Platform Supply Chains in the AI Era

This open access book explores the network design and planning of platform-based supply chains in four chapters based on mathematical modeling, algorithm analysis, and numerical experiments. The main research methodologies in this book include mathematical modeling, linear programming, integer and combinatorial programming, and stochastic and robust optimization.&nbsp;What makes the book unique is the new insights into network design and planning for platform-based supply chains, which differ from those for traditional supply chains. This makes the subject in this book of significance, although there are abundant existing works on relevant topics for traditional supply chains. Another important feature of this book is the systematic perspective to unify network design in deterministic and uncertain settings for platform-based supply chains. By summarizing the new research results obtained from the implementation of a national project on platform-based supply chain, this provides a generalized scope on network design and planning for large-scale supply chains.

Laying the Groundwork for Community Wealth Building

Asset-Based Community Development and Business Cooperatives

Introduces a data-driven framework for measuring governance through a fourteen-component Macro-Governance Index, demonstrating its strong predictive power for national development outcomes and offering practical tools to diagnose governance gaps and guide policy interventions.
Every year, governments borrow trillions, spend billions on development programs, and publish volumes of economic statistics-yet no widely accepted framework exists for answering a deceptively simple question: is governance actually working? Traditional approaches rely on subjective expert assessments or narrowly focused indices that measure inputs rather than outcomes. Macro-Governance Theory proposes that governance can be measured with the same empirical rigor we bring to medicine, engineering, and economics-and that doing so is essential if citizens and policymakers are to hold institutions accountable for results. 

Drawing on 26 years of publicly available data across 170 countries, the book constructs the Macro-Governance Index (MGI)-a fourteen-component composite spanning infrastructure, connectivity, financial inclusion, human capital, security, institutional quality, and economic integration. The MGI correlates with the UN Human Development Index at r = 0.97, and this relationship is not driven by income alone: controlling for GNI, the framework retains substantial independent predictive power, confirming that governance infrastructure-not just wealth-determines whether nations deliver well-being to their citizens. 

The book reveals patterns that conventional measures miss. Novel metrics for credit access and household-level financial reach show that the effective economic gap between the Global North and Sub-Saharan Africa is approximately 70× rather than the 53× that standard income comparisons suggest-a hidden disparity with profound implications for development policy. A governance simulation framework models how investments in one dimension cascade through others, enabling policymakers to identify the highest-leverage interventions for their country's specific development stage. 

Seven detailed case studies-Singapore, Rwanda, Estonia, Botswana, Chile, Costa Rica, and Lebanon-demonstrate how the framework diagnoses governance strengths and weaknesses in practice. An analysis of the ten fastest-rising nations reveals that while successful governance strategies differ radically across political systems, they share common patterns in infrastructure sequencing and institutional development that the MGI captures and quantifies. 

Designed for dual utility, the book serves as an analytical framework for researchers and policymakers and as an accessible assessment tool for citizens through the companion website grademygovernment.com. A full reproducibility dataset covering all 170 countries across seven benchmark years is included, making this not just an argument for governance science but its working prototype.

Das Supply Chain Management hat sich etabliert, und große Konzerne ebenso wie mittelständische Unternehmen haben verstanden, dass in modernen Wertschöpfungsketten beachtliche Verbesserungspotenziale vorhanden sind. Sie haben sich auf den Weg gemacht, dieses Potenzial zu heben. Deshalb intensivieren sie ihre Zusammenarbeit mit Lieferanten, Kunden, Dienstleistern und Wettbewerbern.Hartmut Werner beschreibt in diesem Buch zunächst die Grundlagen des Supply Chain Managements. Anschließend werden Strategien für die Ausgestaltung moderner Wertschöpfungsketten charakterisiert. Auf dieser Basis erfolgt eine Vorstellung von Instrumenten, die zur konkreten Umsetzung der zuvor diskutierten Strategien dienen. Diese Überlegungen münden schließlich in ein Controlling der Supply Chain. Das Buch ist anwendungsorientiert konzipiert und stützt sich auf eine Vielzahl von Beispielen aus der Unternehmenspraxis.Die 8.

Artificial Intelligence for Better Government

Economy, Polity, and Society

The contributors to this book utilize the Public Choice approach to interpret, analyze, and at times even predict policy outcomes from a variety of contexts around the world. Applications of Public Choice Theory to Public Policy emphasizes how much can be learned from studying real people in the process of navigating political processes and institutional change. The volume directly addresses what the Public Choice approach is, its relationship to policy analysis, and how both can be improved through the incorporation of a diversity of theoretical and empirical strategies. After establishing these strategies, Applications of Public Choice Theory to Public Policy puts this into practice to address issues such as educational reform in Ghana, policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, anti-trust policy, the political role of the Supreme Court in the U.S. and high courts in Latin America, the impact of taking a precautionary approach to energy policy, regulatory burdens as a form of time tax, and the looming uncertainty over how artificial intelligence will be governed as it continues to have an ever greater impact on our lives.
