Workforce Development

Workforce development is an overarching term used to describe a wide range of education, training and professional development activities carried out in the workplace. In this series of two books, we have endeavoured to follow the emergence of workforce development from initial concept to final application. In our first book, Workforce development: Perspective and issues, we brought together a …

The How and Why of One Variable Calculus

This book is meant as a textbook for an honours course in Calculus, and is aimed at first year students beginning studies at the university. The preparation assumed is high school level Mathematics. Any arguments not met before in high school (for example, geometric arguments à la Euclid) can be picked up along the way or simply skipped without any loss of continuity. This book may also be us…

RETHINKING SOVEREIGN DEBT 

Sovereign debt markets have demonstrated incredible resil- ience despite a century of dramatic political and economic up- heaval. Among the most remarkable aspects of the contemporary debt regime is the degree to which expectations of borrowers remain rela- tively uniform even in the face of such major shifts. These basic expecta- tions resolve into one background rule: sovereign borrowers mus…

Mathematical Modelling of Zombies

In 2009, I published an article I thought would amuse me and no one else: a mathematical model of zombies. The idea was to examine a hypothetical zombie apocalypse through the lens of disease modelling: that is, using the same types of differential equations I use every day to examine the spread of infections such as HIV, malaria, human papillomavirus and a variety of tropical diseases. What …

LEAN Supply Chain Planning

Today, many global supply chains in process industries are neither equipped nor orchestrated to cope effectively with the new VUCA world we are facing. VUCA—volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity—is an acronym that originated in the military back in the late 1990s and was quickly adapted to the business environment. It describes precisely the conditions of increasing variability…

A Risk

The total set of industries from Value Line is used to demonstrate that business risk and return are negatively correlated across companies within industries. Some empirical questions about industries themselves are also raised. The concepts of income smoothing and corporate strategy are utilized to explain this apparent paradox. Further work is both suggested and elaborated.

Lectures on the Theory of Group Properties of Differential Equations

When I studied at Novosibirsk State University (Russian) I was lucky to have such brilliant teachers in mathematics as M.A. Lavrentyev, S.L. Sobolev, A.I. Mal’tsev, Yu.G. Reshetnyak and others. But it were L.V. Ovsyannikov’s lectures in Ordinary differential equations, Partial differential equations, Gas dynamics and Group properties of differential equations that were of the most benefit f…

A Project Management Primer or “a guide on how to make projects work”

Many projects fail because of the simplest of causes. You don’t have to be a genius to deliver a project on time, nor do you have to be steeped a mystical project management methodology to be a project manager. If an averagely competent person can’t deliver a project successfully after reading this then I will run buck naked through Times Square on my 75th birthday. See if I don’t!

The 3 pillars of personal effectiveness

There are a lot of personal productivity and self help methods out there but where do they all fit in and which one should I choose? I have found that none of these techniques cover all aspects of becoming an effective person and I think there is a good reason for that. Personal effectiveness is a huge topic and requires a variety of skills. In this mini book I will step back and introduce the…

Management

What does a well-run company look like? You might say that it is popular or that its sales are high, but these can be fleeting things. You could say that it has a famous brand or a prominent leader, but familiar brands and well-publicized leaders can fall from grace. You can say that a well-managed company makes a big profit, but most busi- ness experts agree that a better measure of success is…
