The case of the media industry is not any different with the latest fashion being social media. Despite the short life cycle of social media, the cadence in which it has attained high esteem is no short of a continuous and worthy tribute. Having amassed an abundant base of faithful and loyal followers or consumers, as regarded by media companies, it has broadened possibilities for media companies within the realms of marketing, branding or building customer relationships. Nevertheless, companies face challenges within the areas of consumer engagement and providing a strong value proposition to consumers. This script analyzes this dilemma and illustrates how it is advantageous to incorporate consumers in the production of content so as to understand and satisfy their needs better. It is also found that the incorporation of consumers in the offer development process can lead to innovation and possibly, exercise blue ocean strategies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 136 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Over the past few years, a drastic change has occurred in the nature of financial services for the rural poor in India. Andhra Pradesh is one of the leading Indian state in terms of SHG and MFI growth, with the largest number MFIs based in the state. This rapid growth has caused intense competition amongst MFIs competing for both clients and staffs. Clients with multiple-borrowings from various sources are in some cases over-indebted. Many microfinance commercial organisations have entered the Rural Credit Market in search of profit and are competing to lend to the poor. In the process of giving loan to the poor the MFIs started chasing targets and numbers. This book tries to identify the gaps, issues and challenges faced by the rural households to manage their indebtedness situation. Further this book aims at understanding the critical issues of multiple borrowing and the collection practices followed by the MFIs in the state of Andhra Pradesh. With growing global interests from the scholars of Microfinance, Development Studies, Policy Planners and Civil Society Organisation, this book would be an important and timely reading for all of them.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The condition of slums is the worst in Bangladesh. According to the survey of the Center for Urban Studies in 2005, there are 3007 slums in Dhaka city with very high population. Their standard of living is the lowest with minimum access to the fundamental rights of the state. Crimes and violence are common phenomena more or less in all slums. Crime and violence are no longer considered just a ¿social¿ or ¿law and order¿ problem, but also as an obstacle to development which erodes the poor's human, physical, and social capital (UN-Habitat Safer Cities, 2002). My study reveals that various types of crimes such as internal violence, theft, robbery, mugging, trafficking, drug addicting, drug dwelling, sexual harassment etc. are committed both by insiders and outsiders at Mohammadpur Geneva Camp. There appears to be a deep lack of trust among the Camp dwellers to the justice system and the police. So sometimes they take law in their hand. Thus, some become top criminals. These crimes identify the slum dwellers as the worst people. These also create a 'climate of fear' both in the slum and neighboring society that is an obstacle to people's social and psychological development.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The aim of this book is twofold:on the one hand it seeks to examine the relation between different policies of backward-looking truth and justice and the quality of democracy established in the aftermath of violence through the analysis of the Moroccan transitional experience. On the other hand, while much of transitional justice literature tends to be state-centric often focusing on intra-state issues of truth-seeking, retribution and reconciliation after mass atrocity, this book tries to explore the role of civil society in the reconciliation processes.In doing so, it aims to push the discussion beyond a normative perspective and to examine the full spectrum of roles played by civil society actors including supporting dialogue and reconciliation as well as breeding discord and intolerance. Based on a comparison between Morocco, Spain and Cyprus, the book tries to address questions such as: To what extent can the mode of accountability for past human rights violations determine the outcome of the transition from authoritarianism to democracy What is the relationship between state and civil society actors engaged in the transitional process Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The bureaucracy of Bangladesh follows the Weberian model of bureaucracy which is characterized by strict rules and regulation in carrying out the task and involving impersonal decisions in the affairs of the Republic, however, by going through the newspapers highlighted in the newspaper it is seen that the government has been very much reluctant in conforming with rules and regulations especially in issues involving recruitment, promotion & transfer. In the last three years the government has influenced the administrative issues such as promotions and transfers to put the ¿like-minded¿ personnel of the government in favorable positions, so that the interest of the government can be met. By going through the newspapers over the last three years, it can be deducted that the government has failed to meet the expectation of the people and have not been able to manage the civil service in a well-coordinated way, which have resulted in slow economic growth.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In this study, the integration policy of Enschede is investigated. More specifically, the work-oriented integration program. Herman van Gunsteren (1992) has developed five concepts of citizenship. These are the republican citizenship, citizenship for all, citizenship as a bearer of rights and preferences, citizenship as a member of a community and the neo-republican citizenship. A definition of citizenship: 'Active citizenship refers to the social behavior and independence of citizens, and how service providers and public policy invite citizens to social behavior and self-reliance, and support them in it' (Steyaert, Bodd & Lindens, 2005, p. 23). Citizens are expected to solve the problems as responsible, decent, caring and deliberative citizens. Citizens are considered to build bridges between citizens and between citizens and government. Self-reliance and economic independence are key elements of active citizenship. The idea is that the welfare state made people passive and lazy. This was the reason that people were first called to account for their independency and then also their responsibility.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The limitations of conventional wastewater treatment technologies demand advanced research methods to tackle complex wastewater treatment. Chemical treatment of wastewaters containing biocidal or nonbiodegradable components is part of a long-term strategy to improve the quality of drinking water resources by eliminating toxic materials of anthropogenic origin before releasing the used water into natural cycles. An improvement in oxidative degradation procedures for organic compounds in aquatic media has been achieved recently in applying catalytic and photochemical methods. Such methods include processes which generated the hydroxyl radical in this category, namely ozone at high pH values, hydrogen peroxide with UV radiation and ozone or hydrogen peroxide with other hydroxyl radical initiators such as metals and metal oxides. Use of UV radiation for wastewater treatment was the initial and remains the most promising large long term market for the technology.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Despite the recent increase in research by academic, practitioners and the focus from the policy makers, the topics of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Stakeholder Management still remain relatively misunderstood. This book tackles the concepts of CSR and Stakeholder Management from a more encompassing perspective, looking at their effects in both the for-profit and the non-profit sector. From a for-profit perspective, the book begins by examining and empirically testing the insurance properties of CSR in the context of an economy-wide crisis (the 2008 Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy). In the second half of the book, a non-profit perspective is utilized in investigating the effects of Stakeholder Management and its relationship with organizational effectiveness in the case of art museums, which represents a cleaner environment with which to test Stakeholder Theory. Overall, the book provides readers with an indepth review of the current state of the literature as well as discusses new empricial evidence from a two perspective approach that informs companies, investors, as well as policy makers in terms of better understanding CSR and Stakeholder Management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Discrimination against women in healthcare is a serious blot on our civil society as it violates the principle of equal rights. Women often have to live in ¿triple jeopardy¿ ¿ three-dimensional discrimination based on gender, caste-status and disability in accessing healthcare needs. Women face maximum vulnerability to their reproductive health. They have either no access to healthcare or their human rights are violated in the context of healthcare. In both cases women are the losers. Part of this research paper was presented in the IFHHRO Annual Conference 2005, Mumbai, India under the theme ¿Engendering Health and Human Rights.¿ Its relevance lies in the fact that it highlights some pertinent issues that violate gender equity in accessing healthcare needs and suggests the way forward. It identifies the factors that prevent women from accessing healthcare, raises the need of creating awareness about consequences of poor health of women, and appeals for a more accessible healthcare environment to women. The book should be helpful to development professionals, healthcare practitioners and anyone interested in gender studies.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -As international information and communication technology increasingly redefines global issues, the traditional understanding of international political theory is also questioned. In addition,the concept of global citizenship is now a reality with increased participation of citizens across the world through social media outlets and other forms of communication.The Arab Spring was instigated through social media sites. The 99% movement and Occupy Wall Streets protests in the Summer / Autumn of 2011 all provide examples of the increased power civil society now has to challenge the traditional concept of nation-states and 'national citizenship'. In the light of this, the very notion of global governance needs to be interrogated. It is my hope this research project is a start to reconceptualise the issues around global governance, civil society action and the role of governments in the post 9/11 world.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Today, nonprofit organizations are of major importance for the society. Their missions contribute to fulfilling societal needs that otherwise would not get enough resources. Marketing for these organizations becomes more important and most nonprofit marketing research has had a theoretical approach. This work therefore investigates market practice, which covers all concrete actions that form a market. Market practice has been studied through a case study of the nonprofit fundraising organization the Swedish Cancer Society (SCS; Swe: Cancerfonden) and findings are analyzed with a theoretical framework developed by Helgesson, Kjellberg and Liljenberg (2004). Results show that the market for SCS is formed by market practices seen at different levels and departments within the organization. In its daily work, SCS enhances economic transactions through developing relations and new channels. It emphasizes its specific features within the nonprofit sector and actively tries to change perception of the industry.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The world as is said has soon become a global village due to the implications of the globalization phenomenon.As individual states are positioned to actualize their national interest in the international arena, other actors are not at all left out in this power tussle. These interests, often selfish, are engendered through the activities of the state actors and their agencies; especially, the Multinational Corporations (MNCs). Globalization in reality is the outcome of these interactions between the states and the other actors (MNCs inclusive) in their quest to strike a balance in their individual, personal and selfish pursuits. This book is an in-depth and empirical study on the reason the Nigerian state is alleged weak and their plight in this globalization plethora. The book went further to avert the long held assumption that colonialism climaxed in imperialism is the reason the Nigerian state has remained weak. Suggestions were made on the way forward to diversify the Nigerian economy from its monolithic nature of total dependence on the proceeds of crude oil production. This book would be beneficial to both the academics and the freelance public.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 116 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The Kiowa people are frustrated with their tribal government. Much of that frustration derives from a Kiowa Constitution formulated from western ideals and practices which never experienced a revision since the 1930s. The structure was presented to the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache (KCA) designated leaders, as a corporate format to conduct business meetings. During this time, all proposed constitutions were rejected by the Kiowa leaders because of the corporate organization and the concerns of their reservation leases and permits. The Superintendent of Indian Affairs did not recognize the Kiowa Business Committee members who were only functioning as an advisory council. Instead, control of tribal affairs was given to the Superintendent or the Commissioner. The Wheeler-Howard Act (Indian Reorganization Act) policy presented a basic model of a corporate charter structure to the Kiowa leaders to operate as a local tribal business in land issues and adoption concerns. In 1970, the Kiowa government adopted this familiar structure to continue as a corporate organization instead of a tribal government. Several attempts to revise the current constitution have failed.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 112 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This is a contribution to both practitioners and scholars interested in the human resources management and industrial psychology discipline. It presents a new dimension on commitment the employees have to their organizations, particularly, the public sector organization employees in Africa. Undertaking organizational commitment study, researchers often find themselves confronted with diverse questions which have to be blended together in order to understand and disentangle perceptions on why staff morale decline in many organizations. Initial studies have pointed out to a large role played by extrinsic rewards to the decline in staff morale. The current research stretches the scope of study to find the impact of both the extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards as well as the social rewards on enhancing organizational commitment of employees in the public sector organizations, reference herein being made to the government ministries.
