Book Description

In an intensely competitive world, each organization is supposed to find the most efficient and effective organizational strategy to cope with change. This pressure also forces organizations to act ever more quickly. To enhance their capability to respond to change, organizations should seek to identify what are their core competencies and the competitive advantages which are their keys to success. At first inspection, people might consider the knowledge and skills embodied in the organizational workforce because they are the most precious assets. The term “organizational learning” has become a term of interest to most academics and practitioners. Simultaneously, organizations have to consider the cultural context in environments in which they act. This study explored the impacts of culture (both national and organizational culture) on the organizational learning in Cambodia.

Book Description

Just a little over five decades ago all but Thailand among the ten nations that comprise the Association of Southeastern Asian Nations (Asean) were colonized, impeding their economic and political development. The colonial powers exploited the natural resources of the region for their own gain, retarding industrialization, advanced education and any independence internal and external conflicts such as border disputes, the Vietnam war, the Indonesian-Malaysian Confrontation, the separation of Singapore from Malaysia, the breakup of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Malaysia, and the Khmer Rouge holocaust, followed by Vietnam's liberation and immediate occupation of Cambodia, robbed these countries of any opportunity to form an association that would help the speed reconstruction, cooperation and regional friendship. Not until 1974, when the first five member countries formed Asean, was there a beginning for regional unity.

By November 2002, the occasion of the 8th Asean Summit, all ten nations in the region were members and a number of cooperative economic efforts had been forged, including plans to develop road and rail links aimed at leapfrogging regional cooperative development. On the eve of the summit, held in Cambodia - the last nation to join Asean - seven leaders of the region voiced their views in interviews with the editors of The Cambodia Daily on such issues as poverty reduction, women empowerment, competition from China, human rights, "Asian values", impact of the Internet, threats from terrorism, the responsibility of the richer nations towards the poorer, the potential of becoming another "European Union", and non-interference in each others' affairs. This book focuses on the issues facing these ten Southeastern nations and how their leaders assess the problems, solutions and the new direction Asean is moving in uncertain times.

Book Description

Microfinance had been more a social nature of its services, which had been operated alike the form of humanitarian agencies. However, the current focus is turning to sustain the institution by self-generating the incomes and providing the services. This was due to the shrinking funding resources supported by the donors and the ever increasing demands of the working poor. The findings indicated that the licensed microfinance institutions were profit oriented organizations, which operated mostly on individual loan to the viable clients. The vulnerable and short term vision of sustainability and growth was due to dependence on the international funding sources and limited local saving. In the view of operational sustainability, these MFIs were showing the continuous increase of the repayment rate, number of clients and amount of loan outstanding. These were due to the strict eligible criteria and the growing demand of loan. However, they tended not to have financial sustainability due to the high operational costs. Also, their limited outreach to the central areas was the constraint to optimum use of available resources.

Book Description

Products and services for Bottom of the Pyramid consumers have been neglected for a long time. Until now, most of the products designed for the poor have been strongly subsidized or given away free of charge. As the present shows, the output is far away from being satisfying. Time has come to take the BoP consumers seriously and to treat them in appropriate ways. This book analyses the challenges in marketing which arise by scaling up the point-of-use water treatment systems. The knowledge that markets and consumers in developing countries do not behave the same way than they do in the developed world is just one step to succeed. But there is usually far more needed than just adapt marketing, because the consumers often have to change their behaviour. That is the point where social marketing comes in. This book shows one possible approach about how to construct a promising social marketing strategy for water purifiers in developing markets. Furthermore it includes a field study about the IDE Cambodia?s ceramic water purifier distribution system, its problems and how it could be improved.

Book Description

The inspirational story of a former Microsoft executive’s quest to build libraries around the world and share the love of books

What’s happened since John Wood left Microsoft to change the world? Just ask six million kids in the poorest regions of Asia and Africa. In 1999, at the age of thirty-five, Wood quit a lucrative career to found the nonprofit Room to Read. Described by the San Francisco Chronicle as “the Andrew Carnegie of the developing world,” he strived to bring the lessons of the corporate world to the nonprofit sector—and succeeded spectacularly.

In his acclaimed first book, Leaving Microsoft to Change the World, Wood explained his vision and the story of his start-up. Now, he tackles the organization’s next steps and its latest challenges—from managing expansion to raising money in a collapsing economy to publishing books for children who literally have no books in their native language. At its heart, Creating Room to Read shares moving stories of the people Room to Read works to help: impoverished children whose schools and villages have been swept away by war or natural disaster and girls whose educations would otherwise be ignored.

People at the highest levels of finance, government, and philanthropy will embrace the opportunity to learn Wood’s inspiring business model and blueprint for doing good. And general readers will love Creating Room to Read for its spellbinding story of one man’s mission to put books within every child’s reach.

Aid Dependence in Cambodia: How Foreign Assistance Undermines Democracy [Hardcover]

Author: Sophal Ear Publisher: Columbia University Press Publishing Date: 2012 Hardcover: 208 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 0231161123 ISBN-13: 978-0231161121 Format: Hardcover, Kindle Edition, Product Dimensions: 9 x 6.1 x 1 inches Shipping Weight: 15.2 ounces Buy at Amazon

Book Description

International intervention liberated Cambodia from pariah state status in the early 1990s and laid the foundations for more peaceful, representative rule. Yet the country's social indicators and the integrity of its political institutions declined rapidly within a few short years, while inequality grew dramatically. Conducting an unflinching investigation into these developments, Sophal Ear reveals the pernicious effects of aid dependence and its perversion of Cambodian democracy.

International intervention and foreign aid resulted in higher maternal (and possibly infant and child) mortality rates and unprecedented corruption by the mid-2000s. Similarly, in example after example, Ear finds the more aid dependent a country, the more distorted its incentives to develop sustainably. Contrasting Cambodia's clothing sector with its rice and livestock sectors and internal handling of the avian flu epidemic, he showcases the international community's role in preventing Cambodia from controlling its national development.

A postconflict state unable to refuse aid, Cambodia is rife with trial-and-error donor experiments and their unintended consequences, such as bad governance and poor domestic and tax revenue performance -- a major factor curbing sustainable, nationally owned growth. By outlining the terms through which countries can achieve better ownership of their development, Ear offers alternatives for governments still on the brink of collapse, despite ongoing dependence on foreign intervention and aid.
