O texto aborda as ações educativas oferecidas por uma Organização Transnacional do Terceiro Setor, com comitês locais, no Brasil, e a sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento de uma nova relação com o saber, no sentido de interculturalidade. A organização pesquisada atua em diversos países e busca auxiliar na integração entre diferentes culturas. Foram realizadas entrevistas com os participantes e pesquisa documental. Os dados revelam que as práticas pedagógicas apresentam uma dicotomia entre os valores de paz e seus fazeres convergentes com a lógica do mercado globalizado. A pesquisa aponta que ações educativas deveriam ultrapassar a concepção de multiculturalismo, para a de interculturalismo, instaurando o diálogo com as diferenças.

The aim of the study is to describe the ongoing trend of economization of non-governmental organizations. The key aspect is to present the ways of obtaining funds by NGOs and the main stimulus to decide to run a paid project`s. In order to achieve the intended goal, the author conducted an interview with a representative of the examined entity, analysed literature of the subject, reports and Polish acts of law. Business activity is one of several ways of raising money for NGOs. The budget of the organizations that decide to use such a solution is larger than others players of the third sector. Currently, paid activities in Poland are not popular, but from year to year this way of raising money shows a growing tendency, mainly from paid public benefit activities, not business activities. The main reason for this relates to law restrictions in Poland. The Association AIESEC Polska presents an example of solving these barriers by running a business through a company, where the Association is the sole shareholder. Therefore, AIESEC Polska belongs to the group of social enterprises, because apart from business activities, it conducts voluntary projects with other entities of the third sector or even business. All these activities are the reason of a stable financial liquidity of AIESEC Polska, which serves as a good example of the solutions applied for contemporary non-governmental organizations.

Celem pracy jest opisanie zachodzącego trendu ekonomizacji działalności organizacji pozarządowych. Kluczowym aspektem jest przedstawienie sposobów pozyskiwania środków finansowych przez współczesne NGO oraz głównych bodźców do zdecydowania się na prowadzenie działalności w całości bądź częściowo odpłatnej. Aby osiągnąć zamierzony cel został przeprowadzony wywiad badawczy z reprezentantem badanego podmiotu, została opracowana pewna część literatury przedmiotu, raporty i polskie akty prawne. Warto zatem wywnioskować, iż działalność odpłatna stanowi jeden z kilku sposobów pozyskiwania pieniędzy dla NGO. Budżet organizacji, które decydują się na takie rozwiązanie jest większy od pozostałych podmiotów trzeciego sektora. Obecnie w Polsce czynności odpłatne nie są jeszcze popularne, natomiast z roku na roku rozwiązanie to wykazuje tendencję rosnącą, przede wszystkim z odpłatnej działalności pożytku publicznego, a nie działalności gospodarczej. Jest to związane z ograniczeniami prawnymi w Polsce. Stowarzyszenie AIESEC Polska przedstawia przykład rozwiązania danych barier poprzez prowadzenie działalności gospodarczej za pośrednictwem spółki z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, gdzie Stowarzyszenie jest jedynym udziałowcem. W związku z tym AIESEC Polska zalicza się do grona przedsiębiorstw społecznych, ponieważ obok działań odpłatnych prowadzi projekty nieodpłatne z innymi podmiotami trzeciego sektora czy też biznesu. Połączenie wszystkich tych działalności przekłada się na stabilną płynność finansową AIESEC Polska które to służy dobrym przykładem zastosowanych rozwiązań dla współczesnych organizacji pozarządowych.

Resumo O presente artigo analisa a contribuição das programações ofertadas para o desenvolvimento de uma nova relação com o saber, segundo Bernard Charlot (2000), no sentido da interculturalidade, de acordo com avaliação dos membros de uma Organização do Terceiro Setor Internacional, com comitês locais no Brasil. O referencial teórico foi construído a partir das contribuições das autoras: Maria da Glória Gohn (2010), por caracterizar e aprofundar as reflexões sobre as suas articulações com a educação não formal e para a abordagem da interculturalidade, Vera Candau (2006, 2008 e 2011) e Maria Aneas (2005). O texto aponta a necessidade do reconhecimento, por parte da própria organização, da relevância pedagógica que permeia todas as suas ações, pois em âmbito local, nacional e global, potencializam em larga escala seus processos de liderança, de interculturalidade, desenvolvimento de competências e relação com o saber.

Street vendors in Mumbai are among the most deprived sections of the selfemployed workers. This paper tries to portray the ‘working life’ of street vendors in Mumbai. The working life of vendors is explained in terms of their financial conditions and the extent of indebtedness, the amount of bribes they have to pay in order to sustain themselves in the market, their working hours, the issues of public space utilisation, and the legal aspect of their activity. It has been seen from the study that their entire existence and nature of activities are extremely informal and are trust-based. The study is exploratory in nature and their situations have been explained with the help of both quantitative and qualitative paradigms. The study shows that the street vendors borrow from moneylenders not merely for their economic activity but also for social security purposes at an exorbitant rate of interest, which, in turn, leads them to fall into a debt-trap situation. It has been further found ...

The paper examines the adoption of the Supply Chain Management practices on the performance of Banks in Kenya. This research conceptualizes and develops four dimensions of SCM practice (outsourcing of goods & services, information & communication technology, strategic supplier partnership, and globalization) and tests the relationships between SCM practices, and organizational performance. The study employed descriptive design. Data for the study was collected using a self-administered questionnaire procedure, where the questionnaires were administered to the selected respondents through drop and pick later technique. A sample size of 33 respondents was drawn from the sample frame using simple stratified random sampling technique to promote the needs for efficiency and representativeness from various branches and outlets of Postbank as an organization in Nairobi County and the relationships proposed in the framework was tested using Chi-square, T-test among other statistical tools. Data was analyzed by aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study will be useful in the academic circles as it will contribute immensely towards filling the gaps in knowledge in the area of service industry. The study found that outsourcing was important to the banks only when the appropriate methods are employed. It also found that ICT had a major role in determining the performance of banks as it dictated the mode of transaction and data they displayed to clients. Strategic partnership was also important based on what it intended to achieve in enhancing the performance of banks. Lastly, globalization is equally vital as it increases competition and exposes local banks to global scene to experience how performance of banks can be improved. The study recommends that correct ICT methods should be applied to promote the competitiveness of banks and improve performance. Also it recommends that outsourcing be done only if they promote the objectives and goals of the banking institute.

Mucho se ha dicho sobre que las pymes son un motor de crecimiento para distintas economías. Son generadoras de empleo, conocimiento, etc. Por tal motivo diferentes tipos de organizaciones no gubernamentales, tanto nacionales como internacionales, y organismos gubernamentales, tanto municipales y estatales como federales, han creado diferentes tipos de programas de apoyo económico para el fortalecimiento de las pymes. Sin embargo, los resultados no han sido los esperados. En el presente trabajo se aplica una metodología estadística para comparar un estudio hecho por un organismo internacional, el cual tenía como fin apoyar con financiamiento a las pymes manufactureras de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara (ZMG). Palabras clave: análisis factorial, pymes, esfericidad de Bartlett. Much has been said about that SMEs are an engine of growth for various types of economies. They generate job and knowledge among others. That is why different types of non-government agencies, both national and international; and government agencies, municipal, state and federal, have created different types of programs with financial support for the strengthening of SMEs. However, the results achieved are not the expected ones. This paper applies a statistical methodology for comparing a study conducted by an international agency, which aimed to support financing for manufacturing SMEs in the Guadalajara metropolitan area (ZMG).

If we don't change the world, then who will? Global Volunteer is a cross-cultural experience for youth who want to gain personal development and leave an impact on the world. I worked as a Global Volunteer for 6 weeks at ITES Jacopo Barozzi in Modena, Italy with AIESEC – EduChange Project. I have different classes and different themes, so I learned so many new things. On the other hand, it seems difficult at first look to explain something which you don’t know before. I made presentations about my country - Turkey, Bitcoin – new digital currency, Globalization, History of Money, History of Starbucks, History of Mcdonalds, Marketing mix 4Ps, Product life cycle, SWOT Analysis, Inflation, Warehouse management. All my courses are in English or in German. It was a really good experience for me. I find themes very interesting. Overall, I really liked my lessons. The teachers and students are very friendly and helpful. I have to work a lot here. I should understand themes so I can explain well. I'm lucky, because they always helped me with everything. I have met many people here who are always very nice to me. I am thankful. My only problem was that Modena is really cold.

RESUMO O texto aborda as ações educativas oferecidas por uma Organização Transnacional do Terceiro Setor, com sede na Europa (Centro) e comitês locais, no Brasil (periferia), e a sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento de uma nova relação com o saber e uma nova percepção de mundo, no sentido de interculturalidade. A organização pesquisada atua em diversos países e busca contribuir para a integração entre diferentes culturas promovendo o entendimento e a cooperação entre seus países membros, através do intercâmbio de técnicas administrativas e de recursos humanos. O referencial teórico destaca as autoras Maria da Glória Gohn, por caracterizar a educação não formal e Leilah Landin, por concepções sobre o terceiro setor. Vera Candau e Maria Aneas para os conceitos relacionados à interculturalidade e Jacques Rancière para a formação da comunidade política. A metodologia da pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa se utiliza de métodos diferenciados como: observação não participante, entrevista semipadronizada com quatro intercambistas, pesquisa documental e análise de documentos na internet. Os dados revelam que as práticas pedagógicas de Educação Não Formal apresentam uma dicotomia entre seus valores de paz e os seus fazeres convergentes com a lógica representativa global. A pesquisa aponta que as ações educativas deveriam ultrapassar a concepção de multiculturalismo, para a de interculturalismo, instaurando o diálogo com as diferenças. Palavras-chave: Terceiro Setor, interculturalidade, ações educativas, comunidade política. INTRODUÇÃO O relatório da Comissão Internacional sobre Educação para o século XXI, da Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura (UNESCO), organizado por Jacques Dellors, editado pela primeira vez no Brasil, em 1997, menciona desafios do futuro, afirmando que a educação surge como um trunfo indispensável à humanidade na sua construção dos ideais da paz, da liberdade e da justiça social. Este documento aponta as tensões mundiais que devem ser ultrapassadas e propõe reflexão para articulações entre o local e o global, o universal e o singular, tradição e modernidade, competitividade e igualdade de oportunidades, soluções a curto e longo prazo, extraordinário desenvolvimento dos conhecimentos e as capacidades de assimilação pelo homem, enfim, tensões entre o espiritual e o material. A UNESCO afirma que cabe à educação a missão de estimular que todos, sem exceção, façam frutificar os seus talentos e potencialidades criativas, o que implica, por parte de cada um, a capacidade de se responsabilizar pela realização do seu projeto pessoal. Sendo assim a Comissão, anteriormente mencionada, propõe uma educação capaz de fazer nascer um espírito novo sustentada em quatro pilares por ela considerados as bases da educação: aprender a viver junto, aprender a conhecer, aprender a fazer e aprender a ser. A mesma Comissão expõe no documento a expressão " utopia " ao mencionar estes ideais educativos. O fato real é de que todos estes ideais parecem

Resumo A comunicação tem o propósito de trazer pontos de convergência entre as concepções de Pierre-Joseph Proudhon e as considerações resultantes de uma pesquisa de mestrado sobre as ações educativas oferecidas por uma Organização Transnacional do Terceiro Setor, com sede na Europa (Centro) e comitês locais, no Brasil (periferia). A educação que Proudhon vislumbra busca a autonomia intelectual, moral e profissional, do indivíduo atuando na sociedade em prol de sua liberdade e da liberdade dos outros. A organização pesquisada atua em diversos países e busca contribuir para a integração entre diferentes culturas promovendo o entendimento e a cooperação entre seus países membros, através do intercâmbio de técnicas administrativas e de recursos humanos. O referencial teórico destaca as autoras Maria da Glória Gohn, por caracterizar a educação não formal e Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, com o caráter libertário para a educação. A metodologia da pesquisa com abordagem qualitativa se utilizou de métodos diferenciados como: observação não participante, entrevista semipadronizada com quatro intercambistas, pesquisa documental e análise de documentos na internet. Os dados revelam que apesar de não existir contemporaneidade entre o pesquisador e o objeto pesquisado verificou-se que há uma conexão entre eles, no sentido de proporem espaços educacionais libertários.

The field of entrepreneurship is characterized by competition, financial gain & independence and the socio-economic setting provides a base for individuals to venture into entrepreneurship. Women constitute the family, which leads to society and nation. Social and economic development of women is necessary for overall economic development of any society or a country. Entrepreneurship is the state of mind in which every woman has in her but has not been capitalized in India in way in which it should be. In the current scenario this study focuses on examining the demographic profile of women entrepreneurs and tries to analyze the various motivational factors responsible for women entrepreneurs to start up their own enterprise in the Lucknow District of Uttar Pradesh. The data for the study was collected from the respondents belonging to the Lucknow district of Uttar Pradesh. As the population to be covered for the study was large, so a representative sample of 120 respondents were taken. The research was conducted to determine the factors that could motivate the women entrepreneurs to establish an enterprise in Lucknow district of Uttar Pradesh. Five-point Likert scale was used to measure the satisfaction level of the women entrepreneurs. Reliability of the scale by Cronbach’s Alpha was found satisfactory (0.75).  Structural Equation Modeling using SPSS AMOS software was applied to the data. It was concluded that financial institutions and banks should come forward to support and motivate women entrepreneurs to start their business. Financial help should be provided to women entrepreneurs by government as well as non-government financial agencies as it removes their difficulty in procuring loans. Education is a positive booster in motivating women to venture into entrepreneurship. With higher education, women experience an increase in self-confidence and become more capable of recognizing their strengths. Women’s family obligations also bar them from becoming successful entrepreneurs in both developed and developing nation. So a women entrepreneur should be provided support from the family as it is a very important motivating factor for them. Women entrepreneurs should be provided with special training and development programs for developing their innovative instincts.

Key Words: Women Entrepreneurship, Influencing factors and Motivation.

In India, small firms contribute considerably to economic growth and employ a very large number of people, second only to agriculture. The concentrations of these firms are mostly in the urban areas has failed to seize the opportunities unleashed by economic reforms. Different models are being attempted by various government and private agencies to tap the potential of human resources as an engine of growth. However, the reason behind the successful entrepreneurship or the factors which contributes entrepreneurial success has been studied and concluded differently in different studies.

Aparna Rao, ‘Transparency in Leadership Communication: The Need of the Hour’, 2009


This paper aims to identify an interesting correlation between transparency in leaders’ communication and team success. The main objective of this paper is to prove that team performance, goal achievement and organizational growth are directly proportionate to transparent leadership. The paper also aims to highlight the correlation between employer-employee trust and performance.
The paper is based mainly on secondary data from cases/examples of successful/unsuccessful projects and companies. Communication techniques of leaders who moved away from the ‘beaten track’ of traditional autocratic systems, to a highly empowered team that enabled quicker decisions, responsibility, credit and ownership for the outcome, are highlighted. The researcher attempts to bring out the relationship between leadership communication methods; team loyalty and organizational performance of some companies in India and the U.S. Interviews of employees of some organizations in Mumbai were also conducted.  The case studies compare between four leaders for their democratic leadership approach, and four examples of a lack of this approach.

Cases include the ISRO SLV-3 project in 1973, Marbury Engineering, a civil engineering firm, the partnership between Wal-Mart and Procter & Gamble, and Stu Reed, Motorola.  It can be concluded safely that a direct and democratic approach to communication is an effective tool to increase trust, credibility and enhance performance.
