...CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) EVALUATION: DIFFUSING CRM BENEFITS INTO BUSINESS PROCESSES Sigala, Marianna, University of the Aegean, Michalon 8, 82100 Chios, Greece, m.sigala@aegean.gr Abstract Although CRM is one of the fastest growing management approaches being adopted across many organizations and particularly tourism and hospitality firms, the deployment of CRM applications has not always delivered the expected results while many CRM initiatives have failed. Consequently, the inability of CRM applications to deliver expected benefits has not only intensified the validity of previous findings and claims regarding the ICT productivity paradox, but it has also boosted current research. However, although the latter provides anecdotal evidence of the impact of ICT management practices on CRM effectiveness, there is a lack of empirical studies examining the relationship between CRM management and performance aspects. This study aims to fill in this gap by investigating the relation between firms’ CRM applications and exploitation with their ICT management practices and CRM benefits. The investigation and validation of the former are valuable, since it would enable managers to maximize CRM benefits by identifying and allocating the appropriate resources, time and efforts to CRM implementation. Relations are tested by gathering data from Greek tourism and hospitality companies. Findings provide useful practical suggestions for CRM evaluation and implementation strategies...

PROFESSOR,G.G.S.C.W. SECTOR – 26, CHANDIGARH, MOBILE – 9872431166, dhanoaritu@gmail.com 1 www.ssijmar.in VIOLATION OF WOMEN HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA ABSTRACT: Human rights are those minimum rights which are compulsorily obtainable by every individual as he/she is a member of human family. The constitution of India also guarantees the equality of rights of men and women. However, in the sphere of women’s human rights in India, there exists a wide gulf between theory and practice. Indian society is a male dominated society where men are always assumed to be superior to society. The women in India very often have to face discrimination, injustice and dishonour. Though women in India have been given more rights as compared to men, even then the condition of women in India is miserable. The paper will throw light on the human rights of women in India and that how all the fundamental rights given to the women are being violated in India, by focussing on the various crimes done against them. The constitution of India has granted equal rights to the men and women. According to article 14 – „The State shall not deny to any person equality before law or the equal protection of laws within the territory of India‟. And Article 15 states – „State shall not discriminate against...

...Background Tea is created by using the leaves of aplant known as CAMELLIS sinensis. This plant is native to mainland china , south and southeast asia , but it is today cultivated across the world in tropical and subtropical regions . It is an evergreen shrub or small tree that is usually trimmed to below 2 m (6.6ft) when cultivated for its leaves. It has a strong taproot . The flowers are yellow-white , 2.5-4cm (0.98-1.6) in diameter , with 7 to 8 petals. Tea drinking can be traced back to the 10th century BC in china before it was spread to korea and japan. Basically, this drink is made by brewing tea leaves to create and extract. Due leaves, the extract commonly appears with a brown colors OBJECTIVES This research is being done to find out the potency of the extract of the leaves from the extract leaves from the plant CAMELLIS sinensis as ink. Nowadays, ink is pigment in a liquid or paste form used as colorants and dyes. Also, they are becoming more and more expensive because of their increasing purposes. Our research aims to produce this ink as a cheaper alternative to those commercial ones. Compared to the ink we are aiming to create , commercially produced inks are toxic and can be hazardous to a person’s health once there is a inappropriate contact with it. To match with the color and consistency of other inks, we will be adding other substances, specially vinegar and cornstarch, which are common and easy to find. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Generally, this...

...1. a mixed system currently exists. the country is moving away from a centrally determined economy, but there is along way to go, as can be seen from the information in the case, the transition is causing a great deal of economic upheaval. this may even result in a regression toward some of the previously employed, centrally determined decision making. however, the country is not going to go back to the old way of doing things because it has too much committed to its current course of action. in particular any further imf loans or assistance from the united states, japan, or the EU will depend on how well the country is holding the line and trying to make its market-driven economy work. so a mixed economic system will remain in place in fact, this is really the only path the russians can take in rescuing their economy. 2. russia certainly would benefit by gaining admission to an economic union such as the eu . it could then take advantage of a wide variety of benefits , including free movement of goods and services across borders, trade creation, the possible development of internal economic brought about by the huge market that would then be available for russian goods, and a strengthening of the nation's currency. of course , admission to the eu or one of the other major economic unions is unlikely to occur, at least within the next few years as the country is not stable. however, it would offer a very big boost to the nation's economy. 3. argument can be made on...

...Lesson Preparation Project Chapter 11: Earnings Management 11.1 Overview “Earnings management is the choice by a manger of accounting policies so as to achieve some specific objective” There are two ways to think about earnings management: as an opportunistic behaviour by managers to maximize their utility and from an efficient contracting perspective. Issues arise in regards to earnings management due to the choice of accounting policies, discretionary accruals, and finally the line where management becomes mismanagement. 11.2 Evidence of Earnings Management for Bonus Purposes In 1985 earnings management was researched to see if managers would manage net income so as to maximize their bonuses under their firm’s compensation plans. Healy examined firms whose compensation plans are based on current reported net income only, this is also known as bonus schemes. With a typical bonus scheme, reported net income will have a lower bound called bogey and upper bound called cap. A manager’s bonus will increase as reported net income increases, unless there is a cap at which point the bonus will remain the same as net income continues to increase beyond the cap. A manager will not receive any bonus when income is below the bogey. Healy predicted that when net income is between the bogey and cap is the manager motivated to adopt accounting policies to increase reported net income. Net income that is below the bogey or above the cap would motivate managers to “take...
