The article substantiates the methodological tools for the formation of the mechanism for implementing the strategy of sustainable economic development of the hotel and restaurant industry. To ensure the operation of the mechanism, a system of indicators and criteria for assessing the process of sustainable economic development, based on accelerating the growth of efficiency and reducing operating costs through reserve and progressive development of resource potential of the enterprise. The paper identifies the stages of sustainable economic development of the enterprise, which include: identification, grouping and analysis of factors of progressive and reserve development, their classification and determining the degree of influence on the growth of operational (production and administrative and marketing) activities, progressive development of resource potentials; development of regression models and indicators of progressive, reserve and sustainable (static and dynamic) economic development, which explain the patterns of influence of factors on performance indicators; forecasting the parameters of efficiency and cost of production and commercial activities; formation of the volume and structure of investments by types of capital investments that ensure the progressive development of resource potentials, economic growth and sustainability of the enterprise. A methodology for creating regression models and indicators was developed, which provided an opportunity to assess and predict the ratio of resource costs and the level of operational efficiency, as well as change the performance indicator by changing the values of factor parameters or their total value in different combinations. The algorithm of the organizational and economic mechanism of realization of strategy of management of steady economic development of the enterprise of hotel and restaurant sphere is constructed. This algorithm provided the ability to determine the reserves of available resources, as well as to establish the required size and structure of capital investments that reduce costs and increase the efficiency of production and administrative activities.

This volume on India is one of a series of research projects on exchange control, liberalization, and economic development, undertaken for many less developed countries. The study deals with three major topics: exchange control, liberalization, and growth. First, under 'The Anatomy of Exchange Control', the methods of allocation and intervention in the foreign trade and payments practised by the government during the restrictive period 1956-66 and their economic impact are discussed. Then, a detailed analysis of the 'Liberalization Episode' which covers the policies in the period 1966-68, including the June 1966 devaluation, and the episode's effect on price level, economic activity, and exports is given. Finally, the overall growth effects of the foreign trade regime (broadly defined as exchange rate policy plus the frame-work of relevant domestic policies such as industrial licensing), and their possible contribution to India's rather unsatisfactory economic performance are examined.

The book is the first of a series of studies on Exchange Control, Liberalization and Economic Development sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research, New York. The ten-country study, of which the book under review is a part, provides an in-depth analysis of three major areas : The anatomy of exchange control along with its implications, the episode of the liberalization of the payments regime, and the relationship of growth with the exchange control regime. The findings of the individual country-studies have been consolidated in an overall synthesis. However, each study is complete in itself in accordance with the needs of scholars having an interest in only some of the studies. The book under review seeks to analyse Turkey's trade and payments regime and the effect that the latter has had on the country's economic growth. Whereas quite a few other factors are instrumental in development (e.g. agricultural productivity, levels of education, political and social stability, etc.), the focus on foreign trade alone is justified by the author on the grounds of the tremendous amount of government influence in foreign trade. Moreover, the author believes that an intensive study of the trade-growth relationship is more rewarding than: a general survey of all factors related to economic growth.
