Corporate Political Strategies of Private Chinese Firms (Hardcover): Hao Ma, Shu Lin, Neng Liang Corporate Political Strategies of Private Chinese Firms (Hardcover)
Hao Ma, Shu Lin, Neng Liang
R1,498 Discovery Miles 14 980 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book is about how Chinese entrepreneurs deal with China's most important institution--the government in their struggle to survive and even prosper in China's transitional economy. It takes an "inside look" at several private firms in China and provides a firsthand account, as well as the underlying rationale and decision considerations, of their corporate political strategy. The book is based firmly on solid academic research but actually written with both practitioners and scholars in mind. It offers candid and insightful quotes and observations from the owners and executives of China's private firms with regards to their dealing with the government.

This book advances a typology of corporate political strategies based on the respective motivations of the business (the entrepreneurs and their firms) and the government (the government institutions and individual officials) as well as the modes of their interactions. Eight different types of political strategies by China's private firms are identified and illustrated with real-life examples, ranging from one-night-stand, situational shopper, good-ole-friend, patronage seeker, model volunteer, institutional improviser, direct participator, to red hat insider. The book also dissects a living case and traces the development of one particular private firm, from its humble start-up to present day glory, which fittingly illustrates the evolution and dynamics of the various types of political strategies the firm employed at different stages of its growth.

For anyone who wants to understand China's private firms and the Chinese government, thus be able to deal with them more effectively, this book is a must-read.

Trellises and Trellis-Based Decoding Algorithms for Linear Block Codes (Hardcover, 1998 ed.): Shu Lin, Tadao Kasami, Toru... Trellises and Trellis-Based Decoding Algorithms for Linear Block Codes (Hardcover, 1998 ed.)
Shu Lin, Tadao Kasami, Toru Fujiwara, Marc Fossorier
R4,523 Discovery Miles 45 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

As the demand for data reliability increases, coding for error control becomes increasingly important in data transmission systems and has become an integral part of almost all data communication system designs. In recent years, various trellis-based soft-decoding algorithms for linear block codes have been devised. New ideas developed in the study of trellis structure of block codes can be used for improving decoding and analyzing the trellis complexity of convolutional codes. These recent developments provide practicing communication engineers with more choices when designing error control systems. Trellises and Trellis-based Decoding Algorithms for Linear Block Codes combines trellises and trellis-based decoding algorithms for linear codes together in a simple and unified form. The approach is to explain the material in an easily understood manner with minimal mathematical rigor. Trellises and Trellis-based Decoding Algorithms for Linear Block Codes is intended for practicing communication engineers who want to have a fast grasp and understanding of the subject. Only material considered essential and useful for practical applications is included. This book can also be used as a text for advanced courses on the subject.

Juane Li, Shu Lin, Khaled Abdel-Ghaffar, William E. Ryan, Daniel J. Costello Jr
R2,488 Discovery Miles 24 880 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Written by leading experts, this self-contained text provides systematic coverage of LDPC codes and their construction techniques, unifying both algebraic- and graph-based approaches into a single theoretical framework (the superposition construction). An algebraic method for constructing protograph LDPC codes is described, and entirely new codes and techniques are presented. These include a new class of LDPC codes with doubly quasi-cyclic structure, as well as algebraic methods for constructing spatially and globally coupled LDPC codes. Authoritative, yet written using accessible language, this text is essential reading for electrical engineers, computer scientists and mathematicians working in communications and information theory.
