Organizational Design Literature ConsideredOver the past decade, especially, U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) intelligence has had to tailor its organization to meet the evolving demands of the operational environment. This has resulted in a number of ad hoc arrangements, practices, and organizations. A broad review of the organizational design of USMC intelligence examined how to align it efficiently and effectively with current and future missions and functions.Business strategybicsscDefence strategy, planning & researchbicsscEspionage & secret servicesbicsscBusinessHistoryPolitical ScienceBusiness strategyDefence strategy, planning & researchEspionage & secret services359.9/63432Paul Christopher905756Paul Christopher905756National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)Rand Corporation.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910219982903321Alert and ready2188978UNINA04692nam 22006255 450 991025271190332120230126215658.03-319-53745-810.1007/978-3-319-53745-0(CKB)3850000000027361(DE-He213)978-3-319-53745-0(MiAaPQ)EBC6312872(MiAaPQ)EBC5577977(Au-PeEL)EBL5577977(OCoLC)1066199780(EXLCZ)99385000000002736120170421d2017 u| 0engurnn|008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCohort Change Ratios and their Applications /by Jack Baker, David A.

It presents powerful, yet relatively simple ways to generate accurate demographic estimates and forecasts that are cost efficient and require fewer resources than other techniques. The concepts, analytical frameworks, and methodological tools presented do not require extensive knowledge of demographics, mathematics, or statistics. The demographic focus is on the characteristics of populations, especially age and sex composition, but these methods are applicable estimating and forecasting other characteristics and total population. The book contains more traditional applications such as the Hamilton-Perry method, but also includes new applications of the CCR method such as stable population theory. Real world empirical examples are provided for every application; along with excel files containing data and program code, which are accessible online. Topics covered include basic demographic measures, sources of demographic information, forecasting and estimating (both current and historical) populations, modifications to current methods, forecasting school enrollment and other characteristics, estimating life expectancy, stable population theory, decomposition of the CCR into its migration and mortality components, and the utility of the CCR. This textbook is designed to provide material for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course on demographic methods. It can also be used as a supplement for other courses including applied demography, business and economic forecasting and market research.DemographyStatisticsMathematicsSocial sciencesDemographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000Statistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S17040Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M32000Demography.Statistics.Mathematics.Social sciences.Demography.Statistics for Social Sciences, Humanities, Law.Mathematics in the Humanities and Social Sciences.300Baker Jackauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063722Swanson David Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTayman Jeffauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autTedrow Lucky Mauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910252711903321Cohort Change Ratios and their Applications2534140UNINA
