Summary: The recent crises underscore the need for modern, sophisticated systems to govern the resolution of business distress, in order to maximize value in the distressed estate and to protect economic institutions. This work analyses how legal systems around the world respond to the general default of business debtors. Inspired by the approach enshrined in the World Bank's Principles for Effective Insolvency and Creditor Rights Systems, it emphasizes the close inter-relationship among various elements of an insolvency regime, examining them not so much as sets of discrete rules as system-wide attempts to reconcile competing policy goals. It posits that any insolvency law pursues the goals of transparency, predictability, and efficiency, while at the same time seeking to address issues of fairness and social justice. Within this framework, the authors examine the principal international approaches to pre-distress debt collection and security enforcement; liquidation and reorganization of distressed businesses; out-of-court workouts; the institutions entrusted with the conduct of such proceedings, including courts, official administrators, and private trustees; the position of the employees of distressed businesses; and cross-border insolvency. Without being prescriptive, the authors set out the costs and benefits of settling the myriad policy questions in these domains one way or another. This book would be of interest to legal and international policy-makers, academics and advanced students, courts and practitioners dealing with domestic and cross-border insolvency, and anyone seeking to understand or reform insolvency systems.

Independent Evaluation of Ifc's Development Results 2009: Knowledge for Private Sector Development World Bank,2009 Shelf mark : 332.153 WOR Barcode : 1138299

Summary: The Independent Evaluation of IFC's Development Results 2009 assesses the development outcomes and additionality (unique role and contribution) of IFC interventions. It analyzes factors driving results, and reviews performance patterns on a thematic topic. This year s thematic is IFC s Advisory Services (AS) knowledge services that IFC provides to either private companies or governments in support of private sector development. The report s main findings are: Investment Services results improved overall. Performance was especially strong in Europe and Central Asia (ECA) and Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Most operations were implemented prior to the crisis and thus results do not yet reflect the deterioration in global economic conditions. In terms of results, 70 percent of reviewed AS operations achieved high development ratings. Performance has been strongest in ECA and weakest in LAC. Results were significantly better for infrastructure, business enabling environment, and corporate advice operations and weaker in the case of environmental and social sustainability Key drivers of AS performance have been: client commitment; programmatic approaches; IFC s additionality; and monitoring and evaluation quality. Charging for AS has been associated with better performance. To enhance development impact, the report recommends that IFC: Effectively manage the tension between protecting the portfolio and responding to opportunities during crisis; Set out an overall strategy for IFC advisory services,

Advanced Operations Management David Loader Shelf mark : 658.5 LOA Barcode : 1138347

Summary: Operations management is a vital component of any organisation in the financial markets. Without highly efficient operational capacity any business would be vulnerable to competition and would find the overall cost of its business unviable. It is also the case that operations teams and the functions they perform have both altered radically in the last five to ten years, illustrated by the active role in risk management that operations teams perform today. Traditionally a predominantly processing function, the changes to the structure of the industry have been significant and this has fundamentally altered the operations scope. Today its functions are processing but also risk control, client service, revenue or profit protection, and in some cases revenue generation.

In this book David Loader analyses the challenges of being a good supervisor and manager in an environment of constant change, variable workloads and pressure to deliver quality services cost effectively. He also discusses the challenges and most effective ways of managing risk, people and clients

Teachers in Anglophone Africa: Issues in Teacher Supply, Training, and Management World Bank, 2010 Shelf mark : 373.110967 WOR Barcode : 1138146

Summary: Teachers present a complex of issues for policy makers, which are not always adequately captured by current indicators and addressed by current policies. This work, based on country-specific studies of a broad spectrum of teacher issues in 8 countries in Anglophone Africa, examines specifically teacher supply, deployment, management and finance issues. It reveals that most countries face challenges of teacher supply, and that the planning for and regulation of teacher supply are weak. There are often particular shortages in specific subject areas, most commonly in mathematics and the sciences. In some cases the limiting factor is the output of suitably qualified school leavers. For most countries there are severe problems of teacher deployment, resulting in inefficient utilization of the available teachers. Weaknesses in teacher management and support systems further reduce the effectiveness of teachers. The book suggests that the issues of supply, deployment, quality and cost are inter-related, and should be addressed through a comprehensive series of policies. Based on the case studies, policies which appear to be working, or to offer potential solutions, are identified..

as housing and labor. The techniques applied include traditional regression analysis, experimental approaches, and audit studies, as well as structural methods. This wide range of analytical approaches leads to findings that confirm some of the common perceptions regarding discrimination but challenge the conventional wisdom in other regards. In some instances the long-held conventional wisdom may not hold at all. Latin Americans do not discriminate more or less than inhabitants of other regions, and the discrimination that does occur appears largely to stem from lack of information on individuals a result of great interest in colleges and universities that teach courses on Latin American development both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Furthermore, this book s findings extend to the political arena, as they challenge standard policies that have been ineffective for decades. Finally, this book should be of interest to researchers, as the empirical methods employed are at the vanguard of the profession. In fact, in addition to the contribution that this volume makes to the literature on discrimination, it also has the potential to contribute more broadly to labor economics, development economics and experimental economics, as well as to Latin American studies.
