    In the sustainable development management, the following important elements are present and operate: rules of conduct, values, aspirations and expectations, beliefs, specific myths, learned behavior patterns, habits, visible symbols of the company, motivation / reward systems, rights and obligations, components of the organizational culture. These generate the way the activities of sustainable development are structured. The organizational culture influences the sustainable development at the economic, social and environmental level. It contains sustainable values for change, oriented towards the sustainable development management.organizational culture; sustainable development management; the determinants of the organizational culture; human capital; organizational culture dimensions.

    Magnetoelectric Response of the Time-Reversal Invariant Helical Metal

    We derive compact analytical expressions for the coupled spin-charge susceptibility of a clean helical metal at the surface of a three dimensional topological insulator (TI). These expressions lead to unconventional non-collinear RKKY interactions between two impurity magnetic moments placed on the surface of a TI, and predict the generation of electric currents by time-dependent magnetic moments. We determine the influence of gate and bias voltages on the interlayer exchange coupling between two single-domain ferromagnetic monolayers deposited on top of a TI.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures; submitted to Phys.

    A note on modeling some classes of nonlinear systems from data

    Get PDF
    We study the modeling of bilinear and quadratic systems from measured data. The measurements are given by samples of higher order frequency response functions. These values can be identified from the corresponding Volterra series of the underlying nonlinear system. We test the method for examples from structural dynamics and chemistry

    Statistical periodicity in driven quantum systems: General formalism and application to noisy Floquet topological chains

    Full text link
    Much recent experimental effort has focused on the realization of exotic quantum states and dynamics predicted to occur in periodically driven systems. But how robust are the sought-after features, such as Floquet topological surface states, against unavoidable imperfections in the periodic driving? In this work, we address this question in a broader context and study the dynamics of quantum systems subject to noise with periodically recurring statistics. We show that the stroboscopic time evolution of such systems is described by a noise-averaged Floquet superoperator. The eigenvectors and -values of this superoperator generalize the familiar concepts of Floquet states and quasienergies and allow us to describe decoherence due to noise efficiently. Applying the general formalism to the example of a noisy Floquet topological chain, we re-derive and corroborate our recent findings on the noise-induced decay of topologically protected end states. These results follow directly from an expansion of the end state in eigenvectors of the Floquet superoperator.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures. This is the final, published versio
