During the 21st century business environments have become more complex and dynamic than ever before. Companies operate in a world of change influenced by globalisation, volatile markets, legal changes and technical progress. As a result, they have to handle growing volumes of data and therefore require fast storage, reliable data access, intelligent retrieval of information and automated decision-making mechanisms, all provided at the highest level of service quality. Successful enterprises are aware of these challenges and efficiently respond to the dynamic environment in which their business operates.Business Intelligence (BI) and Performance Management (PM) offer solutions to these challenges and provide techniques to enable effective business change. The important aspects of both topics are discussed within this state-of-the-art volume. It covers the strategic support, business applications, methodologies and technologies from the field, and explores the benefits, issues and challenges of each. Issues are analysed from many different perspectives, ranging from strategic management to data technologies, and the different subjects are complimented and illustrated by numerous examples of industrial applications. Contributions are authored by leading academics and practitioners representing various universities, research centres and companies worldwide. Their experience covers multiple disciplines and industries, including finance, construction, logistics, and public services, amongst others.Business Intelligence and Performance Management is a valuable source of reference for graduates approaching MSc or PhD programs and for professionals in industry researching in the fields of BI and PM for industrial application.

Schwules Theater, Lesbentheater, weiblicher Punk, schiefe Kunst und Cabaret: Theater prägt die LGBTQI*-Kultur im Deutschland der 1970er und 1980er Jahre. Auf Frauenfesten und in der Tuntenkultur, in Protestperformances und Performancekunst, auf öffentlichen Toiletten und Hinterzimmer-Bühnen werden ganz unterschiedliche Formen der theatralen Darstellung eingesetzt, um Sexualitäten und Geschlechter jenseits der heteronormativen Matrix sichtbar und erfahrbar zu machen. Das Wirkungsspektrum reicht dabei von subversiver Parodie über politische Agitation bis zum Spiel mit der vollständigen Illusion.Den Theaterbegriff versehen wir im Titel des Bandes mit dem Gender-Sternchen, um einerseits die Offenheit des Begriffs für unterschiedliche, teils widersprüchliche Vorstellungen von Theater zu unterstreichen und um andererseits die genuine Verbindung von Theater mit queerer Kultur und Theorie zu betonen.Dieser Band möchte einen ersten Überblick über ein bisher wenig beschriebenes Feld geben. Die Beiträge dokumentieren die vielfältigen theatralen Auseinandersetzungen mit Sexualität und Geschlecht in den westdeutschen Emanzipationsbewegungen, die wesentlich zur Herausbildung der freien Theaterszene beitrugen und somit wichtige ästhetische und politische Referenzpunkte für zeitgenössische Theater-, Tanz- und Performancepraxis darstellen. Sie zeigen aber auch die Auseinandersetzungen mit Geschlecht und Sexualität im künstlerischen und gesellschaftlichen Underground der DDR. Und schließlich blicken sie auf Travestie- und Cabaret-Kultur, um die Bedeutung von Theater für trans*-Personen dieser Zeit zu verdeutlichen.In wissenschaftlichen Beiträgen, Zeitzeug*innen-Interviews und durch den Abdruck bislang unveröffentlichten Quellenmaterials (u. a. zu Unterste Stufe und Hibaré) werden in diesem Band unterschiedliche Aspekte dieser Zeit schlaglichtartig beleuchtet und dabei queere Methoden und Perspektiven erprobt, die in der deutschsprachigen Theaterwissenschaft bisher ein Forschungsdesiderat bilden.Mit Beiträgen von Sigrid Grajek, JohJac Kamermans, Renate Klett, Kata Krasznahorkai, Kirsten Maar, Markues, Peter Rausch, Jayrôme C.
