Book SynopsisThis book presents criteria and recommendations for successful negotiations. The System of Negotiations, which was developed on a scientific basis for this purpose, clearly illustrates the most important steps, tools and applications. By using game theory and behavioral economics, the success of negotiations in purchasing can be systematically maximized. At the same time, transparency and fairness offer a high level of acceptance among negotiating partners. To this end, numerous practical examples are used to show how contracts can be awarded in the event of competition between suppliers, and how various auction formats and differentiated communication can be used to achieve optimal savings potential. Also for situations where the supplier is a monopolist, ways are described to avoid being at the mercy of pricing power.

Book SynopsisÜber Jahrhunderte hinweg war es Aufgabe der Logistik, Güter aller Art zu Lande, zu Wasser und in der Luft zu ihren Bestimmungsorten zu transportieren. Mit Beginn des 3. Jahrtausends erweitert sich der Kompetenzbereich der Logistikindustrie auf alle bewegten Objekte, ob materieller oder immaterieller Natur. Dabei wird es in Umkehrung der traditionellen Logik zunehmend sogar Absicht der Logistik sein, Transporte von Gütern und anderen materiellen Gegenständen zu vermeiden, um die Belastung für Mensch und Umwelt zu minimieren. Digitale Technologien, neue Antriebssysteme und innovative Geschäftsmodelle werden zu einer Logistik führen, die sich nicht als Bremse, sondern als Schaltzentrale für die umweltbewusste Steuerung der Versorgung der Bevölkerung mit Gütern, Rohstoffen, Energie und Informationen präsentiert.Die Beiträge dieses Buches analysieren anschaulich die anstehenden Veränderungen und loten zukunftsweisende Perspektiven für die Logistikindustrie aus.Table of ContentsDer Coronafaktor: Ein Virus als Initiator eines tiefgreifenden Umbruchs.- Der Klimafaktor: Erderwärmung als Treiber des ökologischen Umbaus der Wirtschaft.- Der Technikfaktor: Plattformen, Künstliche Intelligenz, Autonomie & Co. als Initialzündung einer Revolution in der Logistik.
