The article shows the
impact of government
policy and institutional
beliefs on developing
innovation to support
low carbon operations.
The impact of policy
and beliefs was being
assessed by applying a
framework to
government policy.
The framework
considered three key
factors to evaluate the
impact of policy.
These factors are
coherence, consistency
and continuity of
support. Consistency

research could identify
any traces of
coherence and
coordination between
government
institutions, and public

Due to a lack of
capacity at the
regional level, there is
loss of connectivity
between regional and
state-level bodies. As
found in the study,
deployment of human,
physical, financial and
technological
resources should be
increased to ensure
there is productive and
strategic bonding

The paper talks about
the significance of
government policy and
legislation concerning
urban management
and destination
management. The
authors based on its
empirical study of
three New Zealand
cities identifies that
both urban
management and
destination
management are
interlinked in broad
terms. Destination
management does
involve a broad
change and utilization

of a much bigger
operational framework
as compared to urban
management. In the
course of discussing
urban management
and destination
management, the
research identifies
significant
involvement of
government policy in
the process. For
example, any

because any

This paper in

Panamanian-American
venture ‘Planting

that there is an evident
connection between a
venture, and its
surrounding
biophysical and
human contexts. When
there is a venture, such
as planting
empowerment, its
impacts can be seen

and biophysical
contexts. For example,
a plantation activity
will require more
people hiring for its
related activities.
People hiring in this
way will create new
job opportunities for
many jobless people
or someone looking
for an exciting
opportunity. The
biophysical impact can
be observed in terms
of an increasing
number of animals
relying on these
plants. Moreover,
there will be fewer
floods in these areas.
People living in such
areas will have access

to a huge amount of
wood. The pollution
level in the air will
improve also. An
initiative as such of
planting
empowerment is a
response to increased
focus shift of the
government towards
deforestation and its
adverse impacts.

understand whether
they also like
government
intervening in their
daily lives by
impacting their daily
used commodities
with different policies
and legislation. The
study found that
Australians do know
about the adversity of
obesity. They are
concerned with it and
want solutions to the
problem. They expect
their local and state
governments to take
strict actions to help
them overcome the

problem. All these
encourage the
government to identify
factors causing obesity
and bringing new
policies to control it.
Government
intervention in this
way affects
businesses, like food
companies having a
direct impact on
people's health. The
research shows that
government policy can
be welcoming for
common people;
however, not so for
businesses.

This study discusses
the impact of wages
on employment
growth. The minimum
wage standard is
different for different
sectors and countries.
Some countries, like
Bangladesh, has one
of the cheapest labor
cost in the world. Few
companies particularly
developed countries
practice high wage
standards. Either of
the situations is
debatable and can be
negatively related to
employability. This
study concludes that
minimum wage does

17GOVERNMENT POLICY & REGULATION
considerably reduce
job growth. The
impact does not just
last for a month or
two, but long years.
Younger workers
seem to have higher
impacts of the
minimum wage.
Industries that deploy
people for low wages
do also face a similar
issue. The research
shows that the
government policy
concerning minimum
wage is debatable.
There are pieces of
evidence in the study,
which suggest
government policy,
such as in the form of
minimum wage does

The paper investigates
how an increase in the
minimum wage is

China. The findings of
the article suggest that
a decrease of 10% in
the minimum wage
result in an
approximately 0.9%
decline in export sales.
It suggests that the rate
of exporting to China
will considerably
decrease in China in
the future following a
hike in the minimum
wage. The government
policy in this study
was found as affecting
exporting works
negatively. On the

benefitting the
workers and
employees, as their
basic pay will
significantly increase.
There will be impacts
of the rising minimum
wage over Chinese
exports and its
comparative
advantage in
worldwide markets.
Other destinations will
emerge as the most
preferred locations to
export. Bangladesh is
gradually picking up
and has been able to
boost up foreign direct
investments (FDIs) in
the country.
