Efficient and effective transportation networks are backbones to modern societies. Methodologically, their design has mainly been driven by optimization approaches oftentimes with a strong cost focus. Their strategic planning, however, should go beyond detailed cost analysis and identify other key decision drivers. Transportation network centrality describes the appearance of a network; hence is crucial for network design. Anne Paul develops a strategic approach to transportation network design by conceptualizing transportation network centrality and relating it to the performance and quality of transportation networks. Consequently, the concept of network centrality serves to support decisions in strategic network design. A practical implementation of this approach is provided, demonstrating its feasibility. Potential readers include scholars and practitioners from logistics, supply chain management, and operational researchwith an interest in strategic transportation network design.

Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Bildung von Persönlichkeitseindrücken von unbekannten Gesichtern und dem Einfluss von variierenden, als Testimonials eingesetzten Werbegesichtern auf die Wahrnehmung der Markenpersönlichkeit. Es zeigte sich, dass sowohl die Persönlichkeiten von Gesichtern als auch von Marken in einer generellen Evaluationsdimension (z. B. vertrauenswürdig, freundlich) und einer Stärkedimension (z. B. dominant, kraftvoll) wahrgenommen werden. Zudem konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Wahrnehmung der Markenpersönlichkeit gezielt durch die Wahl unbekannter Werbegesichter beeinflussbar ist.
