    Neoliberal urbanity and the right to the city: A view from Beirut's periphery

    No full text
    Drawing on Lefebvre's theorization of space in order to examine the compatibility of neoliberalism and the right to the city, this study investigates how the formation of informal settlements since the 1950s had provided low-income dwellers in Beirut (Lebanon) a means to conceive of and engage in city making (neighbourhood production, management, and organization) at a time when state regulations and-or market constraints would have excluded them from the city. It also examines how the prevailing neoliberal ideology of the 1990s, as translated through Lebanon's sectarian-clientelist regime, is curtailing these possibilities. Evidence for the article was drawn from interviews with dwellers, developers and public officials, as well as from archival searches and aerial photographs. © Institute of Social Studies 2009.AJAMI F, 1987, VANISHED IMAM; Aveline N., 2000, 6 CERMOCORBR; Benton Lauren, 1994, SOCIAL LEGAL STUDIES, V3, P223, DOI 10.1177-096466399400300202; BERRYCHIKHANOUI I, 2000, COMPETENCES CITADINS; BEY H, 1991, TAZ TEMPORARY AUTOMA; BOURGEY A, 1973, REV GEOGRAPHIE LYON, V48, P107, DOI 10.3406-geoca.1973.1623; Brenner N, 2002, ANTIPODE, V34, P349, DOI 10.1111-1467-8330.00246; Charara W., 1996, DAWLAT HEZBOLLAH; Davis M., 2007, PLANET SLUMS; de Souza M.

    Extending IT infrastructures in the service sector organisations through enterprise resource planning – a telecom case study

    No full text
    Copyright @ 2012 ISEing.Service Sector Organisations (SSOs) have significantly focused on adopting and implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems to automate their prime business processes, enhance organisational productivity with lower costs and prompt service delivery to fulfil consumer demands. Thus, ERP systems are considered as a principal source to provide imperative information vital for strategic decision making process. On the contrary, ERP systems adoption and implementation is also highly considered as a challenging and expensive process that not only requires rigorous efforts but also demands to have an exhaustive investigation of influential factors that are critical to the adoption and implementation of ERP systems. As a result, the authors exhibit that it is of great significance to investigate this area within SSOs. In so doing, this paper thus focuses on the ERP critical success factors from five different categories such as: stakeholders; process; technology; organisation; and project based on the literature analysis. These perspectives comprise of 24 factors that are imperative for a successful ERP adoption and implementation. These factors are validated through an in-depth qualitative single case study based research. The findings from the literature and empirical demonstrate that most of the factors influencing the decision making process for ERP adoption and implementation are highly significant with exception to few that have either low or medium importance

    The politics of property in planning: Hezbollah's reconstruction of Haret Hreik (Beirut, Lebanon) as case study

    No full text
    This research looks at post-2006-war reconstruction of the southern suburbs of Beirut under the auspices of Hezbollah (the Islamic resistance movement in Lebanon). The project was widely acclaimed as an alternative to current neoliberal planning practices in the Middle East and beyond. Based on a critical reading of the conception of property issues in this planning project, the article argues that this reconstruction presents a new geometry or alternative to the mainstream configuration of neoliberal urbanism, rather than a departure from its precepts. The reason for this is that the adopted language of property corresponds closely with the conception of property advocated by neoliberal planning, one that enshrines private, individual ownership as sacred and desirable and that works to strengthen its model in the city. I further argue that the 'neoliberal planning regime' within which Hezbollah's urban intervention occurs is not accidental; rather, it is necessary for the party's control of this space's future and for consolidating its territory in the city. It is hence expected that Hezbollah's planning in the city will produce the same decried effects as neoliberal planning elsewhere in the city rather than usher an innovative, progressive model of planning. © 2014 Urban Research Publications Limited.Abi-Samra M., 2004, WAR TESTIMONIE UNPUB; Blackmar E., 2006, POLITICS PUBLIC SPAC; Blomley N., 2004, UNSETTLING CITY; Blomley N, 2004, ANTIPODE, V36, P614, DOI 10.1111-j.1467-8330.2004.00440.x; Bollens S.
