...TERM PAPER ON EVALUATION OF MARKETING AND LOGISTICS INTERFACE AND ITS ADVANTAGES IN AN ORGANIZATION Submitted By Manikanta ABSTRACT This study ON EVALUATION OF MARKETING AND LOGISTICS INTERFACE AND ITS ADVANTAGES IN AN ORGANIZATION. This research paper is basically to evaluate the marketing and logistics cooperation and to know its importance in any organization .The primary purpose of the paper is to find the advantages of an organization to have Marketing and logistics interface. This research required us to conduct the consumer research. To find out perspectives of the people about the importance of marketing and logistics interface in an organization. CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 5 REVIEW OF LITERATURE 5 OBJECTIVES 6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 7 ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION 8 SUGGESTIONS 19 INTRODUCTION Organizations began to view their business as a collection of processes, rather than as a collection of processes, rather than as a collection of functions and departments. As processes cut across functional boundaries, greater attention needs to be devoted to interface activities. In order to build a cohesive organization, it is important that points of commonalities between functions are identified and emphasized. The purpose of this research is to analyze how the link between marketing and logistics can be co-ordinate in order to use this link as a sustainable competitive advantage. The level of cooperation between marketing...

...Given a flip-flop circuit, Determine how the circuit will behave for a sequence of inputs. Be able to use a flip-flop to store a single bit. Basic Circuit Here's a basic circuit that involves just two NAND gates. There are two inputs to this circuit, X and Y. Can you generate a truth table for this circuit? * Note that there is no connection where the two wires running from the output back to the input cross. Let's address that issue of the truth table. Here is a truth table for you to fill in. (Print this web page if you want to work on it.) X | Y | P | Q | 0 | 0 | | | 0 | 1 | | | 1 | 0 | | | 1 | 1 | | | Let's review what you know about this circuit. We can focus on what happens when X= 0, and Y = 0, the first entry in the truth table above. * If X = 0, then P = 1. We know that if either input to a NAND gate is 0, the output is 1. * Now. try to take advantage of the knowledge that P = 1. If P = 1 AND Y = 0, then Q = 1. It doesn't matter what P is, as long as Y = 0, Q will be 1. * That gives us the first entry in the truth table above. Here's the truth table with what we have figured out so far. X | Y | P | Q | 0 | 0 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | | 1 | 0 | | | 1 | 1 | | | Now, let's address the second entry in the truth table. In that situation, X = 0, and Y = 1. * If X = 0, then P = 1. We know that if either input to a NAND gate is 0, the output is 1. That's...

Firstly to conceptualize the production networks of the video games industry through an examination of its evolution into a multi-million dollar industry. Secondly, to use the video games industry to demonstrate the utility of Global Production Network approaches to understanding the geographically uneven impacts of globalization processes. In particular, three key notions of value, power and embeddedness are used to reveal the most powerful actors in the production network, how they maintain and exercise their power, and how the organization of production is manipulated as a result. It is argued that while hardware production is organized by console manufacturers using truly global sourcing strategies, the production of software is far more complex. In fact, software production networks are bounded within three major economic regions: Western Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. This paper seeks to explain how and why this has occurred.

Material Control: The term Material Control means recognition of function of an organization relating to the procurement, storage and wages of material in such a way as to maintain and even flow of production without excessive investment in material struck. Material can be classified into two categories: 1. Direct material 2. Indirect material Elements of cost: 1) Material 2) Labor 3) Overhead Control of labor: Cost accountant can decide compiling wages cost prove himself useful by presenting information on matters such as cost of equipment and training, Labor turnover, idle time, over time, shift work labor efficiency, wastage and spoilage due to labor fault and various other analysis related to labor, Control of labor cost is important financial area where the cost accountant can make very useful contribution effective labor cost control may be exercised through: 1) Proper production planning 2) Development of labor time and wages standard and labor budget. 3) Performance report of labor 4) Installation of suitable wage structure and incentive payment and one of the tasks is to co-ordinate these activities and properly advise the executive management to achieve control.

I find it useful to talk about the economics of crime example (Example 1.1) and the wage example (Example 1.2) so that students see, at the outset, that econometrics is linked to economic reasoning, if not economic theory. I like to familiarize students with the important data structures that empirical economists use, focusing primarily on cross-sectional and time series data sets, as these are what I cover in a first-semester course. It is probably a good idea to mention the growing importance of data sets that have both a cross-sectional and time dimension. I spend almost an entire lecture talking about the problems inherent in drawing causal inferences in the social sciences. I do this mostly through the agricultural yield, return to education, and crime examples. These examples also contrast experimental and nonexperimental data. Students studying business and finance tend to find the term structure of interest rates example more relevant, although the issue there is testing the implication of a simple theory, as opposed to inferring causality. I have found that spending time talking about these examples, in place of a formal review of probability and statistics, is more successful (and more enjoyable for the students and me). 3 CHAPTER 2 TEACHING NOTES This is the chapter where I expect students to follow most, if not all, of the algebraic derivations.

The mean concentrations of Ca, Cd, Fe, Pb and Mn were significantly different between the three study sites (River Chenab, River Ravi and Rawal Lake Reservoir). The mean concentrations of Ca, Cd, Fe and Mn were significantly greater at the River Chenab heronry and Cr, Co, Zn, and Pb concentrations at the River Ravi heronry. The feathers of cattle egrets collected from the Rawal Lake Reservoir heronry were least contaminated. Multivariate statistical methods viz., Factor Analysis based on Principal Component Analysis (FA/PCA); Hierarchical Cluster analyses (HACA), and Correlation Analyses identified relatively similar associations of metals and their sources of input. Metals such as Ca, Mg, and K were related with natural input from parent rock material whereas trace metals viz., Cu, Cd, Co, Pb, Ni, and Zn were associated mainly with anthropogenic processes. Metals such as Fe, Mn, and Li were either correlated with natural input or with anthropogenic...

...SOME PRACTICAL GUIDANCE FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROPENSITY SCORE MATCHING Marco Caliendo IZA, Bonn Sabine Kopeinig University of Cologne Abstract. Propensity score matching (PSM) has become a popular approach to estimate causal treatment effects. It is widely applied when evaluating labour market policies, but empirical examples can be found in very diverse fields of study. Once the researcher has decided to use PSM, he is confronted with a lot of questions regarding its implementation. To begin with, a first decision has to be made concerning the estimation of the propensity score. Following that one has to decide which matching algorithm to choose and determine the region of common support. Subsequently, the matching quality has to be assessed and treatment effects and their standard errors have to be estimated. Furthermore, questions like ‘what to do if there is choice-based sampling?’ or ‘when to measure effects?’ can be important in empirical studies. Finally, one might also want to test the sensitivity of estimated treatment effects with respect to unobserved heterogeneity or failure of the common support condition. Each implementation step involves a lot of decisions and different approaches can be thought of. The aim of this paper is to discuss these implementation issues and give some guidance to researchers who want to use PSM for evaluation purposes. Keywords. Propensity score matching; Treatment effects; Evaluation; Sensitivity analysis; Implementation 1. Introduction ...
