In response to demands and opportunities of the labor market, contemporary employers and employees voluntarily are entering into highly customized agreements regarding nonstandard employment terms.

Project Management and Leadership Skills for Engineering and Construction Pro…

If one word could describe the essence of project management it is responsibility. The project manager (PM) is responsible for all that happens on a project. This doesn’t mean the project manager should or could do everything associated with the project; it does mean the PM owns ultimate responsibility for the project, regardless of who is on the project team and regardless of the obstacles…

Is War Necessary for Economic Growth?

It is difficult to overemphasize the importance of the historical role that military procurement has played in the process of technology development. Knowledge acquired in making weapons was an important source of the industrial revolution. To bore the condenser cylinders for his steam engines, “Watt had to turn to John Wilkinson, a cannon-borer, who had invented the one machine in all En…

Public Procurement, Innovation and Policy

The recent decade has witnessed a growing interest in using public procurement to spur innovation and development. An increasing number of governments are claiming that public procurement—often worth of 10–30 % of a country’s GDP as exemplified by European Union member countries (EC 2011b)—should be used more extensively and explicitly to promote innovation, technology, and economic…

UNDERSTANDING SMART PROCUREMENT IN THE MINISTRY OF DEFENCE

In these Briefings,I noted the change in the UK’s position and role in world affairs from the 1960s to the 1990s.

PROJECT PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT

This is a new book on Project Procurement Management ...well sort of. A decade ago my son and I wrote a book on this same subject which was entitled Subcontract Project Management: Subcontract Planning and Organization. Our book covered the subject of Project Procurement management, but it was targeted specifically to the aerospace and defense industry.

Procurement 20/20

Does my procurement organization already employ best-in-class practices, sophisticated tools with the right talent, and the necessary formal and informal cross-functional linkages? Some 50 to 90 percent of the companies that answer this question will respond “no.” On the one hand, this realization is a good indication of readiness for change and the acceptance that development is neede…

This is a crash course, born out of years of our experience training students and professionals who need to learn accounting quickly in order to understand financial reports, perform financial analysis, and speak the language of business. Our trainees come f…

INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Organisations are devices for creating value through the effective use of resources. While they need to create value for all contributors of resources, a premium is placed on value creation for customers and shareholders. After all, an organisation is unlikely to be able to offer inducements to other resource contributors if it does not provide value to its customers. Also, shareholders are awa…

In 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) acknowledged the need to further explore the relationship between health and the economy by setting up the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (CMH).

THE SIMPLIFIED GUIDE TO NOT-FOR-PROFIT ACCOUNTING, FORMATION & REPORTING

There are very few studies showing the exact number of not-for-profit (NFP) organizations in existence in the United States. The reason for this is the enormous diversity in legal structure, type of activities performed, and level of tax exemption and reporting that NFP organizations encompass. The few studies that have been performed show the number of NFP organizations has grown almost expone…

Exchange Rates and International Finance

When the first edition of this book was published, nearly fifteen years ago, I began my preface by noting the growing importance of exchange rates in a world of increas- ing globalisation. A lot has happened to change the world’s financial landscape in that decade and a half. Perhaps the most notable events have been the establishment of the European Monetary Union, and the dramatic changes i…
