Revolution and Economic Transition: The Iranian Experience

Book Description

`Financial industries in central, eastern and south-eastern Europe have undergone dramatic changes over the past decade. Foreign direct investment contributed to the development of market-oriented banking and financial systems able to support the rapid pace of economic growth in these countries. Policymakers, academics and private sector analysts have contributed to this volume with their stimulating insights on a broad range of issues, from recent credit booms to the cross-border integration of banking and capital markets. Anyone who wants to understand how finance, growth and financial stability interact in transition economies should read this book.' - Mario Draghi, Governor of the Banca d'Italia and Chairman of the Financial Stability Forum

This book highlights the achievements and challenges of the ongoing process of financial integration in Europe.

The financial integration of Europe is both welcomed as an economic driving force and watched with concern as a source of potential stability. After all, changing financial, regulatory and corporate ownership structures are fuelling competition, capital mobility and financial intermediation, but at the same time creating new systemic risks. With a special focus on Central, Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, the contributors to this book explore a wide spectrum of underlying issues, including the finance-growth nexus, credit boom patterns, the implications of foreign bank entry modes, lessons learned from old EU member states and commercial bank strategies. Authoritative views from central bank officials and policymakers are complemented with a special focus on empirical and econometric evidence from academia as well as practical insights from key financial market players.

This unique collection will be of great interest to economists and experts in the fields of financial markets and European integration from central, commercial and investment banks, governments, international organizations, universities and research institutes.

Best book on network based markets.......2004-11-17

I came across this book because I was searching for relevant expertise to help me with real-world decisions. I have helped launched B2B and B2C products for networked-based businesses including amazon, realnetworks, and t-mobile. I've also consulted on network-based business models and products to make go/no go investment decisions.

From the perspective of an investor, a busines unit owner, or a product manager this is the best book there is for understanding and succeeding in network-based markets. This book is a fantastic resource.

Standing the test of time.......2003-08-02

Having seen and read all too many Internet business books over the past few years, Net Markets is a standout. The authors do a great job of articulating a roadmap for the business leader that is not only rigourous and well thought out, but more important, is practical.

Industrial markets have changed significantly, and this is a great expose on what that blueprint for change is going to look like moving forward. Very highly recommended.

A terrific book for the manager.......2003-08-01

Dagenais and Gautschi have blended analytical rigor with straightforward pratical advice for the busy executive. Net Markets puts an enormous topic into perspective--it is easy to read, interesting, and very applied. I especially appreciated the CEO playbook at the conclusion of each chapter. Highly recommended.

On the Frontiers of Net Marketing.......2003-07-24

~Despite the dot.com bust, and the topping of the Clinton boom in 2001, the revolutionary transformation of global markets gathers pace. This is particularly the case for B2B markets. Dagenais and Gautschi have built up a wealth of practical managerial experience and advise, and distilled it in a readable format for
managers. This is an invaluable reference for anyone seeking to
keep up with the impact of the net on marketing. A most important read.

Book Description

Veteran communication consultant Terry Pearce asserts that the best way to inspire true commitment among followers is to speak from the heart. He argues that the most effective leader is one who can "lead out loud," connecting people with a vision and inspiring them to make that vision their own. To illustrate his ideas, Pearce analyzes speeches by Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ross Perot, Anita Roddick, Peter Uberroth, and other public figures. This book offers necessary and sage advice for a media-driven world where sound bites and technology have too often created huge distances between leaders and listeners.

Solid advice on communicating.......2006-02-21

A speaker may be able to wow an audience with technique and entertainment, but if everyone walks out the door unchanged, than the speaker is not a leader. The speaker who truly engages an audience and makes them think about themselves, their roles, their company or their country is rare indeed. To engage an audience on this level, you must have true conviction in what you say. At the heart of leadership is the ability to tap your own values and experiences and communicate them to others. Audiences today have grown much more cynical. They can detect falsehood from the back of the hall. Authenticity is the only thing that will reach them anymore. Terry Pearce has the following advice for people who need to improve speaking skills, and communicate effectively as leaders.

· Discover what matters to you. Uncover your values. Make sure that you don't say anything in your speech that contradicts your core values.
· Create a structure for your speech with a beginning, middle and end.
· Use data effectively. Whenever possible, use specific information rather than talking generally. Use examples.
· Use your personal experiences to connect with your audience.

The Great Communicator Won't Have Anything on You .......2005-12-28

The second edition of Pearce's book provides both insight and practical advice for persons who want to lead and inspire change. Organized in two parts, the book begins with an examination of leadership and a path for developing a "message platform for change," and it concludes with advice on how to communicate the message effectively. As Pearce says, "in the process of change, communication is what fuels progress toward the new state." Whether you are leading a family, a business or seeking political office, this book will help you connect to the power of your voice as a tool in the process of change.

Thank God this was only 150 short pages.......2005-05-23

I feel really bad for those poor students of Mr. Pearce who don't drop out of his class the first week.

This is the first book on public speaking that I've read where I honestly haven't taken anything from this book, and I've read about five. He talks about all of the mechanics of public speaking, but something big is missing from this book. Also, leadership via public speaking, which seems to be the titular topic of this book, is missing from the pages.

Mr. Pearce reminds me of one of my statistics professors. This professor, which I'll call Mr. Banal, was a very smart person, had studied a lot, was up on the current statistics methodologies, and was a nice person. However, Mr. Banal's lecture consisted almost entirely of an analysis of what he thought of the textbook. Mr. Banal always had some new "insight"--which usually amounted to a very minor disagreement that he had with the author of the text. He talked about this minor disagreement for the entire lecture hour. I think that doing this allowed him to feel good about himself, because he was proving to the students that he was smarter than the author of the text.

This was really confusing to me. Who should I believe, Mr. Banal or the author of the statistics text? The author seemed a lot more interesting (which is funny considering the subject), but Mr. Banal was the one who ultimately would be testing me.

This is what Mr. Pearce does in his book. He is constantly rewriting speeches of others into a "better speech." A really funny example of this occurs during the end of the book, where he's quoting Anita Roddick, managing director of The Body Shop International. Roddick is an excellent public speaker, and he quotes often from one of her speeches, which is probably the most interesting part of the book. Toward the end, Mr. Pearce cherry picks a paragraph from her speech and reworks it. The initial paragraph wasn't all that bad, but Mr. Pearce's "improved" version of it was terrible.

This is the same kind of difference between a sports commentator and an avid fan. The sports commentator will describe the athlete, what the athlete did during the performance, and trace the effects of the athlete's performance. This is very complex and requires a lot of skill.

The avid fan will say things like, "I would have done this...I would have done that." This requires very little skill at all.

Mr. Pearce is the avid fan, telling us what he would have done, rather than actually doing anything himself.

It kind of seems like Mr. Pearce was writing this book for the dean of UC-Berkeley, rather than for the public.

Insightful!.......2004-06-08

Business coach Terry Pearce teaches you how to put the personal perspective back into your professional communications. With a credible and authoritative voice, he explains how authentic human connection is missing from today's communications, even though people crave it, especially as they evaluate who they trust to lead them through rapid change. He maintains that leaders who communicate authentically and passionately will inspire loyalty and make their mark. While Pearce is clearly convinced about the importance of inspiring your constituents, the pace of his book won't exactly move your spirit. He walks you slowly and carefully through the discipline he uses to help clients rediscover their authentic voices and craft messages that resonate. His corporate and political client list is quite select, but we find his communication strategies relevant for anyone who is leading change - whether you are building a small community or a large company.

Don't use a resume - good sound advice...........2002-12-06

Seven years ago I was working at a library when a patron returned this book. The title caught my eye, and since I was ready to update my resume I checked it out.

My resume was 2 pages going on 3. One of my goals was to reduce the size. Also, I was looking for a job in a field where I had no employment history and was not "qualified" from an educational viewpoint either. But I knew I had something to offer if I could get potential employers to look beyond my "employment history" and "education" and see my potential (and give me an interview).

Shortly after that I saw an ad for a job I really wanted and wrote up a one-page qualifications statement tailored to the job I wanted. I got the job and 7 years later I am still working with the same company, and I'm still greatful to the author of this book.

The approach presented in this book is useful and worth knowing about. I liked the book because it made sense, and introduced a method of presenting oneself I had never seen or heard of before, despite having read several books.

There are some really good examples. The one that struck me most was for a highly qualified homemaker with lots of experience, but no previous employment history. Anyone can learn from her experience.

If you are looking at changing careers, or beginning one, buy this book. I am glad it is still in print as the concepts covered are just as useful now as they were to me 7 years ago.

Book Description

Much has been written about money—how to invest, save, become a millionaire, get out of debt, find financial freedom, change the monetary system, manage a business, hedge or save taxes. So what makes this book stand out from those already in the bookshops?

Written for lay reader and expert alike, 30 Lies is a response to a newly emerging trend, where peoples' interest in money is not just to try and make more of it. But to understand better the causes of the increasingly contradictory money world they find themselves in. Some of the issues: income inequity, increasing stress in making ends meet, decay of social systems, evaporation of pensions, polarisation of wealth, third-world indebtedness, Enrons and more. This book promises a simple understanding of these issues.

But it goes further. This book not only exposes misleading flaws and "lies" in many universally accepted and unquestioned assumptions about money—it dissolves them!

Sense and commonsense.......2005-03-17

This book is very promising. Its goals are ambitious. There are some insights. But unfortunately a lot is lost in commonsense. The author's style is also a factor. He seems to like to remind the reader that he is in Italy as if this would make any difference (if anything). He also seems to like to keep the reader waiting for the next revelation, for what is coming later. A nice attempt to keep interest, but rather a salesman's strategy. An intelligent reader will soon find out that there is one truth not told. It is too bad since this book could have been very insightful if the author cared about putting the pieces together well.

The author at one point says, "if you're in South America and have graduated to the very top of the league, you may be reading this in your private helicopter, which is now a necessity since you can no longer risk the dangers of visiting your friend by car." Anybody who has ever lived or spent enough time in South America will certainly laugh at this. One can certainly count the number of private helicopters flying over the skies of many South American cities, large, middle size and small. Maybe the 30 lies are not about money. A typo in the title of the book?

In one of the chapters, where the author "reveals" that high price is not equal high quality/service, some core principles of marketing and perceived price levels are not even mentioned.

The author does raise some interesting points by being argumentative. One does have the feeling that the author could do a lot more. But he does not. Maybe he should really get to know South America better. Or at least spend more time in Switzerland, where he can meet many money wizards. He does sign the end of the book stating that he is in Zurich.

Book Description

In this broad-ranging study, James Raven explores popular literature and the book trade in the second half of the eighteenth century. Based on intensive research into the production and sale of literature ranging from novels and magazines to courtesy books and fashionable tracts, the book examines the representation of the newly wealthy. Dr Raven challenges the notion that prejudice against the businessman was a late nineteenth-century phenomenon. He shows how, during a period of often bewildering change and instability, a competitive literature industry led reaction against excessive consumer spending, contributed to the definition of legitimate economic behaviour, and stimulated unprecedented attacks upon the social presumption of tradesmen. This is a scholarly and stimulating study which makes important contributions to debates on the supposed decline of the British industrial spirit and on the growing self-confidence of the middle class. Judging New Wealth adds very greatly to our understanding of late eighteenth-century England and its cultural and business climate.

Book Description

Keeping and gaining market share is what most business strive for in the race to make brands profitable. In a hugely competitive world, customer loyalty has become a key area for concern.
What would happen if you could go one step further and identify not just those customers who are loyal to your brand, but those who are truly committed to your product or service? This book helps you to do just that.
More that ten years ago, Jannie Hofmeyr and Butch Rice created something called The Conversion Model - a technique that analyses the degree of a person's psychological commitment to anything and everything.
Marketers will be able to gain a strategic advantage within their market if they implement the thinking, tools and strategies outlines in this book.
"After years of using customer satisfaction measures I was extremely frustrated at the lack of correlation between satisfaction and subsequent customer defection rates. The measurement of commitment, via The Conversion Model provided the vital link I had been looking for." Alan Gilmour, Brand and Marketing Director, Lloyds TSB
"The Conversion Model enabled us to establish real insight into loyalty and we effectively fused it with a segmentation process. This has allowed us to really grapple with the core market dynamics and establish key marketing objectives in an increasingly competitive and diverse marketplace..." Mark Horton, Group Head of Marketing, Northcliffe Newspaper Group
"Since I first came across the Conversion Model back in 1990, I have always found it was the perfect tool for measuring the health of brands I've worked on..." David V. Spangler, Director, The Council for Marketing and opinion Research (MCMOR) and former Research Director of Levi Strauss Co
"The Conversion Model is a compelling strategic marketing tool that offers a true understanding of institutional investor behaviour. It is a predictive indicator of potential market share gains and losses with a phenomenal degree of precision." Patricia Toney, Manager, Marketing research, Chicago Board of Trade
"To grow a business, convert customers to your offering and then keep them committed....a very powerful answer is in this book." John Deighton, Professor of Business Admininstration, Harvard Business School
"Using the Conversion Model has given us significant insights into brand choice across a range of countries and cultures......The added dimension of commitment has allowed us to understand more comprehensively what is in the mind of our consumers - a real plus in terms of giving us the competitive edge." Janett Edelberg, Joseph E. Seagram & Sons

Not a quick fix book - but likely to be more effective........2004-02-10

The world is full of quick fix books, lose 10lbs in two weeks, double your sales or your money back. The problem with quick fixes is that they tend to work only in the short term.

What this book explores is the strategies that will help you win over the long and extremely long term. This is the kind of book that excites people in long term focused companies such as Coca Cola or Unilever. People who look at the lifetime value of a customer instead of next months sales target.

And because you are planning for long term, it is not a book that will "instantly change your life". Reading this book is only the beginning of a long hard road to affect change in the way your organisation treats people. Having read the book I am now embarking on implementing the concepts by reworking my segmentation plan. This may have paybacks down the line in terms of fewer defections from my company to competition.

But it is really hard to measure just how successful I will be over time. And it is only something that will become apparent over time.

That said, I believe that the fixes you learn in this book are the kind that will make a difference. They will improve you as a marketing manager, and will improve the service behaviour of your company.

It's not a book that is likely to set the world on fire, hardly the next Atkins diet! But I will place more faith in it.

The Definitive Management report.......2003-04-16

Thoroughly recomended.

A must have for strategic financial applications.

Book Description

Depending on one's point of view, multinational enterprises are either the heroes or the villains of the globalized economy. Governments compete fiercely for foreign direct investment by such companies, but complain when firms go global and move their activities elsewhere. Multinationals are seen by some as threats to national identities and wealth and are accused of riding roughshod over national laws and of exploiting cheap labor. However, the debate on these companies and foreign direct investment is rarely grounded on sound economic arguments.

This book brings clarity to the debate. With the contribution of other leading experts, Giorgio Barba Navaretti and Anthony Venables assess the determinants of multinationals' actions, investigating why their activity has expanded so rapidly, and why some countries have seen more such activity than others. They analyze their effects on countries that are recipients of inward investments, and on those countries that see multinational firms moving jobs abroad. The arguments are made using modern advances in economic analysis, a case study, and by drawing on the extensive empirical literature that assesses the determinants and consequences of activity by multinationals. The treatment is rigorous, yet accessible to all readers with a background in economics, whether students or professionals. Drawing out policy implications, the authors conclude that multinational enterprises are generally a force for the promotion of prosperity in the world economy.

excellent book on the economics of multinationals.......2007-05-03

This excellent book summarizes decades of research on the economics of multinational firms. A central puzzle economists pose is why multinational firms choose to establish an overseas presence rather than simply to export goods and services. The two main answers are to gain access to potentially large markets that would otherwise be closed--which the authors call horizontal foreign direct investment (HFDI)-- and to gain access to low-cost local inputs as part of a strategy of global competitiveness--termed vertical foreign direct investment (VFDI).

In the chapter on HFDI , the authors ask why multinational firms sometimes set up "greenfield" operations abroad rather than simply merging with or acquiring a local firm. Mergers and acquisitions "account for the dominant share of FDI flows, especially to high income countries." But greenfield investments are still important; most host countries prefer greenfield investments over mergers and acquisitions.

In the chapter on VFDI the central question is how a firm will divide its production processes across different locations with different factor prices in the presence of "trade costs" and "disintegration costs." VFDI flows between two countries will not occur unless factor endowments are sufficiently different. However, factor price equalization will occur over time, partly as a result of VFDI flows, and so VFDI may eventually be replaced by HFDI. Both, however, are dependent on trade and disintegration costs.

Why are the international operations of firms sometimes "organized internally, in wholly owned subsidiaries" and sometimes "externally, under arms-length contracts with independent local producers"? The main reason given for internalization is market failure connected with arms-length contracts. According to the authors, there are three types of market failures: the hold up problem, the dissipation of intangible assets, and principal-agent relationships between multinationals and local firms. The hold up problem occurs when a local firm has to make investments that are specific to the contracting relationship. The potential losses caused by an altered relationship result in underinvestment. The dissipation of intangible assets occurs when a foreign firm cannot avoid losing control over valued assets because of its contractual relationship with a local firm. The principal-agent problem occurs because of hidden actions or hidden information about local market conditions. The local firm may have an interest in concealing local market information from the foreign firm.

Another chapter summarizes large-n quantitative research on the determinants of FDI flows and other indicators of multinational activity. The main factors examined in this chapter are plant-level economies of scale, firm-level research intensity, home and host country market size, geographical distance (and other possible barrier-related factors), and transportation costs. The so-called "gravity model" explains much of the variance in country to country flows of FDI so most empirical research controls for gravity in measuring the impact of non-gravity factors. At the end of the chapter, the authors provide suggestions about how to improve existing quantitative research by allowing for a variety of motives for foreign investment (HFDI, VFDI, and combinations thereof), by including both firm-level and country-level variables in the analysis, and by separating mergers and acquisitions from greenfield investments empirically.

In summarizing many empirical studies on the impact of multinationals on host countries, the basic conclusion is that "MNEs are indeed very different from local firms." They are larger and more efficient, they pay higher wages and employ more skilled personnel. "This is so because MNEs bring to host countries a bundle of characteristics that are not necessarily available locally: technologies, brands, management procedures, market access, and so on."

A case study of foreign investment in Ireland, which has been successful in attracting increasing inward flows of FDI, mainly from the United States, shows that Irish tax incentives had a lot to do with the decision of multinationals to locate operations there. The authors conclude with a warning of the possible negative consequences of Ireland's having to harmonize its taxes with other member states of the European Union.

A further chapter on the impact of foreign investment on home countries concludes that this is generally positive because "foreign investments are more likely to strengthen than to deplete home activities." The authors are correct in noting, however, that home country effects are less well studied than host country effects.

In the concluding chapters, the authors call for "coordination and supranational regulations...to ensure that international markets work in an efficient and beneficial way." But they also argue that "multinationals are a fundamental and efficient component of a globalized world, not an enemy within." They advise developing countries to emulate Ireland which, in their view, "successfully managed to use its initial cost advantage to create long-lasting linkages with foreign investors."
This is an excellent book about the economics of multinationals and foreign direct investment, though it will not be a popular work among opponents of globalization. Unlike other works, it does not ignore negative effects of multinationals. It does not, however, discuss potentially negative cultural impacts of the branding and marketing strategies of global oligopolies. The authors put the onus on governments to see to it that the positive benefits of globalization can be felt beyond the narrow circle of industrialized and industrializing countries.

I would recommend this book for graduate students and for advanced undergraduates in economics or political economy programs. It is comprehensive in its coverage and clearly written, a worthy successor to earlier summaries of the field.
