Empirical Evidence: Does Human Capital Matter?
Although the theoretical literature on FDI presumes human capital to be among the key ingredients of inward FDI (Dunning, 1988; Lucas, 1990; and Zhang and Markusen, 1999), there are only few cross-country analyses done to identify the determinants of inward FDI in developing countries.

5.1 Determinants of diversification in Africa: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Diversification and policy variables constitute a two-way process in that diversification not only influences policy outcomes, but is itself influenced by policy variables. This proposition naturally leads to the search for those economic and non-economic policy actions that are likely to affect the level and rate of diversification in a country. What evidence is there that links economic and non-economic variables with national capacity to diversify?
5.1 It is not just a matter of policy as institutions matter in diversification efforts: Economic Report on Africa 2007
Governance is one of the variables that capture the part that institutions play and it emerges as strongly significant. In fact, in absolute terms, looked at from the regional level, governance has stronger marginal effects compared to other variables in our investigations.
Policy Implications
The empirical work undertaken highlights a number of key policy-related and conventional variables that have significantly affected the growth performance of sub-Saharan Africa during 1981–97. To a large extent, it has also shown that the positive evolution of these variables has played an important role in the economic recovery of the region during 1995–97.

6.3.2 Group empowerment: For-profit and NGO training activities
The new approach to skill development tends to be more overtly political in that its primary focus is to support collective action among groups of the poor and, particularly women, in order to achieve specific economic, social and political objectives. Self-help associations (SHA) have become one of the main institutional mechanisms for achieving this. There are two main types of SHA- work-related (i.e. trade or occupation) and community-based.

Office Politics: Survival of the Savvy
Tales of political sabotage, power plays and turf wars are part of any organization’s history. Nonetheless, political competence is the one skill everyone wishes to have more of — but no one talks about it.
Understand the Variables: How Lenders Vary their Rates
When someone is interested in taking out a mortgage, a fair amount of research will need to be looked into. This is because lenders, both public and private, will vary their rates depending on a certain number of variables. To understand these variables, it's important to break them down into what sorts of things a lender looks for. An obvious variable is credit. Those with good credit will clearly be able to pay lower rates than those with bad, because they are less of a liability. Though it seems almost counterintuitive to charge those with a history of not paying people back more money, this is one of the factors that are used.
The Political Failures of the Baby Boomers, and the Challenges for the Next Generation
The Boomers' failures are distributed uniformly from Right to Left. But given the liberal-leaning Boomers' original rise from the 1960s counterculture, their weak-kneed absorption into the partisan political establishment is most ironic. The generation that fought for free speech and the right to question authority now enforces strict political correctness and quashes political dissent from their tenured posts in academia.

How Much Of Our Lives Will We Let Them Take Over?
Sometimes I really have to wonder about the "political correctness" of California, one of my home states. In fact, in California, "political correctness" is really just a politically-correct term for "liberal insanity." And these days, it seems the state's PC Police have a real thing about the U.S. flag.

Poltical Savvy and Employees
Political savvy has little to do with one’s place in the hierarchy. All employees can use political savvy regardless of their position in the organization. The truth is you can engage in several activities without considering yourself a “political person.” For example: - relationship building - valuing diversity - persuasive communication - information gathering - networking - team involvement

Political Savvy for the Average Employee
What can political savvy mean to the average employee in the workplace? If you have ever watched TV sitcom The Office you probably have a good idea of what political savvy is not about. While the office politics of The Office employees may seem funny on TV, in the real world of work these behaviors could kill your career or even get you fired.
