In meiner Dissertation befasse ich mich mit der Ausgestaltung und Wirkung von Corporate Foresight in der deutschen Investitionsguterindustrie. In einem ersten Schritt werden Forschungsfelder, die sich mit der Umfeldbeobachtung und Zukunftsorientierung von Unternehmen befassen, analysiert, um ausgehend von der bisherigen Forschung zu Corporate Foresight Forschungsdefizite zu analysieren. Theoretisch wird die Arbeit in den Dynamic Capabilities View integriert und erweitert diesen um eine explizite Zukunftsorientierung. Ausgehend von den theoretischen berlegungen und bisherigen Forschung werden drei empirische Erhebungen durchgefhrt. In der ersten Erhebung wurden sechs Unternehmen zur Ausgestaltung und Wirkung ihrer Corporate Foresight Aktivitten interviewt, woraufhin 247 Unternehmen telefonisch befragt wurden. In einer letzten Studie wurden 107 Unternehmen zur Wirkung ihrer Corporate Foresight Aktivitten befragt. Die Arbeit ist die erste grozahlige empirische Arbeit zu Ausgestaltung und Wirkung von Corporate Foresight.

The sensational critical biography of this phenomenal entrepreneur and his business practices - fully updated to cover Branson's recent ventures.No British tycoon is more popular, few claim to be richer and none has masterminded a more recognisable brand than Richard Branson. What is behind the success of the buccaneering balloonist, the tabloids' favourite celebrity nude, the 'grinning jumper' and the scourge of corporate goliaths?Helped by eyewitness accounts of more than 250 people with direct experience of Branson, Tom Bower has a uncovered a different tale to the one so eagerly promoted by Virgin's publicists. Here is the full story of Branson: his businesses, his friendships, his ambition, his law-breaking, his drug-taking, his bullying. From the cockpit of a balloon in the clouds to the centre of Branson's operations in his Holland Park home this book is an intimate scrutiny of exactly how Richard Branson created himself and sold himself. Tom Bower's biography reveals Branson to be a single-minded profiteer who, while occasionally generous to others, has a fixed purpose to enhance his family's wealth in secret off-shore trust funds. Instead of a glittering saint, Branson emerges as a devious actor, proud of plucking for his own profit the good ideas of others.From his quest to acquire the license for the National Lottery to his plans to launch space tourism with Virgin Galactic, this fully updated edition follows Branson's enterprises and investments up to the recent, failed bid for Northern Rock.

'I'm no angel.' Bernie Ecclestone Born into poverty, Bernie Ecclestone has made himself a billionaire by developing the world's second most popular sport - Formula One racing. Private, mysterious and some say sinister, the eighty-year-old criss-crosses the globe in his private jet, mixing with celebrities, statesmen and sporting heroes. His success is not just in creating a multibillion-pound global business but in resisting repeated attempts to snatch the glittering prize from his control. Ecclestone has never before revealed how he graduated from selling second-hand cars in London's notorious Warren Street to become the major player he is today. He has finally decided to reveal his secrets: the deals, the marriages, the disasters and the successes in Formula One racing, in Downing Street, in casinos, on yachts and in the air. Surprisingly, he has granted access to his inner circle to Tom Bower, described by Ecclestone as 'The Undertaker' - the man who buries reputations - and has given him access to all his friends and enemies. All have been told by Ecclestone, 'Tell him the truth, good or bad.' No Angel is a classic rags-to-riches story, the unique portrayal of a unique man and an intriguing insight into Formula One racing, business and the human spirit. Tom Bower is the author of nineteen books, including biographies of Robert Maxwell, Mohamed Fayed, Gordon Brown, Richard Branson, Conrad Black and more recently, Simon Cowell.
