Complex Systems and Sustainability in the Global Auditing, Consulting, and Credit Rating Agency Industries

Current issues within industrial organization, mechanism design, political economy, and complex systems in the global accounting/consulting industry and global credit rating agency industry can have massive effects on international trade and international capital flows as these industries are some of the most international of all service industries. One major issue that is often overlooked is that NPLs, LRCs, and CRAs are significantly affected by both business processes and the nature and tenure of human-computer interactions (HCI) of the financial market ecosystem. Therefore, it is important to analyze the theories about business processes and the long-term impact of the use of computers on individuals and groups within the context of corporate strategy and vice versa. Through these theories one can better understand the changes technology has caused in the financial ecosystem and the way business models are shifting and developing to handle these changes. Complex Systems and Sustainability in the Global Auditing, Consulting, and Credit Rating Agency Industries analyzes and develops theories about public policy and ""inter-business"" processes that are designed and executed within the context of computer networks. It focuses on aspects of complex systems (including networks), mechanism-design, and behavioral game theory and introduces new models and ""informal algorithms"" that solve social-choice problems. It will also present new business/compensation models for the accounting/auditing, credit rating agency, and business-opportunities industries as well as analyze industry structure, structural changes, and antitrust problems. This book is essential for employees in the industry, financial services, research institutes, consulting firms, and government agencies, along with accountants, financial planners, auditors, consultants, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in industrial mathematics and theoretical computer science.
