Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This insightful book offers a new and innovative tool in the study of development. The authors propose ‘The Overall Development Model’ which provides a strategy for long-term, sustainable and adaptable development for countries around the globe. Starting with a comprehensive study into what development is and how it is achieved, Development Management of Transforming Economies critically analyzes current development schemes within transforming economies and examines their various actors both international and local, public and private. It examines the implementation of health, education and economic strategies of countries in Africa and Asia that have either undergone a development process, experienced slow but steady progress, or are just beginning to pursue a development strategy. In considering human development as a whole, the authors assert a new method of development that includes the developing population, and highlights the need for countries to define their own unique development process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization stems from the verb “to globalize”, which embodies the concept of international interdependence and influence between various social and economic systems. In an increasingly globalized market environment, there is an impetus for many firms to look to foreign markets in order to maintain competitive advantage. Over recent years, it has been possible to see dramatic changes that have strong impacts on all businesses. Strategic process can provide an overall strategic direction to the management of an organization, and gives a specific direction to areas like financial strategy, marketing strategy, organizational development strategy and human resources strategy, in order to achieve success. Innovation is the foundation of economic growth and corporate prosperity. Finally, entrepreneurship provides all the necessary mobilization for this growth and prosperity. In this respect, this book provides scientific evidence and direction to businesses competing in the contemporary competitive and changing environment. As such, it is an essential reference source, building on the available literature in the field of globalization, strategic management and innovation use, while providing for further research opportunities in this dynamic field. The book presents research and paradigms that transcend classical theory in order to examine how business practice is positively affected by these conditions. Across a multitude of sectors and organisational types, scholars of different business specialisations set the theoretical foundations of contemporary thinking and present their practical implementations.

Download or read book Merger and Acquisition Strategies written by Angelo Dringoli and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decision to carry out a merger or acquisition is certainly a risky one, not least because of the number of variables influencing the final outcome. It is also a decision frequently based on the wrong objectives and an incorrect evaluation process. With this in mind, this important new book offers solutions for reducing the high percentage of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) that fail. It adopts a normative approach, using theoretical analysis to show what managers could and should do to increase shareholders’ value through successful M&A strategies. It also explores the conditions that are suitable for favouring a certain type of M&A (horizontal, vertical or diversified) over the others. In conclusion, the book presents case studies of successful M&A strategies providing a link between theory and practice.

Download or read book Money and Gift at Work written by Davide Pellegrini and published by EGEA spa. This book was released on 2013-01-18T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequent attempts by companies to promote, intermediate and intercept individual conversations within digital communities are today opening up new ideological debate. In this work, our aim was to ascertain whether the new social ŇgameÓ is actually providing wealth for players, and examine any theoretical implications of the growing overlap between dialogue and sale, between market and society or, more simply, between money and gift. A review of recent literature is followed by discussion of logic and empirical evidence, which leads into a focus on the convergence currently taking place between the roles of customer and citizen. We develop a new theory of convergence and test it through a specially developed model of a Ňco-value chainÓ. The metrics of the Covalue Model are used to measure and clarify the roles of customers, companies and communities. The model is applied to a large number of recent case histories, providing a topical focus on implications for management.
Download or read book Technological Innovation and the Effect of the Employment on the EU Countries written by Andrea Vicini and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovation and employment can be a good marriage. Following on from an analysis of the classical economists, the author challenges the old paradigm of ‘innovation means unemployment’, which has dominated the economic debate for centuries. Is it possible to promote technological change as well as innovation and employment? At what point do technological change and innovation become labour friendly? These are among the topics examined in detail in the enclosed essays. This book considers a set of EU countries in which the results leave no doubts: innovation and employment can be an engine for an increase in employment, but the most important thing is the building of an adequate ecosystem. In this global era, national systems and the organisation of institutions (such as centres of education, legislation, academia and research) remain critical factors and play an important role in the success and the failure of innovation policy.

Download or read book Non Knowledge Risk and Bank Company Management written by Vincenzo Formisano and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the current economic scenario, the intangible assets contribute significantly to the construction of the competitive positioning of a company. It follows that this intangible information must be appropriately considered in the internal rating system (IRSs). Currently key aspects of business risk and operational risk such as potential for growth, competitive capabilities, core competencies, role in the supply chain of membership, and governance are being considered as secondary in this system. Intangible factors such as the milieu of the company and the environment in which it operates, are not being appropriately considered. In this book, Vincenzo Formisano proposes new guidelines aimed to set desirable IRSs in which the weight of intangible assets is appropriately and properly valued. He addresses practical rules for achieving a rating system capable of understanding and enhancing the intangible assets of a company and for the assessment of creditworthiness. The first part of the book focuses on existing practices; the second part exposes a general model for the classification and interpretation of intangibles. The third part provides practical guidelines designed to configure desirable rating models in which the weight of intangible assets is correctly considered. This book offers theoretical and practical insights and an easy-to-read approach which provides a valuable source of information for teachers and students in Finance. It is also a useful reference point for the Banking, Accounting and Finance managerial communities.

Download or read book Guerra economica e intelligence written by and published by Fuoco Edizioni. This book was released on with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nell’era della globalizzazione totale è sempre più importante comprendere come le forze economiche di un Paese si organizzino per fare dell’informazione uno strumento di sviluppo economico e di difesa dei suoi interessi vitali, tanto più che la crisi in cui siamo entrati rischia di accrescere, ancora di più, la lotta per l’accesso ai mercati mondiali. Lo scontro a livello economico si è radicato con forza soprattutto dopo la conclusione della Guerra Fredda e si presenta come un conflitto in crescita, nel quale non solo gli attori coinvolti sono spesso tra loro interdipendenti, ma agiscono all’interno di una rete globale che non ha dei riferimenti geografici o giuridici precisi e unici, complicando ancora di più la lettura del quadro d’insieme. Per annientare il proprio nemico nella guerra economica qualunque mezzo è lecito – dalle misure protezionistiche fino allo spionaggio o alle attività di lobbying – e non vi sono strutture che determinino limiti o stabiliscano un ordine. In particolare, con l’enorme diffusione dei mezzi di comunicazione, la guerra economica si è avvalsa sempre più di un suo strumento efficace: la guerra dell’informazione. Gli attori coinvolti, siano essi Stati o imprese, usano questo strumento per aumentare il proprio raggio d’azione a livello planetario (basti pensare alla possibilità di comunicare in tempo reale da una parte all’altra del mondo), ma anche come mezzo marcatamente offensivo (manipolando a proprio vantaggio, per esempio, le informazioni destinate ai consumatori).
Download or read book Implementing Sustainability Strategies in Networks and Clusters written by Alessandra De Chiara and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the dynamics of the management of sustainability in networks and clusters – an area of increasing importance that is neglected by the many studies addressing sustainability at the single-enterprise level. The focus is in particular on projects involving groups of enterprises with a high level of productive interdependence and steady relations that allow sharing of resources and activities. The book is organized into two parts, the first of which discusses the value of the territory for firm competitiveness, examines the importance of social capital in creating sustainable business behaviors and “unique” networks, and describes principles and tools for the implementation and management of sustainability strategies in networks or clusters. The second part then presents the methodology and outcomes of empirical research conducted on industrial districts and productive centres in Campania, southern Italy, which are representative of Italian productive chains. The book will be of value to all management scholars with an interest in this field, as well as to readers wishing to learn more of the role of local institutions.
