Uncertain Volatility Models - Theory and Application

Book Description

The accompanying CD contains the source code of a C++ implementation of the algorithms presented in the book.

Not helpful supplement to actual textbook.......2007-09-13

This book claims that you will "never hightlight again," but actually all this is is a glossary-like listing of vocabulary words from each chapter of the actual textbook. The general point of the information from the actual text does not come through at all. If you are using the actual textbook for a class, you will not understand the material if do not read the actual text. If you already bought the textbook, this is not a necessary (or even helpful) supplement.

Good Product.......2007-03-21

Great shape, quick shipping. Too expensive, but that is what this product normally runs unfortuantly. Overall good experience

Book for online course.......2006-11-03

I am using this book for a online college curse and the book it's great! It provide many tools like the textbook's website to help you to understand the material and exams online. In general, I like the little cases that are update and motivate you to keep reading.
If this book by itself can help you to develop you own Small Business, it worth.

Book Review.......2006-03-04

Good overview on what you need to consider before you start your own business.

It's... OK........2002-08-26

The presentation of this book is excellent; It holds the reader's interest quite well. However, despite a recent "update", it shows it's age when the author regularly goes off on dot-com tangents, bringing the internet up in contexts that I believe the last few years have proven are not viable. Good grief, ppl. This isn't freaking 1997! We need a business text, not the wet dreams of a bunch of computer geeks turned businessmen! Anyways, if you are looking for a text with a lot of depth, look elsewhere. This book is to business textbooks what Quickbooks(c)(R)(TM) is to accounting software. In short, don't waste your money, unless you need it for a class. If so, be happy. If your prof teaches out of this, your tests will be very easy.

Book Description

The problems of converting military enterprises, in the former Soviet Union as well as in the rest of the world, have international significance, but at the same time, the economic impact of conversion, and the conditions under which it takes place are different for each country involved: no universal policies can be formulated. Russia, for example, is the only country that has decided to carry out such a complex and expensive experiment, where each rouble cut in military expenditure involves a loss of 1.5-2 roubles in industry, while the number of people engaged in the army remains practically unchanged. Defence industry conversion in Russia forms an integral component of the government¿s economic reforms. How can the intellectual scientific and technological potential of the defence complex be preserved, allowing it to serve Russia now and in the future?
The scale, terms and speed of conversion in the Russian Federation, and the absence of a market economy mean that it is impossible to make direct use of Western experience under Russian conditions. Only the joint and concerted actions of the state, the regions and the newly-fledge private enterprises will allow the conversion process to be conducted with any likelihood of success. Unilateral action will fail.

Good Resource.......2007-03-05

As malware and other vicious threats evolve, security professionals must stay abreast of the methods and strategies used to mitigate them. If you're looking for additional information to strengthen your security management posture, this book will get you started. The only downside is the lack of "deeper" information on phishing. Phishing is becoming a prominent threat to organizations, and requires the immediate attention of executives and security specialists.

This Book Is The Corner Stone of Your Security Initiative.......2005-08-22

This guide on security is OUTSTANDING. No one book can embody everything; however, this short but powerful book should encourage every person in our organization to accept responsibility for security.

If you are looking to continue the growth and development of your team (as well as improved security for your organization) then buy and distribute several copies of this book.

I sincerely believe that the experience and information that this book offers can help any organization to become better and more effective at security management.

This book is a very useful tool for getting non-IT executives to understand the imperative behind maintaining an information security management program.

Great resource, but boring at times.......2005-02-10

A fun book on security for executives and managers? Unbelievable, you'd say? This one ("The Executive Guide to Information Security") comes pretty close.

On the down side, do not look at this book for technology coverage. Almost total lack of coverage of intrusion prevention, spyware, spam as well as some Symantec bias (understandable, considering the publisher) make this book much stronger on the policy, process and "big picture" coverage rather on modern technical threats and countermeasures. Slightly confusing coverage of vulnerability management also falls in the same category. However, given the target audience of CEOs and CFOs, this is certainly excusable.

The book introduces the executives to basic security concepts such as "defense-in-depth", "people, process, technology", etc, and goes into details on using them for organizing security for their organizations.

I also appreciated the sections on planning and executing a security strategy and measuring security by using various included checklists and questionnaires. 50-point security evaluation framework based on"best practices" was another valuable piece. The books also address one of the important questions of organizational security: in-house vs outsourced security.

Regulations and laws also occupy a significant part of the book. The coverage is high-level and provides few details, appropriate given the target audience. A section on future security was pretty insightful and enjoyable to read!

Overall, I think the book will be one of the first (and, so far, best) books about security for the "C-level" crowd.

Book Description

The rapid commercialization of the Internet and success of online direct marketing led to the burgeoning field of business-to-business e-commerce, a growing industry analyzed with the most recent research developments and successful implementation strategies in this business volume. E-commerce environments, supply chain management issues, and value chain networks are explored with respect to process, research, and electronic tendering. More complex discussions of classification schemes, manufacturing connectedness, and structuration theory provide the academic dimension of the practical business challenges presented.

Download Description

In the mid 1990s, the widespread adoption of the web browser led to a rapid commercialization of the Internet. In addition, initial success stories were reported from companies that learned how to create an effective direct marketing channel - selling tangible products to consumers directly with the World Wide Web. By the end of the 1990s, the next revolution began - called business-to-business electronic commerce. Business to Business Electronic Commerce will provide researchers and practitioners alike with a source of knowledge related to this emerging area of business.

How to soothe the savage customer.......2006-12-18

Everyone who works in customer service has had a run in with a customer who is dissatisfied or irate. Frustrated consumers are a fact of life. People become angry about the way someone treated them or about malfunctioning products. These encounters make everyone involved feel agitated and upset. So how do you handle these tough customers? In this light, informative book, Shaun Belding offers practical tips for defusing emotional situations, resolving conflicts with customers and improving your service. We recommend this book to managers and staff members who provide products or services and deal with the public.

Great Read!.......2004-01-20

I work in the customer service department of a department store, so I deal with many, many customers from hell. This book is absolutely terrific! I loved all of the quirks, puns, and especially the examples Shaun provided. Great book - highly reccomended!

Dealing with the customer from hell.......2001-04-04

Shaun Belding has hit the nail on the head on how to deal with retail customers. His sense of humor and use of 'salestaff slang' make this book easy and enjoyable to read. His 6-step approach on diffusing potentially volatile situations is practical and can be applied by anyone working in a retail environment.

Wow!.......2000-04-12

An awful lot of conflict resolution type books are big on theory, but tough to put into practice. This is simple and down to earth (also fun to read!) More importantly, it works consistantly - I've tried it.

I think the author should perhaps have expanded it to show examples outside of the retail and service industries - the principles I think apply to virtually any industry.

I read it in a little over two hours the first time, and am in the process of re-reading it. I'm finding a lot of fascinating nuances I missed the first time.

Book Description

Northeast Asia--China, Japan, North and South Korea, Mongolia, and Pacific Russia--remain politically suspicious of each other and economically unintegrated. Recently, however, the growing importance of economics on domestic and foreign policy agendas has led to a call for multilateral economic cooperation at the regional level. In this book, experts from the respective countries and the United States examine the desirability and feasibility of regional economic cooperation.

Book Description

This book takes a fresh look at this issue in economic policy. Graham Dunkley provides a critical history of international trade and an alternative analysis to orthodox doctrines about trade policy. He argues that trade, although a natural economic process, has today become much more complex, deregulated and divorced from development than is desirable. He concludes by suggesting elements of a new approach to development and an alternative world trading and economic order.
