...Case 9 Kota Fibers, Ltd. Kota Fibers, Ltd. was founded in Kota, India in 1962. Kota produced nylon to provide synthetic fiber yarns to local textile weavers. The synthetic fiber yarns were mainly used to make traditional women’s colorful dresses in India called the saris. One sari averaged eight yards of fabric. Indian women usually purchased three saris every year. India’s female population is around 500 million, with a demand for saris accounting for more than twelve billion yards of fabric and a stable business. The demand was being supplied by domestic textile mills that fulfilled their yarn requirements from suppliers like Kota Fibers. Kota used new technology and domestic raw materials to produce their quality product. Demand for synthetic textiles was characterized by a stable year to year growth with fluctuation based on special Indian festivals and celebrations. The most important festival was the Diwali celebration in mid-autumn, which made a seasonal peak in demand for new saris. Therefore, mid-summer was the seasonal peak demand for nylon yarn from Kota. Unit industry growth was expected to be 15% per year. Consumers purchased their saris from cloth merchants located all around the country. Cloth merchants were important local figures that were well known to the area residents who granted credit in order to support their sales. The suppliers were very competitive in order to keep the merchant’s business. The suppliers were aggressive in price, service, and credit...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION 2.1 THE NATURE OF MARKETING Marketing is understanding the needs of the situation, and the way resources and people can be applied to it, and then reacting appropriately, as opposed to following a formula. To put it simple, marketing is a process cycle as follows: i) Customer buys or potential customer is contacted. ii) Finding out how the customer liked the product or what is needed. iii) Analyzing these data and creating a plan that includes goals and strategy. iv) Implement the plan which results in the customer’s buying the product. v) Repeating the cycle starting with step (i) to make a better product sold with a better plan and continuously keeping this cycle going. 2.2 VALUE OF PRODUCT The value of a product may be conceptualized as the relationship between the consumers’ perceived benefits in relation to the perceived costs of receiving these benefits. Value = Benefit / Cost Value is thus subjective (i.e, a function of consumer’s estimation) and relational (i.e, both benefits and cost must be positive values). 2.3 VALUE PROPOSITION DEFINITION Value proposition is a powerful succinct statement that will: i) Describe how you are unique, and therefore differentiate you and your product/service from your competitors in your market. ii) Resonate directly to the company brand – yours and your prospects. iii) Give you insight about how to effectively market your product/service. This statement...

...Concrete + Fly ash Properties of the material Shapes Fly ash consists mainly of hollow spherical shapes which creates a ball bearing effect in the mix, improving workability without increasing water requirements. Fly ash also improves the pump-ability of concrete by making it more cohesive and less prone to segregation. The spherical shape improves the pump-ability by decreasing the friction between the concrete and the pump line. In addition, some fly ashes have been shown to significantly decrease heat generation as the concrete hardens and strengthens. Fly ash, as do all pozzolanic materials, generally provide increased concrete strength gain for much longer periods than mixes with Portland cement only. Durability The biggest reason to use fly ash in concrete is the increased life cycle expectancy and increase in durability associated with its use. During the hydration process, fly ash chemically reacts with the calcium hydroxide forming calcium silicate hydrate and calcium aluminate, which reduces the risk of leaching calcium hydroxide and concrete’s permeability. Fly ash also improves the permeability of concrete by lowering the water-to-cement ratio, which reduces the volume of capillary pores remaining in the mass. The spherical shape of fly ash improves the consolidation of concrete, which also reduces permeability. Water Requirement The amount of water necessary to obtain normal consistency in fly ash concrete varies considerably in accordance with the carbon content...

...1. INTRODUCTION Aluminium and its alloys are used in fabrications because of their low weight, good corrosion resistance and weldability. This encourages the use of aluminium and its alloy in aerospace industry, internal combustion engine parts, ship building etc. [1]. Welding being most widely used joining method can be used for welding aluminium. Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) and metal inert gas welding (MIG) are commonly used for aluminium. In this study TIG welding is used since TIG welding process offers great advantages such as cleanliness, deposition rate, heat input etc.) Tungsten inert gas welding (TIG) is a process that melts and joins metals by heating them with an arc established between a non consumable tungsten electrode and the metals. The torch holding the tungsten electrode is connected to a shielding gas cylinder as well as one terminal of the power source. The workpiece is connected to the other terminal of the power source through a different cable as shown in Figure 1. The shielding gas goes through the torch body and is directed by a nozzle toward the weld pool to protect it from the air. Generally argon and helium are used [2]. A mixture of inert shielding gas and some amount of oxygen or CO2 can be used, which affects the weld penetration [3, 4]. Experimentation becomes tedious and time consuming if full factorial design is used hence an Taguchi’s orthogonal array depending upon number of factors and their corresponding levels can be choose in selecting...

...Employee's rewards ukessays.com /dissertations/management/employees-rewards.php CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 Overview In any organization, employee's rewards usually given to attract, motivate and retain the employees to stay longer and contribute a good quality services to ensure the successful of the organization; in other words, rewards play an important role in creating, building and maintaining the commitment among employees with the purpose to ensure high standard of performances and workforce stability. According to the individual - organizational exchange theme, individuals enter the organization with special qualification and skill, desire and goals, and expect in return a work setting where they can use their skill, satisfy their desire, and achieve their goals (Mottaz, 1988). At the minimum, employees expect their organization to provide fair pay, safe working condition, and fair treatment. (Beer, Spector, Lawrence, Mills, & Walton, 1984). It simply implies that employees offer or increase their commitment when organization meets employees' expectation regarding fulfillment of their important needs. Thus, the exchange perspective explains organizational commitment as a function of work rewards and work values (Lambert, 2000; Mottazz, 1988), and suggests the importance of work rewards for continuously encouraging employees. According to exchange theory and reciprocity norm, employees repay the rewards received from organization through increase commitment to the organization...

...City Living and Transportation… In pursuit to making Kota Kinabalu city a livable place. Part 1 Buses has been the main mode of public transportation in the city of Kota Kinabalu. We are talking about the scheduled bus services, the mini buses and taxis that had been allowed to ferry passengers. Despite being perceived as less comfortable, less physically attractive, the buses are still the main mode to function as carriers to bring passengers to their destinations. This article aims to provide an overview of the status and its importance to the majority of the commuters in making Kota Kinabalu city a livable place. It is crucial to identify the reason why bus has not become a popular mean in attracting and providing community commuting service to the city transportation since this information is a useful input to the policy maker. The reasons are linked to several issues such as public bus current level of performance, increasing number of private vehicle on road and the absence of specific plan and policy as well as enforcement follow ups to improve public bus transportation. Observation shows that public transportation by bus is an important mode of public transportation in Kota Kinabalu and would continue to be so in the future due to the demand from the lower income earners. Therefore, the government should seriously consider the buses and other similar mode like trams in the public transportation planning by providing specific plan for its future development and the will...

...Summer Mall is the place of pleasure that focus on people around Kota Samarahan. The number of consumers that usually go to Summer Mall is teenagers and working people. If I work as the management of Summer Mall, Kota Samarahan, I would suggest to increase the number of games and arcade in the Summer Mall that would be age appropriate for teenagers around 15-25 years old. The current arcade at Summer Mall is focus for children. This is so that children can stay there while the guardian can shop without worries. If the arcade would focus on teenagers too this evokes pleasure in teenage consumers. Therefore they would prefer to stay and enjoy more of the shopping experience when at the Summer Mall. Moreover, I would suggest to create a health club inside the Summer Mall, inside the health club will include spa, massage, manicure and pedicure and gym. This is focus for the working people. They would be busy during their hard days of work, therefore, whenever they come to Summer Mall, they can relax and reduce their stress of work and more enjoy their shopping experience in Summer Mall without feeling tired from everyday work. Summer Mall building is itself shown for a place of fun and excitement. The colors of the buildings are full of bright color to invoke feelings of enjoyment. I would also suggest every week would hold a weekly event of fun and enjoyment for people of any kind of age. This would be family oriented thus promote families to come to Summer Mall and enjoy the event...

Everyone in this world needs friends as companion in their life. So do I. We can have a lot of friends but to find a true and loyal one is the hardest. I have a best friend and I think she is the best girl I have ever met, El. We were enrolled in the same school since we are 7 years old. We used to be strangers at first but as we were placed in the same class, we get closed to each other. Plus, we are deskmate. She is a kind-hearted person. This pretty Kelantanese girl used to be very down to earth to all people that she met. She lived in a small town, outskirts of Kota Bharu. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Her father works as a pediatric specialist in one of the most well-known hospital in Kelantan. While her mom works as an English lecturer in Universiti Malaysia Kelantan.
