Book Description

Market-defining since it was first introduced, International Business, 4e by Charles W. L. Hill, continues to set the standard for international business textbooks. Charles Hill’s reputation as a leading thinker and actor in the international arena precede him, and he is regularly asked to explain world economic events on National Public Radio. His expertise lends itself to a book that is thorough and up-to-date. Because many issues in international business are complex, they necessitate exploration of pros and cons of economic theories, government policies, business strategies, organizational structures, etc. The author challenges the often shallow explanations that other books offer, while maintaining a tight integrated flow between the chapters. Hill’s book is practical in nature, focusing on managerial implications of each topic on the actual practice of international business. The author’s passion and enthusiasm for the international business arena is apparent on every page as he strives to make important theories interesting, informative, and accessible to all students.

Hill's International Business.......2007-09-27

Great book for my MBA course in International Business. It is well organized, full of clearly defined principles, and loaded with case studies.

Don't waste your money.......2007-06-28

I think that these reviews are for the textbook and not for this "outline." This product is nothing but a glossary and binder paper. It isn't worth half the price. I'm very, very disappointed. Most of the definitions are repeated in other chapters and it gives definitions for words like "Disney," and "Accounting." This thing is completely useless to me.

Culture, Economics, Stategy, and Corportate Functions.......2007-05-17

I've used previous editions of this text in my international business course, and have decided to adopt this one as well. The text does a great job of hitting every topic that international business people/corporations need to know. The text covers country differences, economics, strategy, and corporate functions.
Another Amazon review incorrectly suggested that the author of this text is biased politically and in favor of larger firms. If the author intended to introduce a political bias in the text he certainly could have done it with the cases, but it is clear from reading such cases as the Kellogg Brown & Root case on page 190 that the author has no particular axe to grind. It is, in short, simply impossible to guess the author's political orientation.
The book also has no bias in favor of larger firms. The business school in which I teach is (in fact) oriented towards entrepreneurship and smaller firms. The text was selected, in part, because the information imparted would be just as valuable to small firms as it would be to the large. The author specifically addresses the topic of "mini-multinationals" as well as topics that would be of interest primarily to smaller firms.

Bias written into text.......2007-05-13

If you don't mind your information being written from the Western, pro Big-Business, capitalist view, the bias conveyed throughout the text won't be a problem. But if you are looking for something objective, something to fairly present the concepts associated with globalization, search elsewhere.

In the first two chapters alone, several instances of bias are written into the text. For example, in the first chapter, protesters of the WTO are referred to as "anarchists" and in the second chapter the difference between communists and social democrats is claimed to be that communists use violence in their revolutions. This is clearly not the case. While historically this may be true of the revolts, this is not even close to the fundamental difference between the two groups. For the first example, it can be seen that thousands of people gather to protest the WTO and it is certain that a select few, if any, consider themselves anarchists.

It is clear where the author stands!

Book Description

Fundamentals of Digital Logic with Verilog Design is intended for an introductory course in digital logic design, which is a basic course in most Electrical and Computer Engineering programs. The authors provide a desirable balance between classical and modern design approaches. Basic concepts are introduced using simple logic circuits, which are designed by using both manual techniques and modern CAD-tool-based methods. Having established the fundamental concepts, more complex, realistic circuits are then designed with the CAD tools. The Verilog language is an integral part of design techniques used throughout the book. Altera's advanced Max plus II CAD systmem (on CD-ROM) and a series of step-by-step tutorials are included.

The publishers have just reprinted the book, with new page breaks. The only addition that I can see are solutions to select problems, tacked on at the very end. Get a used copy, save some money, and buy other good books out there!

Good deal.......2005-09-23

Faster than expected delivery and still in decent condition. Even has cd though outdated. Overall, very satisfied.

Indepth tutorial for developers.......2002-09-09

I read this book in the bus in my way to work and just this reading gave me every thing I need to know as a developer. Topics covered are programming, interface with CICS, create db2 objects, understanding Explain.
Thanks to the authers

Most user friendly.......1998-02-03

I feel that Mr. Ranade has done a great job by writing such a reader friendly book but i feel that a topic that needs a little bit more evaluation is the Field proc and the edit proc and how they can be applied on a table so that it facilitates the sorting of data according tothe user needs.

Book Description

This heavily revised edition of the well-received text teaches the organization and design of complex digital systems. Unique in its effective exploitation of a hardware description language, this book's systematic approach involves the reader in the design process. Rather than just describe an end product, the authors employ a register-transfer and control-sequence design language--A Hardware Program Language (AHPL), through which the design of a wide variety of digital hardware systems is explored. Text contains much new material, as well as sections on peripherals, interfacing, microprocessors, hardware compiling processes, and virtual memory hardware. Includes extensive examples and problems sets.

This book is a good source for beginners who wants learn to manipulate the files and use simple TSO commands in MVS/TSO area. Illustration with screen samples are superb. As a guide for developers, I did not find the author handling the subject in depth.

Using a Macintosh or Windows computer, readers will get hands-on experience in developing a real technology-based training system.

Customer Reviews:

Good Train, bad technology.......1998-08-28

"Multimedia Training" is an excellent book for CBT and the techniques of making the training as effective and fun as possible. The examples are good but use Macromedia's Authorware 3 with the files using Authorware 2 formats. The current version of the program is 4. The files do not open, the features of the program do not work and with the changes make to create version 4 make the notation obsolete and confusing. Again the training ideas are great but the delivery system has to be updated. Since the heart of Computer Based Training is handling change, this book fails in its own backyard.

Excellent hands on guide. However..........1997-05-13

I found this book an excellent introduction to the development of TBL methods and software. The authors obviously know what they are writing about. My only complaint is that none of the lessons included as examples on the accompanying disk work as the book suggests. Specifically, the *.apw files which are supposed to open "when double-clicked in file manager" come up with a "feature not activated" comment. This is a pity. It would have been useful to see the working version of the example(s) before doing the lesson

This is a good overview.......1997-08-15

This book provides a good overview of the AS/400 system. This book takes a system that can seem like a maze of confusion and provides a simple, yet concise explanation of it. This includes how to navigate around the system. This book proiveds a good overview of the command language (CL) that enable you to navigate around the system as well as discussions on the menus the AS/400 provides which is basically the alternative way to navigate around the system. Also it discusses security considerations, provides a good overview of objects, libraries and files, etc. and gives a good understanding of the nifty tools available to programmers as well as what languages can be used on the system. It also provides discussions on topics such as networking, performance tuning and migration to the AS/400 system. In other words this book is a great starting place but if you want to dig deeper into the topics the book discusses you will need other material. If there is anything I have against the book, there are not enough hands on examples given for practicing the concepts given. You will have to come up with your own. This is also a very good reference source if you forget concepts
