Until the late 1980s, Japan was the only country in Asia with notable political and economic relations. Since then, however, several Asian nations have perceived growing links with the Latin American region as a means of diversifying their political and particularly economic relations while many Latin American decision-makers have increasingly recognised the strategic importance of East Asia in their foreign policy and foreign economic policy designs.

This book analyses the economic, political and socio-cultural relations between Asia and Latin America and examines their growing importance in international relations. In the first part of the book the contributors look at the policies, interests and strategies of individual Asian and Latin American states, while the second part delves into the analysis of multilateral institution-building in Asia-Latin America relations,. As such, Asia and Latin America will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate scholars of comparative politics, international relations, Asian politics and Latin American politics.

Systemen zum Enterprise Resource Planning, kurz ERP-Systemen, geht der Ruf voraus, enorme Kosten zu verursachen. Hingegen bleibt der Nutzen von ERP-Systemen für Unternehmen oftmals unklar. Das Buch geht der Frage nach, wie Unternehmen den Einsatz von ERP-Systemen durch das Generieren signifikanter Kosten- oder Nutzenvorteile optimieren können. Konkrete Erfahrungsberichte aus der Praxis beleuchten verschiedenartige Aspekte der Kosten-/Nutzenoptimierung von ERP-Systemen: Vom Architekturmanagement (z.B. ERP-Konsolidierung) über die Implementation (z.B. Adaptive Computing) bis hin zum Betrieb von ERP-Systemen. Das Buch wendet sich an Praktiker und IT-Leiter, die ihr ERP-System optimieren wollen. Es wendet sich zugleich an Unternehmensleitungen, die mit ihren IT-Verantwortlichen nach Wegen der Kosten-/Nutzenoptimierung suchen. Ein Buch von Praktikern für Praktiker!
