Even less is known about what factors these expatriate leaders experience that could explain, and help define, the success, or lack thereof, they achieve managing the implementation of these projects.This book is essential reading for international development leaders, practitioners, and scholars, as well as foreign aid policymakers, as they seek to improve international development.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Weight: 375gAuthor: Patricia McLaughlinGenre: Business & FinanceRelease Year: 2021 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
