“…It has also resulted in huge foreign direct investments (FDI) inflows into the gold mining sector and resultant influx of Western multinationals into the sector. The present state of ownership of gold mining companies in Ghana indicates this 'subsidiarity' control of vast mining concessions (Shima, 2004;Dansereau, 2005). Recently Eshun and Jellicoe (2011) revealed that not a single gold mining company is wholly owned by the government of Ghana and/or Ghanaian investors.…”

Privatisation of Ghanaian state-owned enterprises has resulted in domination ofWestern multinational companies (MNCs) in the gold mining industry. Consequently, expatriate managers dominate industry. The Government of Ghana, realising the problem of national managerial gap in industry has made development of national managers pre-condition for granting of mining lease to MNCs entering the industry. This is an attempt to 'empower' national managers for eventual takeover from expatriates.The paper reports on a research project that sought to investigate the operation of MNCs in the gold mining industry of Ghana with respect to considering how their HR policies and practices are enhancing the development of local managerial talent.Twenty-six national managers were interviewed to collate views on their talent development (by MNCs) in industry. Resultant data discussed using critical discourse analysis, a problem identification of problem solving method based on text and language. Discussion of qualitative data reveals domination of Western ideas and practices in developing national managers -approach which does not go well with local managerial talent development. The paper concludes by recommending further research into managerial development approach that suits the Ghanaian context.

Privatization—defined here as the transfer of ownership of state-owned organizations to private parties—has attracted the attention of scholars across multiple fields. Privatization programs have been based on the assumption, grounded in microeconomic theory, that a shift from public to private ownership will incentivize more efficient management of available resources. However, failure to deliver the expected outcomes in some cases and the more nuanced perspective on state-ownership offered by recent research in management seem to challenge this assumption, calling for revisiting this literature. Our comparative review of existing studies suggests that the mixed results of privatization programs could be partly explained by what was privatized, how it was privatized, and the regulatory regime under which it was privatized. By doing so, our review provides conceptual clarity and structure to a rich but fragmented body of literature, making seemingly divergent findings more legible, outlining theoretical gaps, and identifying avenues for future exploration.

Analisam-se as implicações da produção de software no Paraná. Como produção de bem intangível, há contribuições para a expansão do Sistema Setorial de Inovação. O foco da análise é o Centro Internacional de Tecnologia de Software e sua trajetória natural em direção à capacitação para a inovação radical de forma híbrida. Discute-se a integração entre os conceitos de Sistema Nacional de Inovação e Triple Helix (TH) e apresenta-se sua evolução no Brasil e no Paraná (Sistema Local). O software é a pura expressão do atual paradigma tecnológico. É necessária uma forte política de desenvolvimento centrada nas tecnologias de informação, em função do papel revolucionário exercido nas economias centrais. O CITS se encaixa perfeitamente nessa nova dinâmica, estabelecendo uma estratégia clara de aquisição de competências e construindo uma rede de conhecimento nos níveis micro, meso e macroeconômico. A evolução da fase atual do CITS implicará uma forte ação da TH.
