Innovation is critical to economic growth. Regulatory design decisions, and, in particular, competition policy and intellectual property regimes, can have profound consequences for economic growth. However, remarkably little is known about the relationship between innovation, competition, and regulatory policy. Any legal regime must attempt to assess the tradeoffs associated with rules that will affect incentives to innovate, allocative efficiency, competition, and freedom of economic actors to commercialize the fruits of their innovative labors. The essays in this book approach this critical set of problems from an economic perspective, relying on the tools of microeconomics, quantitative analysis, and comparative institutional analysis to explore and begin to provide answers to the myriad challenges facing policymakers"--<br/>2011<br/>Cover image <a href="http://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/66746/cover/9780521766746.jpg">http://assets.cambridge.org/97805217/66746/cover/9780521766746.jpg</a><br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur<br/>ISBN 9780521766746<br/>Networks without a cause : a critique of social mediaent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1917522025-10-05T22:54:55Z2025-10-05T22:54:55ZLovink, Geert<br/>With the vast majority of Facebook users caught in a frenzy of 'friending', 'liking' and 'commenting', at what point do we pause to grasp the consequences of our info-saturated lives? What compels us to engage so diligently with social networking systems? Networks Without a Cause examines our collective obsession with identity and self-management coupled with the fragmentation and information overload endemic to contemporary online culture. With a dearth of theory on the social and cultural ramifications of hugely popular online services, Lovink provides a path-breaking critical analysis of our over-hyped, networked world with case studies on search engines, online video, blogging, digital radio, media activism and the Wikileaks saga. This book offers a powerful message to media practitioners and theorists: let us collectively unleash our critical capacities to influence technology design and workspaces, otherwise we will disappear into the cloud. Probing but never pessimistic, Lovink draws from his long history in media research to offer a critique of the political structures and conceptual powers embedded in the technologies that shape our daily lives.<br/>2011<br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur<br/>ISBN 9780745649672<br/>Environmental economics : a very short introductionent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1855312025-10-05T22:54:55Z2025-10-05T22:54:55ZSmith, Stephen, 1955 Nov. 25-<br/>"In this Very Short Introduction, Stephen Smith shows how the field of environmental economics looks at how economic activity and policy can affect the environment in which we live. The book discusses environmental issues including pollution control, reducing environmental damage, global climate change policies, questions about how we should balance environmental and economic considerations, and what form government policies should take. In recent years, Smith reveals, many economists have argued for greater use of incentives such as pollution charges and emissions trading rather than more traditional direct regulation of polluters. Including many illustrative case studies, this book offers an illuminating introduction to an exciting field of economics."--Publisher's website.<br/>2011<br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur<br/>ISBN 9780199583584<br/>The formation of reasonent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1755992025-10-05T22:54:55Z2025-10-05T22:54:55ZBakhurst, David<br/>2011<br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur, Cawangan Taman Tun Dr Ismail<br/>ISBN 9781444339093<br/>Understanding color : an introduction for designersent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1473222025-10-05T22:54:55Z2025-10-05T22:54:55ZHoltzschue, Linda.<br/>"Color theory and related color issues are taught in many design schools. The issues surrounding the use of color in a digital realm are of increasing importance. Understanding Color, Fourth Edition offers simple, plain-language explanations of the scientific basis of color perception, an overview of the leading theories of color and explanations of the seeming conflicts among them, and for each concept presented, examples of how theoretical information is applied in solving common problems in color design. This book is invaluable for designers in making sound color choices"-- "Understanding Color, 4e, offers simple, plain-language explanations of the scientific basis of color perception, an overview of the leading theories of color and explanations of the seeming conflicts among them, and for each concept presented, examples of how theoretical information is applied in solving common problems in color design"--<br/>2011<br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur<br/>ISBN 9780470381359<br/>The instructional design knowledge base : theory, research, and practiceent://SD_ILS/0/SD_ILS:1474382025-10-05T22:54:55Z2025-10-05T22:54:55ZRichey, Rita Klein, James D. Tracey, Monica W.<br/>2011<br/>Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur<br/>ISBN 9780415802017<br/>
