This study discusses how best to identify the obstacles that separate people from markets in the context of the global economy. The answer lies in the same dynamic that is shaping global competition, namely, the increasing role of global supply chains in world trade. That naturally leads to the question of how policymakers could best utilize the same tools, particularly those used for making sourcing and investment decisions, employed by globally engaged firms in their own operations to develop an integrated trade and development strategy. What follows is a discussion of how policymakers in developing countries, as well as international financial institutions and development assistance agencies, might use these tools to create such a strategy.

This report analyses the sequence of labour market support that individuals receive and evaluates two large public works programmes. It uses rich administrative data and finds positive labour market impacts of the Community Employment and Tús employment programmes. Building on the results of the analyses, the report makes recommendations on how Ireland can further adapt its active labour market policies (ALMPs) to better support its current and future jobseekers. This report on Ireland is the thirteenth country study published in a series of reports on policies to connect people with jobs, and is part of a joint project with the European Commission to strengthen countries’ capacity to evaluate ALMPs. The report is written jointly by the OECD, the Department of Social Protection of Ireland and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

Consumers are also increasingly connected with brands and seek to play a more participative role in their relationship with companies, stimulating companies to reconsider how to connect with consumers. This book consists of a collection of chapters by thought-leaders in the field of marketing and beyond that deals with the rich facets of connectivity. This edited volume is a great source of research ideas and fresh theory building for academics and students in marketing and related fields who wish to understand this exciting field. It will be a source of inspiration for practitioners who are eager to take up the challenge and adapt their marketing strategies to the changing nature of consumer and business markets.
