Esta obra é resultante da necessidade de reunir reflexões e estudos sobre temáticas afetas às histórias de Brasil e Chile em perspectivas que permitam ultrapassar variados limites, concorrendo para a percepção de aproximações e distanciamentos no que concerne ao passado recente em torno das experiências ditatoriais observadas em ambos os países. O seu foco está nos processos de mobilização política e a resistência de militares de escalões inferiores das instituições navais brasileiras e chilenas, em contextos de esgarçamento dos limites democráticos nos países em questão. Ao mesmo tempo, esta obra se vincula ao esforço conjunto de pesquisadores que vêm se dedicando a analisar os diferentes aspectos que atravessam as relações sociais estabelecidas nessas corporações e que contribuem para uma compreensão mais ampla acerca das transformações nelas experienciadas e nas sociedades que integram.

In Zeiten schnellen technologischen Wandels und in einem stets dynamischen Wettbewerbsumfeld versuchen Unternehmen durch Innovationen einen komparativen Vorteil zu erlangen, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Eine Möglichkeit, Zugang zu dem für die Innovationen benötigten Wissen zu erhalten, bietet die Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen oder Forschungseinrichtungen in Form der kooperativen Technologieentwicklung. Ein diesbezüglich relevantes Konzept ist das der Absorptive Capacity. Es versucht zu erklären, warum Unternehmen unterschiedlich leicht Zugang zu potenziell für Innovationen relevantem Wissen finden und warum Unternehmen dieses Wissen teilweise mehr, teilweise weniger effizient umsetzen können. Obwohl bereits zahlreiche Forschungsbeiträge theoretische Zusammenhänge der Absorptive Capacity genauer beleuchtet haben, wurde den tatsächlich zur Anwendung kommenden Praktiken bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt. An dieser Lücke setzt diese Arbeit an und fokussiert so die Praktiken der Absorptive Capacity.

Film and television actor and New York Times bestselling author Robert Wagner's memoir of the great women movie stars he has known. In a career that has spanned more than sixty years Robert Wagner has witnessed the twilight of the Golden Age of Hollywood and the rise of television, becoming a beloved star in both media. During that time he became acquainted, both professionally and socially, with the remarkable women who were the greatest screen personalities of their day. I Loved Her in the Movies is his intimate and revealing account of the charisma of these women on film, why they became stars, and how their specific emotional and dramatic chemistries affected the choices they made as actresses as well as the choices they made as women. Among Wagner's subjects are Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe, Gloria Swanson, Norma Shearer, Loretta Young, Joan Blondell, Irene Dunne, Rosalind Russell, Dorothy Lamour, Debra Paget, Jean Peters, Linda Darnell, Betty Hutton, Raquel Welch, Glenn Close, and the two actresses whom he ultimately married, Natalie Wood and Jill St. John. In addition to offering perceptive commentary on these women, Wagner also examines topics such as the strange alchemy of the camera—how it can transform the attractive into the stunning, and vice versa—and how the introduction of color brought a new erotic charge to movies, one that enabled these actresses to become aggressively sexual beings in a way that that black and white films had only hinted at. Like Wagner's two previous bestsellers, I Loved Her in the Movies is a privileged look behind the scenes at some of the most well-known women in show business as well as an insightful look at the sexual and romantic attraction that created their magic.

In Hollywood history, no other lawyer has achieved the movie star - like fame and glamour that Greg Bautzer enjoyed. This revealing biography tells, for the first time, the amazing story of a self-made man who for 50 years used his irresistible charm and prodigious legal talent to dominate the courtrooms, boardrooms, and bedrooms of Hollywood. Columnists of the 1930s through 1950s dubbed him “Hollywood Bachelor Number One,” and for good reason. His long-term relationships and momentary conquests were a who's who of leading ladies. Through exclusive interviews with those who knew him best, the book uncovers the inner workings of not only Bautzer the high-powered Hollywood lawyer—whose clients included billionaire Howard Hughes—but Bautzer the man.
