Metals Trading Handbook - A Market Companion for Users of the London Metal Exchange (Hardcover): Paddy Crabbe Metals Trading Handbook - A Market Companion for Users of the London Metal Exchange (Hardcover)
Paddy Crabbe
R3,411 Discovery Miles 34 110 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Metals Trading Handbook, by Paddy Crabbe, offers an invaluable training manual and reference source for anyone working within the non ferrous metals industry or trading on the London Metal Exchange. At the core of its thorough analysis lies the principle that simple explanation and minimal jargon are invaluable to the practitioner.
Metals Trading Handbook offers positive advice and stimulation to those concerned with the pricing and delivery risks of non ferrous metals. It starts with simple fundamentals and moves onto more complex situations. Its central aim is to give the reader essential building blocks with which to develop a more proactive approach to solving everyday problems. The text examines the way the LME operates, how prices are formed, the significance and timing of "official settlement" prices, how risk in the forward markets occurs and changes, how risk builds up, methods of recognition and hedging the exposure to priced metal, the impact on valuations (marking to market), profit and loss and cashflow.
This is essential for those already involved in the metals business and also for the financial, investment and advisory community internationally.

Andrew Agapiou
R2,521 Discovery Miles 25 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Construction disputes by their very nature are often complex, sometimes multi-party disputes, many of which are not suited to either adjudication or traditional form of litigation (which are often slow, expensive and divisive). The sheer complexity of construction creates a compelling case for the introduction of alternative approaches within this adversarial industry. This book traces the history, development, current status and future direction of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in the UK construction industry. It draws on the largest collection of Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors-funded surveys on Scottish and English disputants' perceptions and attitudes to ADR. It includes an examination of the key legislative and regulatory principles relating to ADR in the Construction sphere. The study also evaluates the role and functions of the Technology and Construction Court (TCC) in England and, with reference to case law, identifies its facilitative approach to ADR. The coherence of the TCC's approach to issues such as refusal to resort to ADR is also examined. It will be a valuable reference work for scholars and practitioners in construction and the built environment, in the UK and internationally.

Chikayoshi Nomura
R4,605 Discovery Miles 46 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This monograph aims to analyze the economic and business history of colonial India from a corporate perspective by clarifying the historical role of institutional developments based on archival evidence of a representative enterprise. The perspective is distinctively unique in that it highlights the salience of corporate-level institutional responses to explain the causes of colonial India's industrial growth, in addition to two renowned perspectives focusing on government economic policy or factor endowment. One of the driving forces of India's high growth rate since the 1980s is the expansion of modern business corporations whose origins date back to the colonial era in the mid-nineteenth century. This monograph explores the historical foundation of the growth of such corporations in colonial India, guided by a substantial collection of documents of Tata Iron and Steel Company, whose rich records have not received the due attention they have long deserved. As clarified by numerous economic and business historians of leading industrialized countries since the works of Douglass North and Alfred Chandler, this study as well proposes that the development of modern business corporations in colonial India was broadly supported by the reciprocal evolution of economic institutions and corporate organizations. Adding a new perspective to the business and economic history of colonial India, the analysis also provides an important case study of the development of corporate business in the non-Western world to the study of global business history.

R2,877 Discovery Miles 28 770 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

How does a market globalize? How do antitrust and trade policies speed up or slow down the process? How do firms take part in it? The book offers a comprehensive appraisal of the phenomenon from a thorough study of the cement industry. Considered as a model of spatial competition in economic textbooks and inherently local, the industry globalized in the 1980s. Hence, the originality of the book to deal with an extreme case that highlights the fundamental characteristics of globalization.
