Die durch den Aufholprozess insbesondere der Schwellenländer Asiens beschleunigte Globalisierung verändert die Rahmenbedingungen des unternehmerischen Handelns gewaltig. Der Wettbewerbsdruck verschärft sich exponentiell und erstreckt sich künftig zunehmend auf die technologisch geprägten...

Wenn es um die Stärkung der Innovationskraft von Unternehmen geht, ist eine gute Personalpolitik von entscheidender Bedeutung. Träger der Innovation ist das Humankapital, das in Unternehmen kritischer Engpass in doppelter Hinsicht ist: Als Entscheidungsträger definiert es die...

Our objective in this paper is to compare the performance of the Differential Evolution (DE) and the Repulsive Particle Swarm (RPS) methods of global optimization. To this end, some relatively difficult test functions have been chosen. These functions are: Perm, Power-Sum, Bukin, Zero-Sum,...

In this paper we compare the performance of the Differential Evolution (DE) and the Repulsive Particle Swarm (RPS) methods of global optimization. To this end, seventy test functions have been chosen. Among these test functions, some are new while others are well known in the literature; some are...

Technologies that are used in different production processes of miscellaneous industries are known as cross-sectional technologies. The economic importance of these technologies normally is measured by economic benchmarks of the producing industry. However, the impact of these tech-nologies for...

In this paper we test a particular variant of the (Repulsive) Particle Swarm method on some rather difficult global optimization problems. A number of these problems are collected from the extant literature and a few of them are newly introduced. First, we introduce the Particle Swarm method of...

In 1984, New Zealand introduced important policy reforms in order to address major macroeconomic and fiscal imbalances. New Zealand's support to agricultural producers rapidly decreased from 30 percent of the value of production to about 2 percent, and has remained the lowest among OECD...
