Inhaltsangabe:Introduction: The future of many firms in the aerospace sector is uncertain. Factors like the financial crisis have made the industry unstable. Companies that are unable to adapt to different markets have difficulties to survive. Hence, engineering products nowadays demand to acquire a knowledge-based perspective of work like peer production or mass collaboration , to promote open management standards and to focus on services with more value-added, which means that companies need to reeducate itself and to make constant investments in intangible resources. Furthermore, the new competitive landscape [ ] demands that companies are aware of emerging driving forces like globalization, more sophisticated customers and competitors, increased technological capabilities, shortening of product life cycles and diversification. These issues emphasize the demand of flexibility and speed in responding to fast-changing environments. In addition, one of the biggest problems that the firm where I worked for one and a half year, and to which this study is dedicated, are facing is the asymmetrical changes affecting service markets. This firm turned from being highly competitive, based in quality management and technical expertise to be unable to deploy its expertise in other segments. Many competitors acknowledged earlier that the market is changing and achieved to seize a better position. Consequently, the firm was prejudiced. This master thesis aims to build a framework for a systematic assess of professional service markets, using the engineering approach of Bornemann and Reinhardt. It is based on the theory of the structural capital and a strategic process to appropriate required capabilities in the target markets. At the present, what this company lacks are not the physical resources or technical competences, but capabilities that enable the firm to leverage new competences to address new markets. Service industries, including engineering services providers (hereafter ESP), have the particularity that the core competences and the critical success factors are based on intangible assets. Hence, this thesis shall contribute to a development of a strategic view of intangibles. Building this framework will help managers to understand the process of developing and formulating an effective strategy, which meets the industry demands, and consequently, it will show how to react to new business paradigms. As a starting point it can be stated, [...]
The analysis of energy systems is of paramount importance in modern societies, since it is fundamental to guarantee a sustainable economic development. It combines technical and economic research with a specific focus on quantitative modelling, in order to optimize the modalities of energy demand and supply globally. The book covers major advanced topics related to the analysis of energy by considering different aspects, namely management, planning and policies. The most recent trends, such as smart grids, transition from fossil fuels to renewables based energy systems and distributed generation, are also discussed in this book. Intended to be a collection of various contributions from experts all around the world, it includes latest research results, innovations and methodologies about the analysis of energy systems. The book also focuses to contribute to the current debate related to the evolution of energy systems, by discussing in an open way the pro’s and con’s without any pre-constitute point of view. Title is aimed to be a reference for the academic community, students and professionals with a wider interdisciplinary background. Key Features: Presents integration of renewable sources with conventional energy systems. Topic is addressed from a multidisciplinary point of view, i.e. economy, technical, modelling, planning. Investigates management and planning aspects of future energy supplies. Multidimensional nature of energy systems is highlighted and discussed. Contributes towards implementing policy measures to reduce primary energy consumptions and carbon footprint.
Identifies and describes specific government assistance opportunities such as loans, grants, counseling, and procurement contracts available under many agencies and programs.

South Asia’s Path to Sustainable and Inclusive Growth highlights the remarkable development progress in South Asia and how the region can advance in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Steps include a renewed push toward greater trade and financial openness, while responding proactively to the distributional impact and dislocation associated with this structural transformation. Promoting a green and digital recovery remains important. The book explores ways to accelerate the income convergence process in the region, leveraging on the still-large potential demographic dividend in most of the countries. These include greater economic diversification and export sophistication, trade and foreign direct investment liberalization and participation in global value chains amid shifting regional and global conditions, financial development, and investment in human capital.
