This book was released on 2015-01-26 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Practitioner's Guide to Stochastic Frontier Analysis Using Stata provides practitioners in academia and industry with a step-by-step guide on how to conduct efficiency analysis using the stochastic frontier approach. The authors explain in detail how to estimate production, cost, and profit efficiency and introduce the basic theory of each model in an accessible way, using empirical examples that demonstrate the interpretation and application of models. This book also provides computer code, allowing users to apply the models in their own work, and incorporates the most recent stochastic frontier models developed in academic literature. Such recent developments include models of heteroscedasticity and exogenous determinants of inefficiency, scaling models, panel models with time-varying inefficiency, growth models, and panel models that separate firm effects and persistent and transient inefficiency. Immensely helpful to applied researchers, this book bridges the chasm between theory and practice, expanding the range of applications in which production frontier analysis may be implemented.

Download or read book Mergers & Acquisitions: A Practitioner's Guide To Successful Deals written by Poniachek Harvey A and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2019-02-20 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The survival and prosperity of any corporation over the long term depend on the company's ability to grow and develop through a process of investment, restructuring, and redeployment. Since the late 19th century, mergers and acquisitions (M&As) have become an essential vehicle for corporate change, fuelled by synergies that could arise from expansion of sales and earnings, reduction in cost, and lower taxes and cost of capital.M&A transactions, however, are complex and risky and are affected by the state business cycle, financial conditions, regulations, and technology. Approximately two-thirds of all M&A deals fail. This book seeks to provide an effective and comprehensive framework, predominantly embedded in corporate finance, for achieving greater success. Written by academics and practitioners, it integrates business strategies with formal analysis relating to M&A deal making, providing a coherent statement on M&A by utilizing scholarly work with best practices by industry.The authors provide extensive analytical review and applications of the following critical M&A issues: valuation, leveraged buyouts, payment methods and their implications, tax issues, corporate governance, and the regulatory environment, including antitrust in M&A. The book globalizes the M&A model by extending it to cross-border business, risk and select hedging methods, and addresses postmerger integration.This book is intended as a reading text for a course in M&A for undergraduates and MBA programs, and for practitioners as a handbook.

Download or read book Capacity Management - A Practitioner Guide written by Adam Grummit and published by Van Haren. This book was released on 2009-07-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Capacity Management is described in most key ITSM frameworks: ITIL, ISO 20000 Microsoft Operations Framework (MOF) and the Application Service Library (ASL) all note the importance of Capacity Management. This major title meets the need for an in-depth practical guide to this critical process. Written and reviewed by some of the world’s most respected experts in this field it shows how Capacity Management best practice can support provision of a consistent, acceptable service level at a known and controlled cost. Practical advice covers the essential control of two balances: Supply versus demand and resources versus cost. In times of mean, frugal economic measures, it is essential to focus on those practices that are effective and yield practical results. In enlightened times of sustainability, it is also a requirement to find solutions that satisfy the criteria for 'greenness'. This excellent title shows how Capacity Management works not only within an IT environment but also why it is pivotal in meeting high profile business demands. Aligns with ISO/IEC 20000 and ITIL® ISO/IEC lists a set of required capacity management deliverables ITIL outlines what should be done in capacity management this book starts to describe how to do it Covers details of what capacity management is all about: what is capacity management why do it – benefits and cost-benefit analysis how to do it – data-flows and activities who does it – roles and perspectives implementation, maintenance, improvement, tools Provides comprehensive templates and checklists: objectives, interfaces and data-flows, sub-practices and activities metrics, application sizing parameters, data for modelling deliverables, reports, CMMI levels, KPIs, risk matrix sample capacity plan

Download or read book A Practitioner's Guide to State and Local Population Projections written by Stanley K. Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-16 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the methodology and analysis of state and local population projections. It describes the most commonly used data sources and application techniques for four types of projection methods: cohort-component, trend extrapolation, structural models, and microsimulation. It covers the components of population growth, sources of data, the formation of assumptions, the development of evaluation criteria, and the determinants of forecast accuracy. It considers the strengths and weaknesses of various projection methods and pays special attention to the unique problems that characterize small-area projections. The authors provide practical guidance to demographers, planners, market analysts, and others called on to construct state and local population projections. They use many examples and illustrations and present suggestions for dealing with special populations, unique circumstances, and inadequate or unreliable data. They describe techniques for controlling one set of projections to another, for interpolating between time points, for sub-dividing age groups, and for constructing projections of population-related variables (e.g., school enrollment, households). They discuss the role of judgment and the importance of the political context in which projections are made. They emphasize the “utility” of projections, or their usefulness for decision making in a world of competing demands and limited resources. This comprehensive book will provide readers with an understanding not only of the mechanics of the most commonly used population projection methods, but also of the many complex issues affecting their construction, interpretation, evaluation, and use.

This book was released on 2005-12-21 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial plans for this book sprang from a late-afternoon conversation in a hotel bar. All three authors were attending the 1996 meeting of the Population As- ciation of America in New Orleans. While nursing drinks and expounding on a variety of topics, we began talking about our current research projects. It so happened that all three of us had been entertaining the notion of writing a book on state and local population projections. Recognizing the enormity of the project for a single author, we quickly decided to collaborate. Had we not decided to work together, it is unlikely that this book ever would have been written. The last comprehensive treatment of state and local population projections was Don Pittenger’s excellent work Projecting State and Local Populations (1976). Many changes affecting the production of population projections have occurred since that time. Technological changes have led to vast increases in computing power, new data sources, the development of GIS, and the creation of the Internet. The procedures for applying a number of projection methods have changed considerably, and several completely new methods have been developed.

Download or read book Ten Assessment Literacy Goals for School Leaders written by Steve Chappuis and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Of all school-related factors that influence student learning, only classroom instruction has greater impact than leadership. And leaders have the greatest impact when they set direction, citing that the goals and purpose they provide serves to strengthen and solidify the faculty. The ten competencies for school leaders described in this book are based on a few factors. First, standards-driven reform has created new knowledge requirements and responsibilities for school leaders. In today's systems, sorting students along a bell curve and artificially creating winners and losers has been replaced by a mission that all students must learn well. Instead of a curriculum focused on what a teacher should teach, the curriculum identifies what students must know and be able to do. These standards are public, and communicate what a state or district values when it comes to student learning. Assessing the standards day to day, not through large-scale accountability tests or even local short-cycle or common assessments, is a requirement for effective standards-based reform. Second is the reward of improved student learning brought about by the use of classroom assessment for learning. Assessment for learning has implications not just for school leaders but also for broader educational practice: The research is conclusive, and improved learning lies within the grasp of anyone wishing to apply it. What does it look like when school leaders demonstrate mastery of the Ten Assessment Competencies? Included in the book are examples, learning activities, and opportunities for practice as well as success indicators for each competency as leaders work toward mastery"--
