El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los métodos de evaluación de las inversiones a largo plazo en activos fijos, tecnología y capacitación del recurso humano, utilizados por el sector farmacéutico del estado de Zulia (Venezuela). Metodológicamente, es de tipología descriptiva, con un diseño no experimental de campo y transversal. La población fue constituida por las siete (7) farmacias inscritas y activas en el Registro Municipal de la Alcaldía Bolivariana del municipio Jesús Enrique Lossada del Estado de Zulia al mes de mayo de 2015. Se utilizó el cuestionario estructurado como instrumento de recolección de datos aplicado a los gerentes y/o administradores, quienes fueron las unidades informantes; el mismo fue validado por cinco (5) expertos y mediante el nivel de confiabilidad, siendo el Alpha-Cronbach de 0,89. Los resultados demuestran que si bien pocas empresas acuden a los métodos tradicionales para evaluar las inversiones en propiedades, planta, equipos y tecnología, la mayoría aplica los destinados a evaluar inversiones en capacitación del talento humano. En conclusión, los métodos menos usados son aquellos que requieren la aplicación de fórmulas aritméticas (VPN, TIR, IR), evidenciando así que estas empresas carecen de personal calificado para usar e interpretar estos últimos. Se recomienda maximizar su uso para garantizar la salud financiera de estas organizaciones, así como aplicar los correctivos cuando la capacitación brindada al trabajador no produzca el efecto esperado. ABSTRACTThis article aims to analyze the methods of assessing long-term investments in fixed assets, technology and training of human resources used by the pharmaceutical sector of Zulia (Venezuela). Methodologically, the typology is descriptive, with a non-experimental field not a cross design. The chosen sample consisted of seven (7) registered and duly active pharmacies in the Municipal Register of the Bolivarian Mayor City of Losada - State of Zulia in May 2015. A well structured questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection applied to managers and / or administrators who were reporting units. It was validated by five (5) experts and the level of reliability using the Cronbach Alpha was 0.89. Results show that while only a few companies flock to traditional methods to evaluate investments in property, plant, equipment and technology, the majority applies them to assess the investment used for the training of human talent. In conclusion, the least used methods are those that require the application of arithmetic formulas (NPV, IRR, IR) thus showing that these companies lack qualified personnel for the use and interpretation of these methods. It is strongly recommended, in order to maximize its use, to ensure that these organizations are financially healthy, and at the same time proceed to apply the necessary correctives when the training provided to the worker does not produce the desired effect.

Green paradigm is emerging in Asia.  In order to achieve  sustainability, embracing green paradigm is critical.  The growing significance of sustainability is having a major impact on business, industry, and society as a whole. Hence, preparing the future workforce for the coming green economy is a challenging task for many Asian countries especially in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the post-2015 agenda.  As a ground work, transforming TVET in Asia to meet the challenges of the green economy for the purpose of sustainability should begin now.   The aim of this paper is to map the sustainable development in terms of green mindset, lifestyle, economy, education, training, employability and sustainability in selected Asian countries. A country’s quantum leap or leap-frogging in sustainable economy is dependent of its transformation of human resources especially in TVET sector. Thus, TVET should be transformed to fit the requirements of the sustainable green paradigm.  The results posit the country’s policies, best practices, and challenges toward green economy in order to achieve sustainable development.   Finally, the implication of green paradigm on TVET system in selected countries in the Asia Pacific will be discussed.

This article is concerned with the role of social partners in shaping the green economy. By reviewing a number of best practices, the Author explores the strategic contribute of social partners in outlining the green agenda and driving the economy towards more sustainable pathways. Specifically, linking variable pay to green objectives represents an effective incentive for workers and management to implement green practices. Collective bargaining on green salary is therefore regarded as a key instrument in greening the workplaces. Moreover, the dynamism of the green labour market requires actions aimed at promoting vocational education and training, as well as anticipating future skill needs. In this connection, social partners are supposed to play a fundamental role too.

Abstract The Conservation Agriculture (CA) system promoted by Total LandCare (TLC) and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) is based on 14 years of experience grounded on the principles of minimum soil disturbance, good soil cover and crop associations. The platform to promote CA in Malawi was to build a strong base of knowledge about best practices through an innovative non-linear research-extension approach. Long-term on-farm trials were conducted in multiple sites across Malawi to compare yields and labour inputs of CA with conventional ridge tillage on the same footing. Results showed the superiority of CA in terms of maize and legume yields with significant savings in labour and resilience to climate change. The results provided the basis to upscale CA although adoption was lower than expected. Key challenges included: (i) lack of exposure and training; (ii) conflicting extension messages; (iii) misconceptions about inputs and tools for CA; (iv) resistance to change unless CA is clearly seen to be a better practice; (v) fears about controlling weeds, pests and diseases under CA; and (vi) perceptions that increased termites and earthworms are harmful to soils and crops.
