Background of the study Organizational behavior is one of the compulsory studies of business. The importance of organizational behavior rests in understanding how individuals, groups, and organizational structures interact and affect one another. A manager's job is to manage people, who constitute the "organization". If he can't understand these people (i.e. their behavior), how can he manage them? According to Stephen Robbins "Organizational behavior is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structure have on behavior within organization for the purpose of applying such knowledge toward improving an organization's effectiveness."So, as long as organizations are consisted of individuals, it is very important to know and learn about these fundamental elements of the firms. And that is the reason the concept of organizational behavior is a major field of study these days. Each person has an inherent need to understand and predict the world because much of each individual's time is spent working in or around organization, Organization Behavior theories are particularly helpful in satisfying this innate drive to make sense of the workplace and help in creating an internal environment whereby an individual’s work together in groups to accomplish their group goals efficiently.
For learning this course to the proper depth, we are deciding to analyze the OB Model of “Banglalion” and “Robi” in the context of Telecom sector in Bangladesh.

To understand the social system in the organization. 5. To know the motivation level of the employees. 6. To realize encouragement of the people, to work enthusiastically in the organization. 7. To create an environment is how important for the development of effective leadership. 8. To develop effective group behavior among the employees. 9. To find out the reasons for frustration and reduce or eliminate the reasons. 10. The moral of employees of the organization. 11. To how maintaining the organizational environment favorable for the work. 12. To find out the ways for effective organizational development.

Methodology of the study
This part will describe the approach to the project. The ambition is to describe the process of the gathering and compiling information for the project work as clearly as possible, in order to enable a critical review of the credibility of the final results. The choice of methodological approach depends upon the nature of the investigation to be carried out, its purpose and problem statement. For this project, the main approach is mainly determined by the guidelines for the task. The problem statement and purpose that iscomposed for the project in the beginning has guided the work from collection of information to analysis of Findings in relation to theory.

Primary research: For primary research we are going to take help from the employees of Banglalion and Robi. We will try to talk with them according to the provided questionnaire.
Secondary research: Secondarily weare going to take help from some reliable websites, article and newspapers for collecting more information.

Limitations of the study

Limitations mean the influences that the researcher cannot control. They are the shortcomings, conditions or influences that cannot be controlled by the researcher that place restrictions on your methodology and conclusions and we have also faced some problems while doing this assignment. There is a list of those limitations:

1. Collecting data may not that easy because of lack of information and misrepresentation. 2. Depth of this study is too deep that time is always in a shortage. 3. The companies never want to disclose their maximum details so it can cause more boundaries.

4. Questionnaires are based on the perceptions of the research subjects and therefore increase the chances of subjectivity when completing the questionnaires can curve.

HISTORY
Banglalion Communications Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in Bangladesh on 5 Nov 2008 under the Companies Act, 1994.[1] Banglalion Communications Ltd (Banglalion) is the largest 4G Wireless Broadband operator in Bangladesh which is using WiMAX technology at present and obtained nationwide license from BTRC to provide Broadband Wireless Access services. Banglalion license covers Data, Voice and Video. Banglalion now covers 7 divisional headquarters and 30 major districts of Bangladesh and expanding rapidly with a goal to cover the whole country by the end of 2012. Banglalion is currently the largest 4G network of Bangladesh in terms of coverage, subscriber number and revenue.

Mission

* Bring increased access to information. * Enable greater options for connectivity through mobility. * Empower more people to embrace a knowledge-based lifestyle. * Encourage development and dissemination of local content.

Vision

Banglalion strongly believes that subscribers are their most valuable assests. We strive to be the most preferred wireless technology solutions provider to delight users for the fastest access to information, entertainment and voice for knowledge based prosperous community. We will continually push the boundaries of internet experience for speed and services and we will be the most valuable company in Bangladesh

Goals
Discover WiMAX in Bangladesh.To employ resources as incendiary for the growth of ISP sector.To provide service for the parties involved and invention of the necessary newservice dimension.To search for new buyers for investment and help to develop products to suit such needs.

Contribution to the economy of our country : (Robi,Banglalion and whole telecom industry)
This is born out by key economic indicators. "The inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) grew by 26 per cent with telecommunication sector making highest growth in the 2008-09 fiscal years over that of the previous fiscal. A total of around US $ 430 million was invested in the country's telecommunication sector, particularly by fast-growing mobile phone companies in FY 09," a recent study of Bangladesh Bank reveals. Investment from this industry as of December 2008 stands around BDT 30,000 (Thirty Thousand) crore.
Contributions of mobile industry to the National Exchequer are worth more than BDT 20,000 (Twenty Thousand) crore, as of December '08. It has generated direct and indirect employment of 6,75,000 (six lakh seventy five thousand) people till 2006-07 FY which has increased further in recent years.

The mobile phone sector has also made possible the availability of data enabling services across Bangladesh. Mobile internet has helped, and will likely continue, to bridge the digital divide between people with access to information and services, and those without paving the way for materializing the dream of "Digital Bangladesh". This is especially also given the greater mobile coverage reaching 97% of the population which extends into areas beyond the fixed-lines network. It was estimated that there were over 5 million mobile internet users. Geographic location as a result will become less of a barrier to social and economic inclusion, especially amongst those within the rural areas, helping support local development, avoiding unnecessary migration and improving socio-geographic structure.
"The average tariff of a pre-paid mobile in Bangladesh is the lowest in the world," the ICT Development Index 2009 of International Telecommunication Union reveals.
The cellular industry has influenced everyday-life of the millions and made communication easier which has great impact on the economy of the country. As of today, the industry, all by itself contributes 8% of the National Revenue (2008) and invested highest amount of FDI (59%) as per the Bangladesh Bank report (2008).
Following are some highlights of the contributions of the telecom sector of Bangladesh:
Growth over a decade - from 1997 to July'09: * Access to telecom was only four lac people, tele-density less than 0.4% in 1997 * At present about 47.97 Million (4.7 crore) people have access to affordable telecommunication services and tele-density is more than 32%.

It is widely accepted that telecommunications as a part of infrastructure as well as a component of information communications technologies (ICTs) are essential to countries’ economic development. Obviously, investing in telecommunications infrastructure does itself stimulate economic growth because its products (like cable, switches) lead to increases in the demand for the goods and services used in their production. However, the economic returns on telecommunications infrastructure investment are much greater than the returns on just the telecommunications investment itself, because telecommunications are connected to other sectors of the economy through back-up and forward-linkages, having spillover effects on these sectors and creating externalities.

Summary: Banglalion ,one of the wimax provider in Bangladesh has announced they will set 300 tower in capital.”Initially we will deploy 15 – 20 towers in Dhaka to cover certain area” Victor Neuton D’Cruise, operations manager of Banglalion said. “Surroundings around Prime minister’s office along with some major places are our primary targets. Around 300 towers are required to cover the capital while one single tower will cover up to nine km. Samsung will carry out the project”. Within next three years, it is possible to provide network coverage all over the country, he said. Banglalion will manage 100 % local backbone to deploy the network. New WiMAX providers don’t have any backbone of their own. While replying to a question of how it is possible to provide internet service in such a short time without a backbone, Major Rakib said, “Nationwide backbone is already established by several other companies. That is enough for a small country like Bangladesh. We asked them to deploy network within five years all over the country. At least 85% of the areas should be under coverage. Otherwise fines will be imposed. So we advised them to share network with already established companies to ensure coverage.”

But sharing the network will add to the burden of WiMAX operators. To be profitable, in that case, they have to add the additional cost of backbone with the bandwidth price. At this time, constructing a nationwide backbone may be costly and time consuming, but it can be fruitful in future.

They also give non financial benefit like traing,good environment etc. For all these thing in Robi Company employee satisfied and they always try to give their best output.

Turnover:
Losing a single employee can cost tens of thousands of dollars, which means a wave of employee turnover can quickly run up costs ranging into the hundreds of thousands. No one can afford that kind of hit financially or to productivity, yet it so commonly happens, causing employee turnover rates for some companies to spike as high as 30-40% annually. Turnover two types;

Voluntary turnover: When employee switching one organization to other organization it’s known as voluntary turnover. For making this term paper we talked Robi’s Employees. Most of the employees are satisfied with their job. But in Robi getting promotion is very difficult so some employee switch the company.

Involuntary turnover: When company fired the employee that is known as involuntary turnover. For many reason company fired the employee like Work force reduction, restructuring the company and disciplinary reasons. But in Robi Company they terminate many employees. Some Robi Employees protest for this termination

Deviant Workplace Behaviour: Workplace deviance can take the form of aggressive behavior. Common examples include sexual harassment, intimidation and showing open hostility toward co-workers. In diverse work environments, deviance may occur when employees display intolerance of co-workers of different nationalities or cultures. In work situations where safety is paramount, such as on construction or highway repair sites, aggressive behavior can result from workers performing in a reckless manner that endangers the safety of coworker. Robi Company designed their employee benefit in such a way that ensures the employee and employee’s family wellbeing. If any employee do this kind of behavior in the Robi Company supervisor observe the behavior and try to know why the employee do this kind of behavior. And the supervisor tries to solve those employees problem.

Organizational Citizenship Behaviour:
That is not a part of regular activities. When employee doing more task than their regular activities that is called organizational citizenship behavior. It is very positive sign for the organizarion. Robi company gives increment on the basic of performance. In Robi company always try to satisfy the employee.

Job Satisfication:

It’s your attitude or positive felling about your job. It is a very important factor. Robi company they measure employees satisfaction in a single global rating.

Independent variables:

Bottom of Form
Individual Level variables:
Apart from the measurable dependent variables, an organization must work with the person’s individual level. It’s all about a person’s personality, perception of work, common attitude, behavior, intellectual ability, unique psychology are all part of an employees’ Individual Level variables. The more personal the problems are, the obvious it is to immediately deal with.

Group Level:
When a bunch of different people work in a group, they all try to work in their own way. The complexity is increased when we recognize that people behavior when they are in groups is different from their behavior when they are alone. Therefore, the next step in the development of an understanding of OB is the study of group behavior that is also comprised of Company policy, HR policy and other conflicts.

Structural Level:
Organization Systems Level is one of the most important variable that impacts the OB model consisting the culture, the policy within and other practices.

Organizational Behavior of Banglalion:

Banglalion At a glance:

Banglalion Communications Ltd (Banglalion) is a leading internet bandwidth service provider of in Bangladesh who started their journey in 2008. Introducing the 4G Wireless Broadband service using the WiMAX technology in Bangladesh, they are a supreme service provider of the coutry in present time. With a mission to expand their area of services as well as reaching out the masses, Banglalion spreads their reach every second to accomplish the task of connecting people.

Dependent Variable
Productivity:
A company’s productivity depends on many variables elements like Capital, Raw materials and it is also related with employee’s behavior and performance. Banglalion trains their employees and motivates them often so that their productivity may increase. They give many financial and non financial benefits, so that the staff gives their best effort to increase productivity. Though they do not have the practice of sharing annual profit, there are reward programs for best performer who is awarded with certificate and voucher. In Banglalion, productivity is generally measured by the department’s line manager and in overall it is measured on yearly basis. But for the salesperson it is determined through monthly reports. Sometimes they organize abroad training for the employees to cope up with the competitive world.

Absenteeism:
Whenever the employees are de-motivated they remain absent. But in Banglalion, they offer many advantages to their team members to get the best output from them. Banglalion usually awards two bonuses in a year on occasion of EID/Christmas/Pooja as Festival Bonus which is normally equal to basic salary. They are also offering other variable bonuses like; performance bonus (for individual performances) & company performance bonus (special bonus for company performance/success) to the employees. For reducing absenteeism rate they usually provide 13 annual, 10 casual and 13 days for sick leave. For these incentives, Banglalion has managed to satisfy their ever efficient, hard-working team and they always try to give their best output.

Turnover:
The annual turnover rate in Banglalion is ever changing. It can suddenly go upward from a downward graph. Unexpected turnover can be negative for an organization and losing a single working hand can even cost a fortune. So, a wave of employee turnover can quickly run up costs ranging into the hundreds of thousands. No one can afford that kind of hit financially or to productivity, yet it happens very frequently, causing employee turnover rates for some companies to spike as high as 30-40% annually. Turnover two types:

1) When an employee switches organization, it is a Voluntary turnover. For making this term paper, we talked with several Banglalion employees to know more about this topic. Some career oriented employees are not satisfied with their job and getting a promotion is quite difficult in Banglalion with less future opportunity. 2) When the employees are fired by the company then it is an Involuntary turnover. For many reasons like like Work force reduction, restructuring the company, misconduct and disciplinary actions, Banglalion fires the employees. But such rate is very low in Banglalion. If any employee does any kind of financial mismatch or create any critical issue, on that case he or she will be fired.

Deviant Workplace Behavior: Workplace deviance can take the form of aggressive behavior. Common examples include sexual harassment, intimidation and showing open hostility toward co-workers. In diverse work environments, deviance may occur when employees display intolerance of co-workers of different nationalities or cultures. In work situations where safety is paramount, such as on construction or highway repair sites, aggressive behavior can result from workers performing in a reckless manner that endangers the safety of coworker. Banglalion has designed their employee benefit in such a way that ensures the employee and employee’s family wellbeing. If any employee displays this kind of behavior in workplace, then a supervisor observe the behavior and try to know the reason behind it to solve the problem. Organizational Citizenship Behavior:
When an employee performs more task than their regular activities, that is called organizational citizenship behavior and it is not a part of regular activities. It is a very positive sign for the organization. Banglalion gives increment on the basic of performance to try and satisfy the employee and encourage them.

Job Satisfaction:
Job Satisfaction is the attitude or positive felling about your job and it is a very important factor. Banglalion measures employee’s satisfaction in a single global rating. They provide mobile and internet bills, vouchers and sometimes abroad training for creating job satisfaction for the employee. Other than that, Banglalion offers flexible hours and night shifts complied to employee needs.

Independent Variable
Individual Level:
Apart from the measurable dependent variables, an organization must work with the person’s individual level. It’s all about a person’s personality, perception of work, common attitude, behavior, intellectual ability, unique psychology are all part of an employees’ Individual Level variables. The more personal the problems are, the obvious it is to immediately deal with.

Group Level:
When a bunch of different people work in a group, they all try to work in their own way. The complexity is increased when we recognize that people behavior when they are in groups is different from their behavior when they are alone. Therefore, the next step in the development of an understanding of OB is the study of group behavior that is also comprised of Company policy, HR policy and other conflicts.

Structural Level:
Organization Systems Level is one of the most important variable that impacts the OB model consisting the culture, the policy within and other practices.

After reviewing the term papers on Dependent and Independent Variables of Organizational Behavior Model of both Robi Axiata Ltd. and Banglalion Communications Ltd, a small analytic result were found that can give us a better understanding of their OB Model.

* In Robi, the productivity of employees is very high. * They do have a rising turnover rate but it’s mostly Involuntary turnover by Robi. * Due to various positive factors, their Job Satisfaction is quite high. * The tendency of Absenteeism in the organization is low. * Working effort on Individual Level is satisfactory. Employees works for their own and institutional development. * Some great effort in Group Level is also shown. * As they offer a great career and other benefits, Organizational Citizenship Behavior is very good and remarkable. * As part of the previous point, Deviant Workplace Behavior is next to low. * Unlike the high productivity of Robi, Banglalion has it in the medium scale of productivity. * The Absenteeism tendency is low on Banglalion. * The turnover rate in Banglalion is unstable as it fluctuates from high end to low all time of the year. * Due to a good working environment, they do have a high Job Satisfaction rate among the employees. * Banglalion does not offer a progressive career like and therefore, Organizational Citizenship Behavior is very low.

Banglalion Communications Ltd and Robi Axiata Ltd. are both two different companies working to provide different types of services to their customers. Where the former establishes a network of 4th generation wimax internet service, the latter is offering their expertise in telecom service. Whereas, the Robi team works to ensure maximum productivity, Banglalion hardly makes it to a medium grade. Though they deliver Job Satisfaction to their workers, there are other factors like independent variable elements on Individual, Group and Structural Level that needs to be worked out. If those issues are taken care of, Banglalion can easily expect better Organizational Citizenship Behavior like Robi. Both are a reputed company for sure but apart from being two different business, they do have many similarities and dissimilarities in their policies that impacts their OB Model as well as working output.

Organizational behavior is the study of the way people interact within groups. Banglalion Communications Ltd and Robi Axiata Ltd. are both two different companies that have invidual ob model. If they can fulfill all the requirements of organizational behavior model surely they will automatically improve to an impressive level which will bring more stability in telecom industry.

Banglalion Communications Ltd and Robi Axiata Ltd. are among the greatest service providers in their respected field. Yet, they have some issues to work out for an even better output. As in, Banglalion needs to focus on the fact that Robi has a better productivity rate as their medium level output. For that, more trainings and motivations can be proven helpful. Both of the companies have a turnover issue that Robi can sort out by controlling their involuntary turnover on employees and Banglalion should focus on their team members’ compensations and benefits to tame down the voluntary turnover rate. They have done a great job reducing the Absenteeism rate among their employees but increasing a few more days of leave wouldn’t hurt. And last but not least; if both of the companies can resolve their problematic elements, the work effort will get better in both individual and group level as well as the Organizational Citizenship Behavior among the workers will automatically improve to an impressive level. For that, they can offer more attractive incentives and develop a progressive career path for their working hands to build a secure future.

Ceo Turnover in Large Russian Firms

...CEO Turnover in large Russian firms Introduction The main responsibility of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is to form and implement strategic goals, policies and plans of the firms. The most studies show that Executive turnover has positive or negative impacts on firm performance. The decision of CEO’s change is an extremely important issue especially for the firms. There are two ways for a firm to change CEO. First one consists of the obligatory change of CEO depending on external influences due to worsening of firm’s performance. Second one (internal) consists of the resignation of CEO due to better career opportunities, this is a voluntary change, and board initiated turnover. Majority of the studies found in literature review show that CEO decisions and the change of CEO are influential factors on firm’s financial performance and vice versa. Studies such as Helmich (1974), Davidson et al. (1993) have approve that CEO turnover depends on firms' performance positively while Grusky (1964), Allen et al. (1979), Carroll (1984), Beatty and Zajac (1987), Haveman (1993) have argued that CEO change is effecting firms’ performance in a negative way. On the other hand, Boeker (1992) have argued that CEO turnover is not effective at all on firm’s performance. Other than these studies, Kesner and Sebora (1994) have used CEO turnover as a dependent variable. The results of their study showed that the higher turnover CEO results in lower firm performance. Similarly Virany...

Describe why managers require a knowledge of OB 7. Explain the need for a contingency approach to the study of OB 8. Identify the three levels of analysis in this book’s OB model CHAPTER OVERVIEW Managers need to develop their interpersonal or people skills if they are going to be effective in their jobs. Organizational behavior (OB) is a field of study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups, and structure have on behavior within an organization, then applies that knowledge to make organizations work more effectively. Specifically, OB focuses on how to improve productivity, reduce absenteeism and turnover, and increase employee citizenship and job satisfaction. We all hold generalizations about the behavior of people. Some of our generalizations may provide valid insights into human behavior, but many are erroneous. Organizational behavior uses systematic study to improve predictions of behavior that would be made from intuition alone. Yet, because people are different, we need to look at OB in a contingency framework, using situational variables to moderate cause-effect relationships...

Organizational Behaviour

...Introduction: Working in a small cohesive team of five members tasked with an assignment to submit a case study analysis helped bust several myths about teams and provided valuable lessons in working as groups. There was rich diversity in the team in terms of work experience; varied skill sets as well as varying exposure to theoretical and practical concepts of OB. The approach taken to achieve our goal was to divide and conquer. The entire analysis was broken into smaller sections that were split across the individuals who picked the topics based on their comfort levels. The more senior and experienced members offered to take up more complex sections that involved more analytical skills. I offered to take up the task of compilation of the sections into a single deliverable and perform the necessary editing and review to publish an output that was consistent. This was accepted without any conflict due to the team’s faith in my writing skills and producing case reports which was demonstrated through my grades from earlier courses. The tangible evidence of skill/expertise helped build trust in my abilities and reduced potential conflict around leadership. Stages of Team Building: It was an interesting experience to see the different stages of team building in action such as the forming of the team when individuals who haven’t worked together in the past came together to work towards a common goal. Although in our case we didn’t have the need for introduction and pleasantries...

...Final Project How Do SEOs Affect the Firm’s Competitor in the Same Industry? Abstract Seasoned equity offerings (SEOs) is reissuing of stock after the initial public offering (IPO). With SEO, corporations raise funds through the sale of stocks rather than the issuance of additional debt. Many articles have mentioned that investors may construe a seasoned issue as a sign that a company is having financial problems.

Its movements are a response to our economic cycle. Our daily lives, are directly affected by its movements and after effects, from other factors that may determine our standard of living for a period of time. Although the degree of this effect varies on different levels, it would be wrong to assume there will be selective people who won’t be touched by changes in interest rates.
