The key aim of the volume of original papers on the theory and practice of ODE featured in Organization Design and Engineering is to contribute towards overcoming the academic challenges stated above. A secondary aim is to launch the debate about ODE, including whether or not the debate itself is warranted.
Advanced Engineering Economics, Second Edition, provides an integrated framework for understanding and applying project evaluation and selection concepts that are critical to making informed individual, corporate, and public investment decisions. Grounded in the foundational principles of economic analysis, this well-regarded reference describes a comprehensive range of central topics, from basic concepts such as accounting income and cash flow, to more advanced techniques including deterministic capital budgeting, risk simulation, and decision tree analysis. Fully updated throughout, the second edition retains the structure of its previous iteration, covering basic economic concepts and techniques, deterministic and stochastic analysis, and special topics in engineering economics analysis. New and expanded chapters examine the use of transform techniques in cash flow modeling, procedures for replacement analysis, the evaluation of public investments, corporate taxation, utility theory, and more. Now available as interactive eBook, this classic volume is essential reading for both students and practitioners in fields including engineering, business and economics, operations research, and systems analysis.
Engineering Economy is meant as an introductory course for undergraduate students, and it explains and demonstrates the principles and techniques of engineering economic analysis as applied in different fields of engineering.
Covering the prediction of outcomes for engineering decisions through regression analysis, this succinct and practical reference presents statistical reasoning and interpretational techniques to aid in the decision making process when faced with engineering problems. The author emphasizes the use of spreadsheet simulations and decision trees as important tools in the practical application of decision making analyses and models to improve real-world engineering operations. He offers insight into the realities of high-stakes engineering decision making in the investigative and corporate sectors by optimizing engineering decision variables to maximize payoff.
Addresses some fundamental considerations associated with the engineering of large scale systems. The first part deals with systems methodology, design and management including a detailed examination of operational and task level system quality assurance through configuration management, audits and reviews, standards and systems integration. The second part discusses a variety of systems design and management approaches, particularly those concerned with system effectiveness evaluation and the human role in systems.
This book introduces the main concepts of microeconomics to upper division undergraduate students or first year graduate students who have undergone at least one elementary calculus course. The book fully integrates graphical and mathematical concepts and offers over 150 analytical examples demonstrating numerical solutions. The book has a strong theoretical basis but shows how microeconomics can be brought to bear on the real world. New Features for this edition include: an incorporation of the theory of stock externalities associated with greenhouse gases development of the section on insurance with particular reference to the new US healthcare program greater integration of game theoretic concepts throughout the book. The book’s style is accessible, but also rigorous. Mathematical examples are provided throughout the book, in particular for key concepts and the result is a balanced approach in terms of prose, graphics, and mathematics.
