Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That a developing economy needs management even more than resources is now becoming abundantly clear to all students of growth. There was perhaps a facile assumption in the earlier years that the rate of growth in a developing country depended in almost direct proportion to two factors: the resources available within the country, the land, water, minerals, savings and other relevant inputs; and the initial importation of aid from without, in terms of capital and skills not available within - but the factor of good management was somehow ignored, as also the attitudes of the people and their leadership to growth. These two factors are now coming into their own as being crucial to development and there is a new appreciation of the need for a good supply of well trained managers and providing them with an environment that is permissive and encouraging. These essays are a timely analysis of this new-felt need, and a valuable source of new leads and hypotheses, for they examine the multi-facets of the problem of India's growth, but with keeping the professional manager squarely in the middle of the study. And after all it is he upon whom the major responsibility for develop ment and growth will depend, given the chance. The contributors to this symposium are seven young Indians, all management educators of distinction at universities in the United States, and one hopes that they will themselves pick up some of the leads and pursue them.

Download or read book Human Capital and Economic Growth written by Andreas Savvides and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-10 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an in-depth investigation of the link between human capital and economic growth. The authors take an innovative approach, examining the determinants of economic growth through a historical overview of the concept of human capital. The text fosters a deep understanding of the connection between human capital and economic growth through the exploration of different theoretical approaches, a review of the literature, and the application of nonlinear estimation techniques to a comprehensive data set. The authors discuss nonparametric econometric techniques and their application to estimating nonlinearities—which has emerged as one of the most salient features of empirical work in modeling the human capital-growth relationship, and the process of economic growth in general. By delving into the topic from theoretical and empirical standpoints, this book offers an insightful new view that will be extremely useful for scholars, students, and policy makers.

Book excerpt: This book on HRD is a product of many years of my teaching and learning experience at different UG and PG Govt. colleges in the state of Haryana. There is no such book of Human Resource Development available in the market where students of B.A. Economics (Hons.) & M.A. can find the whole syllabus for the preparation of final examinations. Students have to consult a number of books, papers, articles, journals etc. to cover the entire course of study of Human Resource Development for B. A. Economics (Hons.) Semester-VI. This necessitated the publication of this book entitled-'Fundamentals of Human Resource Development so that students can have entire course of study at one place. Students from rural areas will find it very comfortable as language used in this book is very simple and clear. The contribution of some eminent scholars like- Nadler, Swanson, Monika Lee, T. V. Rao and M. N. Khan has immensely influenced my understanding and interest in the subject of HRD. The book describes traditional as well as modern developments in HRD. I am sure this book will be highly valuable to the teachers, students and HRD practitioners.
