Book excerpt: Las Instituciones de Educación Superior (lES) desempeñan un papel determinante a través de la provisión de un bien público que tiene implicaciones directas en el desarrollo social y económico de los países. Reconociendo la importancia que tiene la estructura de gobierno en estas instituciones, este libro presenta un diagnóstico de las diferentes formas de gobierno que emplean las lES en Colombia, identificando y analizando las dinámicas de interacción, y los conflictos que se presentan entre los diferentes grupos de interés y los órganos de gobierno, para utilizar esta evaluación como un punto de partida que aliente la reflexión de los directivos de las lES colombianas, y permita al gobierno establecer acciones de política pública encaminadas a garantizar estructuras de gobierno académico apropiadas. Para cumplir con este objetivo, en la introducción del libro se resalta la importancia de este estudio, se presenta la muestra de las lES que hacen parte del mismo y se describe la metodología implementada. Luego, en el primer capítulo se realiza una revisión de la literatura relacionada con el nuevo enfoque gerencial, o new managerialism, que está permeando el gobierno en las lES, así como de los fundamentos teóricos que soportan el modelo de gobierno corporativo, a la vez que se discuten los elementos del mismo que pueden ser aplicables en la educación superior. El libro es el resultado de una primera aproximación a la temática abordada en un estudio piloto, descriptivo y exploratorio financiado por el Ministerio de Educación Nacional como parte de un proyecto estratégico de fortalecimiento de la capacidad investigativa y de innovación de las instituciones educativas. La descripción realizada y los resultados presentados constituyen un punto de partida para una agenda de investigación del ejercicio del gobierno en las lES.Para cumplir con este objetivo, en la introducción del libro se resalta la importancia de este estudio, se presenta la muestra de las lES que hacen parte del mismo y se describe la metodología implementada.

Download or read book Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development written by Amedeo Fossati and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many countries tourism is an industry of great economic significance; it is seen as a main instrument for regional development, as it stimulates new economic activities. Tourism may have a positive economic impact on the balance of payments, on employment, on gross income and production, but it may also have negative effects, particularly on the environment. Questions arise as to whether it is possible to keep on developing tourism in a certain area without negative or irreversible influences on the environment. Tourism and Sustainable Economic Development provides a theoretical framework for these problems, as well as practical illustrations on the following topics: the conditions under which specialization in tourism is not harmful for economic growth; the trade-offs, if any, between tourism development and economic growth; the need for government intervention and the various policy options and instruments available to policy makers. The book comprises two parts. The first part presents general views on tourism and sustainable economic development, and some opinions on the relationship between tourism and the environment. Some of the basic concepts implicit in sustainability are examined in relation to regional development, urban tourism, art cities, and rural tourism. The second part of the book concentrates on strategies and policy instruments. The purpose is to concisely define and bring together some policies which appear to be necessary, and whose implementation is required if we are to reconcile tourism development with the protection and conservation of the environment. Some analytical tools for policy making with regard to tourism and the environment are developed. As will become clear, there are many gaps in our knowledge that need to be filled if we are to be successful in controlling tourism in a way that puts this important industry onto a sustainable development path.

Download or read book Under New Public Management written by Alison I. Griffith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The institutional ethnographies collected in Under New Public Management explore how new managerial governance practices coordinate the work of people doing front-line work in public sectors such as health, education, social services, and international development, and people management in the private sector. In these fields, organizations have increasingly adopted private-sector management techniques, such as standardized and quantitative measures of performance and an obsession with cost reductions and efficiency. These practices of “new public management” are changing the ways in which front-line workers engage with their clients, students, or patients. Using research drawn from Canada, the United States, Australia, and Denmark, the contributors expose how standardized managerial requirements are created and applied, and how they affect the practicalities of working with people whose lives and experiences are complex and unique.

Download or read book bookdown written by Yihui Xie and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: bookdown: Authoring Books and Technical Documents with R Markdown presents a much easier way to write books and technical publications than traditional tools such as LaTeX and Word. The bookdown package inherits the simplicity of syntax and flexibility for data analysis from R Markdown, and extends R Markdown for technical writing, so that you can make better use of document elements such as figures, tables, equations, theorems, citations, and references. Similar to LaTeX, you can number and cross-reference these elements with bookdown. Your document can even include live examples so readers can interact with them while reading the book. The book can be rendered to multiple output formats, including LaTeX/PDF, HTML, EPUB, and Word, thus making it easy to put your documents online. The style and theme of these output formats can be customized. We used books and R primarily for examples in this book, but bookdown is not only for books or R. Most features introduced in this book also apply to other types of publications: journal papers, reports, dissertations, course handouts, study notes, and even novels. You do not have to use R, either. Other choices of computing languages include Python, C, C++, SQL, Bash, Stan, JavaScript, and so on, although R is best supported. You can also leave out computing, for example, to write a fiction. This book itself is an example of publishing with bookdown and R Markdown, and its source is fully available on GitHub.

Download or read book Risk Habitat Megacity written by Dirk Heinrichs and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Megacity development and the inherent risks and opportunities for humans and the environment is a theme of growing urgency in the 21st century. Focusing on Latin America where urbanization is most advanced, this book studies the complexity of a ‘mega-urban system’ and explores interrelations between sectors and issues by providing an in-depths study of one particular city, Santiago de Chile. The book attempts to (i) focus on the emergence of risk in megacities by analyzing risk elements, (ii) evaluate the extent and severity of risks, (iii) develop strategies to cope with adverse risks, and (iv) to guide urban development by combining concepts with empirical evidence. Drawing on the work of an interdisciplinary and international consortium of academic and professional partners, the book is written for scholars in cross-cutting areas of urban, sustainability, hazard, governance and planning research as well as practitioners from local, regional and international organizations.

Download or read book The Femme Fatale written by Julie Grossman and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-18 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The femme Fatale takes a long view on the figure of the femme fatale, exploring her style, language, and stories from silent cinema to contemporary television. Author Julie Grossman provides a history of some of this dynamic figure's eruptions in film, TV, and culture generally, exploring the notions of female ambition, frustration, and intelligence that undergird the power and fascination of the femme fatale across time and media. We see how the fatal woman often mediates contradictory views on women's lives and their desire to gain fulfillment in a hostile or otherwise challenging environment. Embodied by some of the most charismatic female performers in Hollywood history, from Theda Bara and Barbara Stanwyck to Hedy Lamarr, Reese Witherspoon, and Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh, the femme fatale remains an active source of pleasure and subversion. Femmes Fatales pays particular attention to performance not only as a prominent feature of these works' production-established in part through references to studio press books and popular reviews--but also as a theme within the narrative (in, for example, the idea of the deceitful, untrustworthy, or "performing" woman). Focusing on expressive moments and scenes in texts that are celebrated and also those that are lesser known, this volume attends to the variety, trauma, wit, and transgressions of the femme fatale, emphasizing how this figure continually provokes us to reflect on rigid conventions and social roles. Femmes Fatales generates questions and analysis that speak to why stories about gender and criminality featuring tough and smart women are so endlessly thrilling"--
