A Model of Compliance for the Self-Regulation of an Industry
Author: Dr. Liz Wilks
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665596198
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
Ensuring proper hygiene has always been at the forefront of the food-packaging industry that includes manufacturers and retailers. In a comprehensive abstract, Dr. Liz Wilks shares timeless insights from the results of revolutionary research that not only reviews how the UK food-packaging industry introduced a voluntary code of practice for packaging hygiene, but also developed guiding principles for companies to adopt. Dr. Wilks examines a multitude of topics that include a literature review of the food and packaging industry and practitioner insights that include survey data findings, the perceived benefit of implementing a global packaging standard, and the potential drivers and/or barriers to adoption. While providing a glimpse into how a group of key stakeholders came together in order to develop and implement a common UK food hygiene standard, she tracks one hundred companies over a five-year period to help guide other industries or companies to create their own guidelines and establish key principles for models of compliance. A Model of Compliance for the Self-Regulation of an Industry combines careful research with case studies and other valuable information to assist sectors or companies in the development and implementation of a new industry standard.

Innovation and Economic Development
Author: Mario Cimoli
Publisher: Edward Elgar Publishing
ISBN: 1849806551
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This book is the fruit of the research ECLAC has amassed, with ten chapters detailing the great strides that have been made of late in ICT. A distinguishing feature of this book is its multi-disciplinary approach to measuring the economic effects of these technologies, which incorporates the neo-classical growth accounting approach and the evolutionarystructuralistapproach. These approaches are noteworthy because, much like the primary message of ECLAC, they exemplify the pivotal importance of technical progress, productivity and structural transformation in economic growth. Innovation and Economic Development identifies several opportunities and challenges for bringing about a more dynamic role of ICT in the process of structural change and productivity growth and contends that accelerating the adoption and efficient use of ICT is essential to any strategy for further success.

Unveiling Inequality
Author: Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz
Publisher: Russell Sage Foundation
ISBN: 1610446585
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Despite the vast expansion of global markets during the last half of the twentieth century, social science still most often examines and measures inequality and social mobility within individual nations rather than across national boundaries. Every country has both rich and poor populations making demands—via institutions, political processes, or even conflict—on how their resources will be distributed. But shifts in inequality in one country can precipitate accompanying shifts in another. Unveiling Inequality authors Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz and Timothy Patrick Moran make the case that within-country analyses alone have not adequately illuminated our understanding of global stratification. The authors present a comprehensive new framework that moves beyond national boundaries to analyze economic inequality and social mobility on a global scale and from a historical perspective. Assembling data on patterns of inequality in more than ninety-six countries, Unveiling Inequality reframes the relationship between globalization and inequality within and between nations. Korzeniewicz and Moran first examine two different historical patterns—"High Inequality Equilibrium" and "Low Inequality Equilibrium"—and question whether increasing equality, democracy, and economic growth are inextricably linked as nations modernize. Inequality is best understood as a complex set of relational interactions that unfold globally over time. So the same institutional mechanisms that have historically reduced inequality within some nations have also often accentuated the selective exclusion of populations from poorer countries and enhanced high inequality equilibrium between nations. National identity and citizenship are the fundamental contemporary bases of stratification and inequality in the world, the authors conclude. Drawing on these insights, the book recasts patterns of mobility within global stratification. The authors detail the three principal paths available for social mobility from a global perspective: within-country mobility, mobility through national economic growth, and mobility through migration. Korzeniewicz and Moran provide strong evidence that the nation where we are born is the single greatest deter-mining factor of how we will live. Too much sociological literature on inequality focuses on the plight of "have-nots" in wealthy nations who have more opportunity for social mobility than even the average individual in nations perennially at the bottom of the wealth distribution scale. Unveiling Inequality represents a major paradigm shift in thinking about social inequality and a clarion call to reorient discussions of economic justice in world-historical global terms.

Labour, Human Capital and Economic Development in Sabah
Author: Kasim Bin Mansor @ Md. Mansur
Publisher: Universiti Malaysia Sabah Press
ISBN: 9672166893
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
This book highlights some contemporary issues related to Sabah’s economic growth, including socio-economic, labour and human capital. These issues are linked to relevant economic and growth theory approaches. Critical issues on the challenges in the development and the way forward to realise government policies such as the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) and the implementation of zakat to eradicate poverty will also be discussed. Economic development for Sabah is essential and is an ongoing effort to ensure that Sabah can compete in a gradually competitive economy. Implementing sound economic policies is vital in improving the social well-being and standard of living in the state. This book also explores socio- economic issues involving various ethnic groups in Sabah, especially improving human capital and infrastructure investment. The author identified that these elements are the key contributors and enablers to Sabah’s economic growth. Thus, economic growth and development are consistent agendas to ensure future generations can live comfortably in a conducive economic environment. Hence, this book re-emphasises the importance of knowledge workers in preparing the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The author also recommends that Sabah’s further economic development be attained through rigorous efforts from strong cooperation of state and federal government and firms, private sectors, industries, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the people. The development can be realised through investment and innovation. This book is significant to academics, students, policymakers, and community in increasing awareness of the importance of labour, human capital and economic development in Sabah. While adding to existing literature, this book can also be an additional reference about Sabah’s key economic characteristics and labour market.
