This new, thoroughly updated fifth edition of Bradt's Serbia remains the most acclaimed guide available to a country which in recent years has welcomed an increasing number of foreign tourists to discover its attractive rolling countryside, lively cities, excellent food and friendly people. Development of tourism infrastructure continues apace in Serbia and this new edition reflects all the changes and trends of recent years, including Belgrade's increasing popularity as a weekend break destination, the continued evolution and rising quality of accommodation across all price brackets in both the capital and beyond, the development of Belgrade's Savamala riverfront area, the rise in popularity of bird-watching holidays, the possibilities for wine tours, and the increase in visitors to the EXIT festival held annually in Novi Sad and to the Guca trumpet festival in central Serbia. Particularly notable since the previous edition is Serbia's dramatic improvement in English-language facilities for visitors, with many towns and cities now having tourist information centres with helpful staff, all of which are detailed in this guide.
Written by an expert author, the Bradt guide to Serbia offers up-to-date background information on the country's geography, history, economy, politics and people, as well as a strong emphasis on culture and the arts - music, literature, cinema and art - and on natural history, including a thorough overview of Serbia's best wildlife sites. Comprehensive and up-to-date listings of the best places to stay and eat according to budget are covered, along with reliable public transport information to enable you to travel independently with confidence. This guide recommends facilities and places of interest that will hold appeal for all types of visitor - from impecunious young travellers seeking a fun-filled city break to older visitors who prefer a slower pace and wish to immerse themselves in local tradition.
Despite burgeoning interest, Serbia remains one of the least known corners of Europe. Belgrade and second city Novi Sad are lively, cosmopolitan and welcoming, while rural Serbia, with its hidden monasteries and gorgeous countryside, is an undiscovered gem. With the Bradt guide you will be able to discover all this intriguing country has to offer.
Following the break-up of the USSR, Kyrgyzstan soon earned a reputation as the most hospitable and least repressive of the newly emerged central Asian republics. Unlike some of its neighbours, it has actively encouraged foreign tourism and has pursued a policy of supporting community projects with an emphasis on adventure tourism. The Bradt guide details all the services and experiences the country offers including trekking, mountaineering, horseriding and wildlife-watching. Historical sites, cultural activities and background on the Kyrgystan people are all covered by this definitive guide.
Introduces travellers not only to rural monasteries and tranquil national parks but also to hip nightclubs and swinging summer festivals of Serbia. This guide provides fresh information to business visitors, adventure travellers and those with an interest in art, history or wildlife. It also includes information on the independent state of Kosovo.
Dans un contexte où seules les entreprises les plus réactives et les plus agiles peuvent l'emporter, comment développer son organisation ? Comment se procurer les ressources nécessaires à sa croissance ? Et comment précisément arbitrer entre croissance interne (Build), croissance partenariale (Borrow) et croissance externe (Buy) ?
Laurence Capron et Will Mitchell expliquent ici comment chaque entreprise, quels que soient son secteur d'activité et sa taille, peut saisir une opportunité de croissance et ainsi choisir la meilleure option de développement grâce au modèle Build-Borrow-Buy ou modèle des 3B. Ce modèle permet de :
- Comparer les bénéfices et les risques potentiels d'une stratégie.
- Évaluer ses besoins en ressources (compétences, connaissances, technologies, méthodes ou savoir-faire).
- Sélectionner le mode de développement le plus adapté (interne, partenarial, externe).
- Équilibrer son portefeuille d'activités Build-Borrow-Buy.
Alors qu'aucun secteur ou presque n'échappe à la nécessité de changer, cet ouvrage propose une démarche structurée qui permettra à toutes les organisations de sélectionner la meilleure voie pour assurer leur stratégie de croissance.
Fruit d'une enquête à grande échelle conduite auprès de nombreuses entreprises, de dirigeants et d'étudiants en MBA et executive MBA, le modèle des 3B sera utile tant aux décideurs, aux managers, qu'aux étudiants en stratégie.
