BEWARE THE WINNER’S CURSE

3 04 2012
“In this book, the authors have used an interesting approach in teaching some of the lessons learned in the technology downturn of the early twenty-first century. Beware the Winner’s Curse gives us alternative ways of thinking of asset values before we overpay for these assets.” -Joseph J. Bonocore, President & CEO, Impresa Technologies, Inc.

Beware the Winner’s Curse is a brutally honest review of how often investors lose money when management pursues winning at almost any cost. The authors present abundant examples of corporate hubris that should send shivers down the spine of any director serious about protecting shareowner interests.” -Harvey Seegers, former CEO, Global Exchange Services

DRAGON MULTINATIONAL

2 04 2012
This book contests such a view, describing the extraordinary success of a handful of multinationals from the “Periphery” in globalizing their operations extremely rapidly. Focusing on Acer, the Taiwanese IT company; the Hong Leong hotel group of Singapore; Ispat International in steel; Cemex of Mexico in cement; and Li and Fung from Hong Kong in contract manufacturing, Mathews demonstrates that these firms have been able to utilize strategies of international linkage and leverage to accelerate their global coverage.

2 04 2012

THE LAW AND ECONOMICS OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

2 04 2012
In this timely book, the law and economics of corporate governance is approached from a range of angles. This study reveals that perspectives are changing: they differ between the economic and the legal standpoint; they vary across countries; they evolve over time. A group of leading scholars offer their views – some provide fresh empirical evidence on existing theories; others attempt to develop new theoretical insights based on empirical puzzles. They all analyse the economics of corporate governance with a view to how it should, or should not, be regulated. Economic analysis of law proves to be the common language for understanding corporate governance on both sides of the Atlantic.





CHINA AND THE U. S. COMPARING GLOBAL INFLUENCE

2 04 2012
This book compares the People’s Republic of China’s (PRC) and U.S. projections of global influence, with an emphasis on non-coercive means or ‘soft power’, and suggests ways to think about U.S. foreign policy options in light of China’s emergence. The global public images of the two countries are compared in this book and PRC and U.S. uses of soft power tools are described, such as public diplomacy, state diplomacy, and foreign assistance. Other forms of soft power such as military diplomacy, global trade and investment, and sovereign wealth funds are also examined. Furthermore, this book analyses PRC and U.S. diplomatic and economic activities in five developing regions – Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America.





PROFITS YOU CAN TRUST: SPOTTING & SURVIVING ACCOUNTING LANDMINES

2 04 2012
Profits You Can Trust gives managers, directors, lenders, audit partners and analysts a clear framework to demystify global financial reporting in a market fraught with danger. Filled with provocative and enlightening examples, it offers a fresh perspective and clear guidance for everyone involved with financial reporting strategy and communication, as well as specific and easily understood questions that must be asked to avoid accounting landmines that can destroy even the most successful business. The authors begin with an overview of the challenges of financial literacy for business decision-makers operating in both U.S. and global environments, the reasons decision-makers tacitly “conspire” to inflate stated revenues and reduce stated costs, and how “small” lies inevitably lead to bigger ones. Next, using easy-to-understand examples, they discuss six key accounting minefields in detail.





POSTHARVEST HANDLING A SYSTEMS APPROACH

30 03 2012
This book is a revised and expanded version of the book titled Postharvest Handling: A Systems Approach published in 1993. Following the publication of the first book, the application of systems thinking and a systems approach to postharvest handling of fruits and vegetables has generated enough interest to stimulate the emergence of a multidisciplinary group of scientists interested in the topic. The systems approach applied to the fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain treats it as a single entity focused on the delivery of quality desired by consumers. The entity consists of individual businesses that increase benefits because they share the same values and recognize the effects of cooperation for their individual trade reputation. Attributes such as trust and reputation improve the competitive position of the fresh fruit and vegetable industry relative to other segments of the food market.

LATIN AMERICA IN CRISIS

21 03 2012
Latin America in Crisis builds a clear-eyed consideration of the fundamental economic and political realities of Latin America today onto a framework of introductory history.

Chapter 1 offers a basic overview of theories explaining Latin American poverty. Chapters 2-4 sweep across the contours of history till the mid-twentieth century. Chapters 5-7 focus on political and military dimensions of revolution and counterrevolution through the 1980s.

PANDERER TO POWER

21 03 2012

“We all owe a great debt to Fred Sheehan. Fred demolishes the myth of Alan Greenspan’s omniscience, while revealing the dangerous credulity of those who set him on a pedestal above the rest of us. Panderer to Power will be invaluable in making the case for how we might preserve our solvency and our system.”





THE MAKING OF NATIONAL ECONOMIC FORECASTS

21 03 2012
This important book, prepared under the direction of Nobel Laureate Lawrence R. Klein, shows how economic forecasts are made. It explains how modern developments in information technology have made it possible to forecast frequently – at least monthly but also weekly or bi-weekly – depending upon the perceived needs of potential forecasts users but also on the availability of updated material. The book focuses on forecasts in a diverse range of economies including the United States, China, India, Russia, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and Turkey. At a time of great economic uncertainty, this book makes an important contribution by showing how new information technology can be used to prepare national economic forecasts.





THE LAST ECONOMIC SUPERPOWER

21 03 2012
The last economic superpower went bust in September 2008. The financial tsunami that swept over Wall Street that month not only laid waste to venerable institutions like Lehman Brothers and battered the reputations of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and other financial stalwarts, but the “Made in America” crisis also undermined the capacity and credibility of the world’s last economic superpower—the United States. After years of living beyond its means and after amassing mountains of debt, the music finally stopped for a country that had long set the tune for the global economy and grown accustomed to standing at the pinnacle of the global economic order.





PEOPLE RESOURCING

19 03 2012

HRM AND PERFORMANCE

19 03 2012
The last decade of the twentieth century witnessed a phenomenal increase in the numbers of academics interested in human resource management and its relationship with performance. Earlier decades had seen bestsellers that focused on areas like marketing, strategy, and business process reengineering.
But the 1990s saw a wave of popular books embracing ‘people management’. Catchy titles like Competitive Advantage through People (Pfeffer, 1994), Living Strategy (Gratton, 2000), and HR Champions (Ulrich, 1997) have sold in their thousands if not tens of thousands.





WHY ICELAND?

19 03 2012
As late as the mid 1980s, Iceland’s economy revolved around little else than a semi-robust cod-fishing industry. By the end of the century, however, it had transformed itself into a major player in world finance, building an international banking empire worth twelve times its GDP. The tiny island nation of 300,000 was one of the global economy’s great success stories.

Este libro considera la economía en un entorno global, centrándose en el estudio de la macroeconomía real, donde el modelo macroeconómico está influido por varios factores a la vez.

Por ejemplo, las fórmulas que relacionan a las series uniformes con el presente y el futuro se muestran hasta en sus detalles más finos.





EL FINAL DE LA ECONOMÍA POLÍTICA

6 03 2012

Vivir dentro del Islam le enseña al musulmán que la transformación del medio social, en un sentido auténtico, sólo es posible por una transformación de sí mismo, y lo que es más importante, por el permiso de quien gobierna y ha creado el mundo, Allah, que alabado sea. Esto le hace al musulmán, perder el temor de la existencia, porque sólo teme a Allah

LA ESTRATEGIA DE INTERNACIONALIZACIÓN DE LA EMPRESA. UN ESTUDIO DE CASOS DE MULTINACIONALES VASCAS

26 02 2012
El fenómeno de la globalización es un fenómeno controvertido, polémico, extremista en su aceptación pública. Unos afirman que es positiva, otros niegan que lo sea, algunos (Stiglitz, 2002) creen que, teniendo potencial de ser una fuerza benéfica, tal como se ha gestionado ha causado sufrimiento y malestar, y otros, como Soros (2002), afirman que la globalización está desequilibrada. No obstante, sin entrar en dicho debate, lo que es irrefutable, es que se trata de un fenómeno absolutamente influyente en la gestión de las empresas, ya que está generando un nuevo entorno económico y empresarial.
