Economic Development Plan

China's peaceful ascent has had a significant impact on the global economic system. There are two major reasons for this: the first and most important is Beijing's peaceful expansionist policies, and the second is its advanced industries and technologies. Their goal is to dominate global raw materials as well as the market through their goods. China has been working hard to promote built-and-road policies around the world in order to attain these aims, but it is also confronting various intra- and inter-level possibilities and obstacles. The purpose of this article is to analyse the Built-Road and the Sino-Pak economic corridor in general, as well as the obstacles and prospects for China's Xinjiang province in particular. Xinjiang's ambitious economic development plan calls for more than $8 billion in spending over the next five years alone. Its goal is to fully integrate Xinjiang into China's booming economy and absorb its people as equal citizens of the multi-ethnic state ruled by Beijing.

This study was conducted to propose the Green Economic Development Plan for Manufacturing S.M.E.s based on financial performance and operations thru Green Initiatives. The descriptive survey method used to gather data to determine the green initiative's implementation of small and medium (S.M.E.s) manufacturing enterprises. Green initiatives use as a basis for crafting a green economic development plan. Document analysis was also employed to obtain data from any available printed materials and records provided by the respondents. Such methods of gathering information used to validate data gathered from local and foreign-related literature. The observation also employed to survey the assets owned and validate any green initiatives practiced, including their implementation. The study's findings show that among the green initiatives implemented by SMMEs, which resulted in the reduction of total costs and expenses, were the proper disposal and segregation of waste materials, water management by recycling wastewater and using water-efficient equipment, natural resources, and raw materials management. SMMEs should encourage active participation and support of suppliers and customers in achieving G.E.D.'s objectives by developing incentive schemes.Furthermore, SMMEs should continue to benchmark with G.E.D. Practitioners are operating locally and abroad to adopt best greening strategies and regularly network with concerned government agencies for continuous updating on G.E.D. Initiatives that may benefit the firm. Further research may be conducted on green initiatives implemented by small and medium enterprises in other industry sectors.

Conceptual Foundations

The aim of the research is to develop the conceptual foundations of the strategy of socio-economic development for mining region (on the example of Kuzbass) under the conditions of the fourth systemic cycle of capitalist accumulation. The relevance of the issue is determined by the need to eliminate the growing lag of Russia behind the world economy leaders, which is impossible without a new vision of the role of resourceproducing regions in the national economic system. Integration of Russia into the capitalist world-system on the basis of the Washington Consensus has formed in it a raw-materials export model in which its natural resources serve the accelerated economic growth of the competing countries. The accumulation of individual capitals dominates the social capital accumulation, which leads to a reduction in Russia's share in world GDP and population. This article presents the conceptual foundations of the Kuzbass development strategy in accordance with the new conditions for the Russian economy performance in the fourth systemic cycle of capitalist accumulation.

This study provides the theoretical framework and empirical model for productivity growth evaluations in agricultural sector as one of the most important sectors in Iran’s economic development plan. We use the Solow residual model to measure the productivity growth share in the value-added growth of the agricultural sector. Our time series data includes value-added per worker, employment, and capital in this sector. The results show that the average total factor productivity growth rate in the agricultural sector is -0.72% during 1991-2010. Also, during this period, the share of total factor productivity growth in the value-added growth is -19.6%, while it has been forecasted to be 33.8% in the fourth development plan. Considering the effective role of capital in the agricultural low productivity, we suggest applying productivity management plans (especially in regards of capital productivity) to achieve future growth goals.

The Subject

The turn of economic events in the early 1970s correlates with a revival of ideas about the existence of long swings in economic development. The subject of Kondratieff cycles has attracted the pens of social scientists of very different persuasions. This paper draws on Walt W. Rostow's interpretation—with its emphasis on the role of exporters of food and raw materials in the world economy—to explore Australian long waves over the last 110 years. I conclude that the case for their existence is not confirmed and moreover that Rostow's cycle-mechanics offer a doubtful explication of movements in the Australian series.

Neither the development of the world economy nor the availability of raw materials can guarantee the stability of economic development and a high level of social welfare. Now Kazakhstan faces the task of accelerated development of national economy sectors that give a multiplicative effect (the share of agricultural products in the country's GDP should grow 5 times by 2050), including the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan has a great potential to become a new driver of economic development. Therefore, the agro-industrial complex of Kazakhstan needs sustainable development of export-oriented agricultural production that is competitive on the world market. Despite the solution of many theoretical and applied problems reflected in the works of these authors, a General approach to the classification of organizational reserves for improving the efficiency of production of scientific-intensive products is not currently formed, and the issues of forming a mezzanine for identifying and using, and evaluating the level of production efficiency require further improvement. The purpose of the research is to develop theoretical, scientific, methodological and practical provisions for the formation of a production management system of innovative potential based on improving the competitiveness of the agricultural industry, aimed at ensuring food security in Kazakhstan. The article shows that the innovative type of economic development requires the development of a competitive innovative potential product, the implementation of the principles of continuous improvement, the search and use of the organization of production for its effective production. The necessity of forming mechanisms for identifying and using organizational reserves to increase the efficiency of production of innovative potential products is also determined. This opened up the possibility of creating and developing conditions conducive to the mobilization of domestic reserves.

Abstrak: Praktik penyelenggaraan SMK di Indonesia saat ini menunjukkan kelemahan-kelemahan sebagai berikut: menyelenggarakan fungsi tunggal, yaitu menyiapkan siswa untuk bekerja, untuk menjadi karyawan, dan kurang menyiapkan untuk menjadi wirausahawan, kurang cepat tanggap terhadap tuntutan-tuntutan pembangunan ekonomi, lemah keselarasannya dengan dunia kerja, dan tidak ada jaminan untuk memperoleh pekerjaan yang layak. Tekanan-tekanan dan faktor-faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK sangat banyak, tetapi beberapa hal berikut harus segera ditanggapi, yaitu rencana pembangunan jangka panjang nasional, cetak biru insan Indonesia cerdas dan kompetitif 2025, master plan percepatan dan perluasan pembangunan ekonomi Indonesia, keanekaragaman kebutuhan masyarakat, kemajuan teknologi, dan tuntutan globalisasi. Agar SMK dapat memainkan peran lebih penting dalam pembangunan ekonomi, SMK harus memperluas fungsinya dari fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model yang menyelenggarakan fungsi majemuk yang selaras dengan kemajemukan kebutuhan masyarakat. Transisi dari SMK fungsi tunggal menjadi SMK Model (fungsi majemuk) memerlukan restrukturisasi dalam kebijakan, perencanaan, penganggaran, kelembagaan, dan sumber daya. Kata Kunci : kelemahan SMK, tekanan dan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap SMK, fungsi tunggal, SMK Model, fungsi majemuk DEVELOPING VOCATIONAL SCHOOL MODEL FOR THE FUTURE Abstract: The current practices of vocational schools in Indonesia mostly show the following weaknesses: offering single function of preparing students for gainful employment, preparing students to become employees and lack of entrepreneurship preparation, slow response to economic development, weak link and match with the world of work, and no guaranttee for graduates to get decent work. The external forces and factors influencing vocational schools are numerous but the followings must be urgently responded: national long range development plan, blue print for national education long range development plan, master plan for accelerating and enlarging national economic development of Indonesia, diversity of society needs particularly the world of work, technological development, and globalization. In order vocational schools to be able to play more important roles in Indonesian economic development, they have to enlarge their functions from solely single function to vocational school model having multiple functions of serving diverse needs of society. The transition from single function to multiple functions requires restructuring policy, planning, budgeting, institutions, and resources required to run vocational school model. Keywords : vocational school weaknesses, vocational school challenges, vocational school model, single function, and multi-functions
