quality planting materials to the peasants and the other concerned users. 2 State of knowledge on in vitro micropropagation of Jatropha curcas Recent publications lay emphasis on in vitro multiplication of Jatropha curcas. Research protocols on mass production of plantlets from different explants of Jatropha curcas have initially been elaborated by Sujatha and Dhingra (1993). They obtained the formation of buds with a combination of 2.2 or 4.4 µM of N6benzyladénine (BA), and 4.9 µM of indol-3-butyric

lean manufacturing, specifically Just-in-Time manufacturing The predominant view in the literature is that “lean manufacturing is a performance/practice state that is antecedent to agile manufacturing” Agile is the latest step in the evolution from mass production, to Just-in-Time to lean to agile Agile manufacturing assimilates the full range of flexible production technologies, along with the lessons learned from TQM, JIT, and lean production Agile manufacturing can be achieved by utilizing and integrating

developments represent robust and often successful responses by individual farmers to the economic pressures they face. As such they can be the basis of higher profitability and greater income stability. However, they will not resolve the problem for the mass of farm output that has to reach an urban population who wish to minimise time spent shopping as well as time in the kitchen.

(meda-9) countries. To this end, a panel data set over the period 1960-2004 was used. Our results suggest that the foreign presence does not increase productivity in a panel of 63 countries. On the other hand, education has a positive and significant effect on productivity in the whole of the sample (although its impact on economic growth is negative). These results remain the same in the case of meda-9 countries. We show finally a strong correlation between the quality of human resources and fdi spillovers

A serious of studies claims that the longer the relationship with a customer, the higher the profit will be. What can be observed here is the loyalty effect. It cannot be forgotten that within a company there are two kinds of customers, external and internal (our employees). What follows, long-term relationships are needed also inside the organisation[18], ▪ Win-win. Effective collaboration in a

What mattered for the Foucault of post1968 Vincennes and the 1970s was “experience with . . . rather than engagement in”. . . (quoted in Rabinow 1997, p.xix. [My emphasis]). “Who one was, Foucault wrote, emerges acutely out of the problems with

This means that the customers “moments of truth” when they interact with hotel staff will be minimal and therefore that much more important. So, the welcome must be conceived
