PROCUREMENT AND FINANCING OF MOTORWAYS IN EUROPE

This book is a selection of papers presented to the international conference ‘‘Highways: Costs and Regulation in Europe’’, held in Bergamo on the 26–27 November 2004. The Conference was organised by the University of Bergamo, and sponsored by the European Investment Bank. We found that there are so many challenging and controversial issues with motorway finance in Europe that it …

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…

CRASH COURSE IN ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS

Our trainees come f…

INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING

Organisations are devices for creating value through the effective use of resources.

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…

When we think about the future of the modern state, we encounter a puzzling variety of scholarly diagnoses and prophecies. Some authors predict nothing less than the total demise of the state as a useful model for organizing society – its powers eroded by a dynamic global economy and by an increasing transference of political decision-making powers to supranational bodies. Others disagree p…
