für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In Sub Saharan Africa, generally and in particular Kenya, poor health status has persisted in the last two decades despite a number of measures put in place. Vision 2030 advocates for entrepreneurial development as a tool for socio economic development and yet there is lack of empirical evidence on the linkage between health and entrepreneurship in the improvement of health indicators among Community Health Workers (CHWs) and their communities. This study therefore aimed at filling this knowledge gap. The study adopted a retrospective observational and comparative cross-sectional design. The study s setting was in Kisumu East district in Kisumu County, Kenya. The population sample of this study was 205 Community Health Workers (CHW) and 205 matched clients.

Internal Internationalization

····· lezzter Preis 49.00€ ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
In the ongoing struggle to maintain and leverage competitive advantage, SMEs are in a constant state of change. A highly visible and researched change is concerning the process by which firms shift business activities across national borders. While the process theory of internationalization helps carve the path of a firm`s international expansion, the point of departure of the theory is the boundary of the firm. Thus it fails to capture the depth of the internal turmoil SMEs experience. This boundary creates a virtual black box that encapsulates the entities and activities, the very essence of the firm. To date, the black box of the firm is an enigma that research finds difficult to penetrate. The concept of dynamic capability provides a framework for capturing what happens internally when firms experience change. Through use of this perspective, the purpose of this theoretical thesis is to elucidate the internal transitions SMEs endure as they go through the process of internationalization. In order to describe this process conceptual models have been constructed which can be applied throughout the value chain of any SME during any stage of international expansion. ····· 1036119948

Impact of Recession on Indian Economy: Sectorial Analysis

für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
There is no official definition of recession, but there is general recognition that the term refers to a period of decline in economic activity. Very short periods of decline are not considered recessions. Most commentators and analysts use, as a practical definition of recession, two consecutive quarters of decline in a country s real (inflation adjusted) gross domestic product (GDP) the value of all goods and services a country produces. Although this definition is a useful rule of thumb, it has drawbacks. A focus on GDP alone is narrow, and it is often better to consider a wider set of measures of economic activity to determine whether a country is indeed suffering a recession. Using other indicators can also provide a timelier gauge of the state of the economy. ····· 1036119881

The country brand is the image and perception of the brand associations of a nation as seen by foreigners. This book was developed in order to analyse the Brazil Brand Identity based on the convergence of communication strategies for the tourism sector with those effectively used by travel agencies and/or tour operators in the United States of America. This study was qualitative and exploratory, based on the literature review and in-depth interviews with three sample groups: Embratur (the Brazilian Federal Institute of Tourism), twenty travel agencies in the United States of America and a group of experts. The conclusion is that Brazil has incomplete brand associations and conceptual differences with the theory, whose concepts state that brand identity should be settled on the strategic vision of the brand. Embratur understands a theoretically-distorted version, which was not reflected in the respondents` answers. Therefore, the central identity of the Brazil Brand, which should be the personality of the brand, corresponds only partially to the image desired by Embratur, featuring only the diversity attribute. ····· 1036119458
