A Solid Approach to Risk Management

I had the opportunity to review an early draft of the manuscript for this book and was excited to read the much expanded, published version. I highly recommend this book for executives seeking to bring a solid risk management methodology into their organizations or for program managers looking to create a risk aware culture in which to execute projects. "No Excuses" provides a well-referenced and timely approach to Risk Management. It begins with a number of headlines about catastrophic events at well-known companies and proceeds into a practical approach for how these events could have been prevented. If not for the aspect of integrating business process management and operational risk management, each chapter could well stand on its own. However, each chapter builds on the previous chapter to (1) establish the situation, (2) define business process and operational risk management frameworks and integrate the two, (3) provide a how-to-approach, and (4) describe the roles and responsibilities necessary to integrate business process management and operational risk management frameworks in your organization. It is definitely a must read book that you will want to keep in your library for handy reference.04702275325002009-01-01

Thre essence of modeling

I am french, so excuse my english ;-) <br /> <br />- Good history of modeling language and representations systems. <br />- Excellent explanation of relation between logic and UML <br />- Clear example <br />- Each chapiter have a "Bibliographical Notes", so... you can go futher a you need <br />- Excellent chapiter on metamodeling <br />- MOF and XMI chapiter are short, but the essence ar there. <br /> <br />I strongly recommand this book for person concern by <br />- system representation <br />- system architecture <br />- interest by "formal" UML representation <br />- Should be hard for beginner <br /> <br /> <br /><P>When designing an information system, conceptual modeling is the activity that elicits and describes the general knowledge the system needs to know. This description, called the conceptual schema, is necessary in order to develop an information system. Recently, many researchers and professionals share a vision in which the conceptual schema becomes the only important description to be created, as the system implementation will be automatically constructed from its schema – this is e.g. the basic idea behind OMG’s Model Driven Architecture.</P> <P>Olivé’s textbook explains in detail the principles of conceptual modeling independently from particular methods and languages and shows how to apply them in real-world projects. He covers all aspects of the engineering process from structural modeling over behavioral modeling to meta-modeling, and completes the presentation with an extensive case study based on the osCommerce system, an online store-management software program freely available under the GNU General Public License. His presentation is based on well-known industry standards like UML and OCL as a particular conceptual modeling language, yet also delivers the basics of the formal logical language background.</P> <P>Written for computer science students in classes on information systems modeling as well as for professionals feeling the need to formalize their experiences or to update their knowledge, Olivé delivers here a comprehensive treatment of all aspects of the modeling process. His book is complemented by lots of exercises and additional online teaching material.</P>354071867235403218020123705924354025613X0470036664491316Software Design & Engineering468204Computer Science465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712985011General AAS468204Computer Science465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books16266351All Deals13706741Blowout Books44258011Specialty Stores283155Books16266411Computers & Internet13706741Blowout Books44258011Specialty Stores283155Books280311Information Systems280309Software Engineering3508Computer Science5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books713168011General AAS280309Software Engineering3508Computer Science5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books3902Database Design549646Databases5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books495380General3740Networks, Protocols & APIs3652Networking5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books713183011General AAS3740Networks, Protocols & APIs3652Networking5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books3879General3870Algorithms3839Programming5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books713188011General AAS3870Algorithms3839Programming5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books4016Software Development4011Software Design, Testing & Engineering3839Programming5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books4019Structured Design4011Software Design, Testing & Engineering3839Programming5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books657762General5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books713164011General AAS5Computers & Internet1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books394172011Bargain Books394171011Promotion (special_merchandising_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksRMHJC6MXDRKN1Information Systems0471792578http://www.amazon.com/Managers-Guide-Compliance-Sarbanes-Oxley-123/dp/0471792578%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0471792578305457http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JVE0526CL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JVE0526CL._SL160_.jpg160106http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51JVE0526CL.jpg475314Anthony TarantinoHardcover346.730664897804717925741100471792578WileyEnglishEnglishEnglish9066000USD$60.00Wiley1336Book2006-04-21WileyWiley1376383997USD$39.973807USD$38.0724100011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnews%2FjTOTz0zzKSzFgtojpTbzeJLfFHCXscH2%2FAf9PvWM0F8a4N%2BYH1xJYZkwLEpEfpJDk1rAgeeezDaXrzTBQVQpDwz4FIOxVd4800USD$48.00Usually ships in 24 hours4.55104717925783222007-07-04

Reference only

Useful as a reference guide, but not something that I would recommend as the first or last read on Compliance. Have kept it around as a great reference document.04717925784042007-03-13

very useful book

i have just read some chapter such as Sarbanes-Oxley and fast scan the other. I think it is the book which i look for.04717925785552007-01-23

Outstanding

Prior to reading this book I knew almost nothing about compliance. The book is well written and easy to understand for anyone that has formal accounting education. The book provided a tremendous amount of insight, and was very practical. The book has helped out at work tremendously.04717925785002006-04-29

Most Helpful for My Accounting and Auditing Groups

As the CFO of a privately held company looking to go public in the next few years this is what we needed to focus our compliance and governance programs.04717925785342006-04-29

Essential Reading for My US and Chinese Businesses

Dr. Tarantino's book was exactly what I needed to understand the many regulations facing my businesses in the US and China. It will be required reading for my various managers and directors. <b>Compliance requirements are here to stay.</b> <p> <b>Prepare your company for the growing challenge.</b> <p> A Wall Street Journal/Harris poll revealed that two thirds of investors express doubts in the ability of corporate boards of directors to provide effective oversight.

A masterful piece of writing!

I just read the two previous reviews of this book and was mildly disappointed. "The Cosgrove Report" has a literary dimension that goes well beyond the suggestion that its basically a pretty well-written historical "who-done-it." <br /> <br />I stumbled upon it while rotating a bookrack late one night next to the checkout counter of a 7-11. I was bored and just looking for something to read me to sleep. Something about the title and the cover caught my attention, so I bought it...but with minimal expectations. When I got home, and was settled in bed, I picked it up and began to read...and continued reading throughout the night. <br /> <br />What is neither stated nor implied in the other reviews is that the book is an incredibly well-crafted piece of writing! O'Toole has created not only a provocative historical novel, but also has artfully woven through the story, a story within a story, within the story (i.e., one up on "The French Lieutenant's Woman"). In other words, it is not only a highly polished, quasi-fictional historical piece, but is also a very unusual, challenging, and highly accomplished piece of creative writing! <br /> <br />In part, because of this book, within a few months I moved to Washington, D.C. (from Bellingham, WA), to see what I could of what was left of Cosgrove's/Lincoln's Washington (not the least of which was a mysterious subterranean chamber on the west side of the Capitol building). Was it there? After you read this book, you may want to go look for yourself. <br /> <br />P.S. Some readers might find Cosgrove's 19th century writing style a little too wordy and, at times, obtuse. But if you like Shakespeare (or T.S. Eliot), you'll feel quite at home...perhaps reading well through the night! <br />B0006DCO0A4122005-12-13

The Cosgrove Report

Michael Croft, a modern-day private investigator, comes by a manuscript from the 19th century. His job is to verify that this manuscript is factual. The manuscripts itself deals with a man called Nicholas Cosgrove, a private detective working for an agency called the Pinkerton agency. The secretary of war, Edwin McMasters Stanton, to find John Wilkes Booth, hires the agency. Cosgrove discovers the many cover-ups used by a great many leaders in connection with Abraham Lincoln's death. Booth, after having fled with David Herold, was aided by confederate supporters. At a Dr. Stuart's house Booth was replaced by another, to lead away troops. Herold accompanied the fake Booth and when discovered on a farm shot the man. General Lafayette Baker, one of the main conspirators, claimed that the man was Booth after breaking one of his legs to make him look accurate. At Dr. Stuart's house Booth sent two messages, one of which was addressed to A. Johnson. After Cosgrove reported this to Stanton he insisted Cosgrove start working proving the president, Andrew Johnson, in league with Booth. Cosgrove promptly resigned from the Pinkerton agency and as a favor to his former employer, Pinkerton, took on a case similar to that he had just done. Senator Edmund G. Ross was undecided in the impeachment trial against Johnson and so hired Cosgrove to discover anything about the conspiracy surrounding Lincoln's assassination. Suspicion clouds both Johnson and Stanton in the Lincoln assassination but Cosgrove is convinced neither had foreseen the assassination though Stanton had known about a kidnapping attempt that was supposed to take place at Lincoln's inaugural address. Eventually Booth is found to be acting as a magician called professor Haselmayer, a character who haunts Cosgrove's dreams. The beginning was boring but once Cosgrove finally discovers Booth isn't dead he uncovers a great many conspirators, and people with much to hide. Cosgrove follows Booth's trail, reasons for the assassination, and interesting information about the people are noted by Croft. Overall I liked the book. The historical value it had was accurate, and very interesting. <br /> A great deal of responsibility comes with power. The actions taken by important political figures for the country or their own gain affected the country greatly. Stanton was a very important political figure who felt it was his responsibility to first allow the kidnapping to Lincoln to take place in order to frighten the president into harsher reforms in the South, and to hire Cosgrove to prove that President Johnson was responsible for Lincoln's death. While the two made errors with consequences that affected the country other officials conspired to kill the president for their own gain. With this they were thinking of a responsibility to only themselves while others suffered. Blackmail on the part of subordinates in the assassination allowed all others needed in the case to prove a body was Booth's. This was to gain money, which eventually led to Cosgrove's discovery of Booth's escape. The level of responsibility that comes with power is great but is sometimes put to dangerous use.

A must-read for mystery buffs and Civil War buffs

Even though this book is out of print (and why don't they re-issue it?) I'm surprised to see that no one has yet reviewed this clever, well-researched, provacative book. Whether you love a well-crafted whodunnit or enjoy exploring the times, mores, people and events surrounding the Civil War and the assasination of Abraham Lincoln, THE COSGROVE REPORT is for you. It's well worth seeking out.<DIV><I>The Cosgrove Report</I> is both a gripping historical thriller and a new and entirely plausible solution to that still unanswered question: Why was Abraham Lincoln murdered? Republished to coincide with the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth, this is a novel of immense power and imagination, based on meticulous research into the government’s official records of the assassination and the forgotten memoirs of many eyewitnesses. The novel opens when a recently discovered nineteenth-century manuscript falls into the hands of modern-day private investigator Michael Croft. His assignment is to verify the historical accuracy of the papers, which reveal the shocking cover-up of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and the alleged capture and death of John Wilkes Booth. The manuscript itself, written by Pinkerton detective Nicholas Cosgrove, plunges both Croft and the reader back into post-Civil War Washington, where Cosgrove is hired by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to investigate rumors that Booth is still alive. His search brings him face-to-face with some of the most illustrious people of the period, and exposes a trail of lies and evasions equal to any modern day political scandal.</DIV>03757033731000Subjects1Arts & Photography2Biographies & Memoirs3Business & Investing4Children's Books4366Comics & Graphic Novels5Computers & Internet6Cooking, Food & Wine86Entertainment301889Gay & Lesbian10Health, Mind & Body9History48Home & Garden10777Law17Literature & Fiction13996Medicine18Mystery & Thrillers53Nonfiction290060Outdoors & Nature20Parenting & Families173507Professional & Technical21Reference22Religion & Spirituality23Romance75Science25Science Fiction & Fantasy26Sports28Teens27Travel283155Books0534642667http://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Themes-Variations-Concept-InfoTrac%C2%AE/dp/0534642667%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D05346426671228869Wayne WeitenHardcover15097805346426621020534642667Wadsworth PublishingEnglishEnglishEnglish110210695USD$106.95Wadsworth Publishing1640Book2004-04-08Wadsworth PublishingWadsworth Publishing384921897USD$8.971USD$0.0111480011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnew2pfRLQlznLtiPvYgLYHD1KsM7HOLVHIpuP99muS4JZoEBeIfxUMtofUn%2FprVAvoDMu6rlm%2FDOyoxTYIECvdZ6A%3D%3D10695USD$106.95Usually ships in 2 to 4 weeks4.020405346426675002009-01-04

Great Book!

Great book. I needed this for my psychology course. I would recommend you make sure this package has all of the materials you need. My school offered a package that had an extra book that this package didn't. Not amazon's fault, but mine for not looking into this more closely. I ended up buying the other book from amazon too and saved money anyways compared to school bookstore. The book is well written and easy to understand. It's basically a more advanced version of your undergrad psychology book. 05346426671002009-01-01

loss cause

I have never received this product and I have filed a claim to receive my money back. I have not heard from the seller or Amazon about my claim.

Wayne Weiten surveys psychology's broad range of content with three aims: to illuminate the process of research and its intrinsic relationship to application (THEMES); to show both the unity and diversity of the subject (VARIATIONS), and to invite students to the study of psychology by respecting their ability to master its fundamental concepts. Weiten's Themes and Variations provide unifying threads across chapters that help students to see the connections among different research areas in psychology. Integrative themes?including empiricism, theoretical diversity, sociohistorical contexts, multifactorial causation, cultural heritage, heredity and environment, and subjectivity of experience?are woven throughout the text to provide connections among the different areas of research in psychology. The book's dynamic, teaching-oriented illustration program further enhances these themes. Weiten reinforces concepts through exercises that appear at the end of every chapter. At the same time, the author presents topics in a hierarchical manner, giving students handles they can use to prioritize concepts within the chapter.013603599X049509035205346345910495319287049517039911203Psychotherapy, TA & NLP11119Psychology & Counseling10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books11175General11119Psychology & Counseling10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books713279011General AAS11119Psychology & Counseling10Health, Mind & Body1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0471741159http://www.amazon.com/COSO-Enterprise-Risk-Management-Understanding/dp/0471741159%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0471741159283661http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51unv58KEvL._SL75_.jpg7550http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51unv58KEvL._SL160_.jpg160106http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51unv58KEvL.jpg500331Robert MoellerHardcover658.15597804717411521400471741159WileyEnglishEnglishEnglish9005000USD$50.00Wiley1384Book2007-04-27WileyWiley1506102895USD$28.952895USD$28.951990011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnew7p1DMLET5GofFmAZt7TSzF4241wek0QewqAK8QKQyIM0T%2BFDjTZmd3fMRkOTFblXRMMhNywzoTrbJWMa3W8dmyjB81uTumSi4000USD$40.00Usually ships in 24 hours3.52104717411592002008-11-21

Not worth

I purchased the book based on the single review on this site. However, as I started reading it, I realized that the book is not worth purchasing. Every chapter is a collection of sentences repeated written with a sole purpose of filling pages. All the ideas in the book can be said in 20 pages. Very disappoined!04717411595232007-11-07

A MASTERPIECE, AWESOME BOOK

Dear Colleagues, <br /> <br />This book is a MASTERPIECE! I couldn't stop reading over and over sections and chapters about a reality to come soon: the implementation of COSO-ERM as it goes nationally and globally, once it will become officially recognized as an ISO standard. <br /> <br />Robert Moeller, who is also the author of Brink's Modern Internal Auditing, sixth edition, revealed a high level of knowledge and expertise and he brought it down at an understandable level. Could you imagine expanding your knowledge about COSO-ERM while you enjoy reading chapter thru chapter all aspects of this multidimensional model? <br />Yes, Robert Moeller fulfilled his purpose to provide guidance for better understanding COSO ERM and its level of importance. I learned and understood every detailed Moeller's explanations and experiences related to this topic. <br /> <br />I HIGHLY recommend this book to all individual and stakeholders but not limited to senior managers, internal and external auditors, corporate boards of directors, investors, all vendors. This is the strength of COSO-ERM: includes all aspects of any business form and it also "concerns and impacts people beyond the executive offices" (Moeller, 346). After you read this book, you will be ready to move up to a higher level of understanding COSO ERM as well I am prepared to participate on an active role of this framework. <br /> <br />For less than $75 you will gain a deep knowledge for understanding COSO-ERM. It is WORTHY to invest on this book! I can't wait to reading more about Moeller's experience and knowledge about COSO-ERM as he could expand it on subsequent editions of this MASTERPIECE! <br />Praise for<br> COSO Enterprise Risk Management<br> <br> "COSO ERM is a thoughtful introduction to the challenges of risk management at the enterprise level and contains a wealth of information on dealing with it through the use of the COSO framework. Detailed procedures covering a wide variety of situations are followed by a thorough explanation of how each is deployed. As a project management professional, I appreciate how the author addresses the need for risk management at a project level. His background as someone who 'practices what they preach' and realizes the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley auditing rules comes through clearly in the book, and it should be mandatory reading for anyone seeking to understand how to tackle their own ERM issues."<br> --Greg Gomel, PMP, CQM, CSQE, ITIL, Director, Project Management, Insight North America<br> <br> "This volume clearly and comprehensively outlines the usefulness of COSO Enterprise Risk Management guidance. It should provide considerable benefit to those having governance responsibilities in this important area."<br> --Curtis Verschoor, L & Q Research Professor, School of Accountancy and MISDePaul University, Chicago<br> <br> Transform your company's internal control function into a valuable strategic tool<br> <br> Today's companies are expected to manage a variety of risks that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. More than ever, it is vital to understand the dimensions of risk as well as how to best manage it to gain a competitive advantage.<br> <br> COSO Enterprise Risk Management clearly enables organizations of all types and sizes to understand and better manage their risk environments and make better decisions through use of the COSO ERM framework.<br> <br> A pragmatic guide for integrating ERM with COSO internal controls, this important book:<br> * <br> <br> Offers you expert advice on how to carry out internal control responsibilities more efficiently<br> * <br> <br> Updates you on the ins and outs of the COSO Report and its emergence as the new platform for understanding all aspects of risk in today's organization<br> * <br> <br> Shows you how an effective risk management program, following COSO ERM, can help your organization to better comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act<br> * <br> <br> Knowledgeably explains how to implement an effective ERM program<br> <br> <br> COSO Enterprise Risk Management is the invaluable working resource that will show you how to identify risks, avoid pitfalls within your corporation, and keep it moving ahead of the competition.04700146600471792578047143000501300875480071429662491564Accounting468220Business & Finance465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712983011General AAS468220Business & Finance465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books712982011General AAS465600New & Used Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2626Auditing2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2628General2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books713054011General AAS2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2612General3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books713049011General AAS3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books266118General266117Accounting173509Accounting & Finance173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books713535011General AAS266117Accounting173509Accounting & Finance173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books394181011Hardcover394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155Books0808089595http://www.amazon.com/Auditors-Risk-Management-Guide-Integrating/dp/0808089595%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D08080895951090451http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511nK2YPiYL._SL75_.jpg7548http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511nK2YPiYL._SL160_.jpg160102http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/511nK2YPiYL.jpg500319Paul J.

Not easy to follow up

It's not something that you can use in the real world and surely not easy to read and follow up. It doesn't worth it's price.Auditor's Risk Management Guide: Integrating Auditing and ERM is designed to be a comprehensive "how-to" book that provides the reader with guidance on performing a risk management-based audit. The guide covers the Enterprise Risk Management Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). This is not a research study or a conceptual thesis; rather, it is a practical guide designed for the audit practitioner. Following the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley and its strict corporate governance and accountability provisions, developing better risk management techniques is becoming more important to help meet higher audit committee expectations. That's where this guide comes in. Auditor's Risk Management Guide is organized into two parts: Risk Management-Based Auditing and Case Studies. The first part provides a broad understanding of corporate governance, ERM principles, and different auditing approaches, and also provides step-by-step instructions on how to execute the risk management-based audit. The second part includes 10 detailed case studies that illustrate the risk management-based audit methodology and tools in different scenarios, beginning with a business risk assessment and working through common audit areas such as closing the books, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. Practice Pointers and Observations provide additional commentary to assist the reader in understanding the methodology. A free, companion CD-ROM is included with the book and provides an electronic version of the various work programs, checklists, and other tools illustrated throughout the book. The programs and checklists are presented in a question format to help the auditor understand what questions need to be asked and answered as he or she executes the methodology.04717411590471792578080809184008080900460470231521713014011General AAS319654011Qualifying Textbooks251254011Custom Stores44258011Specialty Stores283155Books2626Auditing2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2628General2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books713054011General AAS2625Accounting2624Industries & Professions3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books2612General3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books713049011General AAS3Business & Investing1000Subjects283155Books266118General266117Accounting173509Accounting & Finance173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books713535011General AAS266117Accounting173509Accounting & Finance173507Professional & Technical1000Subjects283155Books408268General21Reference1000Subjects283155Books713587011General AAS21Reference1000Subjects283155Books400272011Paperback394184011Mass Market401237011Trade394174011Binding (binding)388186011Refinements283155Books618083011Printed Books618072011Format (feature_browse-bin)388186011Refinements283155BooksB001JTD3AUhttp://www.amazon.com/Adoption-Software-Excluding-Providers-Analysis/dp/B001JTD3AU%3FSubscriptionId%3D05ERXYTS89KFGEPQR5G2%26tag%3Dthebookrevi0b-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB001JTD3AUhttp://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bAE%2BlDLeL._SL75_.jpg7559http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bAE%2BlDLeL._SL160_.jpg160126http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bAE%2BlDLeL.jpg500393Ridhi SawhneyPaperbackAlan Tong6IDCEnglish1050450000USD$4,500.00IDC26Book2008-09-10IDC2008-09-10IDC24825450000USD$4,500.00100011ATVPDKIKX0DERhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/help/seller/home.html?seller=ATVPDKIKX0DERNewnewOJiQXmQF%2BgW90Oe6t9VBfHecKJowO%2F0zhflgmaYi2OEFITMPHC99Fo6ADTanZrZ8%2F7KxHKw15B%2BTmOOMuA7w9w%3D%3D450000USD$4,500.00Usually ships in 24 hours<P>This IDC study discusses the adoption of open source (OS) enterprise resource planning (ERP), and customer relationship management (CRM) in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ. Detailed analysis is done on OS ERM and CRM vendors in the APEJ region along with their market, product, and partner strategy. The study includes the results of IDC's Asia/Pacific Small and Medium-Sized Business Study, 2008 highlighting the adoption of OS ERM and CRM software across the various countries and verticals in the region.</P> <P>"OS ERM and CRM is an emerging market in APEJ with majority of vendors operating through partners and VARs in the region," says Ridhi Sawhney, market analyst, IDC Asia/Pacific. "No vendor lock-in and access to the source code and OS network act as valuable assets for the end users. Australia, Singapore, and Thailand have, to an extent, adopted OS ERM and CRM as compared with the rest of the countries in the region. The maturity of OS infrastructures is leading adoption to occur, starting with Linux at the base and then further up the technology stack to the application layer.".
