The increasing acceleration of new developments in media and ICT technologies greatly affected the Creative Industries' dynamic with a direct impact on the people working in this sector. Since only a few studies focus on competences needs, more or less isolated from the trends within the industry, we address the topic of individual competence shifts in the turbulent environment of the Creative Industries. We investigated the trends regarding competence shifts and their implications as well as the competences which are essential for creative professionals. We conducted a broad literature review as well as a qualitative study, which includes interviews and workshops with industry experts on trends within the Creative Industries and corresponding dimensions and demands for competences. We present four requirements that call for shifts in the education of competences. Based on the discussion of requirements, we present a competence portfolio for the Creative Industries along the dimensions of professional, methodological and personal-social competences. The portfolio clearly indicates which competences should be taken into consideration for the development of curricula and study programmes in the education of creative professionals. A generalization of these findings suggests new challenges for companies relying on creative professionals.}, language = {en} } @incollection{DoerflerHosli2013, author = {D{\"o}rfler, Thomas and Hosli, Madeleine O.}, title = {Reforming the United Nations Security Council}, series = {Routledge Handbook of International Organization}, booktitle = {Routledge Handbook of International Organization}, publisher = {Routledge}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-0-415-50143-9}, doi = {10.4324/9780203405345.ch28}, pages = {377 -- 390}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{EppingerVladova2013, author = {Eppinger, Elisabeth and Vladova, Gergana}, title = {Intellectual property management practices at small and medium-sized enterprises}, series = {International journal of technology management}, volume = {61}, journal = {International journal of technology management}, number = {1}, publisher = {Inderscience Enterprises Ltd}, address = {Geneva}, issn = {0267-5730}, doi = {10.1504/IJTM.2013.050244}, pages = {64 -- 81}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) contribute to innovation and economic growth, despite their resource shortages and lack of professional intellectual property (IP) management practices.

It conceptualizes purposeful data use as a type of extra-role behaviour which requires additional effort on the part of the managers and which is not extrinsically rewarded. The article sheds light on one potential antecedent of performance information use - the motivation of the users. It argues that we can observe high levels of data use if managers driven by public service motivation (PSM) work under transformational leaders. Using a needs-supply perspective on supervisors and followers we suggest that there is a PSM-leadership fit which fosters the performance of this extra-role behaviour.

Die proximity-concentration trade-off-Literatur betrachtet die Wahl zwischen Export und Auslandsproduktion und erkl{\"a}rt die Entstehung von internationalem Handel und horizontalen ausl{\"a}ndischen Direktinvestitionen. Das Standardmodell von Brainard (1993) integriert die Auslandsproduktion als alternative Versorgungsform zum Handel in ein allgemeines Gleichgewichtsmodell mit zwei L{\"a}ndern, monopolistischer Konkurrenz, steigenden Skalenertr{\"a}gen und Transportkosten. Im Gleichgewicht versorgen Unternehmen ausl{\"a}ndische M{\"a}rkte entweder durch Exporte oder eine Auslandsproduktion. Die real zu beobachtende Ko-Existenz von internationalem Handel und ausl{\"a}ndischen Direktinvestitionen auf der Unternehmensebene kann mit diesem Modell nicht erkl{\"a}rt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird die Exportplattform (EP) als m{\"o}gliche Antwort auf dieses Ph{\"a}nomen herangezogen. Eine Exportplattform ist eine Auslandsproduktion, durch die nicht nur der lokale Auslandsmarkt, sondern auch Drittl{\"a}nder versorgt werden. Im modelltheoretischen Teil dieser Arbeit wird ein partialanalytisches EP-Modell formuliert, dass auf Brainard (1993) aufbaut. Dabei wird ihr Modell um eine Mehr-L{\"a}nder-Welt mit heterogener Verteilungsstruktur erweitert und die Versorgungsalternative der EP-Exporte nach dem Beispiel von Neary (2002) integriert. Durch die analytische L{\"o}sung des partiellen Gleichgewichts l{\"a}sst sich die substitutive Beziehung zwischen Heimatexporten, Auslandsproduktion und EP-Exporten aufzeigen. Ferner kann die Wirkung der Versorgungskosten auf die Versorgungswahl analysiert werden. Dabei wird neben der analytischen Modellbeschreibung besonders auf die Gleichgewichtsbestimmung und die Existenz der Gleichgewichte eingegangen. Aufbauend auf den analytisch abzuleitenden Hypothesen wird das EP-Modell ferner einem empirischen Signifikanztest unterzogen. Unter Anwendung von nicht-linearen Regressionsverfahren wird die Wahl zwischen EP-Exporten und Auslandsproduktion, zwischen EP- und Heimatexporten sowie zwischen EP-Exporten und der EP-Produktion separat gesch{\"a}tzt.

There we find numerous conflicts, the most important of which concerns the individual employment relationship which is understood as a principal-agent problem between the manager, the principal, who issues orders that are to be followed by the employee, the agent. Whereas economic theory traditionally analyses this relationship from a (normative) perspective of the firm in order to support the manager in finding ways to influence the behavior of the employees, such that the latter - ideally - act on behalf of their superior, this book takes a neutral stance. It focusses on explaining individual behavioral patterns and the resulting interactions between the actors in the firm by taking sociological, institutional, and above all, psychological research into consideration.
