Management perspectives on the role of the management accountant as an information provider

REA Auditado

The management accountant (MA) has traditionally been described as having two distinct roles. One role centres on control, the other on decision-making (DM) (Hopper, 1980). Developments in the business environment have altered the dynamics of these two roles suggesting that the contemporary MA is responsible for providing an increasingly wide range of information.

Overlooked Links in the Results Chain

REA Auditado

This paper focuses on evaluations with
findings that challenge important assumptions of the
development field. Its objective is to pinpoint the areas to
watch for in operations or policies that are decisive for
results. By drawing the attention of development
practitioners, policy makers, and evaluators to these
seemingly obvious but often neglected areas, it aims to
improve development effectiveness by better connecting
interventions to desired results.

Analyzing the Effects of Policy Reforms on the Poor : An Evaluation of the Effectiveness of World Bank Support to Poverty and Social Impact Analyses

REA Auditado

The current global financial and
economic crises are likely to put enormous pressure on
governments to respond with immediate measures and to
undertake far-reaching reforms in the medium term, requiring
a substantial increase in donor support. To protect the poor
and enhance benefits to them, key policy reforms will need
to be underpinned by systematic analysis of their expected
poverty and social impacts.

Workers cooperation within the firm: an analysis using small and medium size firms

REA Auditado

We investigate the determinants of teamwork and workers cooperation within the firm.
Up to now the literature has almost exclusively focused on workers incentives as the main
determinants for workers cooperation. We take a broader look at the firm's organizational
design and analyze the impact that different aspects of it might have on cooperation. In
particular, we consider the way in which the degree of decentralization of decisions and
the use of complementary HRM practices (what we call the .rm.s vertical organizational
design) can affect workers'collaboration with each other.

Climate change and fiscal policy : A report for APEC

REA Auditado

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
economies display large variation in terms of income per
capita. The richest APEC economies have an income per capita
about twenty times higher than the poorest ones. So far most
work on fiscal policy and climate change has been written
with developed economies in mind. This report on the use of
fiscal policies for mitigating and adapting to climate
change effects corrects that bias with a particular focus on
the developing economies of APEC.

Kenya - HIV prevention response and modes of transmission analysis

REA Auditado

In 2007, an estimated 33.2 million
people in the world were living with HIV, and despite twenty
years of prevention programmes, an estimated 2.5 million new
infections occurred in that year. Underpinning the
shortcoming in the prevention response is the inadequate use
of evidence to inform the response.
