Chapter 11: Pentecostal Religion, Asset Assessment and Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse
SUMMARY Religious support systems offer much promise for collaborative interventions with alcohol and other drug abuse organizations. This article presents a case study of an asset assessment of eleven Puerto Rican Pentecostal churches in a New England community and the alcohol and other drug abuse and other types of services provided to the community. A set of recommendations will be presented for the development of agency collaborative projects/activity with this important Puerto Rican natural support system.
The capital budgeting practices of U.S. firms have been studied extensively. There have been fewer st udies of capital budgeting practices in the Asia-Pacific reg ion. Generally, the studies include results for firms in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Aus tralia, and China. This paper extends these studie s by surveying executives of Taiwanese firms regarding their firms ’ capital budgeting practices. The survey is impor tant and interesting given Taiwan’s current and growing impo rtance in the world economy.
