The aim of this paper is to assess the spatial impacts of universal old age pension on sustainable livelihoods of the elderly in Lesotho. It uses sustainable livelihoods framework to analyse primary data collected from field work done in an urban and a rural community to assess the differential spatial impacts of the universal old age pension on sustainable livelihoods in Lesotho. The working hypothesis of the research was that the universal old age pension provides the elderly with access to some income to use for access to basic needs for livelihoods but that this impact varies in space between rural and urban communities. The results indicate that the impacts are viewed as positive by interviewees, but slightly differ in urban and community settings. The paper concludes that in general the universal old age pension promotes equal access to income for all people above 70 years. Although the impacts of this income differ between rural and urban communities, they ensured that the elderly people were not left behind in access to livelihoods and therefore promoted inclusive development. However, there were also some challenges that need policy attention for the pension to contribute more sustainable impacts in both rural and urban areas of Lesotho. The overall conclusion was that, spatially, the impacts of the universal old age pension were felt more in the rural than urban area of the study.

According to the survey it was found that the current education system focuses more on rote learning of subjects which is leading to the poor quality of education system, but to fill the handed to professional work environment and application oriented. To build this requirement gap, freshers are to be passed through a foundation on training programmer by employees for few months before they come on the job. For long term sustainable outcome, current Indian education system is to be more application oriented. Around the world, employers, educators, policymakers, training organizations and others have recognized the critical importance of tackling the skills gap. The main key characteristics for the teaching and learning across the various fields of i.e. general, academic, vocational and technical, should incorporate various strategies, which wholly depends on learning environment, teaching methods of learners and various supporting factors. In order to increase the economy of the country and to solve the skills gap, it is very much important that higher education (Professional and Technical) should be allowed to increase access and completion, and evolve with career opportunities. These strategies are determined partly on subject matter to be taught and partly by the nature of learners developing reciprocity and cooperation. Through the research paper, researcher want to attempt to find solution in analyzing the role of higher education in bridging the skill gap and other related factors on professional institutes of Jaipur by drawing certain conclusion confronting a problem.

This research explores the relations between the two financial performance indexes of return on assets (ROA) and return on sales (ROS) using the index of corporate social responsibility (CSR), and categorizes. It also screens out 150 sample enterprises according to their different ownerships based on the CSR initiative formulated by CSR Research Center, Division of Economics, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the materials about performance of enterprises in implementing CSR during 2009-2014. The empirical results of this research show that: (1) a sound responsibility management system can help put in place the communication channels with stakeholders, properly handle disputes in managing CSR issues, and maintain long-term partnership; (2) by implementing market responsibility, enterprises can promote industrial development, advocate the idea of fair competition and system guarantee, and help the whole value chain to yield prominent and continuous benefits; (3) some private enterprises are not aware of the transition of management modes, for they hold that shouldering social responsibility is to cause increased expenditure and ultimately short-term cost expenditure, hence leading to lowering operating income; and (4) the expenditure incurred to enterprises in undertaking environment responsibility behaviors can hardly be responded to in a short term, so it is likely to cause declining financial performance.

The reform is a continuous process that changes with the development of markets, but are not seen as an application to one set of rules, as for instance administrative reform is the artificial inducement of administrative transformation against resistance that has existed ever since men conceived better ways of organizing their activities. The present study concerns the ITC services that allow people to be connected to manage their business, either commercial or personal. The problematic is a necessity to reform this sector, which is controlled by the state according to the principals of auto-organisation. The aim of this article is to highlight the necessity existence of an independent entity of arbitration, with try overcoming all barriers for this sector considered as the most important infrastructure in realising balanced (or equilibrated) development. The findings of our study is summarize in the changing is inevitable to develop the ITC sector in Arab countries, where it is characterized by monopolistic given services. Algeria is among those countries that tried to organize its sector at the beginning of this century, by providing a good law context and making it more attractive for investments.

The Korean War (1950.6.25 to 1953.7.27) originated in the transition period of the Cold War of the 20th century. This war lasted about 65 years after the Ceasefire Agreement, and it is the longest surviving war that has not ended. During this time, the memories of war are gradually being forgotten, and unfortunately the traces of the war are gradually being dismantled or extinguished. This study aims to list and classify the traces and memories of Korean War in these times—that is, the Korean War heritages remaining in South Korea—in order to conduct a survey on the people's recognition about them and to explore the values inherent in them. As a result, this study discovered a total of 413 heritages and revealed the fact that the people were aware of DMZ-related heritage, Korean Wartime Capital Busan-related heritage, Operation Chromite-related heritage, and Geoje/Tongyeong Prisoner of War (POW) Camp-related heritage as the representative Korean War Heritage. This study has an academic significance as the baseline data for a comprehensive survey on Korean War heritages in South Korea and North Korea which may be used in the era of unification in the future.

To pursue sustainable development, integration of environmental concepts and business operations has become a fundamental part of value creation strategy. Environmental management has received sustained research interest over time. Organizational green mindfulness is a way of organizational attitude during environmental management marked by preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise. The study expects that firms should keep mindfulness thinking while engaging in environmental management. The main purpose of this study is to propose a theoretical framework exploring the moderating effects of logistics service type and firm size on the reasons for keeping green mindfulness. The reasons proposed in the study include economic reason and social reason. Logistics service type and firm size would moderate the influences of economic reason and social reason on keeping green mindfulness.

The aim of this paper is to show the bargaining possibilities when there are three involved parties on a labor market and two of them are active decision-makers. The continuous conflict is between the three main bargaining power poles i.e., State; Company; Citizen. This conflict landscape is directly correlated with the development dynamical trends coming especially from the rapid rate of world urbanization: Market forces based on Instant Reflection Individual Mixed Strategies (IRIMS) between the three power poles i.e. Business, Citizen and the Community (State) shape the labor market by a continuous dynamic evolution. We will show possible solutions for increasing the benefit for all three parties. The “win-win-win papakonstantinidis model” with a 3-ple view in the labor market as the result of a continuous conflict among interests’ power poles' i.e. Business-Citizen and the Community (State) for the domination over the labor market The 3ple win involvement, able to create equilibrium point in a pay-off matrix coming from “best responses", of the three stakeholders As introduction basic statistical data from Greece and Germany will be presented and structured. After this the different behaviors of the parties in both countries will be regarded and their bargaining success will be illustrated.

Purpose- The conventional mode of teaching entrepreneurship in most of the Nigerian universities seems to not be sufficiently adequate to increase entrepreneurial action to decrease rates of graduates' unemployment. Design/methodology/ approach- Adopting primary and secondary sources of data, the article examined the influence of teaching and learning methods on perceived desirability for entrepreneurship. A total of 701 questionnaires were administered, of which 664 questionnaires were validly retrieved through combining stratified and systematic sampling techniques. The investigation yielded 94% response rate from the population groups of lecturers, postgraduate and final year students of three selected universities in Southwest Nigeria. Inferential statistics including Pearson's correlation, t-tests, and chi-square at p-value (0.05) level of significance were employed for the statistical analyses. Findings-The university-level entrepreneurship training demands cognitive and non-cognitive activities as the minimum benchmark for learning entrepreneurship. The operating curriculum predominately remains academics while performance assessments are written examinations which are mark driven. A significant positive correlation was established between the use of more theoretical learning patterns and the mind-sets for remunerative employment, as opposed desirability for entrepreneurship. Research limitations/implication- The content of information in this study limits the results of the research to the studied participants, which also limits the reach of the study to the three universities, where the study was conducted. Originality/ value- The value is a guiding framework that promotes paradigm shift from perspective highly curriculum content-based approach to a more inclusive outcome-based model, that is more of collaboration, partnership and engagement with key stakeholders in entrepreneurial development.

Economic Zone (EZ) is an economic term formed in the late 1970s of the twentieth century, originating in China under Deng Xiaoping. The first economic zone of this country is called Special Economic Zone (SEZ)-Shenzhen. The essence of EZ is a deformation of the industrial park that was first formed in 1896 in England. However, in terms of organization, functional areas within EZ are more diversified than industrial zones; in particular, the policies of the state have a higher priority, the scale of the territory is often larger. In order to organize and manage the EZ in general and in particular, Governments should rely on the criteria for establishment decision. In particular, macroenvironment such as Politics, Economy, Society, Technology (PEST) are the main factors affecting the organization and management, the latter study will refer to the division this influence.
