Book Description
In this report the Commons Business Innovation and Skills Committee says it has concerns over the Government's ability to deliver on its strategy to support UK exports: a key part of the Government's strategy to support the UK's recovery from recession. The Committee welcomes the direction of the new strategy, which has gone some way to address business concerns. It also contains some innovative policies and a clearer focus across Whitehall on trade promotion. However, the Committee was unimpressed with the pace of the Department's policy formation. In particular it was unimpressed with the delay in publishing the UK Trade and Investment's (UKTI) strategy for business support and the time taken to appoint both a Trade Minister and Chief Executive of UKTI. There are concerns about the Government's ability to deliver on the strategy given the reduction in funding available to the Department and its delivery organisations. It highlights the risk of reductions to the UKTI's budget, services and trade advisers. While it welcomes the Government's ambition to make UKTI a more entrepreneurial organisation, the Committee remains unconvinced that it will be able to attract the right people from the private sector given these constraints. They conclude that it is early days for a new trade strategy, a new Trade Minister and a new Chief Executive of UKTI. Given the funding constraints faced by UKTI successful delivery of the strategy represents a significant challenge. Its success can only be measured by positive outcomes for business and we will judge the Government's strategy in that light.

Book Description
Employee participation and voice (EPV) concern power and influence. Traditionally, EPV has encompassed worker attempts to wrest control from employers through radical societal transformation or to share control through collective regulation by trade unions. This book offers a controversial alternative arguing that, in recent years, participation has shifted direction. In Employee Voice and Participation, the author contends that participation has moved away from employee attempts to secure autonomy and influence over organisational affairs, to one in which management ideas and initiatives have taken centre stage. This shift has been bolstered in the UK and USA by economic policies that treat regulation as an obstacle to competitive performance. Through an examination of the development of ideas and practice surrounding employee voice and participation, this volume tracks the story from the earliest attempts at securing worker control, through to the rise of trade unions, and today’s managerial efforts to contain union influence. It also explores the negative consequences of these changes and, though the outlook is pessimistic, considers possible approaches to address the growing power imbalance between employers and workers. Employee Voice and Participation will be an excellent supplementary text for advanced students of employment relations and Human Resource Management (HRM). It will also be a valuable read for researchers, policy makers, trade unions and HRM professionals.

Book Description
There are, in simple terms, three principal kinds of capital that come necessarily into play when a society is evolving towards improving the lives, livelihoods, and qualities of life of its people. The first form of capital is financial – this normally includes physical forms of invested money in plant, buildings, and infrastructure. The second form of capital is human – seen simply as the level and range of skills and capabilities that are available for use in the society. When people are literate, numerate, skilled, experienced, informed, cooperative, and inquisitive, they and their societies can do much more. The third form of capital is social. Here cooperativeness shows its effects, and the rules of how that works vary greatly between societies. It is the second of these elements, human capital, that is the main focus of this book, but it overlaps with social capital extensively in these accounts and can only be understood in terms of its connections into the wider societal system. The varying patterns of its workings and influence in different Asian contexts are explained against the background of a theory of societal progress. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review.
