Media and Sovereignty or Mathematics for Business Decisions Part 1

Media and Sovereignty: The Global Information Revolution and Its Challenge to State Power

Author: Monroe E Pric

Honorable Mention for the 2002 Communication Policy Research Award presented by The Donald McGannon Communication Research Center

Media have been central to government efforts to reinforce sovereignty and define national identity, but globalization is fundamentally altering media practices, institutions, and content. More than the activities of large conglomerates, globalization entails competition among states as well as private entities to dominate the world's consciousness. Changes in formal and informal rules, in addition to technological innovation, affect the growth and survival or decline of governments.

In Media and Sovereignty, Monroe Price focuses on emerging foreign policies that govern media in a world where war has information as well as military fronts. Price asks how the state, in the face of institutional and technological change, controls the forms of information reaching its citizens. He also provides a framework for analyzing the techniques used by states to influence populations in other states. Price draws on an international array of examples of regulation of media for political ends, including "self-regulation," media regulation in conflict zones, the control of harmful and illegal content, and the use of foreign aid to alter media in target societies.

Mathematics for Business Decisions Part 1: Probability and Simulation Release 1.5 and 1.5a

Author: Richard B Thompson

This CD contains two, separate, complete editions of a self-contained electronic text. Both editions present the same mathematical and computer topics. The versions are distinguished by the different business decision projects to which they apply the tools. The program, consisting of PowerPoint, Excel and Word files, is designed for freshmen or sophomores, majoring in business and public administration.

The prerequisites are algebra and basic familiarly with Microsoft Windows and Office software. Mathematical topics are presented in PowerPoint illustrated with Excel simulations, and then applied to business projects.

Focus on the Project sections show students how to apply what they have learned to business decisions.
The 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics was awarded for pricing stock options. In Mathematics for Business Decisions mathematics comes alive when students download real stock data and price call options.

System Requirements:
Mathematics for Business Decisions will run on PC's with Windows 98 or higher, and Excel, PowerPoint and Word form Microsoft Office Suite 2000 or higher. A CD-ROM drive is required. This material is not designed to run on the Macintosh platform.
