Human Behavior & the Corporate Social Responsibility of Firm Leaders - Mikko H Manner - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Human Behavior & the Corporate Social Responsibility of Firm Leaders - Mikko H Manner - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Economic analysis typically attributes differences in corporate social responsibility (CSR) between firms to either, 1) differences in beliefs concerning what companies should do, or 2) differences in the ''objective'' situations faced by firms. Whether firm leaders should take a ''morally neutral'' / instrumental view of stakeholders, or take an intrinsic view of stakeholders guided by a ''moral compass'', is generally viewed as an exclusively normative issue. Given the assumptions concerning individual and firm behaviour from traditional economic theory, the instrumental and morally neutral perspective wins unequivocally leaving situational characteristics such as firm size, industry dynamics, and the ability to differentiate products as the only causes for the observed differences in CSR between firms that are explored.

Design, Performance & Scalability of the Distributed Enterprise Systems - Janusz Kowalik - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Design, Performance & Scalability of the Distributed Enterprise Systems - Janusz Kowalik - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Enterprise systems supporting business processes in large companies and organizations, are critical for their business survival, and expensive to build and run. This book describes successful approaches to designing, and tuning for performance, large enterprise systems. In contrast to earlier mainframes, the modern distributed systems contain large numbers of components and simple capacity planning methods, applicable to mainframes, cannot be used for design or tuning of complex distributed systems. Methods that have proven to be successful are based on building predictive models that take into account key characteristics of hardware, software, data and communications.

Nonlinear Models in Mathematical Finance - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Nonlinear Models in Mathematical Finance - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book provides an overview on the current state-of-the-art research on non-linear option pricing. Non-linear models are becoming more and more important since they take into account many effects that are not included in the linear model. However, in practice (i.e. in banks) linear models are still used, giving rise to large errors in computing the fair price of options. Hence, there exists a noticeable need for non-linear modelling of financial products. This book will help to foster the usage of non-linear Black-Scholes models in practice.

Marine Mammal Protection Issues - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Marine Mammal Protection Issues - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) developed the Atlantic Large Whale Take Reduction (ALWTR) plan to protect endangered large whales from entanglements in commercial fishing gear, which can cause injury or death. Because whales continued to die after the ALWTF plan went into effect, NMFS proposed revisions in 2005. The author of this book discusses these issues, as well as the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), which requires the NMFS to establish take reductions teams for certain marine mammals to develop measures to reduce their incidental takes. Other bills that specifically address marine mammal regulatory and management issues are examined as well. Furthermore, while some of these issues can be addressed administratively, in regulations proposed and promulgated by the National Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, or the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, others likely would require statutory change. This book lays out the range of issues likely to be raised during reauthorization debate, the reasons behind them, and possible proposals that could be offered to address these concerns. This book consists of public domain documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

North Korean Foreign Relations in the Post-Cold War World - Lyman R Rechter - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

North Korean Foreign Relations in the Post-Cold War World - Lyman R Rechter - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The starting premise of this book is that for all the uniqueness of the regime and its putative political autonomy, post-Kim Il Sung North Korea has been subject to the same external pressures and dynamics that are inherent in an increasingly interdependent and interactive world. The foreign relations that define the place of North Korea in the international community today are the result of the trajectories that Pyongyang has chosen to take -- or was forced to take -- given its national interests and politics. In addition, the choices of the North Korean state are constrained by the international environment in which they interact, given its location at the centre of Northeast Asian geopolitics in which the interests of the Big Four (China, Russia, Japan, and the United States) inevitably compete, clash, mesh, coincide, etc., as those nations pursue their course in the region. North Korea per se is seldom of great importance to any of the Big Four, but its significance is closely tied to and shaped by the overall foreign policy goals of each of the Big Four Plus One (South Korea). Thus North Korea is seen merely as part of the problem or part of the solution for Northeast Asia.

Public Cloud Computing - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Public Cloud Computing - - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cloud computing can and does mean different things to different people. The common characteristics most interpretations share are on-demand scalability of highly available and reliable pooled computing resources, secure access to metered services from nearly anywhere, and displacement of data and services from inside to outside the organisation. While aspects of these characteristics have been realised to a certain extent, cloud computing remains a work in progress. This book provides an overview of the security and privacy challenges pertinent to public cloud computing and points out considerations organisations should take when outsourcing data, applications, and infrastructure to a public cloud environment.

Relationship Paradox - Kendell Thornton - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

This book is an exploration into the dynamics of interpersonal relationships, and how the spiritual quest for union is tempered by the human desire for freedom. Since being in an intimate relationship is not the cause of happiness, a major focus of this book is to help the readers understand the need to take responsibility for their own happiness. Only when people learn to understand their own happiness, regardless of being in a relationship, will they be able to cultivate a successful relationship because they want a relationship, and not because they think they need a relationship to be happy.

Use of Organosilanes in Biosensors - E Souteyrand - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

Use of Organosilanes in Biosensors - E Souteyrand - Bog - Nova Science Publishers Inc - Plusbog.dk

The scope of this book deals with biosensors and microarrays that take advantage of the specific biological recognition between a surface-immobilised "probe" and a biological "target" in solution. In order to preserve the integrity of the biological interaction taking place on a sensor, surface immobilisation of the probe should guarantee the preservation of the probe conformation, orientation and availability. Herein, we will first give a brief definition of biosensors and their requirements. The use of organosilanes as anchoring layers for biomolecules on different materials is then discussed. Finally, the biofunctionalisation of organosilanes and their applications are described.
