Este livro surgiu a partir de material coletado em um concurso literário, desenvolvido por nós, da Toma Aí Um Poema, através da proposta minimalista. Nós solicitamos que os autores enviassem poemas minimalistas, referindo-se às questões da estética do movimento e não à poética do minimalismo. Portanto, a seleção deveria partir do ponto de que a poesia minimalista se apoia na economia de palavras e classes gramaticais, por meio de uma organização sintática enxuta, composta pelo mínimo possível de sintagmas; mas que, ao recorrer ao mínimo, revela com elegância e impacto la crème de la crème de la poésie contemporaine. Contudo, não foi isso o que aconteceu exatamente. O ...

Cultural and spiritual bonds with ‘nature’ are among the strongest motivators for nature conservation; yet they are seldom taken into account in the governance and management of protected and conserved areas.

Since protected area management and governance have traditionally been based on scientific research, a combination of science and spirituality can engage and em...

Recent growth accelerations in Africa are characterized by increasing productivity in agriculture, a declining share of the labor force employed in agriculture and declining productivity in modern sectors such as manufacturing. To shed light on this puzzle, we disaggregate firms in the manufacturing sector by size using two newly created panels of manufacturing firms, one for Tanzania covering 2008-2016 and one for Ethiopia covering 1996-2017. Our analysis reveals a dichotomy between larger firms that exhibit superior productivity performance but do not expand employment much, and small firms that absorb employment but do not experience any productivity growth. We suggest the poor employment performance of large firms is related to use of capital-intensive techniques associated with global trends in technology.

This book makes an important contribution to business, economic growth, and information and communication technologies led technical change literature. Evidence based on primary survey of firms, comes from firms located in three Continents, namely; Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Using advanced statistical and econometric techniques, the studies presented in the book have been able to capture the factors that are impediments in the adoption of new technologies. Findings presented in the book conclude that institutional support is necessary factor for small firms to remain competitive in the era of globalization. Case studies presented in the book suggest that entrepreneurship coupled with enabling technological and institutional environment can make small firms globally competitive. Cohesion of policies has been found essential for sustainability of growth and survival of small firms. We also conclude that degree of effectiveness of same policy instruments is not uniform across countries. Hence countries need to evolve their own country-specific policies for small firms so that they can survive in the globally integrated world.
