Robert Wagner – författare

In this moving memoir, Robert J. Wagner opens his heart to share the romances, the drama and the humor of an incredible life. Under the mentorship of stars like Spencer Tracy, he became a salaried actor in Hollywood's studio system among other hot actors of the moment such as his friends Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis. Wagner began to appear in a number of films alongside the most beautiful starlets. As his career blossomed he met the woman who would change his life forever, Natalie Wood. They fell instantly and deeply in love and stayed together until the stress of their careers drove them to divorce.Trying to forget the pain, he made more movies and spent his time in Europe with the likes of Steve McQueen, Sophia Loren, Peter Sellers, Laurence Olivier, David Niven, Liz Taylor and Joan Collins. He would meet and marry the beautiful former model and actress Marion Marshall. Together they had a daughter, and made their way back to America, where he found himself at the beginning of a new era in Hollywood - the blossoming of television.Despite his new found success, his marriage to Marion fell apart. He looked no further than Natalie Wood, for whom he still pined. To the world's surprise, they fell in love all over again. Their life together was cut tragically short, though, when Wood died after falling from their yacht. For the first time, Wagner writes about that tremendously painful time. After a serious bout with depression, he finally resurfaced and eventually married Jill St. John, who helped keep his family and his fractured heart together.

In Zeiten schnellen technologischen Wandels und in einem stets dynamischen Wettbewerbsumfeld versuchen Unternehmen durch Innovationen einen komparativen Vorteil zu erlangen, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Eine Möglichkeit, Zugang zu dem für die Innovationen benötigten Wissen zu erhalten, bietet die Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen oder Forschungseinrichtungen in Form der kooperativen Technologieentwicklung. Ein diesbezüglich relevantes Konzept ist das der Absorptive Capacity. Es versucht zu erklären, warum Unternehmen unterschiedlich leicht Zugang zu potenziell für Innovationen relevantem Wissen finden und warum Unternehmen dieses Wissen teilweise mehr, teilweise weniger effizient umsetzen können. Obwohl bereits zahlreiche Forschungsbeiträge theoretische Zusammenhänge der Absorptive Capacity genauer beleuchtet haben, wurde den tatsächlich zur Anwendung kommenden Praktiken bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt. An dieser Lücke setzt diese Arbeit an und fokussiert so die Praktiken der Absorptive Capacity.
