Institutions, Consultants and Transformation: Case Studies from the Development Sector

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: The Transformation: 3D Views on Institution Building shares the experiences of and collectively reflects on the work of OD practitioners for contextual understanding and knowledge sharing, particularly in the social development sector. The case studies are composed of three elements-a narrative report on activities, a reflective essay on the challenges faced during the change process, and a review of the aspects retained and absorbed in the organization. The unique feature of these studies is the identification, by practitioners, themselves of their assumptions and earlier experiences. The cases capture a range of issues that the social development sector faces-from leadership transitions, gender issues at the workplace and the challenges of reorienting large systems to their development agenda. The struggles of OD consultants, so rarely aired publicly, bring to the fore the complexities of change facilitation and the reviewers` reports add objectivity and help to complete the [detailed...]

Institutions, Development, and Economic Growth (CESifo Seminar Series)

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: The determinants of economic growth and development are hotly debated among economists. Financial crises and failed transition experiments have highlighted the fact that functioning institutions are fundamental to the goal of achieving economic growth. The growth literature has seen an abundance of empirical studies on the influence of institutions and the mechanisms by which institutions affect development. This CESifo volume provides a systematic overview of the current scholarship on the impact of institutions on growth. The contributors, all internationally prominent economists, consider theoretical and empirical relationships between institutions and growth. Concepts covered include `appropriate institutions` (the idea that different institutional arrangements are appropriate at different stages of economic development), liberalized credit markets, the influence of institutions on productivity, institutional and regulatory reforms in the OECD, how innovation and [detailed...]

Institutions, Ecosystems, and Sustainability

y.
Publisher:
Description: In the latter part of the 20th century, humans are doing a particularly poor job of managing natural resources in a sustainable way over the long term. Institutions, Ecosystems, and Sustainability focuses on long-term, sustainable natural resource management practices at the local, national, and international levels. The authors suggest that a major cause of the `sustainability problem` - regulatory policies for large areas that often threaten the sustainability of both natural resources and previously effective governance problems - lie in `scale` problems. Large scale ecosystems are not simply larger versions of smaller systems, and micro-scale ecosystems are not merely microcosms of large scale systems. The driving forces and feedback mechanisms operate at different levels and exhibit distinct patterns of their own.Traditional management practices that do well at the local level cannot be expected to do equally well in handling activities organized at the continental or global [detailed...]

Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionThe first book in this important new series, under the general editorship of Nobel Laureate Robert Solow, Institutions, Innovation and Growth assembles a stellar cast of international contributors. Leading economists join the debate on innovation and economic growth, focusing on a broad spectrum of issues ranging from labor markets to corporate governance. Growth paths within the OECD are also assessed, with particular emphasis on contrasts between US and European models. The book seeks to identify those institutional factors, taking into account different national trajectories, which might serve to promote economic growth in Europe. As with all books in this series, Institutions, Innovation and Growth offers cutting edge research that is relevant to the world in which we live. It will be essential reading for scholars, policymakers and interested readers concerned with the economic challenges facing Europe in the twenty-first century. [detailed...]

Institutions, Macroeconomics, and the Global Economy

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionAll managers face a business environment where international and macroeconomic phenomena matter. Understanding the genesis of financial and currency crises, stock market booms and busts, and social and labor unrest is a crucial aspect in making informed managerial decisions. Adverse macroeconomic phenomena can have a catastrophic impact on firm performance ? witness the strong companies destroyed by the Mexican tequila crisis. Yet, at the same time, such episodes also create businessopportunities ? and not just for the hedge funds and speculators that profit from them. Managers that have and use a coherent framework for analyzing these phenomena will enjoy a competitive advantage. This book presents a series of case studiestaught in the Harvard Business School course `Institutions, Macroeconomics, and the Global Economy.` The course addresses the opportunities created by the emergence of a global economy and proposes strategies for managing the risks that [detailed...]

Institutions, Performance, and the Financing of Infrastructure Services in the Caribbean (World Bank Working Papers)

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionThis book reviews the access to services, investment needs, tariffs, and efficiency of fifteen Caribbean countries across five infrastructure sectors (telecommunications, electricity, water and sanitation, maritime transport and ports, and airports and air services). Benchmarks are established to compare Caribbean countries with each other, and with similar countries. To some extent, differences in performance can be explained by unalterable factors such as a given country`s size and location. However, we find that, in many cases, differences in performance among countries cannot be completely explained by such factors. Many of the remaining differences seem to be attributable to institutional and policy factors, such as the level of competition among service providers within a given sector, whether providers are government or privately-controlled, and the quality of regulatory and subsidy regimes. The study highlights several key policy findings and recommends changes [detailed...]

Institutions, Production, and Working Life

2007 y.
Publisher:
Description: What is the link between working life and the nature of production on the one hand, and the changing organization of the firms and institutions in which work and production take place? In this book leading socio-economic theorists analyse how these have changed over the last two decades. They look at changing employment practices and systems of work, and link these to political, social, and institutional reforms, the degree of continuity and change in working life, the attitudianal and behavioural consequences of recent changes in the world of work, and the implications of these changes for worker health and well-being. The contributions incorporate macro- and micro-level analyses and draw on a range of different and disciplinary approaches, including regulation, institutional, and labour process theory. Contributors include: * Robert Boyer, * J. Rogers Hollingsworth, * Mick Marchington, * Jill Rubery, * Ray Hudson, * Andrew Sayer, * Russell Lansbury, * Erik Olin Wright, * Jamie [detailed...]

Institutions, Social Norms and Economic Development (Fundamentals of Development Economics)

y.
Publisher:
Description: In order for economic specialization to develop, it is important that well-defined property rights are established and that suspicion and fear of fraud do not pervade transactions. Such conditions cannot be created ex abrupto but must somehow evolve. What needs to develop are not only suitable practices and rules themselves, but also the public agencies and moral environment without which generalized trust is difficult to establish. The cultural endowment of societies as they have developed over their particular histories is bound to play a major role in this regard, and the matter of cultural endowment is one of the central themes of this book. On the other hand, division of labour does not only require well-enforced property rights and trust in economic dealings. It is also critically conditioned by the thickness of economic space, itself dependent on population density. This provides the second major theme of the volume: market development, including the development of private [detailed...]

Institutions, Sustainability, and Natural Resources : Institutions for Sustainable Forest Management (Sustainability, Economics, and Natural Resources)

2005 y.
Publisher:
Description: Book DescriptionA new economic theory, rather than a new public policy based on old theory, is needed to guide humanity toward sustainability. Institutions are a critical dimension of sustainability and sustainable forest management, and economic analysis of institutional dimension requires an inclusionist rather than an exclusionist approach. This book provides a systematic critique of neoclassical economic approaches and their limitations with respect to sustainability. Leading institutional economistsdiscuss theoretical perspectives about appropriate institutions for sustainable forest management, markets for environmental services, deforestation and specialization, and some country experiences about Kyoto Protocol, international trade, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable forest management in general. The book includes the ideas from old as well as new institutional economics and discusses the main features of Post-Newtonian economics. This book follows a companion book, [detailed...]

Instruction and Imagery in Proverbs 1-9

2007 y.
Publisher:
Description: A detailed examination of Proverbs 1-9, an early Jewish poetic work. Stuart Weeks incorporates studies of literature from ancient Egypt and from the Dead Sea scrolls, but his focus is on the background and use of certain key images in the text. Proverbs 1-9 belongs to an important class of biblical literature (wisdom literature), and is less well known as a whole than the related books of Job and Ecclesiastes, partly because it has been viewed until recently as a dull and muddled school-book. However, parts of it have been profoundly influential on the development of both Judaism and Christianity, and occupy a key role in modern feminist theology. Weeks demonstrates that those parts belong to a much broader and more intricate set of ideas than older scholarship allowed. [detailed...]

Instructor Competencies: Standards for Face-to-Face, Online and Blended Settings

2004 y.
Publisher:
Description: This edition is not just a rehash of old, albeit classic and still important, stuff. Instead, it provides a fresh perspective on a topic of perennial interest for those working in the field that has been variously called training and development, human resource development, performance technology, and workplace learning and performance. The fresh perspective takes into consideration two additional instructor settings to the traditional face-to-face environments that most instructors and trainers know -- that is, online and blended settings. These settings are, of course, becoming more critical as instruction moves beyond classroom settings to include virtual and combinations of classroom and other media delivery methods. The ibstpi instructor competencies match up well to Mapping the Future (Bernthal, Colteryahn, Davis, Naughton, Rothwell, &, Wellins 2004), the current ASTD competency study of the field now known as Workplace Learning and Performance (WLP) and previously known as [detailed...]

Instrumental Teaching

2008 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: What are instrumental lessons for? And why do so many students want to `give up` when they have only just begun? These are just some of the questions examined in this thought-provoking and entertaining book, which draws on research and on the author`s wealth of experience to encourage teachers to build upon the strengths of current practice. Instrumental Teaching is for both those who have been teaching for many years and those who are starting out. It focuses on learning by young people but also ranges more widely, and it relates to all teachers, wherever they teach. Janet Mills asks probing questions such as `why teach?` - and `why learn?` - and provides practical advice on subjects including `the first lesson`. She addresses the thorny issue of practice, and explores myths such as the notion that some instruments require particular physical or personal attributes. This book will challenge and inspire anyone who is, or is thinking of becoming, an instrumental teacher. [detailed...]

After introducing the techniques behind the design of experiments (DOE), the book discusses several technologies for implementing vibration isolation, the design of a high-accuracy pressure transducer, and the use of cold-wire thermometers for measuring rapidly fluctuating fluid temperatures. It then focuses on a basic piezoelectric actuator that provides translational motions up to about 1mm full scale with nanometer resolution, before covering instruments used to [detailed...]
