Download or read book Evaluation for the real world written by Palfrey, Colin and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evaluation research findings should be a key element of the policy-making process, yet in reality they are often disregarded. This valuable book examines the development of evaluation and its impact on public policy by analysing evaluation frameworks and criteria which are available when evaluating public policies and services. It further examines the nature of evidence and its use and non-use by decision-makers and assesses the work of influential academics in the USA and UK in the context of evaluation and policy making. The book emphasises the 'real world' of decision-makers in the public sector and recognises how political demands and economic pressures can affect the decisions of those who commission evaluation research while providing recommendations for policymakers on adopting a different approach to evaluation. This is essential reading for under-graduate and post-graduate students of policy analysis and public sector management, and those who are involved in the planning and evaluation of public policies and services.

Download or read book The EU Budget The UK Rebate and the CAP Phasing them both out written by Jorge Núñez Ferrer and published by CEPS. This book was released on 2007 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CEPS Task Force on the EU budget began its deliberations shortly after the December 2005 Council Decision, embracing all aspects of the budget and culminating, after more than a year of preparation, in this report. This report offers a structure for evaluating the EU's expenditures and future reform options based on a set of guiding principles drawn from the EU Treaties and precepts of good governance. It goes on to identify the misallocation of resources as a central cause of the net balance disputes that plague the system and undermine its fairness. To ensure that the EU is able to act in areas of real value, the report concludes that improvements in the rationale for the expenditures and an increase in the quality of interventions must occur in tandem with an elimination of distortions in the resources mechanism.

Download or read book Opposites attract written by Hilda Bø Lyng and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-industry innovation introduces a dilemma for the innovation process. On one hand, there is a broad consensus in research that diversity in knowledge leads to increased levels of novelty in innovation. On the other hand, the crossing of industries boundaries is known to cause knowledge boundaries between actors. This book contributes to this end, by the development of new understanding of important aspects in cross-industry innovation. The empirical bases for this research are case data from the Pumps & Pipes association in US and Norway (conferences and 7 Norwegian cross-industry collaborations), and cross-industry cases from the Norway Health Tech cluster.

Download or read book Perspectives and Implications for the Development of Information Infrastructures written by Constantinides, Panos and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2012-05-31 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the same way that infrastructures such as transportation, electricity, sewage, and water supply are widely assumed to be integrators of urban spaces, information infrastructures are assumed to be integrators of information spaces. With the advent of Web 2.0 and new types of information infrastructures such as online social networks and smart mobile platforms, a more in-depth understanding of the various rights to access, use, develop, and modify information infrastructure resources is necessary. Perspectives and Implications for the Development of Information Infrastructures aims at addressing this need by offering a fresh new perspective on information infrastructure development. It achieves this by drawing on and adapting theory that was initially developed to study natural resource commons arrangements such as inshore fisheries, forests, irrigation systems, and pastures, while placing great emphasis on the complex problems and social dilemmas that often arise in the negotiations.

Download or read book Value Focused Business Process Engineering a Systems Approach written by Dina Neiger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-16 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the keys to successful business process engineering is tight alignment of processes with organisational goals and values. Historically, however, it has always been difficult to relate different levels of organizational processes to the strategic and operational objectives of a complex organization with many interrelated and interdependent processes and goals. This lack of integration is especially well recognized within the Human Resource Management (HRM) discipline, where there is a clearly defined need for greater alignment of HRM processes with the overall organizational objectives. Value-Focused Business Process Engineering is a monograph that combines and extends the best on offer in Information Systems and Operations Research/Decision Sciences modelling paradigms to facilitate gains in both business efficiency and business effectiveness.

The status of all major worldwide harmonization and cooperation initiatives (at bilateral, regional, and global levels) The value of cooperation in the pharmaceutical sector and the driving factors behind harmonization The proposition of a structure for the global pharmaceutical system and timely recommendations for enhancing international cooperation, as well as further discussion and policy changes in this area
Download or read book The Impact of International Debt Relief written by A. Geske Dijkstra and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-29 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International debt relief continues to be a highly controversial subject. Although many heavily indebted poor countries have received large amounts of debt relief over the past quarter of a century, it doesn’t appear to be enough. This book examines the impact of international debt relief efforts since 1990. It assesses whether the various debt relief modalities have enhanced economic growth in eight highly indebted countries in Latin America and Africa. Dijkstra argues that fundamental changes of the international aid and debt architecture are necessary to stop the flow of new multilateral loans and the possible perverse effects of conditionality.

Download or read book Addiction written by Shahram Heshmat and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Addiction: A Behavioral Economic Perspective focuses on the behavioral economics of addiction to explain why someone decides and act against her own well-being. It answers the questions of what accounts for self-defeating behavior patterns and how do we best motivate individuals to act according with their long-term goals. A better understanding of decision processes will lead to an improved knowledge of why people engage in self-destructive behaviors and better policy interventions in areas of addiction and obesity. The approach also promises to be valuable as a framework for understanding decisions for an addict’s professional and business life. This book will be of particular use to clinicians, students, and researchers in the fields of addiction, public health, and behavior therapy.
