With the collapse of France in 1940, American (US) and British (UK) leadership became keenly aware that the continued security of their nations required the defeat of the Axis powers, particularly Germany.

Free Download The Psychology of Strategic Terrorism: Public and Government Responses to Attack By Ben Sheppard
2008 | 272 Pages | ISBN: 0415471958 | PDF | 4 MB
This new volume explores terrorism and strategic terror, examining how the public responds to terrorist attacks, and what authorities can do in such situations. The book uses a unique interdisciplinary approach, which combines the behavioural sciences and international relations, in order to further the understanding of the ‘terror’ generated by strategic terror. The work examines five contemporary case studies of the psychological and behavioural effects of strategic terror, from either terrorist attacks or aerial bombardment. It also looks at how risk-communication and public-health strategies can amplify or reduce psychological and behavioural responses, and considers whether behavioural effects translate into political effects, and what governments can do to relieve this. Ultimately, the study argues that the public is not prone to panic, but can change their behaviours to reduce their perceived risk of being exposed to a terrorist attack. This book will be of much interest to students of terrorism studies, homeland security, social psychology and politics in general.

Free Download Page West, "Strategic Management: Value Creation, Sustainability, and Performance"
English | ASIN : B0CYGY5C91 | 2024 | 488 pages | PDF | 172 MB
Strategic Management 8e combines theory and practice, updated into 2024, in a unique and integrative approach to the study of strategic management. For instructors it emphasizes the value chain and resource-based sustainability as central integrating strategy concepts. For students it draws on the twin "strategic imperatives" of value creation and opportunity recognition as recurrent themes that help to sync ideas from cover to cover. Together these integrating mechanisms focus on the tension that exists between competing effectively in the present while preparing to compete effectively over the long run. Examples from highly competitive environments illustrate how traditional theoretical principles and analytical frameworks apply to today’s dynamic business climate. Grounded in contemporary strategic management theory, the book also exhibits a very practical approach. An early chapter is devoted exclusively to the key question of Strategy and Performance, which enables richer classroom discussions moving forward. Other chapters provide step-by-step guidance on actually putting strategy frameworks to use (e.g., how to conduct an industry analysis, how to do a resource analysis, how to conduct a value chain analysis) along with clear examples for each. Classroom-tested and peer-reviewed, the author employs an engaging writing style that appeals to students and instructors alike. This 8th edition updates the previous edition and continues its tradition of providing the most current industry and company data of any strategy text in the market.

Free Download Social Choice and Strategic Decisions: Essays in Honor of Jeffrey S. Banks By David Austen-Smith, John Duggan (auth.), David Austen-Smith, John Duggan (eds.)
2005 | 320 Pages | ISBN: 3540220534 | PDF | 21 MB
Social choices, about expenditures on government programs, or about public policy more broadly, or indeed from any conceivable set of alternatives, are determined by politics. This book is a collection of essays that tie together the fields spanned by Jeffrey S. Banks` research on this subject. It examines the strategic aspects of political decision-making, including the choices of voters in committees, the positioning of candidates in electoral campaigns, and the behavior of parties in legislatures. The chapters of this book contribute to the theory of voting with incomplete information, to the literature on Downsian and probabilistic voting models of elections, to the theory of social choice in distributive environments, and to the theory of optimal dynamic decision-making. The essays employ a spectrum of research methods, from game-theoretic analysis, to empirical investigation, to experimental testing. In the manner of Jeffrey S. Banks` research, these pieces focus on fundamental social scientific issues, such as the welfare properties of voting systems, the existence and characterization of electroral equilibria, and the impact of parties on political processes.

Free Download Mapping Strategic Diversity: Strategic Thinking from a Variety of Perspectives By Dany Jacobs
2009 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415550238 | PDF | 3 MB
In his influential work, Strategy Safari, Henry Mintzberg and his colleagues presented ten schools of strategic thought. In this impressive book, Dany Jacobs demonstrates that the real world of strategic management is much wider and richer. In Mapping Strategic Diversity, Jacobs distinguishes between ‘cockpit theories’ of strategy, which bring rational analysis to the forefront, and process-oriented social science approaches, which bring in a wider array of influences to the theory and practice of business planning. Presenting 22 different approaches to strategy making, this book: provides a comprehensive overview of the field guides the reader in developing theoretical and practical skills helps develop both high and low level strategic thinking This textbook is a useful analysis for practising managers, but really comes into its own as an advanced introduction to the field of strategic management; having read this book, students are fully armed to enter the strategy jungle!

2005 | 744 Pages | ISBN: 3540205624 | PDF | 7 MB
More countries are now using Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) than ever before. This timely and comprehensive Handbook describes the implementation of SEA in 18 countries around the world, as well as a critical analysis of different SEA methodologies. The Handbook starts by introducing key SEA principles and the legal requirements of the new European SEA Directive (which became law in 2004). It then describes the implementation of SEA in 11 European Union countries, as well as the USA, Canada and New Zealand. This is contrasted with SEA requirements of four developing countries. The Handbook explores public participation issues and the wide-range of SEA methodologies used in terms of resources (soils, water and biodiversity) and sectors of activity (transport, agriculture, waste management and industry). The Handbook concludes with a discussion on best practice, capacity building and the future of SEA.
