4.1 Institutions, markets and development: Working Out of Poverty
| |
| One of the leading thinkers about the importance of institutions and
rules to making markets work for development, Nobel laureate Professor
Douglass North, has explained that societies evolve institutions to “reduce
uncertainty by providing a structure to everyday life”. He argues that this is
essential to organizing the productive division of labour and that “institutions
affect the performance of the economy by their effect on the costs of
exchange and production”. He also stresses that many of the rules guiding
daily behaviour are informal and that effective institutions for governing
markets are a blend of socially accepted norms and laws underpinned by
shared values. |

Getting Support in Times of Change
| |
| As a coach and a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with hundreds of people each year who are going through dramatic change of some kind or another, and are in need of support from their families, friends, colleagues and others. We often discuss what healthy support is, and how it feels when we receive support that gives us the strength and confidence to persevere.

Tender Writing
| |
| Numerous organisations and institutions require various services and products that they may not have direct access so they need to acquire the services of other companies to provide these goods them. In order for these organisations and institutions to access the best services at the best price, service providers are required to present tenders outlining their services and their costs. Tender writing and proposal writing are therefore vital skills for companies who wish to provide services and products to other organisations and institutions. |
