Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ivan Spassov is one of the premiere Bulgarian composers and conductors of the 20th century. He systematically integrates elements of the rich Bulgarian folklore into his music. His style also exhibits influences from the contempora…ry Western European compositional tradition. The mastery of his craft shines in the use of aleatoric technique, cluster harmonies, and polyphonic elements, uniquely combined with the rhythmic, melodic, and modal intricacies of the Bulgarian folklore. This book examines Spassov s songs for women s choir, in the Bucolics From The Pirin Region collection, and how they relate to their original folk versions. Areas of study include a brief examination of Bulgarian musical folklore in relation to the uniqueness and inter-regional influences of the rhythm, meter, mode, melody and text, and an analysis of the musical scores. This analysis should provide evidence that Bucolics From The Pirin Region are examples of late-twentieth-century musical art that remain typically Bulgarian and preserve the individuality of the traditional folklore, and should be particularly useful to conductors, music educators and anyone else interested in multicultural choral music. 120 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between participative leadership and organisational commitment among bank clerks. The data was collected from a sample of 70 bank clerks in Alice and King William s Town…, using a self-designed biographical and occupational data questionnaire; a participative leadership questionnaire adopted from Sagie, Zaidman & Amichai-Humburger (2002); and Mowday, Steers, and Porter s (1979) organisational commitment questionnaire.

For the total sample, participative leadership was found to be significantly positively correlated with total oc, and with effort.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Ethiopian migrant workers, a great majority of whom being women, travel through regular and irregular channels to get to some of their major destination countries in the Middle East and the Gulf. These migrant workers primarily eng…age in low skilled areas of domestic and care services which are often left out of a right based discourse. Domestic and care works, often occupied by migrant domestic workers, are not regarded as work proper and therefore they are not regulated by the domestic labor laws of destination countries. However, the major problems faced by migrant domestic workers are violations of those basic rights, which are suppose to be protected under International Human Rights instruments and the international law on migration. This book analyzes the body of international human rights instruments and international law on migration and their applicability to migrant workers in general and migrant domestic workers in particular including those in irregular situation. Furthermore, it expounds on the history, trajectory, push and pull factors of Ethiopians labor migration as well as the abuses and violations that this group suffers in all stages of the migration process. 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -An examination of the relevant literature demonstrates that work engagement has not received adequate empirical attention in the field of positive psychology including tourism and hospitality literature. Hence, a model which examin…es the impacts of work engagement dimensions (vigor, dedication, and absorption) on service recovery performance, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions was developed and tested. In addition, the relationships among service recovery performance, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions were investigated. With the purpose in mind, frontline employees in the four- and five-star hotels of Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria, were used as the sample. Based on the results, none of the dimensions of work engagement had a significant effect on service recovery performance and turnover intentions. Of the dimensions of work engagement, vigor was found to have a significant and positive impact on job satisfaction. The rest of the dimensions did not significantly affect job satisfaction. Employees with higher job satisfaction had lower turnover intentions. Service recovery performance did not significantly impact job satisfaction and turnover intentions. 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Affiliate marketing is a network-based e-commerce strategy which has attracted extraordinary attention both in theory and practice over the past few years. All web-oriented firms can benefit from this strategy with full understandi…ng of its mechanism and strategic planning. However, in spite of this fact, in developing markets the state of understanding and managerial attention to this context is still at a low level which negatively affects the strategic development of e-commerce in the society as a whole system. For instance in Malaysia, although e-commerce is being applied, but there is no prior work devoted to affiliate marketing of service SMEs in particular ICT sector firms. This lack of knowledge in the literature poses a challenge for decision makers and policy implementers. 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is a data assisted study that explores direct and indirect approaches to advertising persuasion focusing on the language of advertisements. The language of advertisements has been largely defined as persuasive and manipulative…. Some scholars however hold different views. For this reason, I have decided to explore this topic by analysing the creative methods used by the copywriters of certain advertisements and then deciding whether or not these are useful in determining the persuasive value of the language used by advertisers. The decision to study advertising language was also motivated by the fact that this area of study has received little attention in the research literature, and that the use of powerful persuasive messages influence our decision as a consumer society in buying certain products and services. The focus of this study was on the language of selected newspaper, magazine, billboard and television/radio advertisements. To achieve the objectives of the study, a desktop study was carried out. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative boasts of the largest amounts of debt forgiveness in recent history. The program has received as much acclaim as it has criticism. Its efficacy in restoring access to credit mar…kets for poor indebted countries has been doubted. This study examines the impact of debt forgiveness under the HIPC initiative on the sovereign credit ratings of the 32 countries who have received full irrevocable debt forgiveness as agreed under the program. Linking debt forgiveness and macroeconomic performance after mandatory HIPC structural adjustment, I find that debt forgiveness does not significantly impact Euromoney Sovereign Credit ratings possibly due in part to history and the persistent character of Sovereign Credit ratings. 76 pp. Englisch.

This is especially true for politicians, celebrities, educational institutions and governments. Far removed from these spheres of scrutiny and popular attention are the garment factories in less developed c…ountries. This thesis investigates the impact of reputation sensitive buyers and public disclosure on labor law compliance in apparel factories. The Better Factories Cambodia (BFC) program, run by the International Labor Organization (ILO), facilitates a specific case study of the apparel industry in Cambodia. By observing compliance patterns in factories with different characteristics, with labor laws possessing different traits, we seek to understand a firm s decision-making calculus regarding the management of their human resources. 88 pp. Englisch.

Various issues relating to human capital are discussed in detail. This book is very useful for those students and researchers who are involved i…n broader areas of human capital formation. Before the partition 1947, the main objective of education system was to train people for lower level government jobs so that these low level attitudes of local population can better serve the elite class of west. In order to accomplish their objective, they successfully separated local-language-medium schools for the masses and exclusive English-medium schools for the elite class. As we got independence from British rule, now more horizons of employment were open and we were free to build our indigenous system of education as according to modern skill and latest knowledge. The economy s requirements for a large variety of skills and knowledge were continuously rising. Beginning of 1960s, economists began to seriously study labour not as a homogeneous factor of production, but as a differentiated and moldable factor of production, that is, human capital. Human capital is one of the biggest explanatory variables 88 pp. Englisch.

The decentralization and democratization process also contributed for the flourishing of this alternative media to the local communities. Since Public…and commercial broadcasting services may not cover all values of the diverse communities, countries including Ethiopia are turning their faces to this endeavor of expanding community radio to the local communities. Community broadcasting services, in general, have their own distinct characteristics as compared to public and commercial broadcasting services. Hence, various aspects of supports from governments and stakeholders in promoting the service are a must. This book focuses on the legal and practical realities of treating ethno-linguistic diverse groups in community radios in Ethiopia in particular reference to some federal countries.The enhancement of community radio requires continuous research works. Hence this book might inspire further studies on the topic. It can also be reference books for the students of journalism. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Gross human rights violations are of all times and all places. In the last decades, however, we have seen a rise in the accountability for grave human rights violations. The ¿international community¿ expressed its wish firmly to co…mbat impunity and to ensure that certain international crimes are prosecuted. Universal jurisdiction offers States the possibility to prosecute persons suspected of certain serious criminal offences without any direct link to the State. Merely on the gravity of the offence States can bring proceedings against a person outside the traditional forms of jurisdiction. This book focuses on universal jurisdiction over asylum seekers suspected of having committed gross human rights violations. The crimes as genocide, war crimes, torture and crimes against humanity are discussed in depth. The analysis should help shed some light on this difficult issue of International Law. It is useful for students and professionals in the sphere of International Human Rights Law and Refugee and Asylum Law. 116 pp. Englisch.

This paper attempts the first national-scale…empirical test on FDI s effect on small domestic firms in China. Fixed-effects regressions are run on a comprehensive dataset of 214 prefectures in 1999 and 2003. The analysis shows a significant trade-off between FDI and small domestic firms in 1999 that then turns positive in 2003. The remainder of the paper tests three hypotheses to explain this change in FDI s effect over time and find that competitive shock and FDI preferential policies are the main reasons for the trade-off between FDI and entrepreneurship in China. 80 pp. Englisch.

In examining the causes of the financial crisis, this book asserts that there was a deliberate and well orchestrated undermining of International Commercial Law, Banking Law and Financial Services Regulations by Banking establishments, financial institutions and the Financial Regulatory bodies that were meant to police them. The undermining of law however was not limited to the causes of the crisis but also resurfaced in the measures proposed to curb the financial and economic crisis.

Such jurisprudence poses questions which have not been entirely explored, both with regard to the specific individual rights under the ECHR which may be affected by the environmentally hazardous activities and with regard to the duties of the State party to take positive steps to regulate such issues at the national level in a manner that ensures compliance with its obligations under the ECHR. As a case study, the author analyses the Italian legislation governing the installation of base stations to improve the performance of mobile phones on top of residential buildings in densely populated areas and the related jurisprudence. 68 pp. Englisch.

However, there is often an erroneous approach about the existence of the risky sexual behavior in vogue in Africa. Despite the fact that Hiv is usually associated… with poverty, culture plays a prominent role. Here, in our case study, we focus on the country of Senegal located in West Africa.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The aim of this study is to examine the relationship of all corporate governance indicators with firm performance (proxied by price to book value ratio) and tax fees. Using a sample of 133 large U.S firms over the period 2005 to 20…09, we explore the correlation of price to book value with board of director s structure (composition and size). Our results show that smaller and younger boards with less independent directors lead to a higher firm performance. We further find that the presence of women on board is important rather than their number. The outcome of the study shows also that financial expertise of audit committee members has a significant and positive influence on the amount of tax fees. Overall, the results suggest that board characteristics are important and they influence firm performance. 84 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -So far, there has hardly been any study that looked at the link between level of corporate social responsibility and firm performance in the developing nations. However, with the advent of information technology and raising awarene…ss among the stakeholders in these nations, slowly but surely corporate social responsibility is gaining more and more importance. To my knowledge, this was one of the very few studies conducted on the firms of developing nations that looked at the impact of CSR performance on the ultimate financial performance of the firm. The purpose of this study was to create a stepping stone for future researches on this area. It would bring great joy to me if this humble effort makes some useful contribution to the understanding of the subject matter discussed in this book. 56 pp. Englisch.
