The chronic poverty of many nations affects more than the citizens and economies of those nations; it threatens global stability as the pressures of immigration become unsustainable and rogue nations seek power and influence through extreme political and terrorist acts. To address this tenacious poverty, a vast array of international institutions has pumped billions of dollars into these nations in recent decades, yet despite this infusion of capital and attention, roughly five billion of the world's six billion people continue to live in poor countries. What isn't working? And how can we fix it? The Power of Productivity provides powerful and controversial answers to these questions. William W. Lewis, the director emeritus of the McKinsey Global Institute, here draws on extensive microeconomic studies of thirteen nations over twelve years-conducted by the Institute itself-to counter virtually all prevailing wisdom about how best to ameliorate economic disparity. Lewis's research, which included studying everything from state-of-the-art auto makers to black-market street vendors and mom-and-pop stores, conclusively demonstrates that, contrary to popular belief, providing more capital to poor nations is not the best way to help them. Nor is improving levels of education, exchange-rate flexibility, or government solvency enough. Rather, the key to improving economic conditions in poor countries, argues Lewis, is increasing productivity through intense, fair competition and protecting consumer rights. As The Power of Productivity explains, this sweeping solution affects the economies of poor nations at all levels-from the viability of major industries to how the average consumer thinks about his or her purchases. Policies must be enacted in developing nations that reflect a consumer rather than a producer mindset and an attendant sense of consumer rights. Only one force, Lewis claims, can stand up to producer special privileges-consumer interests. The Institute's unprecedented research method and Lewis's years of experience with economic policy combine to make The Power of Productivity the most authoritative and compelling view of the global economy today, one that will inform political and economic debate throughout the world for years to come.Industrial productivityEconomic policyCompetition, InternationalConsumption (Economics)Investments, ForeignWealthPovertyEconomic stabilizationEconomic developmentMicroeconomicsIndustrial productivity.Economic policy.Competition, International.Consumption (Economics)Investments, Foreign.Wealth.Poverty.Economic stabilization.Economic development.Microeconomics.338/.06Lewis William W.1942-1814974MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910955731603321The power of productivity4369246UNINA03397nam 22006015 450 991100748880332120250531130238.03-031-89432-410.1007/978-3-031-89432-9(CKB)39124532600041(DE-He213)978-3-031-89432-9(MiAaPQ)EBC32145197(Au-PeEL)EBL32145197(OCoLC)1522472110(EXLCZ)993912453260004120250531d2025 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierForest Harvest Scheduling From Linear Programming to Heuristic Search /by Pete Bettinger1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (XXV, 268 p. 75 illus., 60 illus. in color.)

Summary.This book provides a synthesis of methods that have been used in both practice and research to develop forest harvest schedules (plans of action) and to assess alternative policy scenarios. Beginning with exact mathematical methods (linear, mixed integer, and goal programming), the book provides a brief history of their conception, followed by an approachable description of the processes commonly employed to search a solution space for the optimal solution to a problem. Hill-climbing, random search, and binary search processes are then described as relatively simple alternatives to the exact methods. Heuristic search processes (threshold accepting, simulated annealing, tabu search, and genetic algorithms) are then described as semi-rational, biased alternatives to solving forest harvest scheduling problems. The closing remarks of the book provide context for the use of forest harvest scheduling in addressing today's contemporary forest management issues. In addition to a set of common-sense principles that are introduced throughout the book, provided in the book is a fifty-question exam associated with the content introduced.Springer Texts in Business and Economics,2192-4341Business logisticsProduction managementEarth sciencesGeographyLogisticsOperations ManagementEarth and Environmental SciencesBusiness logistics.Production management.Earth sciences.Geography.Logistics.Operations Management.Earth and Environmental Sciences.658.7Bettinger Peteauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1821899MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911007488803321Forest Harvest Scheduling4387847UNINA
