Brian Kettell, "Economics for Financial Markets (Quantitative Finance)"

Successful trading, speculating or simply making informed decisions about financial markets means it is essential to have a firm grasp of economics. Financial market behaviour revolves around economic concepts, however the majority of economic textbooks do not tell the full story.

To fully understand the behaviour of financial markets it is essential to have a model that enables new information to be absorbed and analysed with some predictive implications. That model is provided by the business cycle.

'Economics for Financial Markets' takes the reader from the basics of financial market valuation to a more sophisticated understanding of the actions that traders take which ultimately drives the volatility in the financial markets.

The author shows traders, investment managers, risk managers and finance professionals how to distil the flow of information and show what needs to be concentrated on, covering topics such as:

* Why are financial markets subject to economic fashions?
* How has the New Economy changed financial market behaviour?
* Does the creation of the euro fundamentally change the behaviour of the currency markets?

Shows how to distil the vast amount of information in financial markets and identify what is important
Demonstrates how the "New Economy" had changed financial market behaviour
Explains how to follow the behaviour of central banks

RoyE. Johnson, "Shareholder Value: A Business Experience "

Review
"All MBA students and recent graduates should read this book. It uses some of the modern finance concepts that are now standard in the MBA curriculum. That"s the easy part. Roy Johnson"s book will also give you an appreciation of the hard part - how to get people in business to understand and effectively use modern finance concepts. Readers will learn a lot about finance and, more importantly, about changing a firm"s culture toward a focus on value creation. Observations from an extensive corporate and consulting career breathe life into the characters, making this book an extremely informative and interesting read."

Vijay Krishna, "Auction Theory "

Review
"Vijay Krishna's book provides a very thorough and patient presentation of auction theory, starting from the most basic analysis and graduating to sophisticated, state of the art theory, including multi-unit auctions. This book covers a very wide range of auction topics, providing a clear and accessible treatment. The theory is presented in a careful and easily understood style accessible to honors undergraduates as well as all economics graduate students. Krishna's book will certainly become the central book on auction theory."
--R. Preston McAfee, Murray S. Johnson Chair in Economics, University of Texas
"This book not only sets out much of the theoretical literature on auctions--including results that are very recent--but does so with a clarity, elegance, and rigor that is characteristic of Vijay Krishna's work."
--Eric Maskin, A.O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey, U.S.A.
"The book gives a superb presentation of auction theory, with clear and concise proofs of all results. It is essential reading for any serious student of auctions."
--Peter Cramton, Professor of Economics, University of Maryland
"This is the book we have been waiting for: a high level treatment of auction theory that carefully presents the technical details necessary for an in depth understanding of the main themes of auction theory, ideal as a basis for a graduate course, and by an author who has himself made important contributions to the subject."
--Paul Klemperer, Edgeworth Professor of Economics, Nuffield College, University of Oxford, U.K.

Tony Wild, "Best Practice in Inventory Management, Second Edition"

Good management of inventory enables companies to improve their customer service, cash flow and profitability. 'Best Practice in Inventory Management' outlines the basic techniques, how and where to apply them, and provides advice to ensure they work to produce the desired effect in practice.

The book shows how inventory management techniques can be used in a wide variety of situations, particularly in stores where the inventory can be anything from fast moving products to slow moving spares. The discussion extends across distribution warehousing and manufacturers' operations.

The text is based on best theory and practice, which has been gradually developed by the inventory management profession over the years. It covers the inventory control aspects included in the courses for the DPIM, COM, DLM, CPIM and other professional and academic qualifications.

Readers develop their understanding of stock control by seeing the techniques explained logically and learn how inventory structuring, individual item control, forecasting and co-ordination provide the base for logistics management. This new edition has been up-dated throughout and the final chapter, The Future - Inventory and Logistics, has been re-written to reflect the developing applications of technology and changes in focus.

Explains how inventory management techniques achieve low stocks and improved customer serviceActs as a practical manual for making improvements in stock control and for saving moneyCovers the syllabi of the DPIM, COM, DLM and other professional and academic qualifications

Review
'It is a superior book in many ways to existing leading textbooks on strategic management. The concern with moving from theory to practice will be very appealing to an increasingly sophisticated management readership.'
Professor Paul Joyce, University of North London

'It is one of the few books that is both conceptually sound, covering as it does the latest contemporary strategic thinking and developments, plus the appropriate attention to the application and implementation of strategic change, an area so often either ignored or treated superficially. The fourth edition will be essential reading...'
Professor Graham Beaver, MBA Director, Nottingham Business School

'Comprehensive, well-researched and penetrating.'
David Campbell, Lecturer in Strategic Management, Newcastle Business School

'Excellent coverage.'
Professor Adrian Woods, Dean of Social Sciences, Brunel University
