Catch-Up and Competitiveness in China: The Case of Large Firms in the Oil Industry (Routledge-Curzon Studies on the Chinese Economy, 8)
Jin Zhang Manufacturer: RoutledgeCurzon ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415333210 |
Book Description
This book examines the role of corporate structure, including the role of corporate headquarters, in the success of large firms. It considers these issues in relation to large global corporations, thereby providing a 'benchmark', which is then used as a contrast in a discussion of corporate structure and the role of corporate headquarters within large Chinese firms, many of which have evolved from former government ministries. It includes a detailed case study of firms in the crucially important oil and petro-chemical sector. Overall the book shows what a hugely competitive battle China's emerging 'national champions' face with their global competitors, and puts forward policy implications for both large Chinese firms and the Chinese government concerning how business systems should be reformed further still in order to construct globally competitive large industrial corporations.

Economic Policy in a Liberal Democracy (Shaftesbury Papers, Vol 8)
Richard E. Wagner Manufacturer: Edward Elgar Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1858984017 |
Book Description
In Economic Policy in a Liberal Democracy, Richard E. Wagner offers an approach to welfare economics and economic policy appropriate for a classically liberal society.Professor Wagner explains how welfare economics has been unable to fulfil the aspirations of its advocates because it assumes that the consequences of policy measures are sufficiently knowable to achieve specific and intended outcomes. The standard vision of the corrective state, where the state intervenes to repair economic failures and to achieve beneficial consequences, is revealed to be incoherent because the state lacks the competence to influence economic outcomes.
Once the full complexity of the economy is recognized, policy measures are shown to generate a plethora of unintended consequences. What emerges instead is a focus on policy for creating and maintaining a constitutional framework that maintains and supports the liberal order in which people organize their activities.

Foreign Direct Investment, Democracy and Development: Assessing Contours, Correlates and Concomitants of Globalization (Routledge Advances Ininternational Political Economy, 8)
Indra de Soysa Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415250544 |
Book Description
Why should democracy and foreign capital be studied as important determinants of the future of global integration? This is just one of the questions discussed by this book. The author addresses the crucial issue of global integration and economic growth and development by focusing on two of the most salient integrative forces in the globalization process: in the economic sphere, trade and direct investment are driving economic integration; in the political sphere, an unprecedented number of states have yielded to the 'Third Wave' of democritization. The effects of these forces are analyzed and their implications are discussed, as the author presents a systematic analysis of the various propositions on both sides of the globalization debate.

Visual Astronomy Under Dark Skies: A New Approach to Observing Deep Space
Antony Cooke Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1852339012 |
Book Description
Modern astronomical telescopes, along with other advances in technology, have brought the deep sky – star clusters, nebulae and the galaxies – within reach of amateur astronomers. And it isn’t even necessary to image many of these deep-sky objects in order to see them; they are within reach of visual observers using modern techniques and enhancement technology. The first requirement is truly dark skies; if you are observing from a light-polluted environment you need Tony Cooke’s book, Visual Astronomy in the Suburbs. Given a site with clear, dark night skies everything else follows… this book will provide the reader with everything he needs to know about what to observe, and using some of today’s state-of-the-art technique and commercial equipment, how to get superb views of faint and distant astronomical objects.
