    Book Description

    This reference work and graduate level textbook considers a wide range of models and methods for analyzing and forecasting multiple time series. The models covered include vector autoregressive, cointegrated, vector autoregressive moving average, multivariate ARCH and periodic processes as well as dynamic simultaneous equations and state space models. Least squares, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian methods are considered for estimating these models. Different procedures for model selection and model specification are treated and a wide range of tests and criteria for model checking are introduced. Causality analysis, impulse response analysis and innovation accounting are presented as tools for structural analysis.

    The book is accessible to graduate students in business and economics. In addition, multiple time series courses in other fields such as statistics and engineering may be based on it. Applied researchers involved in analyzing multiple time series may benefit from the book as it provides the background and tools for their tasks. It bridges the gap to the difficult technical literature on the topic.

    Book Description

    Dynamic Modeling for Business Management applies dynamic modeling to business management, using accessible modeling techniques that are demonstrated starting with fundamental processes and advancing to more complex business models. Discussions of modeling emphasize its practical use for decision making and implementing change for measurable results. Readers will learn about both manufacturing and service-oriented business processes using hands-on lessons. They will then be able to manipulate additional models to try out their knowledge and address issues specific to their own businesses and interests. All of the models used in the book along with demo versions of ithink® and Berkeley Madonna™ software are included with the book on a CD-ROM. Some of the topics covered include workflow management, supply-chain management, and business strategy.

    3 out of 5 stars Good book but poor choice of modeling software........2007-04-04

    Interesting approach to modeling but it's all dependent on ithink, which is an absolutely old software program with a user interface from the Win 3.1 era. You'll be banging your head against the wall at the archaic nature of the program. Would've been a great program ten+ years ago but today I can't imagine anyone seriously wanting to learn this software. And in all honesty, the financial modeling section is hokey, as the manipulations are much easier done with excel.

    5 out of 5 stars Great Book on Business Systems and Simulation.......2005-07-20

    Dynamic Modeling for Business Management is an excellent reference book for business and industrial engineer students and practitioners. The book provides explanations and examples for adding dynamics to some of the basic business systems and processes. The mathematical models introduced in operations research and management science courses have very restrictive assumptions. Simulation allows exploring more realistic models and enables the reader the appreciation the value of adding more realism of systems by having the capability of more realistic properties and feedback mechanisms. An example is waiting lines. In most real situations, the service rate is affected by the current length of the waiting line. Queuing models ignore this. Using simulation, you can model the results of these interdependencies.

    The authors include Little's Law and serial workflow processes along with material flows, supply chains, repair systems, batching and tradeoffs among quality, speed and costs. This is the dynamic example of the old adage: "You can have it good, fast, cheap; pick two."

    This book serves as an introduction to the simulation language ithink by iseesystems, formally High Performance Systems. The advantage of using this continuous language is in its simplicity, which also makes it both easy to learn and very adaptable. Good for readers that are not familiar with the language. This book is part of the Springer series on Modeling Dynamic Systems.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent text for applies dynamic modeling.......2005-07-18

    This is an excellent textbook for an upper-level undergraduate or graduate course in business simulation modeling. It might also be useful in an engineering course on simulation modeling, especially in more applied areas like industrial engineering.

    I find the book more accessible, if not as complete, than Sterman's text. By adopting a "hand's on" approach and using the i-Think modeling software, I believe students will also find the concepts more accessible. For users of i-Think, this text has some excellent examples of how the software can be used to model specific manufacturing and supply chain business problems. Even if you aren't an i-Think user (it isn't my first choice) you will still find a lot of practical modeling advice. The math is solid, and there is an interesting twist on Little's Law. For those new to stochastic modeling, the section on modeling random variation is priceless. It takes the reader through the most useful modeling distributions and is a wonderful blend of mathematics and applied modeling.

    My only negative comments relate to the meager section on Economic Value Added (which should have been more fully developed and moved into the main body of the text--in my opinion), and the selection of software (no offense to the i-Think users, but I think there are better tools for general business simulation modeling. Though maybe not for dynamic modeling--so I temper my criticism.)

    In short, this is an excellent entry point for the reader who wants a solid introduction to dynamic systems and their specific application to business.

    5 out of 5 stars Good Book and Can Easily Be Put into Practice..........2004-05-25

    I read this after Sterman's 'Business Dynamics'. While 'Business Dynamics' is a graduate level text book, this book is more aligned to the requirements of practitioners like consultants and managers. MDS have a series of books on use of dynamic modeling, each focusing on a specific area like biological systems, economics, health sciences, environmental systems etc.

    5 out of 5 stars A POWERFUL DYNAMIC SYSYTEM SIMULATION TOOL.......2000-04-23

    "The only thing constant in this universe and our lives is change", as explained in an ancient Hindu Scriptures.

    How do we determine the impact of constantly changing parameters around us, and what measures can we take to prepare for those changes?

    Can we manipulate the variables to have a desired outcome?

    Can we prepare for the dire consequences if the variables are beyond our power of manipulations?

    Can we allocate our resources appropriately if we know the consequences of inactions?..........

    And many more questions can be answered by the technique of dynamic system simulation. The book has ample of examples, is very well written, and is easy to follow.

    One's imagination is the only limiting factor in applying the techniques of Dynamo. It could be applied to study farming, ecological balance, impact of wrath or blessings of mother nature such as drought or rain, population shifts, and much more.

    For a serious student of simulation technique, I strongly recommend this book.

      1 out of 5 stars Nothing New.......2000-08-15

      I was extremely disappointed with this book. While there may be some helpful material for someone who has never read about this topic, there is virtually nothing new. There have been many other books in the past 6 or 7 years that cover policies and procedures for companies to implement, the "profile" (which is not mentioned much anymore and is not based on published peer-reviewed research), and the warning signs.

      What this book does not do is tell you is what to do once you have identified an employee whom you believe to be high risk for violence, even though it was written for "counselors, therapists, human resource specialists, and helping professionals."

      The authors seem to advocate that an employee be sent for an "At Risk Assessment" and provide an outline. Unfortunately, the outline that is provided appears to differ little from a standard mental health intake. There is no weapons history and the single question about violence appears inadequate at best. The "At Risk Assessment" does not appear to incorporate any of the latest data which has been emerging from this field or even help to identify if the employee is moving toward or away from violence.

      There is no guidance on how to keep a potentially violent situation from escalating. This book does nothing to provide new information or advance the thinking in the field of threat management. There is much better and more useful material out there.

                            4 out of 5 stars Phenology of Southern Minnesota.......2004-06-11

                            Phenology is the study of when natural events occur in relation to climate. Through his journal entries from the mid 1970's naturalist Jim Gilberts presents the timing of many natural events primarily in Carver County in southern Minnesota. For many notable occurrences (such as the first red-winged blackbird) he presents the dates when he first saw the phenomena for 10-15 years or may compare the timing in northern and southern Minnesota (for example he lists the ice out dates in 20 Minnesota lakes). The entries work best when he is talking about what he has seen directly, and perhaps are a little dryly encyclopedic when he is giving some background information. In January is the excitement of seeing snow fleas and white frost covering every twig. March may be his favorite month and his interest turns to the first ants on the sidewalks and first red-winged blackbirds. He talks both about wild and agricultural occurrences such as the first garden strawberries or alfalfa hay cutting in June. Fall offers colors and hawk migration in Duluth, but frost is nearby. This book is generously illustrated with over a dozen color photographs for each month! This book would be useful for someone starting their own nature journal or wanting to learn more about Minnesota natural occurrences

                                5 out of 5 stars New Edition is Way Better.......2006-01-23

                                I'm a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.

                                Book Description

                                All students of Japanese, whether they have studied physics or not, know the word "particle," and they realize that particles, like English prepositions, require a special effort to master. Thus the high evaluation of the previous edition of this small handbook, which provides all the information students need in a scant 128 pages, was not surprising. All About Particles covers 69 particles, the most common ones along with the less frequent. The particles are shown to have some 200 usages-sufficient to keep most students hard at work for a good many years. The book can be approached as a textbook and studied religiously from beginning to end. All About Particles shines: light enough to carry around, slim enough to fit into the corner of a shoulder bag, concise enough to take one quickly to the crux of the matter, it combines the best of several worlds and is priced to be affordable. No wonder, then, that wherever students of Japanese congregate, there is bound to be a copy of All About Particles around. By the author of A Dictionary of Basic Japanese Sentence Patterns and Japanese Verbs at a Glance.

                                5 out of 5 stars Excellent Source to Find Out About Japanese Particles.......2007-05-30

                                Before describing the book, a word or two has to be mentioned regarding the publisher, Kodansha International. I don't know if it's because of the policy within Kodansha, or the Japanese culture in general, but you can feel the tidiness, accuracy, and meticulous nature of each author, and the effort expended in order to convey information to the reader the best possible way.

                                When first starting to learn Japanese on my own, I had tried grammar texts and dictionaries from two other publishers. I found out after a couple of months, that they only cause the reader great confusion, lack a lot of important concepts, the print is often ineligible, and the sentences are in Romaji and not in the native alphabet (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji), which is so necessary in order to learn the language properly. Other Kodansha publications which I found useful for learning Japanese are Kodanshas Essential Kanji Dictionary (Japanese for Busy People)The Kodansha Kanji Learners Dictionary (Japanese for Busy People)Kodansha's Furigana Japanese Dictionary: Japanese-English English-JapaneseJapanese Verbs at a Glance (Power Japanese Series) (Kodansha's Children's Classics)The Handbook of Japanese Adjectives and Adverbs (Kodansha's Children's Classics)

                                The material is divided into groups of particles. The most common particles are presented first. The description for each particle is divided into sections. Each section discusses a different meaning and use of the particle. The particle "de" for example, means "a place where an action takes place", "the means by which the action is performed", as well as "the reason of the action". Each section includes a heading, which describes the particular meaning associated with the particle, and then follows with three sentences each in Japanese, Romaji, and English, where this particle is used. Where appropriate, a cross reference is given, regarding the use of different particles for the same situation. For example, "ni" indicates the location of a short term action, whereas "de" indicates the location of a long term action. The particles in each Japanese and English sentence are highlighted in bold, making it easier for the reader to pinpoint it. The index is in English. Sometimes the English translation isn't the way it is spoken in the US, but I don't see it as a major drawback.

                                In short, I recommend it for every English speaking Japanese student learning on his or her own, or even as supplementary material at college.

                                5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Work!.......2007-03-12

                                This book was indespensable in my study of Japanese. The 69 different particles are all explained and used in examples. This makes an excellent supplement for study in a class and it is even good for independent students as well. There is another book by the same author called "How to tell the Difference Between Japanese Particles." It is every bit as good as this book, but its format is different. In this book, the particles are simply explained one by one. In "How to tell the Difference," the particles are grouped according to their function, in categories like "expressions of time" and so on. Either book would be excellent, but have a look at that one before choosing, so you can study with the format best for you. I personally like this one, because I look up unfamiliar particles more than I simply study them.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great for any student........2007-03-05

                                This book is wonderful. With how complicated the Japanese language is, this book has made it a bit easier dealing with all the particles and how they are used.

                                I am in first level Japanese and I love this book. I even bring it with me to class for reference and it has helped me greatly.

                                5 out of 5 stars Very Good Reference.......2006-08-17

                                The only flaw that I could find from this book was that it had no excersices for one to practice but overall the book was great. Good explanation and contrast between particle function and usage.

                                5 out of 5 stars Great learning book.......2005-03-11

                                This is a very good book for beginners, but you still have to sit down and practice the basics with it... it's very good.

                                Denny's role as fourth-string quarterback for nationally ranked Sutton State is a perfect training spot for a future coach, and that suits him just fine. But when the Cowboys' star passer draws a one-week suspension and both regular backups fall to injuries, Denny gets a chance he never dreamed of. A chance to be a hero. Or a disaster.

                                A Review by Zach

                                Quarterback Walk-on is about a kid named Denny who is a senior football player in college. He is a senior and has never played one down in his college career because he is so small. Originally he wanted to be a quarterback but he is so small so he can't. He gets a chance of lifetime in the middle of the football season that he never thought he would get.

                                There were a few things that I liked about this book. The main thing that I liked about this book was that it was a very exciting and interesting book. I think I enjoyed it because it is about sports and I am a huge sports fan. Another thing that I liked about the book was that there was always something going on in the book so it was never boring. The third thing that I liked about the book was that there was a lot of suspense. You didn't know what was going to happen to the starting quarterback when he got in trouble, I didn't expect that the two backup quarterbacks would also get hurt which meant that Denny was going to get to play quarterback. When Denny got to be the starting quarterback you didn't know if he would do good or bad.

                                If you are a person who likes football you should really consider reading this book. It is a good book and fun to read. It always has something interesting going on in it.

                                2 out of 5 stars Just For A Report.......2001-12-13

                                For this book I thought it took way to long leading up to the actual game. I thought it wasn't the worst book and it is great to read for a book report. If you do read this book you should know something about football beacause that is wht the author expects. Overal this book has a low rating because of the boring ideas.

                                3 out of 5 stars Quarterback Walk-on.......2000-09-20

                                This book wasn't as good as some other books I've read by Mr. Dygard, but it wasn't a bad one either. I'm sure this has happened in real life to many teams, where they lose their number one and have to go to a less than sufficient back up. The ways for the team to overcome this little setback were well thought up by Dygard. Even though the action that was being described in the book wasn't as good as in his other books, he still finds a way to make the reader see what is going on and make them feel like they are there. The character of Danny Westbrook in this book will make you believe that football is not just a game of toughness and brawn, but also is a game of thinking and relys on knowledge just as much as strength.

                                3 out of 5 stars It was good but alittle weird towards the middle........1999-10-28

                                I thought that the book wasn't quite what I was expecting but it was good enough for me. I rated this book a 3 because I feel it could have given you more discription of the coach and what he was like, was he mean or was he nice, was he hard and nice, or was hard and mean? Those things would make the book more interesting.

                                4 out of 5 stars intriguing character study .......2006-04-14

                                Thirty years old NFL superstar quarterback Jim Wellman was severely injured in the Pro Bowl shattering his legs. Eight months later, he remains wheelchair bound and beginning therapy at the Shady Glen Rehabilitation Center in Napa Valley under the tutelage of physical therapist Marti Solis. He turns on the charm, but she hides her attraction by bullying him out of the chair, which she believes he remained in way too long. Dr. Francis Murdoch agrees with Marti's assessment.

                                As they work on his rehabilitation, they become friends that soon blossoms into love. However, he is shattered that he will never play football again due to the negligence of his medical caretakers at the Sunset Community Hospital, who he sues. While his attorney tells him to stay away from Marti as she is a key witness in his case, he cannot as the suit means nothing if he loses the woman who has sacked his heart, but given him a reason to live.

                                WALK LIKE A MAN is an intriguing character study with a romantic subplot that enhances the relationship between therapist and client. Jim is the interesting character as he feels he has nothing now that he no longer has football until the feisty Marti makes him want to walk as much for her as for him. Sue Swift provides a fine drama starring a fallen sports hero whose mental anguish may prove greater than his physical problems.
