Book Description

In this groundbreaking book, leading international economist, Richard Koo argues that far from being the sick man of Asia, Japan is suffering from a temporary but highly unusual economic aberration.

Economists and business commentators have always assumed that the majority of companies in any economy are forward looking and are trying to maximize profits. They never considered the possibility that a vast majority of companies may be placing their highest priorities on minimizing debt in order to repair their balance sheets. But that remote possibility has been the reality in Japan for the past decade, and more recently in many other countries including at least a part of the US.

Balance Sheet Recession argues that contrary to popular belief, it is this massive shift in corporate behavior, instead of structural problems, that is the root cause of both the deflation and the non-performing loan problems that have troubled Japan for so long. It argues that when the causality runs from the corporate balance sheet problems to deflation and banking problems, a highly unconventional policy response is needed to stabilize the economy. After all, the last time anything similar has happened was the 1930s in the US.

Richard Koo's experience in dealing with both the US banking crisis of the early 1980s and the Japanese balance sheet and banking problems of the last ten years makes him unique qualified to comment on this situation. He clearly explains how such a recession can happen in any economy following an asset price bubble, and how best to deal with it.

4 out of 5 stars Asset Bubbles & Their Potential Implications.......2006-01-17

A recount of the reasons and the monetary policy implications of the Japan experience after the 1990 asset bubble collapse. The interesting points are that many of the macro items discussed are eerily similar to what is happening in the US today. The bigger point of interest is where the Japanese system had a leveraged corporate debt issue, the US has both a corporate and a personal debt issue. Therefore, what are the implications when we as a society start to pay off on this debt? and when/if the Government changes their fiscal policy and starts to balance the budget? No matter, the markets will figure this out before most Americans realize what has hit them. All in, it was an interesting economic read both from a economic geek perspective and as many past government trade polices were detailed with colorful insights.

5 out of 5 stars The Book that will Help you Understand what is Going on in the Economy.......2005-07-30

I can't say enough good things about this book. He gets to the root causes and potential solutions of our current economic conditions in a clear and concise way. He should get a Noble Prize for his work (whatever that's worth considering recent recipients).

If you're an investor you'll make your money back many times over from his insight.

Brilliant, simply brilliant.

        5 out of 5 stars Useful, Streamlined, and Economical.......2004-01-19

        This is a terrific book on source use, plain and simple. Itýs arranged sensibly according to the most frequently-asked questions (ýWhen Do You Need to Acknowledge a Source?ý, ýWhen Should You Paraphrase and When Should You Quote?ý, ýHow Should You Punctuate Quotations?ý), and Davisýs concise and congenial advice informs us about the challenges of using electronic sources while providing excellent, clear, interdisciplinary, problem-solving examples.

        And it does all this in a fraction of the space allotted to the topic in style manuals, where both the subject of citation and the posture of writers toward their sources inevitably get diluted by obligatory attention to the regulations of Standard English usage. Davisýs guide is, therefore, clearly as important for what itýs not as for what it is. Itýs NOT a style manual (though it describes the ways different manuals handle citations and urges students to get style manuals for their fields); itýs NOT a bibliography of research materials; itýs NOT a guide to research in academic fields. It IS a sharp and constructive companion for your pursuit of the best ways to choose, assess, paraphrase, quote, and integrate source material into your writing. This tight focusýa keen decision on the part of both Davis and his publishersýforegrounds a subject which has probably never been more important. The book is perfectly suited for individuals who desire guidance on these matters, or (as in my case) for use in a writing class or even a first-year orientation program.

        I think Davis may be at his very best when he covers electronic and internet sources. His discussion of the way the Web has transformed the way we gather and transport information (pages 33-41) is keen and insightful, and his thoroughly practical bent on the subject shows that heýs been a thoughtful teacher of these matters for quite a while. Be sure not to miss the nicely-conceived section titled ýA Further Note About Style Manuals,ý where we get a series of sample citations for articles, books, and Web sites in the five major divisional formats (MLA, CMS, CBE, APA, and APSA).

        Finally, Davis discusses plagiarism, but in the broader context of how a writer chooses, evaluates, and uses material from pre-existing sources. This approach is much less legalistic and fear-inspiring than 90% of the published discussions, and is more attuned to the advantages one gains when using sources responsiblyýthe advantages in confidence and authority, as well as the added likelihood of unity and coherence in writing. Itýs all approached less as a matter of avoiding judicial action than as making choices when thinking about the rhetoric of an essay. Thatýs a rare virtue, and helps makes this a rare resource.

          Book Description

          Successful supply-chain management can often mean the difference between failing or thriving in today's healthcare marketplace. Equipment - from sheets to surgical tape to disposable or durable, ingestible to topical - is the infrastructure that supports the provision of healthcare. One of the highest cost, highest risk (in terms of liability) segments of the healthcare delivery process is the supply chain. Improving the supply chain yields readily apparent benefits in lower costs and improved healthcare delivery. Linking the supply chain to the information chain, through a maximized electronic patient record, has the potential to yield exponential benefits by creating the next phase of resource management.

          Healthcare organizations can easily use Wizdom's Healthcare Process and Practice Models and supporting analysis tools to improve internal processes. Starting with the base models and using the modeling tools, they can define their own processes. Then, process properties such as how long does the process take? How much does it cost? What is its impact on outcome? And what documents support it? can be documented, analyzed and compared to the best practices as defined in the base models. All of these capabilities are built into the tools and supporting knowledge base.

          This book demonstrates a more global, process-based approach to managing the electronic transactions that hold the healthcare industry together. Although successful materials management is vital to the economic viability of healthcare organizations, every aspect of healthcare in the hospital, longterm care facility, the home, or the clinic is part of the supply chain.

          Inside this book, you'll find:

          * How to maximize the potential of your Electronic Patient Record (ERP).
          * How to develop a strategic assessment.
          * The origins and benefits of activity modeling.

            1 out of 5 stars a disappointing book.......2002-10-07

            I bought this book based on other reviewers' comments. After reading the book, I am totally disappointed for the following reasons:
            1. it does not fit to the description of other reviewers. I am not sure we are reading the same book.
            2. it is a fast-food book with a lot of junk pictures that explain nothing the author try to explain.
            3. only 30% about M-commerce, and others about Business strategic stuff. I can read that from other expert on strategy.
            4. no clue what is the framework.
            5. you can get 5 times more good stuff from "informit.com" if you check the wireless link.

            2 out of 5 stars Lots of fluff and lousy pictures.......2002-05-07

            I had to put this book down. I found the content fairly obvious or at times questionsable in accuracy. The most annoying part was the illustrations which seemed to a collection of random clip art with connecting arrows. While the table of contents is impressive, I was very dissapointed in the content.

            I returned this book.

            5 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for today's business manager.......2001-09-24

            M-Commerce Crash Course is a well written book, the author clearly understands the subject and is able to convey this understanding to the reader. P.J. Louis is able to parallel the evolution of m-commerce to the evolution of telecommunications and e-commerce. Yet, the book is not so technically in-depth to loose the average business person.
            This is an excellent book for any business manager to read and understand the world of M-Commerce. It will provide an solid foundation to the understanding of M-Commerce without wasting time trying to research the information yourself. In addition, you are provided with the author's expertise in the field. He provides very descriptive examples of the subject matter, which helps to clarify the information.
            In business today, it is necessary to make rapid decisions based upon your knowledge and experience. This book provides you with the necessary information to help to build a solid understanding of M-Commerce. In turn, this will help you to make good business decisions.
            There is only one issue that isn't touched on in this book, but it isn't talked about in other business books either. This is the issue of software quality. This is an issue that has been overlooked by both big and small businesses. If Mr. Louis were to address this issue of the importance of software quality, then this book would be very thorough in its coverage of M-Commerce. Despite this, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in expanding their knowledgebase. This is an exceptional book for any non-technical manager to read and understand what M-Commerce is about, before making any decisions. I look forward to reading Mr. Louis's other books.

            4 out of 5 stars M-Commerce Crash Course.......2001-06-07

            This is great! I teach software testing including E-Comm and for the past few years have been collecting information from magazines, newspapers and such. These are all filed away in a big binder that I have never had time to organize, now I don't need to as this book covers it all. It even includes information on understanding the market, which is something that is difficult for software testers to understand. We have no control over what the market demands are, or the sales department sells, and have to be willing to change at a moments notice, and if we don't understand the business we cannot provide the right technology. How nice to see this in print!! Also, this will book is useful as a reference when I am preparing presentations and working in the Telecom industry!

            5 out of 5 stars Finally - A Really Useful Crash Course for Non-experts.......2001-04-26

            Kudos on a book that provides a sweeping view of a new and technically demanding subject in a easy to understand format.

            Mr. Louis has not only explained the technical intricacies thoroughly and in accessible terms, he shows a true gift for understanding the tactical and strategic implications of the "business of doing business" on the net. One of the most useful business books I have bought in the past few years!

                Book Description

                The increased mobility and volume of international capital flows is a striking trend in international finance. While countries worldwide have engaged in financial deregulation, nowhere is this pattern more pronounced than in East Asia, where it has affected in unanticipated ways the behavior of exchange rates, interest rates, and capital flows.

                In these thirteen essays, American and Asian scholars analyze the effects of financial deregulation and integration on East Asian markets. Topics covered include the roles of the United States and Japan in trading with Asian countries, macroeconomic policy implications of export-led growth in Korea and Taiwan, the effects of foreign direct investment in China, and the impact of financial liberalization in Japan, Korea, and Singapore.

                Demonstrating the complexity of financial deregulation and the challenges it poses for policy makers, this volume provides an excellent picture of the overall status of East Asian financial markets for scholars in international finance and Asian economic development.
