...administrative decisions and define the role of reviewing courts and other organs of govern’t in relation to a.a. Each particular field of regulation has its corresponding substantive and procedural law. AL as such deals with the general principles and rules that cut across the particular substantive fields and apply t a.a. generally. These principles include 3 basic bodies of law: (1) constitutional law; (2) statutory law, including above all the APA; (3) a form of federal com mon law, embodied in judicial decisions that do not have a clear constitutional or statutory source. REGULATION Aa are engaged in regulation. Regulatory agencies develop and enforce prohibitions or obligations with which private firms and/or individuals must comply (some agencies aren’t regulatory, but benefactor: they’re engaged in disbursing govern’t benefits). PROBLEMS THOUGHT TO CALL FOR (ADMINISTRATIVE) REGULATION One can imagine a govern’t without agencies, but no govern’t can avoid “regulation”. The common law is in fact a regulatory system, although outside the definition set out above: it depends on the creation and enforcement , by law, of a set of rights, notably those creating private property and enforceable contracts. The appropriate scope of govern’t regulation is of course strongly contested. MARKET FAILURES, ECONOMICALLY DEFINED One method of analyzing admin regulation is to view it as a response to “market failures”, treating the marketplace as the norm and assuming that those...

...Agoma@manhattan.edu JEL Classifications: G1, M4, O5 Keywords: Middle East Stock Exchanges, International Accounting Standards, GAAP, IASC 1. International Accounting Standards and Selected Middle East Stock Exchanges In an effort to generate comparable and reliable accounting information to help investors, creditors and others, each country has developed its own national financial accounting standards. These standards reflect the culture, history, and the characteristics of accounting problems facing that country. In some countries, the professional bodies formulate the financial accounting standards, while in many others governments and regulators establish these standards. As a result, much of the 20th century had witnessed a high degree of variation in the international accounting practices. International accounting diversity was one of the topics discussed in the tenth International Congress of Accountants in 1972. Accounting bodies of some countries attending the meeting were concerned in reducing the degree of variation in international accounting practices. As a result, in 1973, the International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) was formed. The founders of this Committee included accounting bodies from Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, West Germany, the United States, United Kingdom and Ireland. Harmonization of accounting standards around the world was one of the main objectives of this Committee. Harmonization can be defined as the...

...incorrectly was that they were railroad oriented instead of transportation oriented; they were product oriented instead of customer oriented.' Levitt's paper and the same principles still hold great relevance for present day businesses. From a client and market research consultancy perspective these are still amongst the key questions we are asking today. In market research if we define the competitive framework too narrowly our clients miss the big picture. Consumers are led by how their needs can be satisfied - it is immaterial to them what marketers call their products - end benefits determine which products/brands satisfy their needs. To take perhaps an extreme example, should hospitals today focus only on diagnosis, medicine, surgery and some post-treatment recuperation - or should they be looking at getting into...

...special librarian, I have gone through several cycles of economic downturn and recovery. What I have learned from experience is that there are both long-term and short-term techniques for weathering downturns. Most of these involve taking the long view and planning accordingly. Library Journal had an article in the Aug. 15, 2008, issue headlined “Future-Proof Your Library” [http://tinyurl.com/562xsd]. The article comprised some of the big ideas in the profession — great content, but I winced at the headline. Information professionals are not “future-phobic.” The future isn’t something we need protection from — it is what we plan for. Maybe I’d prefer a title like “How to Make Your Library Future-Philic.” This article will look at how both libraries or information centers and independent info pros can weather lean times. Note that I am not looking at situations in which libraries have to close or severely cut staff; my intention is to provide some general guidelines on how to address the pressures of an economic slowdown on a library or independent info pro business.
