By: Ray R. Venkataraman,Jeffrey K. Pinto

Cost and Value Management in Projects Project manager's guide to achieving cost efficiency and value optimization—thoroughly updated with new cases, examples, and problem sets The newly revised and updated Second Edition of Cost and Value Management in Projects provides project managers with a thorough understanding of the various dimensions of cost and value in projects, along with the factors that impact them and the managerial approaches for achieving cost efficiency and value optimization.

The Second Edition includes updates to key topic areas such as project benefits realization, updated end-of-chapter exercises such as discussion questions and problem sets, updated case studies, and new spreadsheet analytic techniques and examples. Written by two highly qualified authors with significant experience in the field, Cost and Value Management in Projects includes information on: Value management through value planning, engineering, and analysis from the perspective of projects, and best practices on how to avoid common pitfalls in managing cost and value Organization strategy and project selection, organization structure and culture, project definition (and contracts), and estimating project times and cost Developing project plans and schedules, managing risk, scheduling resources and cost, reducing project duration, leadership, performance measurement, and project closure Attainment of value in complex environmental settings and benefits of effective project management Cost and Value Management in Projects is an essential resource on the subject for stakeholders at all corporate and government levels, including executives measuring performance, middle level corporate managers, project and team managers, engineers, project team members, and business consultants, along with students in related programs of study.

Principles of Financial Regulation

By: John Armour,Dan Awrey,Paul Davies,Luca Enriques,Jeffrey N. Gordon,Colin Mayer,Jennifer Payne

The financial crisis of 2007-9 revealed serious failings in the regulation of financial institutions and markets, and prompted a fundamental reconsideration of the design of financial regulation. As the financial system has become ever-more complex and interconnected, the pace of evolution continues to accelerate. It is now clear that regulation must focus on the financial system as a whole, but this poses significant challenges for regulators. Principles of Financial Regulation describes how to address those challenges. Examining the subject from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective, Principles of Financial Regulation considers the underlying policies and the objectives of regulation by drawing on economics, finance, and law methodologies. The volume examines regulation in a purposive and dynamic way by framing the book in terms of what the financial system does, rather than what financial regulation is. By analysing specific regulatory measures, the book provides readers to the opportunity to assess regulatory choices on specific policy issues and encourages critical reflection on the design of regulation.

Selling Science in the Age of Newton

Advertising and the Commoditization of Knowledge

By: Jeffrey R. Wigelsworth

Selling Science in the Age of Newton explores an often ignored avenue in the popularization of science. It is an investigation of how advertisements in London newspapers (from approximately 1687 to 1727) enticed consumers to purchase products relating to science: books, lecture series, and instruments. London's readers were among the first in Europe to be exposed to regular newspapers and the advertisements contained in them. This occurred just as science began to captivate the nation's imagination due, in part, to Isaac Newton's rising popularity following the publication of his Principia (1687). This unique moment allows us to see how advertising helped shape the initial public reception of science. This book fills a substantial gap in our understanding of science and the culture in which it developed by examining the medium of advertising and its function in the discourse of both early-modern science and commerce. It answers questions such as: what happens to science once it is a commodity; how are consumers tempted to purchase science amidst a sea of other commodities; how is the reading public encouraged to give social acceptance to facts of nature; and how did marketing campaigns craft newspapers readers into a source of validation for the items of science advertised? In an age where the production of scientific knowledge increasingly relied upon sales to many rather than the endorsement of a single wealthy patron, marketing was the key to success.

Public-Private Partnership Projects in Infrastructure

An Essential Guide for Policy Makers

By: Jeffrey Delmon

Infrastructural investment is critical to economic growth, quality of life, poverty reduction, access to education, health care, and the achievement of many of the goals of a robust economy. But infrastructure is difficult for the public sector to get right. Public–private partnerships (PPPs) can help; they can provide more efficient procurement, focus on consumer satisfaction and lifecycle maintenance, and provide new sources of investment, in particular through limited recourse debt. But PPPs present challenges of their own. This book provides a practical guide to PPPs for policy makers and strategists, showing how governments can enable and encourage PPPs; providing a step-by-step analysis of the development of PPP projects; and explaining how financing works, what contractual structures look like, and how risk allocation works in practice. It includes specific discussion of each infrastructure sector, with a focus on the strategic and policy issues essential for successful development of infrastructure through PPPs. This second edition includes new sections on institutional frameworks, mechanisms for leveraging public financing, small scale PPP projects and more.
