This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

La Dirección de Operaciones debe ocuparse de la administración y la gestión eficiente de los recursos necesarios para la producción y la prestación de servicios, lo que convierte a esta función empresarial en el pilar básico para la consecución de la competitividad empresarial.

Al mismo tiempo, su carácter práctico, la posibilidad de resolución de los casos sin software específico, la de estudio de un capítulo de forma aislada para resolver un problema específico y la de solución integrada de todas las operaciones, la convierten en la única obra del mercado que presenta una visión global práctica de todos los aspectos de la Dirección de Operaciones, pues acerca al lector a situaciones y planteamientos reales, al ofrecer un gran número de casos prácticos ya resueltos para favorecer el aprendizaje autónomo del lector y otros solo propuestos para destinar un tiempo a su cálculo y su posterior discusión. Se estructura en siete capítulos, de los cuales los tres primeros responden a decisiones de tipo estratégico, como son la determinación de la capacidad y la localización de las plantas industriales, destacando la aplicación práctica del denominado método del transporte y el control de calidad de los distintos procesos empresariales. Los tres capítulos siguientes responden a decisiones tácticas, como la gestión práctica de distintos ti pos de almacenes, el equilibrado en las líneas de ensamblaje y la programación y el control de proyectos en situaciones de incertidumbre y con el estudio de costes asociados a la determinación de su duración.

This text demonstrates how businesses and institutions continue to operate outside the ecological carrying capacity of the environment, and highlights the need for participation and social innovation on their part. It asserts that senior executives and middle management in large corporations have often sought, deliberately or unconsciously, to block the advancement of environmentalism. Industry has reconstructed the more radical environmental agenda to suit its own purposes, in effect hijacking it, by taking it out of its traditional discourse and placing it in a liberal-productivist framework. The book concludes by examining the way forward for more sustainable business, presenting new models that place greater emphasis on issues such as equity and ethics.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Vacant lots on the urban fringe and in central and interstitial areas have affected growth patterns in Latin America. Contributors to this book analyze the problems and opportunities related to vacant urban land in five cities: Buenos Aires, Argentina; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Quito, Ecuador; Lima, Perú; and San Salvador, El Salvador.
