The Creation And Destruction of Social Capital: Entrepreneurship, Co-operative Movements And Institutions

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `A welcome contribution to scholarly economic and public policy debates, The Creation and Destruction of Social Capital is written for advanced students yet offers insights critical to better understanding micro and macro economics alike.` - Willis M. Buhle, The Midwest Book Review `The Svendsens are urging all social scientists to think more as social scientists rather than just as anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, or sociologists. Their effort to broaden the way social scientists think about social organization is an important step, especially for those of us interested in public policies. . . This is the type of book that should be assigned to graduate students across the social sciences as an illustration of the kind of work that they should aspire to do. I know I have learned a great deal from reading this book and appreciate the effort that the Svendsens have put in to crafting this study.` - From the foreword by Elinor Ostrom Is social… [detailed...]

The Creation and Analysis of Employer-Employee Matched Data

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Hardbound. This book consists of a selected subset of papers presented at the International Symposium of Linked Employer-Employee Data, held in Washington DC, in May 1998 - to address the creation and analysis of such matched data in an environment that safeguards respondent confidentiality. The conference brought together a wide range of social scientists and statisticians from more than 20 countries. Three broad themes are highlighted: (1) The analysis of linked employer-employee data. The basic finding of this and the next section is that the firm matters a good deal in explaining the differences in earnings, productivity, and work experiences of individual workers. Linked data allow the researcher to disentangle the firm effects from the worker effects. (2) Econometric issues involved with the analysis of such data. Creating and analyzing employer-employee matched data sets presents a number of new econometric problems [detailed...]

The Creation: Pictures from the Book of Genesis

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Book of Genesis in the Bible?s Old Testament contains some of western civilization?s best-known stories, whose lasting resonance over the centuries is based on much more than religious fervor. This book presents the work of young Argentine illustrator Christian Montenegro, who has visually updated a selection of these powerful tales including stories of creation, Adam and Eve, Noah?s ark, the Tower of Babel, and Sodom and Gomorrah. While Montenegro?s illustrations and designs have more in common with the emotions of Expressionism and the texture of woodblock prints, their distinctly contemporary feel gives new life to the Biblical texts that appear alongside the images. The book?s original mix of pop visuals with traditional themes highlights the timeless spiritual quality of Genesis by making it accessible for all ages and beliefs. [detailed...]

Description: Why are some organizations more creative than others? What sets innovative, high-performing organizations apart? Can creativity and innovation be learned and enhanced? The answer to the last question, say creativity experts Nancy Napier and Mikael Nilsson, is a resounding yes.

In The Creative Discipline, Napier and Nilsson illustrate six key factors that power creative, high-achieving organizations, and they provide managers with guidelines for incorporating those factors into their own companies.

The Creative Journey: Dare to Discover Who You Really Are

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Writers Note The reason that urged me to write this book from an artists point of view is because I want to share what I have experienced myself. Using this creative painting medium as a cataclist to uncover my true Self is something I wish to share with others. Everything we do as human beings is due to some chronological order, which determines that all experiences, some more than others, are due to age and one`s capability, willingness to perceive things. This has nothing to do with being smarter than others but instead with ones own realisation and the choices one is making. Yet in order to do such things adequately one has to have a least sense of being aware of what his capabilities are so such a person may actually be actively involved by participating and creating his own Self. In order to act sensibly we have to have a certain conscious understanding for our pimary drives, urges and needs that influence all our actions from which all our emotions arise. Now… [detailed...]

The Creative Power of Metaphor

1993 y.
Publisher: University Press of America
Description: This study analyzes the symbiotic relationship between rhetoric and homiletics. The proposed interface between the two disciplines is metaphor. Contemporary research on metaphor in philosophy, rhetoric, sociology, and theology is employed to produce a rhetorical/metaphorical homiletics. This work attempts to return rhetoric to its traditional position as a conversation partner with homiletics. The author argues that a metaphorical, rhetorical approach to preaching is more faithful to the scriptures than the classical dependence on the canons of formal logic. The use of metaphor allows the preacher to choose the imagination over the rational paradigm as he/she creates new worlds of meaning for congregations. [detailed...]

The Credit Scoring Toolkit: Theory and Practice for Retail Credit Risk Management and Decision Automation

2007 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Credit scoring refers to the use of statistical models and computers to make credit decisions. It is a key element of consumer-driven economies, and is familiar to anybody who has had a loan refused by a faceless computer. The practice has evolved and been widely adopted since the early 1960s, allowing a latter-day industrial revolution in the assessment of trust. Despite its impact, there are still less than 15 English-language books on the topic, much less than for wholesale credit, even though lenders` total retail assets are often greater. Now, for the first time, there is a single encyclopedic source of information covering both theory and practice. Eight modules are presented: A) background and history, B) impact on, and application to, businesses, C) stats and maths, D) data, E) development process, F) implementation and use, G) the credit risk management cycle, and H) the regulatory environment. Credit scoring has borrowed from many other disciplines along the way… [detailed...]

The Credit-Anstalt Crisis of 1931 (Studies in Monetary and Financial History)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Austria played a prominent role in the worldwide events of 1931 as the largest bank in Central and Eastern Europe, the Viennese Credit-Anstalt, collapsed and led Europe into a financial panic that spread to other parts of the world. The events in Austriawere pivotal to the economic developments of the 1930s, yet the literature about them is sparse. This book tries to fill this gap. Aurel Schubert analyzes the crisis using the leading theories of financial crises, identifies the causes of the crisis,examines the market`s efficiency in predicting events, analyzes how the crisis was transmitted to the real sector, and studies the behavior of the Austrian as well as international authorities as lenders of last resort. His main conclusion is that even sixty years after the crisis, many of its lessons are still valid. Managerial and regulatory deficiencies led to the collapse of the bank, the subsequent currency crisis was not an irrational and unexplainable panic by a confused public,… [detailed...]
