Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This study investigated interview structure as a moderator of the relationship between the physical attractiveness of job applicants and two interview outcomes (suitability ratings and hiring recommendations). Each participant interviewed the same two job applicants. Half of the interviewers performed face-to-face structured interviews and the other half performed face-to-face unstructured interviews. Interview structure was manipulated by randomly providing interviewers with either the Structured Interview Handout (Eight precise questions, job description, scoring criteria with possible answers, benchmark responses and candidate rating scale) or the Unstructured Interview Handout (Six topics to be covered, job description and candidate rating scale). The physical attractiveness of both job applicants was based on perceptions of the interviewers (facial features, body proportions and weight, posture and general appearance). The findings did show an interaction between physical attractiveness and interview structure. The study's contributions and limitations, along with directions for future research, are discussed. 112 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book is the outcome of a research study aimed at assessing the path of rural development undertaken by some developing countries. It is an attempt to compare government-initiated Community development projects with those initiated by local people themselves with a view to finding out factors responsible for the difference in their level of success at planning, implementation, utilization and maintenance stages agencies. The study validated some hypotheses revealing that the development of the community was more a function of the self-help efforts of the people than Government. Government's extractive, regulative, distributive, symbolic and responsive capabilities were grossly inadequate to initiate and sustain rural development in the area. The study recommends the bottom-up approach to rural development and calls on government to re-orient its rural development policy especially in the North-West region of Cameroon. It also recommends decentralization and the granting of more autonomy to local communities especially in matters of determining their own priorities, project planning financing, and management of other local resources.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Education is a fundamental human right. Attaining the right to equality of education is not only having equal opportunity to access and complete education, but also having equal opportunities to receive equal quality of education, which ensures opportunities for every pupil to maximize their educational potential. The current education system in Croatia produces barriers in achieving the right to equality education for the Roma children. It is failing to incorporate learning programs on diversity, intercultural values and respect for human rights for all pupils. This system acts to institutionalize widely established discrimination and social exclusion against the Roma in Croatia. In order to combat social exclusion inside and outside the education system, the book advocates for the implementation of equality and inclusive education. This alternate system of education aims to promote programs that encourage intercultural values and incorporate diversity of children's backgrounds in such way that responds to the needs of each child to attain equality of education, including the Roma children. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work aims to analyze the impact of final expenditure components on import demand in Pakistan. Studying Import demand behaviour is important in economic literature because it has vast implications in tackling the problem of trade deficit faced by most of the developing and less developed countries of the world.

This work is also helpful in providing directions for industrial policy. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Starting with evidence that United Kingdom Continental Shelf oil and gas companies have benefitted very disproportionately from the recent period of very high oil prices, this research traces the history of this weakness in the UK's petroleum fiscal regime. Evidence is provided that the progressive relaxations in the UK's petroleum fiscal regime in 1983, 1987-88 and 1993 were: largely unnecessary to stimulate the development of new, smaller, 'marginal' fields; misguided in their assumption that such fields were more costly to develop than earlier counterparts or larger contemporary fields; and impotent compared with the effects of oil price movements. The paper concludes with a conceptualisation which illuminates why these failures of policy were not just random: they emerged from the UK's 'non-proprietorial' stance with respect to the country's oil and gas resources, a stance which assumes responsibility for oil company profitability and vainly tries to counter market forces at the expense of government revenues. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of the present paper is to identify the problems that Japanese interpreting students may encounter and to establish causes for them in the expectation that they may help devise a method that should ideally be incorporated in a training program. For this purpose, nine participants who were interpreting students were asked to consecutively interpret four different English texts. It was discovered that the participants had a tendency for omissions of interpreting, and omissions occurred when the participants encountered an unknown word, an unfamiliar word, and a problem in speech perception. Also omissions were observed in the parts where the participants interpreted texts at a 'word-for-word' level or literal interpretations were not suitable. These parts required the participants to take longer time to interpret. Therefore, the participants failed to listen to the following word or sentence, causing further omissions of interpreting and distorting the meaning of original texts. In order to reduce such omissions, it is necessary for students to acquire 'top-down' processing of comprehension. 108 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study explores, describes and analyzes the various characteristics of interproject learning mechanisms and project competencies found in a sample of consulting firms in Sweden. The study focuses on the perceived importance of different interproject learning mechanisms and their perceived impact in developing project competencies in consulting firms. The study interrogates the perceptions' of key' informed project management practitioners, who have experience of managing projects. Their perceptions about project activities in their respective firms helped capture a managerial' and provide an expert' view. The study find that the most highly ranked and valued interproject learning mechanisms involved some degree of face-to-face interactions. Learning mechanisms that enable the capture, storage and transfer of explicit knowledge, though important, were not ranked highly in importance as person-to- person communication. The difference might be due to the efficient way the latter mechanisms have in transferring socially embedded and context-dependant tacit knowledge, which comprise a large part of knowledge applied in projects. 104 pp. Englisch.…

It is however important to determine management effectivenessof PAs to ascertain whether they are managed according to the objectives for which they were created. The Namibia Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (NAMETT) which is the Namibian version of the World Bank PA assessment tool METT has been implemented in Namibia. The assessment carried out through NAMETT suggests that there is a lack of a robust management system for PAs in Namibia which will consolidate management effectiveness at planning, implementation and reporting level. NAMETT would be an ideal system however a number of strategies needs to be put in place before implementation adoption of NAMETT 112 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Can auction- and multiple bid targets be identified in the field of M&A This empirical study employs a binary logit model to identify the characteristics of companies that have been acquired facing a single bid or facing multiple bids from different bidders in the US during the period 2004-2009. The research extends the present research by looking at the differences in characteristics between acquired companies instead of investigating if the company will be acquired or not. The results reveal that companies that experience multiple bids have significantly different values regarding the EBIT margin, sales turnover and market to book ratio. Besides the characteristics of the companies, the premium paid and several control variables have been addressed. The findings suggest that companies that face multiple bids tend to have different characteristics however these results have to be placed in perspective in order to make correct judgments. Finally the findings have been related to the existing takeover prediction literature. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Informal transport modes such as Kampala's boda-boda motorcycle axis have become a common fixture in much of the developing world. With them has arisen a whole new set of challenges. Their role in aggravating traffic congestion, pollution, traffic accidents, conflicts and urban crime is well- documented. Readily available and accessible especially for the city's increasingly transit-dependent population, they have become an indispensable asset. The boda- boda taxis have helped to provide jobs for the unemployed, in addition to improving access and mobility in areas devoid of service coverage by other public transport modes. Little or almost no attention is given to the fact that the number of livelihoods at stake is immense. This study was carried out in an attempt to bring to the fore this neglected aspect, in a bid to engender alternative interventions and strategies to safeguard the vulnerable livelihoods of all those entirely dependant on this mode of transport for survival. The study should provide a useful platform for various development practioners on how to approach some of the most complex issues currently facing the global-south. 92 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -On 1 December 1963 the partnership between the European Economic Community and Turkey came into being: Association, Customs Union, membership application: Turkey has begun its journey to join the European Union. Over the years one of the EU''s most important players, Germany, has taken various stands on a possible membership. The evolution of the German-Turkish relationship was primarily based on a mutual economic bond until the 1990s. Upon his election in 1998 former Social Democrat Chancellor Gerhard Schröder intended to make it one of his political legacies to bring Turkey as close to membership as possible. Nevertheless the vast majority of Germany''s citizens use the ¿cultural argument¿ to express their opposition. Chancellor Angela Merkel and the majority of the CDU oppose full membership and advocate a ¿privileged partnership¿. Regardless of the positions taken, Turkey''s chances to join will only come into perspective after the 2013 financial plan. The outcome of the next federal elections in Germany, in particular the future party in government, will therefore be decisive on Germany''s position. Most of all, it will have a crucial influence on the EU''s overall vote. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The relation between trust and innovation has been the object of numerous researches in the permanent organization literature. Several authors, such as Ellonen (2008), Das & Tang (2001), Mayer et al (1995), recognized that trust positively affects innovation. However, other researchers (e.g. Nooteboom, 2006; Herting, 2002) argued about the existence of a curvilinear relation, meaning that trust enhances innovation only up to a certain level. The aim of this study is to analyze if the relation between trust and innovation is the same in a temporary setting as in permanent setting. Considering the differences of characteristics between permanent and temporary organizations, the relationship between trust and innovation could be different in the two forms of organization. In this research, the researcher looked at the relationship between the level of trust between individuals in a dyad and the level of innovative outcome of these individuals, resulting in the research question: To what extent does the level of interpersonal lateral trust between partners in a temporary organization affect the innovative outcome of the partners 72 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The main conclusions of the research: 1) If the mathematical expectation of return on speculation in financial markets is less than the current rate of return in the interbank credit market, a professional participant will close up his financial activities in financial markets and transfer his assets to the interbank market. 2) Financial markets provide the conditions for manipulative transactions when the mathematical expectation of return on speculative transactions goes below the current value of the interbank market return, with no funds flowing from the stock market to the interbank market. 3) The higher the dealer-estimated probability of success of his speculative strategy, the higher the risk he would be willing to assume (the higher quotation he would be willing to offer). 4) Information is not a mandatory component for the speculative dealer to carry out speculative trading. Certainly he may use it but he is basically indifferent to the information flow. 5) The modern exchange trading system accepted globally, including Islamic countries, violates a few fundamental principles of Sharia and cannot be used in Islamic countries. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This work presents a case study of two drastically different personas of female murderers, Aileen Wuornos and Andrea Yates. It explores the striking ideas presented in Berrington and Honkatukia's (2002) comparison of the trials of notorious female murderers. Using their distinction of the mad or bad media portrayal of the female offender, the current manuscript examines this unique dichotomy as it exists in America. By focusing on Labeling, Anomie, and Chivalry theories, this work offers social critiques as to why the media chose to depict Wuornos and Yates in markedly different lights. America's seemingly blind criminal justice system is challenged by the noticeably disparate sentences received for equally heinous crimes. 64 pp. Englisch.…
