...Local Transport Plans: Case Study 2:1:b DEVELOPING A LOCAL GOVERNMENT TRANSPORT MASTERPLAN: CASE STUDY J. Lebo, World Bank (1999) Objectives of the case study National or state rural planning processes are often “top down”, technically sophisticated and, hence not geared to participation from local communities, those most affected. Involvement of local government is increasingly seen as being important to rural transport planning and engaging them in this process requires a balancing of the technical requirements of the process with local objectives and capacities. A Rural Transport infrastructure (RTI) planning process must be transparent and easily understood by local government planners who may have little grasp of the underpinning economics. The objective of this case study is to describe the development of a Local Government Transport Masterplan (LGTMP). 1. AN APPROACH TO LOCAL GOVERNMENT INVESTMENT PLANNING In most developing countries, decentralization has meant that local governments are increasingly made fully responsible for the provision of local services, including health, education, as well as local roads. Concurrently, national or state road planning processes are often "top-down" and technically sophisticated, as well as ignoring the potential for local governments and communities to participate. The involvement of local governments, however, has been shown to be a critical element to the success of the RTI planning process. In practice, however, most local governments...

Course Description This course will focus on the strategy and tactics needed for success in the international business environment. Strategic analysis will include the study of the economic, social, political, technological, and environmental settings of international business via text readings and case studies. Tactics will include completing a country-focused Political-Economic-Social-Technological (PEST) analysis and a company-focused Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis.

...Required Case and Reading Packet link: https://cb.hbsp.harvard.edu/cbmp/access/32240148 BSEO 2531 is to be a different experience for our MBA students. Most of your previous student experience has been focused on models and techniques that are typically applied in large organizations. BSEO 2531 will focus on a different aspect of the business environment--entrepreneurship. Consequently, this course will be structured differently than most other courses. Part of the course will involve the use of conventional case analysis, discussions and lectures. In addition, there will be guest speakers, time permitting. There are multiple objectives for the Entrepreneurship elective, including: 1. Understanding the process of New Venture Formulation 2. Studying the characteristics of successful entrepreneurs 3. Process and structure of business plan development 4. Understanding sources and methods of financing new business ventures 5. Opportunities to apply functional skill (marketing, finance, accounting, etc.) 6. Networking in the Pittsburgh entrepreneurial community The focus of the class will be the development of a business plan for a new venture; the final plan should be suitable for presentation to a venture capitalist or other initial funding source. The business plan will be a group project. By the end of the second class you will have formed venture teams. Four to six members seem to be the optimal group size. The plans will...

The article said that SystemX feared that SoftGuide’s data-processing system was inadequate to handle the new products planned for the SoftGuide sales staff. SystemX officials were also concerned about the 30 percent annual turnover among sales personnel… Tabrez A., SoftGuide CEO, responded that the SoftGuide’s data-processing was quite competent and has absorbed at least one new product a month for two years.” Questions: a.

...including Eurocode 8, recognise the importance of the torsional stiffness on the seismic response and include such information in its static torsional provisions. Eurocode 8 states that the static torsional provisions can be applied to torsionally unbalanced buildings with regularity in elevation that satisfies the set of conditions presented in the Annex B of the Code. Present paper shows an overview on the EC8 torsional provisions including the code background and the comparison with other codes (UBC, etc.). On the other side the EC8 provisions could be improved during the revision process. In fact recent studies on the static torsional provisions of Eurocode 8 show that the static torsional provisions generally are satisfactory in order to limit additional demands when the building has a large torsional stiffness, but the provision seems to be deficient when applied to torsional flexible models. Moreover, the behaviour of buildings designed in High Class of ductility (“HD”) is more complex. This paper compares most of the results existing in the literature, suggests proposals of modification and underlines the importance of further studies in order to evaluate a condition of minimum torsional stiffness. INTRODUCTION The observations of buildings subjected to strong earthquakes showed that the excessive torsional response is one of the most important factors, which produces severe damage for the structures, even the collapse. The excessive torsional response is...
