...CUTTING EDGE: OUR WEEKLY ANALYSIS OF MARKETING NEWS 12 March 2014 Welcome to our weekly analysis of the most useful marketing news for CIM, CAM and Sales Leadership Alliance members. Quick links to sections Marketing trends and issues Advertising Consumer perceptions of expense This study examines whether consumers make judgments about brands not just on the basis of what is communicated in advertising but on how the message is communicated. In particular it investigates the effect of perceived advertising expense and effort of the advertiser. An analysis of 4,000 consumers reveals that ads with higher-thanaverage perceived expense and effort have a positive effect on brand attitude, brand interest and word-of-mouth. In contrast ads with lower perceived expense have negative effects. International Journal of Advertising. Vol 33(1) 2014, pp137154 (Modig et al) Digital could make up for loss of print Online publishers and news websites enjoyed advertising growth of 18% last year according to the Association of Online Publishers (AOP) and Deloitte. Their data indicates that digital revenues grew at their fastest rate since 2008; this has been attributed to the rise of mobile, since advertising on smartphones rose by 60% in the last quarter of 2013.

Some publishers are already indicating that digital revenues are making up...

...Introduction This study examines the linkages between Human Resource Management, Organisational Strategy and Organisational culture. With every single link exists between them we studied the relations and how that effects management and ultimately helps the Human resource managers through several of theorists and management theories to achieve their goal and benefit the organisation in order to bring profitability. Human Resource Management (HRM) In simple and short form Human resource management is the process of hiring and developing employees so that they can become more valuable to the organisation. HRM is also strategic and comprehensive approach to managing people and the workplace culture and environment. Effective HRM enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organisation’s goals and objectives. HRM is moving away from traditional personnel, administration, and transactional roles. Now HRM is expected to add value to the strategic utilization of employees and that employee programs impact the business in measurable ways. The new role of HRM involves strategic direction and culture. Developments in the field of HRM are well documented (see Sisson and Storey, 2000). The history of HRM goes back as far as the 1950s. This was succeeded by the ‘Behavioural science movement’ in the 1960s headed by Maslow, Argyris and Herzberg. These theorists argued for a better quality of working life...

...find the parameters that have to be changed to improve the bricks lifetime in the kiln. The use of bricks with higher alumina content is one of the solutions, but it is expensive. The influence of Alkalis and especially Na2O has been studied before in inert atmosphere. In this work it will be studied in air as well as the influence of the alumina content of the brick. Experiments were performed in air atmosphere, using powder samples that have been compressed into pellets. The devices used to characterize the reaction and the product of the reaction were: Kanthal furnace, X-ray diffraction (XRD), dilatometer, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry (DSC/TG) in-situ mass spectrometer, Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The XRD experiments permitted to show the presence of a glassy phase after a heat treatment of the samples containing alkalis at 1350°C. Dilatometer experiments gave more information about the influence of alkalis; it catalyzed the sintering reaction. The DSC/TG/spectrometer permitted to...
