“…However, it is quite prudent to note that the President Mnangagwa's administration is opening Zimbabwe for business despite the conflicting policy. The importance of Foreign Direct Investment to economic growth remains uncontested [20]. Therefore, Zimbabwe has to attract more of Foreign Direct Investment to ensure economic growth.…”

A number of policies have been put in place as of 1980 but the implementation of the policy objectives has been highly compromised. This research is therefore premised on exploring the challenges faced in the implementation of economic policies using the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZIMASSET) of 2013 to 2018 as the focal point. The study employs a case study research design which triangulates qualitative as well as quantitative research methods into mixed methods. On sampling techniques, the research employs simple random sampling and purposive sampling. Structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews were also used in collecting data. The research established that the ZIMASSET policy has been ruled out as an appetizing economic blueprint which when followed to its logical conclusions can in a way turn around the economic fortunes of the country. Be that as it may, some contend that there is nothing peculiar about the ZIMASSET policy as it is yet another attempt by the ZANU-PF led government to moot a policy that will die a premature death. In light of this, the study recommends policy autonomy, multiplicity of sources of funding, supporting the agricultural sector, curbing corruption, clear policy procedures as well as utmost commitment to the policy as strategies that can enhance the successful implementation of future economic policies in Zimbabwe.

“…Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a well-studied topic in the fields of international development and international business. The impact of FDI is often substantial and significant in emerging economies (Ahmeti & Kukaj, 2016). 1 It is considered one of the key contributors to, and a driver of, economic development in emerging economies.…”

In the past two decades, foreign direct investment (FDI) in emerging economies has witnessed substantial growth in the agricultural sector. Globally, more than a quarter of these investments have failed. Beyond case studies, the factors that contribute to these failures have been subject to limited research. To address this research gap, this article draws on a unique data set of 106 investments in Ethiopia, from which failures were identified and detailed case studies analysed to identify the causes of failure. Drawing on the literature on institutional voids, our analysis shows that the high rates of failure in the agricultural sector are often caused by insufficient planning at the proposal stage, assumptions about the availability of expertise, socio‐political and environmental risks, insufficient financing and/or a changing investment landscape and underestimation and/or misunderstanding regarding the limits of extractive approaches. These lessons suggest that while FDI in the agricultural sector has potential, the working approaches require significant transformation. We offer a set of strategic recommendations to mitigate the risk of investment failure in agricultural investment.

“…Existen investigaciones en las que se identifican barreras turísticas en comunidades indígenas y rurales, que tienen que ver con: falta de conocimiento global sobre turismo (Aref, 2011;Ahmeti, 2013); escaza participación de la comunidad en las actividades turísticas, especialmente de las personas indígenas (Hunt, 2005), sobre todo en la fase de planeación turística (Ahmeti, 2013); y deficiencias en el desarrollo de la innovación, para la generación de productos, servicios y soluciones a las necesidades de los turistas (Alkier et al, 2017).…”

En este documento se extiende el marco de capacidades dinámicas al ámbito del turismo comunitario. El modelo de investigación desarrollado permite comprender cómo los procesos históricos de colonización han cimentado las barreras al turismo, y explica estas barreras como rigideces que le impiden a la comunidad lograr congruencia con los cambios de su entorno y la implementación de la actividad turística. Los resultados evidencian la presencia de barreras a la detección de información turística; barreras a la internalización de esta información; y barreras a la transformación, en cuanto a la aplicación del conocimiento en innovaciones. Estas barreras se encuentran relacionadas entre sí, conformando un círculo vicioso que limita el éxito de las iniciativas turísticas en comunidades mixtecas de Oaxaca.
