Das Buch beschreibt die K-Methode, die von den Autoren entwickelt wurde. Die K-Methode dient dazu, ein komplexes Portfolio von zeichnungsgebundenen Materialien einer Einkaufskategorie (z.B. Etiketten) preislich mit Lieferanten zu verhandeln und zu verwalten. Die Grundidee besteht darin, dass nicht jedes einzelne Material aufgrund seiner einzigartigen Spezifikation einen eigenen Preis erhält, sondern dass statt der Materialien nur einzelne Spezifikationsmerkmale bepreist werden. Dadurch erhält man eine mit dem Lieferanten vereinbarte Preisformel, mit der man zukünftige Materialien mit beliebiger Spezifikation von dem Lieferanten beziehen kann, bei denen durch die Preisformel der Einstandspreis bereits bestimmt und gültig ist.

The book describes the K-Method which has been developed by the authors. The purpose of the K-Method is to negotiate and administrate a complex portfolio of customised materials, all belonging to the same purchasing group (e.g. labels). The underlying idea is to agree prices for specification features, instead of giving each material an individual price based on its unique specification. By doing so, a price formula will be agreed between the buyer and supplier which even defines prices of future materials with any kind of specification.

We are living in the era of digital transformation. Computers are rapidly becoming the most important tool for companies, science, society, and indeed our everyday life. We all need a basic understanding of Computer Science to make sense of the world, to make decisions, and to improve our lives.Yet there are many misunderstandings about Computer Science. The reason is that it is a nascent discipline that has evolved rapidly and had to reinvent itself several times over the last 100 years – from the beginnings of scientific computing to the modern era of smartphones and the cloud.This book gives an intuitive introduction to the foundations and main concepts of Computer Science. It describes the basic ideas of solving problems with algorithms, modern data-driven approaches, and artificial intelligence (AI). It also provides many examples that require no background in technology.This book is directed toward teenagers who may wonder whether they should major in Computer Science, though it will also appeal to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art of Computer Science and modern information technology. Of course, not everyone must become a computer expert, but everyone should take advantage of and understand the innovations and advances of modern technology.
