Transcript Verlag Programming Creativity: Semantics and
Book SynopsisWhat does "creativity" mean in the context of IT and what happens when IT acts in its name? Jan Sebastian Zipp examines the concept of creativity in large IT companies in times of digital change, including new ways of working or potential artificial creativity with no human interaction. Drawing on constitutive elements like Silicon Valley or its connection to counterculture, his analysis of the representation and organisation of creativity as a social practice provides insights into the inherent logic of the creativity narrative of IT. This study contributes vital foundations for a critical engagement with today's prevailing understanding of the concept of creativity.

Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften Hedonische Immobilienbewertung: Eine Empirische
Book SynopsisNach Boomjahren in den 1980er Jahren kam es in der Schweiz zu einem eigentlichen Crash der Immobilienmärkte, von dem sich die Preise bis gegen Ende der 1990er Jahre nicht erholten. Seither haben die Preise in einigen Regionen wieder deutlich zugelegt, so dass in jüngster Zeit Warnungen vor Überhitzungen der Märkte aufgekommen sind. Um die Entwicklungen auf den Immobilienmärkten verstehen zu können, müssen unterschiedliche Qualitäten der Liegenschaften berücksichtigt werden, was mittels analytisch-statistischer Methoden auf der Grundlage von hedonischen Modellen möglich ist. Auch bei der Konstruktion von Preisindizes also der dynamischen Betrachtung sind den qualitativen Aspekten durch eine geeignete Konstruktion Rechnung zu tragen. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich die Immobilienpreise im Zeitverlauf sowohl regional als auch bezüglich anderer Qualitäten massiv unterschiedlich entwickeln und dass, wenn überhaupt, nur in einigen wenigen Regionen der Schweiz Mitte 2005 Anzeichen einer Überhitzung der Märkte bestehen.

Central European University Press Capitalism from Outside?: Economic Cultures in
Book SynopsisEconomists, historians, sociologists and anthropologists of the region studied transnational cultural encounters in the post-communist economies by scoping on smaller and bigger firms in the new market conditions, governmental bodies that shaped economic policies and regulations, and the academic settings of economic science. Producers and mediators of economic culture are examined in various contexts. Comparative studies are offered in three areas: entrepreneurship, governance of economic change, and economic knowledge. Case studies analyze country specific issues. The numbers and scope of encounters between the economic actors of the "East" and the "West" - which have dramatically increased during the past two decades - are scrutinized. Chapters in the volume reveal how indigenous actors - workers, entrepreneurs, government officials, economists, think tank analysts etc. - in Eastern Europe, select (accept, adjust and mix) certain cultural packages while rejecting others. Although cultural exchanges are rarely symmetric, there is little to prove that "strong Western" culture devours (civilizes) the "weak Eastern" one, or "clashes of civilizations" drive capitalist transformations in the region.Trade Review"The impressive international team of contributors has done a good job. The case studies on the introduction of western banking institutions and culture to various eastern European countries, entrepreneurship, privatization of brewing, transmittal and absorption of western norms, and the adjustment of eastern economics to modern western trends are all highly interesting and convincing on the topic of the 'hybridization' process. As the editors sum up in the prologue, 'the nascent capitalism in the region is much less driven from outside, and its local actors are much more active and inventive' than generally thought. Although cultural exchange was often asymmetric, the authors think that it would be a grave simplifi cation to talk about a ‘strong Western’ culture that devours the ‘weak Eastern’ culture'." * Slavic Review *Table of ContentsContents; Prologue PART 1.
