The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

First published in 1984. In these essays Stanley Please contends that the World Bank is constrained in its ability to use its position and . power in the interests of more rapid development of the poorer countries of the world. These constraints derive in large part from the legal restriction on the Bank to engage primarily in project lending and from the division of responsibility between the ·Bank and its sister institution the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Although the Bank's financing of projects and investment programs has made a significant contribution Mr. Please argues that greater Bank involvement in national policy formation can greatly benefit economic development. He looks at ways to increase cooperation between the Bank and the IMF examines the policy work the Bank has done in the past and assesses the capacity of the Bank for policy formation evaluates the need for it to do more such work and discusses the likely responses of developing and developed countries to these changes | The Hobbled Giant Essays On The World Bank

A Handbook for Training Strategy

A Handbook for Training Strategy

When the first edition of Martyn Sloman’s Handbook appeared it made an immediate impact on the HRD community. Its starting point was the idea that traditional approaches to training in the organization were no longer effective. The Handbook introduced a new model and set out the practical implications. The world of HRD has moved on and Martyn Sloman has now drastically revised the text to reflect the increased complexity of organizational life and the many recent developments in the field. His aim remains the same: to help readers to develop a framework in which training can be effectively managed and delivered. In Part I of the text the author draws attention to the opportunities created for training by the current emphasis on competition through people. In Part II he poses the question: ’What should training managers be doing to ensure that training in their organization is as good as it can be?’ Here he stresses the need to keep training aligned with business objectives and to encourage line managers to work alongside the human resource professionals. The third and final Part considers the trainer as a strategic facilitator and examines the skills required. Martyn Sloman writes as an experienced training manager and his book is concerned above all with implementation. Thus the text is supported by questionnaires survey instruments and specimen documents. With its combination of thought-provoking argument and practical guidance the Handbook will continue to serve all those with an interest in organizational training. | A Handbook for Training Strategy

Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments

Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments

The advent of augmented reality technologies used to assist human operators in complex manipulative operations—has brought an urgency to research into the modeling and training of human skills in Virtual Environments. However modeling a specific act still represents a challenge in cognitive science. The same applies for the control of humanoid robots and the replication of skilled behavior of avatars in Virtual Environments. Skill Training in Multimodal Virtual Environments presents the scientific background research outcomes engineering developments and evaluation studies conducted during the five years (2006-2011) of the project SKILLS–Multimodal Interfaces for Capturing and Transfer of Skill funded by the European Commission under its 6th Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development. The SKILLS project evaluated how to exploit robotics and virtual environment technologies for the training of specific skills. This book details the novel approach used in the study to cope with skill acquisition setting aside the mainstream assumptions of common computer-assisted training simulators. It explores how the SKILLS approach generated new training scenarios that allow users to practice new experiences in the performance of the devised task. Using a carefully designed approach that balances science with practicality the book explores how virtual and augmented reality systems can be designed to address the skill transfer and training in different application contexts. The application of the same roadmap to skills originating from domains such as sports rehabilitation industrial environment and surgery sets this book apart. It demonstrates how technology-oriented training conditions can yield better results than more traditional training conditions.
