Abstract

This publication provides new information on public research institutions (PRIs) and government strategies. Public research institutions are crucial for innovation due to their role in knowledge creation and diffusion. While absolute real expenditure on R&D in this sector has risen, it now accounts for a smaller share of total R&D spending by OECD countries and of OECD GDP. The targets and focus of many PRIs have evolved in recent years. Changing activities, new policy challenges and wider economic and political developments have driven change in missions and mandates and linkages have become focal points for many. Internationalisation has also increased and relationships are frequently collaborative. PRIs’ sources of income are diverse but funding has become increasingly competitive. Funding instruments need to balance short-and long-term goals to uphold research quality and ensure the sustainability of PRI activities.

Abstract

Some time in the coming decade, Iran will probably acquire nuclear weapons or the capacity to quickly produce them. This monograph provides a midterm strategy for dealing with Iran that neither begins nor ends at the point at which Tehran acquires a nuclear weapon capability. It proposes an approach that neither acquiesces to a nuclear-armed Iran nor refuses to admit the possibility--indeed, the likelihood--of this occurring.

Abstract

Public administration, since antiquity and in the years to come, will remain the central and most decisive instrument of governance for ensuring human security and well-being through the effective delivery of quality public services. Looking back at 50 years of the landscape of comparative public administration, the story told through these pages has tried to document the odyssey of an international organization that successfully confronted many challenges to its existence while achieving continuity of leadership by providing a homogeneous outlook with participatory and interactive forum for both academics and practitioners. An impressive gathering of scholars and practitioners working as a team has provided a panoramic overview of the history of comparative public administration as a field of study, and the role played by the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration during its 50 years odyssey. Edited by O.P. Dwivedi with contributions from such eminent scholars and IASIA stalwarts as Ladipo Admolekun, Paul Collins, Michiel de Vries, Turgay Ergun, Bernardo Mattarella, Stefano Pizzicannella, Melchior Powell, Allan Rosenbaum, Roger Wettenhall, and Gabriel William, the volume depicts an intimate account of the start-up, the inner workings and accomplishments of an international organization which helped in the maturity of the discipline by building a strong foundation for experts and practitioners to exchange ideas and learn from each other.

Abstract

"What makes your company great today, however, won't necessarily make it great tomorrow. Evolving is critical to long-term corporate performance and health. Humankind's greatest invention isn't the wheel, it is organization: people working together towards a goal that is beyond what can be achieved by the sum of individuals acting alone. As each generation finds better and better ways of working together, we perform at levels that previous generations could never have imagined. On top of long term trends like cost-free availability of information and deriving differentiation by creating an experience, the world appears to be emerging from the most profound and far-reaching economic crisis since the great depression of the 1930's. And five other factors will continue to drive global change: the historic shift in economic growth from the developed to the developing world; an unprecedented imperative for mature economics to raise productivity to preserve living standards; the rise of new networks of communication and trade; a profound challenge in balancing economic growth and environmental sustainability; and an expanded role for the state in regulating markets. For organizations to not only be excellent but stay excellent, companies need to respond to these challenges with tact and understanding that with the right techniques, change can be driven to a company's advantage. If you are a leader of people who wants to change things for the better, this book is for you. If you want to leave a profound and lasting legacy in your organization and the stakeholder it serves, this book will help you do so"--
