Lannoo Publishers Saved by the Tree Frog: A Bright Future for
Book Synopsis The twenty-first century began with an ecological shutdown, a climatic breakdown, a financial meltdown, and a virological lockdown. Without systemic change, twenty years from now we will be haunted more by the things we didn’t do than by the things we did. That change is possible, if we can cure ourselves from our addiction to short-term investments, and turn them into long-term, planet-saving investments in nature. Saved by the Tree Frog puts forward how agriculture, politics and economy can reinforce each other. It explores the ways in which we can bring about real change, and transform into a sustainable and thriving society. Saved by the Tree Frog tells us what we can do to turn the tide, and offers an innovative insight into our fundamental dependence on nature. It is the way to a sustainable future – if only we are brave enough to take the plunge.

Central European University Press Corporate Stakeholder Democracy: Politicizing
Book SynopsisMost practitioners and decision makers look at corporate social responsibility (CSR) as a socially responsible management practice on top of what company leaders normally do: focus on the sustainable, long term financial profitability of their corporation. This book focuses on a political understanding of CSR: the author bridges politics corporate social responsibility and in a creative and provocative manner. Braun seeks to explore why and how corporations are to be seen as political entities with important roles in our current societies. The first part discusses the social context, the various stakeholder approaches and it also endeavors – with the help of the historic/political parallel of the bourgeois revolutions in the 19th century – to define the corporate polity. The second part analyses the new kind of operational logic from the viewpoint of the different areas of corporate operation; it gives an overview of the consequences for the individual areas of operation and indicates how corporate policy can be realized in the given field of operation. The third part of the book introduces the institutions necessary for the creation of the corporate polity.Table of ContentsIntroduction PART I THE THEORY OF RESPONSIBILITY 1. Responsibility 2. Stakeholders 3. Corporate politics – stakeholder democracy PART II APPLYING RESPONSIBILITY 4. Responsible corporate management 5. Responsible operation 6. Responsible marketing 7. Responsible finances 8. Responsible Research and Innovation PART III THE OPERATION OF CSR 9. Standards and guidelines 10. Stakeholder inclusiveness and democracy List of References

Springer Verlag, Singapore Computation of Greeks Using the Discrete
Book SynopsisThis book presents new computation schemes for the sensitivity of options using the binomial tree and introduces readers to the discrete Malliavin calculus. It also shows that applications of the discrete Malliavin calculus approach to the binomial tree model offer fundamental tools for computing Greeks.The binomial tree approach is one of the most popular methods in option pricing. Although it is a fairly traditional model for option pricing, it is still widely used in financial institutions since it is tractable and easy to understand. However, the book shows that the tree approach also offers a powerful tool for deriving the Greeks for options. Greeks are quantities that represent the sensitivities of the price of derivative securities with respect to changes in the underlying asset price or parameters. The Malliavin calculus, the stochastic methods of variations, is one of the most popular tools used to derive Greeks. However, it is also very difficult to understand for most students and practitioners because it is based on complex mathematics. To help readers more easily understand the Malliavin calculus, the book introduces the discrete Malliavin calculus, a theory of the functional for the Bernoulli random walk. The discrete Malliavin calculus is significantly easier to understand, because the functional space of the Bernoulli random walk is realized in a finite dimensional space. As such, it makes this valuable tool far more accessible for a broad readership.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Single-Period Model.- Multiple Time Model.- Application to Finance.- Spectral Binomial Tree.- Short Introduction to Malliavin Calculus in Continuous Time Model.- Discrete Malliavin Greeks.

Austin Macauley Publishers FZE A Young Investor with an Engineering Degree
Book SynopsisWe live in a world where society agrees that a degree in a certain field and a job with fixed pay is all you need to live a successful, stress-free life. A Young Investor with an Engineering Degree challenges this dogma and explains in simple terms why a degree alone is not sufficient. This book aims to open new doors for other sources of income you thought were closed and explains why people are hesitant to invest in the first place. Most importantly, this book explains the subject of investment in simple terms assuming you know nothing of it, and provides the necessary exposure you need to embark on your investment journey, so don't worry. You have the choice whether to invest or not, but at the very least understand its minimum. It proves, theoretically and practically, that investment isn't a difficult subject after all. It emphasizes the importance of keeping things simple, and how investing could aid you on the long-run. This isn't a book you only want, it's a book you both want

Amplify Publishing The Purposeful Decision Maker
Book SynopsisThe Purposeful Decision Maker presents Pádraig Ó Céidigh's groundbreaking and holistic approach to decision-making in life and business. He explores both his own rich experience and the most up-to-date thinking in this area to arrive at a methodology for making great decisions consistently.The process begins with the concept of safe harbor: the people, places, and principles that are most important to you. Making great decisions is all about protecting that safe harbor and ensuring your actions are consistent with who you are at your core. Pádraig then explores the different analytic approaches required to distill information into actionable knowledge. He shows how the unseen biases that lurk beneath so many critical decisions can be drawn into the light.Instinct plays a critical role in all human interactions. Sometimes going with one's gut makes sense; sometimes a more detached analysis is required. The skill lies in knowing which situation is which. Pádraig also demonstrates how experience is an excellent teacher. When we have the courage to objectively explore our own history, we discover an excellent source of critical knowledge.Entrepreneurs dance with this risk in order to create something new and exciting in the world. Pádraig shines a light on risk and entrepreneurial decision-making. What are the best ways of quantifying, monitoring, and mitigating this risk? He addresses the critical area of unintended consequences and the means of revealing them early in the decision-making cycle. An approach to group decision-making completes a framework that is as brilliant as it is intuitive.
