Budgeting and Organizational Culture


Budgeting and Organizational Culture


$116.3


Recently, public higher education institutions have increasingly turned their attention to incentive based budgeting models as internal resource allocation models. However, these models have been criticized for bringing market forces, competitiveness, and businesslike perceptions into the higher education environment. In recent years, the literature on incentive budgeting systems has grown; mostly, through institutional case studies. However, most of these studies focused on the formal structures and on the financial outcomes. The literature lacks any exploration of the effects that such changes have on an organizations culture. However, incentive based budgeting systems involve more than simply formulas. They also bring a new frame of mind into higher education organizations. Decentralization of the decisionmaking process is one such change that is attached to incentive based budgeting systems. Thus, incentive based budgeting models affect the whole institution, its formal and informal structures as well as its culture. This study focuses on responsibility center management (RCM) and its perceived effects on the culture of decisionmaking at a higher education institution.

Social Capital


Social Capital


$135.33


The concept of social capital is currently the focus of an explosion of interest in the research and policy community. It refers to the social networks, informal structures and norms that facilitate individual and collective action. This explosion of interest is driven by a growing body of evidence that social capital has enormous effects on economic growth, health, crime and even the effectiveness and functioning of governments. David Halpern provides a guide through the many and sometimes confusing definitions of social capital. The various literatures examining the empirical consequences of social capital are brought together from across academic disciplines to demonstrate a remarkable range of effects. A model is then presented to account for the causal pathways that create social capital, and that lead from social capital to its outcomes. International evidence is used to establish whether social capital is on the decline, and the thorny question of whether social capital can harm or exclude is also examined. Finally, the policy implications are considered, including how social capital can be measured, created and utilized. Social Capital offers an overview of one of the most important and exciting areas to emerge out of the social sciences in many years. It assumes no previous knowledge of the literature or statistics, and will be of interest to students and researchers in politics, sociology, social administration and social psychology and to the general reader interested in finding out more about how social capital affects all our lives.

The Stigma of Childhood Obesity: A Literature Review.


The Stigma of Childhood Obesity: A Literature Review.


$115.71


Research is consistent in demonstrating high prevalence rates of obesity for adult and child populations in the United States and around the world, and such rates continue to increase. While the physical heath consequences of obesity are well documented, potential mental health issues related to the obesity stigma are less well known. This review explores the stigma of childhood obesity in an effort to better understand the phenomenon. The research unambiguously indicates that Americans of all ages hold prejudicial attitudes and beliefs associated with obesity, and readily discriminate against those who are obese. Consequently, this review also discusses ways to prevent obesity, intervene with those children who are already obese, and aid children in managing obesity stigma. Clinical applications of obesity stigma research, as well as considerations for future research, are also proposed.

Human Capital and Economic Growth


Human Capital and Economic Growth


$132.24


Growth theory is one of the most important branches of macroeconomics. With the emergence of the new growth theory, human capital accumulation and its role on economic growth has been placed at the forefront of the research in macroeconomics. In this book, we have analysed several theoretical aspects related to the human capital accumulation and endogenous economic growth.In chapter 1, we have presented a survey of the existing theoretical literature on the role of human capital accumulation on endogenous economic growth. Since this is a vast literature, we have surveyed only those theoretical works which have been developed adopting the framework of Lucas (1988). In chapter 2, we have extended the Lucas (1988) model in two directions. Chapter 3 sheds light on the relationship between human capital accumulation and environmental quality. In chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the present book, we have developed growth models of a dual economy in which human capital accumulation is viewed as the source of economic growth and in which dualism exists in the mechanism of human capital accumulation of the two types of individuals the rich and the poor.

Chapter 4 is a reexamination of MMs analysis with taxes. It is demonstrated that the literature needs correcting, and modifications on the classic results are shown.

Empirical Capital Structure


Empirical Capital Structure


$125.78


The firms capital structure how it funds operations by raising capital from a variety of sources has attracted considerable attention from both academics and practitioners. The empirical capital structure literature explores both the crosssectional determinants of capital structure as well as timeseries changes. Empirical Capital Structure reviews both aspects of this literature. Empirical Capital Structure is organized around a simple framework that contains three key ingredients: the costs and benefits that determine a firms capital structure the existence of shocks that cause firms to deviate, at least temporarily, from their targets. the presence of factors that may prevent firms from constantly maintaining debt ratios that match their targets. Empirical Capital Structure is organized as follows. Section II discusses specification and econometric issues that will be important for many of the tests considered. Section III reviews crosssectional capital structure determinants. Section IV explores factors that pull firms away from their leverage targets. Section V discusses reasons why firms might not immediately reverse the effect of these leverage shocks, apparently allowing deviations from their targets to persist for extended periods of time. Section VI explores a group of studies that look at how leverage feeds back into a firms real business decisions. Finally, Section VII concludes and provides suggestions for new research.

Capital Theory and Dynamics


Capital Theory and Dynamics


$76.47


Capital theory and dynamics are cornerstones for almost every branch of economics. Except in a fictional world where the economies of yesterday, today, and tomorrow are identical, issues of capital formation and dynamic behaviour must always arise. Although the specialist literature is technically demanding, Professor Burmeister shows that its important results can be understood and their economic significance grasped by those who do not possess the mathematical literacy required to follow rigorous proofs. Even if future events are known with certainty, they still influence the current economic state. This is the pure role of time. That future events are not known with certainty adds another complexity. This book focuses mainly on the pure role of time.

Congressional Budgeting: A Representational Perspective


Congressional Budgeting: A Representational Perspective


$110.68


In Congressional Budgeting, Patrick Fisher analyzes the problems inherent in the congressional budget process, and studies why congress makes the budgetary decisions that it does. In their desire to limit the tyranny of the majority, the framers of the Constitution designed a legislature that would be constrained and deliberate. While the institutional structure of Congress (i.e. bicameralism and the committee system) and American government in general (i.e. separation of powers) make the budget process more difficult, it does not make producing a sensible budget impossible. Fisher argues that it is the representational nature of Congress that makes budgeting such a flawed process. Budgeting requires Congress to compromise parochial interests for the well being of the entire nation, focusing on macrolevel budget decisions. It is the parochial nature of congressional budgeting that is key to understanding the predicament Congress confronts when budgeting.
