The
Dragon and the Elephant - China, India and the New World Order
by David Smith
The
rise of China and India will be the outstanding development of the
21st century, raising fundamental questions about both the structure
of the world economy and the balance of global geopolitical power.
Will
China still be a repressive and undemocratic regime, embracing free
market economics but only when it suits? How aggressive a superpower
will it be? And what about India, whose huge and growing population
and economic prospects appear to guarantee prosperity?
David
Smith analyses the ways in which the world is tilting rapidly Eastwards,
and examines all the implications of the shift in global power to
Beijing, Delhi and Washington – a shift that will creep up
on us before we know it. |

Leading
the Sales Force: A Dynamic Management Process
by Rene Y. Darmon
How should a sales force be managed effectively? Like aircraft pilots,
managers must analyse information and make interconnected decisions
in order to accomplish their missions. This book provides an integrative
vision of a sales manager's function, using the concept of a dynamic
sales force management process. This process adds a new dimension
to the 'classical' conception of sales force management, showing
how sales managers can be more effective when they develop and maintain
a holistic vision. The first part of the book describes the key
actors and their roles, while the second part examines the tools
used to implement the dynamic sales force management process. Rene
Y. Darmon shows how this process relies on a clear vision of successive
sales missions to be accomplished over time by all members of a
sales team, as they develop strategies and tactics which contribute
to fulfilling the firm's overall aims. |

and Digital Economics: Principles, Methods and Applications
by Eric Brousseau (Editor), Nicolas Curien (Editor)
How
are our societies being transformed by internet and digital economics?
This book provides an accessible introduction to the economics of
the internet and a comprehensive account of the mechanisms of the
digital economy. Leading scholars examine the original economic
and business models being developed as a result of the internet

of cultural goods, electronic markets and the rise of new information
intermediaries, e-retailing and e-banking. The volume examines how
internet and digital economics have transformed the organization

money, finance, and innovation processes, and provides the analytical
tools to understand both these recent transformations and the likely
future directions of the 'New Economy'.
