A Country Is Not a Company $8.95 Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman argues that business leaders need to understand the differences between economic policy on the national and international scale and business strategy on the organizational scale. Economists deal with the closed system of a national economy, whereas executives live in the open-system world of business. Moreover, economists know that an economy must be run on the basis of general principles, but businesspeople are forever in search of the particular brilliant strategy. Krugman’s article serves to elucidate the world of economics for businesspeople who are so close to it and yet are continually frustrated by what they see. |

Advances in Applied Microeconomics $123.43 This volume brings together ten papers by outstanding researchers who tackle important economic issues surrounding school accountability reforms. The existing state of K-12 public education in the United States is perceived as unacceptable by a large number and wide variety of critics. How to improve upon this state is the subject of much disagreement. The public discussion is heated, and even the academic debate is often sharp. One common thread of argument stresses the need to increase accountability as a strategy for improving public school quality. There are two broad mechanisms for increasing accountability. If current outcomes are too low, then setting acceptable performance standards is one approach to generating quality improvements. The task becomes one of defining appropriate accountability standards and establishing a system of incentives to implement those standards. Alternatively, the low current performance may reflect weak productivity incentives traceable to the limited competition which many school operators face. The suggested remedy is a dose of increased choice, either increased public sector offerings such as charter schools or increased private sector choice via voucher-type programs. The papers in this volume employ relevant microeconomic analysis and current econometric techniques to better our understanding of these vital economic and public policy issues. *Ten papers by leading researchers in the discipline*Included works assist in the understanding of important economic and public policy issues*Appeals to a wide audience of researchers in business, economics, microeconomics, and public policy disciplines |

Architecting with Rm-Odp $74 * Back Cover Architecting with RM-ODP is a comprehensive guide to the techniques for architecting a software system. An architect must address many complex challenges, ranging from business strategy related challenges to technology related challenges. Businesses are evolving from small, centralized, organizational endeavors to large, distributed, virtual enterprises with a multitude of endeavors. Concurrently, technologies supporting systems are evolving to support more autonomous ad distributed processing. Architecting a system for a business that meets the needs of today but is flexible enough to meet the needs of tomorrow requires a number of carefully made architectural decisions, such as: * Determining how to capture the business problem to be solved and relating this to an architectural specification * Creating specifications at the appropriate level of detail, and how to represent these through modeling tools such as UML * Ensuring conformance of the implementation to the specified architecture * Identifying ways of specific semantic behavior * Identifying ways to componentize elements of the architecture Architects of a system must address a number of technology related considerations as well. Among these are interoperability, interactions, policy driven execution, fault tolerance, quality of service, and federation. Patterns of reasoning, architectural patterns for defining a solution, for all of these considerations are found in this book. The International Standard Reference Model of Open Distributed Processing (RM-ODP) provides much in the way of fundamental concepts, rules, and patterns of reasoning for a software architecture of distributed systems. This book explores theuse of RM-ODP, augments that with best practices in industry and academia, and guides the reader to the strengths and weaknesses of RM-ODP. To be sure, RM-ODP is an internationally agreed upon methodology for clearly defining any architecture of a distributed system in an open manner. |

Asian Economy and Finance $219 Topicality of Asian economy has refused to fade for almost four decades; if anything it has been levitating. The Asian economy has changed markedly since the economic and financial crisis of 1997-1998 and is continuing to evolve. As a scholarly subject matter, Asian economy has not stopped attracting academicians, policy mandarins, decision makers in the arena of business and students of Asian economy. The Asian crisis was a cataclysmic event for the region and brought to the surface several systemic limitations, like those in the financial sector, corporate governance, regulatory oversight, legal framework, and exchange rate management. Managers of Asian economy need to get to the bottom of these acutely problematical systemic issues. Additionally, Asian economies need to change with the demands of time and devise their post-crisis development strategy. Asia’s growth model, that served it so well for four decades, is overdue for renewal so that it can re-strengthen its bonds with the ever-evolving regional and global economic reality. The old growth model is likely to be less relevant and effective in the post-crisis future of the Asian economies. It is sure to run into the wall of diminishing returns. An outstanding feature of Asian Economy and Finance: A Post-Crisis Perspective is that unlike most Asia-related books, it is written in a comprehensive and authoritative manner and covers large areas of Asian macro-economy and finance. The noteworthy areas of focus include global and intra-regional trade and investment, as well as financial and monetary aspects. In-depth discussions have been provided on regional integration through expanding trade, financial flows, regional production networks, financial and monetary co-operation. In taking a contemporary or post-crisis view of the Asian economy, this book offers the newest knowledge related to relevant themes on the Asian economies as well as the latest concepts. In a succinct manner, this book |
