The paper we are presenting here is in essence an interim research report, a summary and preliminary analysis of findings based on a larger study still under way. Thus both the findings and the interpretations are subject to revision as we continue and complete our investigation.

Supervision System

The rapid development of the private economy in China has put forward higher requirements for a sound supervision system in the enterprises. However, compared to the sate-owned enterprises or listed private enterprises, because of the lack of the official constraints or guidance on the internal audit, the development of internal audit in unlisted private enterprises are still facing many problems. This paper conducted questionnaire-based investigation on the unlisted private enterprises in Yancheng of Northern Jiangsu Province in China, in order to obtain detailed information related to the internal audit of unlisted private enterprises. Through the analysis on the information gathered from questionnaires and the typical study on the case of a large-scale unlisted private enterprise, SD group in Yancheng, suggestions were put forward to improve the current situation of internal audit in unlisted private enterprises in Yancheng, which also can help to promote the development of private economy in Yancheng, and thus contribute to the economic development in Jiangsu, or even in the whole China.

History Of

Was 1993 a happening year or was 1993 a happening year! A number of significant events, in national as well as global terms, occurred. It was: the centenary year of Women’s Suffrage in Aotearoa; the International Year of the World’s Indigenous People, linking “an estimated 250 million indigenous people in more than seventy countries around the world” (Te Puni Kokiri, 1993a); an election year; and the final year of the Development Decade, which was outlined as the third objective of the kawenata, the covenant, declared by Maoridom at the Hui Taumata, the Maori Economic Development Summit held in 1984, marked in Te Rapa this year with the holding of the 1993 National Commercial and Economic Development Conference, organised by the Ki Tua o Te Arai Trust (Te Puni Kokiri, 1993b). Each of these events has major implications for Maori education during 1993 and beyond. Analyses of the implications of these events for Maori education provide the major organising themes for this paper. The events of 1993 have stimulated much critical debate, research and scholarly analyses of the issues they encompass. We will all be the richer for the publication of these new works. Numerous conferences have been held and books launched. Some of the books capturing this year’s themes with significance for Maori education include: Standing in the Sunshine (Coney, 1993); Maori Women and the Vote (Rei, 1993); Nga Mahi Whakaari a Titokowaru, Ruka Broughton’s previously unpublished draft doctoral thesis (Broughton, 1993) (the first Maori text on Titokowaru to be published, following the two previously published texts in English by Pakeha writers); Learning Liberation: Women as Facilitators of Learning (Manchester and O’Rourke, 1993); Te Ara Tika: Maori and Libraries – A Research Report (MacDonald, 1993); Educating Feminists: Life Histories and Pedagogy (Middleton, 1993); Te Maori i roto i nga Mahi Whakaakoranga – Maori in Education (Davies and Nicholl, 1993); Women Together: A History of Women’s Organisations in New Zealand (Else et al., 1993); and Te Hikoi Marama, Volume 2 – A Directory of Maori Information Resources (Szekely, 1993)...

The Difference

Natural resources play a role in economic development, but the exact nature and importance of that role is a matter of dispute. The spectacular development of natural resource poor Japan compared with a, say, relatively well endowed Argentina certainly indicates that the lack of resources need not undully hinder development while their abundance does not insure rapid growth. Much of the difference lies, undoubtedly, with the human and institutional factors.

The Relationship

This paper examined the relationship between economic development and threats to national parks. Many Authors have suggested that the type and intensity of threats to parks may be influenced by the socio-economic characteristics of the region where the park is located. This idea was tested, using a stratified sample (N=135) of the world's national parks, with data derived from a survey of park managers.

Over Time

The research aims to propose a methodology to estimate the reliability of the Brazilian airport network (domestic passenger traffic), based on the centrality of airports (Network Theory). The applied methodologies are related to Network Theory, a branch of Graph Theory, and reliability. Reliability is associated with the good functioning of a product or system, the absence of breaks or failures in each period and the environmental conditions of use of the item. The data used refer to the period 2000-2018 and were obtained from the sector's regulatory body in Brazil. The study allows to estimate the reliability of the airport network, based on the centrality of airports (Network Theory). The results allow airports to be classified into three groups: adequate context, worrying context and critical context, thus signalling airports that may stop operating regular domestic traffic. The study does not aim to overlap or replace conventional analyses, recognized by the results, and applied over time. However, to present a new tool that allows the monitoring and preliminary analysis of airport networks, mainly domestic and regional networks, signalling to airport operators, regulators, and airlines the need for intervention (measures to reverse the trend) in the network, thus allowing, economic development and equitable access to all regions.

Stages Of Economic Development

It has been argued in the literature that. capital formation is the key to economic development. Apart from expansion in productive capacity, capital formation is also a source of embodied technical change and progressive modernization. Although aid could be a source of capital formation, it is undependable and inconsistent with the phrase that capital is made at home [Nurkse (1953)]. Agriculture, being a sector of major proportions in developing countries holds a pivotal position as a major contributor to capital formation. In the early stages of economic deVelopment, it must fund industrialization, finance capital imports and act as a ready market for industrial goods. It may, however, be remembered that agricUlture can play this role only within certain limits and that excessive resource transfers from agricUlture can prove to be self-defeating and must be avoided [Timmer (1988)]. What has been the role of Pakistan's agriculture in this respect, is a controversial issue. There are studies [Hamid (1970); Khan (1985) and Qureshi (1987)] that hold that agriculture's role in capital formation in Pakistan has, at best, been dismal. Others [Chaudhry (1973); Government of Pakistan (1986, 1988)] have argued that agriculture in Pakistan was heavily taxed and made significant contributions to economic de,:elopment. The controversy arises as the former set of studies dealt with direct taxes alone as against the coverage of local and indirect taxes and taxes implicit in price and exchange rate policies in the latter.
