This book offers a theoretical and unified explanation of how prices are determined in practice Pricing, as observed in real life, turns out to be almost discriminatory Four broad areas are covered: the spatial pricing of bulky products (Part I); the intertemporal pricing of storable goods, exhaustible resources, new durables, and nonstorable ожбня goods and services (Part II); two-part tariffs, commodity bundling, tie-ins, and nonlinear prices in general (Part III); and pricing of goods of different quality(Part IV) Each essay contains an introductory chapter describing the business practices that are to be rationalized and evaluated This is the first unified treatment of a recent and growing body of literature in the 'new industrial organization' field It fills the gap between textbook microeconomics and real-life antitrust cases The treatment is as nontechnical and down to earth as possible to permit a wide audience for this comprehensive discussion of industrial pricing.  ISBN 0521283949.

The economic restructuring that has gone on since the 1980s has produced a new economic space in which service and high tech firms are at the forefront of innovation One of the features of the new economy is what pop geographer Joel Kotkin calls "nerdistans," or smaller cities with a substantial high tech sector, limits on growth, environmentally ожбоя friendly policies and a generally well-educated population In New Money, Nice Town, Leonard Nevarez takes a close look at how "new economy" firms in "quality of life" cities interact with local political structures, finding that they are both more liberal and more detached than their traditional counterparts This new global economy has created communities whose politics are more democratic, but also more tenuous and unstable.  ISBN 0415933439.

We are fascinated by the great dead cities of the past, not least because the history of their decline offers a stark warning to our increasingly urbanized existence Bringing together legend and the latest archeological research, "The Atlas of Lost Cities" probes the mysteries of the ancient city dwellers and explores the lessons to ожбпр be learnt from the collapse of cities once thought indestructible Investigating cities in terms of their physical environment, this book shows how nature shapes a city's development yet may also contain the seeds of its destruction While rising sea levels have drowned fabled ports, such as Mahabalipuram in India and Herakleion near Alexandria, it was the disappearance of the rivers that caused the Silk Road oases of Loulan and Niya to sink back into the sands The cities most often glorified in myth and legend - those ruled by powerful leaders and the great ancient spiritual sites - are also explored The imperial centres, such as Carthage and Nineveh, may have been the most magnificent of all, yet the ambitions of their rulers often led to their annihilation And even the most sacred cities of the past were not eternal as their pilgrims believed: holy places such as Angkor, Akhetaten and Ephesus all came, ultimately, to be abandoned Exhaustively researched and beautifully illustrated, "The Atlas of Lost Cities" tells the full story of the rise, fall and rediscovery of our vanished cities Иллюстрации Автор Бренда Розен Brenda Rosen.  Издательство: Godsfield, 2007 г Суперобложка, 176 стр ISBN 978-1-84181-327-1 Язык: Английский Формат: 250x290 Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.

Book DescriptionThe rise of the knowledge economy has far-reaching implications for the nature of economic organization as well as firm strategy Not surprisingly, thinking in management studies as well as in economies has been profoundly affected by these changes Thus, management thinking in particular has been increasingly characterized ожбпй by a schism between those who advocate 'knowledge' or 'capabilities-based' approaches in the strategy and organization fields and those who adopt more economies-influenced approaches, notably the economics of organization This book is a sustained attempt to overcome this schism Its basic argument is that knowledge-based and organizational economics approaches are not substitutes but complements In particular, organizational economics has much to contribute with respect to furthering the understanding of efficient organization and strategy in the emerging knowledge economy This theme is taken through several theroretical as well as empirical variations Themes such as the incentive liabilities of flat, 'knowledge-based' organizations, the role of complementary HRM practices for fostering knowledge sharing and creation, and the role of organizational instruments in the knowledge management activities of the multinational corporate are extensively treated The book thus contains important implications for knowledge management, organizational design and international management The book encompasses nine chapters which critically examine current thinking on strategy, and organization The reasoning is non-technical While primarily aimed at a management studies audience, economists and other social scientists will also benefit from it, including Advanced Students, Academics and Researchers.  2005 г ISBN 0199240647.

"Fetish BubbleGirls" presents the work of internationally recognized graffiti artist Tilt in an unabashedly new, colorful, and playful volume Graffiti has always been an inherently dangerous, high-wire act - the execution of art in risky, often illegal situations And one could argue for a strong parallel that exists between the ожбпц classic graffiti writing's extensive use of bubbly, curvaceous shapes and the female form The French born graf writer obsessively explores these tensions and parallels in "Fetish BubbleGirls" as he explores the world in search of beautiful young canvases on which to execute his art Although this mission straddles the globe, there is a common thread that emerges as the most striking detail of the project - the openness and balance between innocence and playfulness and sexuality and the highly charged environment that all of the models inhabit Формат издания: 15,5 см х 21 см Автор Tilt.  Издательство: Publikat, 2007 г Мягкая обложка, 128 стр ISBN 978-3-939566-10-6 Язык: Английский Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.

This book makes Keynes's writing on his General Theory accessible to students by presenting this theory in a careful, consistent manner that is faithful to the original Keynes's theory continues to be important, because the issues it raised, such as theproblems of involuntary unemployment, the volatility of investment, and the complexity of ожбур monetary arrangements in modern capitalist economies, are still with us Keynes's method of analysis, which tries to allow for the complications of dealing with historical time, deserves the careful attention given in this book Keynes's formal analysis dealt only with a short period of time during which changes in productive capacity as a result of net investment were small relative to initial productive capacity Roy Harrod and Joan Robinson were the two most prominent followers of Keynes who attempted to extend his analysis to the long period by allowing for the effects of investment on productive capacity as well as on effective demand The careful examination of their writings on this topic is a natural complement to the presentation of Keynes's General Theory and makes clear the severe limitations on any use of equilibrium concepts in dealing with accumulation in models that try to observe Keynes's warnings about an unknowable future in the type of world we inhabit.  ISBN 0521368154.
