Managing Human Capital During the Covid-19 Pandemic
This book offers a critical, reflective and contextual analysis on human capital and how it was managed globally during the COVID-19 pandemic. It covers macro, meso and micro perspectives, identifies gaps in our existing knowledge and offers implications for the study and practice of global human capital management, post the COVID-19 pandemic. Evidence from the studies in our book suggest that organizations globally employ a mixed workforce, consisting of individuals from various nationalities and cultures. While this brings undoubted opportunity for both employees and firms, one of the challenges in promoting long term growth and global competitiveness, specifically during a global crisis, is how effectively human capital is managed in a professional but humane manner, such that it enhances overall employee engagement and long-term commitment. Overall, this contribution complements the other titles in the Palgrave Studies in Global Human Capital Management series.
The Chinese Global Dream, Volume II
This book explores the socio-economic, political and diplomatic implications of China's ongoing engagement with the Latin America region against the backdrop of an increasingly fragile global political climate. It investigates the successes of the post-pandemic era diplomacy, alongside the setbacks, as China seeks to secure and maintain her presence across the region. Ever since Xi lengthened his stewardship of China by another decade, he has been aiming to level-up the Chinese values and Sino-orientalism on the global stage. Through the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) he expanded into the Middle East, and through natural resource veiled humanitarian relief efforts, he sought to strengthen China's hold across Africa. Only Latin America now remains. This book investigates the tentative shift in bilateral and multilateral relations, along with the possibility and likelihood of a stronger China-Latin America alliance, and the reactions of the West. The book endeavours to combine traditional academic discourse with contemporary interpretations and provides a balanced assessment of the current successes and drawbacks of the network. Making a comparative analysis of the roles of each of the Latin American nations in allowing China to fulfil this endeavour through a global vs. local approach, this book is suitable for those researching and studying contemporary Chinese strategic relations, regional studies and geo-strategy.
Catholic Social Teaching and the Development of Nations
This book addresses Catholic Social Teaching's questions. First, what the Church teaches about the economic development of nations; second, how these teachings can be applied to the case of the DRC; third, how this application works. The Church teaches about economic development through moral principles of the universal destination of goods and solidarity. With regard to the universal destination of goods, the Church teaches that all the goods of the earth, especially the new goods, which are technological and scientific knowledge, have to be shared fairly with all nations (Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, 179). With solidarity, the Church suggests international cooperation among nations for development (Compendium, 446). These teachings can be applied to the case of the DRC, which is a poor country in need of technological knowledge to develop its natural resources to encourage economic and integral development. Education could make this project happen. Some professors from Catholic University of America and the University of Notre Dame can volunteer to teach technological knowledge at the Catholic University of Congo; they can also offer scholarships to students.

This relationship revolved around the Co's. continual efforts to break into the Armenian held silk and cloth markets. This trade relationship epitomizes the age of competitive partnership that existed then. Addresses the question "What was the key to the Armenian merchants' success during the pre-modern period?". Their "fabulous success" may be attributed to the rare atmosphere of trust that prevailed among the Armenian merchant community which, in turn, led to two significant benefits: organizational cost savings; and organizational innovations.
Handbook of Development Economics
Development Economics applies modern techniques of macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis to the study of the economic, social, environmental and institutional problems facing developing countries. It focuses on the determinants of poverty and underdevelopment, as well as on the policies that need to be implemented in order to improve the development of developing countries. As a set of public and private practices that support economic growth, development economics appears in its generality as a transversal knowledge, because it guides the participation of all actors in the development effort. The aim of this book is to explain the principles of development economics, and to identify the ways in which economic problems can be tackled. It is divided into three main sections.The first part introduces the major framers of the world economy; the second offers the essential concepts and principles of macroeconomics; and the third elucidates the major issues in international economics.
