...water course and where, as humans settled, simple logic demanded that they become part of a community." (Source: United States Environment Protection Agency - http://water.epa.gov/type/watersheds/whatis.cfm) There are various reasons for why watershed management is also ecosystem management. As mentioned in the definition above a watershed is a system which links all living things together along with humans, the whole becoming a single community. Watershed development refers to the conservation of all natural resources within a particular watershed. Watershed management is about bringing a balance between the environment and the natural resources within them with the human beings and other living beings in the area. Each watershed is unique and includes a combination of elements which one has to take into account in order to maintain the watershed and land around it. An ecosystem, each watershed results in various interactions such as land use by humans, industries and other activities of the community as all of them are dependant on water for various uses. It has to be ensured that the ecosystems existing before the introduction of the watershed and human practices ensure continuity of the quality of the natural ecosystems in place. Thus each watershed is an ecosystem in itself or may include multiple ecosystems too. Thus it is important to ensure that the quality and condition of the natural ecosystem is retained and human activities are integrated within the same...

...Introduction Emphasis on human capital is a recent development. For a long time, concern has been placed on other factors of production. It was not until recently that attention shifted to Human capital which has led to a massive wave of investment in human capital development. Human capital development is the term used in referring to factors such as education, health, and other variables that can raise productivity. It refers to the ability to perform work so as to produce economic value. To a large extent this a function of the skills and knowledge workers acquired through education and experience. When viewed from a macro perspective, Human capital represents the human factor in an organization and this consists of the combined intelligence, skills and expertise of workers that gives the organization its distinctive character. It consists of those elements of the organization that are capable of learning, changing, innovating and providing the creative thrust which if properly motivated can ensure the long-term survival of an organization. Increasing attention is being given to Human capital due to globalization and its attendant saturation of the labour market. Concern about the issue has been being compounded by the recent downturn in the various economies of the world. This has led Organisations to appreciate the need to leverage on the workforce for competitive advantage in order to thrive and keep ahead of the competition. One major way of doing this is...

...Introduction: Globalisation can be considered as one of the most essential phenomenon of our times. Ardalan (2009) described globalisation as a compression of time and space with huge intensification of economic, cultural, social and political interconnections on the global scale. A New Geo-economy by Peter Dicken (2003) Dicken (2003) believes that ‘something’ is happening out there. More industries are orientated towards global markets nowadays in which the increasing of internationalisation and globalisation can be considered as one of the most important development in the world economy. As a result, global division of labor has evolved to a specialisation of labors in different parts of the production processes without being limited by geographical constraints anymore. It leads firms in the industrial countries focus to produce manufactured goods, meanwhile the non-industrialised countries are specialised to supply raw materials or agricultural products to them. This process is not as simple as the theory because the fragmentation of production processes and geographical relocation has been involved in the present trade flow, however. In addition, the emergence of a new international financial is inevitable as well since the development of technologies of transport and communications has accelerated the global transactions (Dicken, 2003). But, there is no consensus whether that ‘something’ is a new thing or not. Some believe that a new globalised world economy has risen...
