We develop a model of location choice in discrete space. The main force towards an agglomerated structure is the reduction of transaction costs for consumers if retailers are located closely, whilst competition and transport costs work towards a disperse structure. We assess the importance of the initial conditions by simulating the resulting distribution of shops for identical economic parameters but varying initial settings. If the equilibrium distributions are similar we conclude that economic forces have prevailed, while dissimilarity indicates that 'history' is more important. The (dis)similarity of distributions of shops is calculated by means of a metric measure.}, language = {en} } @article{MuellerSeitzDautzenbergCreusenetal.2009, author = {M{\"u}ller-Seitz, Gordon and Dautzenberg, Kirsti and Creusen, Utho and Stromereder, Christine}, title = {Customer acceptance of RFID technology : evidence from the German electronic retail sector}, issn = {0969-6989}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{MitznerReger2009, author = {Mitzner, Dana and Reger, Guido}, title = {Strategic foresight in Biotechnology firms practice and requirements}, series = {Proceedings of international forum on technological innovation and competitive technical intelligence '2008}, journal = {Proceedings of international forum on technological innovation and competitive technical intelligence '2008}, publisher = {Peking University Press}, address = {Beijing}, isbn = {978-7-301-15500-4}, pages = {2 -- 22}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{MietznerReger2009, author = {Mietzner, Dana and Reger, Guido}, title = {Practices of strategic foresight in biotech companies}, issn = {1363-9196}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{MeyerSahlingGoetz2009, author = {Meyer-Sahling, Jan-Hinrik and G{\"o}tz, Klaus H.}, title = {The EU timescape : from notion to research agenda}, issn = {1350-1763}, doi = {10.1080/13501760802589404}, year = {2009}, abstract = {This article outlines how the notion of an EU timescape may be developed into a fruitful research agenda.

There is a series of arguments that decentralization of governments enhances growth by improving allocation efficiency. However, the empirical studies have shown mixed results for industrialized and developing countries and some of them have demonstrated that there might be a threshold level of economic development below which decentralization is not effective. Developing and transition countries have developed a variety of forms of fiscal decentralization as a possible strategy to achieve effective and efficient governmental structures. A generalized principle of decentralization due to the country specific circumstances does not exist. Therefore, decentralization has taken place in different forms in various countries at different times, and even exactly the same extent of decentralization may have had different impacts under different conditions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the current state of the fiscal decentralization in Mongolia and to develop policy recommendations for the efficient and effective intergovernmental fiscal relations system for Mongolia. Within this perspective the analysis concentrates on the scope and structure of the public sector, the expenditure and revenue assignment as well as on the design of the intergovernmental transfer and sub-national borrowing. The study is based on data for twenty-one provinces and the capital city of Mongolia for the period from 2000 to 2009. As a former socialist country Mongolia has had a highly centralized governmental sector. The result of the analysis below revealed that the Mongolia has introduced a number of decentralization measures, which followed a top down approach and were slowly implemented without any integrated decentralization strategy in the last decade. As a result Mongolia became de-concentrated state with fiscal centralization. The revenue assignment is lacking a very important element, for instance significant revenue autonomy given to sub-national governments, which is vital for the efficient service delivery at the local level. According to the current assignments of the expenditure and revenue responsibilities most of the provinces are unable to provide a certain national standard of public goods supply. Hence, intergovernmental transfers from the central jurisdiction to the sub-national jurisdictions play an important role for the equalization of the vertical and horizontal imbalances in Mongolia. The critical problem associated with intergovernmental transfers is that there is not a stable, predictable and transparent system of transfer allocation. The amount of transfers to sub-national governments is determined largely by political decisions on ad hoc basis and disregards local differences in needs and fiscal capacity. Thus a fiscal equalization system based on the fiscal needs of the provinces should be implemented. The equalization transfers will at least partly offset the regional disparities in revenues and enable the sub-national governments to provide a national minimum standard of local public goods.}, language = {en} } @article{LattemannChangFetscherinetal.2009, author = {Lattemann, Christoph and Chang, Julian and Fetscherin, Marc and McIntyre, John R. and Alon, Ilan}, title = {China Rules : Globalization and political transformation}, publisher = {Macmillan}, address = {United Kingdom}, pages = {291 S.}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Lattemann2009, author = {Lattemann, Christoph}, title = {Lu, Guanqiu}, isbn = {978-1847206367}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Lattemann2009, author = {Lattemann, Christoph}, title = {Liu, Yonghao}, isbn = {978-1847206367}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @book{HoeppnerSchultzWohlrath2009, author = {H{\"o}ppner, D{\"o}rte and Schultz, Christian and Wohlrath, Christin}, title = {Seeding university spin-outs: A campbrige experience}, isbn = {978-3-89936-799-7}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{HeinzeGeers2009, author = {Heinze, Priscilla and Geers, D.}, title = {Quality management in knowledge intensive business processes}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{HanfDautzenberger2009, author = {Hanf, Jon H. and Dautzenberger, Kirsti}, title = {Retail internationalization as a driver of global developments : the example of Central and Eastern Europe}, isbn = {978-0-566-08813-1}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{HanfDautzenbergGagalyuketal.2009, author = {Hanf, Jon H. and Dautzenberg, Kirsti and Gagalyuk, Taras and Belaya, Vera}, title = {Network approach to supply chain management : terms, scope of issues and lines of development}, issn = {1729-7427}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{Goetz2009, author = {G{\"o}tz, Klaus H.}, title = {How does the EU tick? : Five propositions on political time}, issn = {1350-1763}, doi = {10.1080/13501760802589214}, year = {2009}, abstract = {In what manner is political time institutionalized in the political system of the EU?

These perspectives tie in with diverse theoretical traditions in the study of the EU.
