Book DescriptionCost-benefit analysis is the only method of economic evaluation which can effectively indicate whether a health care treatment or intervention is worthwhile This book attempts to build a bridge between cost-benefit analysis, as developedby economists, and the health care evaluation literature which relies on other evaluation озиак approaches such as cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost-utility analysis Robert Brent explains the many different ways in which these othervaluation techniques can be converted into cost-benefit analysis and examines both the traditional (human capital) and modern (willingness to pay) approaches Case studies are used throughout to explain and illustrate the various methodologies being examined The author follows an applied economics approach, in which methods and ideas are evaluated according to practicability and not according to their theoretical purity Ultimately, he resolves a number of disputes and makes some new, but subtle, contributions by reinterpreting, correcting and extending existing work The book covers the topic in an accessible manner, from the foundations to the frontiers of the field, and clearly explains all the necessary economic principles along the way Cost-Benefit Analysis and Health Care Evaluations will be invaluable to students and researchers of economics, public policy and health care policy, as well as policymakers and health care practitioners.  2003 г ISBN 1840648449.

The Behavior-Based Safety Process Since the behavior-based approach to accident prevention was launched in 1980 by the author and his associates, safety performance is increasingly prominent on the agendas of many companies Several powerful factors contribute to this trend The widespread reorganization of personnel into work-groups that озиах are leaner and more self-directed, the increasing importance of international competition, the growing awareness of critical environmental issuesthese and relatedfactors highlight the value of any mechanism that promotes continuous improvement in safety performance Detailing a step-by-step approach to just such a mechanism for continuous improvement, The Behavior-Based Safety Process is a path-breaking guide that represents an important resource for anyone concerned with performance related issues in the workplace As the title indicates, the focus is on process versus programs The reason is simple: off-the-shelf safety imposed from the top down does notmeet the safety needs of most organizations This fact has been abundantly demonstrated in facility after facility throughout the 1970s and 1980s In genuinely meeting the need for continuous improvement in safety performance, the behavior-based approachpresents many parallels with the quality improvement process Both of these approaches use scientific methods to identify, measure, and provide feedback on upstream factors of excellence In the case of the behavior-based approach to safety, these upstream factors are critical behaviors that are the leading indicators of safety performance in the organization, targeting areas of concern in advance of even first-aid incidents For an in-depth treatment of how to integrate behavioral and statistical methodologies, see the authors companion volume from Van Nostrand Reinhold: Employee-Driven Systems for Safe Behavior In addition to presenting these parallels with quality The Behavior-Based Safety Process also provides powerful techniques aimed at implementation issues: organizational development, trainer-training, and employee involvement The author and his associates developed these techniques over a decade of consultation with a variety of industries, working closely in that time with such safety leaders as Monsanto, Shell Chemical Company, ARCO Chemical, ALCOA, Rohm and Haas, Scott Paper Company, Georgia Gulf Corporation, The Pillsbury Company, and Chevron U S A.  ISBN 047128758X.

As electric restructuring spreads rapidly across countries and states, leading industry experts are increasingly concerned that in many instances policy makers are pushing their proposals into practice more quickly than policy analysts can provide answers to difficult questions of market design In this process, different structures for озиаъ organizing this industry are evolving without a firm basic understanding of their implications for long-term market performance There is a risk that, in the process, we may be inadvertently locked into an inferior market design that will be costly to change Designing Competitive Electricity Markets develops some guiding principles to be used when evaluating alternative proposals for reorganizing the US electric power industry Preliminary versions of the papers in this book were presented at a Workshop convened by the Electric Power Research Institute and held at Stanford University in March 1997 The authors are prominent economists, operation researchers, and engineers who have been instrumental in the development of the conceptual framework for electric power restructuring both in the United States and in other countries Rather than espousing a particular market design for the industry's future, each author focuses on an important issue or set of issues and tries to frame the questions for designing electricity markets using an international perspective The book focuses on the economic and technical questions important in understanding the industry's long-term development rather than providing immediate answers for the current political debates on industry competition Extensive issues are covered, including: the role of the system operator; the problems of ensuring longer-term investment in expanding the transmission system, and in industry research and development; the problems in pricing that are created by arbitrarily segmenting related markets; the relationship between efficiency in the near and long term; ownership rights and incentives; and designing experiments to better understand the operation of different auction mechanisms The intended audience for this volume includes policy-makers, policy-oriented academics, and corporate leaders with an interest in designing workable and more efficient electricity markets The arguments in each chapter are based upon sound economic principles but do not require expertise in mathematical modeling or technical economic analysis.  ISBN 079238282X.

When it comes to implementing management practices that can propel a company to lasting success… WHAT REALLY WORKS? With hundreds of well-known management practices and prescriptions озивз promoted by consultants and available to businesses, which are really effective and contribute to the growth and continued success of a company? Which do little or nothing? In their groundbreaking new book, What Really Works, William Joyce, Nitin Nohria, and Bruce Roberson put forth findings that will revolutionize the art and practice of management Based on the Evergreen Project, a massive five-year study in which consultants and business school professors at top universities around the country analyzed ten years of data on 160 companies and more than 200 management practices, the authors discovered that all successful companies simultaneously master six specific management practices The 4+2 formula divides the practices into four primary practices, all of which must be followed, in the areas of - strategy - execution - culture - organization and any two of four secondary practices involving - talent of employees - leadership and governance - innovation - mergers and partnerships The authors also reveal which of the many management nostrums available do not contribute significantly to a company's performance Their findings on quality programs and information technology, for example, will shock their legions of adherents In What Really Works, the authors present their stunning findings through lively case studies focusing on companies they've designated Winners, Climbers, Tumblers, or Losers, depending on their performances over the ten-year period studied What Really Works singles out the areas that are truly important for management to focus on to achieve success Equally important, it shows readers where not to waste their efforts With these and other findings revealed, the authors have at last uncovered the real keys to true long-term business success and What Really Works.  Издательство: HarperBusiness 320 стр ISBN 0060513004.
