Book Synopsis Knowledge Development in Transnational Projects by : Verena Hachmann
Download or read book Knowledge Development in Transnational Projects written by Verena Hachmann and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-20 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transnational learning has become a buzz phrase in European policy-making and in multi-national business. Learning from the experiences of others is an idea that captivates practitioners and academics alike due to its simplicity and availability in a world that is increasingly characterised by cross-border and global connections. European regions in particular offer a diverse range of solutions to often shared challenges. This provides a knowledge base for other regions to draw on, through regional success stories, publications of ‘best practice’ and EU cooperation programmes. This books explores ‘transnational learning and knowledge transfer’ in co-operation programmes and projects. It argues that a deeper understanding of learning needs to be central to the implementation of programmes and projects in order to successfully meet their desired outcomes and goals. By characterising some of the most important preconditions of transnational learning and introducing a process perspective to learning and transfer, this book identifies barriers to learning and knowledge transfer and contributes to a stronger conceptualisation of the topic. In doing so, it opens up the ‘black-box’ of transnational learning and knowledge development, providing a better understanding of its inner mechanisms. It also provides practical recommendations for policy makers and practitioners involved both at the programme and project level of transnational EU initiatives. This book will be of interest to students, researchers, and policy makers alike working in geography, political studies, legal studies and European studies.

Book Synopsis Learning Transnational Learning by : Åge Mariussen
Download or read book Learning Transnational Learning written by Åge Mariussen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systems of innovation that are conducted within national borders can preserve inefficient solutions and prevent development. This has led to a feeling that transnational learning strategies are more and more desirable. In practice, the field of transnational learning has been dominated by various policy-making institutions, such as the OECD and European Union, working through different types of policy instruments and programs such as structural funds, open methods of coordination, as well as international research institutions and networks set up by cooperating national governments working on comparative analysis, benchmarking and indicators. This book lays out a set of methods which can further enhance the experience of transnational learning, starting from the sociological ideas promoted by Charles Sabel of learning through monitoring, and by Marie Laure Djelic and others of the “translation” of experiences between different countries. Case studies and examples are collected from three fields: industrial development, tourism and local government.
Download or read book APPEAR II written by Andreas J. Obrecht and published by StudienVerlag. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an ambitious undertaking – a research documentation that describes a wide variety of approaches to knowledge production relevant to development policy, and illustrates the diverse possibilities of transdisciplinary development research within 25 projects in 15 countries. The editor encouraged the 105 authors – 46 female, 59 male – to investigate questions, problems and dimensions of knowledge production that are usually not addressed in research and project reports. Project planning, no matter how successful, can only partially anticipate the social reality of implementing a project. Flexibility, creativity and improvisation are indispensable prerequisites for successful project implementation in often difficult research conditions. Thus, this book is not only a documentation of the second phase of the Austrian Partnership Programme in Higher Education and Research for Development – APPEAR – but also a discursive contribution on practical approaches to transdisciplinary and transcultural knowledge production.
Book Synopsis International Knowledge Transfer and Development Projects by : Heidi Tanhuva
Download or read book International Knowledge Transfer and Development Projects written by Heidi Tanhuva and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge is the source of competitive advantage to regions, countries and organizations. It has also become an important part of the development cooperation because it is the key element for development. After all, most of the problems that developing countries face are results from insufficient knowledge. The purpose of this study is to describe the process of international knowledge transfer through development projects by studying a Finnish funded Community Health Education Program in Egypt.To provide full understanding of the topic following sub-objectives are needed to be analyzed: what type of knowledge is transferred through development projects, how the knowledge is transferred and how knowledge recipients adopt and learn new knowledge and what is the influence of the culture in knowledge transfer process.However, as in every development project, it is worth remembering that every country is its own unit and some best practices that have worked well in Egypt may not work in the same way when transferred to other developing countries.

Book Synopsis Evaluating Impact of Knowledge Capture and Sharing on the Project Planning. Case: NGO by : Sujata Rane
Download or read book Evaluating Impact of Knowledge Capture and Sharing on the Project Planning. Case: NGO written by Sujata Rane and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B+, University of Leicester, course: MBA Information management, language: English, abstract: The objective of the research is to find if there is any impact of knowledge capture and sharing on the project planning at Practical Action (Kenya). Knowledge capture and sharing are two important components of knowledge management. Knowledge management has many definitions and some of these are listed in the appendix. Knowledge capture is one of the elements of knowledge management where the knowledge from the organization or from outside the organization is encapsulated in processes, tools or within the organizational resources to make it available to the rest of the organization. The knowledge sharing can happen when knowledge is captured successfully. Knowledge sharing is used to make sure that encapsulated knowledge is made available, shared, circulated or dispersed to be available at the right time to the right people. However, the attention deserved by knowledge capture and sharing in the development organizations is quite less. There are multiple reasons for this phenomenon. The one of the prominent reason is that ‘knowledge’ is not visible. Its intangible, it cannot be directly observed therefore, many organizations do not accept the importance of knowledge easily. The research subject has originated from the fact that knowledge capture and sharing has strong theoretical presence however, practical implications of it and swiftness in organizational decisions making regarding knowledge management lack noticeably. Project management is more adapted science. Whereas, knowledge management is more spoken, written than practiced. Therefore, in the author’s view it will be useful to find a relationship of knowledge management with established discipline such as project management. Project management is undoubtedly backed by the literature and most importantly accomplished in the actual project implementations all over the world. However, both the sciences are vast, and one thesis will not justify the inter-relation between the two streams. Therefore, to have a definite focus to study this research is trying to find if there is any impact of knowledge capture and sharing on project planning (at Practical action, Kenya). Practical action executes development projects. These are more complex and unpredictable at times as the actual executors of the projects are changing. For example, a project of ‘water irrigation’ will be consulted by the Practical Action consultant although is actually executed by the local farmer.

Book Synopsis A New World of Knowledge by : International Development Research Centre (Canada)
Download or read book A New World of Knowledge written by International Development Research Centre (Canada) and published by IDRC. This book was released on 1999 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In communications, health care, and economics, events, discoveries, and decisions that originate beyond national borders today routinely influence national policies and practices. But how are our system of education, and particularly our universities, affected by globalization? A New World of Knowledge examines how globalization has obliged universities in Canada to reassess and rethink the international dimension of their mission and practice. All now include an international dimension in their mission statement. Is this a true statement of educational principles? Or is it simply a marketing message intended to position the university to cope with budget reductions through the sale of educational services? A New World of Knowledge looks at the important role that Canadian universities have played in shaping Canada's response to the problems of international development. It provides the historical backdrop and level of analysis needed to properly inform choices for the future of higher education in Canada and abroad. The book will interest teachers and administrators in institutions of higher education, especially in international affairs and educational studies; practitioners in organizations that depend on university linkages (such as in NGOs and research-granting organizations); government officials in the education sector; and students looking for an international education.
Book Synopsis Universities as Engines of Economic Development by : Edward Crawley
Download or read book Universities as Engines of Economic Development written by Edward Crawley and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes patterns of behavior that collectively allow universities to exchange knowledge more effectively with industry, accelerate innovation and eventually contribute to economic development. These are based on the effective practices of leading and ambitious universities around the world that the authors have benchmarked, and the personal experiences of the authors in a number of international institution building projects, including those of MIT. The authors provide guidance that is globally applicable, but must be locally adapted. The approach is first to describe the context in which universities act as engines of economic development, and then present a set of effective practices in four domains: education, research, innovation, and supporting practices. Each of these domains has three to six practices, and each practice is presented in a similar template, with an abstract, a rationale and description, key actions and one or two mini-case studies. The practices are summarized by integrative case studies. The book: Focuses on a globally adaptable set of effective practices, complemented by case studies, that can enhance universities’ contribution to economic development, based on an integrated view of education, research and innovation; Presents effective practices and broader insights that come from real global experience, spelled out in templates and explained by cases; Includes tangible resources for university leaders, policy makers and funders on how to proceed.
Book Synopsis Guide to Transnational Cooperation in the Field of Distance Training by : European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training
Download or read book Guide to Transnational Cooperation in the Field of Distance Training written by European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide was developed to help administrators develop transnational distance education programs. It is organized in the order in which a cooperative project develops, using a question-and-answer format. The first seven chapters of the guide are structured to reflect the successive phases of a project: (1) Why should transnational cooperation be set up? (2) how to find the right partners; (3) how to define and agree on a working program; (4) how to define and agree on a financial plan; (5) how to obtain support for a project; (6) how to administer a cooperation project; and (7) how to use the results of cooperation. The eighth chapter contains a brief description of a few typical cases of transnational cooperation; for its examples, it refers to and quotes from the first seven chapters. The ninth chapter is a summary of some of the programs being promoted by the Commission of the European Communities, and the 10th chapter contains useful background on information sources. (KC)
