Zum Werk
Mittels Smart Contracts können sich Verträge selbst ausführen und teilweise autonom agieren. Die Vertragsparteien werden dadurch in die Lage versetzt, die Erfüllung und Durchsetzung von Verpflichtungen durch Code zu automatisieren und damit eine bessere Einhaltung der Verträge zu gewährleisten.
Praktische Anwendungsfälle von Smart Contracts gibt es u.a. bereits in der Versicherungs- sowie Finanzdienstleistungsbranche. Dieses Handbuch enthält fundierte Beiträge aus der Informatik und der Wirtschaft mit Praxisbeispielen. Der Schwerpunkt liegt jedoch auf der rechtlichen Bewertung.

Vorteile auf einen Blickhoch technisiertes Thema für Juristinnen und Juristen verständlich aufbereitetPraxisbeispieleverstärkte Berücksichtigung von dezentralisierten FinanzdienstleistungenZur Neuauflage
Die Neuauflage berücksichtigt verstärkt das immer wichtiger werdende Thema der dezentralisierten Finanzdienstleistungen (Decentralized Finance, DeFi) und geht auch auf Nonfungible Token (NFT), Lending, Decentralized Exchange (DEX) und Yield ein. Einbezogen wird dabei auch die Verordnung über Märkte für Kryptowerte (MiCA-VO).

Zielgruppe
Für Rechtsanwaltschaft, Richterschaft und Rechtsabteilungen in Unternehmen.

Nomos Universitätsschriften - Soziale Arbeit

Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit arbeiten oft mit Fachsoftware. In dieser sind spezifische Rationalitäten eingeschrieben, mit denen sie in der Nutzung konfrontiert werden. Diese technografische GTM-Studie begleitete zwei Softwareunternehmen bei der (Weiter-)Entwicklung ihrer Fachsoftware. Sie macht sichtbar, welche konzeptionellen Überlegungen, sozialen Aushandlungen und informationstechnologischen Rationalitäten hinter den Anwendungen stehen und wie diese die Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit mitstrukturieren können. 

Die Forschungsschwerpunkte von Joshua Weber liegen an der Schnittstelle von Digitalisierung und Sozialer Arbeit mit dem Fokus auf Fachsoftware, Dokumentation und digitale Kompetenzen im Feld Sozialer Arbeit.

Dieser Titel erscheint auch Open Access.

Your Individual Empire

Two former Walt Disney Imagineering leaders and designers take on a major gap in team leadership: the lack of a reliable method for collaboration that consistently drives success, innovation, and efficient problem-solving while also minimizing burnout and interpersonal friction. Drawing on their experience at Walt Disney Imagineering and additional work with companies such as Sony, Heineken, and Mattel, Tricia Cerrone and Edward J. van Luinen, Ed.D share a practical approach leaders can apply in any industry, on any team, right away. At Disney, Tricia and Edward were tasked with co-leading a global high-stakes, multi-year initiative across 120+ disciplines; in the process of uniting creative, technical, and operational teams around shared outcomes, they developed and later refined the collaborative leadership skills and repeatable method presented in this book. Their simple, human approach centers on five everyday behaviors-Generosity, Resourcefulness, Co-Creation, Action, and Gratitude-guided by Noble Purpose and an Instant Implementation Roadmap. The result is a clear, step-by-step way to build trust, unlock ideas, move faster, and sustain energy without new software, restructures, or big budgets. And the ripple effects are powerful: greater innovation, faster decisions, healthier culture, organic professional growth, more resilient people, stronger ROI, and higher engagement. Inside you'll get: A repeatable method that fits any leadership style or team structure. Stories and examples from Disney and beyond that show the method in action. Immediate techniques for safer teams, better brainstorms, quicker pilots, and meaningful recognition. A plan to scale collaboration and overcome common barriers like ego, silos, and burnout.

Co-Value Creating – Mit strategischen Kunden nachhaltig wachsen

A practical method, backed by peer-reviewed research, for reimagining work to create your most distinctive, creative, energetic, and relatable professional self.In far too many organizations, the idea of bringing your 'full self' to the job is a liability.Emotion beyond enthusiasm for the task at hand is deemed unprofessional. Personal identity must be compressed into a carefully curated bio: relatable yet inoffensive.When people are conditioned to flatten the full social and emotional complexities of themselves, spirits dull and progress stalls, in life and in the workplace.But for a growing number of people, especially younger generations, this form of workplace culture no longer works. Surveys show that fewer individuals are willing to sacrifice their time and quality of life for a career, let alone an organization. With an increased focus on purpose, meaning, and mental health, many refuse to scrub their emotions, or the full range of their identities, to keep their professional lives separate.At the same time, in more progressive settings, the encouragement to bring people's full selves to work has sometimes unleashed more authenticity and personal revelation than managers and teams know how to handle.So how do we get it right?Lively and accessible, Human Mode features vibrant stories, expert insights, evidence-based techniques, and 'ah-ha' takeaways you can use immediately.Discover how to engage your inherent superpower - being immensely human - to unlock progress, connection, and achievement in your working life.

"Lost Worlds convinces us of the value of slowing down to recognize the tremendous diversity of the human past. But he presses hard against the conclusion that there was any direction or pattern behind its complexity." —The Wall Street Journal“A spellbinding tour de force!” —Walter Scheidel, author of What Is Ancient History?“This is non-fiction storytelling at its finest.” —Eric H. Cline, author of 1177 B.C.The creator of the hit podcast Tides of History offers a new look at humanity’s deep past, showing us how our world was built not by inevitability, but by trial and error on a global scale.There’s a familiar story about us humans: we went from hunting and gathering to farming, wandering bands to villages and cities, clans and chieftains to states and kings. But Lost Worlds offers a new narrative of humanity’s deep history. Here beloved podcast host Patrick Wyman focuses on the 10,000-year span between the end of the Ice Age and the decline of the Bronze Age—the period when civilization as we understand it emerged, introducing social hierarchies, urbanism, complex political organizations, and the written word.In this nuanced retelling, human progress is no longer a straight march from caves to cities: Farming didn’t always replace foraging, villages didn’t automatically spark agriculture, and cities didn’t necessitate rigid hierarchies. For thousands of years, humans merely improvised. By the end of the Bronze Age, the world had become unrecognizable: mammoths and giant sloths replaced by cattle and sheep, scattered nomadic bands replaced by millions living in cities, and farming on nearly every continent. Wyman argues that the rise of states and steady food production wasn’t inevitable, but rather, the outcome of countless choices that reshaped the planet and made us who we are today.Combining cutting-edge science with gripping storytelling, Lost Worlds explores: <ul><li>A Sweeping New History of the Ancient World: Discover how early societies rose, adapted, and collapsed across thousands of years of human history.</li><li>The Archaeology Revolution: Ancient DNA, climate science, and new excavation methods are revealing how prehistoric people lived, migrated, and fought.</li><li>From Ice Age Hunters to Early Civilizations: Follow the dramatic transformation that led from nomadic foragers to farming, cities, and powerful states.</li><li>Why Societies Rise—and Fall: Learn how climate change, migration, population growth, and conflict shaped the fate of early civilizations.</li></ul>

Routledge Studies in Entrepreneurship and Small Business

Entrepreneurship and Competitive Sustainability: Innovative Approaches is a rigorous, practice-focused edited volume that maps how entrepreneurial action can serve as a powerful catalyst for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By weaving together cutting-edge research, real-world case studies, and practical insights, the volume introduces the concept of competitive sustainability, showing how businesses can simultaneously drive profit, innovation, and social good. Covering all 17 SDGs, the chapters provide sector-specific perspectives ranging from agribusiness and health to renewable energy, circular economy (CE), and urban solutions. Each contribution offers theoretical grounding, empirical evidence, and actionable pathways that demonstrate how entrepreneurs and organizations can transform sustainability challenges into opportunities for growth and impact.This book is an essential resource for academics, researchers, policymakers, development practitioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to align innovation with global priorities. By highlighting both opportunities and potential pitfalls, it equips readers with the tools to design sustainable business models, foster cross-sector partnerships, and create measurable impact. More than a reference, it is a road map for turning global goals into practical strategies, empowering readers to build ventures that not only thrive in competitive markets but also contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable future.

Entrepreneurship and Competitive Sustainability

For American workers, the social contract is broken. This book gives a firsthand view of where the breaks occurred, and a prescription for rebuilding it to give workers their due. With AI making the decisions and CEOs and moguls making the money, sometimes it seems that most workers today might as well be drones. If not for a long string of missed opportunities over the last 50 years, it might have been different. In Roads Not Taken, Thomas Kochan reviews the turning points where the social contract fractured and broke, reducing workers’ voices as well as their compensation, benefits, and status. And in the lessons learned from these historical examples, he identifies the foundation for building a new labor relations system that ensures workers will share in the benefits from AI and puts America on course for an innovative and durable social contract at work. As a longtime advisor to government, labor, and management leaders, Kochan offers an eyewitness perspective on the mounting mistakes made in America’s labor relations system beginning, roughly, with Ronald Reagan’s firing of striking air traffic controllers in 1981. His book makes a strong case for new strategies on the part of labor unions and other worker advocacy groups, business, and government—strategies not wedded to the legacy labor law and practice that have failed American workers for so long. Recasting the social contract on this basis, Kochan insists, is key to rebuilding our democracy and its institutions after the damage wrought in recent years.
