Эта книга была впервые опубликована в 1999 году и вскоре стала базовым обзором исследований правительности. Однако это не только введение в тематическое поле, но и разработка особой «аналитики управления» – самостоятельное развитие подхода Мишеля Фуко в историческом и социально-политическом анализе. Благодаря вниманию к отношениям между правительностью и другими ключевыми понятиями Фуко, такими как биополитика и суверенность, первое издание предвосхитило и отчасти определило словарь современных дискуссий и исследований в данном поле. Во втором издании (2010) Митчелл Дин работает уже с полным текстовым корпусом лекционных курсов Фуко и предлагает ценные размышления по поводу традиций, методов и теории политической власти, рассматривая авторитарную и либеральную стороны правительности. Для второго издания каждая глава была полностью пересмотрена и обновлена, вобрав в себя новейшие теоретические, социальные и политические разработки этого поля. Было добавлено новое введение с обзором состояния исследований правительности сегодня, а также совершенно новая глава о международной правительности.

Что объединяет производителей аквариумов и сопутствующих товаров Tetra, систем контроля трубопроводов Rosen, пластмассовых подшипников Igus и поводков-рулеток Flexi? Все они – типичные «скрытые чемпионы», неизвестные средние компании, незаметно ставшие лидерами мирового рынка в своих отраслях. Герман Симон, изучающий истории «скрытых чемпионов» более 30 лет, в новой книге рассказывает об их невероятном международном успехе и колоссальном воздействии на глобализацию. Подробно анализируя деятельность более тысячи «скрытых чемпионов» по всему миру, Симон раскрывает общие тенденции, типы поведения и подходы, которые обеспечивают успех компаниям и нередко способствуют сохранению их лидерства на мировом рынке из поколения в поколение, несмотря на жесткую конкуренцию, финансовые трудности и изменчивую рыночную ситуацию. Он рассказывает о методах ведения бизнеса и обслуживания клиентов, маркетинге, инновациях, кадровом менеджменте, организационных моделях, особенностях управления и стратегиях, которые выгодно отличают эти выдающиеся предприятия и от общей массы компаний, и от современных крупных корпораций. Кроме того, автор дает читателям возможность заглянуть за кулисы многих успешных, но непубличных компаний, которые пренебрегают современными концепциями менеджмента. «Скрытые чемпионы» доказывают, что хорошее управление – это умение делать вещи лучше конкурентов – спокойно, целеустремленно и сохраняя приверженность своему делу. В условиях кризисной экономики подход «скрытых чемпионов» – противоядие от недальновидных и ненужных практик, жертвами которых пали многие корпоративные гиганты. Книга предназначена для специалистов в области менеджмента и маркетинга.

Presents inference and simulation of stochastic process in the field of model calibration for financial times series modelled by continuous time processes and numerical option pricing. Introduces the bases of probability theory and goes on to explain how to model financial times series with continuous models, how to calibrate them from discrete data and further covers option pricing with one or more underlying assets based on these models. Analysis and implementation of models goes beyond the standard Black and Scholes framework and includes Markov switching models, Lévy models and other models with jumps (e.g. the telegraph process); Topics other than option pricing include: volatility and covariation estimation, change point analysis, asymptotic expansion and classification of financial time series from a statistical viewpoint. The book features problems with solutions and examples. All the examples and R code are available as an additional R package, therefore all the examples can be reproduced.

Klassisches Marketing ist nicht selten gepragt durch eine systembedingte Tragheit, unzureichende Beachtung der Kundenerwartungen, zentralistische Strukturen, wunschbasierte Planzahlen oder unzureichende Koordination mit internen Partnern. All dies fuhrt dazu, dass Unternehmen nicht oder zumindest weniger erfolgreich sind, als sie es sein konnten. Marketing muss sich neu erfinden, wenn die Unternehmen eine Zukunft haben wollen. Eine Komponente ist das dezentrale Marketing, bei dem Entscheidungen und Initiativen denjenigen uberlassen werden, die sich in der Nahe der Kunden befinden. Dazu gehoren kurze Reaktionszeiten, kompetentes Nutzen von Social Networks, Ubernahme von direkter Verantwortung durch diejenigen, die Marketingma?nahmen praktizieren, kurze Entscheidungswege, Open Innovation und Crowdsourcing oder erweiterte Serviceorientierung. Hans-Jurgen Borchardt zeigt Unternehmen, welche Elemente des Marketing in den nachsten Jahren relevant sein werden und worauf Unternehmen achten mussen, wenn sie dauerhaft Erfolg haben wollen. Marketingabteilungen, Unternehmenseinheiten und Filialen, aber auch Klein- und mittelstandische Unternehmer konnen ihre aktuellen Strategien, Strukturen und Prozesse daran spiegeln und Ideen fur neue Konzepte gewinnen.

Taking due account of extreme events when constructing portfolios of assets or liabilities is a key discipline for market professionals. Extreme events are a fact of life in how markets operate. In Extreme Events: Robust Portfolio Construction in the Presence of Fat Tails, leading expert Malcolm Kemp shows readers how to analyse market data to uncover fat-tailed behaviour, how to incorporate expert judgement in the handling of such information, and how to refine portfolio construction methodologies to make portfolios less vulnerable to extreme events or to benefit more from them. This is the only text that combines a comprehensive treatment of modern risk budgeting and portfolio construction techniques with the specific refinements needed for them to handle extreme events. It explains in a logical sequence what constitutes fat-tailed behaviour and why it arises, how we can analyse such behaviour, at aggregate, sector or instrument level, and how we can then take advantage of this analysis. Along the way, it provides a rigorous, comprehensive and clear development of traditional portfolio construction methodologies applicable if fat-tails are absent. It then explains how to refine these methodologies to accommodate real world behaviour. Throughout, the book highlights the importance of expert opinion, showing that even the most data-centric portfolio construction approaches ultimately depend on practitioner assumptions about how the world might behave. The book includes: Key concepts and methods involved in analysing extreme events A comprehensive treatment of mean-variance investing, Bayesian methods, market consistent approaches, risk budgeting, and their application to manager and instrument selection A systematic development of the refinements needed to traditional portfolio construction methodologies to cater for fat-tailed behaviour Latest developments in stress testing and back testing methodologies A strong focus on the practical implementation challenges that can arise at each step in the process and on how to overcome these challenges “Understanding how to model and analyse the risk of extreme events is a crucial part of the risk management process. This book provides a set of techniques that allow practitioners to do this comprehensively.” Paul Sweeting, Professor of Actuarial Science, University of Kent “How can the likeliness of crises affect the construction of portfolios? This question is highly topical in times where we still have to digest the last financial collapse. Malcolm Kemp gives the answer. His book is highly recommended to experts as well as to students in the financial field.” Christoph Krischanitz, President Actuarial Association of Austria, Chairman WG “Market Consistency” of Groupe Consultatif
