Edible Oil Consumption: Need For Change In Rural India, Aneeja Guttikonda
Edible Oil Consumption: Need For Change In Rural India, Aneeja Guttikonda
aneeja guttikonda
In India, edible oils are a significant source of essential fats. however, fat intake is almost absent among the rural poor, for whom edible oils are largely unaffordable. Edible oil consumption should be encouraged among the rural poor by supply via PDS at low cost. Steps to boost cultivation and lower the cost of production and import will also help to meet requirements.
Hybrid Organizations And The Alignment Of Interests: The Case Of Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac, Jonathan Koppell
Hybrid Organizations And The Alignment Of Interests: The Case Of Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac, Jonathan Koppell
Jonathan GS Koppell
This article explores the political influence of government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). Using Congress's overhaul of the regulatory infrastructure for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as a case study, the article presents two principal findings: (1) The characteristics that distinguish government-sponsored enterprises from traditional government agencies and private companies endow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with unique political resources; and (2) the alignment of interest groups around Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is subject to strategic manipulation by the GSEs. A triangular model of this alignment is proposed and employed to analyze the legislative outcome. The case has implications for students of …

Die hier vorgestellte Studie „Analyse und Evaluation der Softwareentwicklung in Deutschland" [2] wurde von der GfK Marktforschung GmbH in Zusammenarbeit mit den Fraunhofer-Instituten für Experimentelles Software Engineering (IESE) und für Systemtechnik und Innovationsforschung (ISI) für das Bundesmini¬sterium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) durchgeführt. Ziel der Untersuchung war es, den nationalen Softwaremarkt, der sich immer mehr zu einem der Schlüsselmärkte entwickelt, quantitativ und qualitativ zu charakterisieren sowie in seiner weiteren Entwicklung und seinen Anforderungen zu beschreiben.
Us Manufacturing Extension Partnerships: Technology Policy Reinvented, Philip Shapira
Us Manufacturing Extension Partnerships: Technology Policy Reinvented, Philip Shapira
Philip Shapira
The US manufacturing extension partnership (MEP) is examined as an example of the new partnership paradigm in US technology policy. The MEP provides technology assistance services, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Influenced by aims to reinvent government and reorient technology policy, the MEP seeks to be comprehensive, collaborative, and demand-driven. However, the MEP’s partnered management style is constrained by political and industrial systems that continue to operate on traditional lines. After probing these tensions, the paper offers insights for the MEP’s future development and for other technology and innovation policies that seek to emulate the MEP’s partnership approach.

Public Sector: Early Stage Of A Deep Transformation, Jane E. Fountain, Carlos A. Osorio-Urzua
Public Sector: Early Stage Of A Deep Transformation, Jane E. Fountain, Carlos A. Osorio-Urzua
Jane E. Fountain
American government is in the early stages of deep transformation as a result of the Internet and a host of related developments in information and communications technologies. Rapid growth of web-based applications in the government sector promises significant cost savings through structural changes in the production and delivery of government information and services. Deeper organizational and institutional restructuring in government is likely to generate further efficiency gains. But cost savings that result from institutional and organizational transformation are more difficult to calculate because savings due to technology cannot be disaggregated from those due to structural modification. Furthermore, it is in …
Chapter 10: Upper-Middle-Class Politics And Policy Outcomes: Does Class Identity Matter?, Herman L. Boschken
Chapter 10: Upper-Middle-Class Politics And Policy Outcomes: Does Class Identity Matter?, Herman L. Boschken
Herman L. Boschken
This chapter in Clark and lipset's book on class in American politics resulted from a multi-day workshop at the Woodrow Wilson Center for International Scholars in the summer of 1999. The piece reverses the normal causality of class politics. It does not analyze citizens in elections, but government officials creating policies. It asks why policies differ across localities (specifically public transit decisions in 42 U.S. metropolitan areas). It probes how some government officials work with an "upper-middle-class" citizenry in mind, while others do so less. The chapter then tests for differences across localities and finds quite distinct patterns. The chapter …
The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh
The Status Of The Uniform Guidelines On Employee Selection Procedures: Legal Developments And Future Prospects, Andrew Ewoh, James Guseh
Andrew I.E. Ewoh
This article examines the legal status of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures from the perspectives of judicial opinions and race-norming provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1991. Specifically, the analysis provides a discussion of important U.S. Supreme Court’s decisions with special emphasis on their relevance for disparate impact theory. Because the 1991 Civil Rights Act has altered the selection procedures somewhat, the article offers implications of these changes for personnel managers or specialists and recommends modification of the Uniform Guidelines.
