Innovation spielt eine entscheidende Rolle für die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von Unternehmen in Hochlohnländern wie Deutschland. Deutsche industrielle KMU stehen unter erheblichem Innovationsdruck, um ihren Vorsprung gegenüber Wettbewerbern aus aufstrebenden Märkten zu behaupten. Diese Herausforderung unterstreicht die Notwendigkeit robuster Innovationspraktiken, insbesondere in technologieorientierten Branchen. Der Autor, der auf eigene Erfahrungen als Inhaber-Geschäftsführer in diesem Sektor zurückgreift, untersucht das Open‑Innovation‑Paradigma als transformierenden Ansatz. Dieses Paradigma begegnet den inhärenten Ressourcenbeschränkungen von KMU, indem es externes Wissen, Netzwerke und Kollaborationsplattformen nutzt. Durch eine kritische Analyse von Innovationskultur, Finanzierung, Intellectual‑Property‑Management und Erfolgsmessung in verschiedenen Branchen bietet das Buch wertvolle Einblicke in die Überwindung von Herausforderungen und die Förderung nachhaltigen Wachstums. Es vermittelt eine ausgewogene Perspektive zwischen theoretischen Rahmenkonzepten und praktikablen Strategien für KMU.Der AutorMarc Vathauer hat einen Masterabschluss in Betriebswirtschaftslehre und begann seine Karriere im Automobilsektor bei einem multinationalen Unternehmen. Im Jahr 2006 trat er in das familiengeführte Unternehmen MSF‑Vathauer Antriebstechnik GmbH &amp; Co. KG ein, ein in Deutschland ansässiges KMU, das auf Antriebstechnik und Automatisierung spezialisiert ist. Als Geschäftsführer hat er Innovationsinitiativen vorangetrieben und zahlreiche Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte geleitet. Parallel zu seiner Tätigkeit in der Geschäftsführung promovierte er an der University of Portsmouth im Vereinigten Königreich. Dr. Vathauer ist ein anerkannter Experte für industrielle Innovation und tritt häufig als Sprecher auf Konferenzen und in akademischen Fachforen auf.Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt. 
 This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.

'An extraordinary history of the perils and promise of every breath we take' - James Nestor, New York Times bestselling author of Breath 'Another brilliant work from one of the very best science writers, Air-Borne will leave you agog at the incredible world that floats unseen around us' - Ed Yong, New York Times bestselling author of An Immense World -------------------------------------- Every day we draw in two thousand gallons of air - and thousands of living things. From the ground to the stratosphere, the air teems with invisible life. In Air-Borne, award-winning New York Times columnist and Baillie Gifford-shortlisted author Carl Zimmer leads us on an odyssey through the living atmosphere and through the history of its discovery. From NASA scientists conducting trailblazing experiments in the sky, to governments building clandestine arsenals of biological airborne weapons, Air-Borne prompts us to look at the world with fresh eyes. Weaving together spellbinding history with the latest reporting on airborne threats to global health, this masterwork makes visible an invisible world.

Injecting Substance Use, Recovery and Critical Harms: Understanding the Complexities of the Drug Problem provides an important overview into the history, drivers and consequences of drug injecting, what sustains it and why problems continue to surprise clinicians, policy-makers and politicians. It explores the gritty reality of the harms caused by injecting drugs, and puts the medical, psychiatric and social damage in a contemporary context. Among the many harms resulting from substance use are viral and bacterial epidemics and devastating loss of life. Although no simple solutions are possible, by engaging with the consequences of drug use, the book aims to understand the causes, to prevent worse outcomes.Drawing on the author's in-depth experiences at the forefront of practice, policy and research in this field, the book provides an extended case study examining drug injecting and the HIV crisis in the Scottish health system. The book shows how trying to get to grips with the "drug problem" is complicated by confusing definitions of what is a drug and where the separation lies between the benefits and harms, Culture and politics, which vary across nations, determine legal status, and consequently penalties and acceptability. In grappling with these complexities, the book aims to develop a strong theoretical framework which examines how substance use is socially constructed within public health policy and practice.The book should be essential reading for health, medicine and social care students and those with an interest in the consequences of illicit substance use including those studying law, humanities, business and politics. It will also be informative for professionals and policy-makers in the criminal justice, health and education sectors and those responsible for political influence and planning in the public realm. Anyone who thinks that substance use will not throw up new problems and challenges for the health and politics affecting us all in the future just has to consider the roller coaster of the last six decades.

Injecting Substance Use, Recovery and Critical Harms

“In these times when academics work more with data than doing fieldwork with companies and concrete experiences, I remember Chris Freeman's warning that “mathematical models conceal more than they reveal.”&nbsp; It is thus a breath of fresh air to find a book that goes deeply into the experience of several companies, observes in detail their process of acquiring technological capabilities and then generalizes and extracts lessons that are useful for companies, governments and students. Being obviously the result of years of patient research, this book will be useful reading for those engaged in learning to innovate in Mexico itself, in Latin America and across the Global South.”&nbsp;—Prof. Carlota Perez, Honorary Prof. in IIPP and in SPRU at UK, as well as an Adjunct Prof. in Estonia. Author of “Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital: The Dynamics of Bubbles and Golden Ages".Across Mexico’s most advanced manufacturing sectors, a quiet technological revolution is underway—one reshaping how leading firms build capabilities, innovate, and compete on the global stage. This book offers an inside look at how major companies are navigating the push toward digital transformation, revealing the real drivers of progress, the obstacles slowing adoption, and the strategic choices shaping their future. Through detailed case studies spanning automotive, electrical, food production, and beyond, it uncovers how firms are moving toward the technological frontier while balancing the demands of global value chains and the pressures of shifting environmental regulations.What emerges is a nuanced portrait of an economy advancing at two speeds. While large companies accelerate toward Industry 4.0, smaller enterprises struggle with outdated processes and limited resources, widening the technological divide. By tracing these divergent paths, the book illuminates both the promise and the risks of Mexico’s evolving productive structure—and points to how the strengths of the modern sector can help lift the rest. It is essential reading for scholars and policymakers seeking an in-depth understanding of Mexico’s innovation landscape.Gabriela Dutrénit

Routledge Studies in Food, Society and the Environment

This book makes a compelling case for the urgent need to develop a new approach to food and farming-one that integrates the principles of food security and sovereignty.In the face of escalating challenges such as climate change and increasing political instability worldwide, it is essential to rethink food production and future-proof it by prioritising resilience. While food security and sovereignty are widely recognised and debated concepts, this book considers the critical yet often overlooked dimension of food stability as a cornerstone for shaping future food policy. As public interest in sustainable food systems continues to grow, this book provides readers with a deeper understanding of the complexities of the food system and offers actionable insights into how consumption patterns can be shifted to foster a more sustainable future. Tracing the journey from farm to fork, the chapters explore key topics such as climate resilience, genetic diversity, supply chains, food resilience, and market competition. With a particular focus on the UK food system, this book examines the implications of the 2025 UK Government Food Strategy for England and its potential to reshape the future of food governance.This book is an essential resource for anyone seeking to better understand UK food policy and the pathways to achieving a secure, equitable, and sustainable food future.

Sharing insights from the author's forty years of activism, this book champions the right to food as a fundamental human right and offers a compelling exploration of its evolution and application.Tracing the emergence of the human right to food within civil society and among legal experts in the early 1980s, this book highlights its pivotal role in advancing economic, social, and cultural rights that had long been neglected within the UN system. The book provides a careful definition of human rights as natural law, starting from human needs and States' obligations. It underscores the essential unity of human rights. Delving into key issues such as land rights, agrarian reform, and minimum income programmes, the book draws on global examples of oppression to illustrate the practical implementation of the right to food. It also examines the transnational dimensions of food justice, addressing the role of the Global North in perpetuating food insecurity in the Global South, and explores the role of human rights in regulating transnational corporations and holding International Governmental Organisations accountable. Furthermore, the book considers the legal implications of future generations' right to food and how this shapes present-day state obligations. With its conceptual clarity and actionable insights, this book serves as a vital resource for human rights education, advocacy, and policymaking.This book is essential reading for activists, policymakers, students, and scholars across disciplines such as human rights, food and agriculture policy, social security, international relations, philosophy, and sustainability.

'Captivating storytelling and cutting-edge science ... Prepare to question everything you thought you knew' DANIEL Z. LIEBERMAN, author of The Molecule of More 'This book will profoundly change the way you consider your own mind' LEWIS DARTNELL, bestselling author of The Knowledge, Origins and Being Human 'A compelling account of how a mind emerges from the brain' CHRIS FRITH, Emeritus Professor of Neuropsychology at University College London 'Engaging, informative, and genuinely entertaining' DEAN BURNETT, author of The Idiot BrainHow does your brain decide what it's seeing, from the physical world to other people? For decades, scientists have tried to understand how our brains work, not realising that the answer lies much closer to home than it seems.The latest research in neuroscience and psychology suggests that the brain is doing the same thing that the scientists are: using past experiences to build theories of how the world works, and using these models to predict and make sense of it. Through this process, your brain constructs the reality that you live in.In this book Daniel Yon takes the research one step further, uncovering how your brain colours your perception of the world, the judgements you make about other people and the beliefs you form about yourself. With transformative applications for how we engage with other communities and approach mental illness, A Trick of The Mind will revolutionise the way you think.

How to Finish What You Start

Intentional

This book advocates for harm reduction as a humanizing overarching approach to substance use and addiction care, one that can increase access to and engagement in treatment and other services.In this book, the authors lay out the challenges and limitations of the abstinence-only approach to treatment and care, which can lead to disillusioned clients and frustrated providers. Based on interviews conducted at two harm reduction programs, this book describes how the approach demarginalized clients and led them to voluntarily engage in services, thereby resulting in improved quality of life, hopeful future goals and plans, better social functioning, and reduced substance use. In their own words, clients and providers described what uniquely characterized a harm reduction approach and how it as an alternative, supplement, or complement to existing abstinence-only options.This important volume contributes key information critical for training future generations of social workers, healthcare providers, and addiction specialists.

Beyond One-Size-Fits-All Addiction Treatment

The Case for a Harm Reduction Approach

In The Unknowable Body, Lisa Jean Moore explores the profound disconnect between how we experience our bodies and how the medical world interprets them. Drawing on her own journey through DCIS diagnosis, mastectomy, and reconstruction - alongside her family's navigation of her ex-partner's brain tumour - Moore investigates various unsettling dimensions of bodily uncertainty that emerge when illness enters our lives. As scans revealed secrets that human perception failed to, and while navigating a queer family system that didn't fit institutional categories, the author found herself in territory few roadmaps could chart. This book weaves candid humour and poetic personal narrative and analytical vision to examine how bodies resist complete knowing - medically, emotionally, in time, and through gender and identity. It offers new ways of thinking about embodiment in an age of increasing medical surveillance, technological intervention, and economically profitable uncertainty. What began as an investigation into cancer treatment evolved into a deeper exploration of how bodies exceed our frameworks for understanding. Whether through scans that simultaneously reveal and obscure, emotional reverberations that transform family systems, temporal disruptions that fracture our sense of before and after, or gender expectations that shape medical encounters, our bodies remain fundamentally mysterious even as we attempt to make them knowable. This thought-provoking, enriching book isn't just about illness, but about how all bodies exist in states of becoming and evade categories.
