Exchange Rate Dynamics: An Open Economy Macroeconomics Perspective (Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking)

Book Description

Are exchange rates determined by economic fundamentals or are they a prey to random speculative forces? Some economists assert that economic theory has so far performed poorly in explaining the dramatic increase in exchange rate volatility in the recent floating rate period. This book argues that modern macroeconomics theory does provide guidelines for understanding exchange rate fluctuations.

Since the mid-1990s, there has been an outpouring of research that aims at laying new foundations for open-macroeconomic theory. The so-called "New Open Economy Macroeconomics" (NOEM) approach embeds micro-founded behavior into dynamic general equilibrium models. This provides a rich framework for thinking about exchange rate behavior and lays the groundwork for credible policy evaluation. This book shows how the most recent analytical tools proposed in this literature improve our understanding of exchange rate fluctuations.

With contributions from an international array of thinkers, this impressive book shall interest both students and researchers involved with Macroeconomics, Money and Banking as well as all those interested in International Finance, including financial institutions.

Book Description

Although it is agreed that the dual development of monetary integration and territorial enlargement are likely to generate profound effects on European spatial structure, in both West and East, much uncertainty centres around the question of what changes will be brought about. This book furthers our economic understanding of the opportunities and challenges offered by these developments. The emphasis is primarily on the economic agenda associated with European integration. Part A reviews the debate on European monetary unification. Economic integration raises many issues, one which is dealt in depth is the issue of convergence versus divergence. Part B centres around the dynamics of cohesion in the EU and the associated regional policies, reflecting on experience from the past and challenges for the future. Part C sheds some light on the complexities of transition and integration of Central and Eastern European countries, the second major challenge being faced by the EU at the turn of the century.

Book Description

Structural change, economic growth and adequate exchange rate adjustment are key challenges in the context of EU eastern enlargement as are consistent macroeconomic policies. The authors focus on sectoral adjustment across industries in catching-up countries and explain changes in the composition of output – this includes new aspects of the Chenery model. They describe and analyze the spatial pattern of specialization and adjustment in many countries. Theoretical and empirical analysis of foreign direct investment, innovation and structural change shed new light on economic dynamics in Old Europe and New Europe. As regards exchange rate dynamics both traditional aspects (such as the Balassa-Samuelson effect) and new approaches to understanding exchange rate developments are presented. Links between exchange rate changes and innovation are particularly emphasized.

Book Description

We are living in a .com world. The old rules are changing, but it is not yet clear what the new rules are. Everything is in flux, and the speed and complexity of the changes are difficult for many of us to absorb. Futurists, historians, and social scientists tell us the transition to a networked economy is the biggest shift in the way the world functions since the Industrial Revolution. The people working today are the bridge generation, spanning the gap between the old and new ways of doing business.

The business and professional world is working feverishly to learn how to change its business strategies to capitalize on this .com world. A great deal of attention is directed at the external business issues of designing, marketing, selling, and delivering goods and services in the networked environment. But the internal infrastructure and culture changes that are needed to deliver on those new business strategies have received very little attention so far.

Culture.com tackles the question of how to create a corporate culture that matches the new .com business strategy. It explains how a company’ s internal culture must adapt to complement, support, and be properly aligned with the organization’s external business strategy. And it shows how failure to adapt can undermine, or even destroy, a company’s ability to carry out its objectives.

Culture.com is a highly practical guide to the pressing corporate culture issues that face every e-business, from .com start-ups to traditional organizations making the transition into the clicks-and-mortar world.

Explains the 9 key characteristics of a .com culture that are vital for all organizations.
Offers practical tips and strategies to ensure that your corporate culture can be a competitive advantage, rather than a liability, in the .com world.
Provides hands-on advice on changing your corporate culture to reflect the new realities of e-business: debugging on the fly, rapid risk taking and decision making, developing a culture of collaboration, building corporate culture in virtual organizations, and much more.
Shows how to break old organizational habits that no longer fit in the world of e-business, and how to learn now ways to think, believe, and behave.
Features examples and interviews from a wide range of companies, government settings, and not-for-profits.

A good read.......2006-01-27

With the government, corporations and non-profits racing to transform themselves into e-business enterprises, it isn't a surprise that most corporate cultures do not align with the demands of the new economy. How do you build and change a corporate culture? This book is designed to help a company transform its culture.

The book outlines the corporate challenges that are presented when changing culture. Training is a key element to this change. The combined brainpower of a company is the company's corporate IQ. The corporate IQ as a whole number is greater than the sum of its parts. The book sees the days of "hauling everyone into a classroom for training" as gone. Companies are using corporate universities, e-learning, mentors, on-the-job training, mobile learning stations, and online universities to train their employees. This change in training is critical to change the corporate IQ.
To master this change a corporation must:
· Know what it knows and where the knowledge is
· Know how to use the information to make decisions
· Know what the current decision-making processes are
· Identify the direction of the organization and how that relates to its mission, goals and strategies
· Recognize in which networks the business operates and how to use them effectively.

A Good Read!.......2002-09-11

Culture.com is at its best when it describes the effect that the Internet revolution is having on the corporate cultures of modern business. Of special merit are the book's lists of suggestions that managers and human resource executives can follow in attempting to develop a new culture that adequately addresses the changes and strains brought on by the rise of the virtual revolution. Also intriguing is the book's analysis of the dangerous transition period in which companies shift from old cultures to dot-com cultures. While the book is less effective in its look at the more general trends of technology, business and leadership, we from getAbstract nevertheless recommend it for its innovative take on virtual corporate culture.

Culture Com the way to go.......2001-03-01

I read this book and enjoyed it, even though business is a fright word for me. I hate business, but this crew made our current computer based business sound liveable. Anyone who hopes to succeed in today's world, whether as a lone wolf or an administrative manager, needs to read this volume. It is easily understood, clear and to the point, and offers a lot of worthwhile ideas. Workers arise. Buy this book and move forward.

Your Corporate Culture Must Be a Connected Workplace.......2000-11-26

The authors explain how to build a corporate culture in the connected
workplace. Your organization already has a culture which is, at least
to some extent, connected. First question: "How appropriate is that
culture to the needs, interests, problems, and opportunities it also
has?" Next question: "Will it be sufficiently flexible and
resilient to sustain itself as change continues to be the only
constant?" The authors can help you to find the correct answers
to these basic but critically important questions.

In their
Preface, they identify what they call "Nine Challenges for Turning
Your Corporate Culture into a .Com Asset":

1. Making the jump to
warp speed

2. Building a corporate culture in a virtual
organization

3. Living with parallel cultures during the transition
of e-business

4. A new breed of terms in a .com
culture

5. Communication belongs to everyone in a .com
culture

6. Knowledge management is managing people's brain
power

7. The new corporate IQ and getting smart

8. Linkages and
relationships outside the organization: a culture
challenge

9. Leading the journey to the wired
enterprise.

Throughout their book, the authors include relevant
quotations real-world examples rom a wide variety of sources as well
as a number of Tips which will assist the implementation of relevant
strategies. At the end of each chapter, they provide terrific
suggestions re Applying This Information in Your Organization. They
also make generous use of various graphics (eg Three Layers of
Culture)) for purposes of illustration. Then in the books Conclusion,,
they provide Ten Final Tips on Building a Corporate Culture for the
Connected Workplace which increase and enrich even more their
fulfillment of what the books subtitle promises.

(By the way, have
you also noticed how many subtitles of other business books make
extravagant promises which even a combination of Elizabeth I,
Michaelangelo, Merlin, Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, Thomas Edison,
and Peter Drucker couldn't possibly keep?)

The authors conclude
with some key points: "Corporate cultures will continue to change
as companies race to implement their e-business strategies. We remind
you once more that the two must work in synch. If your business
strategy and your corporate culture are pulling in two different
directions, the culture will win no matter how brilliant your strategy
is." I now presume to conclude this brief review with a few
suggestions of my own to decision-makers in any organization now in
need of building its own corporate culture in the connected
workplace. First, read and then re-read this book. Then have other
decision-makers in the organization also read and re-read it. Finally,
have everyone participate in a 2-3 workshop (emphasis on
"work"), preferably offsite, and use this book's table of
contents for the workshop's agenda. The primary objective is to
collaborate on an appropriate "game plan", to be completed by
the workshop's conclusion, which the organization then
implements. When problems occur (and they will), reconvene the
workshop participants and collaborate on an appropriate response. Be
sure to keep in mind what the authors of this book have correctly
observed: "If your business strategy and your corporate culture are
pulling in two different directions, the culture will win no matter
how brilliant your strategy is."

This is a top-notch business book.......2000-10-17

Bender et al provides the best, most concise and comprehensive analysis and knowledge to succeed in today's e-Economy. A must read for all!

Book Description

Demand-driven development goes hand in hand with an increase in the number of agents involved in information exchange and decision-making. This book documents an experience in the state of Rajasthan in India which brought together NGOs, government departments, research organisations and farmers’ groups. It details and analyzes the context, emergence and performance of this coalition, and draws out generic principles which could be of use to programme designers anywhere.

A mix of theory and application, this book will be of interest to students of development studies, as also to those in the fields of sociology, economics, agricultural economics, rural management, extension services, NGOs, funding and international donor agencies.

Book Description

The world-famous psychiatrist and pioneer of the unconscious, Carl Gustav Jung, never produced a systematic treatment of his own work - he was always moving forward. And so it became the life-task of his assistant-of-many-decades, Carl Alfred Meier, to gather and present in detail the various aspects of his far-reaching discoveries. This final volume of Meier's work addresses the human personality in its encounters between consciousness and the unconscious, a process referred to as individuation. In describing such encounters, the author extensively explains the idea of Jung's psychological types.
