System modeling and analysis is a standard activity in every engineering discipline. This text offers a broad-based introduction to engineering systems, incorporating material from mechanical, electrical, aerospace, and chemical engineering. The overall theme that distinguishes the text from others is its unified treatment of disparate physical systems, emphasizing similarities in both the modeling and behaviour of lumped-element systems. Linear graph theory provides the framework for modeling engineering systems as lumped elements. The analysis of system dynamics that follows is organized by behavioral characteristics rather than by engineering subdisciplines. Next, the Laplace transform is introduced as a tool for understanding frequency response. The final chapter covers feedback systems. Every chapter includes a wide variety of examples, as well as exercise problems, drawn from real-world mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, chemical, and thermal systems. Aimed at second and third ye

An integral part of engineering design is the development of models that describe physical behavior or phenomena in mathematical terms. As engineering systems have become more complex, classic linear methods of modeling and analysis have proved inadequate, creating a need for nonlinear models to solve design problems. This 1999 text provides an introduction to mathematical modeling of linear and nonlinear systems, with an emphasis on the solution of nonlinear design problems. While encouraging the use of the computer as a tool for modeling and analysis, the aim is to discuss the basic concepts underlying computer techniques and to seek analytical solutions. Among topics covered are exact solution, numerical solution, graphical solution, and approximate solution methods; and the stability of nonlinear systems. Numerous examples show how to apply modeling methods to real engineering systems. The book also includes end-of-chapter problems and case studies of challenging design problems. I

Applied Methods for Trade Policy Analysis provides a comprehensive introduction to the applied economic modeling of trade policies.

Economic graduate students, professors, and policy makers will find the collection to be an important reference tool.

《第五項修練》實戰版、史丹佛商學院領導課鍛鍊「系統領導」思維，在衝突的目標中做出最佳決策華倫．巴菲特曾說：「當潮水退去，才知道誰沒穿褲子。」這句話不僅點出經濟週期的難以預測，也道盡企業領導者所面臨的嚴峻考驗。本世紀以來，在技術變革、經濟動盪、地緣政治衝突與全球疫情的連番衝擊下，如何領導組織走向未來，變得愈加困難。當面對來自內外部多方交叉壓力，卻發現過往的經驗法則愈來愈派不上用場，領導者如何才能穩住陣腳，帶領團隊乘風破浪？關鍵就在於——「系統領導」（Systems Leadership）。本書作者羅伯．西格爾是史丹佛商學院講師，也是創投公司創業者。他以親身擔任高階主管的經驗，以及長期研究新創領域的觀察，提供一套現代領導新框架：用動態的「系統領導」思維，取代單向的管理視角。書中收錄豐富企業案例，如開雲集團、埃森哲、哈雷機車、富國銀行、新創公司Box等，為各類型企業、新創公司與初中高階主管，提供深刻與務實的洞見。駕馭混沌變局，透視現代領導者的「五大交叉壓力」 優先事項Priorities：如何兼顧「執行業務」與「未來創新」？ 團隊管理People：如何同時展現「強勢領導」與「同理心」？ 影響範圍Sphere of Influence：如何兼顧「內部」與「外部」利害關係人？ 地域範疇Geography：如何同時掌握「在地優勢」與「全球化機會」？ 個人使命Purpose：如何兼顧「雄心抱負」與「維持政治家風範」？

This is a dialogue across East and West,and a sincere remembrance of trust, responsibility, and mission.From classroom to life, from ideas to practice,the book records not only Drucker’s thought,but the legacy of a belief at its core:that management exists to develop human beings.In 1999, Peter Drucker, the father of modern management, embarked on a profound dialogue with Chinese entrepreneur Shao Minglo over a shared vision for education. Drucker made a solemn commitment: to serve as Shao’s pro bono advisor for the rest of his life. In the years that followed, the two met regularly in California to discuss management education in China, economic realities, and organizational culture—forging a deep friendship that transcended both culture and age.This book records that precious journey. It illustrates not only how Drucker translated ideas into practice, but also portrays his sincerity, warmth, and humanity. He held a deep hope for the future of management in China, remained steadfast i

鑑於近年研究指出女性與男性犯罪人存在犯罪之原因、型態與路徑之迥異，以及生理及心理、行為與創傷之不同，刑事司法體系亦無法針對女性之權益與特殊需求適切挹注資源與專業處遇，國際專家學者Bloom、Owen與Covington（2003）等因此倡議性別回應矯正策略與服務（Gender-Responsive Strategy/Service for Female of Fenders），以關注女性在刑事司法體系中的特殊需求、脆弱性和權益。聯合國復於2010年通過曼谷規則，特別強調了基於數據和證據的研究、性別平等與婦女權利相關的培訓和能力建設。後續聯合國於2012年通過刑事司法體系中法律援助取得途徑的原則與準則（Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems）及2014年通過女性與監禁手冊（Handbook on Women and Imprisonment），以強化女性收容人之各項權益。作者長期關注國際犯罪矯治趨勢與發展，已執行多年相關受刑人犯罪行為與處遇需求之性別差異研究計畫與國際期刊發表，本書的撰寫，希冀提升女性受刑人及出監後之矯治處遇服務品質，以減少其再犯，並供犯罪矯正機構同仁及刑事司法與犯罪防治相關機構人員、博碩研究生及致力於改善女性受刑人權益之人士參考。

未來在等待的差異化能力是什麼？ 大家很常問：「接下來十年，有什麼事會出現變化？」 很少人問我：「接下來十年，有什麼事不會出現變化？」 ──傑夫‧貝佐斯（Jeff Bezos） 知道什麼不該改變，什麼該放棄， 找出今日出眾且合意的差異化特色， 站穩軸心，深化紮根， 就能在明日耐久而靈活地轉型發威。 在充滿不確定性的時代，組織與個人如何建立根基，來提高穩定感、深度與價值？這是為當今變化頻繁、處處干擾的商業環境，所撰寫的變革型指南。 書中強調要掌握「軸心」，而非盲目「軸轉」。軸轉一詞，在2020年疫情爆發後，加速成為組織調整策略的代名詞，意味著商業策略上的改變方向。然而，如果沒有差異化與穩定的能力，頻繁的軸轉只會導致企業效益不彰。 作者提出令人耳目一新的「重心腳」（Pivot Foot）概念，如同籃球選手轉身時，一隻腳緊貼地面提供穩定感，才能有力的轉身。重心腳是由顧客見解、產品知識和信任構成的穩固根基，它為變革提供重要指引。書中獨創5D原則，引領企業找出自己的差異化特色： Ø出眾（Distinctive）：組織有別於競爭對手之處，取決於顧客的體驗，而非僅是內部觀點。 Ø合意（Desirable）：產品或服務是顧客真正想要的，人們願意為此付費，同時也能創造內部價值。 Ø耐久（Durable）：難以模仿或複製的差異化特質，通常源於品牌聲譽、生態系統或獨特文化。 Ø靈活（Dynamic）：能適應快速變化的市場環境，確保未來能持續合乎顧客心意。 Ø宣導（Disseminated）：將差異化特色傳達給組織內外人員，確保每個人都了解，並知道如何貢獻心力。 幫助企業釐清應該在何時、何處、如何深入扎根，區分真正的機會與純粹的干擾。精準聚焦於企業最重要的事物，掌握勝出關鍵。

A FRESH, FUNNY, UP-CLOSE LOOK AT HOW SOUTH KOREA REMADE ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S POP CULTURE POWERHOUSE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By now, everyone in the world knows the song "Gangnam Style" and Psy, an instantly recognizable star. But the song's international popularity is no passing fad. "Gangnam Style" is only one tool in South Korea's extraordinarily elaborate and effective strategy to become a major world superpower by first becoming the world's number one pop culture exporter. As a child, Euny Hong moved from America to the Gangnam neighbourhood in Seoul. She was a witness to the most accelerated part of South Korea's economic development, during which time it leapfrogged from third-world military dictatorship to first-world liberal democracy on the cutting edge of global technology. Euny Hong recounts how South Korea vaulted itself into the twenty-first century, becoming a global leader in business, technology, education, and pop culture. Featuring lively, in-depth reporting and
