Zimbabwe's Structural Adjustment Programme: The first year experience (Monograph series)

Book Description

This path-breaking study in political economy scrutinizes the theory and practice of conditionality, drawing chiefly on the experiences of twenty-one developing countries. The fatal weakness of conditionality, the book concludes, is that donors are unwilling or unable to withhold aid from governments which renege on policy promises. Deep-rooted factors stand in the way of making conditionality more effective, reliance on which has hence wasted much aid. The book therefore presents ideas from improving donor-recipient relationships in ways which do not rely on an imagined financial leverage.

Book Description

Discussion over the impact of economic aid and development programs in Africa has become much more than an economics debate. In order to produce more effective and humane programs of adjustment for Africa and other developing regions, debate must encompass not only economic impacts but also political, social, and human consequences. This second volume in the Consortium on Human Rights Development's special studies on adjustment programs in Africa combines theory with empirical evidence and economic with political analysis to provide the most comprehensive multi-disciplinary coverage to date on IMF and World Bank adjustment programs in Africa. Building a link between structural adjustment and human rights in Africa, it makes a case for economic and political justice through sustainable development.

Book Description

According to the FAO, one person in three in sub-Saharan Africa suffers from malnutrition, and one in seven is in danger of dying. Most African countries no longer seem capable of ensuring that their people have access to sufficient food. Given the failure of past efforts the objectives of food security policies and their effectiveness have to be reconsidered. This book shows that the debate on food security policies has changed with the passage of time. The entitlement debate triggered by A. Sen had a major influence on this change but, the bearing of socio-economic structures on the food security of African households and their individual members are still not fully recognised.

International Economics: Theory and Policy (6th Edition)

ASIN: 0521880815

Book Description

Globalization has fundamentally changed the game of business. Strategic frameworks developed for the analysis of purely domestic business necessarily fall short in the international business context. Managers and business students require new approaches to understand and cope with these far-reaching changes. We must learn to think globally in order to succeed. Global Competitive Strategy shows how we can do this by providing a unique set of strategic tools for international business. Such tools include the ‘star analysis’ that allows strategy makers to integrate geographic information with market information about the global business environment. Also introduced is the ‘global value connection’ that shows managers how to account for the gains from trade and the costs of trade. Aimed at MBA students taking courses in international strategy, consultants and practising managers with responsibility for strategic development, this book offers a comprehensive strategic framework for gaining competitive advantage in the global marketplace.

Competitive Global management-Principles and strategies.......2003-01-13

A subjective analysis notwithstanding the author's tremendous effort to churn out over 400 pages. The author would be best to discuss the subject from an objective perspective rather than an subjective or normative perspective.

The comment by the anonymous collaborator on Ch. 11 probably be characterized as self-serving. With regard to the anonymous colloborator, if your name was prominently mentioned in Chapter 11, why then did you decide to remain anonymous in commenting this book! Sorry. This book is not worth the money I spent on it.

This book doesn't even deserve the one star.......2002-01-05

This book is terrible. It is subjective rather than objective. The author's writing style is always normative rather than informative. That is, the author constantly uses normative terms like: "must" and "should." The author is either confused about the subject or he has a personal agenda that he is pushing on unsuspecting students. I can't believe this book is part of any course on international business/mgmt. In fact, I can't believe this book was even published. The editor that OK'd this book for publication should be fired. (P.S. I have never felt a need to review any book. But this book is so bad that I just had to warn others before wasting their money and time on this book.)

Extremely informative and insiteful, excellent case studies........1997-05-16

This books subject matter is very informative for an ever shrinking world. Good for anyone considering doing business overseas. The author presents a complete view of global management.

Product Description

Developing Successful ICT Strategies: Competitive Advantages in a Global Knowledge-Driven Society collects an authoritative core of research investigating the notion that information communication technologies (ICTs) have the potential to improve the lives of people and contribute to enhancing social conditions in developing countries through such concepts as the Knowledge Society, open education, and e-governance.

Book Description

This book presents an analysis of the evolution of competitive strategies within the forestry industry. Although the discussion takes place in a relatively narrow field of business on the global scale, the argument is that the chosen context serves as an illustrative setting for a discussion related to global corporate evolution of firms since the industry studied has only recently entered a stage of development characterized by intensified global competition. Moreover, the global forestry industry provides also an ideal setting for the analysis of the changing dynamics of competition within an industry. We propose that the development within the studied industry serves as a symptomatic illustration of the ongoing development processes in other industries: from a competitive setting characterized by a number of small competitors to one dominated by few large equally strong competitors aiming for global presence.

The implications of the study are not restricted to the forestry industry context alone. They extend to other manufacturing industries displaying similar features to the industry studied: maturity, commodity nature, fragmented industry structure, lack of industry leader, and ongoing concentration process. Thus, our contention is that this book contributes to better understanding of the workings of a number of manufacturing industries through discussion of the evolutionary development within the pulp and paper industry.
