Books about Interlinked from Amazon.com

Since 1990, when it was first published, The Borderless World has changed the way managers view the world and their businesses, and how they invent, marker, and compete in our new globally interlinked economy Kenichi Ohmae's groundbreaking bestseller argues persuasively how national borders are less relevant than ever before and identifies key characteristics of top--performing nations and corporations.

In this revised, updated edition, which features a new introduction by the author, Ohmae attributes the American economy of the 1990s to its seamless entry into the borderless world and looks forward toward an uncharted future. He casts a critical, though ultimately hopeful, eye on the financial crisis in Asia and especially in his home country of Japan.

Description:
''Contractual interlinkages'' in the rural communities of developing countries may be a key element of informal insurance when information is incomplete, and may influence the evolution of the distribution of resources. The introduction of ''modern'' credit markets may undermine these interlinkages, and consequently limit the usefulness of informal insurance. Using data which assigns households in a transitional Indian village to either a ''modern'' or ''traditional'' regime, we examine differences in financial transactions across these regimes. Traditional hoseholds receive more frequent ''in-kind'' transfers of food and clothing, While also more frequently making ''in-kind'' payments of crop output to others in the village. .

From the supplier: The national infrastructure system is becoming more vulnerable to physical and electronic disruptions as a result of growing automation and interconnection. The Presidential Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection that was formed in 1996 concluded that the country's infrastructure system, from telecommunications to transportation, is in serious danger of being incapacitated or destroyed. The commission recommended forging public-private partnerships and establishing a warning center to address the problem and avert a major disaster.
