Book Description
En esta obra se aborda el estudio del capital social a través de tres vías complementarias: en primer lugar, se propone una definición general que permita analizar el papel de las organizaciones no lucrativas (ONL) en la creación de capital social; en segundo lugar, se realiza una aproximación al capital social en España y se compara con los países de su entorno; por último, se examina la contribución al capital social de las organizaciones no gubernamentales para el desarrollo (ONGD). Las ONL son un elemento crucial para comprender y analizar el capital social de una sociedad, por eso en este estudio se proponen claves para valorar el capital social generado por organizaciones atendiendo a su origen, al papel que desempeñan y a su funcionamiento. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que España se encuentra en una posición inferior respecto al conjunto de países europeos analizados. Las ONL juegan un papel crucial, y si dentro de ellas se atiende al caso de las ONGD, la primera constatación es que el contexto de referencia no ha sido favorable y han tenido que desarrollarse a partir de una situación difícil. Las ONGD estudiadas tienen una clara vocación de mediación entre diversos contextos y se han convertido en activos de prestigio creciente en la sociedad española, con un aumento de personas implicadas y recursos, afianzando sus redes de cooperación con organizaciones en los países receptores, así como los vínculos con otras plataformas internacionales. Esta obra, de carácter divulgativo, sin por ello renunciar al rigor en la exposición de los contenidos, está dirigida a personas que se dedican al estudio del capital social, así como a quienes se interesan por las entidades sin ánimo de lucro, en especial por las ONG que trabajan en el ámbito del desarrollo.

Book Description
This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Book Description
In the absence of a widely accepted and common definition of social enterprise (SE), a large research project, the International Comparative Social Enterprise Models (ICSEM) Project, was carried out over a five-year period; it involved more than 200 researchers from 55 countries and relied on bottom-up approaches to capture the SE phenomenon. This strategy made it possible to take into account and give legitimacy to locally embedded approaches, thus resulting in an analysis encompassing a wide diversity of social enterprises, while simultaneously allowing for the identification of major SE models to delineate the field on common grounds at the international level. These SE models reveal or confirm an overall trend towards new ways of sharing the responsibility for the common good in today's economies and societies. We tend to consider as good news the fact that social enterprises actually stem from all parts of the economy. Indeed, societies are facing many complex challenges at all levels, from the local to the global level. The diversity and internal variety of SE models are a sign of a broadly shared willingness to develop appropriate although sometimes embryonic--responses to these challenges, on the basis of innovative economic/business models driven by a social mission. In spite of their weaknesses, social enterprises may be seen as advocates for and vehicles of the general interest across the whole economy. Of course, the debate about privatisation, deregulation and globalised market competition--all factors that may hinder efforts in the search for the common good-has to be addressed as well. The second of a series of four ICSEM books, Social Enterprise in Latin America will serve as a key reference and resource for teachers, researchers, students, experts, policy makers, journalists and other categories of people who want to acquire a broad understanding of the phenomena of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship as they emerge and develop across the world.

Book Description
1 DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was initially developed as a method for assessing the comparative efficiencies of organisational units such as the branches of a bank, schools, hospital departments or restaurants. The key in each case is that they perform feature which makes the units comparable the same function in terms of the kinds of resource they use and the types of output they produce. For example all bank branches to be compared would typically use staff and capital assets to effect income generating activities such as advancing loans, selling financial products and carrying out banking transactions on behalf of their clients. The efficiencies assessed in this context by DEA are intended to reflect the scope for resource conservation at the unit being assessed without detriment to its outputs, or alternatively, the scope for output augmentation without additional resources. The efficiencies assessed are comparative or relative because they reflect scope for resource conservation or output augmentation at one unit relative to other comparable benchmark units rather than in some absolute sense. We resort to relative rather than absolute efficiencies because in most practical contexts we lack sufficient information to derive the superior measures of absolute efficiency. DEA was initiated by Charnes Cooper and Rhodes in 1978 in their seminal paper Chames et al. (1978). The paper operationalised and extended by means of linear programming production economics concepts of empirical efficiency put forth some twenty years earlier by Farrell (1957).
