Examining the process of entrepreneurial capitalism in which firms come into existence, then managerial capitalism and the changing motives of management in corporations, this book reviews the theory of the firm and corporation.
Public policy and management problems have been described as poorly defined, messy, squishy, unstructured, intractable, and wicked. In a word, they are complex. This book illustrates the development and use of simulation models designed to capture some of the complexity inherent in the formulation, management, and implementation of policies aimed at addressing such problems. Simulation models have long existed at the fringes of policy inquiry but are not yet considered an essential component of the policy analyst’s toolkit. However, this situation is likely to change because with improvements in computational power and software, simulation is now easier to include in the standard repertoire of research tools available for discovery and decision support. This volume provides both a conceptual rationale for using simulations to inform public policy and a practical introduction to how such models might be constructed and employed. The focus of these papers is on the uses of simulation to gain understanding and inform policy decisions and action. Techniques represented in this volume include Monte Carlo simulation, system dynamics and agent based modeling.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on the Theory and Application of Cryptographic Techniques, EUROCRYPT 2002, held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in April/May 2002. The 33 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 122 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on cryptanalysis, public-key encryption, information theory and new models, implementational analysis, stream ciphers, digital signatures, key exchange, modes of operation, traitor tracing and id-based encryption, multiparty and multicast, and symmetric cryptology.
The construction industry is one of the key economic sectors in Europe, but it was hit hard by the financial crisis. In the euro zone, employment in construction declined by a quarter since 2008. These difficult times raise important questions about the future path of the construction industry. The Briefing describes the various aspects of renovation and maintenance activities in the EU, and explores their potential to become the main growth driver for the European construction market.
This book is an effort at creating a collaborative platform for experts and key stakeholders to share their expertise and experiences with successful practices at creating inclusive environments. The objective is to give the readers multiple blueprints of success providing a varied range of perspectives and solutions. The underlying thought remains that inclusion can truly happen in one way or another but first starts with the singular belief that it can be done. The contributions have been arranged in the following sections: Section A - Inclusive Education: A Global Perspective Section B - Stories of Resilience: Pre-School to University Section C - Healing Touch: Perspectives from Specialists Section D - Creating Inclusive Communities: A Blueprint At the end of each story the editors have included key takeaways, additional pathways and reflective questions for the reader's reference.
