By focusing on the CDM as a particular instance of private authority in global climate governance, this article analyses the consequences associated with the delegation of authority to private actors. The article critically assesses the role of private auditing corporations, labelled Designated Operational Entities, in the regulatory framework of the CDM and points to serious trade-offs which accompany the privatisation of authority. The article's findings suggest that the promise of innovative modes of governance to increase the effectiveness of international regulation is seriously compromised by the profit-seeking behaviour of private actors.

Against this background, the authors develop a conjoint variant based on a completely individualised conjoint design. More concretely, the new approach not only individualises the attributes, but also the attribute levels. The results of a comprehensive empirical study yield a significantly higher validity than existing standardised-level conjoint approaches.

To understand how responsive public managers are to performance feedback, alternative sources of performance information need to be taken into account. A literature review suggests considering two important sources of nonroutine feedback: organizational insiders and relevant external stakeholders. Using survey data from German local government, this article shows that public managers prefer to use nonroutine feedback over routine data from performance reports. Furthermore, a regression analysis indicates that different sources of performance information require different determinants to trigger their use.

Compared with the vast amount of studies concerning environmentally conscious consumer behaviour, relatively little is known about socially conscious consumption. The present paper focuses on fair consumption as an important aspect of social consumption. In our study, consciousness for fair consumption (CFC) is defined as a latent disposition of consumers to prefer products that are produced and traded in compliance with fair labour and business practices. A scale to measure CFC was conceptualized and tested in three independent empirical studies. Two studies were conducted at European universities (2010 and 2012) and used 352 and 362 undergraduate business students respectively. The third study, conducted in 2011, used 141 employees at a European university. The results confirmed the reliability and validity of the new CFC scale across samples. While being moderately related to other aspects of sustainable consumption such as ecological concern and moral reasoning, CFC was significantly distinct from those concepts. Most importantly, it was established that the CFC, as measured by the new CFC scale, is a strong determinant of consumption of fair trade products that has been neglected in existing research.}, language = {en} } @article{MietznerKamprath2013, author = {Mietzner, Dana and Kamprath, Martin}, title = {A competence portfolio for professionals in the creative industries}, series = {Creativity and innovation management}, volume = {22}, journal = {Creativity and innovation management}, number = {3}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {Hoboken}, issn = {0963-1690}, doi = {10.1111/caim.12026}, pages = {280 -- 294}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Within the last decade, the role of the Creative Industries has grown to become an important part of the economic system.

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.

An error-management climate, as a component of the organizational climate, is said to be "high" when errors are accepted as part of everyday life as long as they are learned from and not repeated. Alternatively, the error-management climate is said to be an "error averse" climate when discovery of errors invokes the laying of blame on those admitting to or found committing errors. We examine the effects of this error-management climate in a professional services environment where uncorrected errors may have severe consequences and discovery of work errors is crucial for organizational success. We find that error-management climate affects organizational members' beliefs about what other members will report about discovered self-made errors, with a high error-management (versus error averse) climate leading to greater reporting willingness. We also find a significant interaction with a key contextual variable, error type (conceptual or calculation), that suggests the effect is more significant for conceptual errors than calculation errors. Our findings suggest that an organization's error-management climate is an important factor in promoting ethical behavior of employees, especially junior employees, carrying out routine tasks whose failure to report errors discovered incidental to those tasks may have severe implications for their organizations.}, language = {en} } @article{LorenzCarlRempe2013, author = {Lorenz-Carl, Ulrike and Rempe, Martin}, title = {Bringing agency (black) into african regionalism}, isbn = {978-1-4094-6510-2}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @book{LorenzCarl2013, author = {Lorenz-Carl, Ulrike}, title = {Mapping agency : comparing regionalisms in Africa}, editor = {Lorenz-Carl, Ulrike and Rempe, Martin}, publisher = {Ashgate}, address = {Farnham, England, Burlington, Vt}, isbn = {978-1-4094-6510-2}, pages = {191 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{Toennies2013, author = {T{\"o}nnies, Sibylle}, title = {Wider den westlichen Sonderweg : Globaler Melting Pot statt Clash of Civilizations}, isbn = {978-3-941880-71-9}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @article{Dmitrieva2013, author = {Dmitrieva, Anna}, title = {The influence of Russia's domestic politics on the EU-Russia relations}, isbn = {978-3-941880-67-2}, year = {2013}, language = {en} } @misc{KlingelhoeferMueller2013, author = {Klingelh{\"o}fer, Tristan and M{\"u}ller, Jochen}, title = {Politicised, but not depillarised? : coalition formation in the Dutch Provinces}, address = {Potsdam}, pages = {29 S.}, year = {2013}, language = {en} }
