A new international business text for a new and ever-changing global environment.
International Business: Perspectives from Developed and Emerging Markets provides students with a balanced perspective on business in a global environment, exploring implications for multinational companies in developed and emerging markets. This is the first text of its kind to emphasize strategic decision-making as the cornerstone of its approach while focusing on emerging markets. Traditional topics, like foreign exchange markets and global competition, are contrasted with emerging operations, like Chinese market intervention and Islamic finance, to provide students with an understanding of successful business strategy. Readers learn to develop and implement these strategies across cultur...
This volume contains the proceedings of the 2000 International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. The book captures a snapshot view of the state of the art in the field of mechanics and will be invaluable to engineers and scientists from a variety of disciplines.
"The organizing committee envisioned bringing together three groups of people working on the following topics in fluid and plasma dynamics: 1. Geometric aspects : Hamiltonian structures, perturbation theory and nonlinear stability by variational methods, 2) Analytical and numerical methods: contour dynamics, spectral methods, and functional analytic techniques, 3) Dynamical systems aspects: experimental and numerical methods, bifurcation theory, and chaos."- introduction
This volume tells much about what scientific truths are known and also about the methods used to uncover them.
Here is a provocative collection of essays by Philip Morrison, widely known for his work on the Manhattan project, and later for his involvement in quantum and nuclear physics and high energy astrophysics. Morrison offers a stimulating look at diverse subjects ranging from cosmology (particularly interstellar communication) to nuclear disarmament to creative ways of teaching science. He also offers his own perspective on his inspiring friendships with Niels Bohr, Richard Feynman, Bernard Peters, and other physics giants.
"This innovative guide offers students hands-on learning opportunities with electro-magnetism and electronics. Students will see home-made microwaves, sparks, and logic circuits with equipment they create from inexpensive materials. In the process, abstract concepts will become familiar. Students will also discover that real-world problems are many-sided and yet observable and measurable. Students become designers, inventors, and doers; in trying to answer first questions, they will learn that there are many more to define and address." "Thirteen carefully chosen and tested experiments are designed to safely introduce students to the physics of charges. In the process, abstract concepts and relationships will become more real and more intuitive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
