- The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Health Partnerships
Step aside, Stephen Covey. Kent Buse and Andrew M. Harmer have discovered seven new highly effective habits. And theirs may help rid the world of its more deadly diseases, rather than just upping people's productivity. Buse and Harmer spell out their seven prescriptions for successful public-private health partnerships which are global initiatives that include both public and corporate sectors in their decision making - in the January 2007 issue of Social Science and Medicine. The authors, who work with the Overseas Development Institute, a British international development think tank, first reviewed evaluations of 23 established cross-sector health programs. They then pinpointed seven deadly sins that global health partnerships routinely commit.

- Managing Continuous Improvement in Vietnam: Unique Challenges and Approaches to Overcome Them
As Vietnam emerges into world markets, Vietnamese organizations are facing the predicament of how to avoid the low-cost labor trap and move up the production value-chain by improving quality and productivity. Continuous improvement (CI) practices have proved fundamental to building and sustaining competitive advantage in other Asian countries such as Japan, Singapore, and Malaysia. If Vietnamese organizations are to pursue higher value-added activities, CI will be critical for them, too. Despite the tremendous interest in Vietnam from the international business community, little research on Vietnamese management practices has been done, particularly on the use of CI techniques. The language barrier, lack of reliable business data, and the culture of government and corporate secrecy in V...
