Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite significant financial investments, the rate of development and pace of poverty reduction in developing and transitional countries has not always matched expectations. Development management typically involves complex interactions between governmental and non-governmental organisations, donors and members of the public, and can be difficult to navigate. This volume brings together a group of international contributors to explore the theoretical and empirical underpinnings of development management, and to consider the prospects and challenges associated with it in the context of both developing and transitional countries. Referring to dominant norms and values in public and developmental organisations, development management is tied up with the attitudes and perceptions of various stakeholders including: government officials, public sector managers, aid workers, donors and members of the public. Attempting to make sense of complex interactions between these actors is highly problematic and calls for new approaches, models and insights. Based on cutting-edge research, the chapters challenge much of the previous discourse on the subject and evaluate the challenges and opportunities that it presents. Development Management offers academics, researchers and practitioners of public administration, business and management, international development and political science a comprehensive and state-of-the-art review of current research on development management in the context of developing and transitional countries.

Download or read book Talent Management in the Developing World written by Joel Alemibola Elegbe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic and political reforms and globalization in the developing world have led to the emergence of companies that are expanding beyond their national borders into the international arena. The transformation into multinational corporations is generally not accompanied by a change in the way they manage their talent. There is a disconnect between globalization and talent management. Yet the most effective and sustainable source of competitive advantage is talent. Talent Management in the Developing World explores how the policies, systems and procedures that have been successful within national boundaries are inadequate to meet the value propositions of completely different and diverse people working in different countries, cultures, legal and socio-economic environments. In fact they may be dysfunctional to talent management. Using the perspective of the developing world, Dr Elegbe outlines the shift in paradigm and practice that is required if organizations are to develop a sustainable talent management strategy in these countries. A global approach to talent management assures competitiveness and sustainability of success in the international environment but change will not happen until line and HR managers see its urgency and criticality. That is the endeavour of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last two-and-a-half decades, many corporations are beginning to re-conceptualize their roles to include poverty reduction in developing regions. This change is particularly very prominent in the mining sector which, in response to growing public scrutiny, appears to have decisively embraced the idea of community development (CD) in which mining corporations both accept responsibility for poverty reduction and lead coordinated processes towards improving the welfare of rural communities within their operational jurisdictions. This study presents a comprehensive and systematic examination of the change towards CD within Ghanas mining industry focusing on a case study of three multinational gold mining companies. While focusing on the extent of change, the study also pays detailed attention to CD outcomes within the industry and tries to relate differences in CD outcomes to differences of change across companies.

Download or read book A Competitive Talent Management Strategy for a Natural Resources Mining Company in Selected Countries in Africa written by Catharina Elizabeth Van Hoek and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mining industry in Africa faces specific challenges relating to different cultures, beliefs, norms, languages, standards, geographical areas, talent retention, performance management, remuneration, ethics, communication, training and development, black economic empowerment and management relationships. Demand continues to strengthen as reflected in strong growth, and supply is increasingly constrained as development projects become more complex and are typically conducted in more remote, unfamiliar territory. The aim of the study was to build a competitive talent management strategy for a natural resources mining company in selected African countries, by investigating the following objectives: (1) to determine the attitudes of the employees in the mining company towards the five perspectives of talent management, namely procurement, remuneration, performance management, training and development and retention; (2) to determine the main factors that contribute most significantly towards a talent management strategy; (3) to determine whether the citizens of the different African countries differed in their views on compensation; (4) to determine whether the different mine types experienced differences in their views on the importance of compensation; (5) to determine whether the different race groups had different views on the importance of organisational behaviour; (5) to determine whether the different job levels felt differently about career development; and (6) to build a competitive talent management management strategy for Eurasian Natural Resource Company Africa.
Download or read book The Diaspora s Role in Africa written by Stella-Monica N. Mpande and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Africans living in the diaspora have a unique position as potential agents of change in helping to address Africa’s political and socioeconomic challenges. In addition to sending financial remittances, their multiple, hybrid identities in and out of geographical and psychocultural spaces allow them to play a role as cultural and political ambassadors to foster social change and sustainable development back in their African homelands. However, this hybrid position is not without challenges, and this book reflects some of the conundrums faced by members of the diaspora as they negotiate their relationships with their home countries. The author uses her lived experiences and empirical research to ask: are members of the diaspora conduits of Western cultural hegemony at the cost of their traditional preservation and meaningful development in Africa? How does the Western media’s portrayal of Africa as the "Dark Continent" in the 21st century influence their decision-making process to invest back home? How could African nations’ governments manage their relationships with citizens abroad to motivate them to invest in their home countries? How do some citizen-residents in Africa and African Diaspora communities perceive each other in the context of Africa’s development? How could the African Diaspora collaborate with citizen-residents across growth sectors to impact Africa’s development? The book hopes to inspire agents of change within the diaspora and features diverse African entrepreneurs’ success stories and their experiences of tackling these challenges. The book will be of interest to aspiring entrepreneurs, researchers across African studies, and the expanding and vibrant field of diaspora research.

Download or read book Understanding the People and Performance Link written by John Purcell and published by CIPD Publishing. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, the most in-depth of its kind to date, confirms the powerful relationships between HR practices, employee commitment and operating performance. It is based on a three-year investigation which looked at the HR practices, staff views and performance in 11 large organisations including Jaguar Cars, Nationwide Building Society, Selfridges and Tesco. The study provides answers to why and how people management practices influence business performance - to unlock what has been termed the 'black box'. Key conclusions include:- the most carefully thought-through HR strategy is a waste of time unless it is embraced by line managers who have the skills and understanding necessary to engage and motivate employees - where effective HR practices are not in place, levels of employee commitment are up to 90 per cent lower - an organisation needs a clear direction and purpose, beyond the bland mission statement or generic goal of financial returns, which engages, enthuses and unites people. At the Nationwide Building Society this is a commitment to mutuality. At Royal United Hospital Bath it is saving lives. This 'big idea' appears essential in motivating and directing people behind the strategy of the organisation.
