DATA MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Nepal Bank Limited is the oldest commercial bank of Nepal. It was established 1937 which marked the beginning of an era of formal banking in Nepal. From the very conception and its creation, Nepal Bank Ltd, was as joint venture between the government and the private sector. Out of 2500 equity shares of NRs. 100 face value, 40% was subscribed by the government and the balanced i.e. 60% was offered for the sale to private sector. There were only 10 shareholders when the bank first started. It can be said that Nepal Bank Limited has a history that is unequal to any in Nepal. It was the first one of its kind. It also served as the central bank of Nepal. It is, thus, safe to say that the history of banking sector in Nepal would be incomplete without mentioning Nepal Bank Limited.

...INTRODUCTION A. RESEARCH BACKGROUND These days, fashion retailer industry is becoming one of most growing industries around the world, including in Indonesia. Production and price used to be priority of fashion retailers to make sure their profit is increase. These strategies do not work effectively in current since the situation is shifting. Costumers are now more critical. They demand more. Seeing this, fashion retailers cannot risk a big loss by abandoning the satisfaction of customers. Customers now are the key of retailers’ success and failure. Positive customer satisfaction increases customer loyalty that will most likely lead to purchase retention. It also leads to positive word-of-mouth that will invites more customers to the retailers, which also means more profit. Thing will happen in the other way around when it comes to negative customer satisfaction. According to Kotler and Armstrong, there are two ways to gain positive customer satisfaction; they are lowering price and increasing service. At this point, it can be concluded that service quality also takes part in determining the profit of the fashion retailers. Without good service quality, customer can move to competitor easily and spread negative word-of-mouth so that a fashion retailer will lose more customers and also profit. Seeing this situation, it is questioned whether fashion retailers are aware or not to the importance of good service quality in keeping their company run well. It is assumed that...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE Introduction Soymilk is a popular dairy alternative in the west, and it has long been traditional in beverage in China, Japan and other parts of Asia. Some people drink soy milk because they are lactose intolerant sensitive. Soymilk is a healthy drink containing the essential nutrients and phytochemicals. Products made with soy, including soy milk, contain chemicals known as isoflavones. These molecules are potent antioxidants that can help protect the body from dangerous molecules known as reactive oxygen species. Isoflavones are also interesting because they have a chemical structure that is similar to estrogen, reports the Harvard School of Public Health, which is why they are called phytoestrogens. In theory, these isoflavones may be able to have a similar effect on the body as naturally produced estrogen. Soy milk, have a low-glycemic index value. Glycemic index, or GI, is a numerical system that measures the amount of sugar in a particular food. Soy foods are digested and absorbed slowly, which means your body converts them to sugar and absorbs them into your bloodstream gradually. This gradual release of sugar helps minimize blood sugar swings. Consumption of soy foods may also increase production of insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes, according "Modern Nutrition in Health and Disease," by Maurice Edward and Moshe Shike.

...ECO 740 ECONOMIC ANALYSIS MASTER IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION “FACTORS AFFECTING DEMAND OF PINEAPPLE IN MALAYSIA” PREPARED FOR: Prof Madya Dr Rosita Suhaimi PREPARED BY: Azarudin Bin Berudin (2013803912) Cecilia Amid (2013859584) Daphne Gayle (2013278394) INTRODUCTION Global price hikes in food has created a global crisis that affects both developed and developing countries. Initial causes of the price spikes included unseasonable droughts in grain producing nations which can be attributed to climatic change and rising oil prices. The rise of oil prices exacerbated costs of fertilizers and transportation of food. The increased farming use in biofuels, growing consumer demand, global population growth and structural changes in trade and agricultural production has also lead to the price increase of food and made it unaffordable for many people. In Malaysia, the Agrofood Policy (2011-2020) was formulated to ensure food security, enhance global competition, increase farmers’ income, ensure agro-food sector’s sustainable growth and boost food production to meet growing population demand. The period is a critical time as Malaysia plans to achieve an advanced high-income economy (in line with the 10th Malaysia Plan, 2011-2015) with consumers’ need for quality, safety, nutrition, functionality and environmental sustainability. Demand for local fruits is expected to increase at a growth rate of 2.3% annually from 2.7 million metric tonnes in 2010 to 3.3 million metric tonnes by 2020...

...INTRODUCTION Many students of HRM in Taguig City University work part-time Employment during school could improve grades if working promotes aspects that correspond with academic success, such as industriousness or time management skills, or instead reduce grades by reducing time and energy available for school work. Otherwise, working might be associated with academic performance, yet not directly influence it, if unobserved student differences influence both labor supply and grades. Unmotivated students might neither work for pay nor receive good grades because they put little effort into the labor market or school. In contrast, HRM students uninterested in academics might work long hours that would otherwise have been devoted to leisure. Students might misjudge the link between college achievement and future earnings when making labor supply decisions. If so, obtaining a consistent estimate of how such decisions affect academic performance is prospectively important for policy consideration. Some of HRM students in Taguig City University Students are more likely to work than they are to live on campus, to study full time, to attend a four-year college or university, or to apply for or receive financial aid. Students work regardless of the type of institution they attend, their age or family responsibilities, or even their family income or educational and living expenses. Most HRM students at Taguig City University face many challenges in their already busy everyday lives...

D Student Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction In the country's present educational situation, we need teachers who are effective, dynamic and ceaselessly exert efforts to ca carry out sound pedagogical objectives of the nation. One question that is often raised is: what makes an effective teacher? Merely wanting to be a teacher is not a manifestation of one's fitness to handle the demands, rigors and pressures of effective instruction. The teacher must be cognizant of effective classroom management coupled with commendatory work traits of various trends and innovations in teaching. The learners are the central point of observation and concern especially when the quality of education is being assessed. For these reason, professionals or individuals who specializes in education are hired for their service and expertise.

It is their sole responsibility to nurture and develop the minds of the future leaders and work force of our nation.

...RESEARCH METHODOLOGY MINI THESIS “INFLUENCE OF MIDNIGHT SALE TOWARDS WOMAN AT JAKARTA” By : Annysa Yuliaty 014201100130 IB 2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction Midnight is the middle of the night, specifically 12 o'clock at night. Intense darkness or gloom. A period of darkness and gloom. In the daily cycle of time, midnight represents the deepest point of negativity, when ghosts, demons, and all uncanny beings are most active. It is prescribed for many magic rituals and divinations. In modern times it is mathematically defined, so one is told that such-and-such will happen ‘when the clock strikes twelve’; regarded thus, it derives much of its significance from its ambiguous status—does it belong to the day that has just ended or to that which is beginning? However, in earlier centuries the term was more loosely applied, to a period rather than a point of time; it is not clear how long this was considered to be, but all supernatural evil forces were supposed to vanish when the cocks first crowed. Confusingly, midnight is also a time for certain celebratory rites, such as first footing and seeing the New Year in. This is because by modern reckoning a day begins at midnight (not at sunset, as in ancient cultures), so the day which inaugurates a new cycle must be launched with joyful and luck-bringing rituals at the earliest opportunity. Midnight sale is executed in order to stimulate consumers to buy the old product. According Taftayani (2011)...
