...capable of handling heavy traffic on the high-tech roads, especially toll deduction roads. Currently implemented systems are either manual or they use technologies like RFID that fail under certain circumstances and are not 100% efficient. [5, 7, 9] We need a system with following features:- 1. It should be weather proof & water proof. 2. To prevent vandalism[6] 3. Highly efficient traffic management needed[6] 4. Minimum error rate required [6] 5. Minimum use power resources required[6] One of the primary issues to be concerned with an RFID implementation is the immaturity of the industry. Standards are only just being developed. Tags and readers are being modified and improved at a rapid rate. Competing technologies and non-cross compliant systems still exist. This ongoing development could make equipment and tags obsolete, rendering investments in older equipment useless, and requiring expensive conversions and upgrades. This is especially concerning for multi-unit libraries that may implement one branch at a time over several years.The costs of the tags are still relatively high and not expected to drop significantly over the next few years. Placing two tags close together can interfere with the signal disabling the read capability of the scanner. Most suppliers have software systems in place to limit this possibility but the interference cannot be removed entirely at this time. Readers can become confused when too many signals are received at the same time. System providers have...

All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX. Smartphone A Smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA), including email functionality, with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players, low-end compact digital cameras, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device.

...beginning of the 21st century, its CEO/ Chairman, Yang-Ho Cho undertook various transformation initiatives - for instance, improving service quality and safety standards, technology integration, upgrading pilot training, better business focus; putting in place a professional management team, improving corporate image through sponsorship marketing, etc. He gave a new corporate direction in the form of '10,10,10' goal. However, Korean Air is held up by a slew of challenges. Among which are inefficiencies of - Chaebol system of management, possible clash of its cargo business with its own shipping company, limited focus on the domestic market and growing competition from LCCs. How would Korean Air manage growth as a family-owned conglomerate? The case offers enriching scope for analysing a family business’s turnaround strategies, with all the legacy costs involved. Pedagogical Objectives • To discuss the (operational) dynamics of Korean Chaebols - their influence/ effects on the country’s industrial sector and the economy as a whole • To analyse how family-owned businesses manage the transition phase - from a supplier-driven economy to a demanddriven economy • To identify all the possible reasons for Korean Air ’s turbulent times and assessing whether they are controllable or not • To critically evaluate Korean Air ’s transformation efforts - in terms of growth, productivity and cost cuts, especially the efficacy of '10,10,10' goal in a family-run business • To identify various challenges...

...concept of a dubious practice, something that may be not valid or applicable in China. Marketing proves to be one of the most challenging parts of China operations, perhaps more so than other areas such as accounting, finance, or research & development. For several reasons, First, infrastructure in marketing is underdeveloped, including transportation systems, media development, labyrinth of multi-tier distribution channels, and the severe shortage of qualified marketing personnel. Firms attracted to the longterm potential of this vast country must remember to pay sufficient attention to the basics of producing, distribution and marketing a successful product (Country Commercial Guide 1998), Marketing Strategies In the early 1980s when MNCs first came to China, many thought of China as a huge market with a homogeneous culture and felt standardized global marketing would be effective in capturing the opportunities and improving efficiency. These feelings were confirmed by the desire of Chinese to acquire western technologies and their fascination with products from the West. After living in an economy of scarcity and shoddy products, the "foreign image" was synonymous with better quality, and very appealing to the Chinese. In many cases, the foreign brand advertising was sufficient to command the attention and to win the admiration of potential customers.
