...ABSTRACT Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy of Bangladesh which provides 63% employment and contributing 18.6% to the national GDP. But unfortunately the farmer’s community is one of the most deprived ones in our country and frequent access to information remains one of the crying needs for a long time period. It can enable them to enhance their quality of life. It has been argued that telecommunication operators can come to aid in this respect. Telecommunications operators have already expanded their services and provided specialized agro-based services to the farmers. This paper attempts to investigate the attitude of the farmers about these agro-based services provided by the telecommunication operator. It also explored the characteristics of the user’s and their perception. Data were collected from 120 respondents who were the user of telecommunication operator’s agro-based services from selected areas from August 18 to October 15, 2011. The data were collected through a structured interview schedule. Evidence from interviews, personal observations suggest that most of the user of these services were young, had little farming experience with small farm side and from small to medium families. These services were treated helpful to overcome their obstacles to information collection but still not efficient like the means they use to collect information traditionally. They wanted information in various field of agriculture especially in the area of price...

...HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN Pakistan came into being on 14th August, 1947; sufficient banking services were available in the areas forming Pakistan. Out of the total branches of the nearly 3,500 in the undivided India, as many as about 1,500 branches were existing in these areas. It was agreed between the two countries that reserve bank of India shall continue to function in the Pakistan territory until 30th September 1948 and that Indian notes would continue to be legal tender at Pakistan until 30th September 1948. Unfortunately, relationship between the two countries became most strained immediately after independence; banking was mostly in the lands of Hindus who immediately started transferring their offices and assets into India. As a result most of the banks in Pakistan were closed down and even those which were open were not doing any effective business. The number of banking office in Pakistan came down to about 200 on 30th June 1948. Branches of some European banks were also functioning in a limited manner, financing in export of crops, and their number was limited to about 20. It was only the Habib bank, which transferred its office from Bombay to Karachi Austral Asia bank was another bank, which was in existence in the Pakistan territory at the time of independence. Despite of best efforts on the part of government of Pakistan, no heady way could be made on this behalf and reserve bank of India was in no mood to help the new country. Imperial bank of India...

...performance, and health. Organizational Context For two hundred years, DuPont has followed its set of core values. Safety and health are priorities, and in the 90 countries that DuPont services its industry customers, there is a broad range of products that are offered (DuPont, 2016). DuPont is considered a Science Company. The Security and Exchange Commission Standard Industry Classification is Plastic Material, Synthetic Resin/ Rubber, Cellulos (No Glass). In this SIC, there are a handful of companies, overall lowering competition in this field. Appendix I highlights the Industries, the Products/Services, and the vast geographical area of DuPont’s reach. DuPont is inclusive of ten businesses. The six Business Segments are reported as Agriculture, Electronics & Communications, Industrial Biosciences, Nutrition & Health, Performance Materials and Safety & Protection (DuPont, 2016, p.4). Agriculture’s segment performance depends on the weather to cooperative with the growing seasons. If the season hits the crops hard, the sales price will be increased to the consumer, which could results in lowered sales and less revenue in this segment. Cyber-attacks, inability to develop new products and power outages are some of the negative influences that DuPont has to factor into capital expenditures in the yearly budgets.

...INTRODUCTION * Economics is divided into two branches: Microeconomics and macroeconomics. 1. Microeconomics is the study of how individual Households and firms make decisions and how they interact with one Another in markets. 2. Macroeconomics is the study of the economy as a whole. The Goal of macroeconomics is to explain the economic changes that affect many Households, firms, and markets at once. * Macroeconomists address diverse questions: * Why is average income high in some countries while it is low in others? * Why do prices rise rapidly in some periods of time while they are more stable in other Periods? * Why do production and employment expand in some years and contract In others? * What, if anything, can the government do to promote rapid growth in Incomes, low inflation, and stable employment? * These questions are all macroeconomic in nature because they concern the workings of the entire economy. * Because the condition of the overall economy profoundly affects all of us, changes in economic conditions are widely reported by the media. Indeed, it is hard to pick up a newspaper without seeing some newly reported statistic about the economy. The statistic might measure the total income of everyone in the economy (GDP), the rate at which average prices are rising (inflation), the percentage of the labor force that is out of work (unemployment), total spending at stores (retailsales), or the imbalance of trade between...

...Value of Sustainability Coca-Cola’s Mission statement is “to refresh the world in mind, body and spirit, to inspire moments of optimism and happiness, to create value and make a difference.” This statement is very broad and only addresses general differences that they want to make in the world. Their vision for the company, on the other hand, addresses the planet, stating the company will “be a responsible citizen that makes a difference by helping build and support sustainable communities.” Their sustainability report discusses their main framework called “Me, We, World” and the advancements they have made in these areas. They show their many goals for themselves, for the people of the world, and for sustaining the world. Their goals for sustainability in the report include improving water efficiency as well as recycling and treating water. Although Coca-Cola is very big on sustainability now and has been for the past few years, Coca-Cola has not been without some issues with sustainability. In 2008, Coca-Cola through the actions of its subsidiary, Industria Nacional de Gaseosas, was fined $110,000 for dumping its industrial waste in Columbia’s sewage system. Coca-Cola has also been fined and punished in India for excessive water use and toxic pollution; they were forced to close down a bottling factory. Despite all these previous issues, Coca-Cola has been more active in sustainability efforts. The Chairman and CEO, Muhtar Kent, penned a letter on the topic of Coca-Cola...

...The statement is saying that the US Department of Agriculture values chicken nuggets and Tater Tots over healthful fresh foods in school cafeterias because the later lacks sufficient calories while the former provides ample. The article argues that this trend is occurring because the USDA, which is in charge or forming and enforcing federal laws about agriculture and food, is rigged by commercial interests to promote not what’s healthy, but what’s cheap to make and hits the calorie requirements the fastest. These commercial interests are represented in the farm bill, which subsidizes corn, soybean, and wheat while doing almost nothing to support the growth of fresh produce. That’s because commercial interests lobby for subsidies for corn and soybean which can be modified into tasty sugars and fats, which attracts consumers, thus allowing the commercial interests to gain profit in power, which leads to more lobbying and greater subsidies in their interest. This positive feedback cycle is at the root of the obesity problem, and explains why chicken nuggets and Tater Tots (both including modified corn and soy in their...

Piette carefully writes this article in hopes of maybe trying to show the oil field companies just what they are doing. That is why this article is going to help me prove my point and hopefully win over some oil field companies. If anything, this article makes me certain of the direction of the paper and what side I am on. I plan to pin point exact evidence such as lesions on fish and lung problems in dolphins. I plan to bring out the hard evidence and proof of just what is happening to these animals. Dragna, Lee. Interview Allie Dragna. 15 12 2012. In the interview with Lee Dragna, he shared personal experience about the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. His 9-year-old son saw the devastation on TV and wanted his father to fix it because he simply could “fix anything”. Dragna got to looking into it and realized maybe he could just fix this. Dragna builds and salvages barges for a living and realized he could put something together that would pick up oil, the Big Gulp. The Big Gulp is about the size of a football field. It picked up nearly 5,000 barrels of oil per day for 50 days, with 7 barges total....

...Businesses only act in an ethical way because it looks good rather than because it is the right thing to do. To what extent do you agree with this statement? (40 Marks) Businesses are differentiated in several ways but one way that really separates businesses are the ethics of the company. Ethics are the standards of right and wrong behaviour from the company, this is difficult for a business as they all have different ethics and to what extent how ethical they are and should be, if they even want to be ethical? I will now look at businesses that have different ethics and how this has affected their running of the business, also evaluating why they chose to be so ethical. One company that do not publicise their ethical culture is Ben and Jerry’s, the ice cream giant with their elaborate and quirky flavours which they have become iconic for started a revolution by becoming the first ever company to become ‘fair trade’ with Vanilla Ice Cream in 2006 and have declared all European products by 2011 will be and by the end of 2013 the rest of the worlds production. This basically meant everyone involved in the process of creating the ice cream including the labour such as farmers who extracted the raw materials to produce their goods such as cocoa beans were paid at a good rate which would’ve increased their costs but not significantly. The reason costs didn’t rise significantly was mainly due to the company expanding allowing them to exploit economies of scale by bulk-buying their...
