The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, Authorized Edition
The definitive report on what caused America's economic meltdown- and who was responsible. The financial and economic crisis has touched the lives of millions of Americans who have lost their jobs and their homes, but many have little understanding of how it happened. Now, in this very accessible report, readers can get the facts. Formed in May 2009, the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission (FCIC) is a panel of 10 commissioners with experience in business, regulations, economics, and housing, chosen by Congress to explain what happened and why it happened. This panel has had subpoena power that enabled them to interview people and examine documents that no reporter had access to. The FCIC has reviewed millions of pages of documents, and interviewed more than 600 leaders, experts, and participants in the financial markets and government regulatory agencies, as well as individuals and businesses affected by the crisis. In the tradition of The 9/11 Commission Report, The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report will be a comprehensive book for the lay reader, complete with a glossary, charts, and easy-to-read diagrams, and a timeline that includes important events. It will be read by policy makers, corporate executives, regulators, government agencies, and the American people
Business Process Analytics
The fourth edition of this widely used textbook offers a new perspective. Previously titled Business Process Modeling, Simulation and Design, as the new title suggests, this book is about analytical business process modeling and design. However, this new edition introduces analytics to the title and to the presentation.The main objective of this book is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the multitude of analytical tools that can be used to model, analyze, understand, and ultimately design business processes.The most flexible and powerful of these tools, although not always the most appropriate, is discrete-event simulation. The wide range of approaches covered in this book include graphical flowcharting tools, deterministic models for cycle time analysis and capacity decisions, and analytical queuing methods, as well as machine learning.The authors focus on business processes as opposed to just manufacturing processes or general operations management problems and emphasize on simulation modeling using state-of-the-art commercial simulation software.Business Process Analytics: Modeling, Simulation, and Design can be thought of as a hybrid between traditional books on process management, operations management, and simulation. The growing interest in simulation-based tools suggests that an understanding of simulation modeling, its potential as well as its limitations for analyzing and designing processes, is of key importance to students looking for a future career in operations management.Changes from the previous edition include the following: New section on data-driven process improvement (with data visualization) Added a subsection of control charts to the 6-sigma section Replaced business process reengineering with business process management Updated all text, figures, examples, and exercises to ExtendSim10 (current version) More coverage on design of experiments More coverage of machine learning and neural networks

Stakeholder Capitalism and Corporate Governance in Japan
Japan has long been regarded as an exemplar of a stakeholder model of corporate governance, where the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, and the wider community, in addition to shareholders, are taken into account in decision-making. However, Japan's traditional stakeholder-focused corporate governance model is facing new pressures as the economy has undergone changes, including increasing foreign share ownership, calls for more transparency and a shift towards UK and US-style corporate governance. This book provides an in-depth analysis of Japan's changes and challenges in balancing the interests of shareholders and stakeholders in corporate governance. The first section of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the history of corporate governance in Japan and its evolution. It includes information on the key regulatory and legal frameworks, including the Companies Act and the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. The second section delves into the implementation of the Abenomics corporate governance reforms and their impact on Japan's corporate landscape. It also includes information on the codes of Stewardship (2014) and Corporate Governance (2015). The final part provides an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by Japanese companies in terms of corporate governance and the prospects of further corporate governance reforms in Japan. It discusses the convergence trend of Japan's traditional bank-based, stakeholder-orientated corporate governance model and a shareholder value-driven corporate governance system in the UK and the US. This book is aimed at executives, policymakers, business leaders, academics, and anyone interested in the future of business and corporate governance. It will be of particular interest to those interested in learning about the unique approach to stakeholder capitalism and corporate governance that has been developed in Japan and how this approach is shaping the future of business worldwide.
