Download or read book Collisions in the Digital Paradigm written by David John Harvey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-23 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been said that the only asset that a lawyer has is time. But the reality is that a lawyer's greatest asset is information. The practice and the business of law is all about information exchange. The flow of information travels in a number of different directions during the life of a case. A client communicates certain facts to a lawyer. The lawyer assimilates those facts and seeks out specialised legal information which may be applicable to those facts. In the course of a generation there has been a technological revolution which represents a paradigm shift in the flow of information and communication. Collisions in the Digital Paradigm is about how the law deals with digital information technologies and some of the problems that arise when the law has to deal with issues arising in a new paradigm.

Book excerpt: Paradigm Shifts & Structural Changes - in Pursuit of Progress in the Caribbean Community This publication consists of a significant number of scholarly papers from eminent Caribbean Intellectuals and academics, committed to the advancement of regional integration. It encapsulates articles which represent views on CARICOM, covering a wide spectrum of issues from conception, through current trials and tribulations, into bold peeks into the future. The contribution by the late Hon. Best and Dr. St. Cyr, is particularly interesting as it dares to try to impose paradigm shifts on both the methodology to be used, and on the desirable destination to be sought, if future generations are not to decry the current generation for this myopia.

Book A Tale of Two PARADIGMS

Download or read book A Tale of Two PARADIGMS written by Dr. Tony LaTurner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any company or individual that has experience installing a Materials Requirement Program (MRP), an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), program or a sophisticated accounting system or any of the newer quality initiative has learned firsthand the importance of first, preparing and collecting the right data first. Remember the importance of the Bill of Materials (BOM)? We even coined the phrase 'garbage in, garbage out,' from those days. It would take a normal company, years to straighten out the MRP installations, because they were normally installed without any forethought. Well, establishing a good company quality improvement program today, takes as much or more in preparation and effort. The problems companies face are basically all the same; poor preparation and lack foresight of the impact on the company, the customer and the supplier. Companies always underestimate the extent of the installation effort and the total impact on the entire system. By installed a new program or upgrade to an existing program it always impacts most parts of the whole system, besides the internal workings of the installing company. It's not that most business personnel aren't in agreement that programs using Lean, Six Sigma and TOe disciplines are good logical approaches to achieving worthwhile quality results, its' just that implementing a worthwhile semblance of a decent program, and reaping the benefits, has avoided our expectations. Everyone knows about TQM and can already suggest they have implemented a semblance of a program already, but at what present benefit? By implementing the best of logical thinking existing today, a new paradigm of performance, companies that are manufacturers, retailers, distributors and service, can recognize potentials they presently do not know how to find. What all executives or, managers of companies want, are to feel a sense of accomplishment through improving growth and profitability, not manipulating figures. This book follows a logical progression continually expanding almost all company's problems needed changing before making a quality initiative change. If you are interested in learning what many world class companies have already discovered, this book is for you. Many would suggest becoming world class, is a hard path to take because they are constantly trying. It is not! A clear path to take, yes, but hard, no, if it is done right! I hope the following will make your path easier. This book is written for anyone interested in making business a career. The following approach has taken forty years to mature. You can take advantage and do it in two, 'if you are diligent! '

Book Expanding the Measure of Wealth

Download or read book Expanding the Measure of Wealth written by and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is part of a recently completed research project at the World Bank that reviewed the macroeconomic experience of 18 developing countries from the mid-1960s. The period encompassed two oil shocks, two world recessions, a sharp rise in world interest rates, the debt crisis, and changes in exchange rate regimes. In this context, Colombia provides an almost unparalleled example of steady long-term economic growth despite external shocks, political crises, civil strife, reliance on a single, dominant commodity (coffee), and the rising importance of illicit drugs in the economy. Courting Turmoil and Deferring Prosperity looks at how Colombia managed to avoid major prolonged economic crises against all odds. Its economy has confronted several external and internal shocks from the mid-1960s, mainly due to the country's reliance on exports of coffee, the price volatility of which can greatly affect the economy. The period also witnessed major policy changes, including a long-term shift from an essentially inward-oriented development strategy, based on industrialization through import substitution, to an outward-oriented, export-led strategy. The authors' analysis differs from most existing literature on the Colombian economy in two important ways: it evaluates policy responses to shocks in terms of their success in achieving short-run stabilization, as well as their impact on long-run growth; and it explores the intimate links between economic policies and the specific political and social ideologies, institutions, and structures in Colombia that have historically conditioned government policymaking. The report also highlights the role of prudent macroeconomic policies for crisis avoidance and analyzes the links between fiscal policy, trade policy, and exchange rates.

Book The New Paradigm for Financial Markets

Download or read book The New Paradigm for Financial Markets written by George Soros and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2008-05-06 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of the most serious financial upheaval since the Great Depression, legendary financier George Soros explores the origins of the crisis and its implications for the future. Soros, whose breadth of experience in financial markets is unrivaled, places the current crisis in the context of decades of study of how individuals and institutions handle the boom and bust cycles that now dominate global economic activity. "This is the worst financial crisis since the 1930s," writes Soros in characterizing the scale of financial distress spreading across Wall Street and other financial centers around the world. In a concise essay that combines practical insight with philosophical depth, Soros makes an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the great credit crisis and its implications for our nation and the world.

Book Leading Major Change in Your Ministry

Download or read book Leading Major Change in Your Ministry written by Jeff Iorg and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many ministries must undergo major change in order to fulfill their mission, and more importantly, to fulfill God’s mission, in today’s world. This book tells the story of the relocation of Gateway Seminary—as well as other stories of major change. In doing so, it lays out the principles and processes necessary to get the job done. The first section of Leading Major Change in Your Ministry outlines foundational concepts to leading major change. The second section explains a six-fold model for leading major change in churches and ministry organizations. The book includes illustrations throughout, not from hypothetical situations, but from real-life ministry challenges in both local churches and large organizations. While theories about leading major change are interesting, practical insight about how to do it—written by someone who has led multiple organizations through major change—is far more helpful. The stakes are high. Leadership decisions in ministries have eternal consequences. Almost every church or organization needs—or soon will need—to be led through major change. Leading Major Change in Your Ministry is your guide to successfully getting it done.

Book Shifting Paradigms

Download or read book Shifting Paradigms written by Zia Qureshi and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2022-01-11 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addressing the big questions about how technological change is transforming economies and societies Rapid technological change—likely to accelerate as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic—is reshaping economies and how they grow. But change also causes disruption, creates winners and losers, and produces social stress. This book examines the challenges of digital transformation and suggests how creative policies can make it more productive and inclusive. Shifting Paradigms is the second book on technological change produced by a joint research project of the Brookings Institution and the Korea Development Institute. Contributors are experts from the United States, Europe, and Korea. The first volume, Growth in a Time of Change, was published by Brookings in February 2020. The book's underlying thesis is that the future is arriving faster than expected. Long-accepted paradigms about economic growth are changing as digital technologies transform markets and nearly every aspect of business and work. Change will only intensify with advances in artificial intelligence and other innovations. Investors, business leaders, workers, and public officials face many questions. Is rising market concentration inevitable with the new technologies or can their benefits be more widely shared? How can the promise of FinTech be captured while managing risks? Should workers fear the new automation? Are technology-driven shifts in business and work causing income inequality to rise? How should public policy respond? Shifting Paradigms addresses these questions in an engaging manner for anyone interested in understanding how the economic and social agenda is being transformed by today's winds of change.

Book The Energy Security Climate Nexus

Download or read book The Energy Security Climate Nexus written by C. Kuzemko and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the advent of important crises of both climate change and energy supply (in)security, questions are being asked about changes in energy governance. Caroline Kuzemko explains how and why change takes place and discusses the convoluted UK energy governance system that has emerged between 2000 and the present day. She applies a complex theoretical approach based on new institutional concepts of policy paradigm change, but which also utilises concepts of (de)politicisation and securitization. UK energy governance, like energy policy elsewhere, is moving from one heavily influenced by neoliberal economic ideas to one where state intervention is more commonplace. Moreover, the new governance system is informed not by one but by multiple perspectives on energy and governance geopolitical, climate change and pro-market.

Book The Changing Paradigm of Consulting

Download or read book The Changing Paradigm of Consulting written by Anthony F. Buono and published by IAP. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 13th volume in the RMC series, The Changing Paradigm of Consulting, is based on the best papers presented at the Academy of Management’s Management Consulting Division’s fourth international conference (2009) on the underlying dynamics within the fast-paced world of business and management consulting. Held in Vienna, Austria, the conference brought together academicians, consultants and organizational practitioners to examine the changes taking place within the consulting field. The book’s 19 chapters are divided into five sections that explore the emergence and implications of this new paradigm, delineating and illustrating the paradigm shift taking placing within consulting, exploring the ramifications for global consulting, examining the challenges inherent in attempts to capture collaboration and cooperation in inter-organizational networks, analyzing the push toward the professionalization – and professionalism – of consultancy, and assessing new approaches to management consulting, focusing on innovative instruments, tools and intervention frameworks. The book captures the myriad complexities and uncertainties faced by consultants and their clients and the concomitant search for appropriate mindsets, attitudes and orientations as well as methods, tools and techniques. As each of the chapters indicates, while there are significant challenges facing the consulting industry, there are also a number of promising frameworks and approaches that can help us successfully meet these challenges.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The states of West Asia continue to grapple with dramatic changes taking place in the domestic and regional environment. Security has emerged as a significant concern for them. Political upheavals, civil strife, sectarian violence and terrorism in the area have implications on a regional and global order. As the region grapples with myriad socio-economic problems, many extra-regional players and non-state actors, and a few regional ones, are attempting to carve out their own areas of influence. These developments across West Asia demand constant monitoring and careful analyses. This book is a collection of essays exploring various aspects of the changing security paradigm in West Asia and the regional and international responses.
