The authors argue that this order, triggered by new information and communication technologies, has resulted in a different set of challenges for effective management of the contemporary firm. Knowledge will play an important role in managing these challenges, with the onus being on new hardware and software as much as how businesses can be organized with regard to relationships with customers and suppliers. operations can be organized, in order to...

The Putin and Bush presidencies, the 9/11 attack, and the war in Iraq have changed the dynamics of Russian-European-US relations and strained the Western alliance.

Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Arbeit ist einerseits die in den Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften heute weitverbreitete Ein sicht, dass die fur die Anwendung eines bestimmten Entscheidungs modells notwendigen Kenntnisse in aller Regel nur schwer be schaffbar sind. Im allgemeinen hat man nur vage und mit Unsicher heiten und Ungenauigkeiten behaftete Informationen. Andererseits werden die mit bestimmten Entscheidungsmodellen einhergehenden optimalen Verfahren haufig deshalb kritisiert, weil sie schon bei geringen Abweichungen von den Modellannahmen erheblich an Optima1itat verlieren. Gerade...

This book addresses the applications of Fourier transform to smile modeling. Smile effect is used generically by ?nancial engineers and risk managers to refer to the inconsistences of quoted implied volatilities in ?nancial markets, or more mat- matically, to the leptokurtic distributions of ?nancial assets and indices. Therefore, a sound modeling of smile effect is the central challenge in quantitative ?nance. Since more than one decade, Fourier transform has triggered a technical revolution in option pricing theory. Almost all new developed option pricing models, es- cially in connection...

Minority games are simple mathematical models initially designed to understand the co-operative phenomena observed in markets. Their core ingredients are large numbers of interacting decision-making agents, each aiming for personal gain in an artificial 'market' by trying to anticipate (on the basis of incomplete information, and with an element of irrationality) the actions of others. Gain is made by those who subsequently find themselves in the minority group, e.g. those who end up buying when most wish to sell or vice versa. Aimed at researchers and students in physics, mathematics and...
