Through Unknown African Countries
Through Unknown African Countries
A. Donaldson Smith was an American medical doctor and amateur big-game hunter who, in 1894-95, undertook an 18-month expedition from Berbera, Somalia (then British Somaliland) to Lake Turkana (then Lake Rudolf) in Kenya. He explored the headwaters of the Shabeelle River in Ethiopia and, on his return journey, descended the Tana River to the Kenyan coast. This book is his account of the expedition. Its appendices contain detailed descriptions and illustrations of the fishes, spiders and scorpions, moths, geological specimens, fossils, plants, and ethnographic objects collected on the expedition. Also included are maps of the expedition's route, glossaries of words collected from several African tribes, and his correspondence with Emperor Menelek, from whom he sought permission to travel through southern Ethiopia. Lake Turkana National Park in Kenya is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Research Journal for Applied Management - Jg. 1, Heft 2
Research Journal for Applied Management - Jg. 1, Heft 2
Das Research Journal for Applied Management präsentiert den Leserinnen und Lesern Ergebnisse aus der praxisorientierten Forschung zu Managementthemen. Die Beiträge dieser Ausgabe fokussieren auf konkreten Marktentwicklungen, Prozessen und Projektergebnissen und bedienen ein breites Spektrum an Managementthemen. Parallel zum Lehrbetrieb werden an der ISM International School of Management kontinuierlich Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte in verschiedensten Bereichen durchgeführt. Von dieser anwendungsorientierten Forschung profitiert nicht nur die Wissenschaft, die auf diesem Weg überprüft, inwieweit theoretische Grundlagen auf die Praxis übertragen werden können. Der konkrete Bezug zu Tätigkeitsbereichen von Unternehmen ermöglicht es auch den Praxispartnern der ISM, die neuen Erkenntnisse zur Optimierung der erforschten Bereiche zu nutzen. Dies schafft für beide Seiten die Möglichkeit, sich zu profilieren und erfolgreich weiterzuentwickeln. Darüber hinaus basiert eine qualitativ hochwertige, praxisnahe und fundierte Lehre auf theoretischen Grundlagen, die um die Erkenntnisse anwendungsorientierter Forschung ergänzt werden. Durch die Mitarbeit in Forschungsprojekten lernen Studierende zudem, das Wissen in der Praxis anzuwenden. Hierdurch können sie nach Abschluss ihres Studiums schneller als Absolventen anderer Hochschulen selbstständig Aufgaben in Unternehmen übernehmen. So profitieren ISM-Dozenten ebenso wie ISM-Studierende und Praxispartner gleichermaßen von dem wissenschaftlichen Diskurs. Entsprechend ihrem Fokus in Lehre und Studium konzentrieren sich die Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekte der ISM auf unterschiedliche Schwerpunkte und transdisziplinäre Ansätze in den Bereichen Internationalisierung der Wirtschaft, energieökonomische sowie umweltökonomische Forschung, Tourismusforschung, Logistik- und Informationsforschung, Finanz- und Bankenforschung, Marketing- und Kommunikationsforschung, Leadership- und Motivationsforschung und Organisations- und Personalforschung. Das Research Journal for Applied Management enthält aktuelle ISM-nahe empirische und/oder theoretische Forschungsergebnisse. Die Beiträge werden einem Double Peer (mit mindestens einem ISM-externen Experten) sowie einem Double-Blind-Begutachtungsverfahren unterzogen.
