'Microfoundations' has become prominent in the discourse of management scholars. But what is it and how does it matter? This Element provides a characterization of microfoundations based on classical work on the methodology of social science and documents and discusses its manifestations in management research over the last one and a half decades. It also covers the relation of microfoundations to multilevel research, criticisms of microfoundations, and empirical research strategies for microfoundations.

Explaining the physics and characteristics of power semiconductor devices, this book presents an overview of various classes of power semiconductors. It provides insight into how they work and the characteristics of the various components from the viewpoint of the user, going through all modern power semiconductor device types. The physics are expl

The global business environment is becoming increasingly volatile and unpredictable, reflecting the consequences of operating in a dynamic and complex business environment in constant flux with the potential of extreme outcomes. As a consequence, corporate performance data generally displays very few high-performers and a fat tail of many underperforming firms. This business context means that contemporary managers need to be equipped to deal effectively with implied uncertainty, abrupt events, and extreme outcome effects. This volume presents a number of promising ideas about how to deal with the strategic challenges of global business turbulence, as presented at the 2018 EURAM Conference held in Reykjavik, Iceland. There is a need for effective adaptive strategies to survive and prosper in the unpredictable contexts of corporate activities. The various contributions are grounded in prior strategy research but adopt multiple methodological approaches to engage diverse relevant knowledge that can advance this increasingly important field of study. The book presents new perspectives in the study of responsive adaptive processes in organizational settings that has high relevance for social science researchers with interests in these issues. Intelligent and curious managers and management students can likewise gain access to new ideas that may inspire their current thinking on effective organizational practices.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of power semiconductors, ubiquitous devices that play an ever more important role in technology and in our lives. After a careful introduction to the fundamentals of semiconductor physics and a discussion of the pn-junction, the most commonly used power devices are discussed in detail (the pin-diode, the thyristor, the GTO and GCT, the power MOSFET, and the IGBT). The components are explained both in terms of their detailed behavior under a wide range of operating conditions and their relative strengths and weaknesses in power electronics applications. Selecting a suitable power semiconductor component for a targeted application is often a delicate task. This book provides an objective basis with which such decisions can be made to assure maximum performance, high reliability, and minimum cost. Written by one of the recognized experts in the field, the book includes both the basic foundations to be used in undergraduate and graduate level courses, as well as an insight into power semiconductors that professional electrical engineers will find extremely useful.

This volume embarks on a research journey that focuses on the processes of economic and social value creation in the 21st century. Given that value creation is increasingly organized in networks consisting of businesses, governments, academia, civil society, and other societal stakeholders, the contributions address various aspects of and challenges in governing cooperation in value-creating networks. Exploring topics such as relational rationality, cultural complexity, shared value creation, and relational contracts, this book reveals the mechanisms and processes involved in governing the complexities of inter-sectoral relationships in a networked society. Given its scope and focus, this book will appeal to scholars of economics, economic sociology, organizational studies, and related fields.

Eine großangelegte Studie hat die Verhaltensorientierung als eines der zehn wichtigsten Zukunftsthemen im Controlling identifiziert. Die Psychologie hat schon lange herausgestellt, dass "richtige" Menschen nur eingeschränkt den Annahmen des ökonomischen Grundmodells entsprechen und in erheblichem Maße kognitiv begrenzt sind. In der Betriebswirtschaft hat sich dieses Wissen trotz seiner erheblichen Tragweite bisher jedoch nur zögerlich durchgesetzt. Doch auch Manager sind - wie menschliche Akteure generell - nicht frei von Opportunismus, auch sie unterliegen kognitiven Begrenzungen. Dieser Band macht deutlich, wie wichtig und nützlich psychologische Erkenntnisse für die Unternehmenssteuerung sind. Sie können nicht nur erklären, warum es trotz aller technischen Controlling-Instrumente und Informationen zu signifikanten Fehlentscheidungen in Unternehmen kommen kann, warum komplexe Instrumente selten funktionieren oder warum wir in den Unternehmen häufig Instrumentenruinen vorfinden. Eine explizite Berücksichtigung psychologischer Erkenntnisse eröffnet auch die Möglichkeit zu einer weiteren Verbesserung des Managements und des Controllings. Sie erschließt eine neue Ebene, Effektivität und Effizienz zu steigern.
