This particular study has been conducted in the context of Pakistan which serves to be the home country, and the empirical findings are made in relation to China, Japan, UK and USA. The study uses the panel data concerning the exchange rate, interest rate and CPI difference for all the five countries ranging from the first quarter of 1991(Q1) to the last quarter of 2011(Q4). The results of the study validate the conjecture of the literature that in the long-run, inflation affects the exchange rate in a positive way, while interest rate prevailing in a country has a negative impact on the exchange rate. The results of the panel data regression on the cumulative data of all the countries, with fixed-effect and random-effect shows that the relationship prevails but both the CPI difference and interest rate affects the exchange rate t...

Role conflict, job stress and issues related to work life are key determinants of turnover rate; therefore, this study has been conducted with an aim to find out the impact of above mentioned practices on turnover intention. Role conflict, job stress and work life balance are the independent variables while turnover intention is the dependent variable. Private sector banks of Pakistan have been selected as the target population and statistical analysis applied through SPSS and AMOS revealed that role conflict and job stress have a positive and significant relationship with turnover intention while insignificant relationship was found between work life balance and turnover intention. This study may prove to be a very productive one for private sector banks of Pakistan as on the basis of its findings employee turnover can be reduced.

This study is of qualitative nature, and is conducted in the context of Pakistan. Data for the study was gathered using twenty semistructured interviews from two groups each of ten members. The first group (G1) comprised of University level students, while the other group comprised of members from general public. Convenient sampling as a non-probability sampling was used. This study is cross-sectional because the interviews were conducted at one point of time. For analysis purpose, NVivo 10 was used with the help of which the transcribed interviews were assessed. The results of the study show that the marketers should not bombard the subscribers with SMS ads without their consent and permission. Other than consent, the frequency and the timing at which these advertising messages are sent to the users should not be random, and be controlled. The cont...

In general the key outcomes indicate that financing and government expenditures could have different effects. Therefore, it is very difficult to differentiate between current and capital expenditures. Budget defici...

Orthodox TAs face the threats of disintermediation because of the ever faster-changing developments in information and communication technologies, such as the emergence of metasearch engines, online travel agencies, direct bookings on airline websites and the widespread of mobile applications for travel related bookings. GDSs face similar threats of disintermediation from low-cost carriers and legacy carriers, as these carriers promote and encourage direct bookings via their official websites or via the new distribution capability. Design/methodology/approach This is a casestudy-oriented research, and the case selected is a MSP based in Turkey. The data are gathered using semi-structured interviews conducted from 15 international repr...
