Book Synopsis Challenges in Implementing Best Practices in Involuntary Resettlement by : Jayantha Perera
Download or read book Challenges in Implementing Best Practices in Involuntary Resettlement written by Jayantha Perera and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2016-12-01 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure projects sometimes physically displace households and disrupt income sources and livelihoods. The Asian Development Bank offers several good governance practices to its borrowers to minimize such adverse impacts, especially since the absorption of such best practices by countries is usually slow and erratic. This publication presents an in-depth case study from a complex and sensitive infrastructure project in Sri Lanka, where international best practices in involuntary resettlement were successfully merged with local legal systems. The publication demonstrates that the application of best practices to infrastructure projects needs continuous consultations with affected people and a firm commitment of resources.

Book Synopsis Promoting University-Industry Collaboration in Sri Lanka by : Kurt Larsen
Download or read book Promoting University-Industry Collaboration in Sri Lanka written by Kurt Larsen and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strong science, technology, and innovation links between universities and industry are of critical importance to Sri Lanka as it strives to become an upper-middle-income country. This report presents an overview of current U-I collaboration in Sri Lanka by analyzing responses to a survey of companies and university departments in 2015. Data from the 2015 survey are compared with data from a similar survey in 2007 to identify trends over time. The study examines current policies to promote U-I collaboration in Sri Lanka, highlights some good practices in other countries, and suggests possible ways that Sri Lanka may be able to strengthen U-I collaboration. The report is intended primarily for policy makers in the fields of higher education, research, and innovation, as well as for researchers in companies, universities, and research institutes who are already collaborating in public-private partnerships or are planning to do so. The responses show that the majority of existing links between Sri Lankan universities and companies are short-term, informal interactions with low direct transfer of knowledge and innovation. However, the survey findings also show a growing emphasis on deeper and more demanding types of collaboration, such as joint Research and Development activities, prototype testing, and spin-offs, even though these remain relatively uncommon. Key recommendations to strengthen U-I collaboration are: • As part of the national Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy 2016†“2020, develop and implement a national plan to upgrade the country’s research infrastructure, in line with national research and innovation priorities. • Strengthen Research and Development funding schemes for joint projects between universities/research institutes and companies, based on national and international experiences. • Define and implement clear intellectual property rights rules for publicly funded research to encourage the use of research results and ensure effective and timely legal protection of intellectual property. • Establish open innovation spaces and business incubators at universities and make available seed money for faculty and students to develop start-ups. • Strengthen the U-I interaction cells at universities with professional expertise in technology transfer and business model development. • Establish opportunities for master’s and PhD students to pursue targeted research projects in companies as part of their study.
Book Synopsis Case Studies in Economic Survival: Experiences from Sri Lanka by : Sumudu Senani Perera
Download or read book Case Studies in Economic Survival: Experiences from Sri Lanka written by Sumudu Senani Perera and published by . This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 'Case Studies in Economic Survival: Experiences from Sri Lanka' is the product of the Business Forum, one of the main events featuring under the 19th International Conference on Business Management (ICBM) - 2022 organized by the Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce (FMSC) of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka. The purpose of publishing Case Studies in this nature is to help people learn the body of knowledge we call management and then apply it to their business organizations. The book is arranged in a logical sequence of case studies that continually builds on and connects with the chosen theoretical perspectives. This book also creates a platform to a meaningful partnership between the academia and the industry to support the growth of the next generation of businesses and their leaders. It has been kept to a reasonable length with seven stories of different organizations that have been connected into a cohesive body of knowledge. These stories typically provide wide-ranging evidence about the business situations in question, the problems encountered in the pandemic, how they were approached, and to what results. The ICBM 2022 in the University of Sri Jayewardenepura in Sri Lanka makes history by launching this case study book exposing resilient organizations in Sri Lanka that surmounted challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consistent with the pertinent theme of the ICBM 2022 conference, "Equitable Recovery Amidst Economic Crisis: Post-Pandemic Challenges and the Way Forward", we initiated writing of the 'Case Studies in Economic Survival: Experiences from Sri Lanka' as a collaborative endeavor by the academia and the industry. These meticulously and scholastically developed case studies fill the gap hitherto left by the dearth of case studies carried out in the Sri Lankan context. Professionals in different fields may use case studies as part of their research into various issues of interest for their organizations.

Book Synopsis Sovereignty, Space and Civil War in Sri Lanka by : Anoma Pieris
Download or read book Sovereignty, Space and Civil War in Sri Lanka written by Anoma Pieris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyses of the Sri Lankan civil war (1983–2009) overwhelmingly represent it as an ethnonationalist contest, prolonging postcolonial arguments on the creation and dissolution of the incipient nation-state since independence in 1948. While colonial divide-and-rule policies, the rise of ethnonationalist lobbies, structural discrimination and majoritarian democracy have been established as grounds for inter-ethnic hostility, there are other significant transformative forces that remain largely unacknowledged in postcolonial analyses. This ambitious multiscalar spatial study of civil war in Sri Lanka offers an intersectional, de-ethnicised analysis of political sovereignty drawn out by the struggle for territory. Based on vital retrospective findings from the five-year postwar period, when wartime hostilities were still festering, it convincingly links ethnonationalism to postnational border politics, marketisation, militarised securitisation and illiberal democracy. This book argues that internecine conflict exposes the implicit violence within nation-state formations; mass human displacements heighten collective and individual ontological insecurity and neoliberalism makes the nation porous in unforeseen ways. Based around three themes – normative spaces, human mobilities and exilic states – it is organised into ten comprehensive, chapter-based explorations of a range of spatial units, including homes, cities, routes, camps and experiences of ruin that were irrevocably politicised by protracted conflict. Focusing on their material transformations over a thirty-seven-year period, the book explores what can be known of the war if we look beyond ethnicity to other salient, shared geographical features of this embattled history. The book uncovers how fealty to exclusionary cultures of political sovereignty aligns us with their violence, limiting our capacity for empathy, a boundary seemingly exacerbated by neoliberal opportunities. Making use of Sri Lanka as a case study to test geographic, architectural and urban methodologies for understanding violence, this book acts as a provocation to rethink current readings of the particular case study while reflecting on the more general impact of marketisation and militarisation in Asia. It will be of interest to an interdisciplinary audience, including those scholars interested in South Asian history, politics and civil war, South Asian studies, border studies, geography and architecture and urban studies.
Book Synopsis Socially Responsible Consumption and Marketing in Practice by : Jishnu Bhattacharyya
Download or read book Socially Responsible Consumption and Marketing in Practice written by Jishnu Bhattacharyya and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides an overview of socially responsible consumption and marketing, as well as a collection of teaching cases that discuss and emphasize how 21st-century organizations, both for-profit and non-profit, are addressing socially responsible consumers and meeting their changing needs while remaining profitable. Consumers, governments, academics, and practitioners are becoming more interested in promoting positive social changes through consumption. As a result, this book aims to understand the practice of marketing in bringing about positive social change through real-life case studies. Consumption by socially responsible consumers who care about the social good is unique, not only because of its inter-disciplinary and substantive subject matter but also because it presents challenges and pushes organizations to make significant changes in the ways they have been accomplishing organizational activities in the twenty-first century, from procurement to production to sales and services. The book goes beyond individual consumers and their lifestyles to promote the scope of discussing marketing strategies. It seeks to comprehend how people consume and how socially responsible consumption is conceived. The case studies present and pursue integrated solutions for more sustainable consumption. This is a must-read for marketers who want to reach out to socially responsible consumers.

Book Synopsis Crisis in Sri Lanka and the World by : Asoka Bandarage
Download or read book Crisis in Sri Lanka and the World written by Asoka Bandarage and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-05-22 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad picture of Sri Lanka’s on-going political and economic crisis as the culmination of several centuries of colonial and neo-colonial developments. The book presents the Sri Lankan crisis as an exemplification of a broader global existential crisis facing more and more debt trapped countries, especially in the post-colonial Global South. The book's in-depth case study raises important questions pertaining to sovereignty and political and economic democracy in Sri Lanka and the world at large. The book also explores the emergence of the crisis in the context of the accelerating geopolitical conflict between China and the USA in the Indian Ocean. It ponders if the debt crisis, economic collapse and political destabilization in Sri Lanka were intentionally precipitated to the advantage of the Quadrilateral Alliance (USA, India, Australia and Japan). Moving beyond geopolitical rivalry, the book juxtaposes Sri Lanka’s political-economic crisis with the broader ecological crisis of climate change and sea-level rise. The book concludes with a consideration of the ethical dilemmas behind the debt and survival crisis in Sri Lanka and across the world. It points out a range of social movements and initiatives in Sri Lanka and the Global South which subscribe to collective and ecological alternatives and a Middle Path of sustainability and social justice.
