Change management for semantic web services / Xumin Liu,
Salman Akram and Athman Bouguettaya.-- New York: Springer
, 2011.
164p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9781441993281.
006.78 LIU 135261
Change Management for Semantic Web Services provides a
thorough analysis of change management in the lifecycle
of services for databases and workflows, including
changes that occur at the individual service level or at
the aggregate composed service level. This book describes
taxonomy of changes that are expected in semantic service
oriented environments. The process of change management
consists of detecting, propagating, and reacting to
changes. This book also proposes a formal model and a
change language to provide sufficient semantics for
change management, it devises an automatic process to
react to, verify, and optimize changes. Case studies and
examples are presented in the last section of this book.

A strategic and tactical approach to global business

Press, 2010.
xx, 242p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9781606491454.
174.4 BEE 135166
The inclusion of ethically driven elements into the
strategic-planning process of multinational corporations
(MNCs) is an emerging consideration in the modern era of
globalization. Firms pursuing cross-border activities in
any capacity and to whatever degree or scale are
increasingly coming into contact with differences in
morally applied decision making that affects their
operational success and sustainability. The choices made
require the use of clear and unambiguous codes of conduct
for embedded managers abroad. The implementation of a
properly administered code, coupled with a program of
corporate social responsibility (CSR), can add value to a
company, while its misapplication or exclusion can
diminish value.

-- London: Routledge, 2004.
xv, 366p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415345101.
302.35 FLE 135360
Critical realism has become increasingly important in the
way organization and management is studied. This
innovative book argues for an alternative to the
prevailing ontology, and shows how positivism and its
empirical realist ontology can be abandoned without
having to accept strong social constructionism. This books
applies critical realism in four ways. First, in the
removal of meta-theoretical obstacles that hinder the
development of fruitful theoretical and empirical work.
Second and third, as a meta-theoretical tool with which
to develop appropriate methodological and theoretical
frameworks which can then be used to inform appropriate
empirical work, and finally, all of this is applied
across a broad range of subject areas.

Indian foreign policy : the politics of postcolonial
identity from 1947 to 2004 / Priya Chacko.-- London:
Routledge, 2012.
237p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415665681.
327.54 CHA 135280
The rise of India as a major power has generated new
interest in understanding the drivers of its foreign
policy. This book argues that analysing India-s foreign
and security policies as representational practices which
produce India-s identity as a postcolonial nation-state
helps to illuminate the conditions of possibility in
which foreign policy is made. Spanning the period between
1947 and 2004, the book focuses on key moments of crisis,
such as the India-China war in 1962 and the nuclear tests
of 1972 and 1998, and the approach to international
affairs of significant leaders like Jawaharlal Nehru. It
is argued that a prominent facet of India-s identity is a
perception that it is a civilizational-state which brings
to international affairs a tradition of morality and
ethical conduct derived from its civilizational heritage
and the experience of its anti-colonial struggle.

Deviant Globalization argues that, far from being
marginal, illicit activities are a pervasive and integral

understanding deviant globalization, and the moral
arbitrage that fuels it, is crucial for making decisions
and enacting policies that will maximize the benefits of

233p. 20cm.
ISBN : 9781591391289.
330.1220905 HAN 135276
In this poignant personal memoir, which is also a
reflection on the past and future of world capitalism,
retired oil executive/economist/guru Handy takes us on
his life-s journey, looking back to such topics as his
childhood and education and how they prepared (or,
rather, did not prepare) him for a career in business,
the changing nature of organizational life within the old
economy and the new, the great variety of capitalism
around the world, and, through it all, his struggle to
find meaning and fulfillment in work. Handy uses the
metaphor of the elephant and the flea to critique the
great shift from the prevalence of behemoth, slow-moving,
bureaucratic organizations that provided a lifetime of
security and not much freedom, to a world in which we are
much more independent, latching onto elephants when we
need to, but mostly flying solo and without safe havens.

xxi, 185p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415616461.

This book documents and explains the rapid economic
growth of the three key Asian economies. The book also
looks at what has happened to income inequality in the
context of superior growth performance. It makes
comparative assessments and examines the implications for
the three nations. Since free markets have nothing in
them to produce a reduction in income inequality among
persons/households, one must at best hope for equality of
opportunity notably reflected in identical schooling for
all, identical health care for all, and minimal rather
than vulgar inequality in housing. This book is
particularly useful for both China and India which may
wish to study and learn from Singapore in regard to the
policies, programmes and projects aimed at ensuring
equality of opportunity.

This book offers an introduction to the mathematical,
probabilistic and numerical methods used in the modern
theory of option pricing. The text is designed for
readers with a basic mathematical background. The first
part contains a presentation of the arbitrage theory in
discrete time. In the second part, the theories of
stochastic calculus and parabolic PDEs are developed in
detail and the classical arbitrage theory is analyzed in
a Markovian setting by means of of PDEs techniques. After
the martingale representation theorems and the Girsanov
theory have been presented, arbitrage pricing is
revisited in the martingale theory optics. General tools
from PDE and martingale theories are also used in the
analysis of volatility modeling. The book also contains
an Introduction to Levy processes and Malliavin calculus.

Agroecology is the science of applying ecological
concepts and principles to the design, development, and
management of sustainable agricultural systems.
Agroecological economics, a subsection of agricultural
economics, evaluates the ecological consequences of
agricultural methods on the economic scale.
Agroecological economics considers green engineering as a
means of measurement. As the environmental movement
unfolds, the importance of biodiversity and long-term
sustainability are indisputable. Progress depends on
determining the economic viability of terrestrial
agroecosystems. What is lacking is the analysis needed to
bring biodiverse and sustainable systems to fruition.
Agroecological Economics analyzes the current topics that
must be addressed in order to provide sustainable
agricultural systems.

The G20 meeting in London in spring 2009 was a historical
moment of global cooperation to deal with the global
financial crisis. This book collects essays from leading
economists, first presented as an eBook in January 2009,
advocating many of the policies that were eventually
agreed on, including the headline-grabbing global fiscal
stimulus. But it goes further, calling for: Reforms to
address global imbalances by a) creating insurance
mechanisms for countries that forgo reserve accumulation
and stimulate domestic expansion, and b) accelerating the
development of financial systems in emerging
markets.Macroeconomic policy to meet any threat of
deflation promptly, with a zero interest rate policy and
quantitative easing, and an inflation target to avoid
expectations of deflation.

This book explores the many provocative questions
concerning the fundamentals of data analysis. It is based
on the time tested experience of one of the gurus of the
subject matter. Emphasis on apprenticeship (through hands
on case studies) and anecdotes (through real life
applications) are the tools that Peter J. Huber uses in
this volume. Concern with specific statistical techniques
is not of immediate value, rather, questions of strategy
when to use which technique are employed. Central to the
discussion is an understanding of the significance of
massive (or robust) data sets, the implementation of
languages, and the use of models. Each is sprinkled with
an ample number of examples and case studies.

In this timely study, Batra examines contemporary drama
from India, Jamaica, and Nigeria in conjunction with
feminist and incipient queer movements in these
countries. Postcolonial drama, Batra contends, furthers
the struggle for gender justice in both these movements
by contesting the idea of the heterosexual, middle class,
wage-earning male as the model citizen and by suggesting
alternative conceptions of citizenship premised on
working class sexual identities. Further, Batra considers
the possibility of Indian, Jamaican, and Nigerian drama
generating a discourse on a rights-bearing conception of
citizenship that derives from representations of non-
biological, non-generational forms of kinship.

The Darker Side of the Renaissance weaves together
literature, semiotics, history, historiography,
cartography, geography, and cultural theory to examine
the role of language in the colonization of the New
World. Walter D. Mignolo locates the privileging of
European forms of literacy at the heart of New World
colonization. He examines how alphabetic writing is
linked with the exercise of power, what role "the book"
has played in colonial relations, and the many
connections between writing, social organization, and
political control. It has long been acknowledged that
Amerindians were at a disadvantage in facing European
invaders because native cultures did not employ the same
kind of texts (hence "knowledge") that were validated by
the Europeans. Yet no study until this one has so
thoroughly analyzed either the process or the
implications of conquest and destruction through sign
systems.
