ISBN: 9781882197163 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There is a growing sense today that organizations and the people that make them up are, to repeat a figure of speech recently used by Robert Kegan, in over their heads.

It is generally agreed that the only effective response to this complexity is development: both at the individual and organizational level. One frequently practiced but imperfectly understood developmental activity is talk. This paper looks at the relationship between talk and development in organizations, noting the ways that developmental...

The farmers you eventually meet are mostly women, hardworking but visibly poor.

ISBN: 9783639056709 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the 1980s Senegal has undergone several economic reforms under the structural adjustment programmes of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. In the context of debt relief, the country is currently privatizing its groundnut economy.
This book shows that if Senegalese groundnut oil production is to continue, then a reform of the sector is absolutely necessary. But it also explains that the present reform is at risk of failure because the policies proposed by the IMF and World Bank do not consider the structural rigidities that hinder liberalized groundnut production within...

Despite the popularity, the role each sector plays in these partnerships has never been studied. The book attempts to fill this gap in scholarship through textual analysis of proposals approved by the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria; the...
