Financial Modelling with Jump Processes

An Introduction to Exotic Option Pricing

Peter Tankov

Peter Buchen

Universite Paris VII, France

University of Sydney, Australia

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics

Financial models based on jump processes are gaining popularity in risk management and option pricing applications. Although much has been published on the subject, most resources are difficult for non-specialists to understand. This book provides an accessible overview of the theoretical, numerical, and empirical aspects of using jump processes in financial modeling. The authors motivate the use of the various mathematical tools and provide precise mathematical statements of the results. They illustrate concepts with many numerical and empirical examples and provide the details for implementing pricing and calibration algorithms.

In an easy-to-understand, nontechnical yet mathematically elegant manner, this book shows how to price exotic options, including complex ones, without performing complicated integrations or formally solving PDEs. It develops special pricing techniques based on the no-arbitrage principle and fully derives every price formula for the exotic options. The author incorporates a significant amount of original, previously unpublished material, such as the use of log-volutions and Mellin transforms to solve the Black–Scholes PDE. He also demystifies many esoteric issues underpinning the mathematical treatment of the subject.

Implementing Standardized Work: Measuring Operators’ Performance explains how to measure the performance of operators quickly and simply without sacrificing accuracy. Detailing how to identify the most efficient operators and how to monitor their improvement over time, it describes a method that has been applied with success for years in the automotive industry. Grounded in one of the basic laws of factory physics—mastery of variability—this method can be automated very easily and thereby requires no labor consumption. In this episode of The One Day Expert, Thomas, a plant director in an industrial group, is reassigned to another plant that is losing money. Morale in the plant is very low and the staff is pessimistic about the plant’s future and is distrustful of senior management. Thomas’ urgent mission is to turn the plant around. Previous plant managers have tried several initiatives with limited results.

A Study of the Toyota Production System Progressive Kaizen: The Key to Gaining a Global Competitive Advantage

From an Industrial Engineering Viewpoint Shigeo Shingo Translated by Andrew P. Dillon

All kaizen is not the same. There are four different types, each with its own purpose and results. This book details each type—describing how and when to use them to obtain the greatest ROI. It explains how to conduct each type of kaizen event, who should be involved, and what the expected results should be. It also introduces a waste reduction activity process that can help drive kaizen down to the individual job level.

The green book that started it all, this is first book on JIT in English from the engineer’s viewpoint. When Omark Industries bought 500 copies and studied it company-wide, Omark became the U.S. pioneer in JIT. It provides Dr. Shingo’s classic industrial engineering rationale for implementing process-based rather than operational improvements in manufacturing. He explains the basic mechanisms of the Toyota production system, examines production as a functional network of processes and operations, and then discusses the organization-wide mechanism necessary to make JIT possible in any manufacturing plant.

Amoeba Management The Dynamic Management System for Rapid Market Response

Lean Management 56

Freedom from Command & Control Rethinking Management for Lean Service

Kazuo Inamori

John Seddon

Especially effective in dynamic and highly competitive environments, the Amoeba Management System has received attention from the Harvard Business Review and has been successfully adopted at hundreds of companies around the world. Written by the system’s creator, this book provides a complete introduction to this unique and time-tested method of management control and accounting. Explaining the management philosophy and principles, it unveils fresh insights on how to foster a culture of leadership and responsibility in your organization.

Proving that top-down decision-making within service-oriented businesses leads to managers who are detached from employees and daily operations, John Seddon demonstrates that decision-making based on purpose-related measures (such as putting customers first and improving services) can help managers reconnect with operations, see waste, and exploit opportunities for improvement. Through case material, the book illustrates how systems thinking leads to improved service, revenues, and staff morale. It also posits that the service industry fundamentally differs from manufacturing, and shows how Toyota production principles can be transformed for application in that arena.

The Psychology of Lean Improvements

Sue Elizabeth Sondergelt

Why Organizations Must Overcome Resistance and Change the Culture

Lean Beans, LLC, Cape Haze, Florida, USA

Chris A. Ortiz

Detailing the differences between cost accounting and cost management, this book follows a fictional manufacturing entity embarking on a Lean change management journey for the second time—having failed at its first attempt a few years earlier. As the story progresses, readers gain an understanding of what the company will do differently this time around to ensure it doesn’t slip backward again as the transformation unfolds. While there is no recipe for a Lean change management transformation, the book provides invaluable tips and unveils three new principles to help ensure success.

The inherent fear and reluctance of many companies to embark on a Lean journey can be self-destructive. This book explores the psychology behind why so many companies avoid Lean and hold on to inefficient processes. Drawing on personal experience, the author describes why and how businesses cling to the eight deadly wastes and why they continue to find ways to place improvement on the back burner. Whether it’s poor leadership, the inability to change, or pure ego, the text explores this perplexing commitment to inefficiency.

Liquid Lean

Sustainable Lean

Developing Lean Culture in the Process Industries

The Story of a Cultural Transformation

Suncor, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Burlington Medical Supplies Inc., Newport News, Virginia, USA

Liquid industries, including reactive chemical manufacturing, petroleum and metal refining, and food and bio-pharma production, can make great use of the concepts of Lean. However, largely because they are naturally conservative and more financially stable than most, these industries do not generally make use of Lean manufacturing, and great case stories of successful Lean implementation are rare. This book is the first to offer details and examples of adapting Lean manufacturing to liquid industries. It is based on more than 20 years of industry experience from the legendary Raymond Floyd, one of the first to successfully practice Lean in the chemical industry.

Anybody can start a Lean transformation. What’s hard is sustaining it. Detailing the process for creating a sustainable Lean transformation, this book describes how to stay on course over the long term. It describes how top-down metrics evolve into the identification of strategic and tactical opportunities for improvement. The author describes a process that sets boundaries for decisions and teaches a data-driven methodology for making good decisions. He supplies tools for good leadership and teaches how to monitor success.

Lean Supply Chain Management Essentials A Framework for Materials Managers Bill Kerber High Mix Lean, Medford, New Jersey, USA

Kanban for the Shopfloor

Brian J. Dreckshage

Productivity Press Development Team

This book explains why the traditional materials planning environment, typically embodied by an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, is an ineffective support system for a company that wants to adopt Lean practices. Instead, it offers an alternative methodology for implementing Lean into the supply chain that allows for ongoing experimentation, learning, and improvement. After defining supply chain management and Lean basics, it explores the conflicts between Lean and the traditional framework. It also includes a chart that matches Lean tools with the planning and control charts that have served as the model for ERP systems.

The primary benefit of kanban is to reduce overproduction, the worst of the seven deadly wastes. A true kanban system produces exactly what is ordered, when it is ordered, and in the quantities ordered. Kanban for the Shopfloor provides a working manual for those seeking to implement this method of production control in any operation. It defines the various terms and methods employed in kanbans, and illustrates how when adhered to, kanban is an element of continuous improvement that ultimately leads to the ideal of one-piece flow.

Series: Advances in Police Theory and Practice

Wichita State University, Kansas, USA

The LAPD suffered a devastating fall from grace following the 1991 police officer beating of Rodney King and the Los Angeles riots stemming from the officers’ acquittal in 1992. This book reveals a special inside study performed under the authority of LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates to investigate why the department had begun to disintegrate and how it could be salvaged. The findings presented are based on first-hand written accounts of LAPD officer informants. Lost for some 20 years under mysterious circumstances, these officer informant materials were recently retrieved and made available for analysis.

Using primary empirical studies and extensive, in-depth interviews, this book draws on nearly two years of field research into how minorities experience racial profiling by police authorities. Citing cases involving over 100 racial and ethnic minority citizens, it places into context the experience of racial profiling by examining each individual case and employing a rigorous qualitative phenomenological method to determine their associated meaning. Suitable as a textbook or professional reference, this book distinguishes myth from data to discover the truth underlying the practice of racial profiling.

Jennifer R.S. Durant

Edited by

ASPA Series in Public Administration and Public Policy

Sharon Duca Palmer This book examines many of the predominant issues in the field of social work in mental health and substance abuse today. Topics discussed include incarceration of drug abusers, methadone treatment for heroin users, and substance abuse among sex workers. It also examines how parental smoking affects children’s attitudes, binge drinking, and the correlation between depression and sociodemographic factors. The book also explores help for homeless drug abusers.

Informed by a “5 R” framework (reconceptualizing purpose, redefining rationality, recapitalizing human assets, reengaging resources, and revitalizing democratic constitutionalism), this book bridges the gap between theory and practice. In this collection of articles revised for book format, the Durants expertly draw out themes, issues, problems, and prospects in their preface and section introductions. Bulleted lessons and practical take-aways are also added for the busy practitioner and researcher. This book is a “one stop shop” for crossdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, and cross-professional exchanges on contemporary challenges, choices, and opportunities facing public administrators today.

What Is It and Where Are We Going? Amos N. Guiora The University of Utah, Salt Lake City, USA

With the ten-year anniversary of 9/11 behind us, one critical question persists. Have policies enacted to protect us from terrorist attacks made us safer, or have they merely mollified the concerned public with a false sense of security?

It suggests ways to prioritize limited resources and offers insight into what should be the predominant considerations. It also examines terror financing, provides a cost-benefit analysis of homeland security, and discusses international cooperation/intelligence sharing. Catalog no.

Globalism and Comparative Public Administration

Margaret Stout

University of South Florida, Tampa, USA

West Virginia University, Morgantown, USA

Series: Public Administration and Public Policy

Exploring the development and contributions of the comparative public administration perspective, this book explains how the comparative approach is essential for developing authentic generalizations of management that are applicable beyond national boundaries. It builds upon the 2002 edition, with two new chapters and rewrites of others. The text illustrates how the approach helps to define what works and what doesn’t, and includes a section on global ethics. It discusses classic models of comparative public administration, as well as newer forms, and offers examples of both useful and non-useful administrative practices.

Public administration is considered to be a field of practice. Yet, as an academic discipline it relies on a vast history of literature. Students preparing to embark on their careers must identify theoretical relationships and understand how they link to practice. This book offers a framework to help them decipher key approaches. The framework is presented in three main conceptual components with prescriptions for practice: Constitutional (the bureaucrat), Discretionary (the entrepreneur), and Collaborative/Direct Democratic (the steward). The textbook includes a course outline for instructors, lecture slides on CD, and question and answer sets for students.

The Politics-Administration Dichotomy Toward a Constitutional Perspective, Second Edition Patrick Overeem

Public Administration and Law Third Edition David H. Rosenbloom, Rosemary O’Leary, and Joshua Chanin

Series: Public Administration and Public Policy

This book is about the so-called politics-administration dichotomy, the idea that politics and public administration should be separated in our theories and practices of government. While public administration academics typically reject it as an outdated and even dangerous idea, it re-emerges implicitly in their analyses. This book tells the story of how this has happened and suggests a way to get out of the quandary. It analyzes the dichotomy position in terms of concept, purpose, and relevance.

Since the first edition of this volume was published, it has retained its unique status of being the only book in the field of public administration that analyzes how constitutional law regulates and informs the way administrators interact with each other and the public. Examining First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights as they pertain to these encounters, it explains how public administrators must do their jobs and how administrative systems must operate in order to comply with constitutional law.
