...Chapter- One Introduction Report Objective The objective of this report is to identify “Causes of Low Market Demand of Rupali Bank Ltd and Measures to Change the Situation”. This report is done in order to analyze the causes of low market demand which influence customer satisfaction from Rupali Bank Ltd and measures to change the situation. In the current competitive market though different banks are providing different services to grab maximum market share, still customers have their own evaluation or judgment to find the satisfaction level of the service provided by the banks. Market demand depends on customer satisfaction. Analyzing the causes of low market demand is a complex process and sometimes customers even measure their satisfaction based on such factors that they even don’t have clear idea about those issues or factors. The underlying problem in predicting customer choice resides much more in the fact that market demand depends on many different criteria simultaneously, including brand, service and product quality, performance, price, features, and so on. This problem is further confounded in service applications, where customers may consider intangible features and characteristics of the market offerings for e.g., service quality, benefits, safety and trust; interactions between service providers and customers. Thus, incorporating customer preferences and choices into day-to-day managerial decisions is extremely important for today’s highly competitive environment...

...This article is a copy of the one published in New Society Magazine No.237, January-February 2012, ISSN 0251-3552, www.nuso.org A major transition for a great transformation Reflections from the Yasuní-ITT Initiative René Ramírez Gallegos1 When discussing the development of a political project from the Left there are two opposing positions or aspects: those which promote the idea of better managing and regulating capitalism – that is, striving for “good capitalism” – and those who hold anticapitalist positions. The author of this article argues that a Left that does not give up on the generation of alternatives to capitalism but at the same time is responsible for governing, should think about a “great transition” without losing sight of the horizon of a “great transformation”. This article analyzes the Yasuní-ITT Initiative and presents it as an example of how to merge concrete and innovative proposals (transition) and utopias which go beyond capitalist development (transformation). Key words: Left, Capitalism, Good Living/Sumak Kawsay, Yasuní-ITT The world does not need alternatives for development, but alternatives to development. The world does not need to “better” use capitalism, but to transform it. That is the great historical challenge that the Left should take on, both intellectually and politically. The concept of “development” has been recycled and reborn again and again for all its critics and detractors. However, in a strict sense it has never been questioned...

...Trends in the U.S. Airline Industry One trend in the Airline Industry which has not endeared them to investors has been stock prices. According to Thompson, Strickland, and Gamble, (2010) a significant trend in a drop in stock value has occurred from 2002 to 2007. Analysts indicate positive directions in the next year, however with the Airline Index at $40, Jet Blue showing $5.54, and Southwest at $11.63 one is tempted to ask if there is any direction they can take but up, or out. One can anticipate airlines seeking cost cutting measures, added with increasing revenue streams in order to revitalize the value of the companies, and through such the value of investments. Analysts indicate a trend towards an increase in airline travel demand over the next year. As one of the leading analysts Dirks (2011), points out that despite increase in Video Telecommuting for business resulting in reduction in business travel, many families are finding the cost of fuel is causing them to rethink driving and relooking at air travel. Statistics support this and reflect that as of this past November among the top six airlines, two reported their best traffic levels in 18 months. Many airlines reflected increases in miles flown per passenger, and passenger numbers have returned to the high passenger counts of 2007. These factors are supplemented by the Official Airline Guide (2011) which tracks air industry trends. The OAG reports a record number of seat bookings in April 2011....

These include employee giveaways, donations to charity, and in some cases, an execution of the old mainframe. Most all old computers are considered toxic waste and must be disposed of properly. When it comes to household computer monitors they are usually not considered hazardous waste and are not included under federal regulations, however if you wish to disposed of one, you may want to make sure that the hard drive has been cleaned. Now for the heart of this issue. Since old computers are considered toxic waste, the main way that most businesses handle obsolete computers is to let a recycling company handle the dirty work. These companies are regulated by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, but you have to use caution to make sure that the company that you choose to use is regulated. So it pays to do your research, and it is well worth...

...FROGBOX Case Lauren sighed. Although she was excited about the idea of moving to a new city after graduating from her MBA – her new job was going to be amazing – she also was dreading the move. When she had last moved as a student, she didn`t have as much “stuff” as she would need to take care of now. Just thinking about where she was going to find all the boxes that she would need made her feel tired. As a student, she also was on a very tight budget last time, and picked up boxes at the grocery and liquor stores. It was cheap but it only worked out because she didn’t have that much to move and it wasn’t that heavy. She wondered if she could afford to purchase ready-made boxes this time. Her older and more financially secure sister and brother-in law had done that last time they moved, but Lauren wasn’t sure she could swing it. New boxes could run as high as $3.00 for each 3-cubic foot box. Certainly she wasn’t going to be able to move like her new boss who just hired a moving company to bring the boxes, pack everything and drive it all to his new address. One of her friends, Julie, who also would be heading off to a new job, was excited about a company she had seen on Dragon’s Den, the Canadian reality business TV show.1 Named FROGBOX, it was created in 2008 as an environmentally friendly moving solution. Instead of having to use cardboard boxes, FROGBOX would supply high-density polyethylene plastic boxes that they would deliver to your current address and pick up from your...
