This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is frequently argued that U.S. corporations have shorter time horizons for planning and investment than their Japanese and German competitors. This argument, though widely accepted in studies of U.S. competitiveness, has rarely been examined in depth. Time Horizons and Technology Investments explores the evidence that some U.S. corporations consistently select projects biased toward short-term return and addresses factors influencing the time-related preferences of U.S. corporate managers in selecting projects for investment. It makes recommendations to policymakers and managers about policies to mitigate negative external influences and about strategies to remove internal biases toward noncompetitive decisions.

Book excerpt: Examines the development of federal small business policy between 1936 and 1961. Particular attention is paid to the Robinson-Patman Act of 1936, the Miller-Tydings "Fair Trade" Act of 1937, the creation of Congressional small business committees in the early 1940s, the establishment of small business defense contract agencies during World War II and the Korean War, and the creation of the Small Business Administration during the second Eisenhower administration. Complementing this, the author reviews how various federal agencies, such as the Federal Trade Commission and the Small Business Administration have carried out their congressionally-mandated missions. The ethos of small business as a guarantor of democracy has a long history in American public policy. The first efforts to protect small business vitality took the form of antitrust legislation. However, judicial interpretations of the legislation and prosecutorial decisions caused antitrust law to have an effect on small businesses as injurious as helpful. The rise of urbanization led to department stores in cities, and the creation of a modern postal infrastructure led to mail-order houses. Although each of these threatened small business local monopolies, it was not until the advent of chain stores, with their ability to obtain large discounts from manufacturers, that small businesses faced a threat grave enough to inspire concerted lobbying. The result was the passage of the Robinson-Patman Act and the Miller-Tydings Act, which limited the availability of discounts and legalized price-fixing agreements designed to overcome chain-store competitive advantages. Wars in the middle of the twentieth century and their attendant crisis rhetoric legitimated in the public mind government intervention in the free market. Surveying various accounts of public choice, bureaucracy, and political entrepreneurship, and coupled with biographies of Congressional small business advocates, the author provides a historical and theoretical account of the institutionalization of small business assistance in American politics.

Download or read book Handbook of Business and Public Policy written by Aynsley Kellow and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-28 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive Handbook provides an analysis of the key issues, accomplishments, and challenges of research and practices related to the interactions between business and public policy. International expert contributors explore how the organizational structures of government and business have changed as the world has become more globalized, and as researchers have accumulated insights into why and how public policy is influenced by, and in turn influences, business. Examining how businesses themselves have increasingly contributed to the making and implementation of policy, chapters illuminate the most significant debates as well as the theoretical and empirical developments in these areas. This approach enables a comparison of the similarities and differences across the field of business and public policy as a whole. Identifying new directions and research questions in this rapidly evolving field, this Handbook will be a useful resource for academics and students of business and public policy, as well as related areas including corporate governance, political economy and international business. Practitioners and policy makers will also benefit from its illumination of the complex relationship between business and public policy.

This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from U. S. Governmental Policies Toward Technology Transfer by U. S. Business to Developing Nations: Should the U. S. Government Do More? International technology transfer, the process of trans ferring a product and/or the know-how and capability needed to use a body of existing technical knowledge, has become an increasingly important topic in recent years. Although the subject has been a concern since World War II, it was usually discussed with different terminology and within a military strategic context. However, as the U. S. Became more involved in international economic relations, the term assumed broader implications. Today, the subject is dis cussed within the context of (1) national security or the east-west aspect of technology transfer to American adversaries, (2) U. 8. Economic competitiveness, sometimes entitled the north-north aspect of technology transfer among the industrialized nations, and (3) assistance to developing nations or the north-south aspects of tech nology transfer from the industrialized nations to the Third World. The technology transfer process is embedded in trade, investment, and foreign assistance programs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Trends in the Innovation Ecosystem written by Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-09-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation has been a major engine of American economic and societal progress. It has increased per capita income more than sevenfold since the 19th century, has added three decades to the average lifespan, has revolutionized the way we communicate and share information, and has made the United States the strongest military power in the world. Without its historical leadership in innovation, the United States would be a very different country than it is today. Trends in the Innovation Ecosystem is the summary of two workshops hosted by the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP) of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine in February and May, 2013. Experts from industry, academia, and finance met to discuss the challenges involved in innovation pathways. Both workshops focused on the interactions between research universities and industry and the concept of innovation as a "culture" as opposed to an operational method. The goal was to gain a better understanding of what key factors contributed to successful innovations in the past, how today's environment might necessitate changes in strategy, and what changes are likely to occur in the future in the context of a global innovation ecosystem. This report discusses the state of innovation in America, obstacles to both innovation and to reaping the benefits of innovation, and ways of overcoming those obstacles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Read the Intro Chapter (PDF) View the Ayn Rand Appendix View an interview with author Robert L. Bradley, Jr. at Reason.com Capitalism took the blame for Enron although the company was anything but a free-market enterprise, and company architect was hardly a principled capitalist. On the contrary, Enron was a politically dependent company and, in the end, a grotesque outcome of America's mixed economy. That is the central finding of Robert L. Bradley's "Capitalism at Work": The blame for Enron rests squarely with "political capitalism"--a system in which business firms routinely obtain government intervention to further their own interests at the expense of consumers, taxpayers, and competitors. Although Ken Lay professed allegiance to free markets, he was in fact a consumate politician. Only by manipulating the levers of government was he able to transform Enron from a $3 billion natural gas company to a $100 billion chimera, one that went in a matter of months from seventh place on Fortune's 500 list to bankruptcy. But "Capitalism at Work" goes beyond unmasking Enron's sophisticated foray into political capitalism. Employing the timeless insights of Adam Smith, Samuel Smiles, and Ayn Rand, among others, Bradley shows how fashionable anti-capitalist doctrines set the stage for the ultimate business debacle. Those errant theories, like Enron itself, elevated form over substance, ignored legitimate criticism, and bypassed midcourse correction. Political capitali
