The lake-margin ecosystems of the studied lakes are characterized by varying degrees of salinity from polyhaline to brine water. Cyclical variations of meteorological conditions and high salinity determined that the compositions of the aquatic organisms are specific, mostly between stenohaline and euryhaline species, the quantities are low, and the community structures are simple.展开更多

The establishment of a new powerful trend in investments produces strategic shifts in strategic management. Shareholder wealth maximization way of thinking is changing to stakeholder wealth maximization where a company's value management system is based not only on economic profit maximization, but also on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) maximization. There is especially a high need for a management system that can be used by mergers and acquisitions (M&A) practitioners during integration process. There is a critical need for metrics which can trace the interests of all stakeholders, because to achieve success in integration, it is no longer acceptable for management to focus solely on the needs of one or two stakeholder groups. In this article, the authors have introduced two frameworks: sun cube and stakeholder relationship matrix. These tools can be useful in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) process for conducting a stakeholder analysis.展开更多

文摘The importance of stakeholder relationship management for successful integration in post-merger management is not doubted.
