Business, society, and government essentials : strategy

ISBN : 9780415622103.

Understanding the interrelationship of business, society
and government is vital to working at any level in a
company of any size. This text uses a case analysis
approach to explore this interrelationship in today-s
high tech global community. The authors crystallize the
complex array of issues that business leaders, managers,
and employees face in market and nonmarket environments,
from balancing stakeholder interests and dealing with
government regulations to managing crises and making
socially responsible and ethical decisions.

3 Monteiro, Nuno P
Theory of unipolar politics / Nuno P Monteiro.-- New York
: Cambridge University Press, 2014. xiv, 272p. , 23cm.
(Cambridge studies in international relations, 132).
ISBN : 9781107677753.
327.101 MON 142644
The author answers three of the most important questions
about the workings of a unipolar world. Is it durable? Is
it peaceful? What is the best grand strategy a unipolar
power such as the contemporary United States can
implement? In our nuclear world, the power preponderance
of the United States is potentially durable but likely to
produce frequent conflict. Furthermore, in order to
maintain its power preponderance, the United States must
remain militarily engaged in the world and accommodate
the economic growth of its major competitors, namely,
China. This strategy, however, will lead Washington to
wage war frequently. In sum, military power preponderance
brings significant benefits but is not an unalloyed good.

This book investigates analytical techniques suited to
emerging market economies, which are typically prone to
policy shocks. Despite the large body of emerging market
finance literature, their underlying dynamics and
interactions with other economies remain challenging and
mysterious because standard financial models measure them
imprecisely.

ISBN : 9789332701205.

This report provides an overview of the labour market and
employment outcomes that the Indian economy has delivered
as it globalized. It concludes that structural changes
are slow and difficult, and the potential for equitable
growth remains unrealized, hampered by policy inertia,
resistance from social and economic interests and
rigidities of existing systems and perspectives. The
Report assesses the gains and losses for labour in the
first round of globalization. It reveals many markers of
progress as well as deep challenges. Effective,
responsive, fair and comprehensive labour and employment
policy is vital for sustainable and inclusive
development.

Confirming dividend changes and the non-monotonic
investor revision of earnings persistence / Christian

21cm.
ISBN : 9783658044725.
332.63221 MUL 142647
The author assumes that firm-s dividend decision conveys
useful information to investors. He shows that investors
use dividend changes to revise their a priori
expectations about the persistence of a current earnings
change. While his theoretical and empirical analyses
generally imply that dividend changes constitute
informative, but imperfect information signals, he
further identifies situations in which they are
substantial to investors.

xxi, 314p. , 23cm.
ISBN : 9781783264780.
332.6730951 CHA 142645
This book makes a contribution to the deeper
understanding of various trade-related investment
measures (TRIMs). The issues have been largely inspired
by the use of trade policies on foreign investment
adopted in China and many other nations from the 1960s to
the 1990s. Building upon the existing literature and the
authors- own work, the 20 chapters in the book examine,
using several versions of general-equilibrium frameworks,
resource allocation and welfare effects of both trade-
related investment measures and investment-related
trade/environmental measures.

question of G20 membership and surveys the components of

the G20 with international governmental organizations,
the business sector, and civil society and looks at the
current relationship between the G8 and the G20. He also
discusses how G20 performance can be monitored and
evaluated. The book includes an extensive bibliography on
the G20, G8/G20 reform, and issues of concern to the G20.

The China model and global political economy :
comparison, impact, and interaction / Ming Wan.-- London:

xvii, 194p. , 24cm.
(Routledge contemporary China series, 111).
ISBN : 9780415717960.
337.51 WAN 141982
This book adopts an explicit international comparative
perspective, comparing the Chinese model to others, such
as the Washington Consensus and the Japan model. This
comparison allows us to break down different components
of the China model, and to show that while the Chinese
Communist Party leadership part of the model is unique,
other components such as export-led growth strategy or
packaged aid programs are not. By focusing on the root
cause of China-s rise - namely the loop between the
evolving China model and an evolving global governance
structure - this book reveals the degree of
compatibility between the country-s profit-driven
domestic political economy system and the post-war global
economic order, and in turn how and why China has been
able to rise in the global system.

Economic freedom matters. It improves outcomes by
empowering citizens with the freedom to choose. This
report, one of a series starting in 2005, once again
seeks to measure economic freedom in different Indian
states, and to show how this improves economic
outcomes.Economic freedom is a concept first used by the
Fraser Institute to measure the extent to which
governments constrain efficient decision making and
distort resource allocation. It has been used in cross-
country literature to show that countries with higher
levels of freedom have better development indicators.
