Las Alianzas Público Privadas ¿Interés General Versus Interés Particular?, Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

Francisco Carlos Ruiz Diaz

La economía lleva 238 como ciencia, pero los economistas siguen sin ponerse de acuerdo respecto al rol del Estado en los asuntos económicos. Por un lado, los defensores del liberalismo económico sostienen que el rol del Estado en los asuntos económicos debe ser marginal. Por otra parte, los defensores del intervencionismo creen que el Estado debe ingresar al ruedo económico para velar por el interés general. Interés general versus individualismo ¿Una discusión sin posibilidad de acuerdo? En los años setenta surgió una poderosa herramienta que logró sintetizar el pensamiento liberal y el intervencionista: la Asociación Público-Privada (APP).

Study Of Current Marketing Behavior Practices For Application Of Marketing Behavior Matrix In Online Marketing, Dipanjay Jayant Bhalerao

Dipanjay Jayant Bhalerao

Behavioral aspect in marketing domain has been crucial majorly from consumer‟s point of view. Since 1957, exceptthe theory of MBEA (Marketing Behavior and Executive Action) by Prof. Wroe Alderson, the behavioral part was researched only in the consumer buying behavior arena. In the words of Prof. Wroe Alderson –“All marketing activity is an aspect of the interaction among organized behavior systems related to each other in what may be described as an ecological network. Operating systems are a subclass of behavior systems, distinguished by inputs and outputs and the structuring of processes to achieve efficiency” (Wroe Alderson, 1957). As per …

Modele Biznesowe A Kapitał Intelektualny Przedsiębiorstwa, Anna Ujwary-Gil Jan 2014

Modele Biznesowe A Kapitał Intelektualny Przedsiębiorstwa, Anna Ujwary-Gil

Anna Ujwary-Gil

Streszczenie:Rozwój koncepcji modelu biznesowego oraz kapitału intelektualnego przedsiębiorstwa datuje się na lata 90. ubiegłego stulecia. Zaskakujący pozostaje fakt, że w ostatnich dwóch dekadach pojawiło się niewiele publikacji omawiających wpływ kapitału intelektualnego na tworzenie, funkcjonowanie czy innowacyjność modeli biznesowych, a koncepcja modelu biznesowego nie znajduje szerszego odzwierciedlenia w literaturze z zakresu zarządzania i pomiaru kapitału intelektualnego przedsiębiorstwa. Tymczasem w ramach tych dwóch koncepcji istnieje wiele obszarów analiz, które się pokrywają, a do których bez wątpienia należą: tworzenie wartości, wartość dodana, przewaga konkurencyjna, umiejętności, kompetencje, czy zasoby niematerialne. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie wspólnych elementów tych koncepcji, zarysowanie kierunków dalszych badań, szczególnie jeśli …

Игры В Призрачном Мире Теневой Банковской Деятельности, Bryane Michael Jan 2014

Игры В Призрачном Мире Теневой Банковской Деятельности, Bryane Michael

Брайн Майкл

В своем анализе мы, ско- рее, делаем акцент на способах, позволяю- щих теневому банковскому сектору прино- сить пользу отдельным предпринимателям и компаниям на быстроразвивающихся рынках. Кредиты от таких «небанковских финансовых учреждений», как их часто на- зывают, способны помочь в ослаблении се- рьезных кредитных ограничений во многих анализируемых нами экономических систе- мах. Вследствие этого мы предпочли сосре- доточиться на том, каким образом отдель- ные предприниматели и компании могут предоставлять недорогие кредиты, предла- гать инвесторам доход, генерируемый та- кими кредитами, и при этом по-прежнему получать прибыль.

Sociaal Ondernemen In De Jeugdhulp. Leidraad Op Basis Van Het Emk Ondersteuningsaanbod, Astrid Coates, Wim Van Opstal

Wim Van Opstal

De sector van de bijzondere jeugdzorg bevindt zich op een scharniermoment. Op 1 maart 2014 treedt immers de integrale jeugdhulp in heel Vlaanderen in werking. Met een nieuwe decretale omgeving wordt het landschap van de jeugdhulp hertekend en dat zorgt voor nieuwe uitdagingen. Het doel is immers dat elke jongere met een probleem zo snel mogelijk de juiste hulp vindt. Door in te grijpen op de organisatie en de werking van de bestaande jeugdhulp, wordt het nieuwe landschap veel overzichtelijker, in het bijzonder voor de cliënt maar ook voor de jeugdhulpverleners zelf.

De sector van de bijzondere jeugdzorg staat in …


1. The Establishment Of Industrial Branding Through Dyadic Logistics Partnership Success (Lps): The Case Of Malaysian Automotive And Logistics Industry, Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman, Tc Melewar, Am Sharif Jan 2014

1. The Establishment Of Industrial Branding Through Dyadic Logistics Partnership Success (Lps): The Case Of Malaysian Automotive And Logistics Industry, Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman, Tc Melewar, Am Sharif

Nor Aida Binti Abdul Rahman

Logistics partnerships across dyadic and triadic relationship networks have been the basis of extensive research in the extant literature. It is well understood that competitive advantage within logistics and distribution and within supply chains are driven by value-adding aspects of not only the core competencies of each tier in the network, but also via tangential supporting factors. It is also well understood that there is a strong relationship between logistics and distribution and marketing functions, particularly in product-based organisations. In addition to deepening our understanding of how successful partnerships throughout the source–make–deliver continuum can be optimised this research also seeks …

Conflict Management, Value Making And Value Taking In Small Firm Manufacturing Networks, Martin Mathews

Martin Mathews

The purpose of this paper is to examine conflict management in exchanges in small firm networks which are embedded in the dense socio-economic exchanges that typify industrial districts. Informal conflict management strategies used by managers in vertical and horizontal, symmetrical and asymmetrical relationships are identified and analysed. The methodology chosen is that of in-depth semi-structured interviews with 22 small company owner/managers in an industrial district in the south-east of France. Interviews were conducted with a highly homogenous group of company managers of firms smaller than 50 employees. Results point to managers adopting accommodating behaviours in conflicts with larger clients and …


Governing Knowledge For Development: Knowledge Clusters In Brunei Darussalam And Malaysia, Hans-Dieter Evers Jan 2014

Governing Knowledge For Development: Knowledge Clusters In Brunei Darussalam And Malaysia, Hans-Dieter Evers

Hans-Dieter Evers

With the dwindling of natural resources, like oil and gas, even resource-rich countries like Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia have to re-adjust their development strategies. Governing knowledge for development (K4D) is seen as a way out of the dilemma of reduced revenues from natural resources. This paper analyses the attempts to create knowledge clusters as a strategy to move Brunei and Malaysia towards knowledge-based economies. Our study shows that several knowledge clusters have already been established in Peninsular Malaysia and are starting to emerge in Brunei Darussalam. The paper is structured as follows: the first section explains the dangers of falling …


Prohibition And The American Dream: An Analysis Of The Entrepreneurial Life And Times Of Al Capone, Waata Hipango Jr., Robert Smith, Leo Paul Dana Jan 2014

Prohibition And The American Dream: An Analysis Of The Entrepreneurial Life And Times Of Al Capone, Waata Hipango Jr., Robert Smith, Leo Paul Dana

Leo- Paul Dana

The iconic figure of Al Capone is arguably the most prominent figure of organised crime. Both biographers and scholars have analysed his life and behaviour. Hollywood has immortalised his character in film. Today, the name Capone remains synonymous with the word gangster. Although Capone owned businesses of a legitimate nature, illicit ventures and the spectre of the gangster-entrepreneur define his practice of entrepreneurship. In an attempt to understand Capone as an entrepreneur, this paper explores his entrepreneurial behaviour within an analysis of his resource profile, his Italian-American culture and the social context of the USA in the early 20th century.


Migrant Entrepreneurship, Economic Activity And Export Performance: Mapping The Danish Trends, Nikita Baklanov, Shahamak Rezaei, Jan Vang, Leo Paul Dana Jan 2014

Migrant Entrepreneurship, Economic Activity And Export Performance: Mapping The Danish Trends, Nikita Baklanov, Shahamak Rezaei, Jan Vang, Leo Paul Dana

Leo- Paul Dana

Recent studies on transnational entrepreneurship suggest that migrant entrepreneur plays an increasingly significant role as sources of economic activities and especially export revenue. The literature is, however, biased on the US experience, lacks a comparative perspective between migrants and non-migrants and is primarily anecdotal in nature. This paper aims to reduce this gap by mapping the recent changes in the role of migrant entrepreneurs as a source of increased economic activity and export revenue in the Danish context and thereby linking the challenges stemming from the transnational entrepreneurship literature to the immigration and internationalisation of entrepreneurship literature. Entrepreneurial economic activity …


Mining And Communities In The Arctic: Lessons From Baker Lake, Canada, Leo Paul Dana, Robert Brent Anderson Jan 2014

Mining And Communities In The Arctic: Lessons From Baker Lake, Canada, Leo Paul Dana, Robert Brent Anderson

Leo- Paul Dana

In this paper, we explore mining in Arctic Canada from the perspective of the people on the communities there, in particular the Inuit, the pre-colonial people of the area. To do so, we first provide a brief overview of the history of mining in Canada including recent incursions into Nunavut. Then, we examine the place of aboriginal people including the Inuit in the modern global economy. We focus on their desire to participate in this economy on their own terms, meaning the respect of traditional land rights, and the respect and incorporation of traditional environmental knowledge, culture, values and practices …

Types Of Governance, Financial Policy And The Financial Performance Of Micro-Family-Owned Businesses In Canada, Amarjit Gill, Alan B. Flaschner, Susan Mann, Leo Paul Dana

Leo- Paul Dana

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of type of governance on financial policy and financial performance of micro-family-owned businesses in Canada. This study utilised survey research (a non-experimental field study design). Micro-family-business owners from Western Canada were asked about their beliefs, perceptions and feelings regarding type of governance, financial policy and financial performance. The findings of this study indicate that type of governance positively impacts financial policy. The results also show that both type of governance and financial policy positively impact the financial performance of the micro-family-owned businesses in Canada. This study contributes to the literature …
