Modelling for Globalisation

Globalisation versus Informality: Evidence from developing countries

A number of theoretical studies have tended to trace the nature of globalisation process’ impacts (mostly characterised by trade opening) on informality, while relevant empirical literature has been not well developed. The paper aims to fill this knowledge gap by shedding further light on the linkages running from globalisation to informality in developing countries. Moreover, in this study, gl...

Inflation and globalisation: a modelling perspective

This paper examines some standard open-economy New Keynesian models to address the question of how globalisation affects the inflation process. Specifically, it investigates how the Phillips curve for consumer price inflation in a country is affected by openness, and how the optimal choice of monetary policy is influenced by openness. The paper compares models that assume producer currency pric...

Process Modelling and Analysis Using Discrete - Event Simulation 4 BUSINESS PROCESS MODELLING

Globalisation and competitive pressure urge many organisations to radically change business processes. Although this approach can provide significant benefits such as reducing costs or improving efficiency, there are substantial risks associated with it. Using simulation for modelling and analysis of business processes can reduce that risk and increase the chance for success of Business Process...

An Ontology for Modelling Flexible Business Processes

With the aim of developing information systems better fitted to the main challenges raised by globalisation, we propose an ontology for the modelling of interoperable and flexible business processes. We distinguish three types of Activities a Process can be made of: whereas Procedures are defined by a sequence of Tasks and Services by a Service Description, Interactions are specified by a Goal ...

Standardisation and the Question of Identity: On The Dominant Discourses on Contemporary Iranian Art
