'Financial Accounting for Decision Makers' presents the key concepts of accounting without going into too much unnecessary technical detail. The book is aimed as 'users' of accounting information, not 'preparers' of accounts.
Gore Vidal, known for such best-sellers as The City and the Pillar, Burr, Lincoln, and Myra Breckinridge, is a household name. The controversial Vidal ran for Congress in 1960, and set sparks flying with his public debates challenging William F. Buckley and Norman Mailer. Although one of America's most admired and prolific writers, Vidal has been steadfastly ignored or impugned by many critics. This is partly owing to the vast scope of his writings, which include more than twenty novels, half a dozen plays, dozens of screenplays, countless essays and book reviews, political commentary, and short stories; how do the critics approach such a writer? There has also been backlash against Vidal, whose radical polemics and undisguised contempt for those whom he has called "the hacks and hicks of academe" have hardly endeared him to the critical establishment.Gore Vidal: Writer Against the Grain is the first collection of critical essays to approach this important American writer in an attempt to rectify the unwarranted underestimation of his work. Jay Parini has drawn from the best of previously published criticism and commissioned fresh articles by leading contemporary critics to construct a comprehensive portrait of Vidal's multifaceted and memorable career. Writers as diverse as Harold Bloom, Stephen Spender, Catharine R. Stimpson, Richard Poirier, and Italo Calvino examine Vidal's work in their own highly individual ways, and each finds a different Vidal to celebrate, chide, recollect, or view close up. Also included is a recent interview with Parini in which Vidal discusses his career and his troubled relationship with the reviewers.The Vidal that finally emerges from these essays is a writer of undeniable weight and importance. As readers will agree, Gore Vidal: Writer Against the Grain establishes his rightful role as one of the premier novelists and leading critical observers of this century.
As computer-related crime becomes more important globally, both scholarly and journalistic accounts tend to focus on the ways in which the crime has been committed and how it could have been prevented. Very little has been written about what follows: the capture, possible extradition, prosecution, sentencing and incarceration of the cyber criminal. Originally published in 2004, this book provides an international study of the manner in which cyber criminals are dealt with by the judicial process. It is a sequel to the groundbreaking Electronic Theft: Unlawful Acquisition in Cyberspace by Grabosky, Smith and Dempsey (Cambridge University Press, 2001). Some of the most prominent cases from around the world are presented in an attempt to discern trends in the handling of cases, and common factors and problems that emerge during the processes of prosecution, trial and sentencing.
Teori sosial telah mengalami banyak perkembangan dalam beberapa dekade terakhir ini. Beberapa sosiolog dan antropolog, seperti para sejarawan, telah membuat “cultural turn”. Dengan demikian, kebudayaan menjadi lebih difokuskan. Bakhtin dan Gombrich, misalnya, mendiskusikannya secara lebih panjang, demikian pula Thomas Kuhn. Di sisi lain, berkembangnya “teori pilihan rasional” (rational choice theory) membawa kami untuk menambahkan seksi baru, yaitu tentang “problem” pada pembahasan konflik di antara sejarawan yang menekankan rasionalitas dengan pihak yang lebih mengutamakan relativisme kultural. Kepustakaan buku edisi baru ini juga telah diperbarui dengan menambahkan sejumlah artikel dan buku yang lebih mutakhir. Seksi baru pun ditambahkan, tentang modal sosial dan pascakolonialisme, yang sangat ramai dibahas dalam buku dan artikel era sekarang. Juga contoh-contoh baru kami tambahkan. Bahkan, untuk menampung banyaknya penambahan itu, kami sengaja membuat halaman baru. Sementara itu, bagian-bagian yang sudah tidak relevan, ketinggalan zaman, kami hilangkan, sebagaimana nyata dalam bibliografi dan teks-teks contoh yang dihilangkan.

This book - one in the four-volume set,Global Governance and the Quest for Justice - focuses on themes of citizen organisation and empowerment set in the context of globalising legal processes. Chapter One sets the scene. Chapters Two, Three and Four focus on various challenges that globalisation poses for private law. How does substantive contract and tort doctrine that has been developed (mainly) for use within national legal systems adapt to more globalised dealings and wrongdoings? Should the source of regulation be private international law, harmonised national law, international accords (or some combination)? Chapters Five, Six and Seven focus on issues relating to access to justice (as a mode of empowerment) and its impact on the functioning of civil society. These chapters highlight a variety of procedural, professional and institutional challenges for access to justice in a globalised world. Chapter Eight considers how we are to reconcile the competing visions of the basis on which essential services are to be provided. In a global marketplace, is there any room for local values or for values other than those of free-market thinking? Finally, Chapter Nine focuses on the question of democracy in a globalised world. If civil society is to retain its political vitality, how are citizens to remain engaged and enfranchised as a new global politico-legal order takes shape?

* Market-specific to financial services * CD Rom providing KAM analysis software, and access to further support. * Practical tools, both in the text and the CD-ROM Building on the success of Peter Cheverton's generic book, Key Account Management, (now in its third edition), Key Account Management in Financial Services follows a broadly similar structure but is aimed at sales and marketing people in the financial services (FS) sector. Designed for practitioners and managers responsible for implementation, the focus is on "making it happen," using real examples to illustrate tools and models, and to highlight success and failure. The book takes the readers through a developing process of understanding, analysis, planning, implementation, and performance monitoring, matching the development over time of their own plans. It is intended to be used as a "before, during, and after" guide to practical implementation. Targeted narrowly on financial services, the book addresses the changing environment and the new imperatives for KAM -- the rising cost of sales, regulatory bodies, globalization of customers, new customer organizations; the buying process in Financial Services; "Competitor Replacement Strategies," a particular feature of the FS market. Also included are a much expanded section on E-commerce and the Internet, and one on the management of non Key Accounts, vital to the success of any KAM strategy in these markets
Key Account Management is a highly practical book with a unique yet simple planning methodology for identifying, obtaining, retaining and developing key customers - the lifeblood of any organization. Fully re-written to reflect the most recent trends and challenges, this new edition will reinforce its standing as the premier book on the subject. Very few books take the long-term, team-selling strategic view of KAM that this book takes, and it is the only book which focuses on implementation rather than theory. Based on real and current experience of companies facing the challenge, it provides tools for use in the real world that will help you to plan your own strategy as you proceed. The case studies span the full breadth of the KAM experience: FMCG, Retail, B2B, Petrochemical, Speciality Chemical, Service Industry, Pharmaceutical, IT and Financial Services. With a CDROM containing ready-to-use application tools, Key Account Management has found a global resonance with business practitioners, whilst also establishing itself on many academic reading lists.
