What is science? How is it performed? Is science only a method or is it also an institution? These are questions at the core of Managing Science, a comprehensive handbook on how scientific research is and should be conducted and its results disseminated.Knowledge creation occurs through scientific research in universities, industrial laboratories, and government agencies. Any knowledge management system needs to promote effective research processes to foster innovation, and, ultimately, to channel that innovation into economic competitiveness and wealth. However, science is a complicated topic. It includes both methodological aspects and organizational aspects, which have traditionally been discussed in isolation from each other. In Managing Science, Frederick Betz presents a holistic approach to science, incorporating both philosophical and practical elements, in a framework that integrates scientific method, content, administration and application. Illustrating all of the key concepts with case studies (both historical and contemporary, and from a wide spectrum of fields), Betz provides in-depth discussion of the process of science. He addresses the social, organizational, institutional, and infrastructural context through which research projects are designed and performed, and their results applied, along the path from science to technology to economy. This theoretical and practical approach to science is the foundation of today's knowledge-intensive and technology-enabled industries, and positions the management of science within the broader context of knowledge management and its implications for organizations, industries, and regional and national technology management policies. Managing Science will be an essential resource for graduate students in all areas of research, professors submitting research proposals and performing research grants, industry scientists, R&D specialists, research policymakers and university administrators, and anyone fascinated with science in the discovery and application of knowledge.

Bank panics have always mattered because they create serious disruptions in economic and financial activity, depressing national economies.  But they matter even more now, as information and communications technologies have stitched together a global financial system that is more vulnerable to crisis on a large scale. For example, the global bank panic of 2007-08 froze up the national economies of the U.S., England, France, Iceland, Ireland, and Germany -- all at the same time.  And each of their governments had to act to bail out their own banks, without a consistent international regulatory framework. In this volume, Fred Betz takes a unique, cross-disciplinary approach to understanding bank panics, with an emphasis on the U.S. Bank Panics of 1857, 1907, 1930-33, 2007-08 and the European Bank Panics of 2010-2013.  Despite over a hundred years of modern economic theory and many excellent historical studies about bank panics, they are still poorly understood and certainly not yet preventable.  Partly this has been a function of the limitations of modern economic theory, which cannot interpret bank panics as complex societal phenomena.   All societal phenomena are, in reality, multi-disciplinary in scope and cross-disciplinary in connections.  Bank panics can best be understood through the collective lenses of sociology, political science, psychology, management science, management of technology, among other disciplines.  Through this dynamic approach, the author identifies five key underlying triggers of bank panics: (1) funding excessive leverage in speculation, (2) lack of proper banking regulation, (3) bad banking practices, (4) lack of banking integrity, (5) corrupt banking practices.  In so doing, he suggests new strategies for avoiding and recovering from bank panics and other financial crises.
