Review Building and Sustaining Communities of Practice (Knowledge for Improvement) / Amer Productivity Center:APQC has conducted the largest single study of communities of practice (CoPs) to date in order to understand their nature, their role, and how to create and successfully sustain them.

It discusses the successful intranet implementations of early business adopters, providing specific examples of applications and associated benefits. The report also reviews the latest tools and products being developed by hardware and software vendors. Benefits of Intranet Implementation CTR's report, Multimedia Applications for Enterprise Intranets: A Guide to Planning and Implementation, examines the issues relevant to establishing multimedia intranets at the corporate level. Implementation of internal Web servers provides a single interface by which individuals, workgroups, and departments can actively communicate with each other. The report discusses the advantages and drawbacks of multimedia intranets and shows how network managers can guide an organization toward becoming a virtual corporation. Many corporations are moving to intranets and putting less value on the Internet - the report explains why. The report also covers critical topics such as technical requirements, scalability of multimedia tools, integrating intranets with existing legacy systems, high-performance equipment, and management of multimedia content. Multimedia Applications on Intranets An intranet enables a variety of valuable business applications, such as online publishing of corporate newsletters, employee services, company policy manuals, internal advertising for assistance and skills, and corporate news and information. Careful consideration of intranet applications is critical to enhancing the competitiveness and productivity of an organization's internal operations. [+]CTR's report provides detailed descriptions of the most common intranet functions. Special attention is given to multimedia applications such as interactive audio and video training, E-mail, real-time videoconferencing, whiteboarding, and virtual reality (VR) simulations.

The report takes a close look at multimedia networking technology, addressing important issues such as bandwidth, massive storage, compression systems, real-time transmission protocols, and networking equipment. Intranet Security Issues Many organizations are establishing intranets and linking them to outside networks such as WANs and the Internet. Unauthorized access to company resources is a growing concern at a time when more and more mission-critical applications are being placed on intranets. CTR's report offers valuable information that will help companies establish effective intranet security. The latest security techniques are discussed, such as implementation of firewalls and encryption technology. The report also explains the impact of these security measures on multimedia transmission.

Review Entrepreneurship And Economic Growth (International Library Lf Entrepreneurship) / Edward Elgar Publishing:‘Why do economies grow? For centuries this has been one of the most important questions in economics. The importance of this question is found in the simple fact that the purchasing power of the average individual has increased ten fold in just one hundred years. How do we explain this? Over the past decade there has been a revival of interest in this question after a period of inactivity. In particular, what has been of interest is what role individual entrepreneurs play in innovation, the key to economic growth. Written by leading scholars, mostly during the technological revolution of the 1990s, this volume provides a valuable collection of readings that explore the role of the entrepreneurship in economic growth. The articles are carefully chosen in five areas that advance our understanding of entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth. ’ – Zoltan J. Acs, George Mason University This authoritative volume presents a collection of the most influential and important articles dealing with the relationship between entrepreneurship and economic growth and development. The collection covers a range of key issues through which entrepreneurial activity may influence economic progress. The six broad themes in the book provide a general overview along with historical and country-specific studies, articles on entrepreneurship and innovation, details of endogenous growth models in which entrepreneurship plays a vital role, contributions on competition and productivity, and empirical evidence.

Review Social Institutions and Economic Performance: Studies of Industrial Relations in Advanced Capitalist Economies (SAGE Studies in Neo-corporatism) / SAGE Publications:Increasingly, the ability of Western capitalist economies to compete in the global marketplace is being called into question. While Japan has moved to the center of worldwide attention as a model of economic resiliency, the astonishing economic performance of Germany, argues Streeck, merits further study as well. As in Japan, the German economy is supported and governed by strong social institutions of a non-market character, particularly the political organization of economic interests of both capital and labor. In this fascinating volume, Streeck examines the institutional conditions necessary for a high-skill, high-wage economy; the social regulation of employment contracts; differences in the structure of business and labor's interest associations; the organization of small businesses in Germany; co-determination in German industry; the competitive success of the German automobile industry; and the influence of European integration on interest representation in Europe. Professionals and students in political science, sociology, industrial relations and business and management will find this volume to be of great interest and value. "Streeck provides a valuable consideration of the social arrangements which have contributed to German economic success. " -Sociology "For those who do not know Streeck's work, this is an ideal introduction to one of the most interesting thinkers in social science today, whose work defies easy characterization and spans sociology, economics, and political science. For those already familiar with his work, this collection confirms his high reputation. [+]Even when one disagrees with him, Streeck is rewarding to read. These essays move interest group theory to a new level and provide dim outlines of a new social democratic political economy. Along the way, they shed light on German political economy, and the process of European integration. This volume exemplifies the range and originality of Streeck's work. " -Economic and Industrial Democracy "Readers interested in industrial relations will find the book very interesting and insightful, especially about the rich institutional structure of Germany. Streeck's book will certainly stimulate theory on the implications of social institutions for other countries. " -Contemporary Sociology.
