Virtual Futures for Design, Construction & Procurement

Architects and other designers inhabit a curious borderland between the virtual and the physical. They have always been concerned with conjuring up things that don’t exist but might, imagining them in detail, and eventually finding ways to translate these visions into physical reality. Over the last half-century, computer-generated virtual worlds have played an increasingly crucial role i…

Firms that meet certain criteria can register debt or equity securities for issuance any time during the subsequent two years. This process is known as shelf registration.

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. This chapter aims to give some political background to this analysis by looking, very selectively, at a few of the pressures which exist for West European collaboration in defence and security policy in general. Logically, the …

RESEARCH IN ACCOUNTING REGULATION

Principles of Financial Economics

Financial economics plays a far more prominent role in the training of economists than it did even a few years ago. This change is generally attributed to the parallel transformation in capital markets that has occurred in recent years. It is true that trillions of dollars of assets are traded daily in financial markets—for derivative securities like options and futures, for example—that h…

RESEARCH IN GOVERNMENTAL AND NONPROFIT ACCOUNTING VOLUME 11

We present a review of the governmental capital markets research that has been conducted since Ingram et al. (1987). The review indicates that much of the research conducted in the last fifteen years involves the new issue bond market. Increased attention is also given to research in the secondary market. However, much of the secondary market research fails to examine the specific relationshi…

OECD Principles for Integrity in Public Procurement

Governments and state-owned enterprises purchase a wide variety of goods, services and public works from the private sector, from basic computer equipment to the construction of roads. Public procurement is a key economic activity of governments that represents a significant percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) generating huge financial flows, estimated on average at 10-15% of GD…

Patients developing end stage renal disease can be treated by haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or transplantation. Kidney transplantation is now generally accepted as the primary therapy for chronic renal failure in most patients, with the exception of those who cannot tolerate immunosuppressive treatment or transplant surgery [1]. Many reasons justify the use of kidneys from living do…

Logistic Core Operations with SAP

The most imperative challenge facing a number of managers in recent years has been to regain lost market share and secure new competitive advantages. The impetus for this trend continues to be the ubiquitous tendency toward globalization and the ensuing intensification of international competition. Customer orientation, lean management and re-engineering are the buzzwords that characterize …

Lean Supply Chain Management

With any new work, the question that always has to be answered is—why? Why a new book on supply chain management and procurement? Why another book about lean systems? Why should we care? Is there anything more important that we can learn from the concept of lean supply chain management? Why a new book on supply chain management? The answer is simply because the works that exist tend to tr…

Managing the Politics of Reform

After decades of research, discussion, and debate, economists have finally acknowledged the importance, if not the primacy, of institutions as the bedrock of sustained growth and development. While policies can make a difference, recent econometric studies indicate that much will depend on the institutions that govern a country (Rodrik, Subramanian, and Trebbi 2002). Institutions, in this c…

Advances in Monetary Policy and Macroeconomics

In September 2005 we organized a conference at the University of Cassino, Italy, the aim of which was to explore ‘The Keynesian Legacy in Macro- economic Modelling’. In the postwar period, macroeconomic modelling of developed economies was mainly rooted in Keynesian theory up to the 1970s, when the failure of applied models to deal with stagflation led to a shift in economic theory towards …

Essays on Keynesian and Kaldorian Economics

Keynes’s General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money is undoubtedly regarded as the most important book on economics in the twentieth century, and this view would be shared, I think, by those who are wholly opposed to its teaching as well as by its adherents. Nearly 50 years after its appearance controversy still rages around its basic ideas and prescriptions, and I do not think that a…
