The World is Watching

The World is Watching: Will G20 Countries Lead this June at the Earth Summit? Three years ago, the Group of 20 countries pledged to phase out environmentally-harmful and ineffective subsidies. The leaders of these twenty influential countries have since made many other promises to deal with climate change and the range of global sustainability challenges, including at the recently concluded Clean Energy Ministerial. As countries meet this week to set the agenda for 2012, they should commit to showing leadership where it counts.  This June, we need to turn pledges into real actionsstarting at the G20 summit in Los Cabos, Mexico, and continuing through to the Rio+20 Earth Summit (read  here and  here for ideas). NRDC, with Stakeholder Forum and Road to Rio+20, recently launched the Earth Summit Watch – a country-by-country progress tracker of the ambition (or lack thereof) of preparations before we all meet in Rio.  The UN recently announced that 130 heads...

Simon's Theory of Administrative Behavior

Simon's Theory of Administrative Behavior   Simon (1976) clarified the processes by which goal specificity and formalization contribute to rational behavior in organizations (Scott p. 45). He criticized Fayol's platitudes and Taylor's "economic man" assumptions, proposing the "administrative man" who pursues his self-interests but often doesn't know what they are, is aware of only some of the possible decision alternatives, and is willing to settle for an adequate solution than continue looking for an optimal one (p. 45). Simon distinquishes between the decisions a person makes to enter or leave an organization and the decisions they make as a participant. Organizations simplify decisions and support participants in the decisions they need to make. Organizations simplify decisions by restricting the ends toward which activity is directed. Goals supply the value premises that underly decisions. Value premises (assumptions of desirable ends ) ...

Obama : My Good Friend

Make no mistake: history is on the side of these brave Africans and not with those who use coups or change Constitutions to stay in power. (Nigeria) Africa doesn't need strongmen, it needs strong institutions. This Nigeria is a country that is the direct opposite of what my good friend "Barrack Obama" was talking about when it comes to the fact that Nigeria has no sustainable development. Why is it that all the negative descriptions that he made reference to so fit this good country of ours that is overpopulated by bad leaders, corrupt men and bad "KABANS" that even our president can’t do anything about? They say that we are 'good people great nation' trying to make us re-patriotic  - not rebranding but that I feel will not work – when the chief re-brander went partying with the minister of education that wasted 120 million naira in a birthday party when the education sector that the man is suppose to head is on strike over what the government can s...
