Enterprise Management with SAP SEM/ Business Analytics (SAP Excellence)

Book Description

In order to make strategy happen there is a need for powerful management information systems. SAP focuses on the application of modern business administration concepts, e.g. Value Based Management, the Balanced Scorecard, the Management Cockpit or flexible planning methods.

The book describes the methodology and implementation of a powerful tool for enterprise management. Practical examples show how SAP Strategic Enterprise Management/Business Analytics (SAP SEM/BA) can help to improve cross functional planning, reporting and analyzing. SAP SEM/BA is a leading edge IT-solution for top management and related departments in large enterprises and groups. It demonstrates the state of the art of modern management information and decision support systems.

Compact overview with lots of practical examples.......2003-12-22

After ERP, CRM, SCM etc. on the more operational levels now comprehensive approaches for integrated strategic management and operations emerge. This became popular years ago with the Balanced Scorecard. This book shows that there is much more around this topic. It gives a compact overview about the theoretical backgrounds. But, what is more important it links theory with a lot of practical examples in form of figures and real world screenshots. I think it is a very good introduction and easy to read.
It is the only book so far that I could find that gives more detailed information about SAP SEM than SAP's web pages and it adresses some critical issues of the software and concepts, too.
Nevertheless the chapter with the case studies could be enhanced in a next edition.

Mostly a rehash of screen shots.......2003-12-11

The book is mostly descriptive without a lot of contextual and experiential value added on top.

Customer Reviews:

great book.......2007-01-31

I have to disagree with the two reviewers below. This was one of my favorite texts as a law student, and I repeatedly refer back to it as a practicing lawyer. The hornbook version is probably the best practice guide out there. I understand the criticism about too many questions, but I've seen many books with far more. The quality and clarity of analysis here is unparalleled. I don't write in the margins, so I guess I don't fully understand that criticism.

abones80.......2005-06-11

I am in complete agreement with the very thoughtful review provided by "abones80." This casebook provides a disproportionate amount of questions rather than answers for those trying to glean some grasp of black letter law. On the subject of hearsay, I recommend A Student's Guide to Hearsay by Clifford S. Fishman.

really 2 1/2 stars...not the best text I have come across.......2004-03-10

Out of all the texts I have read and used in my first two years of law school, this is one I would rank on the lower end.

First of all, I recognize the fact that it is a difficult job trying to put together a comprehensive study of evidence. It contains some of the law's more difficult areas including hearsay and character evidence, both of which could be (and are) multi-volume studies unto themselves. That being said, I encountered more than a few problems with this book having nothing to do with the topic.

The case selections are standard, most were on point as far as I can recall. The real problems came in the case notes and explanatory sections. I found myself having to refer to my hornbook again and again in an effort to find some lucid passages on the topic. Instead of explaining in plain terms how the evidentiary rule works, they rely on the cases. Where there are such explanatory sections, they are often far too short for such complicated topics. However, the book's most glaring fault comes from its treatment of the post-case note sections. For most, these passages are extremely important since they show how the law has evolved in the wake of the preceding case. They also frequently offer guides to help the reader interpret the law as applied and give hints as to which points in the opinion have been the most influential. This book offers little in the way of such help, opting instead to ask open-ended questions. These questions quickly become aggravating and are almost totally useless as a learning tool. I realize that the law is not black and white, but there is such thing as a majority rule or prevailing law. I want to read something that I can hang my hat on; I don't want to read "How ought such a case be resolved?" Such questions are neither thought provoking nor helpful.

I also am not a fan of the entire Mueller/Kirkpatrick series. The books are smaller than most, which I like since law books tend to be a pain to carry around. However, smaller dimensions also mean smaller margins, which are difficult to take notes in. This annoyance outweighed the benefits of its size.

Overall, I think there are better evidence books out there. My professor apparently agreed since she announced at the end of the semester that she will be switching to a different text.

Book Description

This remarkable and innovative guide to Japanese economic statistics describes the major statistical series on both the real and the monetary economy of Japan. Issued by government agencies as well as private companies, the statistics provide a complete statistical picture of Japan's economy.
This information has never before been available in the English language. The statistics are methodically presented and explained in nontechnical language and hundreds of tables and graphs. Not only do the authors present the results, but they also create a clear and precise account of their meaning
and importance. The authors also provide explanations of the interrelationships between the statistics and a description of the role each statistic plays in a macroeconomic context. This fully up-to-date reference will be indispensable for anyone interested in the Japanese economy or comparative
economic systems.

Customer Reviews:

Looking forward to an updated version.......2002-02-18

This is a good start to anyone serious about understanding Japan's economy. However, it needs some updating.

Comprehensive data for research.......2000-04-21

If you are looking for economic statistical data on Japan'seconomy in the early 1990s, this is an excellent source. You may haveto do some searching, but the information is in this book. A good resource for researchers in the fields of sociology, polictics, and economics.

Book Description

A major report from the National Policy Association examines the increasingly contentious topic of growing income inequality in America. The Inequality Paradox: Growth of Income Disparity, edited by James A. Auerbach, NPA Senior Vice President, and Richard S. Belous, former NPA Vice President and Chief Economist, is based on papers presented at a major NPA conference in 1997 on the growth of income inequality, plus additional commissioned papers on this topic.

The authors, 20 key leaders from government, business, labor, and academia, point to three main factors that have led to an increase in income disparity particularly in the United States, but also in Europe: labor market forces -- including shifts in the world of work created by technological changes, globalization, and the decline of unionization; a growing diversity in the composition of households -- including the rise of single-parent families and families with dual earners; and policy changes -- including macroeconomic policies required to create a competitive and growing economy.

The Inequality Paradox provides an overview of the issue and then explores the dimensions of the problem. This is followed by chapters that examine the contributing causes and consequences as well as income inequality in other nations. The concluding section of the volume presents possible policy responses to growing income inequality.

Book Description

The first section of Semantic Web and Education surveys the basic aspects and features of the Semantic Web. After this basic review, the book turns its focus to its primary topic of how Semantic Web developments can be used to build attractive and more successful education applications.

The book analytically discusses the technical areas of architecture, metadata, learning objects, software engineering trends, and more. Integrated with these technical topics are the examinations of learning-oriented topics such as learner modeling, collaborative learning, learning management, learning communities, ontological engineering of web-based learning, and related topics. The result is a thorough and highly useful presentation on the confluence of the technical aspects of the Semantic Web and the field of Education or the art of teaching. The book will be of considerable interest to researchers and students in the fields Information Systems, Computer Science, and Education.

Doug Florzak's Free Agent Marketing Guide is more than just 100+ marketing tips; its success comes from its combination of concisely-stated, actionable ideas, case studies,and resources.

How To Sell Toys and Hobbies on eBay is a practical, easy-to-use guide for people of all backgrounds seeking to earn money selling on the internet auction website eBay - from individuals looking to make a little cash on toys in the attic to entrepreneurs striving to get a business-at-home off the ground.

A highly accessible "how-to" guide that quickly pays for itself.

Ho-Hum.......2006-07-29

If you have never sold anything on Ebay and want to get started, this book will provide you with step-by-step basics on how to get up and running in a light, easy-to-read style. And it doesn't really matter what category you want to sell in because, unfortunately, this book has very little to offer in the Toys and Hobbies category specifically. It doesn't even have the helpful sidebars that were prominent in the first two books in this series.

Bottom line: A good how-to resource for someone brand-new to eBay, no matter what category they want to sell in; but experienced sellers will find it boring. Sorry, but there's nothing new to learn here.

Simple, full of General Advice.......2003-10-23

This book is mostly full beginner advice that could be used by anyone just entering the professional job market. Very little content is Webmaster, IT specific, what is specific is rudimentary.

I got this book from the Library, I am glad I did not have to pay anything for it, it provided me with zero information. I also checked out "Web Design in a Nutshell", published by O'Reilly, their books are infinitely more informative.

Who is this book for?.......2000-04-26

I thought the author would assume that people buying this book already know the basics of web design and other common sense issues, such as knowing to "proofread your resume" (there actually was a section on this). Instead this book is completely book is completely basic and boring. I was hoping it would be really specific by giving advice such as how important it is to learn Java. Not sure who it was written for because who would buy a book about being a Webmaster if they didn't have a clue?

DUH!.......2000-04-10

That one word (DUH! ) sums up the content of this book.

If you are dedicated to having your intelligence insulted, then its trivial, elementary, superflous, and mostly irrelevant information is eminently for you.

hello! this book is the simple. and I am interested in field of the webmaster.

Helpful for Novice Web Starters.......1999-12-31

Succinctly, this is a short book (about 140 pages) that answers frequently asked questions for novice web starters. I found it helpful, and particularly liked the: professional association, training program, and accrediting body listings. Don't expect great detail on any one topic but an overview for guidance.
