306.36 GLA 135472
Although sociologists have written extensively on the
broad subject of occupational careers, generally they
have referred only incidentally to organizational careers
within work organizations. In this pioneering sourcebook,
now considered a classic, Glaser gathered from the
literature of occupational sociology those studies that
bear most directly on organizational careers. His
objective was to provide the first survey of the
substantial body of data on the subject and to place this
data in a framework that illustrates its significance for
the development of theory.

Politics without Power explains what the national
committees are, who belongs to them, where they are
located in relation to other politically oriented
organizations, what they do, and what steps might be
taken to make better use of them. Although the authors-
descriptions in this classic volume are straightforward,
their recommendations are sweepingly bold. A few have
been instituted in part, but most have yet to be adopted.
If they were, it would completely change the makeup of
the two committees and the political processes.

Commodities have become and important component of many
investors- portfolios and the focus of much political
controversy over the past decade. This book utilizes
structural models to provide a better understanding of
how commodities- prices behave and what drives them. It
exploits differences across commoditites and examines a
variety of predictions of the models to identify where
they work and where they fail. The findings of the
analysis are useful to scholars, traders, and policy
makers who want to better understand often puzzling--and
extreme--movements in the prices of commoditites from
aluminum to oil to soybeans to zinc.

regional economic integration and analyses implications
for institution building in East Asia. East Asia has
achieved a high degree of intra-regional trade,
investment and GDP correlation, through an expanding web
of free trade agreements and production networks.
However, financially, most regional economies are linked
more closely to North America and Europe than to each
other.

dynamic peripheral economies of the -old- EU - namely
Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain - have responded to
the twin challenges of globalisation and industrial
restructuring. The book begins by examining the key
drivers of the globally competitive SME sector in the EU,
before moving on to explore the relationship between
multinational enterprises (MNEs), SMEs and industrial
development. The authors investigate important policy
implications and provide lessons for SME development and
growth.
