The ethics of banking :conclusions from the financial

xv, 214 p. 24 cm.
ISBN : 9789400706552.
174.4 KOS 133107
The Ethics of Banking analyzes the systemic and the
ethical mistakes that led to the crisis. It keeps the
middle ground between excusing all failures by the
argument of a systemic crisis not to be taken
responsibility for by the financial managers and the
moralistic reproach that only moral failure is at the
origin of the crisis. It investigates the role of
speculation in the formation of the crisis and
distinguishes between productive speculation for hedging
and for securing market liquidity on the one hand, and
unproductive and even detrimental hyper-speculation going
far beyond of the degree of speculation that is necessary
in a developed economy for the liquidity of financial
markets, on the other hand. Hyper-speculation has
increased the risks of the financial system and is still
doing so.

174.4 ZSO 133105
The book promotes the basic value-choices of Buddhism,
namely happiness, peace and permanence. Happiness
research convincingly shows that not material wealth but
the richness of personal relationships determines
happiness. Not things, but people make people happy.
Western economics tries to provide people with happiness
by supplying enormous quantities of things and today-s
dominating business models are based on and cultivates
narrow self-centeredness. But what people need are caring
relationships and generosity. Buddhist economics makes
these values accessible by direct provision. Peace can be
achieved in nonviolent ways.

This provocative study explains how dominant institutions
like the great corporations, the universities, and the
military, along with the ideology of modern engineering
shape, the development of technology. This book begins
with a critique of conventional (neoclassical) economics
and an overview of the antecedents of institutional
economics. The core of the book is formed by the chapters
on institutions, human economic behavior and needs,
arguing that institutional change is key to directing
economic development towards sustainable and adequate
living conditions, rather than merely formal growth
formulas.

Corporate executives are struggling with a new trend:
people using online social technologies (blogs, social
networking sites, YouTube, podcasts) to discuss products
and companies, write their own news, and find their own
deals. This groundswell is global, it s unstoppable, it
affects every industry and it s utterly foreign to the
powerful companies running things now. When consumers you
have never met are rating your company s products in
public forums with which you have no experience or
influence, your company is vulnerable. In this book, the
authors explain how to turn this threat into an
opportunity.

Books, 2011.
xv, 247 p. 24 cm.
ISBN : 9781848139794.
305.31 COR 133108
The expert authors collectively present the central
argument that mainstream international development and
social policy has had little engagement with either
patriarchal privilege or issues of male vulnerability,
while within gender and development the -men as problem,
women as victim- discourse continues to hold sway, and
work on men and masculinities has failed to engage with
efforts to change the structures that sustain gender and
sex inequality. Addressing such issues as the
relationship between domestic and communal violence and
armed conflict, and including accounts of masculinities
of men who do not confirm with the hetero-normative
notions - straight, as well as gay and transgender, the
insightful and groundbreaking new book asks what does it
take to break away essentialist understandings of women
and men without losing sight of structural inequities and
inequalities?

How can economists define social preferences and
interactions? Culture, familial beliefs, religion, and
other sources contain the origins of social preferences.
Those preferences--the desire for social status, for
instance, or the disinclination to receive financial
support--often accompany predictable economic outcomes.
Through the use of new economic data and tools, our
contributors survey an array of social interactions and
decisions that typify homo economics. Their work brings
order to the sometimes conflicting claims that countries,
environments, beliefs, and other influences make on our
economic decisions. Describes recent scholarship on
social choice and introduces new evidence about social
preferences Advances our understanding about quantifying
social interactions and the effects of culture Summarizes
research on theoretical and applied economic analyses of
social preferences.

In this book, the author presents the economic role of
institutions for economic development, capital formation
and technological dynamics in an easily accessible and
comprehensive manner. As a front-rank 20th century
institutional economist, Kapp pulls together arguments
from a variety of sources, including Thorstein Veblen,
John Kenneth Galbraith and Gunnar Myrdal, all of which
emphasize the crucial role of institutions. The author
cements institutional economics as a distinct and
coherent framework of analysis to effectively address
urgent socio-economic problems, such as environmental
disruption and sustainable development.

In this book, the authors argue that the causes of the
financial crisis lay in the bricolage and innovation in
financial markets, resulting in long chains and circuits
of transactions and instruments that enabled bankers to
earn fees, but which did not sufficiently take into
account system risk, uncertainty, and unintended
consequences. In the wake of the crisis, the authors
argue that social scientists, governments, and citizens
need to re-engage with the political dimensions of
financial markets. This book offers a controversial and
accessible exploration of the disorders of our financial
capitalism and its justifications. With an innovative
emphasis on the economically -undisclosed- and the
political -mystifying-, it combines technical
understanding of finance, cultural analysis, and al
political account of interests and institutions.

the problems associated with the management and
conservation of marine living resources, with particular
attention given to the twin concepts of economic value
and sustainability. It demonstrates the contribution that
economics can make to understanding these problems as
well as helping to frame policies to mitigate them.
Secondly, it looks in detail at the key methods that may
be used to collect and analyze socio-economic data,
oriented towards the information needs of decision makers
and stakeholders involved in fisheries management.
Together, these two objectives address the question: how
does society make the best use of its marine living
resources.

Science and technology have become increasingly
intertwined in the twentieth century. However, little
attention has been paid to the forces that have brought
about this condition. Indeed, many scholars have taken it
simply for granted that causality always runs from
science to technology. In this book, Rosenberg-s research
suggests that history and extensive empirical evidence
lead to a reality that is far more complex as well as far
more interesting. Here, Rosenberg-s papers explore a wide
range of pertinent issues, especially those connected
with the innovative process, including the realms of
electric power, electronics, chemicals, aircraft,
medicine, instrumentation and, in particular, higher
education and the organization of research activities.

This volume focuses on nationality-s efficacy in much of
world affairs, and on the background and current issues
surrounding global crisis. As one of the most famous
Marxist revolutionaries, Rosa Luxemburg vigorously
promoted her own conceptions, often opposing Lenin, her
contemporary. In this volume, Narihiko Ito offers a much
needed, extensive analysis of her position. This is
followed by a critique of the current Iranian
conjuncture, offered by Farhang Morady. The development
of crises in capitalism is addressed both directly and
indirectly within the volume.

The book offers a unique perspective from an english
economic and monetary historian. In it the author asks:
why did the banks stop lending to one another, and why
now? Was it merely a matter of over-loose credit due to
the relaxation of traditional prudence, or did global
finance find itself at its limits? Have government bail-
outs saved the day or merely postponed the problem.

In this book, the author draws on his rich experience of
over 35 years at the World Bank and other aid agencies as
a development strategist and ICT policy expert, the most
current research, and best practices from around the
world to provide practical tools for promoting economic
and social transformation through ICT. He assesses
various initiatives to develop and diffuse ICT, such as
innovation funds, incubators, parks, public-private
partnerships, and comprehensive promotion programs. He
argues for the strategic options now open for developing
countries to participate in ICT production, to deploy ICT
to transform industries and services, and to leverage ICT
as a new national infrastructure for improving the
business environment and enhancing the competitiveness of
the whole economy.

In the 20th century, cheap and abundant energy brought
previously unimaginable advances in health, wealth, and
technology, and fed an explosion in population and
consumption. But this growth came at an incredible cost.
Climate change, peak oil, freshwater depletion, species
extinction, and a host of economic and social problems
now challenge us as never before. This book features
articles by some of the world-s most provocative thinkers
on the key drivers shaping this new century, from
renewable energy and urban agriculture to social justice
and systems resilience. This unprecedented collection
takes a hard-nosed look at the interconnected threats of
our global sustainability quandary--as well as the most
promising responses.

A significant improvement in the Malaysian financial
system, coupled with rapid economic growth and a rich
history of financial sector reforms, makes Malaysia an
interesting case study for this subject. The author shows
that some government interventions seem to have impacted
negatively on economic growth, whereas repressionist
financial policies such as interest rate controls, high
reserve requirements and directed credit programmes seem
to have contributed positively to financial development.
The analysis concludes that financial development leads
to higher output growth via promoting private saving and
private investment.

Each chapter analyzes the basic architecture and
important features of the institutions of property law
from an economic point of view, while also providing an
introduction to the issues and literature. Property
rights and property systems vary along a large number of
dimensions, and economics has proven very conducive to
analyzing these patterns and even the nature of property
itself. The contributions found here lend fresh
perspectives to the current body of literature, examining
topics including: initial acquisition, the commons,
anticommons, and semicommons, intellectual property,
public rights, abandonment and destruction,
standardization of property, property and firms, marital
property, bankruptcy as property, titling systems, land
surveying, covenants, nuisance, the political economy of
property, and takings.

ISBN : 9783642183508.
519.6 LOH 133087
The theory of Vector Optimization is developed by a
systematic usage of infimum and supremum. In order to get
existence and appropriate properties of the infimum, the
image space of the vector optimization problem is
embedded into a larger space, which is a subset of the
power set, in fact, the space of self-infimal sets. Based
on this idea we establish solution concepts, existence
and duality results and algorithms for the linear case.
The main advantage of this approach is the high degree of
analogy to corresponding results of Scalar Optimization.
The concepts and results are used to explain and to
improve practically relevant algorithms for linear vector
optimization problems. .

discuss everything from experimental design to post-
marketing studies. This approach sheds light on what
regulators consider acceptable methodologies and what
methods have proven successful for industrial
statisticians. Both new and revised chapters reflect the
increasingly global nature of the industry as represented
by authors from Japan and Europe, the increasing trend
toward non-inferiority/equivalence testing, adaptive
design in clinical trials, global harmonization of
regulatory standards, and multiple comparison studies.

In this book, the authors provide the first cool-headed
explanation of the venture capital industry and the role
it plays in our economy. They underscore that, regardless
of the economic conditions, innovation is incredibly
difficult to finance, take to market, and translate into
value. While venture capital has evolved to address these
problems - the industry has fueled innovation, economic
growth, and wealth creation for decades - features of the
venture industry have left it vulnerable to boom-and-bust
cycles. In the near future, say the authors, the industry
must transform dramatically, with important implications
for industry players and the entrepreneurs and
organizations they serve.

Most of the large economies in the world are already
dominated by services. Developed countries are now also
becoming information economies, the US is a case in
point. The confluence of these trends means that
information services are the largest part of the US and
other developed economies, with others close behind. This
evolution is being accompanied by a revolution: the rapid
industrialization of information services. These
developments have manifold consequences for the economy
as a whole, as well as for productivity, trade, jobs,
globalization and competition. At the sector level, many
industries are undergoing massive changes in structure.
The Business and Information Technologies (BIT) project
at UCLA Anderson is a global effort to track and assess
these changes through GNP studies, surveys of business
practice, and studies of key industry sectors.

Knowledge sharing and transfer have been reduced to
reports, e-mails and tweets replacing vital personal
interaction. The lack of meaningful conversation coupled
with intense fragmentation across organizations and
networks has left leaders floating in a sea of
information and ideas without a map to channel insight
into action. Sharing Hidden Know-How starts the
conversation that allows organizations to take what they
know to the bank. The "how-to"/"how-act" guidebook
unveils Knowledge Jam, a facilitated collaborative method
for helping organizations rediscover the fundamental
discipline of knowledge transfer - the conversation.
Developed by Katrina Pugh, president of AlignConsulting,
the proven process uses human interaction to capture
unwritten insights, and more importantly to put them to
work.

can be used to face all the issues that stem from the
interaction of customers and suppliers in an e-
marketplace environment. The first methodology discussed
is multi-agent architecture and this forms the basis of a
simulation environment developed in order to test the
proposed models. The second concerns a bargaining model
based on the negotiation mechanism and the third centers
on production planning to support agents during the
bargaining phase. The fourth is the possibility of a
coalition between the suppliers and the authors offer a
choice of two different approaches.

This book aims to identify and describe the practical key
components of demand driven supply chains, and based on
these components, develops a structured and integrated
assessment framework that companies can use to assess
their current and desired future supply chain states in
light of the Demand Driven Supply Chain (DDSC) concepts.
Another contribution of the book is the structured
framework developed to design a supply chain strategy,
which will consider the DDSC assessment results as one of
the key inputs, and will support the implementation of
the opportunities identified during the assessment. The
framework presented in this book was applied in different
supply chain operations of a global CPG company to
validate the methodology and formalize an action plan to
allow these operations move towards a DDSC.
