Two tax programs were regulated during the study period: the FOMENTAR (1985 -1999), the government of IRIS RESENDE (PMDB), whose industrial bias was continued with the PRODUZIR (2000-2007), managing of Marconi Perillo (PSDB). To this end, it raises the incentive instruments mobilized for investment attraction, as well as documents and socioeconomic statistics from the process of industrialization in Goiás. This information was collected from various sources, the IPEA, the State Department of Planning, in the Department of Trade and Industry and the Institute Mauro Borges. This information supported the contextualization and theoretical discussion of research and subsequently the analysis and interpretation of the model of industrial policy that is being implemented in Goiás. It appears that, during the study period, more than 800 industrial enterprises were engaged, moving an amount of tax benefit of R$ 773.6 billion by FOMENTAR (1985 -1999) and R$ 106.8 billion by PRODUZIR (2000-2007). Note that the relative incentive / employment costs, on average, R$ 240.43, reaching up to 280.34 thousand. On the number of jobs created and their evolution, as well as the residence of workers in firms, were not found consistent data for analysis. The Attraction Program Industrial Investments was seamlessly implemented by managers later, getting both positive and negative, with the possibility of adjustment. On the one hand, we note that there was significant economic growth; on the other, it is problem identified that did not distribute income and was not able to internalize the industry. It is noteworthy that this policy of incentives in the period exactly occurs when the country goes through a process of stagnation, because of purported "War Tax . The study points to the industrialization model inspired by the theory of growth poles (PERROUX) conveniently located in the historical and strategic state, driving the development of these central places today "Regional Polos" in Goiás. Such are polarized in the Catalão (Southeast), Rio Verde (Southwest), Itumbiara (South Central), Luziânia (around of Brasília), Anápolis (micro region of Mato Grosso - near Goiás) and Goiânia (Goiânia metropolitan region). In fact, the major economic center of Goiás remains Goiânia. / O presente estudo propõe verificar a utilização de incentivos fiscais, creditícios e infraestruturais, como instrumentos de atração de investimento industrial no estado de Goiás de 1985 a 2007. Dois programas fiscais foram regulamentados no período da pesquisa: o FOMENTAR (1985 a 1999), no governo de IRIS RESENDE (PMDB), cujo viés industrial teve continuidade com o PRODUZIR (2000 a 2007), na gestão de Marconi Perillo (PSDB). Para tal fim, levantam-se os instrumentos de incentivos mobilizados para a atração de investimentos, bem como documentos e dados estatísticos socioeconômicos decorrentes do processo de industrialização em Goiás. Essas informações foram coletadas, entre várias outras fontes, no IPEA, na Secretaria Estadual de Planejamento, na Secretaria de Indústria e Comércio e no Instituto Mauro Borges. Tais informações subsidiaram a contextualização e a discussão teórica da pesquisa e, posteriormente, a análise e a interpretação do modelo de política industrial que está sendo implementado no território goiano. Verifica-se que, no período estudado, mais de 800 empreendimentos industriais foram contratados, movimentando um montante de incentivo fiscal de R$773.6 bilhões pelo FOMENTAR (1985-1999) e de R$ 106,8 bilhões pelo PRODUZIR (2000 a 2007). Nota-se que a relação incentivo / emprego custa, em média, R$240.43 mil reais, podendo chegar até a 280.34 mil. Sobre o número de empregos gerados e sua evolução, assim como a permanência dos trabalhadores nas firmas, não foram encontrados dados consistentes para análise. O Programa de Atração de Investimentos Industriais foi implementado sem descontinuidade pelos gestores posteriores, obtendo tanto resultados positivos quanto negativos, com possibilidades de adequação. Por um lado, nota-se que houve um crescimento econômico significativo; por outro, identifica-se que não distribuiu renda e não foi capaz de interiorizar a indústria. Vale ressaltar que esta política de incentivos ocorre exatamente no período em que o país passa por um processo de estagnação, razão da propalada Guerra Fiscal . O estudo aponta para o modelo de industrialização inspirado na teoria dos polos de crescimento (PERROUX), com localização em pontos históricos e estratégicos do Estado, impulsionando o desenvolvimento destes lugares centrais, hoje Polos Regionais em Goiás. Estes se acham polarizados nos municípios de Catalão (Sudeste), Rio Verde (Sudoeste), Itumbiara (Centro-Sul), Luziânia (entorno de Brasília), Anápolis (Microrregião Mato Grosso Goiano) e Goiânia (Região Metropolitana de Goiânia). Na verdade, o grande polo econômico de Goiás continua sendo Goiânia.

Although Talent Management is an area of research that has captured the attention of many as organizations around the world compete for talent, it is a relatively new area of research. Sweden is a country where the shortage of skilled workforce is significant and demand is high, especially in the knowledge-intensive industry. Hence, the aim of the thesis is to contribute to the understanding of how organizations in Sweden in the knowledge-intensive industries, attract and retain talents through talent management practices. This study is based on a qualitative methodology where the data collection was conducted through eight semi-structured interviews with ten respondents. The results show that talent can be defined both as something that all employees can become and develop into, and as personal qualities, but also depending on the context and situation. Talent attraction is achieved through employer branding and reputation building. A good reputation can be achieved through honesty and openness, through partnerships with other actors that are beneficial to the organization and through personal encounters both outside and inside the organization. In addition to the obvious benefits, an organization can develop methods to develop and enable career goals. Organizational culture can have an impact on the work of Talent Management and thus can set norms and influence perceptions of talent within an organization.

Companies in the North of Sweden are expressing big difficulties to acquire the right competency and the right people to fill voids in their organization. The purpose of this research paper was to gain an understanding of how companies in the north work with selected contributing factors, affecting their ability to attract talent. Starting off we gained perspective on how companies define talent and which talent management approach they implement. From there we learned to which extent they prioritize people fitting into the company’s identity/values and work with communicating with talents by displaying themselves as an attractive employer. Our attempt was to uncover any underlying behavior or beliefs within this region contributing to why this region, in particular, is experiencing difficulties in attracting talent. To reach these understandings, we conducted a case study holding six in-depth interviews with different companies in various locations within the region “Norrland”. By using the thematic analysis method, we concluded that businesses have attitudes regarding the nature of talent and how it should be managed which limits their view of who is considered as a competent potential employee. Moreover, we found that the majority of businesses operating the north to a relatively high extent prioritize their relationship with their employees. However, they do not work to a high extent with the creation of a strong employer brand, possibly contributing to the situation as it is perceived in the north.

Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH SUMMARY: With diminishing sources of capital over the past two decades, developing countries have increasingly regarded the flow of foreign direct investment (FDI) as their main source of capital for development. In response to this, countries have also liberalised their policies, making their investment climate friendlier to FDI. This has been accompanied by increased competition amongst such countries to attract FDI, resulting in higher investment incentive packages offered by host governments to potential investors. This study aims to analyse the significance of host country incentives in attracting FDI, and consider whether or not these generous incentives benefit only the foreign investors, without any positive spillovers and linkages being created within the domestic economy, as this is usually given as the strongest motivation for offering these generous incentives. The research has used case studies of three diverse countries to compare and contrast their approach to incentive policies: • Lesotho, where no incentives are offered specifically to foreign investors • Namibia, with its export processing zones (EPZ) and • South Africa, which offers industry-specific incentives. The analysis is undertaken on aggregate FDI inflows to these three countries for the period 1998 to 2004. These are then compared to other selected countries from Africa. A further analysis of relative performance of FDI to gross fixed capital formation and GDP has also been undertaken for the same period. A separate analysis of the flow of FDI to Namibia four years before and after the introduction of the EPZ regime is also undertaken, and the results are compared with those of Lesotho and South Africa during the same period. It can be concluded that fiscal incentives have not had a significant impact on aggregate FDI inflow into Namibia, but that industry specific incentives such as those used in South Africa have had a much better impact. The results also show that there has been little evidence that FDI has created positive spillovers and linkages in these economies and therefore that the use of generous incentives may have benefited foreign investors more and accrued costs for the host governments. The study has also shown that, despite the absence of essential determinants of FDI in countries such as Angola i.e. adequate infrastructure, economic stability and good governance, FDI in Africa has been mainly resource seeking; concentrated on resource and in particular petroleum rich countries such as Nigeria, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. This form of FDI creates little or no linkages with the rest of the economy and therefore contributes which means that little contribution is being made to the broader development of the economy of the continent.

Private organizations, not-for-profit, belonging to the third sector of the society, have played an important role in the international development agenda, contributing directly or indirectly to the implementation of environmental and humanitarian actions, reduction of poverty and the defense of rights and social equality. Nevertheless, research on EI and OEI in this type of organization are still incipient. Additionally there is a lack of research to understand the Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies. This research contributes to overcoming this gaps by analyzing whether and how three central constructs of EI and OEI - proactiveness, innovativeness and risk-taking - are related to fundraising by these organizations. Through a multiple cases study it was found, at an exploratory level, that these constructs are related to fundraising and that they explain performance differences among organization with respect to this goal. The research contributes to the theory of EI and OEI by expanding the field in which the validity of core constructs of these theoretical perspectives have been checked. It contributes to the management of these organizations by indicating what entrepreneurial behaviors can increase fundraising . / Pesquisas têm mostrado que o Empreendedorismo Internacional (EI) e a Orientação Empreendedora Internacional (OEI) estão presentes em comportamentos que levam à internacionalização de empresas. Organizações privadas sem fins lucrativos, pertencentes ao Terceiro Setor da sociedade, têm desempenhado importante papel na agenda de desenvolvimento internacional, colaborando direta ou indiretamente para a execução de ações socioambientais, humanitárias, em prol da defesa de direitos e igualdade social. Pesquisas sobre EI e OEI nessas organizações são ainda incipientes. Alia-se a isso o fato de que estudos também indicam carência de pesquisas para o entendimento do Empreendedorismo em Economias Emergentes. Esta pesquisa contribui para a superação dessas lacunas pela análise de se e como três construtos centrais da EI e da OEI pró-atividade, inovatividade e assunção de riscos relacionam-se com a captação de recursos internacionais das organizações do Terceiro Setor no Brasil. Por meio de um estudo de casos múltiplos, verificou-se, em nível exploratório, que esses construtos estão relacionados com a captação e explicam as diferenças de desempenho entre as organizações em relação a essa captação. A pesquisa contribui para a teoria de EI e OEI por intermédio da expansão do domínio em que a validade de construtos centrais para essas perspectivas foram verificadas e para a prática da captação, por essas organizações, por meio da indicação de quais comportamentos empreendedores podem contribuir para a melhora do desempenho na captação.

An important issue, but outside the mainstream of International Relations, is paradiplomacy, which has ancient roots and is gaining new proportions nowadays, through international cooperation processes decentralized, a phenomenon emphasizing systems of government with political decentralization of power, that provide greater or lesser degree of openness to international foray of the Non-Central Governments (NCG). This dissertation seeks to address foreign affairs of municipal governments in Brazil, focusing on the concept of Local International Management, but also highlights the financial cooperation through external funding. In this process, we observe the construction of an agenda of local municipal interests on the international level, putting into perspective Recife, capital of the state of Pernambuco, which has an International Relations Coordination, and the Capibaribe Melhor Project, highlighting for external funding, in this case, with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development - IBRD. This study aims to show empirically the treatment of international integration of federal Brazilian Federal Government and paradiplomacy in Northeastern Brazil, a heterogeneous process of projection international of the cities, but which strengthens the perception of an endogenous local development. To meet this goal, the theoretical dimension have contributions from researchers in the area and a discussion around the federalist and sociological vision, the first of which provides a more concerted contribution to the existence of the conceptual term paradiplomacy and its influence on classical diplomacy and second examines a reflexive debate over the role of cities internationally. As a result, research shows that both Local International Management and financial cooperation lead time and contribute to a process that is permeated by the political will of the actor involved in the dynamics. In Recife was no different, with their respective International Relations Coordination which in turn shows up as a channel for international cooperation, administering therefore international relations of the municipality. Another equally important result is the external funding, in which the interference of the Brazilian government, the will of the subnational entity in realizing local development and financial cooperation, the international actor of making resources available to the municipality, which contributed to a normalization of international financial cooperation in the country and the responsibility of commitments to the international financial institution, by the federalist entity. Finally, All this explanation, may corroborate to give more emphasize to the municipal paradiplomacy in the country, by the example of the city of Recife. / As Relações Internacionais contemporâneas concentram meios e processos que partem do atual curso da globalização, como: a revolução técnico-científica, a domesticação das relações internacionais, a participação crescente, em âmbito internacional, de governos subnacionais (regiões, estados, cidades, municípios, províncias, governos locais no geral), com a perceptível descentralização fiscal e política de poder dos Estados-Nações. Um tema importante, mas fora do mainstream das Relações Internacionais, é a paradiplomacia, que tem raízes antigas e ganha novas proporções nos dias atuais, através de processos de cooperação internacional descentralizados, um fenômeno, no qual destaque é dado aos sistemas de governo com descentralização política de poder, que proporcionam maior ou menor grau de abertura à incursão internacional dos Governos Não Centrais (GNCs). Esta dissertação procura abordar às relações exteriores dos governos municipais brasileiros, com foco no conceito de gestão internacional local, como também destacar a cooperação financeira, através da captação de recursos externos. Neste processo, observar a construção de uma agenda de interesses municipais locais em âmbito internacional, colocando Recife em perspectiva, capital do estado de Pernambuco, que possui uma Coordenadoria de Relações Internacionais, e o Projeto Capibaribe Melhor, dando destaque para a captação de recursos externos, no caso, com o Banco Internacional para Reconstrução e Desenvolvimento - BIRD. Este estudo visa mostrar empiricamente o tratamento da inserção internacional dos entes federativos pelo Governo Federal Brasileiro e a paradiplomacia na Região Nordeste do Brasil, um processo heterógeno de projeção internacional das cidades, mas que fortalece a percepção de um desenvolvimento local endógeno. Para cumprir essa meta, a dimensão teórica tem contribuições de pesquisadores na área, como Soldatos (1990), Duchacek (1990), Lecours (2008), Ribeiro (2009), Bessa Maia (2012), com a contribuição do debate em torno da visão federalista e sociológica, sendo que a primeira proporciona uma contribuição mais concertada sobre a existência conceitual do termo paradiplomacia e sua influência na diplomacia clássica e a segunda aprofunda um debate mais reflexivista da atuação das cidades internacionalmente. Como resultado, a pesquisa mostra que tanto a gestão internacional local quanto à cooperação financeira delongam tempo e contribuem para um processo que é permeado pela vontade política do ator envolvido na dinâmica. Em Recife não foi diferente, com a sua respectiva Coordenadoria de Relações Internacionais, que por seu turno mostra-se como um canal para cooperação internacional, administrando, portanto, às relações internacionais do município. Outro resultado igualmente importante é a captação de recursos externos, na qual a interferência do Governo brasileiro, a vontade do ente subnacional em realizar o desenvolvimento local, com cooperação financeira e, o ator internacional de dispor recursos para o município, contribuiu para uma normatização da cooperação financeira internacional no país e a responsabilidade dos compromissos assumidos com a instituição financeira internacional, por parte do ente federativo. Finalmente, toda essa explicação, pode corroborar para dar ênfase a paradiplomacia municipal no país, pelo exemplo da cidade do Recife.

Delningsekonomiföretag kännetecknas av digitala plattformar vars värde ökar med antalet användare. Tidigare forskning har dock visat på att svårigheter existerar angående vem, samt vilka kanaler marknadskommunikationen ska ske genom för att nya användare ska attraheras. Konsumenter idag spenderar allt mer tid på internet och sociala medier har setts möjliggöra för smidigare interaktioner mellan användare och mellan användare och företag på digitala plattformar. Då forskning däremot saknas om innebörden av sociala medier som kommunikationskanaler inom delningsekonomin samt hur dessa används för att uppfylla företagens mål ses det därför som väsentligt att skapa förståelse för hur dessa agerar i sin kommunikation genom sociala medier, för att nå kunder. / Sharing economy companies are characterized by digital platforms, where value increases with the number of users. Previous research has, however, shown difficulties regarding who, and which channels should be used in marketing communication in order to attract these users. As consumers today are more digital, social media has shown to enable smoother interactions between companies and consumers as well as between consumers. As research is lacking on the relevancy of these channels for communication purposes, within the sharing economy, and how these are used to fulfil company goals, it is therefore considered essential to create an understanding of how existing sharing economy companies communicate to reach users.

Hiring the wrong leader can have disastrous effects on the productivity, moral, time and budget of an organization. In fact, a gap of leaders will arise in the next years, which makes it necessary to know and use the right strategies for attracting and selecting the appropriate future leaders who have the ability to successfully lead a company. Therefore, recruiting and selecting the right leaders is an important challenge for all organizations worldwide. How can they find, attract and choose people to become leaders? To answer this question, this Thesis looks at the whole process of hiring future leaders for organizations. First, we want to determine what is necessary to be successful in a leadership position in an organization. Second, we figured out what kind of recruitment strategies can be used in order to attract and find leaders, and third, we aim at showing which methods companies can employ to select the best fitting candidate for their vacant leadership position. In order to find answers to these questions, we have conducted interviews with seven leaders from different industry sectors, who shared their experience about leadership and the way of finding, attracting and selecting talented people who can become future leaders. Moreover, we conducted a questionnaire that has been handed out to students who might be potential leaders of the future. To ensure the meaningfulness of the study, we asked students from different faculties in 21 countries. The reason of the mixture of different sources is to acquire a broader insight into how the recruitment and selection of leaders takes place, with the aim of creating a representative picture.

2011-uosius metus Europos Komisija paskelbė Savanorystės metais. Savanorystė jau tapo tarptautiniu reiškiniu, kurio nauda pastebima ne tik visuomenės ir nevyriausybinių organizacijų, bet ir paties žmogaus besiimančio šios veiklos asmenybės tobulėjimui. Europos savanorių centras išleido manifestą, kuriuo skelbiama apie savanorystės svarbą bei siūlomi konkretūs veiksmai, kuriais remiantis būtų ugdoma savanorišką veiklą šalyje gerbianti visuomenė. Taip pat šį rudenį Lietuvos Prezidentė nutarė steigti darbo grupę, kuri siūlys savanorystės problemų sprendimus. Tai yra aktuali šiomis dienomis nagrinėjama tema, kurios efektyvinimui didinti jau yra imamasi įvairiausių priemonių (pvz.:. dažniausiai žiniasklaidoje minimas rengiamas savanoriškos veiklos įstatymo projektas ar vykdomos įvairios savanorystę paremti programos). Tyrimo objektas – nevyriausybinių organizacijų savanorių pasitelkimo galimybių plėtra. Tyrimo tikslas - ištyrus savanoriško darbo paplitimo tendencijas Lietuvoje ir Belgijoje pateikti vadybos gerąją praktika grįstas organizacines priemones motyvuojančias Lietuvos gyventojus tapti savanoriais. Tyrimo uždaviniai: 1. Apžvelgti nevyriausybinių organizacijų veiklos aplinką, nustatyti teorines prielaidas pasitelkti savanorius NVO veikloje; 2. Nustatyti ir ištirti organizacijų požymių rinkinį, kuriam esant savanorystė gali būti plėtojama geriausiu būdu. Nustatyti, kaip nevyriausybinių organizacijų žinomumas ir aktyvumas daro įtaką savanorių pritraukimui. 3. Nustatyti...

Wetlands in the United States have been decreasing in number from the time European settlers began draining them for agricultural purposes to the present. Wetlands serve many important ecological functions such as waterfowl habitat.The purpose of this project was to investigate wetland creation literature in order to develop a process which could be applied to a particular site to attract waterfowl. The topics reviewed for this project were goal setting, for wetland creations, wetland creation methodologies and waterfowl habitat criteria. The major portion of the project was devoted to the construction process of the wetland. The criteria used to direct the wetland construction were hydrology, topographic contour design, revegetation, and protective buffers. Trail development to provide public access for educational purposes was also an important component of the wetland design. Waterfowl habitat criteria was also researched and applied to the project in order it insure that waterfowl would be attracted to the wetland.The process developed from the research was applied to Jim Haberek's property located in Anderson, Indiana. The product was a masterplan which included a site analysis, a water level management plan, a contour design, a revegetation plan, protective buffers and a trail design for the public. / Department of Landscape Architecture
