Effectiveness of Pakistani Banks after Merger and Acquisition

The aim of merger of banks is to increase the value of banks in one way or another. The days of globalization and liberalization are in and there is a rash of merger and acquisition which is sweeping the corporate world. Consolidation in banking industry should essentially be synergy-driven to obtain a quantum leap in the effectiveness of the merged entity. It can be attained by merging complementary strength, serving a greater number of customers in a good way with more differentiated skills and products, giving a well geographical spread, comprising the cost of combined entity, better utilization of available resources, recognizing the opportunities for cross selling, deriving economies of scale and reduced competition. Over the last span, the banking industry in Pakistan has not only grown-up in terms of size but also consolidated, matured and diversified to contribute towards constructing a strong financial system. In this study, five bank merger’s cases have been taken and Null Hypothesis (there is no difference in the mean value of selected variables before and after the merger) is found rejected. Based on overall analysis, merger of My Bank Limited with Summit Bank Limited was more effective in most of the variables as compared to the merger of PICIC Commercial Bank Limited with National Investment Bank Limited, Union Bank Limited with Standard Chartered Bank Limited, JS investment Bank Limited with JS Bank Limited and Askari Leasing Limited with Askari Bank Limited.

온라인 매체와 댓글에 따른 영화 구전의도 및 관람의도에 관한 연구

A great number of customers, who want to watch movies usually check out online reviews before choosing what to watch a movie. The most representative online media that customers consult are portal sites and SNS (Social Network Service). Although there have been numerous studies on online eWOM (e-Word of Mouth) and the effects of online media in businesses, it remains a question that which media is best for WOM (Word of Mouth) when selecting movies. This research examines customer`s intention for consulting eWOM and for watching movies according to the number and tendency of online replies. We have compared portal sites and SNS about information of movie. The study shows that a large number of positive replies can affect the intention for WOM and choosing movies. Facebook has more influence than portal sites when choosing what to watch when replies consist of large and positive comments. However, there is no difference between the two types of media when they consist of negative comments.

Globalised Cuisine, Non-National Identities and the Individual: Staging Turkishness in Turkish-Speaking Restaurants in London

This study looks at the means through which the image of Turkish cuisine in London is constructed in Turkish-speaking restaurants aiming to appeal to the greatest number of customers as possible. It intends to understand the ways that restaurateurs stage a particular type of Turkishness while trying to manage their businesses. This research entails an analysis of 25 restaurant spaces, their exterior and interior decor, menu and food, and 16 semi-structured in-depth interviews with restaurateurs, managers and chefs. In this article, I argue that Turkish cuisine is defined not necessarily by turning difference into a marketable commodity, but by turning it into a familiar global product. Therefore, an emphasis on ethnicity can be a drawback to business. Turkish-speaking restaurateurs claim business success through a uniform, standard and modern world cuisine. Moreover, restaurateurs' primary identity is mostly constructed through their relations to business as ‘global entrepreneurs’

Water and Private Sector Partnership: Case of Karachi, A Mega-City of Pakistan

Implementation of private sector partnership (PSP) into Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB) of Karachi, a mega-city of Pakistan, was studied. The assignment was categorized into three distinct phases: development of the most appropriate strategy for PSP; execution of the preparatory work for PSP; and implementation of the agreed program. The PSP strategy approved by Government of Sindh (GS) province was designed to ensure that ownership of assets remains in the public sector while the technical, commercial and financial needs of the system become the responsibility of the private operator. The PSP strategy also ensured that benefits of system improvement are devoted to the greatest number of customers. A legal and regulatory framework had also been developed to enable the induction of a private operator into the provision of water sewerage services, to define the role and powers of the regulator and of government, and the rights of customers along with the measures for their enforcement. Six institutes for the framing of regulations of the water sector were identified. An extensive marketing program had been revealed to develop market interest and build up profile of the project. Having a detailed study on different working models of PSP, concession type of contract was the choice to be favored since it has been the basis used in other developing countries. Public awareness campaign was carried out to mitigate the persistent fears and misconceptions which could range from simple apprehensions regarding increases in tariffs and water charges among ordinary consumers to concerns touching issues of national security and sovereignty. Role of government was set to share risks by providing for political, legislative, force majeure, currency risk, and guaranteeing buy out provisions for private operator. While the private operator was anticipated to take normal commercial risks such a bidding risk, market risk including revenue and construction risks for infrastructure investments. Phase I strategy of the partnership was successfully done and approved by the GS in 2000. The phase II included a detailed technical and financial feasibility evaluation of the concession contract is under progress and likely to be completed until mid of this year, and phase III, transfer of ownership, is scheduled by the end of this year. Exact out come of the PSP is still awaited to be public. First initiative in Karachi is to execute successfully since this will develop investors' confidence and interests and will play a role model for the water utilities to follow in other growing cities of Pakistan.

The anatomy of conquest: Tesco versus Sainsbury

Sales data over a two-year period are analysed to explain how Tesco overtook Sainsbury in the supermarket league. Much of Tesco's sales growth can be related to its greater physical expansion, and this expansion probably had more effect than the Tesco loyalty scheme. Although there was some evidence that customers increased their spend, Tesco grew mainly by attracting a greater number of customers.

Tighter controls for busier systems [power systems

A variety of new technologies are becoming available that will help utilities maintain power system reliability while handling the larger volume of transactions. For example, power electronic systems can provide unprecedented control over electricity flow on transmission networks, preventing or containing cascading disturbances. In addition, new sensor technology, faster communications between control centers, and advanced software tools can enable utilities to monitor system conditions in real time, letting them respond more quickly to disturbances and minimize their impact. Over the next decade, these technologies will facilitate increased power transfers through power delivery systems that are presently constrained, providing power at lower cost to a greater number of customers. It is a question of how to optimize power flow through an entire network by integrating multiple technologies and coordinating control over wide areas. Such integration and coordination will be necessary for deregulation to proceed smoothly toward its twin goals: reducing electricity costs to US consumers, while maintaining the high levels of reliability they have come to expect. The authors discuss the following technologies to help achieve these goals including: flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS), the next generation of FACTS controllers, hierarchical control of FACTS, on-line power systems analysis, control centre communications, and wide area measurement system.

The Municipal Authority as an Organizational Framework for Regional Public Water Systems

Demands on the public water supply “industry” have been increasing steadily. Most of the existing systems have experienced increased water use per customer over time, as well as a greater number of customers. There has also been a growing interest in and concern about providing adequate quantities of safe, treated water for all of the Nation's population. The cost of providing public water systems for “an estimated 30,000 smaller communities, unincorporated settled areas and farming sectors in rural territory without systems” was estimated at $6 billion in 1966 [1, p. 978]. The cost of completing this task has probably increased, even though many water systems have been installed in these communities since 1966.
