RESEARCH IN PERSONNEL AND HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT. Vol 22

In response to demands and opportunities of the labor market, contemporary employers and employees voluntarily are entering into highly customized agreements regarding nonstandard employment terms.

Project Management and Leadership Skills for Engineering and Construction Pro…

If one word could describe the essence of project management it is responsibility. The project manager (PM) is responsible for all that happens on a project. This doesn’t mean the project manager should or could do everything associated with the project; it does mean the PM owns ultimate responsibility for the project, regardless of who is on the project team and regardless of the obstacles…

Our trainees come f…

INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Organisations are devices for creating value through the effective use of resources. While they need to create value for all contributors of resources, a premium is placed on value creation for customers and shareholders. After all, an organisation is unlikely to be able to offer inducements to other resource contributors if it does not provide value to its customers. Also, shareholders are awa…

Global Governance in Accounting

When we think about the future of the modern state, we encounter a puzzling variety of scholarly diagnoses and prophecies. Some authors predict nothing less than the total demise of the state as a useful model for organizing society – its powers eroded by a dynamic global economy and by an increasing transference of political decision-making powers to supranational bodies. Others disagree p…

ADVANCED TEXTS IN ECONOMETRICS

Over the last five decades, significant advances in the estimation and inference of various econometric models have taken place. This includes the classical linear model where the explanatory variables are nonstochastic (fixed) and the error is normally distributed, and the non-classical models, where these classical assumptions are violated. These models are frequently used in applied work, su…

THE EUROPEAN ARMAMENTS MARKET AND PROCUREMENT COOPERATION

The principal purpose of this book is to analyse where the West Europeans have succeeded or failed in their attempts at cooperation in defence procurement, and why.

CURRENT ISSUES IN ECONOMICS

The Current Issues series has slightly unusual origins. Current Issues in International Trade, which Macmillan published in 1987 and which turned out to be the pilot for the series, was in fact 'conceived' in the Horton Hospital, Banbury, and 'delivered' (in the sense of completed) in the Hilton International in Nicosia! The reader may be struck by the thought that a more worthwhile and enjoyab…

An Introduction to Building Procurement Systems

An examination of the historical background to the use of procurement systems shows that in the post-war period up to the early 1970s, despite all relevant official reports and studies recommending otherwise, the majority of building work was carried out by conventional methods of procurement with only a relatively small number of projects being implemented by means of, what were then, non…
