Developing a Competency Framework
Linking Company Objectives and Personal Performance
You're probably familiar with the phrase 'what gets measured gets done.' Defining and measuring effectiveness – especially the performance of workers – is a critical part of your job as a manager.
The question is: How do you define the skills, behaviors, and attitudes that workers need to perform their roles effectively? How do you know they're qualified for the job? In other words, how do you know what to measure?
Some people think formal education is a reliable measure. Others believe more in on-the-job training, and years of experience. Still others might argue that personal characteristics hold the key to effective work behavior.
All of these are important, but none seems sufficient to describe an ideal set of behaviors and traits needed for any particular role. Nor do they guarantee that individuals will perform to the standards and levels required by the organization.
A more complete way of approaching this is to link individual performance to the goals of the business. To do this, many companies use 'competencies.' These are the integrated knowledge, skills, judgment, and attributes that people need to perform a job effectively. By having a defined set of competencies for each role in your business, it shows workers the kind of behaviors the organization values, and which it requires to help achieve its objectives. Not only can your team members work more effectively and achieve their potential, but there are many business benefits to be had from linking personal performance with corporate goals and values.
Defining which competencies are necessary for success in your organization can help you do the following:
- Ensure that your people demonstrate sufficient expertise.
- Recruit and select new staff more effectively.
- Evaluate performance more effectively.
- Identify skill and competency gaps more efficiently.
- Provide more customized training and professional development.
- Plan sufficiently for succession.
- Make change management processes work more efficiently.
How can you define the set of practices needed for effective performance? You can do this by adding a competency framework to your talent management program. By collecting and combining competency information, you can create a standardized approach to performance that's clear and accessible to everyone in the company. The framework outlines specifically what people need to do to be effective in their roles, and it clearly establishes how their roles relate to organizational goals and success.
This article outlines the steps you need to take to develop a competency framework in your organization.
Design Principles of a Competency Framework
A competency framework defines the knowledge, skills, and attributes needed for people within an organization. Each individual role will have its own set of competencies needed to perform the job effectively. To develop this framework, you need to have an in-depth understanding of the roles within your business. To do this, you can take a few different approaches:
- Use a pre-set list of common, standard competencies, and then customize it to the specific needs of your organization.
- Use outside consultants to develop the framework for you.
- Create a general organizational framework, and use it as the basis for other frameworks as needed.
Developing a competency framework can take considerable effort. To make sure the framework is actually used as needed, it's important to make it relevant to the people who'll be using it – and so they can take ownership of it.
The following three principles are critical when designing a competency framework:
- Involve the people doing the work – These frameworks should not be developed solely by HR people, who don't always know what each job actually involves. Nor should they be left to managers, who don't always understand exactly what each member of their staff does every day. To understand a role fully, you have to go to the source – the person doing the job – as well as getting a variety of other inputs into what makes someone successful in that job.
- Communicate – People tend to get nervous about performance issues. Let them know why you're developing the framework, how it will be created, and how you'll use it. The more you communicate in advance, the easier your implementation will be.
- Use relevant competencies – Ensure that the competencies you include apply to all roles covered by the framework. If you include irrelevant competencies, people will probably have a hard time relating to the framework in general. For example, if you created a framework to cover the whole organization, then financial management would not be included unless every worker had to demonstrate that skill. However, a framework covering management roles would almost certainly involve the financial management competency.
Developing the Framework
There are four main steps in the competency framework development process. Each steps has key actions that will encourage people to accept and use the final product.
Step One: Prepare
- Define the purpose – Before you start analyzing jobs, and figuring out what each role needs for success, make sure you look at the purpose for creating the framework. How you plan to use it will impact whom you involve in preparing it, and how you determine its scope. For example, a framework for filling a job vacancy will be very specific, whereas a framework for evaluating compensation will need to cover a wide range of roles.
- Create a competency framework team – Include people from all areas of your business that will use the framework. Where possible, aim to represent the diversity of your organization. It's also important to think about long-term needs, so that you can keep the framework updated and relevant.
Step Two: Collect Information
This is the main part of the framework. Generally, the better the data you collect, the more accurate your framework will be. For this reason, it's a good idea to consider which techniques you'll use to collect information about the roles, and the work involved in each one. You may want to use the following:
- Observe – Watch people while they're performing their roles. This is especially useful for jobs that involve hands-on labor that you can physically observe.
- Interview people – Talk to every person individually, choose a sample of people to interview, or conduct a group interview. You may also want to interview the supervisor of the job you're assessing. This helps you learn what a wide variety of people believe is needed for the role's success.
- Create a questionnaire – A survey is an efficient way to gather data. Spend time making sure you ask the right questions, and consider the issues of reliability and validity. If you prefer, there are standardized job analysis questionnaires you can buy, rather than attempting to create your own.
- Analyze the work – Which behaviors are used to perform the jobs covered by the framework? You may want to consider the following:
- Business plans, strategies, and objectives.
- Organizational principles.
- Job descriptions.
- Regulatory or other compliance issues.
- Predictions for the future of the organization or industry.
- Customer and supplier requirements.
- As you gather information about each role, record what you learn in separate behavioral statements. For example, if you learn that Paul from accounting is involved in bookkeeping, you might break that down into these behavioral statements: handles petty cash, maintains floats, pays vendors according to policy, and analyzes cash books each month. You might find that other roles also have similar tasks – and therefore bookkeeping will be a competency within that framework.
- When you move on to Step Three, you'll be organizing the information into larger competencies, so it helps if you can analyze and group your raw data effectively.
Step Three: Build the Framework
This stage involves grouping all of the behaviors and skill sets into competencies. Follow these steps to help you with this task:
- Group the statements – Ask your team members to read through the behavior statements, and group them into piles. The goal is to have three or four piles at first – for instance, manual skills, decision-making and judgment skills, and interpersonal skills.
- Create subgroups – Break down each of the larger piles into subcategories of related behaviors. Typically, there will be three or four subgroupings for each larger category. This provides the basic structure of the competency framework.
- Refine the subgroups – For each of the larger categories, define the subgroups even further. Ask yourself why and how the behaviors relate, or don't relate, to one another, and revise your groupings as necessary.
- Identify and name the competencies – Ask your team to identify a specific competency to represent each of the smaller subgroups of behaviors. Then they can also name the larger category.
- Here's an example of groupings and subgroupings for general management competencies:
- Supervising and leading teams.
- Provide ongoing direction and support to staff.
- Take initiative to provide direction.
- Communicate direction to staff.
- Monitor performance of staff.
- Motivate staff.
- Develop succession plan.
- Ensure that company standards are met.
- Recruiting and staffing.
- Prepare job descriptions and role specifications.
- Participate in selection interviews.
- Identify individuals' training needs.
- Implement disciplinary and grievance procedures.
- Ensure that legal obligations are met.
- Develop staff contracts.
- Develop salary scales and compensation packages.
- Develop personnel management procedures.
- Make sure staff resources meet organizational needs.
- Training and development.
- Deliver training to junior staff.
- Deliver training to senior staff.
- Identify training needs.
- Support personal development.
- Develop training materials and methodology.
- Managing projects/programs
- Prepare detailed operational plans.
- Manage financial and human resources.
- Monitor overall performance against objectives.
- Write reports, project proposals, and amendments.
- Understand external funding environment.
- Develop project/program strategy.
- Supervising and leading teams.
- Validate and revise the competencies as necessary – For each item, ask these questions:
- Is this behavior demonstrated by people who perform the work most effectively? In other words, are people who don't demonstrate this behavior ineffective in the role?
- Is this behavior relevant and necessary for effective work performance?
Step Four: Implement
As you roll out the finalized competency framework, remember the principle of communication that we mentioned earlier. To help get buy-in from members of staff at all levels of the organization, it's important to explain to them why the framework was developed, and how you'd like it to be used. Discuss how it will be updated, and which procedures you've put in place to accommodate changes.
Here are some tips for implementing the framework:
- Link to business objectives – Make connections between individual competencies and organizational goals and values as much as possible.
- Reward the competencies – Check that your policies and practices support and reward the competencies identified.
- Provide coaching and training – Make sure there's adequate coaching and training available. People need to know that their efforts will be supported.
- Keep it simple – Make the framework as simple as possible. You want the document to be used, not filed away and forgotten.
- Communicate – Most importantly, treat the implementation as you would any other change initiative. The more open and honest you are throughout the process, the better the end result – and the better the chances of the project achieving your objectives.
Key Points
Creating a competency framework is an effective method to assess, maintain, and monitor the knowledge, skills, and attributes of people in your organization. The framework allows you to measure current competency levels to make sure your staff members have the expertise needed to add value to the business. It also helps managers make informed decisions about talent recruitment, retention, and succession strategies. And, by identifying the specific behaviors and skills needed for each role, it enables you to budget and plan for the training and development your company really needs.
The process of creating a competency framework is long and complex. To ensure a successful outcome, involve people actually doing carrying out the roles to evaluate real jobs, and describe real behaviors. The increased level of understanding and linkage between individual roles and organizational performance makes the effort well worth it.

Thank you for your positive feedback.
Over a month agoThis is a very interesting article. I have been researching ways to update job descriptions and other ways to help with employee retention and I enjoyed reading it. I am very new to HR and I do not have a HR degree. I actually went to school for Exercise Science and ended up in HR. I am currently studying for a SHRM-CP certification. Anyway, the company I'm at, which I've been there for a year and half, does not have any type of competency model. Our old HR Director, used a basic HR software to develop job descriptions and competencies within the job description. It is easy, but with the laziness factor of it being easy, job descriptions can are vague and the competencies are spelled out word by word on each job description, leading to a 4-6 page job description in most instances. You shouldn't be able to create a job description in 5 minutes, but that's what they were using, and have been using. I am just now getting to this project due to the development of some other things I have done and just getting comfortable with the job in general. We do not use job descriptions at all during reviews. What would you recommend I do as far as developing a model? I understand developing competencies that can be used by all staff, but what about areas that someone like myself need to be competent in (HR)? Would I list them on a separate model or? Once again, thanks for the article.
Over a month agoHello Khaled,
Thank you for your feedback. Competency models are unique to each organization and may focus on: technical or functional competence, such as knowledge, skills, abilities and behaviors of a high performing marketing professional; behavioral competencies that define leadership excellence; or role specific competencies - the knowledge, skills and abilities required to successfully perform a role. Here are some examples of "leadership" competency frameworks from different organizations. You will see from the examples that each organization adopts a different approach to defining competencies and displays them in different ways.

How Do I Know If My Injury Constitutes Medical Malpractice?
The injured party has the burden of proving that the health care provider negligently failed to meet the applicable professional standard of care for that health care provider. That means the health care provider failed to act as a reasonably prudent health care provider in North Carolina would under similar circumstances. Health care providers are judged in comparison with similarly trained and qualified providers of the same class in the same community and in the same field of medical specialization. Likewise, a hospital owes their patients a duty of ordinary care to provide equipment and facilities reasonably suited to the intended uses and such as are in general use in similar hospitals under similar circumstances. The injured patient must then prove that the health care provider`s breach of the standard of care was a proximate cause of the injuries to the patient. In other words, there must be a close connection between the action of the health care provider and the harm to the patient. Finally, you have to show what damages resulted form the alleged mistake. This may include medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, etc.
A breach of the standard of care must be established by expert testimony unless the alleged negligence obvious to a layman. Medical malpractice claims are very difficult to prevail in and are also extremely expensive partly due to the need for qualified expert review and testimony. Whether or not you have a good case depends on the professional judgment of attorneys and medical experts. If you are told that you do not have a case with merit, you should seek another opinion from one or more other attorneys.
The information on this page is meant to provide a general overview of the law. The laws in your state and/or city may deviate significantly from those described here. If you have specific questions related to your situation you should speak with a local attorney.

Julie Daniluk, R.H.N. is the author of 'Meals That Heal inflammation' this inspiring and helpful book of eliminating inflammation that causes so many ailments that we have been told that the only help is through prescription drugs or that there is no cure. In this book the author begins with her own story in the book explaining how she struggled with health problems until finding the key element was eating the right foods to eliminate inflammation which were causing the problems. Inflammation in the body has been known to cause any thing from allergies, diabetes, skin disorders, heart disease, gingivitis, to irritable bowel syndrome. Eating healthy and eliminating certain things from your diet is the first step of taking control of any of these ailments and taking back control of your life. I found the book very interesting and eye-opening. One of the things I found really interesting was a section that connected Alzheimer's with dental infection. The consequence of poor dental health establishes chronic inflammation in the brain and how treating chronic dental infections may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. Interesting information like this is all through out the book. Thankfully the information is not just given with out recourse to take to deal with it. There are recipes in this book which creates a MTHI plan (Meals That Heal Inflammation) This book is very well written and connected to studies to prove the authors point. Being in the health care profession her book is based on medical knowledge that she has or she has researched through other people in the field. Chapter 4 is about the infection connection. Taking the quiz helps to assess how your body reacts to infections that are preexisting. The reader then learns by taking the quiz what is causing some of their problems and how use the plan established in this book. A wealth of information, this book is packed with complete tools to get you into a healthy eating plan to take your life back. There are meals that can assist the body's healing process. I haven't tried all of the recipes but the ones I did try are enjoyable to eat. The recipes covered in this book cover healing teas to balanced meals and desserts. Every recipe in this book contains foods that naturally heal inflammation. Also included are reference charts, diagnostic quizzes, food comparison lists which makes it a valuable book for your kitchen. I received this book for review but my opinion of this book is expressed honestly.
This is the 2nd book on the subject that I've read, and I am very impressed with the breadth of knowledge the author has not only of nutrition, but also anatomy, physiology, pathology, diseases, and other holistic approaches to reducing stress and making wiser life choices. Well done. The author touches on nearly everything I've been studying for the last 20 years. What makes this a four star instead of five, the many typos in the e-book version. I'm now buying the paperback hoping for much more readable text.
Love all the info and great meals!
Very good lots of information

Help!! Google Maps Navigation Broken
Ever since the latest update to Google Maps, it always is taking "supposed traffic" into my routes.
It then re-routes me through multiple back streets trying to avoid the "supposed traffic".
I have not been given a direct route since the update, and every route it gives adds significant time and frustration to my trip.
One last week wanted to take me off an innerstate that was a straight route to my destination.
I am so frustrated as I am living in a new side of town, and rely on this to get around.
Any way to turn off traffic?
I looked in settings and have no avoidance settings checked.

As Myanmar (formerly Burma) emerges from decades of military dictatorship, the scramble is on among young Burmese to educate themselves so that they might take advantage of the economic growth that is already transforming the country.
Myint Myint Maw is acutely aware of the advantages that education can bring: she was one of the few children lucky enough to complete their high school education in the village of Popa near the ancient, pagoda-dotted city of Bagan; and she emerged from university a few years later with an engineering degree.
But the most valuable currency for young people wishing to improve their economic prospects in this fast-changing, opportunity-laden country is English. Hopeful of capitalising on this, language schools have started popping up overnight in major cities all over Myanmar; often unaffiliated, they compete among themselves for the precious funds that parents are willing to spend on their children's education.
But the Jesuits have long anticipated the importance of English as a means for advancement among the people of Myanmar. The Campion English Institute was established in Yangon in 2003, and in the time since has transformed the lives of young Myanmar students like Maw through the provision of high-level English courses. The institute is one of several projects in Myanmar which are funded entirely by Jesuit Mission.
'I was a teacher while I was in university because my parents couldn't support me, so I had to support myself', explains Maw.
'In 2007 I graduated and I went to Yangon to work as an engineer. But the salary was very low. Fortunately I got a scholarship from my former teacher and so I studied English at Campion.'
For almost two years Maw lived in the hostel at Campion and diligently attended class, becoming so fluent in English she was able to volunteer as a teacher at the institute, instructing students who had enrolled in its health program. Far from her village, she felt that she'd found a new home.
'Oh, Campion is like a family! You feel a sense of family: everybody's very friendly, the teachers are very friendly, unlike the other schools. The other schools are like a business. The students have tension and are competing but in Campion it's not like that – it's very friendly and relaxed and very happy. That's why I like it', she says.
'In Campion I had to speak English and so I developed a lot. I was very relaxed in Campion; when I'm very comfortable with my friends and the teachers, it's very easy to speak English.'
Today, Maw's Campion classmates are working as hotel receptionists, as teachers, in jobs at the British Council, and at the many corporations that are setting up office in Myanmar. Maw herself spent two years after graduation teaching English to Grade 6 and Grade 7 students at a small learning centre in Yangon. During this time she stayed with sisters from the Faithful Companions of Jesus. The relationship that developed between this devout young Buddhist and the Catholic sisters opened up another opportunity for her when the sisters awarded her a scholarship to study community development at the Asian Social Institute in Manila in the Philippines. While there, Maw spent time caring for abandoned babies, and developed a desire to do something meaningful when she returned home. This year she will open a pre-school for children in her village of Popa.
'I was not a patient person before, but when I went to Manila and I worked with them for nine months I began to love the babies, and I learned to be patient', she explains.
'Before I went to Manila I said to the sisters, "As soon as I come back to Myanmar I will go back to my place to serve the people". That's why I am bringing that desire and value to my place.'

New York Steakhouse
One of the best steakhouses in Thailand. Very good 14oz ribeye steak but $80 is overpriced.
Also, tables are too close together, can hear other people conversations.
Must pay separately for side orders. With drinks expect a bill over $200. Stay away fron the Boston Lobster promotion, lobster meat appears to be old and mushy, cooked very poorly
Me and my spouse stayed at the JW during August 09 for 5 nights. We stayed in a standard room and received the government rate (about 30% off). Cost ended up around 125.00 US dollars a night. Pretty good price for a 5 star hotel in BKK. Location on Sukhumvit Rd in the business/shopping/embassy district is great. The JW is near the xpressway, and the BTS SkyTrain stops are real close. Great location overall. Service was good/great overall. Security is good. Cannot comment on any of the restaraunts at the hotel, didn't try any of them. Fitness center great, best hotel gym I've seen/used. Pool is average for a 5 star hotel. Only negative is that everything at the hotel is expensive. Internet in the room is not free. Costs about 8 dollars for an hour. Internet is also available for 1 day or week at a set cost as well. A double espresso and a fruit drink cost almost 20.00 US dollars in the lobby. Crazy expensive! Also, laundry service is very expensive. Overall, a good hotel for the price. All the extras are expensive though. If you can get the government discount, an excellent choice.
Unique Quality: Great:
fitness center
Directions: Business/Shopping/Embassy District
Downtown Bangkok
Hmmmm, was not impressed with the JW Marriott. We had to stay here returning from Phuket on the way home. Decided to shop some more in Bangkok and thought staying downtown would be more convenient. We were wrong. Nana Entertainment Plaza is across the street from this hotel. And unless you are interested in the Go Go girls and all the pleasures it offers, I would pass on this location. Although the amenities are well suited to the business traveler (great business center and conference rooms.) The pool and fitness center were left lacking, however I did participate in an Aqua Aerobics class that was quite fun. And no spa massage services - one cannot go through a day in Thailand without a Thai massage (I'm referring to the ACTUAL massages, lol) After day 2 we were definitely starting to feel a little trapped inside at night.
Unique Quality: Homeless sleeping on street outside. Which is in every big city location - well every one I've been to...
Directions: Downtown, so to speak.
My favourite hotel in Bangkok
UPDATE January 2009 - this place just gets better. The Executive Lounge has been refurbished and slightly enlarged. The breakfast service and the hot snacks during the evening cocktail service are cooked in a custom built cooking area in the lounge ensuring they are hot and fresh. Superb :-)
Bangkok has many fine hotels and I have been lucky to stay in a number of them.
OK I will admit that being a member of the Marriott Rewards program is the reason why I frist stayed here in 1999, but it is the service, atmosphere and location that means I have been back a dozen times since then and I am looking to forward to my next visit in March 2009.
During 2006 the hotel started to refurbish the rooms and the new rooms are a good improvement on the old. As is getting more common they have Flat Screen TVs, a more novel touch is that it is easy to connect your PC, camcorder or DVD player to the TV and they even supply the cables. It is also possible to connect your MP3 player so that it plays through the TV, again the lead is supplied. The other nice touch is that the showers have also been upgraded and you now can either use the normal shower head or you can use the "rain shower" head. There are still some of the old style rooms, but I think all rooms now have the flat screen TVs.
I have added pictures of one of the new rooms to this tip.
Unique Quality: If you opt for an "Executive Room" you will have access to the Executive lounge and a host of other benefits such as
• Complimentary breakfast in the lounge – much better than usually offered in Marriotts in Europe or the USA.
• Free pressing service on each day (3 items per day)
• Free drinks in the Executive Lounge during the day and Happy Hours from 6 – 8 each evening featuring a well stocked bar and a good selection of hot and cold snacks
• In room check in.
The pool is not large and because of the high rise buildings sun bathing hours are cut back a bit, but it is still a very pleasant area for a bit of respite from the hustle and bustle that is Bangkok. Also the pool staff will bring out complimentary cold fruit and iced water every hour or so.
There is also a health club and spa in the hotel.
The main restaurant is the coffee shop which has won awards for the quality of its lunch buffet (deservedly so in my opinion). There is a "New York" Steakhouse which is expensive, but the steak and service are both first class. They also have 2 Japanese restaurants called "Tsu" and "Nami".
They take photos of frequent guests so they will recognise them when they check in!
The location is very close to one of the main bar areas known as Nana Plaza and the Nana Sky train station. Also close by are the bars and restaurants along Sukhumvit.

This is unusually vigorous in growth and increase as well as very floriferous
for me. It's quite attractive in the garden. In the first shot the lavender
edges on the standards can be seen, but they aren't very noticeable. The
undersides of the falls are yellow, so one of the falls in the second shot
that is lit from the reverse appears yellow. The darkness of the lavender and
brown can vary quite a bit.

Alex uses bud cutting almost exclusively to isolate sporting leaves that
appear in hostas.
Sometimes he will take some bud cuttings of a new plant he has to trade with
a friend for a bud or small cutting of a new or interesting plant.
I doubt using bud cutting to propagate has any advantages over propagating
by division as Chick advocates.
In my opinion bud cutting is most useful for isolating sporting leaves on a
single division hosta.

The fragmentation of production processes and the rise of global supply chains (GSC) since the 1980s have become increasingly important factors in linking developing countries to international production networks and markets. Today, a large share of production within GSC takes place in developing countries, especially in East and Southeast Asia.
Strategy 2020 emphasizes the [&] great promise that regional cooperation and integration activities present for accelerating economic growth, raising productivity and employment, reducing economic disparities, and achieving closer policy coordination and collaboration in support of regional and global public goods [&]. This technical assistance (TA) contributes to this strategic priority by shedding light on poorly understood aspects of the regional integration of production and by raising the capacity of Asian Development Bank (ADB) to formulate policy advice on the basis of state-of-the-art data and methods for the analysis of GSC in the region. In cooperation with partner organizations, such as Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), World Trade Organization (WTO), Institute of Developing Economies-Japan External Trade Organization (IDE-JETRO), the Fung Global Institute (FGI), and the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), this TA will facilitate ADB's establishment as a contributing member within the nascent research consortium focusing on these issues.
|Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
The international fragmentation of production has created the need for new measures of trade that account for the value that is actually added by a country to the goods or services it exports, net of the imported value of intermediate parts and components (trade in value added). By contrast, traditional trade statistics reflect gross value, thus double-counting the value of intermediates as they cross international borders multiple times. As a result, international trade statistics provide an inaccurate picture of trade involving heavily networked economies. For example, domestic value added is estimated to account for roughly 60 percent of the exports value of People's Republic of China (PRC) while its trade surplus with the United States is thought to be overestimated by about 40 percent . Only by duly accounting for trade in value added (TVA) can ADB research and policy advice be made reflective of the economic and social implications of production networks in the region. Moreover, TVA analysis informs forecasts and estimates on the impact of foreign demand or supply shocks as they propagate through GSC, such as were triggered by recent natural disasters in Japan and Thailand, or such as threats posed to regional growth by the unresolved Euro Area crisis.
Analytical issues in relation to GSC and TVA concern mainly the measurement of global supply chains and vertical specialization (the foreign value added embedded within exports). The main approaches are: (i) input-output analysis, associating inputs with industry outputs and identifying the source of those inputs; (ii) defining product categories using some descriptors like parts and components ; (iii) firm level data on foreign inputs, tracking both foreign input purchases and exports by firms have become available; (iv) processing trade data, available for some countries, notably PRC and Mexico, where trade statistics are reported separately for firms that are officially designated as export processing; (v) multinational firm data, especially datasets that provide information on affiliate sales or intra-firm trade. This TA will compare the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches with special reference to Asia's role in GSC.
A further issue concerns the assessment of the determinants and structure of GSC. Such analysis typically has used measures of vertical specialization, or value added trade, as the dependent variable in regression analysis focused on understanding if trade of this sort behaves differently from other trade, e.g., is more sensitive to trade costs. The literature is still extremely thin on these issues and this TA can do much to shed light on the drivers and impediments to GSC and TVA in Asia.
Finally, there is a key issue concerning offshoring and its effects on firms and labor markets. Such analysis has to rely mainly on firm level data, which is becoming increasingly available. Because these datasets also include firm level characteristics and are in some cases linked to employment databases, analysis can now go much further in understanding why individual firms choose to produce with foreign value added, and how this affects their outcomes, for example in terms of productivity or wages.

Research activities in collaboration with Fung Global Institute are ongoing. Additional country case studies on GSC and TVA were commissioned in Q1 2014. These background papers, together with the text based from the GSC TVA book, will serve as inputs for the Asian Development Outlook 2014 Update theme chapter, to be launched on September 2014.

As Peter Taylor prepares for the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey this week, hoping to avoid the humiliation suffered by England's Under-21 side, the determination and desire of the country's youngest players has been called into question.
Bjarne Berntsen, the vice-president of the Norwegian FA, whose team knocked England out of contention in the Under-21 tournament with a 3-1 win, believes the young Scandinavians were more highly motivated. "The most important thing is that every one of our players wants to be here, wants to perform, wants to win," he said. "I can understand when you are a star in a Premier League club, your season has ended a month ago, you have to be mentally strong and you have to decide you want to be here. Maybe that can be a question to ask, if there is enough desire to be here, if it means enough for big players."
The Norwegians' attitude, from their federation down to the players, was to have the strongest squad available, which is why four of them flew through the night from a senior World Cup game in Albania to join up on the day of the England game. One of them, Blackburn's Josh King said: "We landed at four o'clock in the morning and didn't get much sleep, but the boys beat England with only one of us four needing to come on. We have our best squad here. And if you want to win, that's the way to do it."
There is still a certain kudos in beating England at any level, as Berntsen well knows. He was right-back in the team that defeated Ron Greenwood's side 2-1 in a World Cup game in 1981, the famous "your boys took a hell of a beating" match.
Taylor's Under-20 squad will find Saturday's opponents Iraq equally determined to make history of their own. Although a number of England players who would have been eligible went with the Under-21s instead, there are one of two with Premier League experience, like Ross Barkley, who played nine times for Everton last season and Southampton's James Ward-Prowse, who had 19 first-team games. England have also suffered far fewer withdrawals than at previous events in Colombia two years ago and Egypt in 2009, which were held in August and September respectively, with the result that several clubs simply refused to release players.
"We're missing a couple but overall I'm really happy," said Taylor, who as a previous Under-21 manager will be a strong candidate to take the job again if, as expected, Stuart Pearce's contract is not renewed this week.
England Under-20s squad:
Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (Manchester United), George Long (Sheffield United), Connor Ripley (Middlesbrough).
Defenders: Eric Dier (Sporting Lisbon), Jon Flanagan (Liverpool), Luke Garbutt (Everton), Jamaal Lascelles (Nottingham Forest), Danny Potts (West Ham United), Adam Reach (Middlesbrough), John Stones (Everton), Tom Thorpe (Manchester United).
Midfielders: Ross Barkley (Everton), Gael Bigirimana (Newcastle United), Conor Coady (Liverpool), Larnell Cole (Manchester United), John Lundstram (Everton), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton).
Forwards: Chris Long (Everton), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Alex Pritchard (Tottenham Hotspur), Luke Williams (Middlesbrough).

My experiece with Wayside Gardens has been pleasant, but the size of some of
the plants for the price is somewhat rediculous. I believe part of the high
costs goes into printing their excellent catalog. I personally have not
purchased hostas from Wayside, but the perennials and bulbs I've received were
small and not fully developed as I like them to be. Looking at the photos that
came with my order, the hostas photographed look like 1 year old tissue
culture plants. The plants I received were small, but very healthy and well
packed. I can depend on wayside for healthy stocks, just not on size.
Hope this helps a bit.

Before we can roll the new keymaster into production, we need to verify that the machine, modified toolchain, and new scripts work as expected.
In offline discussions at group gathering this week, we decided to re-sign the existing, known, FF3.0.12 and FF3.5.1 builds, and schedule with QA to get them properly tested. If all that goes ok, we can move new keymaster into production before the upcoming FF3.0.13 and FF3.5.2 releases.
In case it helps to reduce testing scope, the unsigned binaries will be identical. However, the signed binaries, and the update snippets will be different.
