T1  - Environmental variability in the monsoon-westerlies transition zone during the last 1200 years - lake sediment analyses from central Mongolia and supra-regional synthesis
JF  - Quaternary science reviews : the international multidisciplinary research and review journal
N2  - A high resolution multi proxy (pollen, grain size, total organic carbon) record from a small mountain lake (Lake Khuisiin; 46.6 degrees N, 101.8 degrees E; 2270 m a.s.l.) in the south eastern Khangai Mountains of central Mongolia has been used to explore changes in vegetation and climate over the last 1200 years. The pollen data indicates that the vegetation changed from dry steppe dominated by Poaceae and Artemisia (ca AD 760-950), to Larix forest steppe (ca AD 950-1170), Larix Betula forest steppe (ca AD 1170-1380), meadow dominated by Cyperaceae and Poaceae (ca AD 1380-1830), and Larix Betula forest steppe (after similar to AD 1830). The cold-wet period between AD 1380 and 1830 may relate to the Little Ice Age. Environmental changes were generally subtle and climate change seems to have been the major driver of variations in vegetation until at least the early part of the 20th century, suggesting that either the level of human activity was generally low, or the relationship between human activity and vegetation did not alter substantially between AD 760 and 1830. A review of centennial scale moisture records from China and Mongolia revealed that most areas experienced major changes at ca AD 1500 and AD 1900. However, the moisture availability since AD 1500 varied between sites, with no clear regional pattern or relationship to present day conditions. Both the reconstructions and the moisture levels simulation on a millennium scale performed in the MPI Earth System Model indicate that the monsoon-westerlies transition area shows a greater climate variability than those areas influenced by the westerlies, or by the summer monsoon only.

T1  - Führungsauffassungen von Unternehmen in ländlichen Kleinbetrieben der westlichen Mongolei : eine Analyse der Führungspraxis im Kontext neocharismatischer Theorieansätze
T1  - SMEs and entrepreneurs in West Mongolia : an examination of leadershipstyles against the background of neocharismatic theory approaches
N2  - Der Transformationsprozess in der Mongolei stellt besonders für den wirtschaftlichen Bereich eine große Herausforderung dar. Bei der Umgestaltung von der Plan-zur Marktwirtschaft nehmen dabei Führungskräfte eine Schlüsselfunktion ein, da sie wesentlichen Einfluss auf den Gestaltungsprozess der sich neu orientierenden Unternehmen haben. Die Arbeit untersucht das Verhältnis der Führungskräfte zu ihren Mitarbeitern vor dem Hintergrund neocharismatischer Theorieansätze und kommt zum dem Schluss, dass es Hinweise auf transformationale Führung gibt. Dabei nehmen Gruppenprozesse, die Person der Führungskraft sowie traditionelle und sozialistisch sozialisierte Elemente zentrale Rollen ein. Des Weiteren gibt es Verweise auf Konzepte der Authentizität und der Geteilten Führung.
N2  - The postsocialist transformation process in Mongolia represents - particularly for the ecnomic sector - a major challenge.With the transformation of the planned economy to a free enterprise economy top executive personnel, especially entrepreneurs, have a key function, since they have substantial influence on the reorganization process of the newly orienting enterprises. The dissertation examines the relationship of entrepreneurs and top executives to their employees against the background of neocharismatic theory approaches and comes to the conclusion that there are thoroughly indications referring to a transformational leadership. Group processes, the personalities of top executives as well as traditional and socialistically socialized elements play a central role. Moreover there are references to concepts of authenticity and shared leadership.
