The European market presents numerous opportunities and at the same time challenges for business enterprises. In this anthology, lecturers and researchers at Saarland University’s Europa-Institut expound on the latest findings and trends of their most important research topics. They discuss the present state of the art in European management, focusing on the areas of marketing & commerce and organisation & human resource management. The structure of this book ist modelled on that of the first two volumes, the underlying concept of which has shaped the face of business teaching and resarch at the Europa-Institut in Saarbrücken. Important environmental changes are identified and analysed from an outside-inside perspective, and are taken as a basis for formulating strategic competitive directions. The inside-outside perspective considers enterprises from the point of view of their organisation and human resources. "Strategic Management" addresses researchers, students and executives in the areas of international management, business administration, organisation, marketing, commerce and human resource management. Univ.-Professor Dr. Joachim Zentes holds the chair of Business Administration, especially Foreign Trade and International Management at Saarland University, Germany. He is director of the Institute for Commerce and International Marketing and director of the Europa-Institut at Saarland University. Univ.-Professor Dr. Christian Scholz holds the chair of Business Administration, expecially Organisation, Human Resource Management and Information Management, and is also director of the Europa-Institut at Saarland University, Germany.

This book builds upon that classic work by providing an analysis of the alternative approaches to strategic decision-making under such uncertainty. It covers what uncertainty is, why it is important, and what connections it has to business and related fields, culminating in a new and comprehensive typology and a valuable guide for how to appropriately address various types of uncertainties, even under AI.

Strategic Culture and Italy’s Military Behavior Between Pacifism and Realpolitik


Free Download Paolo Rosa, "Strategic Culture and Italy’s Military Behavior: Between Pacifism and Realpolitik"
English | ISBN: 1498522815 | 2016 | 158 pages | EPUB | 588 KB
Italy, although it considers itself to be a middle-sized power on par with France, the United Kingdom, and Germany, has been incapable of playing an international role comparable to theirs, instead keeping a low-profile foreign policy. This has not been due to any material constraints-Italy’s profile has remained consistently low, through economic times both good and bad-but rather to the country’s strategic culture, a mixture of realpolitik and pacifist tendencies. This book sets out to analyze the influence of Italy’s strategic culture on its foreign policy. It conducts an exploratory case study to show if hypotheses generated by the strategic culture approach can shed some light on the puzzling Italian behavior in the international arena (puzzling because Italy shows a less assertive foreign policy vis-à-vis other middle powers in the same rank). The first chapter considers the main interpretations of Italian foreign policy and their limitations. The second and third chapters review the literature on strategic culture, stressing its utility for the Italian case. The fourth chapter describes the country’s strategic culture through the Liberal, Fascist, and Republican periods, and the fifth chapter analyzes the influence of ideational factors on Italy’s behavior abroad. Conclusions sum up the various emerging evidences. Scholars of political science, international relations, strategic studies, and comparative politics will find this work to be of interest.
