PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This book explores 4 key issues in the world economy: the changing context of international business, the continuing pace of economic integration, international joint ventures and knowledge management. More specifically the book explores how each of the issues affects the strategies of multinational enterprises (MNEs). The book takes into account the moral basis of global capitalism, made all the more important after the events of 11 September 2001. Peter Buckley is a world renowned expert in the field of international Business.

The Sources and Nature of the Statistics of the United Kingdom, produced under the auspices of the Royal Statistical Society and edited by Maurice Kendall, filled a notable gap on the library shelves when it made its appearance in the early post-war years. Through a series of critical reviews by many of the foremost national experts, it constituted a valuable contemporary guide to statisticians working in many fields as well as a bench-mark to which historians of the development of Statistics in this country are likely to return again and again. The Social Science Research Council (now the Economic and Social Research Council) and the Society were both delighted when Professor Maunder came forward with the proposal that a revised version should be produced, indicating as well his willingness to take on the onerous task of editor (a task in which he was assisted from 1985 by Professor Fleming). The two bodies were more than happy to act as co-sponsors of the project and to help in its planning through a joint steering committee. The result, we are confident, will be judged a worthy successor to the previous volumes by the very much larger 'statistics public' that has come into being in the intervening years.

Design of Distillation Column Control Systems

A distillation column is both multivariable and nonlinear - and it consumes immense quantities of energy. Yet, despite the desigh challenges it presents, it is still the most popular unit operation for refining in industrial plants today. Much has been published on the subject of distillation column design, but much remains to be explained. That is why this book is unique. In a departure from the more traditional empirical and theoretical approaches, it introduced the reader to the practical realm, by presenting quantitative design techniques that have been demonstrated to be useful and valid over the course of hundreds of actual applications. The book is divided into three main parts. Part I, an introduction, presents an industrial perspective of control objectives. It discusses briefly the relationship between column design features and column controllability. It thus provides a short refresher course for chemical engineers and background for those trained in other branches of engineering. Part II, Concepts and Configurations, discusses column overhead and base arrangements, typical control schemes, and some hardware considerations. Part III is dedicated to quantitative design. Mathematical models are presented for pressure and differential pressure controls, liquid level control, and composition control of binary distillation.Emphasis on topics of primary interest to the control engineerEssentially nonmathematical treatmentIdeal for those involved in troubleshooting existing columns as well to design engineers

This seminal book has revolutionised the field of international business.  Presenting the core theory of the multinational enterprise based on the internalisation of imperfect markets and the minimisation of location costs, The Future of Multinational Enterprise has inspired both theoretical and empirical research on the global economy. In addition it has influenced company strategy and economic policy at local, national, regional and international levels.  Its insights into company strategy and global policy remain compelling. 

The Future of the Multinational Enterprise

This book focuses on the study of International business and more specifically 'Is the international business research agenda running out of steam?' After laying down this challenge, Buckley presents three theoretical developments, which point to ways forward for the agenda. He includes empirical evidence on the strategy of the Multinational Enterprise and on foreign direct investment and the world economy.

<p>This is one of the most influential studies of multinational enterprises ever published. As a book that revolutionised the field, it includes a critical examination of empirical observations about FDI, offers a long-run theory and other alternative theories of the multinational enterprise, as well as looking at the world's largest firms and offering predictions and policy implications. This resulted in the internalisation theory that has influenced much research on FDI since it was first published in 1976. To mark the 25th Anniversary, the authors have included a new introduction, which reflects on the enduring impact of the book.</p>
