Book Description

Technology's contribution to economic growth and competitiveness has been the subject of vigorous debate in recent years. This book demonstrates the importance of a historical perspective in understanding the role of technological innovation in the economy. The authors examine key episodes and institutions in the development of the U.S. research system and in the development of the research systems of other industrial economies. They argue that the large potential contributions of economics to the understanding of technology and economic growth have been constrained by the narrow theoretical framework employed within neoclassical economies. A richer framework, they believe, will support a more fruitful dialogue among economists, policymakers, and managers on the organization of public and private institutions for innovation. David Mowery is Associate Professor of Business and Public Policy at the School of Business Administration, University of California, Berkeley. Nathan S. Rosenberg is Fairleigh Dickinson Professor of Economics at Stanford University. He is the author of Inside the Black Box: Technology and Economics (CUP, 1983).

Book Description

Reasonable Men, Powerful Words traces the development of political culture in twentieth-century Japan through a social and intellectual biography of six Japanese economists who influenced national political life in significant ways. The global ascendance of social scientists is one of the defining characteristics of modernity. They dedicated themselves to an extraordinary range of public policies, including eliminating poverty, reducing disparities of wealth, reshaping the relationship between government and citizen, building a strong economy devoid of a military component, and creating an educated and politically active populace in Japan.

Metrics Ratios.......2007-02-10

This book is a truly useful product. Wireman gives a great overview of each of the maintenance management programs/philosophies and compares each by its outcomes. There are many, many examples of metric ratios with very clear explanations of what the metric is actually measuring and also what some of the pitfalls are if the data used in the metric is not accurate. I recommend this book as a useful library item for proposal writers (particularly in the government contracting arena) and for maintenance engineers looking to improve performance using KPI's.

A good starting point.......2000-04-29

This book is primarily a "directory" on how to measure and then improve equipment maintenance management. Mr Wireman describes the basic methods of maintenance with chapters on the pros and cons of preventative maintenance, RCM, TPM and computerised maintenance managing software. It then describes the performance measures that can be used to effectively manage maintenance. This is a very good book for engineers wanting to improve the maintenance function, but if you are after a handbook on how to set up a PM, RCM or TPM program then this isn't the book you want.
