Cette thèse s'intéresse à l'évaluation de l'effet à long terme de l'Investissement Direct Etranger (IDE) sur le développement des pays africains pour la période allant de 1990 à 2018. L'IDE peut influencer développement à long terme des pays en développement en élargissant différents horizons d'investissement. Selon les modèles de croissance endogène, l'effet de l'IDE se répand d'une manière assez large à toutes les dimensions de développement, soit en accroissant et en diversifiant le capital, soit en influençant le bien-être social ou l'environnement et la sphère politique des pays d'accueil. Cependant, les études empiriques précédentes dans les pays en développement se sont principalement focalisées sur l'effet de l'IDE sur la dimension économique ou sur un sous-ensemble de dimensions développement et ont donc, et sans surprise, abouties aux résultats mitigés. Ainsi, il est impératif de réévaluer l'effet à long terme de l'IDE sur les pays en développement en utilisant un cadre empirique qui intègre simultanément les effets multidimensionnels de l'IDE ; tout en contournant les problèmes potentiels de multicolinéarité. Ceci pourra fournirait un réel et claire effet à long terme de l'IDE. Cette thèse est motivée par une évidente absence de littérature empirique sur l'effet à long terme de l'IDE sur les économies africaines ; l'effet qui est en fait la principale motivation derrière l'attraction d'IDE par les pays en développement. Pour atteindre son objectif global, cette thèse est divisée en trois principaux chapitres : Le premier chapitre offre une perspective de synthèse de travaux issus d'une revue systématique de la littérature empirique sur l'impact de l'IDE dans les pays d'accueil en développement pour la période allant de 1985 à 2018 afin d'élucider pourquoi les résultats empiriques sont mitigés et moins concluants. Ainsi, les résultats mettent en évidence quatre principaux problèmes méthodologiques dont : (1) le manque d'un cadre empirique inclusif et dynamique, (2) les modèles d'évaluation inappropriés qui ne tiennent pas compte des effets multidimensionnels de l'IDE sur le développement des pays d'accueil en développement, (3) des méthodes d'estimation inappropriées qui ne tiennent pas compte du dynamisme du processus de la croissance et de développement ainsi que le problème d' endogénéité et enfin (4) une unité inexacte de mesure de l'effet de l'IDE. Tous ces problèmes pourraient avoir biaisé le coefficient estimé de l'effet de l'IDE. A cet effet, nous avons proposé un modèle conceptuel qui aiderait à évaluer de manière exhaustive l'effet de l'IDE dans les pays en développement et mener ainsi aux résultats fiables. Dans le deuxième chapitre, il a été question de vérifier si les IDE contribuent ou pas au développement à long terme des pays africains tout en contournant les problèmes méthodologiques soulevés dans le chapitre précédent. Pour y arriver, nous avons opté pour un modèle d'évaluation multidimensionnel qui rassemble les deux visions opposées (Théories néo-classiques et endogènes versus théories de la dépendance). En effet, l'IDE entraîne à la fois des bénéfices et coûts sur les économies d'accueil. Ainsi, le gain net de l'effet de l'IDE proviendrait de la différence entre ses bénéfices et coûts engendrés. Notre étude a utilisé des données panel de 35 pays africains et l'approche PMG/ARDL, pour examiner l'effet des IDE entre 1990-2018 sur le continent. Le résultat confirme que l'effet à long terme de l'IDE sur le PIB réel par habitant est statistiquement minuscule pour l'ensemble des pays en échantillon. Le troisième et dernier chapitre visait à explorer empiriquement et à comparer séparément les effets de développement à long terme des fusions et acquisitions et des investissements de création (greenfield investment) sur les pays africains en échantillon pour la période de 1990 à 2018. En effet, se concentrer sur l'effet à long terme agrégé de l'IDE dans les pays en développement brouillerait le scénario factuel concernant l'effet de développement de l'IDE qui peut produire deux effets conflictuels. En utilisant une méthodologie similaire à celle utilisée dans le chapitre 2, les résultats empiriques sont en contradiction totale de la préférence (greenfield investment) des partenaires au développement et des décideurs politiques des pays en développement. Les résultats montrent spécifiquement que les deux principaux modes d'entrée d'IDE ont exercé des effets bénéfiques à long terme dans les pays pris en échantillon. Cependant, l'effet des fusions et acquisitions est relativement positif que celui de greenfield investment et ceci, que les variables de contrôle soient prises ou pas en compte

The linguistic integration of migrants affects every aspect of settling in a new country (employment, health, etc.). The aim of this collection of texts is to propose a number of specific measures member states can take to help adult migrants become acquainted with the language of the host country. The main focus is on organising language courses that meet migrants’ real communication needs. It is not enough for authorities simply to consider the technical aspects of such courses, they should also design and conduct them in accordance with the fundamental values of the Council of Europe. A number of issues concerning the linguistic integration of adult migrants are presented here, beginning with the notion of linguistic integration itself. Family reunion, the nature of citizenship and the function of language tests, among others, are dealt with from the point of view of language and language use. Readers are invited to reflect on the type of language competences that need to be acquired as well as an appropriate use of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. The collection also sets out approaches and instruments designed to assist in implementing effective policies.

ÔAs its title implies, this book by three distinguished scholars puts a cultural perspective at the front and center of issues relating to current approaches to managing complex organizations. It does this by covering the most recent relevant findings by researchers from around the world and, most importantly, interpreting those findings in ways that provide useful guidelines and approaches for those in positions of organizational responsibility. For anyone studying or practicing management in challenging global-oriented contexts this volume is essential Ð and highly interesting Ð reading.Õ Ð Lyman W. Porter, University of California, US ÔThis book is a tour-de-force and a must-read for any scholar and practitioner who is interested in managing global organizations. From such topics as how to motivate, reward, lead, manage conflict, and structure work in different cultural contexts, the authors provide critical insights into how culture shapes all aspects of organizational behavior and a compelling vision of the future that awaits multinational and global organizations. Bravo to the authors for providing the field with a gold mine of information on managing organizations across cultures!Õ Ð Michele Joy Gelfand, University of Maryland, US ÔThis book represents the very best of academic as well as field intensive thinking about cultural and global issues in organizations. While many people have focused on cultural and global issues in the past several decades, the field has largely lacked a systematic review and analysis of these issues in specific contexts. What Bhagat, Triandis and McDevitt offer the reader is a wonderfully comprehensive analysis of key issues of culture in organizations. This is absolutely a ÒmustÓ reading for every serious scholar of global organizations.Õ Ð Chris Earley, Purdue University, US ÔThis is an important book dealing with the increasingly important phenomenon of international business ventures and the globalization of management, markets, and careers. Drs. Bhagat, Triandis, and McDevitt have produced a challenging and highly readable book in which they analyze such key concepts as intercultural communication, job satisfaction in culturally diverse workplaces, the additional workplace stressors brought on by international business alliances, the importance of working with others in groups and on teams charged with task completion, and the transfer of technology among people with different but overlapping skill sets and knowledge. This book will find a valued place in the libraries of international managers, graduate students contemplating careers in international business, and trainers who take on the challenge of preparing people for assignments in countries other than their own.Õ Ð Richard Brislin, University of Hawaii, US ÔIssues of cultural variations in the management of global organizations are of great importance in the 21st century. In developing this book, these three authors bring a wealth of academic knowledge, practical insights from their consulting and worldwide travels in presenting us a coherent picture of how the world of work organizations have changed in response to cultural differences and synergies. The 14 chapters cover all of the important aspects of organization behavior and theory including recent topics like global management focused on the creation and transfer of organizational knowledge. This book is a must read for all students interested in understanding the fundamentals of cultural differences and how they affect the management of global organizations.Õ Ð Kwok Leung, City University of Hong Kong, China The globalization of business is a reality that confronts organizations of all sizes from different nations and cultures. This book serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding the nature of cultural variations that affect important aspects of organizational behavior. The authors expertly cover all of the relevant functions that managers are concerned with in the process of managing global organizations. Various research-based theories and findings are discussed to explain the significance of cultural variations in these phenomena. Readers will gain a clear perspective on how cultural variations have the potential to affect organizational functioning and effectiveness across national borders. A mastery of the fundamental concepts and issues covered in this book will enable future managers of multinational and global corporations to become more effective in dealing with people in different countries and enhance organizational effectiveness on an ongoing basis. Scholars and students will also find this book a path-breaking resource for understanding this important topic.

This is essential reading for any school leader, education reformer, policymaker, or citizen interested in the forces that promote school change. "Giving test results to an incoherent, badly run school doesn't automatically make it a better school. The work of turning a school around entails improving the knowledge and skills of teachers-changing their knowledge of content and how to teach it-and helping them to understand where their students are in their academic development. Low-performing schools, and the people who work in them, don't know what to do. If they did, they would be doing it already." So writes Richard Elmore in "Unwarranted Intrusion," an essay critiquing the accountability mandates and high-stakes testing policies of the No Child Left Behind Act. In School Reform from the Inside Out, one of the country's leading experts on the successes and failures of American education policy tackles issues ranging from teacher development to testing to "failing" schools. As Elmore aptly notes, successful school reform begins "from the inside out" with teachers, administrators, and school staff, not with external mandates or standards.

This book addresses the nature, purpose and processes associated with social impact analysis. Because resource development projects occur in human as well as ecological environments, stakeholders - landowners, companies and governments - are compelled to ensure that the benefits of any project are maximized while the negative risks are minimized. Achieving such objectives means implementing programs which monitor and evaluate the ongoing effects of a project on the social and cultural lives of the impacted populace. This book aims to provide a teaching and training resource for students, social scientists (anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, environmentalists, engineers, etc.) and indigenous personnel and operators who are tasked with community affairs programs in those countries where resource development projects are implemented. The constituent chapters provide how-to guides and frameworks that are generously illustrated with case studies drawn variously from North America and the Asia-Pacific region. Topics addressed include Legal Frameworks and Compliance Procedures, Social Mapping, Environmental Reports, Social and Economic Impact Studies, Social Monitoring Techniques, Project Development, Statistical Packages and Report Production.This book is unique in so far as it seeks to prioritize application over theory. Moreover, it is the first training resource that is sensitive to non-western indigenes' need to assimilate and apply skills engendered by Western countries.
