Economic Research Group is a unique experiment in developing
an organizational culture with flexibility and minimal overheads. It
primarily connects human resources through an effectively functioning
internet service and computer-aided office software. It has currently
a small office setup with six desktops and and two network printers,
with provisions for additional connections in a LAN environment. The
users, who may just hop in at any time, may connect with the internet
from any of these connections. ERG accounts are maintained by an
administrative-cum-accounts officer, and all such matters are
organized in self-developed excel-based templates.
ERG website is a key
platform around which much of the disseminations take place. While a
web manager undertakes the load of providing basic design, researchers
affiliated with ERG regularly interact to provide their inputs into
the design. We aim at decentralizing web-based activities so that
several researchers may simultaneously contribute towards updating the
site.
It is important to
note that ERG purposively aims at maintaining a low resource base in
terms of tangible physical infrastructures, such as, training centers,
accommodations, and other facilities. It believes that the markets for
such services are now well-developed in the city, and an organization
may benefit by relying on such services. In addition, the network of
organizations with which ERG has collaborated over its limited period
of existence, which includes Brac, East West University and North
South University, is a major source to draw upon through collaborative
efforts.
The backbone of
ERG activities is the pool of researchers, and the activities that
attract young ones into the fold. Various persons who are involved
with ERG activities and may make their services available depending on
the areas of their interests, are listed below. You may learn more on
them by accessing linked sites.
