Sustainable Development
The concept of sustainable development refers to doing what is necessary to try and guarantee that future generations will also be able to satisfy their needs. Taking this idea as a reference, the different areas of public administration, the business world and society as a whole are trying to spread the idea of respect for our natural resources as widely as possible. This book analyses the importance of sustainable development in optimising our future, discussing and proposing new paradigms, procedures and techniques addressed on the one hand to improving lifestyles, well-being or quality of life, and sustainable business practices, among other things, and on the other to preserving natural resources and ecosystems.
La acción tutorial desde la perspectiva de los alumnos
La dependencia es un eslabón más de la cadena que comienza con los grandes síndromes geriátricos (inmovilidad, inestabilidad, incontinencia y deterioro cognitivo) que, de no ser diagnosticados y atajados a tiempo, evolucionan inevitablemente hacia la fragilidad, dependencia y muerte. El síndrome de dependencia ha de ser abordado por equipos multidisciplinares, que en el caso de los mayores deben ser geriátricos. Las disciplinas implicadas deben ser: medicina, enfermería, terapia ocupacional, fisioterapia, trabajo social, psicología, así como otros profesionales familiarizados con el manejo del paciente geriátrico. El objetivo de este volumen sobre Dependencia en Geriatría es desenmarañar la confusión existente en las personas no familiarizadas con la geriatría, acerca de la dependencia, orientada en su vertiente social (prevención, la dependencia en el medio comunitario, atención en el domicilio del anciano dependiente, Ley de dependencia, etc.).
Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cities
Baltimore, like many other cities around the globe, is redesigning local government policy and programs in order to become a more sustainable city. Sustainability, as a concept guiding public action, encourages city officials to integrate policy and programs addressing the economic, environmental, and social health of the community. City governments, including Baltimore, have adopted plans to integrate this new priority into local policy and program management. Reorienting city policy and programs to address an emergent concern like sustainability requires collaboration between city government and various actors and organizations in the community. Collaborative Strategies for Sustainable Cit...

Financial Sustainability in Public Administration
This book analyses the methods used to assess financial sustainability as defined by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Recently, there have been calls to consider sustainability as a fundamental guiding principle in public management. The financial and economic crisis has spurred a demand for greater financial sustainability in public administrations. Although the concept of sustainability has been traditionally associated with three dimensions (environmental, social and economic), this book is focuses on the metrics used to evaluate financial sustainability and explores the concept of financial health. It will be of interest to researchers and academics in the field of financial sustainability.

Entrepreneurship and SME Management Across Africa
This book focuses on issues related to entrepreneurship and SME management on the African continent by providing insights from different conceptual, empirical and case studies. In doing so, it focuses on context-specific challenges for conducting entrepreneurial activities or business endeavors in smaller firms in the African continent.

In addition to serving as a source book for more in-depth studies by assisting the reader in gaining increased understanding of the topics covered, complementing the different parts with reviews, the book also elaborates on issues such political unrest, corruption, untrained personnel and environmental concerns. Entrepreneurship and SME Management Across Africa: Context, Challenges, Cases will be useful to academics with an interest in different entrepreneurial contexts in general, and Africa in particular, and for students interested in regional business practices, as well as for practitioners and policy makers.
Benchmarking Infrastructure Using Public Investment Efficiency Frontiers
With limited financing options, increasing investment efficiency will be a critical avenue to building infrastructure for many countries, particularly in the context of post-pandemic recovery and rising debt emanating from higher energy costs and other pressures. Estimating investment efficiency, however, presents many methodological pitfalls. Using various methods—–stochastic frontier analysis, data envelopment analysis (DEA), and bootstrapped DEA—this paper estimates efficiency scores for a wide range of countries employing metrics of infrastructure quantity and utilization. We find that efficiency scores are relatively robust across methodologies and data used. A considerable efficiency gap exists: Removing all inefficiencies could increase infrastructure output by 55 percent overall, when averaging across 12 estimation approaches—in particular, by 45 percent for advanced economies, 54 percent for emerging countries, and 65 percent for low income countries. Infrastructure output would increase by a still-sizeable 30 percent if instead of eliminating all efficiency, countries achieved the efficiency level of their income group’s 90th percentile.
