Against this current trend of low growth and high uncertainty, business directors must work with their shareholders to set strategic objectives and define business models. The great number of possible strategies makes this type of management very complex, and the actual deployment of strategic choices is often limited by a lack of overall coherence within the organization. This problem calls for an appropriate and renewed response. In strategic management today, a closer, permanent dialogue is needed between operational and financial performance. Based on a supply chain approach, the Value Added Supply Chain (VASC) model focuses on driving operational performance, but aims to achieve a greater and more dynamic integration between these two dimensions of the company's value creation.

Material-Integrated Intelligent Systems. Technology and Applications
Combining different perspectives from materials science, engineering, and computer science, this reference provides a unified view of the various aspects necessary for the successful realization of intelligent systems. The editors and authors are from academia and research institutions with close ties to industry, and are thus able to offer first-hand information here. They adopt a unique, three-tiered approach such that readers can gain basic, intermediate, and advanced topical knowledge. The technology section of the book is divided into chapters covering the basics of sensor integration in materials, the challenges associated with this approach, data processing, evaluation, and validation, as well as methods for achieving an autonomous energy supply. The applications part then goes on to showcase typical scenarios where material-integrated intelligent systems are already in use, such as for structural health monitoring and smart textiles.

Eurocode 2 für Deutschland. DIN EN 1992-1-1 Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbeton- und Spannbetontragwerken - Teil 1-1
Der Eurocode 2 fur den Beton-, Stahlbeton- und Spannbetonbau wurde zusammen mit anderen Eurocodes zum Stichtag 1. Juli 2012 in Deutschland bauaufsichtlich eingefuhrt. Der Teil DIN EN 1992-1-1: «Eurocode 2 – Bemessung und Konstruktion von Stahlbeton- und Spannbetontragwerken – Teil 1-1: Allgemeine Bemessungsregeln und Regeln fur den Hochbau» mit dem dazugehorigen Nationalen Anhang loste damit die fruhere nationale Norm fur die Tragwerksplanung im Betonbau DIN 1045-1 ab. Die mit dieser «Kommentierten Fassung» vorgelegte Aufbereitung des Eurocodes 2 soll den in der Praxis tatigen Tragwerksplanern vor allem die Einarbeitung in das neue europaische Regelwerk und die tagliche Arbeit damit erleichtern. Hierzu wurden in einem Normenteil der Text von DIN EN 1992-1-1 und die dazugehorigen Festlegungen im Nationalen Anhang fur Deutschland zusammengefuhrt und zu einer konsolidierten Fassung verwoben und redaktionell uberarbeitet. Alle nationalen Regeln wurden nicht nur in den Text eingearbeitet, sondern auch in Bilder, Gleichungen und Tabellen, und durch eine Unterlegung kenntlich gemacht. Uberflussige Textteile von EN 1992-1-1, wie Anmerkungen, die durch nationale Regeln ersetzt wurden, oder Absatze und Anhange, die in Deutschland nicht gelten, wurden entfernt. So kann sich der Leser auf den ma?gebenden Normentext konzentrieren. Begleitet wird der konsolidierte Normentext in einer Hinweisspalte durch hilfreiche Verweise, Grafiken, Tabellen und kurze Erlauterungen, so dass sich der Leser schneller und einfacher zurechtfinden kann. Um die Akzeptanz der neuen aber auch der vielen bekannten Regelungen zu erhohen, enthalt der zweite Teil dieses Buches Erlauterungen, Hintergrundinformationen und Beispiele, insbesondere zu den gegenuber DIN 1045-1 neuen oder abweichenden Regeln von Eurocode 2 sowie zu den national festzulegenden Parametern (NDP) und den zusatzlichen nationalen Erganzungen (NCI) aus dem Nationalen Anhang (NA). In die nunmehr vorgelegte 2. aktualisierte Auflage dieses Buches wurden die A1-Anderungen der DIN EN 1992-1-1/A1 und des Nationalen Anhangs DIN EN 1992-1-1/NA/A1 aus dem Jahr 2015 eingearbeitet. Bei dieser Gelegenheit wurden die dazugehorigen Erlauterungen erganzt, einige aktuelle Auslegungen zur Norm und Verbesserungsvorschlage unserer Leser aufgenommen, die Literaturliste aktualisiert sowie Druckfehler berichtigt.
