Book excerpt: This book, originally published in 1983, demonstrates the importance of seaports in the growth of less-developed countries. The author focuses on the character of port activity within the context of transport systems and regional economic planning. General principles of port development are illustrated by detailed reference to one Third World port group, that of the Indian Ocean coasts of Kenya and Tanzania. The objective is not merely to illustrate the character of one specific group of ports, but to demonstrate methods of analysis and to underline the crucial role of ports in the development process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This best selling textbook focuses on the changes in geographical patterns that have taken place in recent years i.e. on the geographical pattern of recent and current economic change. The area covered includes the countries lying between the limits of the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. In this second edition substantial changes have been made in every chapter in order to keep up to date in respect of both the geographical pattern of development and prevailing attitudes towards it. The discussion is still largely confined to the twenty year period between 1956 and 1976, and to the economic component of development

Download or read book African Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective written by Ayodeji Olukoju and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates African maritime economic history to analyse the influence of seaports and seaborne trade, processes of urbanization and development, and the impact of globalization on port evolution within the different regions of Africa. It succeeds the seminal collection edited by Hoyle & Hilling which was conceived during a phase of sustained economic growth on the African continent, and builds on a similar trend where African economies have experienced processes of economic growth and the relative improvement of welfare conditions. It provides valuable insights on port evolution and the way the maritime sector has impacted the hinterland and the regional economic structures of the affected countries, including the several and varied agents involved in these activities. African Seaports and Maritime Economics in Historical Perspective will be useful for economists, historians, and geographers interested in African and maritime issues, as well as policy makers interested in path-dependence and long-term analysis

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are at a turning point. Technological breakthroughs and crumbling national barriers are pressuring firms to become more efficient and entrepreneurial in order to compete in globalized markets. At the same time, regulators and activist stakeholders are insisting that firms act more fairly and ethically in their dealings with consumers, with employees, and towards the environment. To meet these contradictory pressures is no simple task. Far-sighted executives are responding by initiating wrenching revisions of their firms' competitive postures, internal controls, and corporate cultures. Turning Points describes in detail how visionary leaders can plan for strategic change and guide their firms through the radical restructurings that such changes entail. As author Charles J. Fombrun puts it:. "Although much has been written about the act of leadership, our firms continue to be managed more like autocracies and fiefdoms than like inspired hotbeds of innovation...Today, the strategic challenge lies in returning to the operating roots from which firms once derived their competitiveness. Achieving vigor will require aggressive redeployments of capital and people to improve timing and differentiation, to exploit synergies, and to mobilize shared interests, both internally with employees, and externally with rivals..." Turning Points shows managers how to become the kinds of transforming leaders the times demand. Dr. Fombrun discusses ongoing changes at prominent companies like AT&T, IBM, General Motors, General Electric, Hewlett-Packard, Chase Manhattan, Bank America, and many more, to explain how cutting-edge managers identify their firms' true competitors; convert threats into opportunities; break out of obsolete strategic trajectories; cultivate competitive distinctiveness; exploit latent synergies in corporate portfolios; court strategic allies; reshape control structures and work environments; and mobilize the support of all stakeholders. Managers will come away from this book not only with a strong appreciation for how changing environments are likely to affect their firms, but also with fresh insights for how to engineer their firms' passage through such critical turning points.

Book excerpt: First published in 1988, Africa examines the varied pattern of development in the continent, the progress and the disappointments experienced, and the prospects. This picture is set firmly within the frame of the continent’s geography. From a general synthesis, the books moves to a country by country analysis of the interdependence of geography and economic development. The authors’ analysis of the effects of varied development strategies in Africa leads them, in the final section, to discuss what lessons maybe learned from these earlier initiatives and to assess the changes in development policies that were later implemented. This book will be of interest to students of geography, economics and development studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates and discusses the main characteristics of port-city development dynamics with a focus on the fast-growing city-states of the Middle East, which are emerging as key players in logistics and the global supply chain. Maritime ports and the cities hosting them have long fascinated scholars – geographers, economists, architects, urban planners, sociologists etc. – as they become centres of exchange where different social and urban environments meet, at the intersection between land and sea. Given that the current body of literature on the topic is biased – mainly concerning the Western world and East Asian region – with mono-disciplinary tendencies, this book outlines a theoretical basis from a wide range of literature, linking port-city studies, globalization theories and logistics, and adopts a multidisciplinary perspective. The main target audience of the book includes scholars and graduate students in urban studies, spatial planning, urban and regional economics, logistics, geography and transport geography with an interest in studying port geography and the port-city interface, port infrastructure development and port hinterland dynamics; it will also benefit policymakers and urban planners whose work involves these topics.
