Muitas pessoas confundem a palavra que ouvem regularmente, empreendedorismo, com a palavra de que vamos falar neste livro, intra-empreendedorismo. A diferença é apenas entre ENTREPRENEURSHIP e INTRAPRENEURSHIP. Mas de onde vem exatamente esta nova palavra? A palavra intraempreendedorismo apareceu pela primeira vez na década de 1970, nos escritos de Gifford e Elizabeth Pinchot. A palavra refere-se a uma categoria de trabalhadores-empresários que têm ideias e que, se não conseguirem exprimi-las no seio da sua organização, podem eventualmente deixar a empresa para as explorar por conta própria, como empresários. O intra-empreendedorismo, tal como a inovação participativa, uma abordagem construtiva em que os trabalhadores são convidados a propor soluções inovadoras e a contribuir para a sua aplicação, permite insuflar criatividade, flexibilidade e agilidade nas organizações tradicionais, que tendem a ser complexas, estáticas ou mesmo rígidas.

Many people confuse the word they hear regularly, entrepreneurship, with the word we'll be talking about in this book, intrapreneurship. The difference is just between ENTREPRENEURSHIP and INTRAPRENEURSHIP. But where exactly does this new word come from? The word intrapreneurship first appeared in the 1970s in the writings of Gifford and Elizabeth Pinchot. The word refers to a category of worker-entrepreneurs who have ideas and who, if they are unable to express them within their organisation, may eventually leave the company to exploit them on their own, as entrepreneurs. Intrapreneurship, in the same vein as participative innovation, a constructive approach in which employees are invited to propose innovative solutions and contribute to their implementation, makes it possible to breathe a breath of creativity, flexibility and agility into traditional organisations that tend to be complex, static or even rigid.

We are in the midst of a major transformation of our society for the future. On the one hand, this transformation concerns tools (computers, smartphones, software...), but it also concerns living together, i.e. the relationship between human beings and the way we live as a community, with or without the intermediation of these objects and networks. This concept is increasingly becoming a reality in a country like Cameroon. Our society (Cameroon included) is going through unprecedented upheavals. The book 'Communicating in a virtual world' is a compilation of papers from the very first colloquium organized by Maaron Business School (ISTG-AC), and edited by Professor Alain Ndedi.

Il rischio è di fondamentale importanza per le organizzazioni. Le aziende devono identificare, valutare, gestire e comunicare molti tipi di rischio per migliorare il processo decisionale esterno. Il rischio può essere classificato in vari modi e può essere percepito in vari modi. Mentre i principi del rischio e il processo di gestione del rischio sono generici e applicabili a tutti i campi del rischio, la segnalazione, la gestione e il monitoraggio di specifici tipi di rischio variano a seconda delle organizzazioni. Questo libro affronta le questioni relative al rischio, al monitoraggio e alla gestione del rischio e ai sistemi di allerta precoce.

This book entitled "Project Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation for Impacts¿ aims to support learners in becoming more results-oriented in their initiatives. The book recognizes that planning, monitoring and evaluation is paramount in project management. Recognizing that results" planning is a prerequisite for effective program design, monitoring and evaluation, the book integrates planning, monitoring and evaluation in a single document. It is known that project management practices and procedures operate across a wide range of applications, from agricultural projects in Africa to complex engineering projects in Australia. Project management is, perhaps, the world¿s first truly international area of professional practice. The growth of project management as an international discipline has been driven by the growth in the complexity of projects around the world. People have always developed projects. In their simplest form projects are one- off or unique. They have a single aim and a series of separate definable objectives. They have a finite lifespan and they are usually intended to bring about change.

The title of this book is: ¿Organisational Behaviour from An African perspective.¿ It is common to hear from managers, CEOs, engineers, and all kind of professionals that organisational behaviour (OB) is a key strategic issue and a source of competitive advantages of all organisations. Indeed, issues related to organisational behaviour are among the most relevant decisions that managers need to take if they want to answer proactively to the challenges faced by the organisations. Conscious of this reality, the authors of this book, have developed through this volume, a curriculum of subjects usually presented in an MBA program, focusing on challenges managers face in their daily activities. The emphasis in this book are subjects related to strategic and operational human resource management, organisational behaviour, equal opportunities and diversity management. Based on the core subjects presented in this book, everyone interested will be able to obtain the necessary knowledge that can be applied as a whole to a variety of real-world business situations.

The book entitled Methodology to country risk analysis is a chef oeuvre of academics who want to contribute to this untapped area from an African perspective. For many years, the discipline of country risk was belonging to the category of issues that are difficult to understand because information was fragmented or incomplete. For example, Banks knew neither the size of their loan exposure or to which countries they had lent. Corporations and investors had neither the information nor the means to assess the risks lurking in the shadows of seemingly profitable cross border transactions. Country risk was considered an opaque, unpleasant fact of life better left in the hands of international bodies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the export credit agencies. However, in today¿s global economy wired to the World Wide Web, all this has changed. Information has become abundant, cheap and almost instantaneous as countries compete in transparency to attract foreign direct investment and portfolio capital. The problem is no longer a lack of timely information. It is rather one of deciding which information is important and then knowing how to process it.

The present book entitled ¿Components of Financial Markets¿ is a compilation of literature related to financial markets. In essence, the major purpose of financial markets is to transfer funds from lenders to borrowers. Financial market participants commonly distinguish between the capital markets" and the "money market," with the latter term generally referring to borrowing and lending for periods of a year or less. The need for a money market arises because receipts of economic units do not coincide with their expenditures. Thus, money market instruments are generally characterized by a high degree of safety. Maturities range from one day to one year; the most common are three months or less. Active secondary markets for most of the instruments allow them to be sold prior to maturity. Unlike organized securities or commodities exchanges, the money market has no specific location. In Central Africa, it is centered in Douala, at the Douala Stock Exchange, but since it is primarily a telephone market it is supposed to be easily accessible from all parts of the sub region as well as from foreign international financial centers.

The entitled ¿Principles on Forensic Accounting Investigation¿ is a chef d¿oeuvre written by Professor Alain Ndedi based on multiples reading and lectures in the field of forensic accounting. It must be recognized that the demand for forensic accounting continues to grow almost on a daily basis. Accounting and business publications alike predict the trend requiring more forensic accountants will only continue. Forensic accounting has been described on many campuses and within many public accounting firms¿ recruiting offices as the hottest area of accounting sought by candidates eager to enter the field of accounting. In response, colleges and universities have been feverishly adding courses and degree programs at the certificate, undergraduate, and graduate levels, trying to address the demands of students anxious to learn more about this field.
