Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Companies operating in countries with volatile economies face an
environment subject to turbulence. It is important to understand
how these companies can overcome adversity, establish competitive
advantage, and achieve superior performance. The selection of
competitive drivers can help to improve the ability to capture,
process, and manage information that can generate knowledge and
innovation in products and processes, as well as increase strategic
capacity and organizational performance. Strategy and Superior
Performance of Micro and Small Businesses in Volatile Economies
focuses on the ways that organizations capture information and
disseminate it in their work teams, transforming this knowledge
into innovative products and services that establish competitive
advantage. It will improve the understanding of the role of
strategy, innovation, entrepreneurship, and the effort to reduce
poverty levels in societies with volatile economies and which are
subject to serious social disparities. Highlighting topics such as
economic development, market performance, and network economy, this
publication is designed for managers, entrepreneurs, business
professionals, academicians, researchers, and students.
The phenomenon of poverty and its consequences affects the entire
world and is on the agenda of many authorities and researchers. The
repercussions of the economic and health crisis caused by COVID-19
are perceptible and has led several countries to regress their
social indicators to 1990 levels. Economic development and
inequality reduction programs have not been able to provide
solutions that could minimize the impact of the pandemic on social
indicators, even in more advanced economies. The issue prompted
authorities to close their borders to avoid displacement, further
aggravating regional differences. The phenomenon of poverty,
despite being aggravated by the crisis, is recurrent and very
harmful in peripheral countries and there seems to be no single
solution, as each country faces its specificities, requiring an
immersion in its causes and consequences. This book discusses the
results of research conducted on the causes of hunger and poverty
and how the pandemic has aggravated this problem. It explores the
local development initiatives that have been implemented to
mitigate the problem and identifies the different causes for the
chronic problem of hunger and underdevelopment in the countries
studied to present proposals in public policies to intervene,
combat and improve poverty situations. It includes points in
different scientific areas, such as sociology, economics,
management, entrepreneurship, marketing, education, among others,
that add to the efforts to combat poverty and current means and
methods to modernize countries that are less developed. This book
is intended for those who work or study within the scientific
fields related to the phenomenon of hunger, poverty and local
development, as well as for universities, students, teachers and
researchers. Additionally, the book is aimed at policy makers
related to the topic under study and practitioners dealing with the
problem so that they can utilize the wide range of studies that
will be presented in the book, which will also be of interest to
the general public.
During its existence the Ecosciences Panel of the North Atlantic
Treaty Organisation was constantly concerned with (i) the communic
ation gap between the generators of ecological/environmental infor
mation and those who use it and (ii) the narrow interpretation of
'environmental' which too frequently was taken as being synonymous
with pollution. Because of this concern, and because the panel
recognised that land-use is perhaps the overriding facet of
environmental policy it was decided to arrange the Seminar recorded
in this volume: - Land and its Uses: Actual and Potential An
Environmental Appraisal The development of this Seminar was chaired
by Professor F. T. Last who was enthusiastically supported by B. G.
Bell (U.K.), Drs S. Bie (Norway), 0. W. Heal (U.K.), R. Herrmann
(Federal Republic of Germany), M.C.B.Hotz (formerly of NATO,
Belgium, but now in Canada), L. Munn (Canada) and N. Yassoglou
(Greece). Together, they decided that the participants should
include (i) planners/decision makers and (ii) scientists generating
ecological/environmental infor mation, in the hope that they would
gain a better understanding of each others problems and attitudes
and as a result identify how information can be prepared in a more
usable form."

consequences. Multidimensional Approach to Local Development and
Poverty: Causes, Consequences, and Challenges Post COVID-19

causes of hunger and poverty and how the pandemic has aggravated
this problem, as well as the local development initiatives that
have been implemented to mitigate the problem. Covering a range of
topics such as sustainable development and public policy, this book
is ideal for policymakers, government officials, practitioners,
researchers, academicians, instructors, and students.
