Begrifflichkeiten in der Wettbewerberforschung : ein Ordnungsversuch

Der vorliegende Artikel bezieht sich auf die unterschiedlichen Begrifflichkeiten, die im Umfeld der Wettbewerberforschung in der Literatur Verwendung finden. Neben den Begriffen des angloamerikanischen Sprachraums (Competitive Intelligence, Competitor Intelligence und Competitor Analyse) existieren für den deutschsprachigen Raum (Wettbewerber-, Konkurrenten-, Wettbewerbs- und Konkurrenzanalyse) ebenfalls verschiedenartige Begriffe, denen in der Literatur eine häufig unterschiedliche Verwendung zu Teil wird. Dieser Artikel baut einen Ordnungsansatz auf, der die angesprochenen Begrifflichkeiten in eine Struktur bringt, um somit eine klare inhaltliche Trennung der einzelnen Begriffe sowie eine in Relation bringende Darstellung aufbauen zu können. Dies ermöglicht eine ambiguitätsfreie Verwendung innerhalb der wissenschaftlichen Arbeit durch definitorisch fixierte Begriffsinhalte.

Automatic classification of scientific records using the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD)

The following paper deals with an automatic text classification method which does not require training documents. For this method the German Subject Heading Authority File (SWD), provided by the linked data service of the German National Library is used. Recently the SWD was enriched with notations of the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). In consequence it became possible to utilize the subject headings as textual representations for the notations of the DDC. Basically, we we derive the classification of a text from the classification of the words in the text given by the thesaurus. The method was tested by classifying 3826 OAI-Records from 7 different repositories. Mean reciprocal rank and recall were chosen as evaluation measure. Direct comparison to a machine learning method has shown that this method is definitely competitive. Thus we can conclude that the enriched version of the SWD provides high quality information with a broad coverage for classification of German scientific articles.

Re-employment hazard of displaced German workers: evidence from the GSOEP

This study investigates the re-employment hazard of displaced German workers using the first fourteen sweeps of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) data. As well as parametric and non-parametric discrete-time specifications for the baseline hazard, the study employs alternative mixing distributions to account for unobserved heterogeneity. Findings of the study suggest negative duration dependence, even after accounting for unobserved heterogeneity. In terms of covariate effects, those at the lower end of the skills ladder, those who had been working in manufacturing and those with previous experience of non-employment are found to have lower hazard of exit via reemployment.

Literature Review WM9: Part II - light goods vehicles in urban areas, carried as as part Work Module 1, Green Logistics Project

LGVs are of ever-greater importance in terms of the final delivery of many time-critical, high value goods and are also widely used in industries that provide a wide range of critical support services. There are almost five times as many LGVs as there are HGVs (goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight) currently licensed in Britain. The LGV fleet in Britain is growing at a faster rate than the HGV fleet, and the LGV fleet travels more than twice as many vehicle kilometres each year than the total HGV fleet. LGVs perform a far greater proportion of their total distance travelled in urban areas than HGVs, and consume 25% of the total diesel and 3% of the total petrol used by all motorised road transport vehicles in Britain.
