Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Thema: Europäische Union, Note: 1,7, Otto-von-Guericke-Universität Magdeburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Implementation von Richtlinien der Europäi-schen Union aus aktueller Forschungsperspektive. Zuerst wird ein Einblick in die Bedeutung des relativ jungen Forschungsgebietes der Implementierungsstudien geboten, der die wichtigsten theoretischen Herangehens- und Ansatzweisen miteinschließt. Hierauf werden die allgemeinen Defizite, die auf supranationaler und nationaler Ebene bei der Umsetzung von EU-Richtlinien auftreten, dargestellt. Bevor die präsentierten Grundlagen in einem letzten Schritt angewendet werden sollen, werden die Inhalte und besonderen Eigenschaften der Richtlinie über bestimmte Aspekte der Arbeitszeit in ihren beiden Formen 93/104/EG und 2003/88/EG vorgestellt. Als Beispiel für die Defizite, die bei der Umsetzung insbesondere dieser sozialpolitischen Richtlinie auftauchen, wird vor allem die Bundesrepublik Deutschland betrachtet, die die Richtlinie ursprünglich weder fristgerecht noch korrekt implementiert hat.

Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg (International Management), language: English, abstract: This paper strives for investigating the phenomena of expatriates focusing on German expatriates in China. There are several reasons for this. Regarding the main destination of expatriates, which are mainly from Western countries, one third of all assignees have Asia as destination. In Asia, there are huge emerging markets to be explored by MNCs such as China where Western countries have spent FDI for decades already. China is at a ¿stage of dramatic transition towards a more market-oriented economy.¿ Moreover, the human resource management stands high on the agenda not only for foreign but also for Chinese companies expanding abroad.Regarding the conceptual framework it can be seen that much research is done exploratory with surveys and questionnaires, and there are also some case studies. This survey study will also have an exploratory character preparing the ground for following empirical research. However, this thesis concentrates on the evaluation of CVs that have been voluntarily uploaded in the internet. This method of analyzing résumés is seen beneficial particularly until now in the social sciences. This study therefore deals with two important, not yet sufficiently answered research questions:A) What is the typical demographical profile of a German expatriate in China?B) What is the typical career profile of a German expatriate in China, respectively what position and function he or she obtains in China?Chapter 2 deals with the conceptual part of data collection and how the data was processed. In the two chapters thereafter, the results of the study are presented by providing answers to the research questions. Chapter 3 clarifies the typical demographical profile of a German expatriate in China, whereas Chapter 4 highlights the working experience, respectively the typical job profile. Chapter 5 will then summarize the findings and provide outlook as well as recommendations for companies. The next subchapter, however, will start to provide a general outlook on the topic of managing expatriates touching the most important topics.

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject Politics - Topic: European Union, grade: 1,0, Charles University in Prague, course: West European Politics and Society, language: English, abstract: This essay is going to examine Austriäs policy of neutrality especially in the light of its implications for the relationship to the European Union. What was once enforced became an important part of national identity and seemed also after the Cold War hindering an accession of Austria to the European Community. Over the past years Austria tried to adapt its principle of neutrality and thereby finally became a full member of the European Union 1995. However, the policy of neutrality is still on the agenda especially concerning the Constitution for Europe. The questions which will be addressed in that paper are: What is the meaning of Austriäs policy of neutrality in general? What did this implied for Austriäs foreign policy and its relationship to European Community? How comes, that this principle is still so important and how does Austria evaluate the Constitution for Europe in terms of neutrality?
