Tankred Deutsch wird ohne Vorwarnung aus seinem Trott gerissen, als seine Mutter ihren besten Freund mit einer Pfanne niederschlägt. Widerwillig muss sich Tankred durch das Wirrwarr der Familienhistorie sowie seiner Emotionen lavieren. Die Stasi, der Bruder, seine Freundin und Tankreds große Liebe Lejla lassen ihn zweifeln, das Leben zu leben, das er möchte. Was ihm bleibt, ist die Revolution!Kennen wir unsere Mitmenschen wirklich? Reden wir nur, um das Schweigen zu übertönen? Sollen wir unsere Nächsten mit unseren Sorgen und Nöten malträtieren oder besser vorgeben, es sei alles so, wie es sein sollte? Das ist es, was der Protagonist Tankred im Laufe der Geschichte erfährt.

Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Economics - International Economic Relations, grade: 1,7, http://www.uni-jena.de/, language: English, abstract: Since counterfeiting is an illicit business, quantitative approaches are limited. Additionally comprehensive quantitative research faces problems such as the high level of heterogeneity within the Chinese environment or political restrictions. Most counterfeiting research is based on personal interviews, observations, official records and data as well as publications of interest groups. Qualitative evaluation therefore seems the more effective methodological approach. Although the present study shows the results of quantitative research, the general methodology follows qualitative trajectories. The structure is divided into five main parts (Chapter 3 to Chapter 7) which combine descriptive and in the following, normative research. Chapter three introduces the impact of counterfeiting to highlight the up-to-date facts and importance of the issue. Chapter 4 to 6 represent the common market structure. They systematize the study into three main categories of research: environmental (economical, legal, political), supply side ("e;the counterfeiter"e;) and the demand side ("e;consumers"e;). Each research category is examined towards: relevant drivers, attributes, and containment options. Chapter seven gives a final summary and analyses future prospects.
