Industrial Policy Beyond the Crisis

Business & Personal Finance

After years of official disrepute, industrial policy (IP) is back in vogue at regional, national and international levels driven by concerns over competitiveness, globalisation, de-industrialisation, unemployment and the comparatively slow growth of the EU economy especially in this post-recession phase. At the same time, IP has been seen as a catalyst for designing economic recovery strategies at regional, national and international levels, as well as being a concerted strategy to develop new ‘clean-tech’ industries to tackle environmental challenges. If anything, the recent global recession and credit crunch have highlighted the fragility of some states’ and localities’ economic development paths and the unbalanced nature of their economies, in terms of an over-reliance on sectors such as retail, financial services, and construction, to the detriment of manufacturing. This also suggests an accompanying need for greater economic diversity so as to avoid over-dependencies on certain sectors, and a better balance of ownerships forms. But what should be the shape of IP in the wake of the crisis and how can IP rebalance economies, help support sustainable development and catalyse new technologies and innovations whilst learning lessons from past experience and debate? This edited volume examines these questions through a wide range of diverse contributions from expert international authors. This book was originally published as a special issue of Policy Studies.

In-Memory Data Management

Business & Personal Finance

In the last 50 years the world has been completely transformed through the use of IT. We have now reached a new inflection point. Here we present, for the first time, how in-memory computing is changing the way businesses are run. Today, enterprise data is split into separate databases for performance reasons. Analytical data resides in warehouses, synchronized periodically with transactional systems. This separation makes flexible, real-time reporting on current data impossible. Multi-core CPUs, large main memories, cloud computing and powerful mobile devices are serving as the foundation for the transition of enterprises away from this restrictive model. We describe techniques that allow analytical and transactional processing at the speed of thought and enable new ways of doing business. The book is intended for university students, IT-professionals and IT-managers, but also for senior management who wish to create new business processes by leveraging in-memory computing.

This, in turn, has led to more social innovation in sport. Recently, there has been more emphasis on social entrepreneurship in sport due to the growing need to capture its societal impact. This book explores the non-profit role sport plays in society, and demonstrates how social enterprises can both address some of the negative social outcomes of sport and support businesses as they develop their social objectives. The over-arching aim of the book is to focus on how social entrepreneurship in sport is important in developing a better global society.

Margdarshika G.S.T : मार्गदर्शिका वस्तु एवं सेवा कर

Business & Personal Finance

भारत में 1 जुलाई, 2017 से GST लागू हो गया है। जीएसटी (GST), भारत के कर ढांचे में सुधार का एक बहुत बड़ा कदम है। वस्तु एवं सेवा कर (Goods and Service Tax) एक अप्रत्यक्ष कर कानून है, (Indirect Tax) है। जीएसटी एक एकीकृत कर है, जो वस्तुओं और सेवाओं दोनों पर लगेगा। जीएसटी लागू होने से पूरा देश, एकीकृत बाजार में तब्दील हो जाएगा और ज्यादातर अप्रत्यक्ष कर, जैसे-केंद्रीय उत्पाद शुल्क (Excise), सेवा कर (Service Tax), वैट (Vat), मनोरंजन, विलासिता, लॉटरी टैक्स आदि जीएसटी में समाहित हो जाएंगे। इससे पूरे भारत में एक ही प्रकार का अप्रत्यक्ष कर लगेगा। भारत का वर्तमान कर ढांचा (Tax Structure) बहुत ही जटिल है। भारतीय संविधान के अनुसार मुख्य रूप से वस्तुओं की बिक्री पर कर लगाने का अधिकार राज्य सरकार और वस्तुओं के उत्पादन व सेवाओं पर कर लगाने का अधिकार केंद्र सरकार के पास है। इस कारण देश में अलग-अलग प्रकार के कर लागू हैं, जिससे देश की वर्तमान कर व्यवस्था बहुत ही जटिल है। कंपनियों और छोटे व्यवसायों के लिए विभिन्न प्रकार के कर कानूनों का पालन करना मुश्किल होता है।

A landmark work on the twenty-first century's new critical competency, this book is for every manager who wants to learn how to earn and spend the new currency of business.
