Multinational oil companies in Nigeria extract a large amount of the worlds energy and claim to be discharging the environmental costs by incurring cost of bringing back the degregated environment to its formal state. These costs are accounted for using conventional accounting treatment. While on the other hand, the oil producing communities are claiming a total neglect by the oil companies in discharging their environmental costs. Therefore, the study examines the effect of environmental expenditure on the performance of quoted Nigerian oil companies. Correlational research design is adopted using multiple regression as tool of analysis for the data collected from all the quoted oil companies in Nigeria. The result reveals that environmental expenditure has significant effect on the performance of quoted oil companies in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended among others that the management of oil companies in Nigeria should increase spending on environmental issues in their host community in other to improve their performance.

In todays scenario the customer acquisition cost has increased whereas the retention cost is relatively cheaper, its important for every service industry to understand its consumer and cater to its needs in order to survive in this competitive market. With the emergence of so many mobile telecom networks and the mantra being customer satisfaction, it is important to know which mobile telecom network has the most favourable image and weather the customers are actually satisfied with the service quality provided. Customer satisfaction has gained a lot of importance in the last three decades. In the earlier days, this concept was not very popular because companies thought it was more important to gain new customers than retain the existing ones. In present times, organisations have gained better understanding of the importance of customer satisfaction (especially service producing companies) and adopted it as a high priority operational goal. This study aims at investigating the overall customer satisfaction of the mobile telecoms industry in India with reference to some of the telecom players such as Airtel, Vodafone, Tata Indicom, Reliance, and Idea. This survey is done with the intention of understanding the customer expectations from the mobile service operators, with the coming in of 3G technologies the demand of the customers are increasing. Through this study we have found that the customers are progressing towards wanting more and better facilities but still seem to have grievances with the quality of the basic features such as Network availability, connectivity, customer care services resulting in high switching cost. We in India are still price sensitive in nature therefore a reduction in the call charges and tariffs are always demanded.

While recent high-profile corporate governance failures in developed countries have brought the subject to media attention, the issue has always been central to finance and economics. The issue is particularly important for developing countries since it is central to financial and economic development. Recent research has established that financial development is largely dependent on investor protection in a country. With the legacy of the English legal system, India has one of the best corporate governance laws but poor implementation together with socialistic policies of the pre reform era has affected corporate governance. Concentrated ownership of shares, pyramiding and tunneling of funds among group companies mark the Indian corporate landscape. Boards of directors have frequently been silent spectators with the DFI nominee directors unable or unwilling to carry out their monitoring functions. E-Government is the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve the activities of government agencies. The ereadiness index of India is found to be low as compared to other countries. There are various challenges for the implementation of e-government in India. These challenges are like low literacy, low per capita income and limited financial resource. In this paper a conceptual framework is suggested for the effective implementation of e-government in India.

Key words: - Resource Allocation, Capitalization, Return on Assets, Shareholders Wealth, Capacity Building, E-Readiness

A rapidly expanding middle class with high aspirations and a growing appetite for quality goods make India an attractive investment destination for consumer goods companies. With the growing economy, not only the per capita income is increasing but number of households in this segment is exploding in double digit growth rate. The rich are becoming richer and richer leading to the economic divide. The young population prefers to have working partner which increases dependency on having all the comforts at home. With both husband and wife working leads to increased buying power and the desire for high quality goods, comforts and luxury especially in the metros. This trend is now going to rural areas as well, as opportunities are increasing and companies are targeting rural India which is where majority of India lives.

The fuzzy model is a finite set of fuzzy relations that form an algorithm for determining the outputs of a process from some finite number of past inputs and outputs. Fuzzy model can be used in applied mathematics, to study social and psychological problem and also used by doctors, engineer, scientists, industrialists and statisticians. There are various types of fuzzy models. In this paper we use 2 fuzzy models and give their application to a real world problem. The paper is organized in four sections. 1st section defines cognitive maps. Section two defines Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) and draws a relationship between employee and employer in an industry. In an industry, the employers expect to achieve performances in quality and production in order to earn profit, on the other side employees need good pay and all possible allowances and best advantages than any other industry. Section four gives the generalization and description of the FCMs; known as Fuzzy Relational Maps (FRMs) which describes a mathematical work of employee-employer relationship model which gives the maximizing production by giving maximum satisfaction to employee. Keywords: Cognitive Maps (CMs), Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs), Employee-employer relationship model, Fuzzy Relational Maps (FRMs)

The study has been designed to analyze the factors that are responsible for influencing the purchase decision of customers with respect to selected fast moving consumer goods. A sample of 300 customers at different stores have been selected and studied with reference to various factors of marketing mix. The study attempted to identify factors which are the combination of product, price, place and promotion. Based on the importance given by the respondents on various factors, opinion scores are calculated and relative importance for each of the variables is established. The level of customer satisfaction was divided into low, medium and high. The gender analysis of customer satisfaction with respect to toiletries reveals that both male and female customers are highly satisfied with quality, while the gender analysis of customer satisfaction with respect to packaged food items reveals that that male customers are highly satisfied with free gifts while, the female customers are highly satisfied with cheapest price. The study also focused on whether the customer satisfaction varies across gender. The Chi square test has been employed to analyze the data. The study reveals that there is a significant difference between level of satisfaction and gender. Keywords: Consumer goods, customer satisfaction, marketing mix, purchase decision, quality.

Workers Participation drives industrial democracy to achieve ideal goals of organisations. Maxian ideology advocate the idea of workers participation in management on purely ideological grounds. But some of contemporary researchers conclude that the objectives of organisations profit can be secured by involving the employees in participation in managements affairs. Present paper is an attempt to understand the theoretical and applied part of workers participation. The management theorists believe that the ideal participation means joint decision making. Researches conducted over the last 80-90 years have indicated to the managements that their long range objectives of continued survival and prosperity can best be achieved through cooperation from the employees on the vital issues. Rensis Likert, an eminent management thinker believes that management goes through many phases, but the last phase genuinely is through participative approach. Trade union leaders also believes to adopt conformational strategy from time to time, where as Government many times had tried to push the legislations to secure votes of workers. It seems a pure vote catching gimmick. But there is always the silver lining on the dark clouds where workers union took up the challenge of running the production based organisation and proved to be milestone. Although, there are enormous possibilities of improving productivity through securing genuine employee participation at every level of organisations.

Key Words: Industrial Democracy, participation legislation, consultation, joint decision making, trade union.

The economic development of any country largely depends on the transport activity. Among the various modes of transport available, the road based transport is widely accepted because of its peculiar advantages. In India, the public transport undertakings are facing heavy competition from private ownership and operating in an environment of privatization. One among the various reasons for getting losses in transport undertakings is the absence of proper scrap management policies. The present work is a study on the practices of scrap management of Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. The effectiveness of scrap management policies is measured in terms of obsolete materials, number of vehicles scrapped, revenue on the materials scrapped, and the revenue realized on the sale of scrap materials and vehicles, the share of scrap revenue in the total non-operating revenue and in the total revenue, and percentage of scrap inventory in the total inventory. The data have been analyzed using various statistical tools. The results indicate that the scarp management practices of the corporation were good. Keywords: Scrap, Scrap Management, Effectiveness, Privatization, Transport Undertaking,
