Neuware -Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) reporting is similar in traditional financial accounting in the sense that it gives an account of the doings of a company over a given period of time, traditionally a year. This report is usually available to the general public, however, it differs from traditional financial accounting in that even a publicly listed company is not obligated to produce such a report. Currently, CSR reporting is still based on voluntary service. This research has been conducted due to the rising importance ¿ or trend ¿ of Corporate Social Reporting in order to assess how to properly report a company's doings in order to produce the maximum value for both the company and its stakeholders. As a result of the research, the thesis comes to the conclusion that there is not a single way to properly report CSR, but rather a multitude of different ways in which companies can properly report such, and, thus, both create value for their stakeholders, and the company itself. As a conclusion, the paper explains that reporting depends on many different factors, such as time, strategy, audience, industry, etc.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -This book investigates the role of women in the management of water resources in Western Kenya and explores the roles and responsibilities of rural women in the use, management and conservation of water resources. It aims to determine the extent to which women have been empowered to participate in the management of the water resources, and examines the obstacles that stand in their way and prevent them from seizing the opportunities in the management and conservation of water. Kenya is endowed with resources, but economic and cultural structures are ill-equipped to meet the needs of the poor, particularly women and much effort has concentrated on the traditional and changing roles of women in other areas. Sustainable development demands recognition of ways in which women¿s lives intertwine with environmental realities. This book will create awareness and hopefully influence future laws and policies to incorporate women in decision-making, because women who lack rights to own and manage natural resources often lack rights in other aspects of life. Land ownership is a precondition to water rights, and women¿s access to water is limited because they do not own land.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Growing demand for water services in Kenya's urban slums has for long been addressed through various interventions by NGOs, CBOs and informal small-scale water vendors. With the water sector reforms in Kenya, there is now emphasis on strengthening the pro-poor focus of the sector. With this, institutions have been established to formalize water services: licensed water service providers (WSPs) in large towns; a national WSP regulator namely the Water Services Regulatory Board; and a WSP pro-poor financier namely the Water Services Trust Fund. This study assesses the influence of formalized water provision on the quality of life of urban slum dwellers. It explores the perceived impacts of an operational pilot water project implemented in 2009 by Nairobi Water and Sewerage Company in Kosovo village of Mathare slum, with funding from the Water Services Trust Fund. Variables under review in the study are affordability of water, access to water, quality of water and the water utility's pro-poor focus in water provision. The research findings could act as benchmark to guide the formalization of water services by licensed water utilities in similar urban informal settlements of Kenya.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 104 pp. Englisch.

Researchers indicate that Human Resource Management (HRM) is the most important determinant of organizational success (Schuler, 1992). The growing importance of human resources for organizational success has led to an increasing interest in making personnel management a more integral, strategy-driven activity in organizations. Thus, the most successful companies focus on strategic implementation of human resources practices linked with overall organizational strategy, goals and objectives. This study examines whether SHRM is applied in Azerbaijan. To investigate this study qualitative method of data collection was used to generate the data required to achieve the objectives of the study.

This is against the use of rubbish pit outside compound, rubbish pit inside compound and other. Estimation results of a MNL suggest that household choices of these practices are determined by a certain combination of factors such as age, education and occupation of the household head, distance to the main road, home ownership, proportions of females and family members above 45 years, expenditure per adult equivalent and municipality location.

The center here is meant the political, commercial and legal inhibitions posed by government as well as commercial interests of proprietors and the ruling elite. Kenya has gone through very significant political changes from the monolithic one party state to a multi party system. The role of the media under a monolithic one party system and under the multi party system has been confusing. The growth of the sector and its diversity is seen as seriously compromised by the political controls and the state and party ownership of various critical channels of communication. These kinds of political interferences and control have tended to reduce the effective functional roles of the media as a watchdog on behalf of the majority who do not belong to the ruling elite.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.

Skilling v.US revealed that a change of venue based on a claim of a tainted jury pool presents a difficult, if not impossible task, for criminal defendants. Padilla expanded the Sixth Amendment in determining that deportation is a unique consequence because of the substantial impact on the lives of non-citizens. Holland determined that the time limitations imposed by Congress are subject to equitable tolling.

Neuware -One of the main objectives of the WTO dispute settlement system is to provide security and predictability to the multilateral trading system; however this objective is being threatened by the inadequacies of the remedies that currently exist in the system.This research aims to contribute to the improvement of the WTO dispute settlement system remedies by proposing that the inadequacies found in the remedies be dealt with by introducing monetary compensation as a remedy.What makes this paper different from other proposals for monetary compensation in the WTO is that the monetary compensation is being proposed as a primary remedy putting it on an equal footing with a recommendation, furthermore the paper argues that even though the DSU does not explicitly provide for monetary compensation, this remedy is already available to WTO members by virtue of the general public international law remedy of reparation.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 72 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -Results-Based Management is one of the emerging frontiers of Public Administration pushing and prodding governments to demonstrate results of their actions. The success story of the system in developed countries, coupled by pressure from stakeholders and the everpresent need for donor support has persuaded governments in developing countries to adopt it. Zimbabwe is amongst some of the African countries who adopted the system in 2003 with its intoduction coming as a ray of hope for the general populace. The author questions the ability of public sector institutions in developing countries to cope with the demands of the complicated but highly rewarding RBM system. It goes without saying that the system is an indispensable tool for effective public sector management. The challenge however is that the transition from traditional implementation-focused practices to results-Based management systems is like a bumpy road which calls for tinkerers, scrongers and masters of the extemporaneous.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

However, a gap has been found between the consumer¿s intention and the actual purchase when it comes to products that there is a social pressure to buy for environmental reasons. The segment for the socially desirable products is estimated to have potential, but so far growth seems to be slow. It has been stated that until now, there is not enough research done that takes a holistic perspective including several fields of marketing.There is a need to review and combine existing literature in various fields of marketing to investigate how the gap can be decreased and the sales increased. The purpose of this thesis is to review and combine existing literature in the fields of consumer value creation, decision-making and in-store marketing. By doing so, the authors aim to present a theoretical model on how producers of socially desirable FMCG can decrease the gap between the consumers¿ intention and the actual purchase through marketing. Based on the extensive literature review, the authors developed ten propositions that formed a model which that can be used as the backbone for future theoretical and empirical research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Neuware -The issues of poor financial and administrative records management systems in the sub-counties of Sub Saharan Africa, despite the initiatives to improve upon them, have been of great concern to many Local Governments. This has given rise to a critical question: Could the failings be systemic and corporate because the Records Managers seem to be unaware of the scale and nature of the problems From the field experiences from both users and managers of the records management systems; the financial and administrative records are available at sub-counties, users know very well the role of records management in service delivery and how records can be used to harmonise service provision.

Neuware -Despite the efforts and strategies geared towards women in realizing property rights in terms of empowerment, participation and decision making in the global context today many African societies are still characterized by social economic and political inequalities between men and women. This situation is worse on land rights in rural areas where culture is being regarded as a daily routine that provide the basis and ways in which this right is given to particularly on gender basis even if these ways are oppressive and discriminative. This study focuses on women and land ownership rights. An attempt has been made to examine the contexts in which the state laws and policies give women rights to own land. With a special use of Rights based Approaches theory and some feminist perspective, the study has articulated some reasons as to why women land rights are not fully realized at a village and clan level in Kilimanjaro region with a focus on Moshi Rural in Tanzania. A qualitative research methodology was the main tool for generating research materials during the research process.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 120 pp. Englisch.

Depicting the contextual realities of Bangladesh as a case example, this qualitative research exploits a livelihood approach and aims to contribute to the development informatics community literature. The key findings reveal that ICTs can play a very marginal role in access to health information due to the vulnerability and limited information resources of the poor. It also informs that most health related ICT initiatives are supply-driven and led by ¿technological determinism¿ which widens the gaps in the digital divide. The study suggests more emphasis on ¿information¿ than ¿technology¿. It argues that soft issues gathered from the livelihoods of the poor may create an ¿information systems plus¿ atmosphere where ¿plus¿ will enable poor-focused healthcare reforms, business process reengineering and human resource development. The research concludes that for implementing e-health as digital strategy for non-digital people in Bangladesh, an integrated, visionary and demand-driven ICT approach is more crucial than plucking any low-ranging fruits.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.
