...Topic: CONSUMERS’ PERCEPTION ON PRODUCT QUALITY AND BRAND DILUTION ON VARIOUS SEGMENTS OF TOBACCO INDUSTRY IN BANGLADESH - AN EMPIRICAL STUDY TO IDENTIFY THE SCOPE OF IMPROVEMENT FOR BATB Abstract: Now a day’s quality of the products is the primary concern for the customers. Customers value their money and always prefer the quality product. Tobacco industry is a potential industry and its growth is also related with national GDP. About one percent of our GDP is used in consumption of tobacco product that’s why it becomes a huge market for the competitors of tobacco industry. As the cigarette is both competitive and controversial product so marketing of this product is very difficult. There are many tobacco companies in Bangladesh. Among them British American Tobacco Bangladesh (BATB) is a pioneer and leading multinational cigarette manufacturer followed by local manufacturer Dhaka tobacco. This paper tried to find out the relation with quality and brand dilution and brand dilution occurs broadly in FMCG industry. Brand dilution is the weakening of a brand though its overuse. This frequently happens as a result of ill-judged brand extension. Price cutting that increases sales volumes but moves a brand down-market can be similarly damage a brand. Brand dilution is an ever present risk for companies that rely on a strong brand for high margins. A company that owns a strong brand obviously wants to leverage it to sell as much as possible, but the very strategies used to purse...

...satellites that make up what is now known as the Global Positioning System. Because of these, a person can purchase a little device that has the capability to track and verify their exact location within a few hundred feet. This fantastic technology only became available because the combination of scientific and engineering advances, especially the development of the atomic clock. The atomic clocks are precise within a billionth of a second. The development of the atomic clocks were important because the scientists were searching for answers about the nature of the universe. In the development of the atomic clocks, the physicists were unaware that one day their findings would lead to the global system that we use today. For centuries the stars and the sun were the only way people could navigate or to find their way. Even after clocks were developed, it was possible for people to find their longitude but even with the most accurate instruments, exact locations were only good within a few miles. The Soviet Union launched their first satellite, Sputnik on October 4, 1957. This new technology did little more than orbit the earth every 98 minutes. It was not equipped with any scientific equipment although it did contain a single radio transmitter, which made it easy for the United States to track its path. The United States learned that they could listen to the changes in the radio frequency and figure out the location of the satellite. Even though the launch of Sputnik was pretty insignificant...

CEOs at the world’s most successful companies know that they can only safeguard their business’s competitive future if they have the right leaders to develop and implement their strategy. While CEOs know they can also hire external candidates, they also know that the track record of outside hires can be very unpredictable. CEOs and HR Directors from those organizations seen as best by their peers for managing talent, prefer to ensure they develop a good bench-strength of talent from inside their own organizations.

...would like thank Marvin Washington and one anonymous reviewer from the Journal of Management Inquiry for helpful feedback and encouragement in the writing of this article. 1 ABSTRACT This paper argues that the BP Oil Spill is, potentially, a “cultural anomaly” for institutional changes in environmental management and fossil fuel production. The problem as defined by the spill’s context, the potential solutions provided by the competing logics in that context, and the selection of problem-solution bundles through the fortuitous timing of events and more calculative efforts of institutional entrepreneurs within that context have come close to acting as a catalyst for deeper change; but not quite. For reasons we discuss, true change in our approach to handling issues related to oil drilling, oil consumption and environmental management have yet to occur. 2 THE BP OIL...

...For the exclusive use of N. Sinden, 2015. 9-602-061 REV: MARCH 18, 2002 STEFAN THOMKE Siemens AG: Global Development Strategy (A) It was the spring of 2000, but even under the afternoon shade of the palm trees at the Oberoi hotel in Bangalore, South India, it felt like summer. Horst Eberl sat contemplating the recommendations that he and his subdivisional co-head, Karl-Friedrich Hunke, would be preparing for the Siemens Information and Communications Networks (ICN) management board. Things were neat, tidy, and cool on this grassy side of the hotel. Just outside the main walls however lay the dust, pollution, and confusion of the Indian traffic. And if one took life in one’s hands by darting through the traffic, across the street lay Siemens’ regional development center in India, scattered among floors rented in three different office buildings. Two back-up power generators, as well as battery backup for all computers, helped ensure a reliable infrastructure for the 600 personnel here. What vexed Eberl and Hunke was that Deutsche Telekom, Siemens ICN’s largest customer, was upset because of slow product delivery on a new telecommunications software product, the so-called NetManager. For a variety of reasons the project had rapidly mushroomed in size and scope beyond what had been initially envisioned. To solve the problem, Eberl, co-head of ICN’s largest subdivision, had to travel some 7000 kilometers to this dusty corner of the world: despite the conveniences...

...J. Bradford DeLong Battered but Not and Beaten J. Bradford DeLong U.C. Berkeley October 29, 2010 Is This Really Our Proper Timeline? This talk has turned out to be rather more of a selftherapeutic exercise--or perhaps a call for psychological help--than is appropriate for this conference. But you go to the conference with the talk you have, and not the talk you wish you had. So let me start. These days I wake up. Blearly-eyed, I stumble down the stairs. And while I am eating my wheaties the macroeconomic situation hits me. And I stop, with the spoon halfway between the bowl and my mouth. I then find myself thinking: 1 J. Bradford DeLong This cannot be real. This has to be some horrible mistake, some dystopian alternate timeline--like that Star Trek episode with the transporter malfunction and evil-Spock-with-a-beard... And then I stare unproductively at the wall for a while as I try to piece together how exactly we got here. What I Was Saying Two Years Ago Last week I went back and looked at all of my talks from the fall and winter of 2008. Back then I was ringing changes on three themes: 1. We are in substantial trouble: the collapse of the housing bubble triggered a mortgagefinance crisis that snowballed into a general financial crisis and a flight to safety that would, if unchecked, produce the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression itself. 2. Normal stabilizing monetary policy tools cannot help us any more. The standard policy moves we...

...CHAP TER Introducing Psychology Psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior. The word “psychology” comes from the Greek words “psyche,” meaning life, and “logos,” meaning explanation. Psychology is a popular major for students, a popular topic in the public media, and a part of our everyday lives. Television shows such as Dr. Phil feature psychologists who provide personal advice to those with personal or family difficulties. Crime dramas such as CSI, Lie to Me, and others feature the work of forensic psychologists who use psychological principles to help solve crimes. And many people have direct knowledge about psychology because they have visited psychologists, for instance, school counselors, family therapists, and religious, marriage, or bereavement counselors. Because we are frequently exposed to the work of psychologists in our everyday lives, we all have an idea about what psychology is and what psychologists do. In many ways I am sure that your conceptions are correct. Psychologists do work in forensic fields, and they do provide counseling and therapy for people in distress. But there are hundreds of thousands of psychologists in the world, and most of them work in other places, doing work that you are probably not aware of. Most psychologists work in research laboratories, hospitals, and other field settings where they study the behavior of humans and animals. For instance, my colleagues in the Psychology Department at the University of Maryland study such...
