nations to find out the national level of SWB/SIB for its citizens. The index may be useful in identifying the level of people’s well-being or ill-being. It explores the possibility of implications and interventions in optimizing SWB both at the individual and collective levels. It is a consolidated account of the work done in SWB research, particularly with a cultural focus from the Indian context. This book has a wide application for students, researchers, psychometricians, practitioners, policymakers, and all individuals interested in concepts like SWB and Happiness.

Subjectivism and Objectivism in the History of Economic Thought (Routledge Studies In The History Of Economics Ser.)
by Kiichiro Yagi Yukihiro IkedaThis book investigates the tensions between subjectivism and objectivism in the history of economics. The book looks at the works of Adam Smith, Carl Menger, Leon Walras, William Stanley Jevons, Oskar Morgenstern, Ludwig Mises, Piero Sraffa, and so on. The book highlights the diverse subjective and objective elements of their economic theories and suggests a reframing of methodology to better address the core problems of the theories. Contributors of the volume are leading members of the Japan Society of History of Economic Thought who have provided a comprehensive overview on the economics methodology and the related problems. Hence, this book will be of an invaluable asset to not only those who are interested in the history of economic thought, but also to scholars who are concerned with the methodological problems of economic science.
Subjectivism in Economics and Philosophy: Re-orientating Economic Theory
by Karl MittermaierAvailable open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Following on from The Hand Behind the Invisible Hand and A Realist Philosophy of Economics, this new book drawn from Karl Mittermaier’s writings examines the intricate relationship between economic theory and real-world economic experiences. Despite the centrality of subjectivism in both philosophy and economics, these fields have often overlooked each other's insights. Mittermaier challenges this disconnect, advocating for a shift from deterministic models to a more reflective approach in economics. He examines the historical, methodological and philosophical dimensions of economic theory, highlighting its struggle to connect economic theory to empirical data and individuals' lived experiences. Originally penned between 1979 and 1982 and now published posthumously, this work remains a crucial contribution to contemporary economic discussions.
Subjectivity in Political Economy: Essays on Wanting and Choosing (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy #Vol. 18)
by David P. LevineThis book explores the way political economy understands human motivation. In it, the author argues that the assumptions typically made by economists regarding want and choice cannot adequately lay a foundation for answering important questions about the design of economic institutions and the appropriate use of markets. This volume offers an exciting and unusual contribution to political economy, offering a novel integration of the insights of political economy, philosophy, and psychology, applying them to vital foundational issues in political economy.
Subjects of Intergenerational Justice: Indigenous Philosophy, the Environment and Relationships (Routledge Environmental Humanities)
by Christine J. WinterThis book challenges mainstream Western IEJ (intergenerational environmental justice) in a manner that privileges indigenous philosophies and highlights the value these philosophies have for solving global environmental problems. Divided into three parts, the book begins by examining the framing of Western liberal environmental, intergenerational and indigenous justice theory and reviews decolonial theory. Using contemporary case studies drawn from the courts, film, biography and protests actions, the second part explores contemporary Māori and Aboriginal experiences of values-conflict in encounters with politics and law. It demonstrates the deep ontological rifts between the philosophies that inform Māori and Aboriginal intergenerational justice (IJ) and those of the West that underpin the politics and law of these two settler states. Existing Western IEJ theories, across distributional, communitarian, human rights based and the capabilities approach to IJ, are tested against obligations and duties of specific Māori and Aboriginal iwi and clans. Finally, in the third part, it explores the ways we relate to time and across generations to create regenerative IJ. Challenging the previous understanding of the conceptualization of time, it posits that it is in how we relate—human to human, human to nonhuman, nonhuman to human—that robust conceptualization of IEJ emerges. This volume presents an imagining of IEJ which accounts for indigenous norms on indigenous terms and explores how this might be applied in national and international responses to climate change and environmental degradation. Demonstrating how assumptions in mainstream justice theory continue to colonise indigenous people and render indigenous knowledge invisible, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental and intergenerational philosophy, political theory, indigenous studies and decolonial studies, and environmental humanities more broadly.
Subjektunabhängige, analytische Unternehmensethik: Begründung und Relevanz als praktisch-normative Betriebswirtschaftslehre
by Florian FuchsIn diesem Open-Access-Buch beleuchtet Florian Fuchs den historischen Diskurs um eine Integration ethischer Fragestellungen in die betriebswirtschaftliche Forschung. Vor dem Hintergrund einer bisher fehlenden originären Mesoethik entwickelt er mit einem Rekurs auf die Erkenntnisse der neueren Systemtheorie eine neue Unternehmensethikkonzeption. Diese ermöglicht erstmalig die Konzeption einer genuinen Unternehmensethik als strukturiertes Legitimitätsmanagement. Seit der Begründung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wird um die Sinnhaftigkeit und Möglichkeit einer fundierten Beschäftigung mit normativen Aussagen im Allgemeinen, sowie einer Forschungstätigkeit in der Domäne der Wirtschaftsethik im Speziellen, intensiv wie kontrovers gerungen. Dabei bleibt vor dem Hintergrund zahlreicher Unternehmensskandale und einer zunehmenden gesellschaftlichen Kritik an der Wirtschaftspraxis eine kritische Reflexion wirtschaftlichen Handelns hochrelevant – wobei allerdings die Frage zu stellen ist, wie eine wirtschaftsethische Beschäftigung für die BWL wissenschaftshistorisch informiert wie auch wissenschaftstheoretisch fundiert zu begründen wäre.
Sublime Economy: On the intersection of art and economics (Routledge Frontiers of Political Economy #Vol. 111)
by Jack Amariglio Joseph W. Childers Stephen E. CullenbergOver the last two centuries, artists, critics, philosophers and theorists have contributed significantly to such representations of "the economy" as sublime. It might even be said that much of the emergence of a distinctly "modern" art in the West is inextricably linked to the perception of art’s own autonomy and, therefore, its privileged, mostly critical, gaze at the terrible mixture of wonder and horror of capitalist economic practices and institutions. The premise of this collection is that despite this perceptual sharing, "sublime economy" has yet to be investigated in a purely cross-disciplinary way. Sublime Economy seeks to map this critical territory by exploring the ways diverse concepts of economy and economic value have been culturally constituted and disseminated through modern art and cultural practice. Comprising of 14 individual essays along with an editors’ introduction, Sublime Economy draws together work from some of the leading scholars in the several fields currently exploring the intersection of economic and aesthetic practices and discourses. A pressing issue of this cross-disciplinary conversation is to discern how artists’, writers’, and cultural scholars’ constructions of distinct conceptions of economic value, as pertains to aesthetic objects as well as to more "everyday" objects and relations of mass consumption, have contributed to the ways "value" functions in and across disparate discourses. Thus this book looks at how cultural critics and theorists have put forward working notions of economic value that have regularities and effects similar to those of the "expert" conceptions and discourses about value that have been the preserve of professional economists.
Subliminal Leadership: Why It Is as Important as Emotional Intelligence
by Thomas FranklUnderstanding the power of subliminal influence makes or breaks leaders. What is it that subliminally motivates people to give their best, not just what’s in their job description? How do you build an outstanding team? (Spoiler: it’s not just by putting the best people in a team.) The answer lies in the power of subliminal influence. This book explains in a clear and accessible way this important, yet little known and understood, area of psychology and leadership. As Emotional Intelligence helped managers and leaders to understand the importance of empathy in the workplace, Subliminal Leadership takes us to the next level by explaining how influence through non-verbal communication mostly happens below the threshold of our conscious awareness: subliminal forms of body language and communication which influence other people's attitudes, thinking and behavior – and which may boost, or undermine a leader's authority, the performance of teams or the quality of key customer relationships. Readers will learn how we unconsciously communicate and how we positively or negatively influence other people in the process. Understanding subliminal influence will help people in, or aspiring towards, leadership positions to build trust, understand others’ emotions, make better decisions, and strengthen professional relationships. Based on recent scientific research in disciplines as diverse as psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, medicine, neuroscience, and management studies, the book offers a breakthrough, multidisciplinary approach to influence and leadership. This book is for everyone interested in the psychological, biological, and medical dimensions of leadership.
Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior
by Leonard MlodinowLeonard Mlodinow, the best-selling author of The Drunkard's Walk and coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), gives us a startling and eye-opening examination of how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world and how, for instance, we often misperceive our relationships with family, friends, and business associates, misunderstand the reasons for our investment decisions, and misremember important events.Your preference in politicians, the amount you tip your waiter--all judgments and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels: the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The latter has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades researchers have developed remarkable new tools for probing the hidden, or subliminal, workings of the mind. The result of this explosion of research is a new science of the unconscious and a sea change in our understanding of how the subliminal mind affects the way we live.Employing his trademark wit and lucid, accessible explanations of the most obscure scientific subjects, Leonard Mlodinow takes us on a tour of this research, unraveling the complexities of the subliminal self and increasing our understanding of how the human mind works and how we interact with friends, strangers, spouses, and coworkers. In the process he changes our view of ourselves and the world around us.
