Pricing Systems, Indexes, and Price Behavior

Book Description

Nancy and Richard Ruggles's seminal work on prices has a contemporary relevance for modern-day theorists and practitioners. These carefully selected essays provide a core analysis of pricing systems and the behavior and measurement of prices.

Initially, the authors examine pricing systems and the role of prices in the theories of value and income distribution. They examine the theory of marginal cost pricing and the welfare basis of the marginal cost pricing principle before focusing on the problems of measuring price changes over time and space. They also examine the reliability of domestic price statistics and price indices and offer an evaluation of the wholesale price index. They expand this analysis to examine the behavior of prices, costs, wage rates and earnings in the United States economy, placing particular emphasis on inflation between 1950 and 1973 and on price stability and economic growth.

This book will be invaluable to academics, statisticians and policymakers with an interest in micreoconomics and pricing. TABLE OF CONTENTS: Preface Part I: Price Theory 1. The Welfare Basis of the Marginal Cost Pricing Principle 2. Recent Developments in the Theory of Marginal Cost Pricing 3. Discriminatory and Competitive Pricing 4. The Value of Value Theory Part II: Price Measurement 5. The Wholesale Price Index 6. Measuring the Cost of Quality 7. Domestic Price Statistics 8.

Just a Dictionary.......2005-07-02

I was really disappointed to pick this book up and find that it is a dictionary of media terms. Although it includes just about every possible media term out there, I expected more from Mr. Surmanek in terms of an updated version of his first book. Sorely disappointed. Returned the book and will continue the hunt for a great teaching book for beginners in the field like myself.

Really Useful Tool Book.......2005-02-23

It is a very useful tool book, for a marketing professional, a business student, or anyone who is interesting in marketing. Almost every term can be found in this book, and has a clear, simple and sufficient explaination.

Concise Reference for Managers and Marketers.......2003-03-14

This is a handy desk reference for marketing folks and the people who work with them. And a great value. Definitions are concise and well-written (but the trade-off is they are sometimes incomplete). Good coverage of trade terms (but marketing academics and researchers might want to look elsewhere).

Good--but Anglocentric and only runs through 1982.......2003-02-06

With "Trade Name Origins" Adrian Room delivers another fine work of lexicography and onomastics. However, be forewarned: as he is an Englishman, this work has much stronger coverage of British companies than of companies based in the U.S., Japan, and Europe (though the major ones are covered, e.g. Coke, Sony, Agfa). Also, this is a reprinting of the 1982 edition, not a new edition, so there is no mention of companies formed after that date. This is apparently the only dictionary of this sort out there, though, so even if it weren't up to Room's usual high standard it would still be a valuable addition to your reference shelf.

Book Description

Can economic globalization and environmental protection co-exist or does globalization inevitably lead to environmental degradation? How have firms in Europe responded to increased environmental regulation in the face of growing international competition, particularly from newly industrializing and transition economies?

This book attempts to answer these questions using case studies of three pollution-intensive industries: iron and steel, leather tanning, and fertilizers. Based on in-depth interviews with managers and regulators in Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America, the book illustrates the variety of responses to the conflicting pressures of globalization and environmental protection at corporate and industry levels. It also considers the impact which shifting competitive advantage has on the environment in newly industrialized countries and transition economies.

Environmental managers and regulators of national and international environmental agencies will find Environmental Regulation in the New Global Economy of great interest, as will, academics and students of economics, environmental management, business studies, geography and international relations.

Lean Performance ERP Project Management integrates strategy, people, process, and information technology into a project management methodology that applies Lean thinking to all processes.
