free book summaries, Product Description Although emerging market economies consist of 50% of the global population, they are relatively unknown. Filling this knowledge gap, Emerging Markets: Performance, Analysis and Innovation compiles the latest research by noteworthy academics and money managers from around the world. With a focus on both traditional emerging markets and new areas, such as the Balkan, Middle East, and North African regions, it looks at how these markets can serve as drivers of portfolios and a significant force over the long term. This noteworthy collection sheds some light on what lies ahead for emerging markets with the most up-to-date research from academics and practitioners. It covers general issues in emerging markets and provides in-depth studies of regional markets experiencing transition, including the European Union, Latin America, and the Middle East. The book also explores Asian and Indian markets as well as financial instruments, such as bonds and funds, relative to these markets. It concludes with chapters on regulations, corporate governance, and corruption. About the Author Greg N. Gregoriou is Professor of Finance in the School of Business and Economics at the State University of New York, Plattsburgh.

0201633795B04062001 See all Editorial Reviews

My boss and I took on the ISO9000 registration project for my company with very little prior knowledge or experience with the ISO 9000 standard. The President of our company didn't think we could do it. There were two other failed attempts. Little did he know, we were armed with Richard Randall's no nonsence book. We scrapped the existing quality management system, and started from scratch. We certified 3 buildings with 250 employees in 4 months thanks to Richard Randall's book. Our ISO auditor has called our quality system one of the top 2% he has seen. I highly recommend this book.I was assigned to shepherd a manufacturing plant to ISO-9001 registration. Randall's Practical Guide helped me understand the elements of the ISO-9000 standard, and translate them into a practical, functional quality system. Our plant passed the registration audit on the first try. As long as I'm in the quality field, Randall's Practical Guide will be one of my main references.If you are looking for a book that provides practical guidance and helpful examples for implementing an ISO 9000 Quality system... this is the book. We used it to develop our system and passed our certification audit the first time. We continue to use it as a reference for refining and improving our quality system.

free book summaries, Review …does a capable job of updating the first edition and is a solid hands-on guide for the next wave of statistical quality control practitioners. …With detailed examples and a few problems at the end of most chapters, this book gives learning practitioners a good starting point for the key points of statistical quality control, especially in emphasizing the importance of characterizing and adjusting for variability in processes and avoiding common pitfalls when making decisions from observed data. …it is a worthwhile addition to the reference shelf of quality engineers and practitioners.
-Christine M. Anderson-Cook, Journal of the American Statistical Association

Its contents are of great interest for engineering, business and industrial professional and students. Good graphical illustrations aid the understanding of the concepts and techniques discussed. The second edition expands the content of the 1976 first edition. I recommend this book for lecturers and students of engineering as a good introductory book on statistical quality control in industry and business.

This is a well organized book, definitely more of a textbook than something you would sit down and read. It gets into many of the basics like crashing a project, and has a good non-textbook tone at times by narrating a story line in the third person.
