The present working paper documents the results of a pilot study on the Economic Impacts of Development of Convention Tourism in Hyderabad. Gaining impetus from various stakeholders of the tourism industry, the research employs the importance - performance model. The assessment is done under two heads: tangibles and intangibles, to examine whether the city of Hyderabad does live up to its reputation of being the “Convention Capital of India” attracting, in particular, leading industry giants to participate in congresses and conventions. The main study would endeavor to provide a sustainable business model to supplement the efforts of Government of Andhra Pradesh.

The Narayanpet Kimberlite field, that lies southwest of Hyderabad, the capital city of Andhra Pradesh, India, hosts a number of kimberlite pipes. These pipes appear to be randomly positioned. However, based on regional geologic structures revealed by Bouguer gravity anomalies, especially in a regional gravity map, their locations form a definite pattern. In the Narayanpet-Maddur region, regional Bouguer gravity contours exhibit some features of geologic interest: (1) the eastward convex regional contours show an increase in convexity from the Maddur and Kotakonda area on the east to Narayanpet on the west, (2) convexity is maximum in the vicinity of Narayanpet, where a large number of Kimberlite pipes occur nearly parallel to the regional contour, and (3) between Narayanpet and the Maddur-Kotakonda region, kimberlite pipes occur at intersections of three eastward, convex concentric zones with four lineaments, one trending northeast-southwest and the other three nearly east-west. These linear trends are believed to be radial, extensional, deep-fracture zones, through which kimberlite magma erupted about 1100 Ma. Modeling the residual gravity anomaly over one of the four profiles shows fairly good agreement between observed and computed fields. Based on analysis of Bouguer gravity anomalies and modeling of the residual gravity field, likely locations for kimberlite pipes are the contact zones between granite plutons and the country rocks that coincide with the northeast-southwest–trending radial faults that pass through Narayanpet and Kotakonda to the south and through Kazipur to the north.

The article explores the cultural politics of regionalism in Coastal Andhra following the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh through a focus on the planning of a new capital city, Amaravati. The envisioned city embodies an imagination of the state’s future development, in which older signifiers of Andhra identity are sutured with global aspirations. Viewing Amaravati as a symbolic space where Andhra is being reconstituted, the article traces the reterritorialization of the region by a deterritorialized provincial elite through return flows of capital and state-led revitalization of regional identity. While the Amaravati plan reflects broader trends of neoliberal urbanization in India, it is also deeply embedded in regional development aspirations and contestations.

Strategic Human Resources Management

Zimbabwean firms particularly those in manufacturing have been greatly affected by the opening up of the economy which has seen the influx of cheaper foreign goods. This has created intense competition for the sector as customers opt for the more affordable foreign products. The result of this competition has been the decline of capacity utilisation by the local manufacturers which has also been accompanied by firms closing down, retrenching staff or at times refusing to award salaries that match the poverty datum line as they seek to survive. On the other hand, employees faced with possibility of losing employment or earning low salaries have accused employers/managers of being self-centered in the decision making process. It is for this reason that this study was carried out to ascertain the extent of employee empowerment in Zimbabwe’s manufacturing sector. The study is confined to large scale manufacturers who are on Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) register operating in Bulawayo,the 2nd capital city of the country. The study uses the qualitative approach and is case study of Bulawayo based manufacturers. Proportional representation is used to draw a sample 33 firms from 16 strata that make up the sub-sectors of the country’s manufacturing sector. The study findings reveal that the sampled firms are moderately high on engaging employees in empowerment programmes. However the findings also reveal that managers, to a large extent, treat employee contributions as only fairly important. Thus the study concludes that there are fa8irly low levels of employee empowerment in the sector in Bulawayo. The study recommends that as a way of raising employee levels of empowerment, the firms should adopt the Strategic Human Resources Management and the Total Quality Management Approach.

This study aims to comparatively analyse the front office operations of two Hungarian gov-ernment windows, one located in a capital city district and the other in a county district centre, to examine the difference in the perceived service levels. First, through an international literature review, the study describes the background of the government window system and the importance of key performance indicators (KPIs). In addition, it demonstrates how KPIs can be measured in a public service context, regardless of the type and complexity of a given service. Second, the study provides a detailed statistical analysis and a comparison of the typical administrative public services related to waiting times, processing times, and lead times. Moreover, it offers an analogy of industrial service process management by presenting how the selected meth-ods and measures can be used to review processes related to an industrial, a manufacturing, or a public service, following a holistic management approach. The study contributes to the literature by using KPIs of the private sector and industry in public service processes and shows how these common KPIs can be measured in the public service context to provide valuable insights into service processes. Finally, it demonstrates the differences between the KPIs of the government windows to help legislators to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of services.

Communication Disability

Functional approaches to disability measurement in Zambia reveals an overall disability prevalence rate of 13.4%, 4% of whom are recorded as having “speech impairment” (Zambia Federation of the Disabled [ZAFOD], 2006). Further, multidimensional poverty assessments indicate that 48.6% of Zambia's approximately 16 million citizens are impoverished. Currently, there are three internationally qualified speech-language pathologists (SLPs) providing services within Zambia's capital city, Lusaka. Given these statistics, it follows that a significant number of Zambian's, experiencing communication disability, are unable to access specialist assessment and support. Over the past decade, Zambia has seen two very different approaches to address this service gap—firstly, a larger scale top-down approach through the implementation of a formal master's degree program and more recently a smaller scale, bottom-up approach, building the capacity of existing professionals working in the field of communication disability. This article provides an overview of both programs and the context, unique to Zambia, in which they have developed. Authors describe the implementation challenges encountered and program successes leading to a discussion of the weakness and merits to both programs, in an attempt to draw lessons from which future efforts to support communication disability and SLP service development in Majority World contexts may benefit.
