Sommario/riassunto |
|
A reprint of the rare and controversial biography of Henry Ford, first published in 1923, written by Ford's close associate. Regarded by many automotive historians as the finest and most dispassionate character study of Henry Ford ever written, Henry Ford: An Interpretation has long been out of print and priced out of the reach of many collectors. Published at the height of Ford's success in 1923, the volume was written by the Reverend Samuel S. Marquis, an Episcopalian minister who was also the head of the sociology department at Ford Motor Company. Instead of a history of Ford Motor Company or a simple retelling of Ford's life story, Marquis claims that his collection of |

essays is intended to analyze the "psychological puzzle such as the unusual mind and personality of Henry Ford presents." In insightful chapters that can be read in any order, Marquis examines Ford's mastery of self-promotion, his invincible reputation, his religious views, and his "elusive" personality. He also considers Ford through the lens of his corporation by commenting on its industrial operations, its charitable causes, and its "executive scrap heap." According to many accounts, Henry Ford was greatly pained by the criticism in some of Marquis's essays, which led him to suppress the wide distribution of the volume. Indeed, so many copies of Henry Ford: An Interpretation were borrowed from the Detroit Public Library and never returned that the library was forced to remove the volume from its shelves. Not surprisingly, the original edition of this book is very expensive and hard to find as a result of these sorts of actions. Ford history enthusiasts as well as readers who are interested in historical biography will be grateful for the reprint of this significant volume. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
What does it mean for a university to be entrepreneurial? This global concept, which enables universities to attain social accountability through innovation and participation in local economic development, has become more important than ever in today's knowledge society. This book considers how an entrepreneurial university can improve the social and economic development of countries which are lagging behind in cutting-edge technologies and science-based innovation. Exploring university models in two moderately innovative countries, Spain and Croatia, this book examines how universities can work within the capacities of the business sector while still preserving the universities' social and cultural identities. Using empirically-based case studies and survey results from faculty members in several European countries, the authors reveal the challenges and opportunities to becoming a more entrepreneurial university. It is a great resource for researchers and faculty looking to adopt this paradigm and gain perspective on how it can be applied globally. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Diese Arbeit stellt ein nichtlineares Regelungskonzept vor, das eine beliebige Kombination der drei Stelleingriffe radindividuelles Bremsen, Vorder- und Hinterachslenkung ermöglicht. Durch Gain Scheduling linearer PI-Zustandsregler können die beiden zentralen Größen der Fahrzeugquerdynamik, Schwimmwinkel und Gierrate, gemeinsam geregelt werden. Das Gesamtkonzept umfasst neben einem Extended Kalman Filter zur Schwimmwinkelschätzung auch die Detektion kritischer Fahrsituationen. |
