Abstract:

The monograph presents current trends in the management of internal reserves to reduce the cost of production of machine-building enterprises. The approaches of various scientists to the interpretation of the concept of "enterprise reserve" are analyzed. The classification of the types of reserves of the enterprise is given and supplemented by the classification of the resources that form the reserve. Methodological support for the management of internal reserves for reducing the cost of industrial products and methods for identifying them are presented. A technology for studying the cost of p

Abstract:

The focus of this chapter is on the application of the Cost-Benefit Principle to technological issues. Cost-benefit analysis is not a single, well-defined methodology but rather a set of slightly different, formalized techniques for weighing costs against benefits in a systematic manner. Four criteria for mainstream cost-benefit analysis are stated, and a paradigm case to which all those techniques are applicable is identified. How the Cost-Benefit Principle can take rights and other deontological constraints into account in a systematic manner is also explained. The conclusion is that the Cos

This chapter reveals a central feature of liability by showing the divergence of the outcomes of exchange governed by corrective justice from systemically efficient allocation of resources, and discusses the role of norms in liability systems. The modern economic approach to externality is traced to Pigou, whose normative objective of allocating all resources efficiently across an entire system has been almost universally adopted by contemporary economists. When the actual imposition of a liability price is uncertain, Pigou prescribes probability scaling, increasing the liability price imposed

Important new knowledge has identified the nature and importance of demand side factors like skill utilisation and the social determinants of skill development and outcomes. Despite this analytical flourishing, the reality of who pays for skills is becoming more narrowly defined as a ‘personal benefit’, the cost burden of which is shifting from businesses and nation states to individuals.

Robust treatment predictors, moderators, and mediators have not been identified other than rapid response as a predictor of outcome for cognitive-behavioral guided self-help, which may be useful in informing stepped care treatment.

Abstract:

This chapter identifies the environmental conditions favorable to voluntary exchange and those susceptible to external cost imposition, and the consequences of each for efficiency. When someone takes a legally recognized right from another without consent or compensation, an external cost is imposed. Externality is theft. There’s no externality until the law gives the cost bearer a right to be free of the costs imposed, so imposing an external cost means stealing this right, or entitlement, which always creates an injustice for the law that requires a liability proceeding to force the cost imp
