Great for Non-Accountants.......2006-10-19
I found the book to be attractively put together and full of examples. They address both manufacturing and non-manufacturing environments - including service industries. Managerial Accounting is a vital tool for businesses as it provides techniques for making better business decisions based on data instead of "hunches". Nonetheless, the material can be difficult to get through. The authors understand this and use real-life examples to help give insight as to the way businesses use these analysis techniques. Because the material can be challenging, I can understand some people finding the material boring. However, given the type of material, I feel the authors have done a commendable job in communicating the material in an appealing way.
Boring read for good subject.......2002-04-17
Reading through this book is a BORE! :( Examples are almost non-existant, there's like nothing (like definitions) on the sides of the pages, and no glossary. How poorly written! Please find an alternative to learn this rather interesting subject. Thank you!
-Upset reader of this school book
Disappointing.......2001-05-01
Having previously read "Fundamental Financial Accounting Concepts" by the same people, this book was a disappointment. It came off as incredibly dry, and was not all that clear in its presentation of the concepts. The "Fundamental Financial Accounting" volume is great, but I'd recommend another author for the managerial book.

Product Description
The popularity of Supply Chain Management in theory and practice is still increasing. This book provides a unique overview of current research trends and practices in the field from European scholars.
Departing at selected theoretical inquiries on prominent concepts and methodologies in the supply chain field (e.g. theoretical foundations, 4PL concept, configurational approaches), the contributions in this volume cover highly relevant topics along a generic supply chain - upstream activities relating to modularisation, the development of logistical capabilities, but also order-picking optimization in warehouses, distribution network design heuristics and issues of urban freight transportation operations are among the topics treated.
The methodologies employed intendedly reflect the variety of long-standing European research traditions and range from state-of-the art quantitative modelling to intriguing theoretical advances. The book is aimed at scholars and senior students interested in the SCM field as well as at the interested practitioner.

Description:
This paper examines the beneficial impact of information sharing in multi-echelon supply chains. We compare a traditional supply chain, in which only the first stage in the chain observes end consumer demand and upstream stages have to base their forecasts on incoming orders, with an information enriched supply chain where customer demand data (e.g. EPOS data) is shared throughout the chain. Two types of replenishment rules are analysed: order-up-to (OUT) policies and smoothing policies (policies used to reduce or dampen variability in the demand). For the class of OUT policies, we will show that information sharing helps to reduce the bullwhip effect (variance amplification of ordering quantities in supply chains) significantly, especially at higher levels in the chain. However, the bullwhip problem is not completely eliminated and it still increases as one moves up the chain. For the smoothing policies, we show that information sharing is necessary to reduce order variance at higher levels of the chain. The methodology is based on control systems engineering and allows us to gain valuable insights into the dynamic behaviour of supply chain replenishment rules. We also introduce a control engineering based measure to quantify the variance amplification (bullwhip) or variance reduction.

Book Description
The present book outlines a conceptual framework for modelling and forecasting the dynamics of both growth-limited cities and megacities bringing together experts from several disciplines. The interdisciplinary point of view is particularly stressed. The contributions presented reflect the various interdependencies between structural (physics and mathematics models) and social development (spatial decision making and urban planning models). The volume emphasizes not only the contributions from different disciplines but also pays attention to specific problems like model calibration, data availability and management, case studies and interactions with urban planners. It is the collection of all the contributions of the speakers at the international workshop "The Dynamics of Complex Urban Systems: an interdisciplinary approach" held at Monte Verità (Ascona/Switzerland) from 4th to 6th of November 2004.

"ingenuity and subtlety . . . unity, order and harmony".......2005-11-29
Noble physics laureate Abdus Salam calls this book "heady stuff" and says, "Davies has established himself as one of the most felicitous writers on physics at the frontier."
Over the years I've become something of a Paul Davies connoisseur, having read many of his books. Among noted scientists writing popularizations, Davies is the reigning gold-standard. This is the best of his early works. When it was published in 1984, Davies had achieved some acclaim for his previous book 'God and the New Physics' but 'Superforce' is a far superior work (GatNP was perhaps his worst book). Superforce is not only one of Davies best books, in some ways it's one of the best physics popularizations ever published. Although the thesis is the deepest [expected] 'law' of nature (the superforce, supersymmetry, unified field, ToE, GUT, call it what you will) the first three chapters are as concise an explanation of quantum theory as a novice could hope for. If you don't get a glimpse of the "weird" quantum world from the first 50 pages, you probably never will ("The apparently concrete matter of experience dissolves away into vibrating patterns of quantum energy"). Perhaps the most significant consequence of the quantum theory is the insight that mind is a fundamental component of our world, not, as some had expected, a secondary phenomenon arising from mere mechanism. And Davies' exposition has just begun.
With the groundwork established, Davies begins toward the heart of the matter in chapter four, exposing mathematical and gauge symmetries and the fascinating role of aesthetics, i.e., beauty, in nature (and thus in theoretical physics). Treated next are; the four supposedly fundamental forces, the particle "zoo" including messenger particles, QED, and the not-so-empty vacuum populated with "temporary particles whose visit is financed by the Heisenberg loan." And then a return to symmetry -- and hidden symmetries and symmetry breaking. Moving forward systematically, the going gets tougher. With electricity, magnetism, and the weak nuclear force mathematically combined, the next force to be included in the expected 'superforce' is the strong (glue) force, and this presents several problems, to put it mildly. Davies discusses the challenge of developing gauge field theories for quarks and gluons and how it has been met by QCD (quantum chromodynamics). With the expectation of a GUT now explained, what remains is to look at the contending variations (to explore the precise fit of QCD in a GUT by way of direct experiment, "we should have to build an accelerator larger than the solar system", to experimentally establish a GUT complete with gravitation, we would have to construct an accelerator larger than our galaxy!). Obviously mathematics is now the only tool available.
Having already explained how the quantum theory has dispelled prospects for a strict reductionism wholly succeeding, Davies now develops the argument (chapters 9 - 12) that a single physical theory will eventually explain, yes -- everything (sort of). If this apparent turnabout has your head spinning, well, Davies isn't finished. He goes on finally to explain that such a theory of "everything," astounding and useful as it may be, has little, if any, hope of actually being an explanation of everything (chap 14). Like Stephen Hawking and perhaps most theoretical physicists in 1984, Davies anticipated a more or less completed Grand Unification Theory within a few years.
When Davies wrote this book it was cutting edge stuff, reporting and analyzing very recent developments. Of course, a few things are now a bit dated: Davies (in 1984) expected that the universe was 18 billion years old, while something like 12 to 13 billion is now thought. And at one point he says that 'evidence' indicates "Earth is a typical planet." This was a particularly popular view 20 years ago, but today I think Davies view is rather different, amenable to better and more recent data (see, for example, the books 'Rare Earth' and 'The Privileged Planet'). But most of the science here is still accurate (and "literally boggles the mind"). The discussion of the relationship of thermodynamics to the 'rolled up' dimensions of string theory in the context of the early universe is excellent.
In the concluding chapter, Davies asks if there is a 'cosmic plan' and if so what is then implicit. "The new physics and the new cosmology hold out a tantalizing promise; that we might be able to explain how all the physical structures in the universe have come to exist . . . as a result of natural processes. . . Nevertheless, though science may explain the world, we still have to explain science. The laws which enable the universe . . . seem themselves to be the product of exceedingly ingenious design. If physics is the product of design, the universe must have a purpose, and the evidence of modern physics suggests strongly to me that the purpose includes us." All in all, this is one of Davies' best books. Five solid stars, even if a final GUT is not as closely anticipated as it was in the 80's, even if not quite perfect, and even after 20+ years.

fabulous populariser of physics.......2004-09-05
This is an astonishingly lucid and consistently fascinating look at the scientific search for the single force that is purported to unite all the forces of nature - the reader gets a review of the known forces as well as the new ideas emerging from chaos and complexity theories. Davies is one of the great popularisers who NEVER indulges in hype or wild speculation, but instead sticks to the science. While his books may seem austere, they are clearer and more precise than a myriad of other science writers, who puff up meagre results with pseudo-science.
Warmly recommended.
