This book was released on 1983 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A consultant with McKinsey & Company surveys the international aluminum industry and asks why its various activities are divided among firms in the way that they are. These components include the minding of bauxite, its refining into alumina, aluminum smelting, fabrication, and manufacture of the final product. What is it about this industry that encourages joint ventures in some cases, long-term contracts in others, and vertical integration and merger in still others? The author identifies and analyzes the factors which motivate firms to adopt one or another of these patterns of doing business. He draws on and extends recent developments in theory relating to the operation of markets and organizations, and tests the power of theories to explain what is observed in the industry. He has assembled a great deal of empirical evidence, focusing on the United States, Japan, and Australia. The book should become the standard study of the aluminum industry.

Download or read book The World Aluminum Industry in a Changing Energy Era written by Merton J. Peck and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a heavy user of electricity the primary aluminium smelting industry is a leading example of the effects of variations in energy costs. This title tells the story that with the rise in energy costs, three regions—Japan, the United States, and Western Europe –have become high-cost locations for primary aluminium production relative to three other regions—Australia, Brazil, and Canada. First published in 1988, this volume presents an analysis of the public policy choices regarding the aluminium industry and electric power in both low-cost power countries and high-cost power countries. The World Aluminium Industry in a Changing Energy World is ideal for policy makers and students interested in environmental studies.

Download or read book An Econometric Model of the U S Copper and Aluminum Industries written by Margaret E. Slade and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1984. This book addresses the economics of the changing mineral industry, which is highly affected by energy economics. The study estimates, in quantitative terms, the short- to mid-term consequences of rising energy prices alongside falling ore quality for the copper and aluminum industries. The effects of changing cost factors on substitution between metals is assessed as is the potential for relying on increased recycling. Copper and aluminum industry problems should be representative of those faced by the mineral processing sector as a whole. Two complex econometric models presented here produce forecasts for the industries and the book discusses and reviews other econometric commodity models.

Download or read book Mineral Economics and Policy written by John E. Tilton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an introduction to the field of mineral economics and its use in understanding the behaviour of mineral commodity markets and in assessing both public and corporate policies in this important economic sector. The focus is on metal and non-metallic commodities rather than oil, coal, and other energy commodities. The work draws on John Tilton's teaching experience over the last 30 years at the Colorado School of Mines and the Catholic University of Chile, as well as short courses for RioTinto and other mining companies. This is combined with the professional consulting and academic research of Juan Ignacio Guzmán over the past decade, in order to demonstrate the industry application of the economic principles described in the earlier chapters. The book should be an ideal text for graduate and undergraduate students in the fields of mining engineering and natural resource economics and policy. It should also be of interest to professionals and investors in mining and commodity markets, and those undertaking continuing education in the mineral sector.

Download or read book Corporate Imperialism written by Norman Girvan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 1976. The anticolonial revolution of the 1950s challenged the edifice of political imperialism established by the European powers in the nineteenth century. In the 1970s another revolution appears to be sweeping the Third World, a movement which seeks to challenge the new imperialism of the transnational corporations (TNCs) established in the twentieth century. These essays, written explicitly from a Third World perspective, suggest that conflict between Third World states and transnational corporations in natural resource industries is an inherent and dialectical result of a system of corporate imperialism.
