Kundenerfolgsrechnung in der Praxis: Wie Sie profitable Kunden identifizieren (Advanced Controlling)
by Jürgen Weber Michael Haupt Mathias ErfortKundenorientierung ist in vielen Unternehmen der Schlüssel zum Markterfolg. Die wirtschaftlichen Ziele der Unternehmen verlangen eine Ausrichtung auf die profitablen Kunden. Deshalb müssen die Kunden identifiziert werden, die einen hohen Beitrag zum Ergebnis leisten und für die sich Investitionen lohnen. Häufig fehlt den Unternehmen ein geeignetes Instrumentarium. Kundenerfolge können nicht transparent, mess- und steuerbar gemacht werden. Die Kundenerfolgsrechnung schließt diese Lücke. In diesem Band werden das grundlegende Konzept sowie die wesentlichen Erfolgsfaktoren für die Einführung und Anwendung der Kundenerfolgsrechnung vorgestellt. Mit vielfältige Beispielen aus der Praxis.

Little Black Book der Plätzchen: Süsses und Herzhaftes Gebäck für Jede Jahreszeit (Little Black Books (Deutsche Ausgabe))
by Rosemarie BlimPlätzchenbacken! Wen erinnert das nicht sofort an seine Kindheit, an die Vorweihnachtszeit, an den Duft der Gewürze und an das Glücksgefühl, wenn man die Teigschüssel auslecken durfte. Und jedes Jahr im Spätherbst nehmen wir uns vor, selbst Plätzchen zu backen, um die Erinnerung aus Kindertagen wieder aufleben zu lassen. Aber Weihnachten ist nicht die einzige Gelegenheit, die Speisekammer mit Mehl und Eiern zu füllen und sich die Backschürze umzubinden. Anlässe, bei denen eine selbstgebackene Kleinigkeit willkommen ist, gibt es unzählige. Herzhaftes Fingerfood beispielsweise sorgt bei jeder großen und kleinen Party für die richtige Stimmung. Und mal ehrlich, schmecken die selbstgebackenen Häppchen nicht viel besser als die gekauften? Plätzchen, Kekse etc. kann man lange aufbewahren, es lassen sich gut kleine Vorräte anlegen und sie schmecken immer zu einer Tasse Kaffee oder Tee, unterwegs oder auch als kleines Mitbringsel bei einer Einladung. Das Little Black Book der Plätzchen enthält neben klassischem Weihnachtsgebäck viele Rezepte, die sich für alle Jahreszeiten eignen, sowie tolle Backideen für Ostern, Halloween, Kindergeburtstage und vieles mehr. Von der leichten, fruchtigen Sommer-Leckerei bis zum herzhaften Gebäck für die Fingerfood-Party ist hier für jeden Feinschmecker etwas dabei. Auch Allergiker, Veganer und Kalorienbewusste kommen nicht zu kurz, da einige Rezepte auch deren spezielle Bedürfnisse berücksichtigen. Die Rezepte sind einfach nachzubacken, man kann sie mit einer Grund-Küchenausstattung herstellen und die Zutaten sind in den meisten Supermärkten erhältlich. Besonders praktisch für eher ungeübte Bäcker: Das Buch enthält viele nützliche Tipps und Tricks z.B. zur ehrenvollen Rettung des Selbstgebackenen, wenn mal etwas schiefging oder wenn plötzlich eine Zutat fehlt, und zur richtigen Aufbewahrung des Gebäcks.
Practical Instrumental Analysis
by Sergio PetrozziThis practical book in instrumental analytics conveys an overview of important methods of analysis and enables the reader to realistically learn the (principally technology-independent) working techniques the analytical chemist uses to develop methods and conduct validation. What is to be conveyed to the student is the fact that analysts in their capacity as problem-solvers perform services for certain groups of customers, i. e. , the solution to the problem should in any case be processed in such a way as to be "fit for purpose". The book presents sixteen experiments in analytical chemistry laboratory courses. They consist of the classical curriculum used at universities and universities of applied sciences with chromatographic procedures, atom spectrometric methods, sensors and special methods (e. g. field flow fractionation , flow injection analysis and N-determination according to Kjeldahl). The carefully chosen combination of theoretical description of the methods of analysis and the detailed instructions given are what characterizes this book. The instructions to the experiments are so detailed that the measurements can, for the most part, be taken without the help of additional literature. The book is complemented with tips for effective literature and database research on the topics of organisation and the practical workflow of experiments in analytical laboratory, on the topic of the use of laboratory logs as well as on writing technical reports and grading them (Evaluation Guidelines for Laboratory Experiments). A small introduction to Quality Management, a brief glance at the history of analytical chemistry as well as a detailed appendix on the topic of safety in analytical laboratories and a short introduction to the new system of grading and marking chemicals using the "Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)", round off this book. This book is therefore an indispensable workbook for students, internship assistants and lecturers (in the area of chemistry, biotechnology, food technology and environmental technology) in the basic training programme of analytics at universities and universities of applied sciences.

Die Vielfalt des Lebens: Wie hoch, wie komplex, warum?
by Erwin BeckSeit der Konvention der Vereinten Nationen im Jahre 1992 zum Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt – dem sog. Rio-Abkommen – ist „Biodiversität“ weltweit zu einem Begriff für ein hohes Gut der Menschheit geworden, das es zu bewahren gilt. Inzwischen ist klar geworden, dass (fast) alles, was in einem Ökosystem abläuft, von seinen Organismen bewerkstelligt wird, und dass die Vielfalt dieser Organismengemeinschaften die Leistungen und die Stabilität der Landund Meeresökosysteme bedingt. Viele dieser Leistungen nutzt der Mensch, ohne sie könnte er nicht leben. Von uns oft nicht bemerkt, wirkt die Biodiversität unaufhörlich in unser tägliches Leben hinein. Dieses Lesebuch, geschrieben von Wissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftlerinnen der großen deutschen Wissenschaftsorganisationen und herausgegeben von einem renommierten Experten auf dem Gebiet, bringt dem Leser nicht nur die ungeheure Vielfalt des Lebens auf der Erde näher, sondern zeigt auch in einer gut verständlichen Sprache die Prinzipien und die Bedeutung der Biodiversität für das Leben auf der Erde auf. Darüber hinaus widmet sich das Werk dem komplexen und keineswegs immer negativen Zusammenspiel von menschlichen Einfl üssen und Biodiversität, und es diskutiert die verschiedenen Ansätze, um dieses Zusammenspiel zum Nutzen von Natur und Mensch zu verbessern. Das Buch wurde sprachlich und grafi sch von der bekannten Wissenschaftsjournalistin Claudia von See bearbeitet und ist nicht nur fachlich aktuell, sondern auch ein echter Lesegenuss.
Old Stellar Populations: How to Study the Fossil Record of Galaxy Formation
by Maurizio Salaris Santi CassisiThe book discusses the theoretical path to decoding the information gathered from observations of old stellar systems. It focuses on old stellar systems because these are the fossil record of galaxy formation and provide invaluable information ont he evolution of cosmic structures and the universe as a whole. The aim is to present results obtained in the past few years for theoretical developments in low mass star research and in advances in our knowledge of the evolution of old stellar systems. A particularly representative case is the recent discovery of multiple stellar populations in galactic globular clusters that represents one of the hottest topics in stellar and galactic astrophysics and is discussed in detail.Santi Cassisi has authored about 270 scientific papers, 150 of them in peer-reviewed journals, and the title Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations.
Statistical Diagnostics for Cancer: Analyzing High-Dimensional Data
by Matthias Dehmer Frank Emmert-StreibThis ready reference discusses different methods for statistically analyzing and validating data created with high-throughput methods. As opposed to other titles, this book focusses on systems approaches, meaning that no single gene or protein forms the basis of the analysis but rather a more or less complex biological network. From a methodological point of view, the well balanced contributions describe a variety of modern supervised and unsupervised statistical methods applied to various large-scale datasets from genomics and genetics experiments. Furthermore, since the availability of sufficient computer power in recent years has shifted attention from parametric to nonparametric methods, the methods presented here make use of such computer-intensive approaches as Bootstrap, Markov Chain Monte Carlo or general resampling methods. Finally, due to the large amount of information available in public databases, a chapter on Bayesian methods is included, which also provides a systematic means to integrate this information. A welcome guide for mathematicians and the medical and basic research communities.
