Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource While digitization is far from a new concept, many assume that simply introducing automation and information systems in various forms will be enough to make their organization's operations more efficient. This misconception can often lead to disarray and costly mistakes. Digital Transformation: Understanding Business Goals, Risks, Processes, and Decisions shows how to avoid such issues via careful consideration of what an enterprise really needs. Unlike many other books on digital transformation, the authors do not dwell on database design or the details of implementing information systems. Instead, they emphasize the importance of a clear understanding of all aspects of an organization in order to effectively implement and manage digital systems, from business goals and strategies to structuring information and making decisions, risk assessments, project management, organizing, and procuring services and products. Organized in eleven chapters and drawing on examples from all over the world, this book will be of interest to university students of business administration, management, information systems, and computer science, as well as practitioners seeking to better understand how to handle digital transformation in their own organizations. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c3bbc55218b38887a0f821f3078296af.pdf 9f55534cb19ff7a1aea75593353abc47 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Description An account of the resource Microeconomics has been transformed in recent decades by the increasing use of game theory, behavioral economics, evolutionary modeling, network economics, mechanism design, and attention to limited competition and asymmetric information. Bowles and Chen provide problem sets and exam questions (with carefully explained solutions) based on the new microeconomics, engaging learners with applications to income distribution, limited competition in goods and labor markets, climate change, and other public policy topics. Background notes explain the underlying concepts, their origin in the thinking of the great economists of the past, applications to macroeconomics, and relevant empirical evidence. This work provides a problem-based and policy-oriented approach to teaching microeconomics, development, labor, environment, public economics, and topics in business, management, and public policy to upper-level undergraduates, masters, and doctoral students. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ab4a7621ec4c1e73f76ae67a23b35a67.pdf 101e1ab3acb71991b96f24e341097497 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Research workers engaged in scientific pursuits bring out new ideas and information continually on various aspects of science. However, such research results, if not made available to the widest possible audience within a reasonable time, are worthless. New research is often based on the work of others. One may start where another scientist stopped. Research workers, therefore, after the completion of research projects, must compile the results and publish them in scientific journals with possible interpretations and clear conclusions. Only then can one say that the research project is completed. Apart from research papers, there are some other established means of research reporting. These include theses, dissertations, conference proceedings, electronic publications, progress reports, and completion reports. For obtaining a Ph.D., M.Phil., or master's degree in professional subjects such as agriculture, medicine, and engineering, one has to submit a thesis or dissertation—another form of research report. As a scientist or science student, you are expected to write essays, articles, and reports effectively. The objective of scientific writing is to accurately and clearly communicate with students, scientists, funding agencies, and lay people. https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/fd646b732eaa5c89c5ccbd740dea3ece.pdf 884e3855e039ae71f1c0f0c9323d211a Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Yet there has been, up to now, a wide gulf between the level at which macroeconomics is taught at the undergraduate level and the level at which it is practiced. At the same time, doctoral-level textbooks are usually not targeted at a policy audience, making advanced macroeconomics less accessible to current and aspiring practitioners. This book, born out of the master's course the authors taught for many years at the Harvard Kennedy School, fills this gap. It introduces the tools of dynamic optimization in the context of economic growth and then applies them to a wide range of policy questions—ranging from pensions, consumption, investment, and finance to the most recent developments in fiscal and monetary policy. It does so with the requisite rigor but also with a light touch and an unyielding focus on their application to policy-making, as befits the authors’ own practical experience. Advanced Macroeconomics: An Easy Guide is bound to become a great resource for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and practitioners alike.
