Book excerpt: The American Internet Advantage examines reasons for and implications of U.S. dominance in the Internet business. The development of Internet technology, the comparative study of its uses in the U.S. and Europe, and the unanticipated consequences of political decisions and technological programs suggest that the role of government planning pales in significance to the complexity of the modern global order being shaped by the Internet through the confluence and clash of various interests. The future of this new global society is unpredictable, but strong ideological commitments and pragmatism may spell the difference between disaster and success for positive social change. While particularly appealing to scholars and graduate students in international political economy, comparative politics, and history of technology, the educated general public will also find this book readable and interesting.

Book excerpt: There is no doubt that electronic marketing has contributed positively in the life of modern societies, mainly the consuming societies. It allowed purchasing of materials cheaply without any limit, and without any restrictions. It also gave the chance to make a free selection and comparison between the prices of goods at the electronic department stores throughout the Internet. All such facilities are given to the consumers in a very short time without causing them to leave their office or home. In addition, the Electronic Marketing has exterminated the monopoly of goods and materials, all such acts of course are for the consumer's benefit. However, in addition to such advantages there are many disadvantages of such type of marketing; the Electronic Marketing has deleted the privacy of the consumer, because all of his movements through the Internet have been divulged and under control, in addition to lack of exclusive security through the Internet. Accordingly, many losses equally occurred to the customer and the merchant due to such acts of hackers who reveal the information and credit cards details. In addition, the Electronic Marketing caused many merchants, agents and monopolists to be vanquished because it gave the chance for direct communications between the producer and the consumer without passing through them; as such, many of such merchants have been yielded away from the way of this new technology. The Electronic Marketing was able to cause an upset down in many concepts and standards of economic science that have existed for so many years. Doors are still open for every new in this assumption and endless world as there are no limits that can stop such human ambition.

Download or read book Signposts in Cyberspace written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-08-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Domain Name System (DNS) enables user-friendly alphanumeric namesâ€"domain namesâ€"to be assigned to Internet sites. Many of these names have gained economic, social, and political value, leading to conflicts over their ownership, especially names containing trademarked terms. Congress, in P.L. 105-305, directed the Department of Commerce to request the NRC to perform a study of these issues. When the study was initiated, steps were already underway to address the resolution of domain name conflicts, but the continued rapid expansion of the use of the Internet had raised a number of additional policy and technical issues. Furthermore, it became clear that the introduction of search engines and other tools for Internet navigation was affecting the DNS. Consequently, the study was expanded to include policy and technical issues related to the DNS in the context of Internet navigation. This report presents the NRC's assessment of the current state and future prospects of the DNS and Internet navigation, and its conclusions and recommendations concerning key technical and policy issues.

Download or read book Advantage How American Innovation Can Overcome the Asian Challenge written by Adam Segal and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-01-10 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thoughtful . . . . [Segal's] striking argument is that the challengers [India and China] lack America's resilient, open and risk-taking culture." —Economist The emergence of India and China as economic powers has shifted the global landscape and called into question the ability of the United States to compete. Advantage sorts out the challenges the United States faces and focuses on what drives innovation, what constrains it, and what strengths we have to leverage. Entirely recasting the stakes of the debate, Adam Segal makes the compelling case for the crucial role of the “software” of innovation. By bolstering its politics, social relations, and institutions that move ideas from the lab to the marketplace, the United States can preserve its position as a global power. With up-to-the minute economic and political data, this is a resounding call to tie innovation to larger social goals in an age of global science and technology.
Download or read book The China Path to Economic Transition and Development written by Yinxing Hong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by the renowned Chinese scholar Dr. Yinxing Hong provides the reader with a perceptive analysis of what has worked in China’s development model. Over the past 30 years, China has experienced a remarkable economic rise, but it now faces the challenge of switching the drivers of this economic growth, which have proven so successful. The path has not been an easy one, and many challenges lie ahead. However, the rise of the Chinese economy has been the most significant global development in recent years. Is there a specific Chinese model? How was the Chinese transition, from a Soviet-style economic structure to one that is more open to market influences and the global market, achieved? In 15 essays, Dr. Hong provides fascinating insights to these and other key questions. The essays cover the challenges involved in transition and how the market-oriented reforms progressed; what the consequences of the transition were for public goods provision and how China opened up its economic system. The essays in Part II address the remaining challenges facing rural areas trying to develop a more consumer-driven economic base, and how to effectively modify the model of economic development. This book provides a sound basis for policymakers and scholars alike, as well as anyone who wants to get an insider’s view of the progress and challenges faced by China’s economic development.
Download or read book A Reliable Avenue written by Michael Hart and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-09-26 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Reliable Avenue is a book written in two stages. The first spanned February and March of 2000, when most poems were written, the second was in June of the same year, and resulted in 20 or so poems. It includes all seven poems that were published in my first chapbook ever, entitled Perpetual Mirages of Existence. Also, when I was completing the present book, I already had the cumulative experience of more than 400 poems and several poetry books behind me. Hence I felt my craft was relatively reliable. The poems in this book range from very personal to more detached poems of observation, or poems that touch on social philosophy. The example of the latter would be The Limits of Wisdom. I feel that a poet should not talk too much about his poetry books, but let them speak for themselves. So pick up this reliable creation of Michael Hart and feel and think with him.
