Konzeption eines Information-Lifecycle-Management-Frameworks im Dokumenten-Management-Kontext.

Abstract: Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) wurde in den letzten Jahren ein beliebter Terminus für ein recht unscharf definiertes Bündel von Produkten, Technologien und Prozessen. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, eine schärfere Abgrenzung von ILM gegenüber anderen Technologien wie insbesondere dem Enterprise Content Management zu ermöglichen und weiterhin eine Methodik zur Entwicklung der notwendigen Konfigurationsparameter zur Verfügung zu stellen, mit deren Hilfe Organisationen in der Lage sind, ILM effizient zu implementieren.

From HRM to psychological contracting - the case of Finnish mobile content producing companies

Abstract: The paper explores how human resource management (HRM) is currently intended, used and experienced in 10 Finnish companies operating in the field of telecommunications. Our specific focus is on direct and indirect forms of managerial control and the psychological contract. We examine how psychological contracts are created and maintained, and study their relationship with HRM as a means of either direct or indirect control. Our findings indicate that employees are voluntarily assuming the obligation to exercise organizational control as a part of their psychological contract in exchange for the freedom and autonomy that they enjoy. Recruitment emerges as a top employer priority. However, not many other human resource (HR) techniques are used. Rather, carefully selected workers are allowed the autonomy and freedom to define what constitutes their psychological contract, with a duty to control its attractiveness from the employers' point of view.

The cause of higher economic growth: assessing the long-term and short-term relationships between economic growth and government expenditure

Abstract: This study examines the cause of higher (5% or more) economic growth rates in countries around the world over the past 35 years. It explores the long- and short-term relationships between GDP and government expenditures in these countries. A panel data set of 60 countries over the period from 1976 to 2010 is deployed to implement pooled mean group estimation. Countries are divided into three economic growth rate groups: high, middle, and low. Panel-based/error correction models are used to estimate long-term equilibrium relationships and short-term dynamics between government expenditures and GDP growth rates. Results indicate that the hypothesis of a common long-term elasticity and a short-term dynamic relationship between GDP growth rates and government expenditures cannot be rejected for high group countries, whereas for middle group countries this is true only for the long term, not for the short term. No long-term or short-term relationship between these two variables exists for low-growth-rate countries.

Theory of Mutual Funds: The Effect of Principal Agency Conflicts on Mutual Fund Size

Abstract: Many textbooks present mutual funds as financial institutions that collect money and trade various financial securities on behalf of their investors who benefit from professional management, effective diversification and high liquidity with relatively low minimum investment requirements. Mutual funds employ professional managers to trade the securities and make use of various distribution channels such as banks, brokers, insurance companies and independent financial consultants to sell the fund's shares to investors. The fund managers and distributors are essentially contracted as agents of the funds' shareholders in that they are paid to help investors to carry out their optimum investment strategies.
