The ABC's of Science, Technology & Innovation (STI) Policy: Spelling Out Problems, Consequences and Viable Solutions
by Joseph P. LaneInnovation is a widely applied yet poorly understood term in the context of public policies and practices among Western nations. Technological innovations specifically have and will continue to advance civilization, shape modern society, and drive the economic health and geo-political standing of nations. This book offers a unique interpretation of science, technology & innovation (STI) policies in Western nations, particularly in regard to government-sponsored programs. The author challenges established thinking, directly addressing numerous myths that cloud our understanding of innovation and proposes a fresh perspective grounded in fundamental logic and analysis. Written in short chapters and presented in an alphabetically organized framework, this book addresses what is working and what isn’t working in current STI policies and suggests that the most efficient and effective way to generate technological innovations that yield the desired socio-economic benefits, is for national governments to sponsor directed scientific research and directed engineering development, and align both with the requirements of carefully managed commercial production. The book also features examples drawn from government data, scholarly literature, practitioner anecdotes and the author’s personal experience.
The ABCs of Socialism
by Bhaskar Sunkara Phil WrigglesworthSlim, accessible, inexpensive, irreverent introduction to socialism by the writers of Jacobin magazineThe remarkable run of self-proclaimed "democratic socialist" Bernie Sanders for president of the United States has prompted--for the first time in decades and to the shock of many--a national conversation about socialism. A New York Times poll in late November found that a majority of Democrats had a favorable view of socialism, and in New Hampshire in February, more than half of Democratic voters under 35 told the Boston Globe they call themselves socialists. It's unclear exactly what socialism means to this generation, but couple with the ascendancy of longtime leftwinger Jeremy Corbyn to the leadership of the Labour Party in the UK, it's clear there's a historic, generational shift underway.This book steps into this moment to offer a clear, accessible, informative, and irreverent guide to socialism for the uninitiated. Written by young writers from the dynamic magazine Jacobin, alongside several distinguished scholars, The ABCs of Socialism answers basic questions, including ones that many want to know but might be afraid to ask ("Doesn't socialism always end up in dictatorship?", "Will socialists take my Kenny Loggins records?"). Disarming and pitched to a general readership without sacrificing intellectual depth, this will be the best introduction an idea whose time seems to have come again.From the Trade Paperback edition.

by Bob ProctorAn accessible guide to the principles of success by one of the most respected and sought-after motivational speakers of our time. In the tradition of Og Mandino and Zig Ziglar, this inspirational guide uses a wide variety of subjects, from "Achievement" to "Worry," to bring clarity, information, and motivation to readers. For millions of readers, Bob Proctor's name is synonymous with success. A former protégé of personal development pioneer Earl Nightingale, Proctor first built a wildly successful business career, and then an internationally successful speaking career, elaborating on the principles of Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich and other classic success and prosperity texts. Proctor's position in the business motivation community equals that of Stephen Covey or Og Mandino. But as is not the case with those masters, his books have never been available to the general public--until now! In The ABCs of Success--the first trade book ever published by this master of motivation and prosperity--Proctor goes beyond the simple laws of success and attraction, weighing in on sixty-seven different topics essential to all those who wish to make their dreams a reality, including persistence, winning, effectiveness, and vision. Organized in A-to-Z fashion and composed of brief essays that can be read over and over, The ABCs of Success is an essential resource for anyone who wants the combined wisdom of a century of success thinking in a single, accessible volume.From the Trade Paperback edition.

ABCs of the Critical Path Method
by Ferdinand K. Levy Gerald L. Thompson Jerome D. WiestThe critical path method (CPM), one of a variety of quantitative tools for business decision-making, is a simple technique for analyzing, planning, and scheduling large complex projects and for completing them at minimum cost. Analysis by CPM may be applied to a host of projects that have three common characteristics essential for that analysis: the project consists of a well-defined collection of jobs; the jobs may be started or stopped independently of each other, within a given sequence; and the jobs must be performed in technological sequence. A step by step analysis demonstrates critical path scheduling and the process of constructing a graph.

Abdominal Wall Surgery: How Reimbursement Systems Can Change Surgical Evolution
by Elio Borgonovi Dalila Patrizia GrecoThis book presents different patient-oriented perspectives from surgeons, economic evaluation and management researchers, and business companies active in the healthcare sector, striking a balance between the appropriateness/effectiveness of treatment and efficiency/cost. It does not include technical surgical details, but instead provides the necessary knowledge regarding different groups of patients to help economic and management researchers make accurate evaluations. Although partially based on the specific case of abdominal wall surgery in the Italian health system, the book defines a model that can, with the necessary adaptations, be applied in other national contexts. It also analyzes different reimbursement systems and methods of data collection. This approach supports the evolution from evidence-based medicine (EBM) to the future of real-world data (big data analysis). Further, it highlights the critical issue of “silos” reimbursement, which is the pillar of DRG, and proposes methodology to evaluate the direct and indirect benefit and costs of surgery (for example quality of care, costs incurred in cases of surgical complications due to the use of inappropriate, low-cost material or due to surgical procedure. It is a valuable resource for clinicians, surgeons, policymakers and managers in the field.

Aberrant Capitalism: The Decay and Revival of Customer Capitalism (Elements in Reinventing Capitalism)
by Hunter Hastings Stephen DenningThe corporation was a timely emergent phenomenon of the capitalist system. Under entrepreneurial ownership with customer value creation goals, corporations introduced new products and services, new capital structures and new management processes capable of improving customer experiences in every facet of their lives. After entrepreneurship, the organizational model transitioned to managerial capitalism, and from there into command-and-control and central planning. Then came further transition into the era of financialization, where shareholder value replaced customer value as the purpose of the corporation. Managers diverted resources to their own enrichment as well as that of shareholders, at the expense of investment in future innovation. Capitalism's reputation has become tarnished and its purpose distorted. This Element ends with the promise of another emergent era, via the corporations of the digital age.

Abgrenzungsmaßstäbe im Abkommensrecht: Veranlassungsprinzip und Fremdvergleich bei der Betriebsstättengewinnabgrenzung (PwC-Studien zum Unternehmens- und Internationalen Steuerrecht #10)
by Solvejg GlatzAusgehend von dem Veranlassungsprinzip als tätigungsbezogenem Grundprinzip der Abgrenzung und dessen Konkretisierung durch den Fremdvergleichsgrundsatz analysiert die Arbeit die bisherige BFH-Rechtsprechung und diskutiert ausgewählte Fragestellungen der abkommensrechtlichen Betriebsstättengewinnabgrenzung. Es wird herausgearbeitet, dass sowohl dem Art. 7 OECD-MA als auch den sog. Betriebsstättenvorbehalten ein einheitlicher veranlassungsbasierter Abgrenzungsmaßstab zugrunde liegt, der an das spezifisch abkommensrechtliche Verständnis der Unternehmenstätigkeit anknüpft. Nach kommentarähnlicher Darstellung und Diskussion der Änderungen durch den Authorized OECD Approach (AOA) wird gezeigt, dass auch der dem AOA zugrunde liegende Abgrenzungsmaßstab veranlassungsbasiert ist, wenngleich es aufgrund der abweichenden Anknüpfung an Personalfunktionen im Einzelfall zu unterschiedlichen Zuordnungsergebnissen kommen kann. Zugleich werden Vorschläge für einzelne gesetzgeberische Nachbesserungen der Umsetzungsvorschrift des § 1 Abs. 5 AStG gemacht.
