Thirty-seven (37) BSIT program heads/directors and teachers and 244 4th year BSIT students were participants of the study. Findings revealed that administration qualification among teachers was low which indicates that the teacher qualifications needs to be improved and strengthened. Findings also revealed that teacher competency is on the high extent which shows that teachers are competent to teach the assigned subjects. The infrastructures were proved as on the high extent which indicates that SUCs in MIMAROPA provides good services to the needs of the BSIT students. Lastly, the student competency revealed as high which shows that student acquire the basic knowledge and skills. However, there are some areas or skills that need to be enhanced to be eligible to ASEAN member countries. But as for local and national level, the BSIT program among SUCs in MIMAROPA are complaint with the basic standards. Based on the result, the proposed regional qualification framework to improve the teachers and students competencies is recommended to be eligible and skilled in the ASEAN Economic Community.

Purpose The purpose of the paper is to examine the impact of infrastructure investment and development on economic growth in Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries. The effect is examined for each country separately and also collectively by combining each country. Design/methodology/approach Ordinary least square regression method is applied to examine the effects of infrastructure investment and development on economic growth for each country. Panel data techniques such as panel least square method, panel least square fixed-effect model and panel least square random effect model are used to examine the collective impact by combining all countries in BRICS. The dynamic panel model is also incorporated for analysis in the study. Findings The results of the study are mixed. The association between infrastructure investment and development and economic growth for countries within BRICS is not robust. There is an insignificant relationship between infrastructure investment and development and economic growth in Brazil and South Africa. Energy and transportation infrastructure investment and development lead to economic growth in Russia. Telecommunication infrastructure investment and development and economic growth have a negative relationship in India, whereas there is a negative association between transport infrastructure investment and development and economic growth in China. Panel data results conclude that energy infrastructure investment and development lead to economic growth, whereas telecommunication infrastructure investment and development are significant and negatively linked with economic growth. Originality/value The study is novel as time series analysis and panel data analysis are used, taking the time span for 38 years (1980–2017) to investigate the influence of infrastructure investment and development on economic growth in BRICS Countries. Time-series regression analysis is used to test the impact for individual countries separately, whereas panel data regression analysis is used to examine the impact collectively for all countries in BRICS.

“…Assim, nos últimos anos, tem aumentado a atenção ao papel dos governos e ao impacto positivo dos gastos públicos no desenvolvimento econômico dos países e, consequentemente, os gestores públicos passaram a valorizar a eficiência dos investimentos públicos e utilizar todas as informações com eles disponíveis para aprimorar o processo de decisão sobre as alternativas para o uso eficiente dos investimentos públicos (Corong et al, 2013;Kociu et al, 2016).…”

No Brasil, não é incomum observar que os interesses políticos se sobrepõem aos aspectos técnicos e científicos. Esse quadro se avoluma quando se trata da alocação de recursos públicos. O presente artigo analisa se alocação dos recursos públicos em infraestrutura turística, realizada pelo Ministério do Turismo – MTur atende aos critérios institucionais ou é impactada pela influência política. Como base teórica, estudou-se sobre influência política, governança pública no turismo e a Teoria da Agência. Como objeto de estudo, foram definidos os investimentos realizados no período de 2008 a 2018, nos 65 Destinos Indutores, à época. Os investimentos foram mapeados, categorizados e verificados, para se entender de que forma e como foram alocados. Para se analisar se a alocação dos recursos atendeu aos critérios estabelecidos pela política nacional de turismo, à época a Categorização e o Índice de Competitividade, foi adotada a Modelagem de Equações Estruturais. A partir da construção do diagrama de caminho da relação causal, da verificação da consistência dos dados e dos testes de hipóteses, seus resultados confirmaram que os investimentos em infraestrutura turística realizados pelo MTur ainda são moderados pela influência política, porém adotaram, em parte, os critérios indicados nas diretrizes da política nacional de turismo.
