European Accountancy Yearbook 1992/93
European Accountancy Yearbook is the first annual reference work to focus on the emerging Pan-European accounting scene. Following numerous international mergers and syndicate formations large accountancy firms are competing to provide services to international corporations and businesses with cross-border trade. The Yearbook provides a one-stop reference source allowing financial directors of these companies to find out which accountancy firms are providing what services and where. It will also provide great assistance to other accountancy and financial services organisations to evaluate the state of the fast growing European market, and to assess competitors or possible partners. The Yearbook includes profiles of all the major firms showing the international coverage, their services offered, fee income, partners, branch offices, etc. In addition the Yearbook includes invaluable reference data such as country by country accountancy scene overview, corporate tax rates, E.C. directives, etc.

Beyond the Regulation Approach
Every now and then, a book comes along that you positively want to be asked to read and review, and this is one of them a major work of scholarship in its own right, while at the same time, a ground-clearing exercise for what is to follow. . . . This, it should be emphasized, is a hugely impressive body of work, an expansive statement of Jessop s contribution as a major figure within the world of regulation approaches. Ray Hudson, Economic Geography This book presents a detailed and critical account of the regulation approach in institutional and evolutionary economics. Offering both a theoretical commentary and a range of empirical examples, it identifies the successes and failures of the r...
Intelligent Systems: Theory, Research and Innovation in Applications
From artificial neural net / game theory / semantic applications, to modeling tools, smart manufacturing systems, and data science research – this book offers a broad overview of modern intelligent methods and applications of machine learning, evolutionary computation, Industry 4.0 technologies, and autonomous agents leading to the Internet of Things and potentially a new technological revolution. Though chiefly intended for IT professionals, it will also help a broad range of users of future emerging technologies adapt to the new smart / intelligent wave. In separate chapters, the book highlights fourteen successful examples of recent advances in the rapidly evolving area of intelligent systems. Covering major European projects paving the way to a serious smart / intelligent collaboration, the chapters explore e.g. cyber-security issues, 3D digitization, aerial robots, and SMEs that have introduced cyber-physical production systems. Taken together, they offer unique insights into contemporary artificial intelligence and its potential for innovation.
The Nordic States and European Unity
The idea of European unity, which the Nordic states have historically resisted, has recently become the foremost concern of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Finland. Christine Ingebritsen provides a timely analysis of Nordic economic and security policies in the wake of the vast transformation of regional politics between 1985 and 1995. The Nordic States and European Unity addresses two central questions: Why did all five Nordic states trade autonomy for integration after 1985? And why do some follow the British pattern, resisting supranationalism, while others prefer the German strategy of embedding their policies in a common European project?Through extensive interviews with represent...
Ada-Europe '93
This volume contains the proceedings of the twelfth Ada-Europe conference, held in France in 1993. The French name "Ada sans fronti res" (the only French words in the book) symbolizes the unlimitedness and novelty of Ada, as well as Europe-wide interest. Many papers relate to Ada-9X, the new standard that the Ada coimmunity is close to achieving after worldwide consultation and debate about requirements, specification, anddetailed definition. Their focus is on management, real-time, and compiler validation. Part of the conference was on object orientation, together with various issues relating to the general structure of the language, including exceptions to a certain use of genericity and heterogeneous data, efficiency, formal requirements and CASEs, and comparison with a competitor language. A third part relates to real-time, past with performance measurement, present with certification andapplications, and future with the ExTRA project and 9X.
The Structure and Evolution of Recent U.S. Trade Policy
The trade policies addressed in this book have far-reaching effects on the world's increasingly interdependent economies, but until now little research has been devoted to them. This volume represents the first systematic effort to analyze specific U.S. trade policies, particularly nontariff measures. It provides a better understanding of how trade policies operate, how effective they are, and what their costs and benefits are to trading nations. The contributors chart the history of U.S. trade policy since World War II, analyze industry-specific trade barriers, and discuss the effects of tariff preferences and export-promoting policies such as export credits and domestic international sales corporations (DISCs). The final section of essays examines the worldwide impact of import policies, pointing out subtleties in industry-specific policies and providing insight into the levels of protection in developing countries. The contributors blend state-of-the-art economics with language that is accessible to the business community, economists, and policymakers. Commentaries accompany each paper.
Stagg vs. Yost
Corruption, scandals, and reports of wrongdoing in college football are constantly in the news. From Penn State’s Joe Paterno to Ohio State’s Jim Tressel, we have come to learn that some of the most lauded coaches don’t always live up to their saintly reputations. Perhaps no era of college football was ever more emblematic of this than the early 1900s, a time when coaches worked the system with merciless flair to recruit the best players and then keep them eligible to play, even while other coaches were trying to steal already-enrolled players from rival universities. Amos Alonzo Stagg of the University of Chicago and Fielding H. Yost of the University of Michigan were no exception, an...
