Die Präsenz von Diversität in deutschem und amerikanischem Marketing – ein vergleichendes Literaturreview
No full textMit seinem Ursprung in den USA gewinnt Diversität auch in Deutschland immer mehr an Beachtung und Bedeutung. Bietet in den USA eher die ethnische Diversität den Einstieg in das Thema Diversity, ist es in Deutschland vornehmlich das Geschlecht. Ob Stellenausschreibungen, in denen explizit nach Personen mit Behinderung, verschiedener Nationalität oder nichtbinärer Geschlechtsidentität gesucht wird, Werbung, die gleichgeschlechtliche Familien oder Menschen unterschiedlicher Glaubensauslegung zeigt oder die Verpackungen und Firmenlogos, die während des Pride Month in Regenbogenfarben gestaltet werden – an vielen Stellen wird so auf Diversität aufmerksam gemacht. Diese Maßnahmen spiegeln nicht nur menschliche Vielfacht wider und erhöhen so das Bewusstsein dafür, die Ausrichtung von Marketingbereichen hin zu Diversity bietet aus verschiedenen Perspektiven auch einen Mehrwert für Unternehmen. Daher stellt sich die Frage, wie ausgeprägt Diversität im Marketing thematisiert wird.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, die in Marketingliteratur thematisierten Diversitätsdimensionen darzustellen und die Entwicklung in Deutschland und den USA zu vergleichen. Dazu wird die folgende Forschungsfrage gestellt: Wie gestaltet sich die Entwicklung der Präsenz von Diversität im deutschen Marketing im Vergleich zu den USA, dargestellt durch Marketingliteratur? Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurde eine systematische Literaturreview anhand von deutscher und amerikanischer Marketingliteratur durchgeführt. Spezifisch wurden für die Literaturreview in verschiedenen Datenbanken nach definierten Kriterien recherchiert und gefundene Marketingliteratur auf die thematisierten Kerndimensionen der Diversität hin untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden sowohl zwischen den beiden Ländern verglichen als auch die Entwicklung in der Gesellschaft im Vergleich zu der Entwicklung in der Marketingliteratur. Die Untersuchung und Vergleiche haben gezeigt, dass gegensätzlich zu der Vermutung, dass Diversität in der Marketingliteratur der USA deutlich präsenter ist, es tatsächlich in deutscher Marketingliteratur häufiger thematisiert wird. In Deutschland liegt der Fokus dabei klar auf dem Bereich Personal und der Dimension Alter. Weiterführende Forschung in diesem Bereich könnte auf Fachzeitschriften ausgerichtet sein.Originating in the USA, diversity is also gaining more and more attention and importance in Germany. Whereas in the U.S. ethnic diversity is more likely to be the entry point to the topic of diversity, in Germany it is primarily gender. Whether it's job advertisements explicitly looking for people with disabilities, different nationalities or non-binary gender identities, advertising that shows same-sex families or people of different faiths, or the packaging and company logos that are designed in rainbow colors during Pride Month - many places draw attention to diversity in this way. These measures not only reflect human diversity and raise awareness of it, but the orientation of marketing areas toward diversity also offers added value for companies from different perspectives. Therefore, the question arises how pronounced diversity is addressed in marketing.
The aim of this paper is to present the diversity dimensions discussed in marketing literature and to compare the development in Germany and the USA. For this purpose, the following research question is posed: How does the development of the presence of diversity in German marketing compared to the U.S., as represented by marketing literature? To answer the research question, a systematic literature review was conducted based on German and U.S. marketing literature. Specifically, for the literature review, various databases were searched according to defined criteria and marketing literature found was examined for the core dimensions of diversity addressed. The results were compared between the two countries as well as the development in society compared to the development in marketing literature. The study and comparisons showed that, contrary to the as-sumption that diversity is significantly more present in the marketing literature in the U.S., it is actually addressed more frequently in German marketing literature. In Germany, the focus is clearly on the area of personnel and the dimension of age. Further research in this area could be directed toward trade journals
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
