Book excerpt: The unifying theme of the twenty papers in this volume is the search for development approaches which produce significant improvement on the livelihood of the majority of the people in Africa. Development is tackled from a wide range of angles and perspectives, but all recognise the importance of taking into account the significance of the human factor in development. Contributors are academics, government representatives, and business people. The first part defines the human factor, and shows how development is bound to fail if it is not taken into account. Papers then are grouped around the Human Factor Development and Culture; Human Factor Development and Business Organisations; The Human Factor and Leadership; and the Human Factor: Media and Politics.
Download or read book The Human Factor in Shaping the Course of History and Development written by Senyo B-S. K. Adjibolosoo and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development problems of many countries continue to escalate despite the huge sums of money that are spent on social, economic, and political programs. In order to determine why particular solutions to these problems often do not work, it is necessary to identify and evaluate the human factor traits that give rise to specific attitudes, behaviors, and actions. Human factor traits include personality characteristics and other dimensions of human performance that enable social, economic, and political institutions to function and remain functional over time. In this fascinating volume, contributors examine the role of human factor traits that may promote or hinder the effectiveness of economic development programs. It brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss the relevance of human factor traits in shaping history and development, with the ultimate goal of providing information that will help create safer and more prosperous societies in the future. Original and thought provoking, this volume will be of value to scholars studying international development and economic planning.

Download or read book Globalization and the Human Factor written by Joseph Mensah and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the world has experienced an unprecedented push towards economic, political, social, cultural, financial and technological integration. This integration is a key element of the process of globalization. Much of this revolves around the tensions and conflicts inherent in globalization with emphasis on political economy but at the expense of the human factor (HF), which places people at the centre of all discussions about globalization. This volume brings the HF into the debate and examines to what extent this hitherto marginalized concept holds the key to providing a holistic understanding and contestation of globalization. The volume develops a distinct concept or framework of the human factor; examines the role and significance in global change from an interdisciplinary perspective; analyzes the extent and significance in contemporary globalization discourse; and provokes further debate about the unresolved disputes surrounding globalization. The account will help readers navigate the 'minefields' of the globalization debate.
Download or read book International Perspectives on the Human Factor in Economic Development written by Senyo B-S. K. Adjibolosoo and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1998-03-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the development agenda of selected developed and developing countries, the contributors in this volume show that the varying degrees of success or failure in the programs of different countries are due to the way they deal with human factor development. Each essay clearly shows that a nation cannot achieve development if it continuously fails to develop its own national human factor. The contributors maintain that what different parts of the world, particularly Southeast Asia, call a development miracle is not a miracle at all. Countries such as Japan and Singapore have experienced significant development in recent decades because their programs have focused intently on building the human factor. Countries such as Mexico, Nigeria, Bolivia, and India, on the other hand, are struggling to develop because their ongoing development programs do not address the human factor. Nations that aspire to achieve sustained human-centered development in the 21st century should focus on human factor development now.
