ISBN: 9780415221702 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The economic crisis of 1997 called East Asia's economic miracle into question and generated widespread criticism of the region's developmental models. However, the crisis did little to alter the growing economic integration of the region which is being forged through American, Japanese and Chinese firms who have created cross-border production networks - led by multinational corporations which span the entire value-chain in a number of industries. This book addresses the changing nature of high-tech industries in Asia, particularly in the electronics sector, where these networks are...

Schumpeter and the Endogeneity of Technology: Some American Perspectives
ISBN: 9780415226523 / Angielski / Twarda / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Joseph Schumpeter can be regarded as one of the most creative and influential economists of the 20th century. This influence has increased significantly since his death in 1950. Schumpeter addressed the central question of how some societies have managed to achieve substantial improvements in material wellbeing. His answer to wellbeing, with its emphasis on conditions favouring innovation, has become more persuasive charting world history from 1945. Nathan Rosenberg argues that today Schumpeter speaks to the economics profession in an authoritative way for another reason.

ISBN: 9780415238168 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The question of where economic activity will locate in the future is an important issue in present day economics. In all societies each market-orientated firm must make decisions of what to produce, for whom, how and where, in conjunction with the varying levels of economic integration such as discriminatory trade deals, and the growing importance of regionalization of the world economy. The traditional neo-classical model of international trade was updated in the 1980s with new trade theory and subsequently by the geography of production in the 1990s. This has deepened our understanding of...

As the twenty-first century begins, significant changes are occurring in the way that services and goods are produced and consumed.
