Technology Development: Were The Developing Countries On The Wrong Track During The Last Three Decades?, C V S Ratnam

IIMB Management Review

Since the end of World War II, the tremendous development of technology, and its application in producing goods and services in abundance continued to make life of human beings satisfactory. In this effort, countries in Europe, the USA and later on Japan made great progress. Witnessing these developments, developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America made efforts to encourage pursuit of science and technology and their applications for the establishment of industry, and production of goods and services for their people. However, advances that had taken place in countries in Europe, the USA and Japan did not come about …

The Intergenerational Invisible Hand: A Comment On Sartorius's "Government Regulation And Intergenerational Justice", Arthur M. Diamond Jr.

Economics Faculty Publications

In "Government Regulation and Intergenerational Justice," Rolf Sartorius argues that some government regulation is justified in order to protect the rights of the unborn.' More than half of his paper is a discussion of the theory that views the only justifiable function of government as the "umpirage of the law of nature." In the remainder of his paper, he argues for an extension of the theory in order to justify regulation as well as umpirage. In particular, he argues that protecting the rights of the unborn represents an especially strong case where government regulation is justified.

Developments In The Agricultural Sector During The Second Quarter Of 1987, Central Bank Of Nigeria Cbn

Economic and Financial Review

The widespread concern expressed about possible adverse effects of late arrival of rains abated slightly towards the end of the quarter. This was because in the south, middle belt and sudan savannah regions, the level of rain allowed early crops like maize, yam, groundnut and vegetables to be planted, nurtured and in some cases harvested. In the northern parts of the country, especially the sahelian zones, farmers experienced their first rains which facilitated land preparation activities as well as plan ting, especially in Kaduna, Bomo and Sokoto states. A total of 130, 952.35 tonnes of fertiliser were discharged at the …

Management Training In Small Business, Harry L. Bargholz

Theses

Human Resources Professionals are often faced with the issue of "the need for and usefulness of management training." In addition, small business people believe that the needed training is unwanted and, in somecases, impossible to deliver. On the other side of the issue, training supporters point to the need for knowledge, the constant obsolescence of learned skills and the highly competitive nature of the marketplace.

The argument continues that whereas managers in larger firms may be able to afford numerous in-house training programs or be able to send employees to assorted workshops and conferences, the manager in a small enterprise …

Management And Organizational Effectiveness Examined : Past Practices And Theories Versus The Future, Ronald J. Boyer

Theses

The primary objective for this thesis is to collect and analyze data on how a new model for business organizations might best be formulated. There seems to be a consensus among authorities in the field that because modern business practices are so complex, indeed they have been revolutionized in many areas in the past decade. New organizational techniques must be devised if organizations are to remain as effective and as efficient as in the previous area. Some have claimed that the present structural model has reached the point of no return-that is, no longer functional because of such factors as …

Empirical Study On Employee's Ownership, Anthony Chuks Ibida

Theses

Employees Ownership in the United States has been in existence for many years and it seemed to be a utopian idea of no real consequence to the general public. Now employee ownership has gone a drastic change and it has become a major focus of media attention, and we are observing an extra ordinarily rapid increase in interest and involvement among practitioners in law, banking, and organizational consulting, along with growing government interest.

As the name indicates employees ownership or worker cooperative firms have a long but spotty history in the United States. Some researchers traced over eight hundred firms …

Measuring Natural Resource Scarcity Under Common Property Environment And Uncertainty: An Interpretive Analysis, Soumendra N. Ghosh

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The issue of natural resource scarcity has so far been addressed in the literature on the basis of various measures such as the unit cost of production, the relative market price, and the shadow price of a resource. Although it has been recognized that there exists some kind of jointness (sometimes inseparable) between an extractible resource and its surrounding environment, none of the measures, either theoretically or empirically, have included this concern.

In order to extract and use a natural resource (e.g., coal) the environment (air, water, etc.) must also be used as a repository of the discharged wastes (e.g., …

An Analysis Of Some Effects Of China's Foreign Trade On Its Economy, Wei Jiang

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The central planning board in China issues orders to each economic agent mainly through two channels, ministries and provinces. These orders become the targets for every specific economic agent. The orders to the Foreign Trade Ministry become the targets for all import and export corporations, provincial foreign trade bureaus, and branch corporations. The activities of all branch corporations comprise China's foreign trade business.

The activities of the foreign trade sector are certainly influenced by features of the entire economy such as the domestic fixed-price system and labor immobility. These factors not only constrain foreign trade activities but also cause inefficiency …

Study Of America's Adopt-A-Horse (Or Burro) Program, Peter A. Lawson

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

This study analyzes aspects of Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro adoptions. After primary data are gathered by a questionnaire sent to wild horse and burro adopters, various statistics, and regression test results are reported, which indicate that the demand for the wild horses is multifaceted and that the wild animals are not a homogeneous product. The results overwhelmingly indicate that young and female horses are preferred by the majority of adopters. This finding had supportive evidence in both a price determination model as well as adopters' responses to the survey that was conducted as a part of this study. …
