Download or read book Enhancing Competitiveness in Small Developing States written by Robert A Stoddard and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help students, practitioners and policy makers gain an understanding of the existential challenges that confront small developing states that have resulted in several economic fallouts to the extent that some countries have experienced the demise of many of their traditional industries. It also presents a compendium of approaches, tools and policies that can assist in resolving some of the lingering challenges faced by these countries. It is envisaged that these approaches will invariably increase their competitiveness and thereby contribute to economic growth. The book also analyzed the policy and regulatory environment in several small developing states and has developed approaches that are critical to strengthening the institutional capacity in support of the SME sector. This is an imperative in their quest to become more productive and competitive and thereby create opportunities for sustained economic growth. Emanating from a regional study of the industrial status in the CARICOM Member States, it proposes new and revised approaches to public policy on many development issues. The book is replete with insights, inspiring real life cases and offers alternative approaches to development.

This book was released on 2009-06-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Perspective on Two Decades of Rapid Modeling It is an honor for me to be asked to write a foreword to the Proceedings of the 1st Rapid Modeling Conference. In 1987, when I coined the term “Rapid Modeling” to denote queuing modeling of manufacturing systems, I never imagined that two decades later there would be an international conference devoted to this topic! I am delighted to see that there will be around 40 presentations at the conference by leading researchers from aroundthe world, and about half of these presentationsare represented by written papers published in this book. I congratulate the conference organizers and program committee on the success of their efforts to hold the ?rst ever conference on Rapid Modeling. Attendees at this conferencemight?nd it interesting to learn about the history of the term Rapid Modeling in the context it is used here. During the fall of 1986 I was invited to a meeting at the Headquarters of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) in Dearborn, Michigan. By that time I had successfully demonstrated s- eral industry applications of queuing network models at leading manufacturers in the USA. Although in principle the use of queuing networks to model manufact- ing systems was well known in the OR/MS community and many papers had been published,the actual use of suchmodelsby manufacturingprofessionalswas almost nonexistent.
