Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume in a major new series, this book will be an essential read for all those who need to deal with the causes and consequences of rapid technological change in an increasingly globalized world, whether they be government policy-makers, managers of multi-national corporations, commentators on the international scene or specialists in and students of international politics, economics and business studies. The authors discuss three related areas: * How do we think about technology and international relations/international political economy? How does technology relate to competitiveness? How does it inlfuence our culture and how is it influenced by it? * In what sense is technology a fundamental component of national competitive advantage and what ought national, local and corporate policy to be in the light of this? * What is the relationship between technological innovation and global political and economic change? Technology is discussed not just in an instrumental sense - as a tool of power and an object of policy - but equally in a transcendental sense - as a key to shaping and structuring how we understand and interpret reality. The final section of the book presents case studies of three core sectors of the world political economy, finance , aviation and automobiles.

This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural rate of unemploymentEconomists believe why natural rate of unemployment will occur in any countries. They indicate that during economy condition keeps at the balance situation ( condition), anyway any country government adopts any policy. However, the natural rate of unemployment won't reach to zero level as well as there are some people will still unemployed or it is possible that some people will be alternative employment between any time. Hence, it means that although US and UK is an developed country. It can not guarantee there are not any people unemployed, so the natural rate of unemployment will not reach to zero level.So, it seems that US and UK current economy condition had kept at the balance situation ( condition). Thus, even future science, technology, engineering and mathematics workers will drive US innovation and competitiveness by new ideas, new companies and new industries in US. However, US and UK employers frequently concern the supply and availability of this kind of workers. Over the past 10 years, growth in this kind of jobs was three times as fast as growth to general jobs in US. In the future the Natural rate of unemployment of US and UK science, technology, engineering and mathematics worker number must not reach zero level.Anyway, in the future, the perspective of bio-medical industry will be an alternative growth scenario. So, US and UK government will need to modest improvements in key policy areas to adopt bio-medical industry needs, e.g. more favorable coverage and payment policies for medical innovation, improvements in regulatory policy to create efficiencies in research and development process and improvements in policy to incentive R & D ( research and development) create efficiencies in the R & D process.As an industry rooted in science and advanced manufacturing, the innovation bio-medical industry is uniquely position to help maintain US leadership in new technologies and scientific to continue to create high quality, high wage R&D and manufacturing jobs and enhance America's global competitiveness in the future. In the future the Natural rate of unemployment of US and UK of bio-medical industry worker number must not reach zero level. Thus, if future US had enough job number which could supply to these high technological and bio medical industries of labors to do. However, the natural rate of unemployment must not reach at zero level and it does not represent its economy is poor because one developed country, such as US had been experiencing economy condition keeps at the balance situation( condition), so it's natural rate of unemployment must not reach zero level . Otherwise, the developing countries

This book was released on 2007 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the United States in danger of losing its competitive edge in science and technology "S & T"? In response to this concern, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness asked RAND to convene a meeting, held on November 8, 2006, to review evidence presented by experts from academia, government, and the private sector. The papers presented at the meeting addressed a wide range of issues surrounding the United States' current and future S & T competitiveness, including science policy, the quantitative assessment of S & T capability, globalization, the rise of Asia "particularly China and India", innovation, trade, technology diffusion, the increase in foreign-born S & T students and workers in the United States, new directions in the management and compensation of federal S & T workers, and national security and the defense industry. These papers provide a partial survey of the facts, challenges, and questions posed by the potential erosion of U.S.S & T capability. The importance of S & T to U.S. prosperity and security warrants that policymakers pay careful attention to the various high-level reports issued over the past ve years that warn of pressures on the U.S. lead in S & T. The intellectual point of embarkation for the RAND meeting was the foremost recent such report, Rising Above the Gathering Storm: Energizing and Employing America for a Brighter Economic Future, by the National Academy of Sciences.
