Customer Perception Towards Push Notification Marketing Strategies Practiced By Companies
The study revealed that a majority of people, irrespective of their age group, are unhappy with the frequency with which mobile applications send notifications daily. Often, users miss out on important notifications because they are buried under the pile of not-so-useful notifications. Moreover, the research found that the content used in push notifications needs to be appropriate and not offensive, as it can have a significant impact on user perception. It is important to note that while push notification marketing can be a powerful tool for businesses to engage with their customers, it needs to be used judiciously. Too many notifications can lead to user fatigue, resulting in users turning off push notifications or even uninstalling the application altogether. On the other hand, notifications that are not relevant or contain inappropriate content can leave a negative impression on the user. The study also found that different application categories send varying numbers of push notifications. For instance, social media applications tend to send the most number of notifications, followed by e-commerce and news applications. This finding can be useful for businesses to fine-tune their push notification strategy and ensure that they are sending the right messages to their customers at the right time. In conclusion, push notification marketing is a valuable tool for businesses to engage with their customers. However, it needs to be used judiciously, keeping in mind the preferences and perceptions of users of different age groups. This study highlights the importance of understanding user behavior and preferences while designing push notification marketing campaigns. By doing so, businesses can ensure that they are not only reaching out to their customers but also engaging with them in a meaningful way. With further research and analysis, it is possible to gain deeper insights into user perceptions and preferences, leading to more effective push notification marketing strategies.

Market Basket Analysis: A Case Study of a Dehradun Based Bakery Shop
Market Basket Analysis is a modeling technique based upon the theory that if you buy a certain group of items, you are more (or less) likely to buy another group of items. The main goal of such an analysis is to entice customer to buy more than they usually do. Market basket analysis (MBA) is an example of an analytics technique employed by retailers to understand customer purchase behaviors, which can aid the retailer in correct decision making. It is used to determine what items are frequently bought together or placed in the same basket by customers (Kaur & Kang, 2016). In this research we study the new trends, challenges, and the impact of market basket analysis on consumer buying behavior by using Data Analytics software Rapidminer to create frequent item-sets and associations between the products purchased together in a bakery shop in Dehradun. The study exploits the certain marketing activities which later can be leveraged effectively by the Bakery shop and hence increase their sales and profit margin.
Psychological contract as a structure for explaining career commitment and career advancement: A Research Agenda
In the fast-changing turbulent business environment the term psychological contract has been viewed differently by research scholars. Conventionally loyalty to an organisation and continuance commitment were seen as important dimensions for career growth and advancement. But in the changing context, employment relationships are changing where the responsibility of career growth is viewed as the responsibility of an individual employee. There are two important related aspects, first is whether with an increased focus on selfserving individual career management strategies, does the concept of psychological contract still hold good and second is how the emerging psychological contract has changed in its essence in terms of the elements constituting it. In the background of the changed Psychological Contract, understanding the linkage between the Psychological Contract, Career Commitment and Career Advancement of employees in order to bring about a conceptual structure tounderstand these interrelationships becomes imperative.
Study on skill based Compensation structure with reference to Randstad
In skill-based pay (SBP) systems, employees are compensated for the range, depth and types of skills they possess. They are paid for the ability they can use, not for the job they are doing at a given time. This is a basic departure from traditional job-oriented pay plans, which pay employees for the jobs they hold. Skill-based pay refers to a pay system in which pay growth is linked to the number or depth of skills the employee acquires and applies, and is a tool for developing broader and deeper skills in the workforce. Such increases are in addition to the normal wage increase that employees can receive.

Growth Trajectory of Shadow Banking in India – Concerns and Prospects
A sound financial system is a pre-requisite for inclusive as well as sustainable growth of the economy. The Indian financial system is dominated by the banking sector. Apart from the banking institutions, another integral part of the financial system is Non Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). The functions of such institutions are supplementary to the banking functions except certain ways. Consequently, NBFCs are being globally recognised as shadow banks. In India, NBFCs are referred to the shadow banks as they possess a significant role and place in the Indian economy since independence like banks. However, the developments both at national and international levels have augmented the impact and growth of the shadow banking all over the world and in India, particularly during the last decade. In this perspective, the present focuses on the growth trends, issues of concerns and prospects of shadow banking in India and concludes with the implications therefrom.

Cloud computing is expanding in rapid pace and is being used in all business activities. Cloud adoption has always been beneficial irrespective of the business sector in which it is used. This is due to the subscription based payment and demand based provisioning. Optimal advantages of cloud adoption can be leveraged when the software requirement usage is not perennial. Education is one sector which has also benefitted due to cloud adoption. Education is a field in which the use of software is the combination of both regular and periodic usage. The periodic usage will be session or semester based. The specialized software will be used for a period of three to four months in a year. In this scenario, rather than purchasing perpetual licensed software, colleges can opt for cloud based usage software or platform. Even though cloud inclusion is beneficial, it also has few demerits due to the inherent Internet based working. This paper discusses about the prospects of cloud usage in education along with its barriers and possible solutions.

Emotional Intelligence as a Factor of Career Success in an Organization - A Pilot Study
The work environment, when not managed carefully, has been found to be a source of stress and emotional disharmony resulting in subsequent negative emotional states. Aggressive behaviors between co-workers have individual and organizational consequences such as low productivity and high levels of stress Employees with less grasp over their own emotions or understanding of others may fnd it very difficult to handle situations, which may affect their performance over time. This personal and the social competence of employees, which also form part of their role behavior can be understood in terms of varying levels of emotional intelligence. Today, Emotional intelligence is widely recognized as a valuable skill, and it is also one that researchers believe can be improved with training and practice. While emotional skills may come naturally to some people, there are things that anyone can do to help improve their ability to understand and reason with emotions. This can be particularly helpful in the workplace, where relationships and business decisions often rely on interpersonal understanding, teamwork, and communication. The various studies found that emotional intelligence has a positive impact on managerial effectiveness, leadership, stress management, workplace adjustment, and self improvement.

Is the CAPM valid? An Empirical Analysis in USA Stock Exchange
Quantitative finance was born with the study of the relationship between risk and return. The CAPM is one of the most famous models to estimate the prices of risky assets. It is based on the linear relationship between the excess return and the systematic risk (β). Many studies over the years have analyzed the relationship between risk and return, some of which find weak and inconsistent results. This paper analyzes the CAPM with linear regression, highlighting its limits, and proposes a non-linear model for return estimation. The results obtained from the analysis of the NASDAQ Composite show greater reliability of the non-linear model.
The Uncertainty-Investment Relationship with Endogenous Investment Size
This paper revisits the uncertainty-investment relationship with a real-option model where the firm chooses both the timing and the size of the investment, unlike existing studies. Using a new measure of investment that takes into account both size and timing, it is shown that, in general, investment is a non-monotonic (initially increasing and subsequently decreasing) function of uncertainty. Thus, uncertainty can have a positive or negative impact on investment; however, it is more likely to be positive when demand growth rate and demand volatility are low, and discount rate and operating cost are high. The relationship also depends on the production technology, with decreasing-returns-to-scale technology it is more likely to be positive, and with increasing-returns-to-scale technology it is more likely to be negative.

Do Indian Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) Require an ABM Framework? – A Study
The Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) in India are drifting through a state of financial paroxysm. This condition is chiefly attributed to the growing budgetary shrinkage in terms of fund allocation by the government together with the emergence of private players. It further adds vulnerability and threats to the existence of not only to those institutions that heavily rely on the grants received by the central or state government and funding bodies like UGC, but also to the self-financed institutions, competing intensely on price front. The existing framework for cost management in most of the universities in India is continuously challenged to ensure the appropriateness of information needed to navigate the current crises. This paper aims to design a framework for implementing Activity-Based-Management (ABM) System in University Level HEIs of India for managing performance effectively. Findings of the study identify the requirement of a robust cost control mechanism and justify the appropriateness of ABM model for HEIs in India. The study further ensures the possibility of developing an ABM framework for HEIs. Finally, a conceptual design of ABM framework for HEIs in India has been proposed. All Stake Holders of HEIs could benefit from the study advanced in the paper in that it offers a cost control mechanism in the form of ABM for managing performance effectively in HEIs of India.

A Study of Cost Leadership Strategy of Retail Firms in A Shopping Mall with Special Reference to The Great India Place(TGIP) Shopping Mall, Noida (UP), India
Retailing is one of the largest industries in India and one of the biggest sources of employment in the country. The retail sector is controlled by traditional and modern retail formats. These formats have emerged and developed with the growth of population in the country. Various retail models exist in the world of retail. Modern retail formats such as superstores, hypermarkets, specialty stores, supermarkets, convenience and discount stores are widely present in the developed world, where as such forms of retail outlets have begun to spread to developing countries in recent years. The Indian modern retail sector, which witnessed a phase of consolidation from the second half of 2008 till well into 2012, has gone through a learning phase. In the last one and a half years retailers consolidated their operations by shutting down unviable strives reassessing catchments and renegotiating rentals. The rampant constructing of shopping malls at an available space in a metro has stopped. The modern retail formats (including shopping malls) in India have started penetrating down to small cities and towns. The shopping malls getting constructed are comparatively small and more customized according to the environmental factors in towns/ cities. The present study has considered an analysis of one of the largest shopping mall of India and has given an insight on the strategic placement of various retail formats. The study was conducted on a leading shopping mall of India, The Great India Place (TGIP) Shopping Mall, located at NOIDA (UP). The research investigates the relevance of a shopping mall as a business entity. The cost leadership strategy of the retail firms and their attractiveness compared to other retail firms within mall was analysed. The growing intensity of retail competition in a shopping mall due to emergence of new formats and technology plus shifts in consumer needs is forcing retailers to devote more attention to long-term strategic thinking. The study reveals the competitive advantages with respect to cost leadership strategy of big and small retail firms

It is important to identify the staff or employees (people and positions) that are critical to the organization. They do not necessarily have to be senior staff members. Many organizations lost a lot of "organizational knowledge" in the downsizing exercises few years ago. The impact of the loss was not immediately apparent. However, it did not take long for many companies to realize their mistake when they did not have people with the knowledge and skills to either anticipate or solve problems that arose. The skill shortages and the ageing population are also helping organizations to focus on the talent management issue. It may not be possible to simply go out and recruit new people to meet operational needs. Many leading companies have decided to develop their own people, rather than trying to hire fully skilled workers. Every organization should be implementing talent management principles and approaches. The research mainly focused on 2 objectives. First is to compare the talent management process at TCS, INFOSYS and HCL. Second was to benchmark talent management practices to suit the present generation of employee. There are 3 main broad parameters attraction, retention and re-employment. The score on these three parameters were studied

Opportunities in Non Fuel Retailing in India
With the dismantling of the administered price mechanism (APM) and opening up of the Indian petro retail market for the private companies, the competition in the oil retail market have heated up. Every company is trying to find out measure to attract and retain the customers. For this, they have introduced many promotional schemes like petro card, loyalty card and other brand building activities. But these activities are not helping them to increase their revenue as the world oil prices are continuously increasing and the companies are restrained from increasing the prices of petrol beyond a certain limit. Also diesel and LPG is still under APM and hence their price is not under the control of oil marketing companies (OMC). The only option left with the oil companies to increase the revenue, so there is need for the search for the allied business or the non fuel retailing (NFR). As these businesses had given very good results in countries like US, Europe, UK, and France, they can help in increasing the revenue of the companies in India also. The organized retail sector is already growing at the rate of 30% per annum. At present, the penetration of NFR is only 4% in India, whereas, in the US, it is 90%. The oil marketing companies (OMC) have their presence in each and every corner of the country and they can harness the advantage of this by tying up with major brands. This paper attempts to indentify the opportunities available in the areas of NFR for oil marketing companies in India.

Microfinance Institutions in India: Issues and Challenges
India is one of the developing countries in the world. It is argued that among others absence of access to credit is presumed to be the cause for the failure of the poor to come out of poverty. Lending to the poor involves high transaction cost and risks associated with information asymmetries and moral hazards. Microfinance is one of the ways of building the capacities of the poor who are largely ignored by commercial banks and other lending institutions and graduating them to sustainable self-employment activities by providing them financial services like credit, savings and insurance. To provide microfinance and other support services, Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) should be able to sustain themselves for a long period. Therefore, this paper tries to identify the major issues and challenges faced by the Indian microfinance institutions.

The Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Workers andTrade Unions in Indonesia
Though the concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been evolving for decades, no single all-encompassing meaning has as yet been achieved. The worker and the trade union, both stakeholders in the company, are certainly affected by a company's CSR pollcy and its implementation. The focus of this chapter is on the implementation of CSR and its effect on workers and trade unions with the assumption that the content of a corporate CSR programme is everything that the company contributes towards the workers' welfare other than that which is already included in the labour laws or in the working agreement or collective labour agreement, reinforcing the belief that the leitmotiv of CRS programmes is to divert workers' demands or weaken, and gradually eliminate the trade union. By investigating the CSR activities in four companies, this chapter shows that CSR is a subtle means by which the company management can showcase its concern for the workers' welfare and thereby arm itself with the tools to persuade the trade union to cooperate with the management The CSR's effective influence varies from no impact or minimum impact to the busting of Unions, when the company's CSR plans fail. The result of this initial research shows that the formation and development of trade unions is necessary for the workers to avoid a violation of their rights, and to control the company's CSR implementation with a collective labour agreement
Technology and Stress (Techno-stress): A Vicious Circle of Work-Life Imbalance Among Youth.
In this paper we have tried to find the impact of technology advancement and automation, on the growth of organization performance. There is a special component within any enterprise or organization, the human which is a must for the overall development of the organization from holistic view. This does not merely entail the technical usage of the equipment, but most specifically the qualitative one .Both individual and group resistance to the implementation of such proposed ideas are very likely to occur, which cannot be said about the acceptance of cultural change. The results will definitely reflect some major findings which may be further researched by academicians, industrialist and psychologists. This research may be extended to various specific services along with specific target groups. The study will reflect the present status of techno-stress management approaches and their impact on the lives of youth. In this research, factor analysis will be used to exact the key determining variables. The psychological and behavioral alterations as well as disorders (at larger extent of the tech-stress), heightened the importance of tech-stress so as to curb the technological dominance over the human senses particularly at this age of maximum optimization and productivity. The data will be primary in nature with convenience sampling. Keywords: Digital depression, informatics culture, work life balance, stress

The Impact of Fair Value Measurement on Financial Instrument of Firms in Nigeria
ABSTRACT This study assessed the impact of fair value measurement on financial instrument of firms in Nigeria. The objective of this study is to determine the extent to which fair value measurement can be applied with precision in the assessment of a firm’s financial position and to determine the possibility of measurement errors in financial instrument measured on Fair Value.The method of data collection used in this study was field survey method involving the use of questionnaire administered to 188 samples. The method of data analysis was the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test statistic. From the result of the analysis it was observed that the implementation of Fair Value measurements gives sufficient precision in assessing firm’s financial position and earning potential since majority of the respondents agreed with a mean rank (mean rank=35.38) and a corresponding Chi-Square test statistic val-ue of 33.27 and a p-value of 0.00 which falls on the rejection region of the hypothesis. Also observed was that the possibility of measurement errors in financial instrument measured on Fair Value basis was high since majority of the respondents agreed with a mean rank (mean rank= 24.50) and a corresponding Chi-Square test statistic value of 20.13 and a p-value of 0.00 which falls on the rejection region of the hypothesis. Hence, we conclude that Fair value is the best reflection of the expected future cash flow as it predicts the ability of the entity to take advantage of opportunities or to react to adverse situations. We recom-mend that for fair value accounting to be beneficial in Nigeria there should be vigorous policing and enforcement of punitive actions against insider abuse and other forms of market manipulation.
