Implementing Results-Based Budget Management Frameworks - An Assessment of Progress in Selected Countries

Asian Development Bank

Sinopsis

The use of results-based budget management (RBBM) is well established around the world as a concept. RBBM is intended to hold managers to account for their role in organizing the supply of goods and services to the public, and to enforce a regular review of the effectiveness of government expenditure programs. However, there would appear to be significant gaps between concept and implementation. In order for governments to gauge policy effectiveness, a statistical framework must be developed to define outputs and outcome indicators. This publication examines a select group of countries that have led the use of RBMM. It also identifies weaknesses in their implementation from a statistical analysis perspective and suggests guidelines for the development of output descriptions, output indicators, and outcome indicators.

The Journalist and the Murderer

Janet Malcolm

Janet Malcolm delves into the psychopathology of journalism using a strange and unprecedented lawsuit as her larger-than-life example: the lawsuit of Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, against Joe McGinniss, the author of Fatal Vision. Examining the always uneasy, sometimes tragic relationship that exists between journalist and subject, Malcolm finds that neither journalist nor subject can avoid the moral impasse that is built into the journalistic situation.This book is a work of journalism as well as an essay on journalism: it at once exemplifies and dissects its subject. In her interviews with the leading and subsidiary characters in the MacDonald-McGinniss case, Malcolm is always aware of herself as a player in a game that she cannot lose. The journalist-subject encounter has always troubled journalists, but never before has it been looked at so unflinchingly and so ruefully. Hovering over the narrative is the MacDonald murder case itself. The Journalist and the Murderer derives from and reflects many of the dominant intellectual concerns of our time, and it will have a particular appeal for those who cherish the odd, the off-center, and the unsolved.

Communication and Leadership in...

Holger Sievert, Daniel A. Bell

For some people, Public Relations used to be "that former journalist type who deals with the media." However, the public perception of the profession has changed quite substantially. Communication has become a genuine modern management function. The integration of successful public relations is a crucial contribution to raising the level of professionalism in an organization. "Communication and Leadership in the 21st Century" is a review of theoretical and empirical research papers on this subject, intended for scholars, students, and professionals across these disciplines. 
The volume focuses in particular on four distinct, but interrelated areas of communication: Integrated Market & Corporate Communication, Communication Management & Media, Organizational Communication & Change and Leadership Communication & Strategies. With special emphasis on the German and European situation and two digressions to China, the authors provide different perspectives on the cross-cultural context of international communications and leadership. 
The book's four subject areas also characterize the key subjects of an innovative Executive MBA program which has been developed in cooperation with the Technische Universität München. The study program is part of the ¡communicate! Qualification Program, an initiative of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the Heinz Nixdorf Stiftung and the Daimler Fund. The aim of ¡communicate! is to unite communication and leadership in the workplace, in training and in research.

Max Factor and Hollywood - A...

Erika Thomas

The story of the makeup artist who changed the film industry—and the world of modern cosmetics. Includes photos.   When Polish wigmaker and cosmetician Max Factor arrived in Los Angeles at the dawn of the motion picture industry, “make-up” had been associated only with stage performers and ladies of the oldest profession. Appalled by the garish paints worn by actors, Factor introduced the first “flexible” greasepaint for film in 1914. With a few careful brush strokes, a lot of innovation, and the kind of luck that can happen only in Hollywood, Max Factor changed the meaning of glamour. His innovations can be experienced in every tube of lipstick, palette of eye shadow, and bottle of nail lacquer used today.    Join author Erika Thomas as she reveals the makeup guru's expert beauty tips and the story of how he created the most iconic golden-era looks that are as relevant today as they were nearly a century ago.
