Natural resource conflicts between corporations and local communities were quite common in Indonesia. In an area in Pandeglang-Banten, a giant corporation tried to control the natural resources, especially in this case is water resource, and the local religious based community fought against the corporation’s agenda. This paper describes the formation of a religious-based community doing social movement against a big corporation in Pandeglang, Banten Indonesia.

This paper shows that the social movement succeeded to defend their accesses to water resources through religious doctrine easily understood by local people under the leadership by the local religious leaders (Kyai) from local Islamic schools (Pesantren). They share collective identity, as victims of the company project and also a moslem. The collective identity as victims as well as moslems, linked by dense religious informal networks and corporation and local government as clear enemy made their movement successfully terminated the company project. As a main actor, Kyai played significant roles to mobilize people in this social movement. Using her charismatic character, Kyai was able to defeat legal-rational leadership such as local government and security forces.

the 13th century. Since that time, the life of the university and the town have been closely intertwined. The appearance of the university within the town community, of course, made its own adjustments to the life of Cambridge, including the functioning of the local administration, its structure. In this research, we examined the problem of the formation and development of the structure of municipal authority in medieval Cambridge, revealed the features of the local administration. Our study showed that by the late 15th century, the town had a fairly ramifi ed system of municipal self-government. At the head of the corporation was the mayor, there was a collegial deliberative body – the Council of the 24. There were treasurers, bailiffs, a coroner and a recorder. This enabled the town to independently resolve issues of a socioeconomic, control and administrative nature. The peculiarities of the local administration, in our opinion, include the activities of conciliatory colleges from representatives of two communities – the town and the university. The existence of principals in the municipal houses in which the students lived. And also a rather early appearance in the structure of town power of an advisory body under the main offi cers of the corporation. These features of the Cambridge administration should be explained by the existence of a «scientifi c community» within the town limits, the need for local authorities to build their dialogue with it.

Full textAbstract:
Environmental injustice occurs when a particular population, most often low-income people of color, is exposed disproportionately to an environmental health hazard. On the continuum of an environmentally unjust situation, there are several stages and levels at which inequities occur. A corporation makes a decision to locate a waste incinerator in a neighborhood that, because of historical socioeconomic discrimination, has become a low-income African American community in an industrial zone. Community members are stonewalled and intimidated at a public hearing about a local environmental health problem by industry and government officials who sit far away from the audience and use technical jargon to describe the issue. Native-Americans lose an important diet staple and economic activity when an industry's runoff contaminates the fish in a body of water. These examples illustrate geographical, procedural, and sociocultural inequities contributing to environmental injustices.

Defining relations can be built between the state and the corporation on its capitalist structure with observable results in increasing economic performance. The idea of sustainability results from Schumpeter's analysis of "healthy" economic growth of about 2% per year (according to the analysis between 1890 and 1940, including the unsustainable pre-crisis growth of 3.8% / year between 1890 and 1929). Basically, the relationship between government action and corporate governance can be likened to the relationship between urban management and business management (the ultimate goal is to attract investors / stakeholders to the city / corporation by offering advantages over other areas with similar characteristics but keeping the sense of economic logic). to maintain a competitive environment over the local government apparatus and an effective relationship with the inhabitants of that city, respectively, to maintain an organizational culture that resonates with the employees and with the initial purpose of the business), thus this research work having a character of rationalization of the economic environment of an emerging state through an integrated corporate governance approach to the issue.

Purpose Technological outsourcing requires possessing the technological capability level by enterprises taking the outsourced activity and further mandates build-up capabilities. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing nations such as Ethiopia are usually equipped with low level of technological capability and could benefit from government-supported or government-initiated outsourcing networks. The current study aims to preliminarily assess performance of outsourcing initiative taken by the Hibret Manufacturing and Machine Building Industry, a subsidiary of a national corporation, in developing technological capability of SMEs in Ethiopia. Design/methodology/approach The study used a qualitative research approach through interviews with the parent company officials and owners of SMEs and site visit to these SMEs. Findings are organized in a way to draw lessons to be learned from technological outsourcing examined. Findings Technological learning, acquisition of new technologies, market access and process innovation are few capabilities achieved by the involved SMEs. To facilitate and harness these opportunities and further assist in policy ratification, a conceptual framework has been presented and elaborated. Research limitations/implications Further investigation into outsourcing procedure and biases are expected to shed further light onto the outsourcing initiative by the parent company. This study drew results from investigation of the SMEs involved. Additional investigation of other SMEs is expected to reveal additional insights. Originality/value There is a dearth of literature focusing on exploration of technological outsourcing in low-income developing countries, such as Ethiopia, to build SMEs’ technological capabilities. This research presents insightful contribution to strategic outsourcing to build local technological capability in developing economies.

In 1956, the Ancient Monuments Preservation Act (AMPA) was first introduced, ushering in a more contemporary approach to cultural preservation in Nepal. The focus of this legislation is primarily on the material (physical) aspects of cultural heritage. The Guthi Corporation, formed by the Government of Nepal under the Guthi Corporation statute of 1976, focuses on the intangible legacy of the Kathmandu valley in a manner similar to that described above. The Department of Archaeology (DOA), a federal government body backed by the AMPA and in charge of safeguarding the country's cultural heritage. International organizations like the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) criticized the difficulties in managing the Kathmandu valley's world heritage sites, which led to their inclusion on the endangered list in 2003, which has since been removed. The purpose of this research paper is to examine the effects that different government organizations' (stakeholders') policies have throughout time on the management and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Kathmandu valley. In order to maintain cultural assets using historical as well as case study methodologies, the research of this article recommends a review of current policies on dispersed policies and organizational responsibilities. Study reveals that now the time to development of unified policies and organisation to minimise the overlapping roles for good management and conservation in the Kathmandu valley, which will primarily be based on local cultural context as well as UNESCO criteria.

Sellers are bound to follow this price chart. It is the right of citizens to bargain with seller to follow this chart. DSCC (Dhaka South City Corporation) acts as a watchdog in the market to follow the price chart. But unfortunately, price chart do not exist in many markets of DSCC jurisdiction. Although sometimes price chart exit but it is not updated regularly. In Bangladesh, every marketing sphere is controlled by a financially powered group. They are also considered as syndicate. They control each and every movements of market. The kitchen market is not out of their black hand. Therefore, it is obvious that every classes of customer need to go there for their own daily essential commodities.The price of daily essential commodities imposed by DCC is not followed by the sellers. Imposed price of DCC is not effective for customer unawareness and their indifferent attitude. Most of the time, it is impossible to pursue the imposed price although Government and its related administration department want to control it. The objectives of the study is to conduct a survey on the Bazaar monitoring system of DSCC and the effectiveness of the corporation to monitor the prices of daily necessities in a kitchen market. This research is mainly qualitative in nature. A stratified sampling method is followed for conducting this research. Data is collected from both primary and secondary sources. The primary data has been collected from four kitchen market (Polashi Bazaar,Ananda Bazaar,New Market Bazaar and Hatirpool Bazaar) under DSCC jurisdiction.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected Bangladesh’s economic and social well-being in many ways. Slum dwellers, including day laborers, rickshaw pullers, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) drivers, housemaids, hawkers, and street vendors, were the worst victims of this pandemic. Besides the voluntary organizations, the City Corporation (urban local government), instructed by the central government, took the initiative to distribute necessary food as well as financial assistance to the city dwellers to survive during the lockdown. The objective of this study is to identify the satisfaction level of slum dwellers with the assistance received from the City Corporation and obtain an idea of whether these supports were enough for them to maintain their livelihood. This is a mixed method research consisting of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Researchers conducted a field survey in Sylhet City Corporation, in the northeastern part of Bangladesh, and collected primary data from one hundred and fifty-five respondents through a structured questionnaire along with an interview (semi-structured) schedule. Samples were selected by applying a multistage sampling technique. Researchers analyzed quantitative data using SPSS software and qualitative data using the thematic analysis method. Study findings reveal that nepotism, patron–client relation, corruption, unequal treatment, management flaws, low level of community engagement, political consideration, and lack of monitoring were the major issues in providing effective service delivery to slum dwellers during COVID-19. Citizen participation, well coordination, proper monitoring, impersonality, and good governance are indispensable for dealing with any crisis.

The establishment of a Local-Owned Enterprises (BUMD) operating in the banking sector has a strategic role for the people and the Government of Batu City in order to improve the economic status, public service, and competitiveness in the financial sector, and is an attempt to increase the regionally generated revenue as mandated by Law Number 23 of 2014 and Government Regulation Number 54 Year 2017. However, with the regulatory space and authority it has so far, Batu City Government has not established the BUMD as intended. Moreover, this paper will explain sociological aspect and the choice for politic of law for the Batu City Government in the framework of BUMD establishment in banking sector. Based on these circumstances, this paper uses a normative juridical research method to see regional community needs for banking financial institution owned by the Batu City Government.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the contributions of Government regulations to financial distress facing Local Authorities in Kenya.Methodology: A descriptive research design was used to conduct the study. The study population comprised of the 175 Local Authorities in Kenya. A sample of 20 Local Authorities was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire was used to collect data from both the Local Authorities officers and customers of Local Authorities. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative responses were analyzed using content analysis. Results: Results indicated that the government regulation on Local Authority was unfair and ineffective. Results further indicated that the inadequacy or biased government regulation contributed to financial distress in Local Authorities. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that, the sources of revenue that were taken away from the Local Authorities should be reverted back to them or the government to increase funding to LA’s. Officers also suggested that some of the Acts that divert funds to other ministries/departments should be reviewed. It was also recommended that a portion of corporation tax that is paid to the government should be devolved to LA’s. The Local Authorities also need to be given more powers to increase their sources of revenue. It was also recommended that perhaps the law should be amended to enable the setting up of an anticorruption committee at the Local Authority level. In addition, it was suggested that cap 265 should be amended so as to divorce politics from running of LA’s.Most importantly, it was recommended that the government should liaise with the Local Authorities and conduct comprehensive consultation on how a certain law would affect them before passing it. Further regulations and amendments to the existing laws should be critically examined to avoid watering the revenue base of the newly formed county governments.

Purpose Local governments face increasingly complex challenges related to their internal operations as well as the provision of public services. However, research on how they embrace evidence-based approaches such as data analytics practices, which could help them face some of those challenges, is still scarce. This study aims to contribute to existing knowledge by examining the data analytics practices in Kansas City, Missouri (KCMO), a city that has become prominent for engaging in data analytics use through the Bloomberg’s What Works Cities (WWC) initiative with the purpose of improving efficiency and enhancing response to local constituents. Design/methodology/approach This research conducted semistructured interviews with public servants who had data analytics experience at KCMO. Analysis looked for common and emerging patterns across transcripts. A conceptual framework based on related studies is built and used as the theoretical basis to assess the evidence observed in the case. Findings Findings suggest that data analytics practices are sponsored by organizational leadership, but fostered by data stewards who engage other stakeholders and incorporate data resources in their analytical initiatives as they tackle important questions. Those stewards collaborate to nurture inclusive networks that leverage knowledge from previous experiences to orient current analytical endeavors. Research limitations/implications This study explores the experience of a single city, so it does not account for successes and failures of similar local governments that were also part of Bloomberg's WWC. Furthermore, the fact that selected interviewees were involved in data analytics at least to some extent increases the likelihood that their experience with data analytics is relatively more positive than the experience of other local government employees. Practical implications Results suggest that data analytics benefits from leadership support and steering initiatives such as WWC, but also from leveraging stakeholder knowledge through collaborative networks to have access to data and organizational resources. The interplay of data analytics sponsored activities and organizational knowledge could be used as means of assessing local governments’ existing data analytics capability. Originality/value This study suggests that data analytics practices in local governments that are implementing a smart city agenda are knowledge-driven and developed incrementally through inclusive networks that leverage stakeholder knowledge and data resources. The incrementality identified suggests that data analytics initiatives should not be considered a “blank slate” practice, but an endeavor driven and sustained by data stewards who leverage stakeholder knowledge and data resources through collaborative networks.

The crisis happening in Venezuela is a humanitarian crisis that affects political instability and local economics. This economic crisis is caused by reducing the cost of oil supply. Besides, the political crisis began with internal problems between the government and the opponent, exacerbating the situation. It brings attention to developing countries to get into this crisis dynamic, such as Russia. In Venezuela's crisis, Russia offered material support and morality to Nicolas Maduro's government. Thus, Russia attempts to support Maduro from international claims. This research intends to analyze the reasons behind Russia's supporting Nicolas Maduro in the Venezuela Crisis by using the constructivism theory of Alexander Wendt. Based on research results, showed 3 variables that explain Russia's involvement in the Venezuela crisis. Firstly, interdependence is related to corporation dependence between Russia and Venezuela. Second, homogeneity, is based on both the same background. Lastly, common fate is based on the same destiny and adversary between Russia and Venezuela.

This paper addresses Green Growth and Agriculture in Brazil, analysing the National Plan for Low Carbon Emission in Agriculture (ABC Plan). The main focus is to detail the structure and actions proposed and implemented by the ABC Plan, and also to identify its economic, environmental and social effects. Using a qualitative research approach, desk research was conducted through reports, newspaper articles, and official documents from the Brazilian government and the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA). The outcomes indicated that the ABC Plan did not address the main components of the literature on green growth policies, such as proper training of human resources in sustainable agricultural techniques, and access to financial support for promoting the implementation of sustainable agriculture systems. The lack of participation of local institutions in the creation and implementation of the ABC Plan is also pointed out.

Full textAbstract:
The modern government is required to be able to run the business for the social welfare improvement. By utilizing public funds for business, public accountability mechanisms must be well-executed. The Indonesian Government is currently actively encouraging the village government to develop the business based on local potency. However, with various limitations, the process of managing the Village Owned Enterprise has not been accompanied by adequate public accountability. Therefore this paper discusses the problematic of carrying out public accountability mechanisms at the village level. The phenomenon of public accountability deficit can be seen from the vertical and horizontal dimensions. Through quantitative and qualitative research, the results show that business management in village government has not been accompanied by adequate public accountability. Responsibility mechanisms conducted either vertically, or horizontally have not run optimally. headman still dominates the village government, as a result the spirit of corporation in the management of the village business can not be realized. Therefore, in the future, accountability mechanisms in managing the Village Government Business should be directed towards optimizing the role of stakeholders through a governance approach. Through this approach, it is expected that public accountability will lead to the involvement of all stakeholders in the management of public wealth.

Full textAbstract:
Municipalities are in search of exploring alternative own revenues to finance urban infrastructure investments in India. As compared to others, monetization of public land is within the functional domain of local governments subject to certain constraints. This study employs a linear programming model incorporating the constraints enforced by state government to assess the potentials of public lands for urban infrastructure capital investments. This approach is largely different from the existing literature, which does not determine the capacity of municipal public lands based on realized revenues. This investigation finds that certain proposed leasing strategies for Guntur Municipality under different simulations as done in this research have potentials to realize 240% more revenues compared to ‘business as usual’ scenario and hence, provide new policy insights for leasing public lands in a revenue optimization perspective. The framework adopted by this helps local governments to estimate the potentials of public lands and establish revenue targets.

This article examines the emergence of Mexican American school segregation from 1915 to 1935 in Kansas, the state that gave rise to Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Even though Mexicans were not referenced in Kansas’s school segregation laws, they were seen and treated as a racially distinct group. White parents and civic organizations pushed school officials to establish separate facilities for Mexican children. We argue that the contradictory and enigmatic responses to school segregation from high-ranking U.S. and Mexican government officials pointed to a degree of uncertainty about whether Mexican children could be segregated. That ambiguity, however, did not prevent local school officials from placing Mexican children in separate facilities. As the American Educational Research Association continues to pursue education research that promotes the public good, the segregation and resegregation of Mexican children in the United States must be framed as a critical issue moving forward into the “next 100 years.”

Full textAbstract:
The energy business has played an important role in an economic growth of Taiwan because the market share is in the high value that can make a significant contribution towards regional and local employment. However, Taiwan is lack of energy resources, making the country highly relies on an import for more than 98 percent of its all energy. At present, a top priority of the countrys policy is to develop clean, sustainable, independent, and efficient energy in order to eliminate the vulnerability from external disruption. Therefore, this research aims to assess the operating efficiency and to analyze factors affecting the efficiency scores of the registered energy companies in the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) recorded during 2003-2012. The super-efficiency data envelopment analysis (SE-DEA) was initially applied to reveal the additional efficiency scores, followed by the Tobit regression model used to analyze what factors determine the efficiency scores. The empirical results showed that seven DMUs performed efficiently, ranking from 7.29 to 1.02. The company with the best operating performance was Taiwan Cogeneration Corporation (TCC), while the Great Taipei Gas Corporation (GTG) revealed the worst efficiency score. Furthermore, the Tobit regression model explained that the higher number of the local employees, the greater the efficiency scores were. Besides, the lower number of the shareholders, the greater the efficiency scores were. As a result, the Taiwans government is supposed to encourage all energy companies to have a higher number of local employees and shareholders to increase their efficiency scores.

This study looks into the state of SDG 6 implementation at the local government level in Rajshahi City Corporation (RCC) with a focus on water and sanitation services. The research adopts a mixed-method approach and in-depth interviews to collect primary data. The study analyses the collected data using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. It has been found that large numbers of people do not always have access to enough water, demonstrating the problem of water scarcity in the region. According to the study, only a small percentage of participants tested their drinking water, which suggests that participants were not aware of the importance of water quality. Additionally, the lack of personal water purification and reuse systems is revealed by the research, indicating a gap in sustainable water management practices. Most of the city dwellers expressed dissatisfaction with the authority’s management of the water supply, indicating insufficient oversight and governance. The findings highlight the need for improved infrastructures, water treatment techniques, education campaigns, and governance mechanisms to effectively meet SDG 6 targets and guarantee residents of RCC access to clean water and sanitary facilities.

Full textAbstract:
In April 1998 the New Zealand Government announced a reform package for the electricity industry. This package was designed to create the competition promised since deregulation first began in 1987. The 1998 reforms had two main aspects: first, the split of the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand (ECNZ), New Zealand's dominant state-owned enterprise (SOE) generator, into three competitive units; second, a rule business (the ownership split) that local power companies could not own both a lines business (the local distribution wires) and a generation or retail.The ownership split caused a revolution in the industry. Effectively, small community-owned companies were forced to sell their retail and generation businesses to larger companies or to the State, in the form of the ECNZ "babies". The Government believed that the ownership split would facilitate retail competition and deliver lower domestic power prices. This article asks whether the Government was right – whether the ownership split was necessary, or able, to reduce domestic power prices. It concludes that the ownership split was a staggering mistake. The Government's reasoning was based on inconclusive evidence, inadequate research, and contained major logical flaws. The Government rejected unanimous policy advice warning against the split. Since the split, average domestic power prices have risen by almost four per cent. A major factor is the demise of community-owned supply companies which had offered unique advantages to consumers.The root of this disaster was ideological bias. The Government did not understand the electricity industry but treated it as an abstract economic construct. This article documents the way in which ideology led the Government to wreak havoc on an industry in order to cure problems which did not exist.

Full textAbstract:
National (and international) trends in the employment of older workers show a decline in the economic participation of older people, and especially older men, since the 1970s, and general evidence of age discrimination in the workplace. This case study of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) examines statistical patterns in the fortunes of staff aged 50 years and over in a company with good reason to buck the trends. The BBC is a large, publicly-funded, equal opportunities employer endeavouring to reflect a diverse nation in its staff composition. The research is in two parts. First, we carried out a comparison at five-year intervals of the age profile of the Corporation and observed trends in official retirement at age 60 and the employment of staff working beyond retirement age, from 1978 to 1993. Secondly, an age-related analysis of departures, recruitment and part-time working was undertaken for a 12-month period, from 1992 to 1993.The research revealed the increasing marginalisation of older workers at the BBC. This accelerated during a period of substantial contraction in the latter part of the 15-year study period and led to an age profile far younger than in other public sectors such as Local Government. Pressures to become ‘lean and efficient’ appeared to have been at the expense of older workers, who were unprotected in the workplace.

Full textAbstract:
Research has documented the connection between poor waste management and the contamination of ground and surface water across the globe and in Lagos in particular. This makes access to improved sanitation and water central to the pursuit of a good quality of life. This paper set out to explore variations in access to improved sanitation and water across Local Government Areas in Lagos state. Secondary data from the 2006 census of the Federal Republic of Nigeria were used. The study shows that access to improved sanitation and water is not equitable in the state. Collection of domestic solid waste ranges from 4 to 73% while access to improved water provided by the water corporation in the state ranges from 2 to 50%. The paper concludes that access to improved sanitation and water in Lagos is largely ‘metropocentric’. The implication is a high likelihood of variations in the incidence of cholera and waterborne diseases in the non-metropolitan parts of the state. The paper recommends concerted research-based intervention aimed at increasing access to sanitation and government-provided safe water in the non-metropolitan parts of Lagos state.

Full textAbstract:
Dr. Loran B. Smith passed away in Topeka, Kansas, on July 24, 2009. He was born on July 23, 1946. He was the son of Gordon T and Edith A (Hibbard) Smith of Medford, Massachusetts. Loran received his bachelors degree at Salem State College (Massachusetts) in 1968, a masters from Oklahoma State in 1971, and then taught at Black Hills State (Spearfish, South Dakota) from 1971–1974 and Augustana College in Souix Falls from 1974–1977. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1980 and taught at Missouri Southern State College in Joplin until 1982. He then came to Washburn University of Topeka, where he taught until his death. While “Doc” Smith (as the students referred to him) published sufficiently enough to be awarded tenure and promotion to professor, that was not his forte. Loran was a gifted teacher. His CV lists 23 teaching awards, including Washburn's Faculty Certificate of Merit, a university-wide teaching honor based on student elections, from 1985–1998. Loran was also extremely active in faculty governance and other service to the university and the Topeka community. He was on the university's faculty governing body from 1996–2006, serving as its vice president in 2002 and president from 2003–2005. He was the chairman of the Social Science Division almost all of the 1990s and he also served as the chairman of the college's curriculum committee during that same time span. As Washburn is an open-admission university, we have retention problems not experienced by most universities. Loran researched, organized, and ran a college experience program for at-risk students. He was very active in ASPA, serving as the Kansas chapter president from 1987–1988, indeed, his auto license plate read “KS ASPA” and was purchased for him by students he had recruited into ASPA. Loran's main area of academic interest was state and local government and he was the election night expert for one of the local TV stations here in the capital of Kansas from 1984–1992. What occupied most of his time and energy outside of his official academic duties was serving as the faculty advisor for a local chapter of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity. Doc Smith took what was a typical college fraternity and turned it into a modern association of men that consistently had the highest average GPA of all the fraternities and sororities on campus. It was not unusual for Loran to pay for a student's tuition and fraternity house bill, buy students books, and lend money to a needy student. Loran had a reputation for frugality (his apartment had a TV but no cable, a rotary phone, and he rented all of his furniture and appliances). Loran's tightness with money turned out to be a big benefit for the fraternity. One chapter official put it this way, “Through his notorious tight-fisted watch over finances, the Chapter was able to wipe out a significant debt to the National Housing Corporation ahead of schedule and helped the chapter build a significant savings by 2000.” People who knew Loran thought that he was not married but Loran was married to his job. Not only was Loran in his office nearly every evening until 10:00 p.m., but he was there all day Saturday and Sunday too, and, more often than not, there was a student in that office talking with him.

Full textAbstract:
The Government of Indonesia finally issued a Government Regulation (PP) governing Regionally Owned Enterprises (BUMD), namely PP No. 54 of 2017 concerning BUMD. The PP is the government's answer to the debate about BUMD that has occurred so far. The government provides an opportunity for regional governments to optimize the wealth of their respective regions, but because local governments are not allowed to carry out business activities, establishing BUMD is one way that can be done by local governments to increase Regional Original Revenue (PAD). Even so, the government did not prepare regulations that govern BUMD. With PP No. 54, it is hoped that the parties involved with BUMD have guidelines on how to manage and oversee BUMD operations. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) guidelines on BUMD throughout Indonesia in the form of Regional Corporation (Perseroda). In this study, the scope of the research is limited to examining the implementation of the principle of transparency in the General Guidelines for GCG in Indonesia issued by the National Committee on Governance Policy (KNKG) in 2006. One of the main guidelines for the implementation of the transparency principle is that companies must provide information in a timely, adequate, precise, accurate, and comparable and easily accessible to stakeholders under their rights. To obtain this information, the first step taken is to inventory BUMDs in the form of Perseroda in Indonesia. BUMD data obtained through searching facilities from the internet. Based on the searching, 57 BUMDs were obtained that matched the research criteria. Based on this study, only 35% of BUMDs implemented the principle of transparency, 26% only implemented a part of the transparency principle, and the remaining 39% did not apply the principle of transparency.

This study investigates venture capital (VC) reputation impact on the pre-IPO performance of the entrepreneurial firms backed by three kinds of VCs. This study employs backward stepwise regression models following prior theoretical frameworks to examine the research question. Based on a database of the top 50 VC firms ranked during 2016 to 2020 and their portfolio firms. This study shows some contingent contribution to pre-IPO firm performance. Firstly, the reputation of the Chinese government-owned VCs is negatively associated with their portfolio firm performance. Still, there is a positive relationship between foreign and local private VCs. Secondly, entrepreneurial firm performance is significantly associated with industry policy and entrepreneur’s performance than VC reputation. This study has practical implications for entrepreneurs and limited partners regarding their corporation relationships with the Chinese VCs. JEL codes: G24, G34

The purpose of this study is to identify how smart tourism information technology based on ICT influences on the satisfaction of smart tourism as recognized by tourists with an experience of using ICT smart tourism service to promote ICT-based smart tourism and suggest implications based on them. For this, survey was conducted in the period of 54 days from December 9, 2019, to January 31, 2020. Total 250 copies were distributed that 218 copies were collected. Among them, 18 copies with incomplete responses were excluded that total 200 copies were used for empirical analysis. According to the results of factor analysis on ICT-based smart tourism information technology, factors were classified into four types of information, accessibility, interaction, and individualization. At the same time, according to the results of analysis of smart tourism satisfaction, there was a single factor and it was named as smart tourism satisfaction. In addition, among the factors of ICT-based smart tourism information technology, all the information, accessibility, interaction, and individualization turned out to positively influence on smart tourism satisfaction. It is required to establish ICT-based smart tourism connecting system where tourism service can be linked according to consumers. It is urgently required to prepare for the system where the government, public corporation, local government, and private sector are able to cooperate with each other to create a virtuous cycle structure that benefits such as products, contents, and services dispersed based on a precise understanding of behaviors and preferences of tourists are provided to ICT-based smart tourism consumers through supplier linked system.

India's society is now characterised by widespread urbanisation. Millions of people are moving to cities in search of employment because cities are the main benefactors of globalisation and are growing in population. This shows that Indian cities must act as the engine for the country's economy's structural change. Infrastructure has to be improved and upgraded, which necessitates active cooperation from both the state and federal governments. The 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Constitution, which aim to establish an institutional framework for bringing about grass- roots democracy through the use of genuinely self-governing local bodies in both urban and rural areas of the nation, provide a clear mandate for democratic decentralisation in addition to the directive principle of state policy. The subjects covered in this research study include various urban local bodies, their relevance, their organisation, their tasks and responsibilities, and their problems and difficulties. Urban Local Bodies must deal with issues such financial scarcity, unplanned urbanisation, excessive state government control, and the proliferation of agencies, Low level of People’s Participation in socio-economic development. And how can the financial independence of urban local governments be increased? By incorporating technology, e-governance, financial instruments like municipal bonds, ensuring active citizen participation, and improving grievance redressal mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
The Social Forestry Program was a government initiative that yielded significant outcomes and provided unprecedented access and opportunities to the community. One notable change has occurred in the Perhutani area through a scheme known as IPHPS. This scheme provides long-term tenure security to forest farmers with higher returns than before. In addition, extensive experience in addressing tenure conflicts in the Perhutani area, a State Forestry Corporation (SFC), has prompted communities to apply for the IPHPS scheme. Therefore, this research aimed to investigate the dynamics of changes in access and assess their implementation using the concept of property rights as a framework. The results showed that the IPHPS scheme provided community groups the right to manage forests but needed more flexibility to decide on the use of resources. In addition, the management patterns regulation had a significant responsibility to restore forest conditions. Furthermore, this research proposed new rights, particularly management rights, for community groups to manage their forest resources up to the operational level and improve forest conditions. In addition, the absence of a management authority caused difficulties in achieving social forestry's objective of increasing local communities' role in managing their forest resources.

Introduction:The lack of institutional mechanisms in the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) for rationalizing spending has led to a less than optimal allocation of financial resources. The study's objective is an explicit and systematic priority setting process of selecting new interventions for PhilHealth through identification of relevant literature evidence on the themes under study, then subjecting these to stakeholder and expert consultations.Methods:The qualitative study followed a problem solving approach to policy analysis. Bardach's Eightfold Path, supplemented by a World Health Organization (WHO) guideline on policy analysis, provided the framework. Eightfold path recommends that the analysis proceed by (i) defining the problem, (ii) assembling the evidence, (iii) constructing the alternatives, (iv) selecting the criteria for identifying the best alternative, (v) projecting the outcomes, (vi) confronting the tradeoffs, (vii) making the decision, and (viii) disseminating the results.Results:A six-step priority setting process to facilitate the assessment of new interventions for PhilHealth coverage was developed. The process is governed by seven accountability-based principles and four explicit criteria to evaluate interventions. Additionally, the study provided proof-of-concept for conducting local cost-effectiveness and budget impact analyses as key inputs to a national systematic priority-setting process.Conclusions:This study recommended four criteria and a seven-step process for priority setting to be adopted and an overarching set of principles that will guide the conduct of such activities. The proposed priority-setting process was approved by the PhilHealth. The same process was adopted by the Department of Health in the draft administrative order for health technology assessment. This study stimulated research projects for economic evaluations of health interventions.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Existing scholarship indicates that more research is needed to explore beneficial spillovers from public entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to fill the gap in that literature by examining a case of public entrepreneurship by a corporation. While political engagement by private firms frequently reduces to rent-seeking, this paper explores an instance in which public entrepreneurship by a private firm lead to beneficial spillovers – specifically, positive externalities resulting from the engagement of Cummins Engine Company with city government in Columbus, Indiana. In the case study, these spillovers consist of improved infrastructure, altered norms, and the reintroduction of economic calculation. Design/methodology/approach This case study uses publications in popular outlets, newspapers, and historical documents to understand the relationship between Cummins Engine Company and its local government. Findings Contrary to the presumption that public engagement by private firms necessarily reduces to rent-seeking, the activities of the Cummins Engine Company lead to beneficial public spillovers by way of improved infrastructure and norms, as well as by restoring a degree of economic calculation to the production of public buildings in Columbus, Indiana. Originality/value The authors illustrate the precise mechanisms that generate the potential spillovers from public entrepreneurship that Klein et al. (2010) explore theoretically.

Full textAbstract:
Based on original archival research and oral interviews, this article examines archives creation and the preservation of the history of the multinational mining companies of Selection Trust (ST) and Anglo-American Corporation (AAC) in Zambia's Copperbelt region between 1922 and 2000. The investment of foreign capital by multinational companies in the Copperbelt mines from the 1920s, marked the genesis and formal preservation of business archives in the Copperbelt. This article argues that although the ST and ACC archives were privately owned and strictly preserved for corporate interests and administrative efficiency, these documents eventually became publicly available because of Zambia's political independence and the nationalisation of the mining industry in the 1960s. In the early 1970s, the United National Independence Party (UNIP) government nationalised the Zambian mines and merged the two multinational companies to form the Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines (ZCCM). Consequently, in 1982, the ST and ACC archives were merged. However, following the complete privatisation of the mining industry in 2000 the identity of mining archives reverted to private entities. This article provides new and significant insights into the power and role of regional and local political-economic shifts in determining the nature and identity of business archives in Zambia.

Full textAbstract:
The Indonesian constitution has stated that natural resources must be utilized for the people’s benefit. But the people’s interests are often defeated by the elite. The long-term goal of this research is not to close the mining area and its activities, but to ensure that the exploration and exploitation process that has already started must prioritize ecological balance and disaster resilience. Using a qualitative method and a descriptive approach, this study analyzes the role of the government, corporation, and local communities in the framework of resources governance in order to strengthen the advocacy of civil society who are often marginalized in the existence of extractive industries. The results of the study show that the gold mining activity is contrary to the forestry law where the existing rules have been liberalized by selling state assets to private companies; the lack of added value for local communities such as limited job vacancies; the occurrence of environmental damage around the gold mining area where this area is actually a protected forest and a natural barrier from the threat of a tsunami disaster; and even though mining companies have claimed that their activities are environmentally friendly, in fact disasters are starting to appear.

Abstract: Solid waste management is among the basic essential services provided by municipal authorities in the country to keep cities clean.. n. Due to industrialization, rural to urban migration and high growth rate of population have induced rapid urbanization in developing countries and obviously in India also. The per capita waste generation rate in India has increased from 0.2 kg to 0.6 kg per day in cities with population ranging from 1.0 lakh to 50 lakh; such a steep increase in waste generation within a decade. Pune is one of the fastest developing city, it generates total quantity of waste is about 1300 to 1400 metric tons per day. So, there is need of the proper waste collection, transportation route for prevention of environment form the hazardous waste disposal. Solid waste management all over world is looked as major challenge to civil bodies. Pune corporation has taken initiatives to collect, segregate and treat solid waste and system for handling around 1600 MT / day is operative. Composting, biogas and inert waste recycle are present mode of treatment. Praj Industries limited, Pune has taken the activity further to noticeable level and can integrate overall waste management activities so that from biodegradables, biodiesel, bio CNG, fuel ethanol and liquid manure can be safely produced The solid waste is increasing in Pune city due to growth of population, urbanization, higher per capita income and standard of living, changing lifestyle and food habits. The solid waste created by the household units, shops, restaurant and commercial units are higher. Government and Municipal Corporation must encourage local management through collection, transport and segregation and disposal of solid waste. Public awareness and segregation at source, rules and regulations related to solid waste will bring good change in solid waste management. This site suitability map presented in four suitability level such as highly suitable, moderate suitable, less suitable and unsuitable.

Siak regency, Indonesia, has more than two hundred-thousand-hectare mangrove areas. Local community for all this time has been developed mangrove areas as ecotourism, but they still lack sustainable management to maintain it. Therefore, this study aims to promote strategies' policy for the sustainable management of mangrove ecotourism in the Siak regency. The research was conducted from July 2019 to July 2020 at 3 locations of mangrove ecotourism, which involved 30 respondents, consisting of 21 people to assess the SWOT analysis and 9 experts to assess AHP. For generating the sustainable policy strategy, A'WOT, a combination of AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) and SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats), was applied. The SWOT data in mangrove ecotourism management includes strengths (2.797), weaknesses (-0.22), opportunities (3.668), and threats (0.149). The results showed that there were six policies needed to excuse. From these policies, the opening opportunities for investors for ecotourism development policy (0.243), improving facilities and infrastructure policy (0.194), providing business training on ecotourism policy (0.178), increasing ecotourism promotion policy (0.111), establishing cooperation between government and stakeholders policy (0.97), and maintaining mangrove ecosystem policy (0.79). It was concluded that mangrove ecotourism in Siak regency required priority funding to develop facilities and ecotourism's business training to cultivate sustainable management of mangrove ecotourism. Corporation between the government and stakeholders was needed to accelerate the realization of the policies.

Introduction. There is an urgent need to assess the activity of Advanced Socio-Economic Development Territories (TASED) set up in single-industry towns and Administrative and Territorial Entities of Closed Type (ATECT). The research objective was to identify the current trends in the modus operandi of TASED set up in ATECT. Data and methods. The research featured official figures posted on the websites of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development, on the official websites of local authorities, regional government, Corporation of Far East’s Development, the resident companies of TASED, and various scientific publications. The research was based on comparative analysis and the factor and system analysis. The research results. The population of TASED territories revealed an almost equal distribution. However, its concentration is higher in the towns with over 500.000 residents. The number of residents appeared to correlate with the activity of small and medium-sized enterprises on the territory. Large investment projects in TASED of single-industry towns make up less than 5 % of all projects. The main TASED’s investor is local business. There are mostly low- and medium technology productions. At its current state, TASED do not encourage development of high-technology industries and knowledge-intensive services. The authors propose some options of budgetary efficiency assessment. Discussion and conclusion. TASED proved to be beneficial for the economic development of single-industry towns, especially those with a machine-building complex as core enterprise. However, TASED revealed to have no positive effect on distant depressed towns and single-industry towns with sustainable working core enterprises. The research results can be used by scientists, public authorities, and managers of TASED companies.

Full textAbstract:
The issues of financial support for the restoration of critical infrastructure are of utmost relevance during martial law, characterized by limited resources and capabilities and increased risks, and must be addressed comprehensively at the state and local levels. The structural redistribution of local budget revenues and expenditures that occurs during martial law necessitates the search for effective ways to attract off-budget instruments for financial support of infrastructure in communities. The aim of the article is to assess the financial capacities and opportunities for restoring the infrastructure of territorial communities and to review promising financial mechanisms. The research is based on the hypothesis that it is necessary to develop combined forms of financial support at the level of territorial communities with an emphasis on intensifying the involvement of international donors. The research methods were used, such as systematic and comparative analysis and synthesis, abstract and logical method, and logical generalization. The research is based on materials from government sources on the state and local budgets and on the basis of scientific works by Ukrainian scholars. The article has presented the opinions of scientists on the financial support essence and systematized its forms, methods and tools for direct financial support of infrastructure projects in communities; revealed the possibilities and prospects for their application under martial law. The expediency of choosing combined forms of financial support as those that balance the interests of the participants has been substantiated. Based on the state analysis of budgetary financing of infrastructure projects at the state and local levels, the availability of financial capacity in local budgets and the continuing trend of long-term projects by international donors at the national level were established. The main method of financial support for projects at the state level is loan programs from international financial institutions and foreign governments. The author has proposed the development of promising forms of financial support for the restoration of infrastructure projects in the form of loan and grants programs combination from the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO)

"Geographical Access to Child and Family Healthcare Services and Hospitals for Africa-Born Migrants and Refugees in NSW, Australia; A Spatial Study." International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 18, no. 24 (December 15, 2021): 13205. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph182413205.
Full textAbstract:
Background: African-born migrants and refugees arriving from fragile states and countries with political and economic challenges have unique health needs requiring tailored healthcare services and support. However, there is little investigation into the distribution of this population and their spatial access to healthcare in Australia. This paper reports on research that aimed to map the spatial distribution of Africa-born migrants from low and lower-middle-income countries (LLMICs) and refugees in New South Wales (NSW) and access to universal child and family health (CFH) services and hospitals. Methods: We analysed the Australian Bureau of Statistics 2016 Census data and Department of Social Services 2018 Settlement data. Using a Geographic Information System mapping software (Caliper Corporation. Newton, MA, USA), we applied data visualisation techniques to map the distribution of Africa-born migrants and refugees relative to CFH services and their travel distance to the nearest service. Results: Results indicate a spatial distribution of 51,709 migrants from LLMICs in Africa and 13,661 refugees from Africa live in NSW, with more than 70% of the total population residing in Sydney. The Africa-born migrant and refugee population in Sydney appear to be well served by CFH services and hospitals. However, there is a marked disparity between local government areas. For example, the local government areas of Blacktown and Canterbury-Bankstown, where the largest number of Africa-born migrants and refugees reside, have more uneven and widely dispersed services than those in Sydney’s inner suburbs. Conclusion: The place of residence and travel distance to services may present barriers to access to essential CFH services and hospitals for Africa-born refugees and migrants. Future analysis into spatial-access disadvantages is needed to identify how access to health services can be improved for refugees and migrants.

Full textAbstract:
In May 2020 Sidewalk Labs, the Google-affiliated ‘urban innovation’ company, announced that it was abandoning its ambition to build a ‘smart city’ on Toronto’s waterfront and thus ending its three-year relationship with Waterfront Toronto. This is thus a good time to look back and examine the whole process, with a view to drawing lessons both for the future of Canadian smart city projects and the future of public sector agencies with appointed boards. This article leaves to one side the gadgets and sensors that drew much attention to the proposed project, and instead focuses on the governance aspects, especially the role of the public ‘partner’ in the contemplated public-private partnership. We find that the multi-government agency, Waterfront Toronto, had transparency and accountability deficiencies, and failed to consistently defend the public interest from the beginning (the Request for Proposals issued in May of 2017). Because the public partner in the proposed ‘deal’ was not, as is usually the case in smart city projects, a municipal corporation, our research allows us to address an important question in administrative law, namely: what powers should administrative bodies outside of government have in crafting smart city policies?
In Canada, the comparatively limited Canadian scholarly work regarding urban law and governance has mainly focused on municipal governments themselves, and this scholarly void has contributed to the fact that the public is largely unaware of the numerous local bodies that oversee local matters beyond municipal governments. This paper hones into the details of the WT-Sidewalk Labs partnership to understand the powers and limitations of WT in assuming a governmental role in establishing and overseeing ‘smart city’ relationships. It ultimately argues that WT has not been – nor should it be – empowered to create a smart city along Toronto’s post-industrial waterfront. Such tasks, we argue, belong to democratic bodies like municipalities. An important contribution of this paper is to situate the evolving role of public authorities in the local governance literature and in the context of administrative law.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of further development of the national university structure in the context of the European integration processes of the Ukrainian educational system and its internal transformation significantly foregrounds research studios, in which the subject of retrospective approaches has being developed various aspects of the topic, including the fate of representatives of professorial teaching corporations and studentship in the event of defeat of national liberation struggles the beginning of the 20th century and the establishment of the Soviet form of statehood in Ukraine. This process has been analyzed on the example of the Kamianets-Podilskyi State Ukrainian University, which was founded on the eve of Hetman P. Skoropadskyi with the direct participation of representatives of government structures, local self-government and public institutions. The authors used the problem-chronological and historical-typological methods, which provided a distinction in the topic of research of certain problems. The change of political regimes in Ukraine has led to the use of the historical-comparative method, and the biographical has allowed to ascertain the activity of concrete activists in a fractious period of history. It was emphasized that at the end of 1920, the academician community of the Kamianets-Podilskyi State Ukrainian University faced the problem of further life choices. It has been noted that a part of the staff of the educational institution, based on the previous experience of Bolshevik governance in Podillia, has made a decision in favor of emigration. It has been proved that 18 members of the corporation sent abroad from among the professors, private associate professors and assistants, were headed by rector I. Ohiienko. Students were a separate group. The challenges of everyday life have been described in the conditions of emigration being, and attempts have been demonstrated to overcome them. I. Ohiienkoʼs active position in solving urgent questions concerning the assignment of members of the professorial corporation to European scientific centers has been shown with purpuse to complete the researches begun at home and their employment in educational institutions organized in the camps of the interned. Great efforts were also made by I. Ohiienko to help students continue their studies at European Higher Education Centers. Despite the unstable political and difficult financial situation, these tasks have been successfully implemented to a certain extent. With the rest of the projects and programs it looked less important. It has been demonstrated that the expectations of those representatives of the corporation that remained in Ukraine, in order to contribute to the development of the educational system in its national forms by its own work, in view of the general strategy of the Bolshevik Party to unify all spheres of social and political life, have not been justified. Some representatives of the corporation were included in the list of prominent figures of science and culture, which the Soviet authorities preferred to deport abroad at the end of 1922 – early 1923 has been shown. The precondition of this process has been proved by the fact that the communist education system was oriented to satisfy the needs of the state, Bolshevik model of socialism, but much less to improve social relations. As a result, political purges and permanent terror, including deportation, have become an inalienable and key method of «sovietization» of the intelligentsia in scientific and educational institutions.

Purpose. The aim of the article is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological basis for the formation of cluster associations in the healthcare system of territorial communities, against the background of various forms of organization and set of relations that arise within the cluster association in the context of decentralization of powers. Methodology of research. The methodological basis of the study is the systemic and institutional approaches, according to which all processes of management of the health care system of the local community comply with current legislation. The following methods were used: structural and functional research – to analyse the main trends of the social and economic situation of development; statistical comparisons – to assess the impact of the medical industry on regional development. The generalization of methodological approaches of developed countries to the formation of a cluster management system has shown that the regional healthcare system is able to function effectively considering management decisions and the results obtained from their implementation, which is reflected in assessing its condition at the appropriate stages of development. Findings. It is substantiated that the effectiveness of healthcare regulation in modern conditions largely depends on ensuring access of all participants in social and economic relations in the field of healthcare to the necessary resources. Regulation needs to focus on realizing the potential of the health sector through the most efficient use of its resources. It is found that one of the most optimal tools for integrating the interests of government, business and the population in this area is the so-called “cluster approach” given its universal mechanisms, high efficiency, and simplicity of organization. Territorial clusters are an active force in economic development and a powerful tool for networking between participants in regional innovation systems in different countries of the world. It is proved that the cluster provides important synergetic effects, without which modern life is impossible, it is a way to mobilize stakeholders (state, business, scientific community) and a tool for science, technology, and innovation policy to achieve the goal of innovative development and technological modernization of the economy in medicine, pharmaceuticals and related industries. It is revealed that the corporation of communal non-profit enterprises of the health care system acts as an active communicator and integrator for the participants of the future medical cluster and health care organizations. In the future, such an association will become an international center of communication and exchange of competencies, and the launch of a portal on medical technology and innovation in healthcare – will broadcast this positive experience to the masses, talk about advances in medicine. The features of business associations (corporations) are systematized. It is established that this is a complex organization, which is created based on a combination of material interests of the participating enterprises, operates on the basis of the memorandum or articles of association as a legal entity. The advantages of merging enterprises in the field of healthcare are formed, namely: merging of communal non-profit enterprises. The main ones are the effective use of human resources, material and technical base, improvement of medical services for patients. Originality. It is proposed to create a corporation of public non-profit enterprises in the healthcare system of the local community, which, unlike the existing one, will allow optimal and efficient use of available resources, generate innovative solutions, and create preconditions for interaction of all medical sector participants. For the first time, after the implementation of the project to create a corporation that will unite non-profit medical enterprises into a horizontally integrated structure, it is proposed to create a full-fledged medical cluster of the territorial community on its platform. The corporation is being transformed into a management company of the regional medical cluster, the main functions of which will be reduced to the general coordination of the cluster’s work and project management. Practical value. Specific recommendations have been developed for the establishment of a corporation – the association of communal non-profit enterprises, with a clear strategy, comprehensive methodology and a formed road map, as part of a full-fledged medical cluster of the territorial community. Key words: healthcare; cluster; territorial community; corporation; municipal enterprise; non-profitenterprise.

Abstract Natural resource-based social conflicts tend to be more frequent lately, including in the Kelola Sendang project area. The Kelola Sendang Project (KS) is an effort to manage natural resources that guarantee its sustainability on the one hand, and ensure the welfare of its people fairly on the other. This KS project covers a vast area of 1.6 million ha and involve various stakeholders with different interests. The area is also contain a huge potency of social conflicts, both latent and manifest. Therefore, it is important to study the social conflicts in the Kelola Sendang area. This research use a qualitative approach. This study shows that resource-based conflicts in the project area are taken place between villagers, between villagers and corporation, as well as between villagers and government. The social conflicts are managed among others by implementing participatory mapping, social forestry, as well as inclusive and partnership with local community. Moreover, the study found 6 principles in sustainable landscape approach in KS. These six principles are: 1). clearly defined geographical boundary, 2). collaboration of all relevant actors, 3). existence of an “umbrella coordinating body”, 4). mutual benefits and inclusive, 5). complexity, and 6). political support. This principles can also be regarded as a mechanism of conflict management.

This article critically examines the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in governmental reform processes in development through a case study of the Greater Bangalore Municipal Corporation. The study explores the increasing use of ICTs for property taxation and its impact on municipal government reform processes within a developing world context. Attracted by the ‘hype and hope' of such technologies and related platforms, development actors across the world have adopted computer-based systems and related ICTs for use in government as a means reforming the inefficiencies in public service provision. Much has been written about e-governance within a growing stream of literature on ICT for development, generating countervailing perspectives where optimistic, technocratic approaches are countered by far more sceptical standpoints on technological innovation. This paper will examine not only the interplay of local contingencies and external influences acting upon the project's implementation but also aim to offer an insight into disjunctions in these relationships which inhibit the effective exploitation of ICTs in the given context. The research on which this paper is based focus on an empirical case study surrounding the implementation and use of an electronic property tax collection system in Bangalore, India between 1998 and 2008. Drawing on the theoretical perspectives of the ‘Ecology of Games' and ‘Design-Actuality Gaps' which recognise the importance of a multitude of diverse motives and individualistic behaviour as key factors influencing organisational reform and institutional change, the article contributes not just to an understanding of the role of ICTs in administrative reform in development, but towards that emerging body of research which is critical of managerial rationalism for an organization as a whole, and sensitive to an ecology of actors and their various motivations within the organisation.
