This book was released on 2006 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette étude est centrée sur la dynamique d’initiatives individuelles et associatives de financement et de construction du développement en territoires de Beni et de Lubero (RDC). à travers une approche par les acteurs et par leurs pratiques, l’étude veut savoir si la dynamique cible doit s’agrandir pour être efficace par rapport au développement durable. Et, au cas où l’efficacité ne viendrait pas de la taille, comment ces organisations peuvent-elles être fortes par rapport au développement sans s’agrandir ? L’étude révèle, selon les acteurs, le contenu du développement durable compris comme le maintien et le renforcement des structures grâce auxquelles ils ont des réponses individuelles et collectives à leur problème. Ce que les gens veulent durables, ce sont leurs initiatives, leurs manières de faire et les réponses aux besoins grâce à ces initiatives. L’analyse des pratiques montre un processus de développement inscrit dans la philosophie de la tontine s’appuyant sur les points forts de l’individualisme et du collectivisme. à travers un rapprochement des ressources, des acteurs et des systèmes de mobilisation, les dynamiques d’initiatives répondent aux besoins individuels et collectifs sans qu’elles s’agrandissent. Ces réponses relativisent l’argument de l’absence ou de l’insuffisance de l’épargne comme obstacle au processus de développement. Une capacité d’organisation, une disponibilité mentale à l’auto-prise en charge soutiennent ce processus de développement donnant place à l’individu et au groupe. L’étude révèle un potentiel énorme de développement à travers le renforcement des capacités d’organisation des gens et la complémentarité entre les acteurs populaires et l’État. Cette articulation des pratiques de l’acteur État et des acteurs populaires est une condition de la durabilité du développement et une possibilité en ce que, tout en donnant des réponses aux besoins, les acteurs populaires ne présentent pas leurs voies de solution comme alternatives, mais comme complémentaires à celles de l’État. Une éducation des acteurs aux manières dont ils ont vécu, ils vivent et ils vivront, d’une part, une orientation des ressources et de la philosophie de la tontine dans des projets intégrateurs, d’autre part, se présentent aussi comme des voies de durabilité sans agrandissement.

This book was released on 2014-02-10 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Handbook of Engineering Education Research is the critical reference source for the growing field of engineering education research, featuring the work of world luminaries writing to define and inform this emerging field. The Handbook draws extensively on contemporary research in the learning sciences, examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and the role of social context in learning. Since a landmark issue of the Journal of Engineering Education (2005), in which senior scholars argued for a stronger theoretical and empirically driven agenda, engineering education has quickly emerged as a research-driven field increasing in both theoretical and empirical work drawing on many social science disciplines, disciplinary engineering knowledge, and computing. The Handbook is based on the research agenda from a series of interdisciplinary colloquia funded by the US National Science Foundation and published in the Journal of Engineering Education in October 2006.

Download or read book Innovation and Small Firms written by Zoltán J. Ács and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utilizing a unique data set, Zoltan Acs and David Audretsch provide a rich empirical analysis of the increased importance of small firms in generating technological innovations and their growing contribution to the U.S. economy. They identify the contributions made by both small and large firms to the innovative process and the manner in which market structure, and the firm-size distribution in particular, responds to technological change. The authors' analysis relies on traditional theories of industrial organization and tests existing hypotheses, many of them previously untested due to data constraints. Innovation and Small Firms brings together two large data bases recently released by the U. S. Small Business Administration - one directly measuring innovative activity for large and small firms, the other providing a detailed census of economic activity for all manufacturing firms and plants across a broad spectrum of industries. Acs and Audretsch describe and evaluate the data bases in the context of the literature on innovation, market structure, and firm size. They present their findings on the presence of small firms, small-firm entry in manufacturing, small-firm growth and flexible technology, and mobility and firm size. They compare static and dynamic measures of small-firm viability and address the relationships between R&D, innovation, and productivity, and analyze the interaction between technological regimes and the role of government in innovation.
Download or read book Research on Agricultural Systems written by Jean Philippe Colin and published by Nova Biomedical Books. This book was released on 2000 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide an overview of research on agricultural systems that is both broad and selective. The focus is broad, by covering approaches used in a number of disciplines, as well as in multidisciplinary studies, and by defining agricultural systems to include cropping systems, fanning systems, agricultural household systems, and agricultural systems at higher levels such as the agrarian system. The focus is selective by emphasizing key methods and ongoing debates, rather than attempting a comprehensive review of literature. Most previous reviews of research on agricultural systems have concentrated on a particular approach, eg farming systems research (FSR), including comparisons of anglophone and francophone variants of FSR, or on research conducted in specific geographical settings.
Download or read book Providing Global Public Goods written by Inge Kaul and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-16 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elaborating on the concepts first introduced in Global Public Goods, this book addresses the long overdue issue of how to adjust the concept of public goods to today's economic and political realities. The production of global public goods requires the orchestration of initiatives by a large number of diverse actors across different levels and sectors. It may require the collaboration of governments, business and civil society, and in most cases it almost certainly calls for an effective linkage of the local, national, regional, and global levels. In light of today's new realities, this book examines a series of managerial and political challenges that pertain to the design and implementation of production strategies and the monitoring and evaluation of global public goods provision.As participatory decision-making enhances the political support for - and thus the effectiveness of - certain policy decisions, this volume offers suggestions on a number of pragmatic policy reforms for bringing the global public more into public policy making on global issues. Nine case studies examine the importance of the global public good concept from the viewpoint of developing countries, exploring how and where the concerns of the poor and the rich overlap.Providing Global Public Goods offers important and timely suggestions on how to move in a more feasible and systematic way towards a fairer process of globalization that works in the interests of all.
