Looking Beyond Credit: Business Development Services and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dawson, Jonathan / Jeans, Andy, PUBLISHER: Practical Action, In recent years, credit has become the predominant form of support to small producers, while other forms of business development services have diminished. Looking Beyond Credit assesses the need for targeted business development services other than finance, their growing importance among small producers and how they can work in tandem with credit schemes.The book shows that small producers generally face a range of constraintsother than finance such as access to improved technology, raw materials, skills training and information on market opportunities. Therefore, schemes that address these constraints are achieving a larger impact than those which focus on credit alone. The case studies examined here record significant achievements in terms of employment generation, increased incomes and product innovation and diversification, thus supporting the view that targeted business development services can play a bigger role and should be incorporated with credit schemes to provide total support to small producers.Looking Beyond Credit will be essential reading for anyone involved in the supply or demand of business development services.

Computer Techniques in Preclinical and Clinical Drug

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jackson, Robert C. / Jackson, PUBLISHER: Informa Healthcare, It is estimated that 80 to 90% of drugs under development never make it to the marketplace due to insufficient clinical activity, unacceptable toxicity, rapid appearance of drug resistance, or other factors that should be, at least partially, predictable from preclinical testing.

Class Dynamics of Agrarian Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bernstein, Henry, PUBLISHER: Kumarian Press, Development processes are never neutral. They impact various groups and classes of people differently. A high food price may benefit some rich peasants who produce and sell food surplus, but it may disadvantage landless rural laborers. A project on irrigation may benefit those who own the land, but not the landless tenants. Nowadays, official documents by governments and development agencies tend to lump different groups of people into vague categories like 'rural poor'. This might be useful in some cases, but in large part this thinking can harm the poorest of the poor. "Agrarian Change Today" demonstrates the continuing relevance of class analysis in understanding development processes and outcomes. It shows clearly and accessibly how the argument for 'bringing class back in' provides an alternative to inherited conceptions of the agrarian question on one hand, and to widespread notions of 'people of the land', 're-peasantization', and so on, on the other. It illustrates what is at stake in different ways of thinking about class dynamics and the effects of agrarian change in today's globalized world.
