ISBN: 9780821396322 / Angielski / Miękka / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Performance of Manufacturing Firms in Africa: An Empirical Analysis sheds light on the characteristics of formal and informal manufacturing firms in Africa by comparing these firms with firms in other regions.

Most African manufacturing firms are informal, perhaps because the enforcement of registration and licensing regulations is not strict. These firms are also smaller than firms in other regions and few export. Labor productivity is low in Africa relative...

The University in the Age of Globalization: Rankings, Resources and Reforms
ISBN: 9780230364004 / Angielski / Twarda / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This collection proposes an agonistic approach to international ethics and politics, eschewing a rationalism that radically privileges white Western...
