A Handbook of Real Variables

With Appllications to Differential Equations and Fourier Analysis

This concise real analysis handbook takes into account the fundamentals of the classical theory of the subject and sheds light on its significant applications to differential equations and Fourier analysis. It de-emphasizes proofs and instead stresses concepts, examples and insights.

7=0 This fact may be verified just by long division. The series converges neither
at 1 nor at — 1 . In fact one may check by hand that f has a convergent power
series expansion about any point xq in the real line except 1 . Thus f is real

Financial Distress and Corporate Turnaround

An Empirical Analysis of the Automotive Supplier Industry

​The work of Martin Schmuck empirically investigates the phenomenon of financial distress and corporate turnaround in the automotive supplier industry. Based on a sample of 194 publicly listed automotive suppliers, the effectiveness of managerial, operational, financial, and asset restructuring activities is analyzed in a multivariate research setting. Archetypes for successful turnarounds are identified and matched with strategies of non-distressed companies.

3.1 Definitions 3.1.1 Financial distress The definition of distress in general and
the selection of a distress criterion have major implications on research results,
particularly in empirical research.156 Definitions of what constitutes good and

Financial Distress, Corporate Restructuring and Firm Survival

An Empirical Analysis of German Panel Data

Philipp Jostarndt studies distress-induced changes in ownership and control, success factors in distressed equity infusions, and firms’ choice between in- and out-of-court debt restructurings. In addition, he analyzes the determinants of survival, acquisition, and bankruptcy as alternative paths to exit financial distress. He includes both the firm perspective as well as the market valuations of the undertaken restructurings and, where applicable, relates the findings to the microstructure of Germany’s revised bankruptcy legislation.

the resulting industry distribution of firms in the distress sample broadly
corresponds with the overall distribution of industries in the universe. The
industry distributions of the distress sample and the underlying WORLDSCOPE

Management, Valuation, and Risk for Human Capital and Human Assets

Building the Foundation for a Multi-Disciplinary, Multi-Level Theory

Perspectives on Human Capital and Assets goes beyond the current literature by providing a platform for a broad scope of discussion regarding HC&A, and, more importantly, by encouraging a multidisciplinary fusion between diverse disciplines.

Thequestion then is the following: how does a firmknow they are using
theirhuman capital properly, or iftheyare getting the greatest value fromthis
intangible asset? To answer these questions, it poses the need for a firm's human
resources ...

Value Creation, Reporting, and Signaling for Human Capital and Human Assets

Building the Foundation for a Multi-Disciplinary, Multi-Level Theory

The issues discussed in this book are the building blocks needed for an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that will allow for value creation and reporting by the most important assets organizations have, its human capital.

Inaddition, Axand Marton (2008) found a weak statistical association
betweenhuman capital disclosure in annual reports andinternal human capital
management practices.This indicates that althoughcompanies have internal

Design Research in Information Systems

Theory and Practice

It is 5 years since the publication of the seminal paper on “Design Science in Information Systems Research” by Hevner, March, Park, and Ram in MIS Quarterly and the initiation of the Information Technology and Systems department of the Communications of AIS. These events in 2004 are markers in the move of design science to the forefront of information systems research. A suf cient interval has elapsed since then to allow assessment of from where the eld has come and where it should go. Design science research and behavioral science research started as dual tracks when IS was a young eld. By the 1990s, the in ux of behavioral scientists started to dominate the number of design scientists and the eld moved in that direction. By the early 2000s, design people were having dif culty publishing in mainline IS journals and in being tenured in many universities. Yes, an annual Workshop on Information Technology and Systems (WITS) was established in 1991 in conju- tion with the International Conference on Information Systems (ICIS) and grew each year. But that was the extent of design science recognition. Fortunately, a revival is underway. By 2009, when this foreword was written, the fourth DESRIST c- ference has been held and plans are afoot for the 2010 meeting. Design scientists regained respect and recognition in many venues where they previously had little.

4.6 Conclusions Design work and design knowledge in information systems are
very important for both research and practice. There has been little effort paid to
date to the problem of specifying design theory so that it can be communicated, ...
