THE EFFECT OF CULTURE ON ALLOCATION OF MANPOWER AND EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFRICAN NATIONS (UGANDA) (IMPROVEMENT, CYCLE, THEORY).KIWUWA, ABRAHAM EDWARD. January 1984 (has links)
Every era confronts its distinctive social and political dramas. In the mid-twentieth century, center stage has frequently been dominated by the struggle of the so-called "Third World," first, for liberation from the colonial powers and then for development and entry into the modern world. The sixties were to be the "decade of development." Yet many of the emerging nations developed very little, if at all, and some slid backward. To this outcome, general political instability and specific tribal, religious, and ethnic conflicts made their contribution. The study analyzes the problem of whether traditional cultural values in African nations have hindered the needed steady progress which has occurred in the western counterpart in regards to political, social, and economic development. The methodological approach was done through a series of tests. The study was devised to demonstrate how a segment of a society can accelerate a need for a change to the advantage of the rest of the population. Questionnaires and interviews were developed and administered to 400 traditional Africans, predominantly Ugandans and 250 of a cross section of the American population. These were tested on members of the both societies with a career aspiration in leadership and administration. The study also looked at how people transmit their culture by reviewing and testing the written material about books on African and American culture. The study revealed that the traditional African people tested were in a transition from their historical static condition to the western culture of progress and that resistance to change was gradually on the verge of disappearing. The study also pointed out that there is a certain element in which the African nations aspiring to the goal of western development have tended to change within the context of African way of life development. The author reminds his readers that development is not abrupt process but demands careful attention to protect the future and that of the past and that the developing countries should not assimilate all the Western World offers them as an example.

China’s Outward Foreign Direct Investment : A Country-level Empirical Analysis of OECD Country Determinants between 2003 and 2010Hu, Hai January 2013 (has links)
This thesis combines the gravity model with Dunning’s four motivations and three control variables for Chinese outward Foreign Direct Investment (OFDI), and provides an empirical country level analysis on the determinants of Chinese OFDI in 34 OECD countries from 2003 to 2010. I find that resource-seeking motivation is a determinant of Chinese OFDI; the market-seeking motive is shown insignificant influence on Chinese OFDI; the strategic asset-seeking motivation of Chinese OFDI is not supported due to its unexpected negative sign. Moreover, the efficiency seeking motivation was not considered in previous studies due to low labor cost in China. In this thesis, by using real labor cost as a proxy, I prove that Chinese OFDI is not driven by efficiency seeking motive.

A critical legal and economic analysis of the potential threats and opportunities associated with the outsourcing of e-commerce services in developing countries with specific emphasis on India and selective SADC countries.Van Wyk, J. W January 2005 (has links)
This paper has critically investigated the nature of risk posed by regulatory authorities in OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-ordination and Development)countries in inhibiting the flourishing growth in the market for the outsourcing of e-commerce services in certain developing countries. In order to illustrate the extent of the benefits contained in the e-commerce outsourcing trade, specific attention was paid to the dramatic trade growth experienced in India, with outsourcing contracts representing a sizeable percentage of the Gross Domestic Product of that country and with all the prospects for continued future growth.

The Nature of the Relationship between American Multinational Corporations and Chinese Businesses and Its Effect on the Problem of Intellectual Property LawRadonjic, Katarina 29 November 2012 (has links)
Intellectual property rights (IPR) have become a major problem in the relationship between the industrialized West and the developing South, primarily because the West demands that developing countries adopt and enforce Western IPR. Since the relationship between US corporations and Chinese businesses is among the most successful and at the center of the current process of globalization, IPR have been a major cause of conflict and controversy between them and serve as an exemplar for this thesis. I argue, first, that the reason that a large number of Chinese businesses, especially
privately-owned small and medium-sized enterprises, infringe foreign IPR lies in the
nature of the difference between what have been mostly low-tech traditional Chinese
businesses and high-tech industrial economies, to which intellectual property laws belong. Second, I demonstrate that the steady improvement of intellectual property protection in the more successful areas of development in the Chinese economy suggests
that the solution for improved IPR protection in China and perhaps other emerging nations will follow, not precede, the development and transformation of a low-tech pre-industrial economy into an industrial high-tech economy.
