This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Problem of autocorrelation arises if the assumption of the Classical Linear Regression Model that the errors terms are not autocorrelated is violated. As a consequence, the usual t, F, and ¿2 tests cannot be legitimately applied. This text uses various econometric approaches to critically observe the associated problems. Graphical method; Durbin-Watson method; Breush-Godfrey method; and The Runs Test were used to detect existence of autocorrelation among residuals of econometric data. In correcting autocorrelation, the method of first-difference, based on Durbin-Watson d-statistic and the dynamic forecasting techniques were used. The result gave a significantly reduced estimated autocorrelation coefficient. This improves the efficiency of the forecast and the use of various statistics in making inference. 88 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Knowledge Management (KM) has attracted much attention as a key strategy to achieve organisational success and survival in today s unpredictable and highly competitive environment. And yet, unless people in organisations possess the learning capability to use knowledge creatively, a well developed knowledge management system cannot be directed at sustaining profitability. In the new economy, the achievement of a sustained competitive advantage depends on firm s capacity to develop and deploy its knowledge based resources. One way of ensuring competitive advantage is to develop a highly-skilled workforce equipped with the knowledge and expertise required to stay ahead in the marketplace. The topic of KM is still at a relatively young stage of development. There are many areas of debate within the literature concerning the management of knowledge. One of the main areas where understanding is still limited is the role of Human Resources Management (HRM). Within the search of the key factors that explain knowledge management effectiveness, this publication aims to advance a simultaneously conceptual and practical framework that links HRM and knowledge management. 92 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, fifteen successor states emerged as independent nations that began transitions toward democratic governance and a market economy. Three of these countries have since experienced 'color revolutions,' which have been characterized by initial public demonstrations against the old order and a subsequent revision of the rules of the political game. In one of these countries, Ukraine, the Orange Revolution has brought about renewed hope in democracy, yet important obstacles remain. Belarus, Ukraine's northern neighbor, shares many structural similarities yet has not experienced a 'color revolution.' Anti-governmental demonstrations in Minsk in 2006 were met with brutal force that spoiled the opposition's hopes of reenacting a similar political outcome to that which Ukraine's Orange Coalition was able to achieve in 2004. It is found that the significant factors that prevented a 'color revolution' in Belarus are a cohesive national identity that aligns with an authoritarian value system, a lack of engagement with U.S. and European institutions, and the Belarusian regime's continued economic and political support from Russian leaders. 64 pp. Englisch.

The present study is an attempt to study the efficiency of marketing channels for mustard in Morar block of Gwalior district of M.P. during 2010-11. The total production generated by large, medium and small farmers was 1195.9, 936.1, 205.1 qtl respectively. The total household requirement under different categories was found to be 120, 104.7 and 18.35 qtl for large, medium and small farmers respectively. Thus the marketed surplus generated was 1026 (86.72%) qtl by large farmers, 852.63 qtl (92.11%) by medium farmers and 198 qtl (97.53%) by small farmers. The marketing efficiency was in inverse relation with the total costs and margins. As the number of intermediaries increased, costs and margins increased and inverse was the marketing efficiency. The study reveals that price fluctuations of mustard were the main problem expressed by 90% of the sample farmers. To conclude the main areas of concern are restriction of agricultural marketing channel and adoption of modern agricultural marketing (Gwalior Mandi) to ensure better prices to the farmer and availability of agricultural commodities to the consumer. 72 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This paper surveys the recent literature on inflation forecasting and conducts an extensive empirical analysis on forecasting inflation in Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong paying particular attention to whether the inflation-markup theory can help to forecast inflation. We first review the relative performance of different predictors in forecasting h-quarter ahead inflation using single equations. These models include the autoregressive model and bivariate Philips curve models. The predictors are selected from business activity, financial activity, trade activity, labour market, interest rate market, money market, exchange rate market and global commodity market variables. We then evaluate a vector autoregressive inflation-markup model against the single equation models to understand whether there is any gain in forecasting using the inflation-markup theory. The paper subsequently analyses the robustness of these results by examining different forecasting procedures in the presence of structural breaks. 68 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There are two different forms of defending freedom of the press: as an absolute and a relative freedom of the press. The latter is the one predominating in Europe and Latin America and the one providing legitimate regulation to the press. This research is based on the suspicion that in Ecuador the idea of Free Press is one that the government can freely regulate. The conceptual framework of the investigation provides different perspectives of freedom of the press and predicts potential consequences to Ecuador s media practice in the future. The lawsuit against El Universo, recently brought by the Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, was seen as a 'claim for silence' to the Ecuadorian press. The case of this newspaper, the largest in Ecuador, is deeply studied in this research and by conducting interviews, the issues of abuse of power, libel laws, and editorial opinions emerge.
