ASIN: 0324171870 |
Book Description
This text exhibits four unique features: 1) it uses the theory of the firm as the unifying theme to examine the managerial decision process; 2) it fully introduces a global view into managerial economics to reflect the internationalization of tastes, production, and distribution in today's globalizing world; 3) it introduces many exciting new topics and managerial tools into the study of managerial economics that are not discussed at all or discussed only very superficially in other texts, such as firm architecture, strategic behavior, business ethics, electronic commerce, risk management, international economies of scale, the virtual corporation, reengineering, benchmarking, the learning organization, and the digital factory; and 4) it shows how managerial decisions are actually made today with more relevant and interesting real-world case applications and integrative case studies than any other text on the market.

Most Boundaries Are Self-Imposed.......2002-02-24
"In living organisms, membranes exist to give the organization shape and definition. They have sufficient structural strength to prevent the organism from dissolving into an amorphous mess....Like a living organism, the boundaryless organization also evolves and grows, and the placement of boundaries may shift....Because the boundaryless organization is a living continuum, not a fixed state, the ongoing management challenge is to find the right balance of boundaryless behavior, to determine how permeable to make boundaries, and where to place them."
This brief excerpt from the first chapter correctly suggests the purpose of this remarkable book: To explain HOW to meet that challenge. The material is presented within four parts plus a conclusion. The first explains how to achieve "free movement up and down" by crossing vertical boundaries; the second explains how to achieve "free movement side to side" by crossing horizontal boundaries; the third explains how to achieve "free movement along the value chain" by crossing external boundaries; and in the fourth part, they explain how to achieve "free global movement" by crossing geographic boundaries." Then in the Conclusion, the authors discuss "Making It Happen: Leading Toward the Boundaryless Organization." The authors also include a series of six questionnaires. By completing each in sequence, the reader is able to determine (a) where her or his organization is now located relative to "the boundaryless paradigm", and (b), what is needed to eliminate the "gap" between where it is now and where it should be.
Those who share my high regard for this book are urged to read The Boundaryless Organization Field Guide. It contains a wealth of hands-on set of diagnostic instruments, exercises, and tools as well as a disk with presentation slides in Powerpoint format.

Not by the Seat of My Pants!: Leadership Lessons for the Call Center Supervisor (N)
Anne G Nickerson Manufacturer: iUniverse, Inc. ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0595323669 |
Book Description
...A compelling, real-world story of the trials, transitions and leadership lessons of the call center supervisor...The new superhero of the workplace is the supervisor. Why?
Supervising employees demands more time, energy, commitment and skill. Supervisors are literally caught in the cross-hairs of senior managers seeking better productivity, stakeholders demanding improved results, employees asserting their needs and customers, always, deserving more. This position mandates a series of skillful maneuvers that few come equipped to handle.
Not by the Seat of My Pants! is a compelling, real-world story of the trials, transitions and leadership lessons of the call center supervisor. It provides leaders, managers and new supervisors an inside look at the interplay of roles, goals and changing expectations that can thwart the efforts of even the most qualified candidates. Through its tips, techniques, tools and practical examples, this book helps readers identify what it really takes to be successful in this high pressure, high stress, high turnover job, and how to create the environment for enthusiastic, productive, satisfied employees. Written as a story, it holds the readers' attention long after the book is closed.
This creative book is enjoyable to read, easy to digest and loaded with wisdom and insight for supervisors, new and old. Bravo! It made me re-examine how challenging the new supervisors' role really is--and how so much of the center's success hinges on their ability to transition quickly and avoid the landmines inherent in the job. It's a "must-read" for every supervisor!

Interest Groups and Trade Policy
Gene M. Grossman , and Elhanan Helpman Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0691095973 |
Book Description
Gene Grossman and Elhanan Helpman are widely acclaimed for their pioneering theoretical studies of how special interest groups seek to influence the policymaking process in democratic societies. This collection of eight of their previously published articles is a companion to their recent monograph, Special Interest Politics. It clarifies the origins of some of the key ideas in their monograph and shows how their methods can be used to illuminate policymaking in a critical area.
Following an original introduction to the contents of the book and its relationship to Special Interest Politics, the first three chapters focus on campaign contributions and candidate endorsements--two of the tools that interest groups use in their efforts to influence policy outcomes. The remaining chapters present applications to trade policy issues. Grossman and Helpman demonstrate how the approaches developed in their monograph can shed light on tariff formation in small and large countries, on the conduct of multilateral trade negotiations, and on the viability of bilateral free trade agreements. They also examine the forms that regional and multilateral trade agreements are likely to take and the ways in which firms invest abroad to circumvent trade barriers induced by political pressures.
The articles collected in this volume are required reading for anyone interested in international relations, trade policy, or political economy. They show why Grossman and Helpman are global leaders in the fields of international economics and political economy.

Readings in Public Choice and Constitutional Political Economy
Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0387745742 |
Book Description
Public choice is the study of behavior at the intersection of economics and political science. Since the pioneering work of Duncan Black in the 1940s, public choice has developed a rich literature, drawing from such related perspectives as history, philosophy, law, and sociology.to analyze political decision making (by citizen-voters, elected officials, bureaucratic administrators, lobbyists, and other "rational" actors) in social and economic context, with an emphasis on identifying disparities between individual and collective goals. In Readings in Public Choice and Constitutional Political Economy, Charles Rowley and Friedrich Schneider have assembled an international array of leading authors to present a comprehensive and accessible overview of the field and its applications. Covering a wide array of topics, including regulation and antitrust, taxation, trade liberalization, political corruption, interest group behavior, dictatorship, and environmental issues, and featuring biographies of the founding fathers of the field, this volume will be essential reading for scholars and students, policymakers, economists, sociologists, and non-specialist readers interested in the dynamics of political economy.

Efficiency, Equity, and Legitimacy: The Multilateral Trading System at the Millennium
eds. Americo Beviglia-Zampetti Manufacturer: Brookings Institution Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0815771622 |
Book Description
The multilateral trading system stands at a crossroads. Despite its widely acknowledged contribution to global prosperity over the past half century, the movement toward further liberalization has increasingly been challenged. These essays by leading scholars and trade officials honor Raymond Vernon, one of the architects of the international economic institutions established following the Second World War. The book examines several key issues at the heart of the debate over the multilateral trading system. What are the global efficiency gains from further liberalization? How can efficiency gains be maximized while respecting legitimate claims to sovereignty? Is the trading system affording an equitable distribution of benefits between countries and among various groups within societies? Does civil society have a role in the trading system? What role should the World Trade Organization and its dispute settlement procedures play in resolving disputes and enhancing legitimacy? Contributors include Jagdish Bhagwati (Columbia University), Jeffrey Sachs (Harvard University), Jeffrey A. Frankel (Harvard University), Alan O. Sykes (University of Chicago), Alan Deardorff (University of Michigan), Andre Sapir (Universite Libre de Bruxelles), Robert Howse (University of Michigan), Kalypso Nicolaidis (Oxford University), Robert Keohane (Duke University), Joseph S. Nye Jr. (Harvard University), Joseph Weiler (Harvard University), and Robert E. Hormats (Goldman Sachs). Copublished with the Center for Business and Government at Harvard University
