Management operationeller Risiken in Banken
No full textIn den vergangenen Jahren haben Banken operationellen Risiken mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt als je zuvor. Ursache hierfür sind zum einen bedeutende Ausfälle, die das immense Verlustpotenzial dieser Risikokategorie aufzeigen: So musste Barings Insolvenz anmelden und die Allied Irish Bank ihr US-Geschäft überstürzt verkaufen. Zum anderen wurden einige Banken bei den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 schwer getroffen. Die neuen Basler Eigenkapitalregeln (Basel II) haben die Situation zusätzlich verschärft
Fairness im Unternehmen
No full text"Fühlen sich Mitarbeiter unfair behandelt, kann dies zu ernsten wirtschaftlichen folgen für das Unternehmen führen. Manche Mitarbeiter neigen dann zu Vergeltungshandlungen wie Diebstahl und Unterschlagung oder reduzieren ihre Arbeitsleistung. Um zu einer fairen Behandlung zu gelangen, muss als Erstes geklärt werden, weshalb Verhaltensweisen als unfair empfunden werden. Dabei wird zwischen Verteilungs-, Prozess- und Interaktionsfairness unterschieden." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku
Gender as a moderator of the fair process effect
No full textThis paper examines gender as a moderator of the fair-process effect in an ultimatum game setting. Results from games with 112 German high-school students support the hypothesis that fair procedures can decrease rejection behavior in unfair human allocation decisions. Furthermore, procedural fairness results in a statistically significant difference for women in accepting an unfair distribution. In contrast, procedural fairness appears to have no significant impact on men’s rejection behavior. However, we found no significant gender differences in the perception of procedural fairness. We conclude that, although men perceive procedural fairness similarly to women, this aspect is less important for determining their subsequent behavior.

When social accounts work: evidence from ultimatum games
Full text linkThis paper examines the mitigating effect of social accounts on retaliatory behavior in a miniultimatum game setting. Results from games with 108 German high school students support the hypothesis that an ex ante informational and sensitive message can decrease an individuals’ negative perception of an unfair offer and increase the acceptance of the outcome. Furthermore, the moderating effect of gender on retaliatory behavior is investigated. We show that an informational and sensitive message makes more of a difference for women in accepting unfair distributions than it does for men
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
