Sommario/riassunto

In The Competitive Advantage of Regions and Nations, the authors stress that companies, investment promotion agencies, and government bodies cannot simply sit and wait until new technologies arrive in their domain. Rather, they need to manage the identification, assessment, attraction, absorption and application of new technologies.In this comprehensive book, Boris Ricken and George Malcotsis explain how technology transfer in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects can be systematically managed. Using some 40 case studies as illustration, they give step-by-step guidance for managers.

"An accessible treatment of this crucial area of environmental chemistry, Polymers, the Environment and Sustainable Development, employs an interdisciplinary approach to tackle the problem of polymeric materials, inherent durability and subsequent persistence in the environment." "Each chapter provides a complete coverage of the main themes with directed further reading and revision exercises with sample questions and answers to consolidate the main issues addressed. Essential reading for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as an invaluable reference guide for technologists and industrialists, in the vast arena of environmental and polymer sciences."--Jacket.
