This book offers an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the Vietnamese economy, which is the fast-growing economy in Southeast Asia. The country has invested heavily in education, health, and development infrastructure across the country. Progress in recent decades has been strong and Vietnam has attracted significant relocation and outsourcing of production from The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries. In the recent years, much of the foreign direct investment from China has been channeled to Vietnam. The state's development policy has created optimal conditions for further expansion of production, supply chain, education and finances. Investment in education, health, infrastructure, administration and regulations is facilitating investment inflows, technology transfer and spillover to the growing national companies. The educated young population and disciplined labor force have provided a strong basis for the growth of the economy. The high level of productivity, improved quality of products, low and competitive cost of production, and over 100 million people provide a strong base for a continuous economic growth. This edited volume, brings together selected papers presented at The 5th International Conference on Business (ICB 2023), providing good insights into the features of the economy and its development potential. They provide an up-to-date overview and an empirical research-based picture of the recent trends in Vietnam's economic development. The book would be a useful read for educators, undergraduate and graduate students, domestic and foreign investors, government agencies, provincial and industrial sector decision-makers, trade partners, libraries, individual researchers, and professional and practitioners. It helps to fill the gap in knowledge and inform development planners and investors about different sectors of the Vietnamese economy and its development potential.

The object of this paper is to discuss money-making; to examine its prevalence as an aim among people generally and the moral standards which obtain among those who consciously seek to make money. The desire to make money is common to most men. Stronger or weaker, in some degree it is present in the mind of nearly every one. Now, how far does this desire grow to be an aim or object in our lives, and to what extent is such an aim a worthy one?

Guillaume Wunsch, Michel Mouchart, Josianne Duchene This book is an outcome of the activities of the Working Group on Health, Morbidity, and Mortality Differentials of the European Association for Population Studies, which was chaired for some years by one of the present editors (G. Wunsch). In collaboration with the Institute of Statistics and the Institute of Demography of the University of Louvain, this Working Group held a workshop in Louvain-Ia-Neuve a few years ago on the use of life tables in Europe, taking into account problems of data collection, methods, and models. Some of the participants in the workshop were then invited by the present editors to improve, develop, or in some cases thoroughly modify their papers in order to transform them into chapters of a book on life tables. Though life tables are one of the oldest tools in demography, and every textbook on demographic methods deals with the topic of life table construction, few books have dealt with the subject in depth. It is the hope of the editors that the present volume will fulfill to some extent this need. Though primarily written by and for demographers, this book will also be of use to actuaries working in life insurance, and to epidemiologists dealing with morbidity and cause of death. Furthermore, a topic such as competing risks theory should also be of interest to statisticians.

Ethical issues are emerging as the most important managerial challenge in all spheres of organizational life, from the wider issues of strategy-making, finance, technology, marketing, information systems to the subtle concerns of gender, demography or cultural diversity. The competitive market-economy model has widened the scope for managers in all countries to violate the fundamental values and integrity needed to maintain and enrich a civil society. These violations stretch from personal lapses of bribery and corruption to the wider areas of moral questions related to an ethically grounded global business system. This book grew out of'a three-day international workshop addressing these issues, held at the Management Centre for Human Values (MCHV), Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, during February 1998. The workshop explored topics of applied management by providing mUltiple perspectives. Eighteen of the papers have been chosen for this volume, covering business functions, strategies and alliances. One of the key objectives of the workshop was to integrate ideas of applied ethics developing from Asia, Australia and Europe. Any book on applied ethics must be founded on a multicultural base and be practically oriented. This project has been greatly privileged in drawing together the work of 18 very senior and widely experienced academics and practitioners, spanning four continents. The two editors, from different continents, communicated regularly with each other and the contributors. The book is a result of the support and encouragement of many individuals.

In recent years, population economics has become increasingly popular in both economic and policy analysis. For the inquiry into the long term development of an economy, the interaction between demographic change and economic activity cannot be neglected without omitting major aspects of the problems. This volume helps to further developments in theoretical and applied demographical economics covering the issues of demographic change and economic development. The interaction between demographic change and economic development in the long run is one central issue. One conjecture is that it is mainly the relative population pressure which controls the pace of economic development. However, econometric evidence presented in the book does not support this hypothesis. Other papers deal with the relationships between fertility and business cycle fluctuations, the timing of births, the efficiency in intergenerational transfers, the role of open economies for the population issue, historical perspectives of demographic change in Hungary and an outline of recent developments of applied modelling using input-output models, programming models or econometric techniques.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich mit dem bildungspolitischen Facettenreichtum beruflicher wie persönlicher Skills. Die Notwendigkeit, in einem sich wandelnden Arbeitsumfeld neu benötigte Kompetenzen zu definieren und zu vermitteln bzw. zu erlernen, wirft vielfältige Fragestellungen auf. Die Herausforderungen für Unternehmen, Bildungsanbieter und Arbeitnehmende werden aus wissenschaftlicher ebenso wie aus praxisorientierter Sicht reflektiert, um konkrete Erkenntnisse für Arbeitsalltag und Geschäftsmodelle abzuleiten. Die Autorinnen und Autoren betrachten unter anderem folgende Fragen: Welche Bedeutung hat der Wandel für den Erwerb, die Zertifizierung und die Aktualisierung von Kompetenzen? Wie können Deutschland und die EU strategisch mit diesem Wandel umgehen? Und welche Anforderungen ergeben sich daraus für das Bildungssystem und die Wirtschaft? Arbeitskräfte, die in einem stark gewandelten Arbeitsumfeld über die aktuell notwendigen und neu definierten Qualifikationen verfügen, tragen zu einem nachhaltigen Wachstum bei, fördern Innovationen und verbessern die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Unternehmen. Dies ist der Schlüssel, um sicherzustellen, dass der wirtschaftliche Aufschwung sowie der grüne und digitale Wandel sozial und gerecht sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat die Europäische Kommission das Jahr 2023 zum European Year of Skills erklärt.

Este libro analiza la irrupción de la Inteligencia Artificial en nuestras vidas y sus impactos económicos, sociales y políticos que tiene el desarrollo de estas tecnologías, ahondando en asuntos como las perspectivas del metaverso, el negativo balance climático de la digitalización y los peligros de la burbuja financiera creada en torno a las Criptomonedas, así́ como las desigualdades sociales provocadas por la «brecha digital». Estas circunstancias, junto al anonimato que tolera Internet, han convertido las Redes Sociales en verdaderas cloacas donde crecen las adicciones malsanas, el acoso y la pornografía, con los niños y adolescentes como víctimas principales. Los avances tecnológicos invaden velozmente nuestras vidas y desbordan las capacidades normativas de las Administraciones públicas, todo bajo el control remoto de unos gigantes empresariales que pretenden rediseñar los hábitos sociales en función de sus intereses económicos. En este mundo de escasas reglas, se presenta la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa con una enorme potencia tecnológica e indudable capacidad para impulsar grandes avances sociales y económicos que, sin duda alguna, van a cambiar el mundo para mejorarlo. No obstante falta todavía un verdadero marco ético que vincule los niveles de responsabilidad de todos los actores y ayude a vencer la desafección de muchos ciudadanos. Una realidad esta última a veces alentada por visiones catastrofistas del futuro tecnológico y, en otras ocasiones, por los escandalosos daños causados impunemente y de continuo por la ciberdelincuencia. Finalmente, el libro describe el contenido de las normas regulatorias reclamadas para que la actual y futura realidad del mundo puedan ser legal y socialmente gobernables. Y resume el texto de la pionera Ley Europea de la Inteligencia Artificial.

The task of continuously renewing a company is the greatest challenge confronting any chief executive. To enable managers to project renewal strategies likely to win in the future, Jeffrey Williams has constructed a dynamic road map of outcomes in what he calls'economic time,'based on a ten-year study of growth, decline, and renewal patterns of hundreds of companies in forty-five industries. In this superbly readable book, Williams's revolutionary, award-winning concept of slow-, standard-, and fast-cycle economic time provides a unifying business language that the multicycle manager can use to compare the renewal opportunities of widely diverse products, companies, and markets.Using examples and studies from companies such as Starbucks, McDonald's, UPS, Compaq, Sony, Merck, Disney, Toyota, IKEA, Microsoft, Sony, Intel, IBM, Johnson & Johnson, Chrysler, and Hewlett-Packard, Williams explains that the key idea in economic time is being able to manage products and organizations according to the speed and means by which economic value arises, decays, and is renewed. The drivers of economic time are isolating mechanisms -- a firm's unique capabilities that lie at the heart of its competitive advantage -- and that, in Williams's framework,'delay'product obsolescence. Building on his intuitively appealing model, Williams describes how his three laws of renewal -- convergence, alignment, and renewal -- provide guidelines by which managers can gain command over strategy in complex, dynamic competitive situations.Renewable Advantage is not only essential reading but also will become a standard reference for senior and division managers, business scientists and strategists, and general managers in all industries.

In diesem Buch wird eine klare Analyse der BREXIT-Widersprüche von Premierministerin Theresa Mays Global Britain-Politik und der Rolle der Finanzmärkte - bei Bankenaufsicht in einem Umfeld mit drohendem ITALEXIT und transatlantischen Trump-Handelskonflikten - durchgeführt. Es beantwortet ganz aktuell die wichtigsten Fragen zum BREXIT: Wie ist das historische BREXIT-Referendum in Großbritannien abgelaufen, welches sind die Hintergründe des anstehenden EU-Austritts und welche Folgen für Deutschland, Europa und die Weltwirtschaft sind absehbar? Die BREXIT-Entscheidung ist für Europa ein Jahrhundertereignis, das die EU schwächt und die Machtgewichte global verschiebt. Die EU hat an Anziehungskraft verloren, sie ist nicht im Einklang mit dem 21. Jahrhundert, das asiatisch, digital und innovationsstark ist. Es zeigt sich, dass indirekt ein Weg von der Bankenkrise zur Anti-Immigrationswelle und zum EU-Austritt führte. Zudem war das Referendumsergebnis stark verzerrt von einer grob fehlerhaften Infobroschüre der Cameron-Regierung, die den zu erwartenden Einkommensverlust als Effekt eines EU-Austritts verschwieg – mit dieser Information hätte sich eine klare Pro-EU-Mehrheit ergeben.

American Indian business is booming. The number of American Indian– and Alaska Native–owned businesses increased by 15.3 percent from 2007 to 2012—a time when the total number of US businesses increased by just 2 percent—and receipts grew from $34.4 million in 2002 to $8.8 billion in 2012. Despite this impressive growth, there is an absence of small businesses on reservations, and Native Americans own private businesses at the lowest rate per capita for any ethnic or racial group in the United States. Many Indigenous entrepreneurs face unique cultural and practical challenges in starting, locating, and operating a business, from a perceived lack of a culture of entrepreneurship and a suspicion of capitalism to the difficulty of borrowing start-up funds when real estate is held in trust and cannot be used as collateral. This book provides an accessible introduction to American Indian businesses, business practices, and business education. Its chapters cover the history of American Indian business from early trading posts to today's casino boom; economic sustainability, self-determination, and sovereignty; organization and management; marketing; leadership; human resource management; tribal finance; business strategy and positioning; American Indian business law; tribal gaming operations; the importance of economic development and the challenges of economic leakage; entrepreneurship; technology and data management; business ethics; service management; taxation; accounting; and health-care management. American Indian Business also furthers the inclusion of Indigenous perspectives in the study of American business practices in general and demonstrates the significant impact that American Indians have had on business, as well as their cultural contributions to management, leadership, marketing, economic development, and entrepreneurship.

Veblen has been claimed and rejected both by sociologists and economists as being one of theirs. He enriched and attacked both disciplines, as he did so many others: philosophy, history, social psychology, politics, and linguistics. Because he took all knowledge as necessary and relevant to adequate understanding, Veblen was a holistic analyst of the social process.First published in 1904, this classic analysis of the U.S. economy has enduring value today. In it, Veblen posited a theory of business fluctuations and economic growth which included chronic depression and inflation. He predicted the socioeconomic changes that would occur as a result: militarism, imperialism, fascism, consumerism, and the development of the mass media as well as the corporate bureaucracy. Douglas Dowd's introduction places the volume within the traditions of both macroeconomics and microeconomics, tracing Veblen's place among social thinkers, and the place of this volume in the body of his work.

This book presents a critical understanding of Indian business situated as an encounter between indigeneity and Western modernity by exploring notions and practices of responsibility. It brings the paradoxical nature of Indian businesses to the fore: though they have a rich history of philanthropic contributions to social causes, they have also been known for labour rights and human rights violations, environmental abuses, destruction of habitats, pollution and corruption. The book shows how Indian firms straddle these two starkly contrasting positions and the many blends in between to conform to global developments in the pursuit of corporate social responsibility (CSR). It also looks at the emergent field of critical studies and analysis of CSR, especially from the context of a developing country. Part of the ‘Contemporary Themes in Business and Management'series, this book will interest scholars of international business studies, management studies, economics, post-colonial management, organisational studies and corporate social responsibility, as well as businesses, corporates and practitioners.

Sustainability is of strategic importance to a business. This book makes an airtight case for why action is essential and how sustainability can help a business not only survive but thrive in competitive marketplaces.The major environmental impact of most businesses derives from energy usage.

Darwin's Medicine is the sequel to Brian D. Smith's influential and critically acclaimed Future of Pharma (Gower, 2011). Whereas the earlier book predicted the evolution of the pharmaceutical market and the business models of pharmaceutical companies, Darwin's Medicine goes much deeper into the drivers of industry change and how leading pharmaceutical and medical technology companies are adapting their strategies, structures and capabilities in practice. Through the lens of evolutionary science, Professor Smith explores the speciation of new business models in the Life Sciences Industry. This sophisticated and highly original approach offers insights into: The mechanisms of evolution in this exceptional industry; The six great technological and social shifts that are shaping its landscape; The emergence of 26 distinct, new business models; and The lessons that enable firms to direct and accelerate their own evolution. These insights map out the industry's complex, changing landscape and provide an invaluable guide to those firms seeking to survive and thrive in this dynamic market. The book is essential reading for anyone working in or studying the pharmaceutical, medical technology and related sectors. It provides a unique and novel way of making sense of the transformation we can see going on around us and a practical, focused approach to managing a firm's evolutionary trajectory.
