The TFM should provide a review of the evaluation of two SMEs' experiences doing business in Egypt. The experiences of the two SMEs will demonstrate the business opportunities and obstacles that engineering and technology-based SMEs face in emerging economies. The two chosen SMEs are different in terms of sector and nationality to provide a good perspective. The first SME is an Egyptian company working in the renewable energy that has a success story collaborating in Egyptian governmental project with Spanish, Chinese and Saudi partners. The second SME is a Canadian company working in the construction sector that is entering the Egyptian market to provide a new construction technology solution using wood and clay as a construction material instead of steel reinforced concrete. Both companies not only share the size or the status of start-up growing to medium but also share the first mover advantage as they both introducing new technologies to the Egyptian market. The TFM will attempt to identify, evaluate and analyse the opportunities and barriers both companies face doing business in Egypt either with public or private sector. The TFM shall provide a review of the evaluation of the two cases through conducting interviews with the companies CEOs, the executive teams, and the clients. At least one specific project for each of the two SMEs will be analysed and reviewed as a case study. The objective is to share the analysis of both companies experiences so future engineering and technology companies, either from the same country or from abroad, interested in working in emerging economies in general or in Egypt specifically can better manage their risks. ; A process to collect and analyze the data about each SME and the chosen project shall be standardized for both. A questionnaire shall be developed and answered by both CEOs through a series of interviews conducted by the TFM author. After collecting the operational / technical, financial data and historical data of both the SMEs and each of their chosen projects, a comparison will be made between the two SMEs to identify any possible patterns of opportunities and barriers. The conclusion of the TFM will be suggesting guidelines for internationalization and growth strategies for engineering and technology-based SMEs considering entering an emerging economy in general or the Egyptian market specifically.

Die Sportverbände stehen im Wettbewerb mit anderen Verbänden, mit kommerziellen Anbietern, aber auch mit neuartigen Freizeitangeboten. Die Sportverbände kon-kurrieren mit anderen Anbietern um Mitglieder, potenziellen Mitgliedern, Zuschauern, Sponsoren und Medien. Wenn die Sportverbände in diesem Wettbewerb bestehen wollen, müssen sie die Nachfragewünsche erkennen und erfüllen. Das wird durch eine gute Planung im Marketing erreicht.Die Vermarktungsmethoden, wie sie in der klassischen Vermarktungslehre beschrieben werden, beruhen auf der Freiheit des Marktes. Die Sportmärkte in Ägypten und Deutschland sind jedoch nicht völlig frei, da der jeweilige Staat den Markt stark reguliert, jedoch unterscheidet sich der Regulierungsumfang der beiden Länder und der deutsche Sportmarkt ist freier. Hier soll un-tersucht werden, wie die Verbände ihre Angebote auf einem Markt mit staatlicher Einflussnahme vermarkten können. Dazu müssen einerseits die Bedingungen der Vermarktung, sowohl die in der jeweiligen Sportorganisation als auch das Vermarktungsumfeld untersucht werden, um zu wissen, welche Faktoren auf die Vermarktung Einfluss haben.Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, das Marketing-Management zwischen den deutschen und ägyptischen Verbänden auch unter den Bedingungen eines nur teilweise freien Marktes zu vergleichen. Die Wichtigkeit dieser Untersuchung ist anderseits, dass sie durch die ausführliche Analyse die heutige Sportmarketing-Situation in Ägypten und in Deutschland erklärt. Hierzu wurden zehn ägyptische und acht deutsche Sportspitzenverbände im Jahre 2001 mit einem umfangreichen quantitativen Fragebogen analysiert. Die Auswertung zeigt die wesentlichen sozialen, ökonomischen und politischen Faktoren in Deutschland und Ägypten, die eine wirkende Rolle in der Formulierung der Marketing-Strategie bei den Sportverbänden spielen.Die Ergebnisse der gegenwärtigen Untersuchung zeigen die Wechselwirkung des Marketing-Managements mit dem von dem Verband angeboten Einzelsportarten oder Mannschaftssportarten. Das Image der Sportarten spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei der Planung der Marketingaktivitäten der Sportverbände. Der Sport, der als Berufssport bekannt ist, stellt einen wichtigen Faktor in der Marketing-Management Methodik dar. Beispielsweise haben die Sportverbände für die Leichtathletik, das Boxen und den Fußball eine große Anzahl von Sponsoren, die die sportlichen Veranstaltungen sponsern. Die Ergebnisse der gegenwärtigen Untersuchung zeigen, dass die Marketing-Management Methodik als Beziehungsform von Staat und Sportorganisation einen großen Einfluss haben wird. ; The sport federations stand in competition with other federations, with commercial and new leisure enterprises.

In the recent years the "black economy" has held immense
attraction for academics as well as policy-makers. This is because the
presence of the black economy is responsible for distortions in the
official estimates of macro-economic variables like income generation,
employment, rate of inflation, etc., and thus the possible effect on the
economic policies cannot be ascertained properly. It, therefore, becomes
imperative to investigate this area of research. Researchers have
defined the underground economy in alternative ways. The underground
economy defined by varied names like black, shadow, hidden, informal,
clandestine, second, parallel economy has been divided in four
categories for the use of a standard basis of classification [Feige
(1990)].

"Water, soil, plants, and animals are the main pillars that support global food security. Plants grow using nutrients from water and soil resources and then used by animals which affects them consequently. Water is the essential condition of life for all living beings, and soil is its support and a crucial reservoir. The interactions between the Water-Soil-Plant-Animal nexus and climate change are of increasing concern to scholars, decision-makers, and researchers. The impacts of climate change on these resources include water and soil quality degradation, infectious disease, shortage, desertification, and erosion. These impacts are accelerated due to human pressure through over-use and pollution.Water-Soil-Plant-Animal Nexus in the Era of Climate Change includes relevant theoretical approaches, empirical research, and bibliometric and bibliographic methods to bring together affordable methods and techniques to optimize the use of the nexus in the context of climate change. It presents an inventory of techniques and practices in the field, and introduces an opportunity to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of these techniques, making it ideal for scholars, researchers, planners, and decision-makers."--

"Institutional Racism investigates the factors that created and maintain institutional racism through exploring the role of epistemicide, white frames, and white privilege in sustaining the illusionary status of equality and justice in a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism. The book uses critical race theory, post colonialism and insidious trauma to reveal a victim perspective that documents the cumulative psychological and physical harms of institutional racism. The chapters present an understanding of the factors that created institutional racism through exploring the role of colonialism in creating institutional racism and the construction of truth and knowledge in promoting epistemicide to maintain a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism, demonstration of how epistemicide and colonialism facilitated the existence of white privilege, and white frames to create the mechanisms that sustain institutional racism. The book studies how epistemicide, critical race theory, post colonialism, and insidious trauma can be used to reveal the illusionary status of equality and justice in a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism and move towards a victim perspective of institutional racism that documents the cumulative psychological and physical harms of institutional racism. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students and scholars of criminology, sociology, criminal justice, history, law, and politics, particularly those studying on courses related to race, ethnicity and theory"--
