Fiscal Reform in Colombia: Problems and Prospects

Book Description

Colombia, once a model of fiscal discipline for other Latin American nations, has seen its fiscal situation deteriorate since the early 1990s. Higher government spending, taxes that did not keep pace with expenditures, and severe recession led to an unsustainable debt-to-GDP ratio of 52 percent in 2002. Short-term tax increases, even coupled with spending reforms, have not restored Colombia to fiscal balance. A Colombian government commission charged with researching more long-term tax and fiscal reforms gave rise to the selected essays included in this book, each coauthored by Colombian and North American public finance experts. The analyses and recommendations have particular policy relevance for developing economies in general.

The studies include both broad discussions of Colombian fiscal and tax systems and detailed analyses of such specific tax instruments as the payroll tax, value-added tax, and the bank debit tax. The focus is on three key concerns: the sustainability of Colombia's fiscal situation, possible reforms to the national tax system, and the fiscal relationship between the national and subnational governments. The theme that emerges from these studies -- the importance of moving toward a more efficient and equitable tax system while also raising revenue -- suggests the limitations of stopgap measures and the real need for long-term fiscal reform.

Book Description

Japanese women, who comprise more than 40% of their country's workforce, are essential to the Japanese economy. Yet they are not typically thought of as managers, at home or abroad. Jean Renshaw challenges that perception in this pathbreaking book, showing readers where and how an "invisible evolution" is occurring in Japanese business. Traditional norms of lifetime employment, the seniority system, and the bureaucratic, tightly knit nature of Japanese industry all restrict women's entry into management. Despite these enormous barriers, the number of Japanese women managers has almost doubled in the last ten years. In an effort to discover the secrets of their success, Renshaw interviewed over 150 successful Japanese women managers. She explored family backgrounds, personal characteristics, socialization, professional experiences, and corporate cultures. This book presents her sometimes surprising discoveries. Renshaw completes the picture by surveying the history of Japanese women in management and discussing the even newer phenomenon of Japanese women who own their own businesses. An eye-opening work for managers of international firms and scholars of business and women's studies, Kimono in the Boardroom reveals the potential of the rising female managerial class to profoundly change the male-dominated culture of modern Japan.

Book Description

This book is a two-part study examining how the electronic purchasing landscape has shifted in the last eighteen months. First, a survey of 1,550 chain-restaurant and hotel executives from the 2002 Directory of Chain Restaurant Operators was conducted. Twenty-one questions were posed to them including the following: What types of applications do you use to purchase electronically? How is your spending distributed? How much did you spend on deployment? Who installed your application? How much time did you spend on training? What features have you deployed? Are you satisfied with your application? Answers to these questions not only assist those looking to use purchasing applications but also those that are developing applications. By seeing how much people are willing to spend in both time and money, the application development industry can tune their product parameters to meet the demand. In addition to the survey, twenty-two applications were reviewed. Provided are definitions of those involved including distributors, consortiums, and applications developers, both traditional and ASP model. From there ten application developers are reviewed based upon over fifty criteria that fall into ten categories. This is of great value to those that are attempting to select and purchase an e-procurement application. It is a comprehensive study of the strengths and weaknesses of each company as well as a complete look at every real player in the industry. The application developer will also find this research of value to determine where they play in reference to their competition.

This is more of a small business start-up tool, a must have for small business beginners. It is packed full of checklists and doesn't bore you with lots of mumble. It gets down to the nitty-gritty and then some. The only thing missing was informative examples which I do value in some cases but, I highly recommend for anyone trying to venture out into being your own boss.

Job Search Navigator was definitely the most helpful tool I have found in my post-college job hunt. It's up-to-date research and interview tips were simple and to the point, without being condescending. It's no "Job Hunt for Dummies", rather a guide for serious seekers who want to make the most of their professional career search. The book even gives a lesson in networking and prospecting for those who are out of practice (or have never tried!) Cool and very usable!

In gratitude to Mr. Patton.......2000-12-06

As an avid reader of quality books and graduate of UCLA School of Law, I strongly encourage the purchase of Ron Patton's Interrrupted Identity.

Not only does the book provide actual case examples of identity theft but it arms the would be victim with real solutions. In addition, Mr. Patton includes real laws and their citations so there is no place for the perpetrator to hide. Many people will become victims of identity theft is a harsh brutal reality.

Book Description

This important book offers a revolutionary approach to solving a range of social problems--drug use, smoking, unsafe sex, and overpopulation--by applying marketing techniques and concepts to change behavior. For example, it shows that at-risk teenagers are consumers who decide whether or not to "buy" safe sex practices. This successful approach is based on Alan R. Andreasen's more than twenty years of experience in consulting, teaching, and research with social marketing programs around the world.

Andreasen shows that effective social change starts with a thorough understanding of the needs, wants, and perceptions of the target consumer--who has ultimate control over the outcomes. The book offers a detailed explanation of how to design a step-by-step program that will move the customer from ignorance and indifference to action and ultimately maintenance of that action. Marketing Social Change offers a wealth of information for developing an effective social marketing plan.

Customer Reviews:

Very good basic book on social marketing.......2004-10-10

This book provides a very good overview of social marketing. I use this as a text book in a graduate course that I teach and find it useful in giving students a clear idea of how social marketing relates to the broader topic of nonprofit marketing, without requring them to wade through all of the additional information that a more general marketing textbook would offer. Author Alan Andreason is a leading thinker on the topic of social marketing and has organized this relatively short book in a straightforward manner that makes it easy to separate the preparatory work from the actual execution of social marketing plans.

The one complaint I have about this book, and the reason that I have not awarded it five stars, is that the examples used are less than exciting and I find that I need to supplement this book with additional titles so that my students get the bigger picture of how social marketing principles play out in various cultures around the world, not just in the United States. For those who are looking to expand their understand of social marketing in the developing world and in emerging economies, see also Marketing the Public Sector by Seymour Fine. Sadly, this great book is a bit dated, as it was published in 1992, but balanced with this Andreason book (or a comparable book by Philip Kotler) you will be able to give yourself a solid grasp of the topic.

The definitive book.......2002-07-17

This is the best book to give you grounding in social marketing. It also is a handy reference that you'll go back to again and again. It's well written and very accessible.

Book Description

Marketing Strategy provides a unique introduction to marketing strategy development. Adding future studies methodology to traditional methods of environmental analysis, this book presents an effective marketing approach for dealing with the increasingly dynamic business environment. Environmental analysis is a key element of strategy development. However, methods of environmental analysis typically cover the short and medium term only. Paradoxically, the fast-changing business environment of today requires a longer planning horizon. While covering more traditional methods of environmental analysis, for example, scanning and market research, Marketing Strategy introduces future studies methodology and shows how its powerful techniques and insights can be applied to marketing planning and strategy. The first part of the book explains the different techniques of environmental analysis and long-range forecasting, and examines their relationship to marketing and strategy. The second half demonstrates their application to the marketing planning process, leading to the development of so-called robust strategies. A range of "generic" robust strategies, i.e. key marketing strategies for long-term business survival and success, such as branding and relationship management, conclude the book. As an accessible and comprehensive coverage of marketing strategy development, Marketing Strategy will be invaluable for advanced students, academics, and professionals in marketing planning and strategy, strategic marketing, and corporate strategy.

Customer Reviews:

A book, one of very few, really about long-range strategy........1998-07-03

The title of this book is misleading, it was to be called Long-Range Marketing. In fact it is about the increasingly popular subject of long-range planning and strategy - albeit that it comes at this from the marketing perspective. It's importance is that - for the first time - it describes ways of incorporating the longer-term into the planning of most companies; where previously it has been the province of the larger ones (such as Shell, who worked with the author). The new approaches can provide reasonable input in less than a day. In this way it very effectively addresses the problem of short-termism which bedevils so many organisations.

Book Description

At a time when countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) are joining the World Trade Organization, the lack of an economically sound analysis of trade policies in the region is especially notable. This volume remedies the situation by bringing together a distinguished group of applied trade economists to provide a broad view of the state of trade in and among the region's nations. The contributors provide original empirical analyses on key reform issues, and their work reflects deep knowledge of government concerns and policies.

Part 1 sets the scene by comparing the performance of the MENA region with the rest of the world on a large number variables and indicators. Part 2 contains a number of CGE model-based analyses of trade policy reform options. Part 3 focuses on specific policy areas: standards as nontariff barriers and red tape, trade facilitation, an assessment of the impact of protecting intellectual property using partial equilibrium techniques, and a review of the existing Euro-Med agreements. Part 4 discusses how the region could benefit from WTO membership and from changing the existing regional integration schemes into arrangements that help promote a growth enhancing reform agenda.

The volume will be essential reading for economists and policymakers working in and with the MENA nations, as well as officials at the multilateral and regional institutions.

Contributors are A. Halis Akder, Benita Cox, Dean De Rosa, Hana'a Kheir El Din, Sherine El Ghoneim, Oleh Havrylyshyn, Bernard Hoekman, Denise Konan, Peter Kunzel, Will Martin, Keith Maskus, Mustapha Nabli, Thomas Rutherford, Elisabet Rutstrom, David Tarr, Subidey Togan, L. Alan Winters, Alexander Yeats, and Jamel Zarrouk.

Bernard Hoekman is an Economist with the Development Research Group's Trade team of the World Bank. Jamel Zarrouk is an Economist with the Arab Monetary Fund.
