"Is a given treatment, intervention, or program worth it? How can a program do more or better with less? Evaluating the costs of a program can be the missing link between a superficial evaluation and one that will get changes made and funding delivered. In accessible language and without complex formulas, this book provides a roadmap for measuring program costs and outcomes and analyzing cost-effectiveness, cost-benefit, and cost-utility. Also explained are simplified ways to use economic appraisal methodologies--such as net present valuation, internal rate of return computation, and payback period determination--in a cost-inclusive evaluation. Instructive examples span a range of human services, education, and health care contexts. Other evaluator- and student-friendly features include helpful graphics, procedure steps, end-of-chapter discussion questions, and acronym and key term glossaries.

That America's natural environment has been degraded and despoiled over the past 25 years is beyond dispute. Nor has there been any shortage of reasons why - short-sighted politicians, a society built on over-consumption, and the dramatic weakening of environmental regulations. In 'Retaking Rationality', Richard Revesz and Michael Livermore argue convincingly that one of the least understood - and most important - causes of our failure to protect the environment has been a misguided rejection of reason. The authors show that environmentalists, labour unions, and other progressive groups have declined to participate in the key governmental proceedings concerning the cost-benefit analysis of federal regulations.

IT controlling is established as an instrument for managing information technology. The job description of the IT controller has changed only moderately over a longer period of time. It was primarily associated with IT budgeting, IT portfolio management, IT cost planning, accounting and controlling. However, digitization has brought movement in objectives, content, and methods. New topics such as digital strategy management, cloud controlling, data science and others are under discussion. The task profile is changing away from pure IT cost analysis to management of the digitization strategy with a focus on strategic IT portfolio management. Some voices are already talking about "smart controlling" or "digital controlling". This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Prof. Dr. Andreas Gadatsch holds the Chair of Business Administration, in particular Business Information Systems and is Director of the Institute of Management at Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences. He heads the master's program in Innovation and Information Management (MSc) as well as the Data Innovation Lab. .
