Description: The days when it was thought that the development process could and should be managed by governments alone are long past. The challenge today is how to involve other parts of society such as the private sector and NGOs. This book details the activities of the private sector in developing and emerging economies and demonstrates how these activities are inter-related with government policies. Understanding these activities and public-private interactions is indispensable for the private sector to play its full role in a nation's development process. To this end, several case studies provide concrete examples from Africa, Asia and elsewhere (including: "white goods"--Large household appliances--in China, Mexico and Turkey; tourism in Mozambique; film animation in the Philippines; and aircraft in China).--Publisher's description.
