...INTRODUCTION The Regional Rural Banks (RRBs) were established in 1976 under Regional Rural Banks Act, 1976. RRBs are an integral part of rural credit system and are expected to play an increasingly important role in the development of, particularly, rural areas. RRBs are jointly owned by GoI, the concerned State Government and Sponsor Banks (27 scheduled commercial banks and one State Cooperative Bank); the issued capital of a RRB is shared by the owners in the proportion of 50%, 15% and 35% respectively. It is important that the RRBs function in a highly professional manner, embracing the technological advancements. The Government of India had taken a number of steps, including recapitalization support from time to time, to improve the functioning of the RRBs and their financial health. Considering the tremendous potential, due to their presence throughout the country, Government of India has initiated the process of restructuring of RRBs to improve their functioning, achieve the economics of scale and to ensure better managerial control. As a result the total number of RRBs, as on 31 March 2011, stood at 82. With a view to modernize and strengthen the technology up gradation and functioning of RRBs to compete and play a more meaningful role in the financial services sector RRBs are required to roll out Core Banking Solution (CBS) and their banking operations need to be functionally integrated with their sponsor banks. PERFORMANCE OF RRBs AS ON 31 MARCH, 2011 The...

RATE (not Rank) the global importance of each of Porter’s five industry forces on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = Low, 5 = High), and provide at least two reasons for each rating. In addition, list at least three industries that complement the industry you choose. (30 points) Airlines Industry 1. Oil Service Industry- Fuel airplanes, and shuttle-bus. 2. Banking Industry- Some airline have their own credit union and others rely on banks for reward sky miles. 3. Insurance Industry- Employee insurance. Rate 4 Threats of New Entrants. At first glance, you might think that the airline industry is pretty tough to break into, but don't be fooled. You'll need to look at whether there are substantial costs to access bank loans and credit. If borrowing is cheap, then the likelihood of more airliners entering the industry is higher. The more new airlines that enter the market, the more saturated it becomes for everyone. Brand name recognition and frequent fliers point also play a role in the airline industry. An airline with a strong brand name and incentives can often lure a customer even if its prices are higher (Investopedia, 2012). Rate 4 Powers of Suppliers. The airline supply business is mainly dominated by Boeing and Airbus. For this reason, there isn't a lot of cutthroat competition among suppliers....

...Globalization and me: what impacts could it be? According to Word Power Dictionary, globalization comes from word globalize which means develop (business, society, etc.) so as to make international influence or action possible. Other than that, globalization can be define as the increasing connectivity and interdependence of the world’s economies, societies, and cultures because of advances in communications, technology, trade, international investment movement of currency, and migration. In my opinion, technology is the big roles or function that brings the globalization. Same as Kenichi Ohmea words, globalization as a borderless world seeks to change the world into a single unit only. This process is easier with the advances in communication technology. There are numerous ways in which globalization has impacted the world. The globalization has impacted on education, economic, culture, language, food and others. Globalization also means the phenomenon that makes the world seem smaller in terms of human relations due to the speed of development of information technology. Human easily get information and difficult to filter the negative elements that permeate the hearts and minds. Some terms such as “borderless worlds” and “open skies” make such as trade, the development of political and economic power towards the development of civilization. Education is the process of receiving and giving systematic instruction, especially at school and university. There are positive and...

...recent years there has been an industry-wide shakedown will have far-reaching effects on the industry’s trend towards expanding domestic and international services. Originally, the airline industry was either partly or wholly government owned. This is still true in many countries, but in the United States all major airlines are private. This airline industry is classified into four categories by the Department of Transportation (DOT): International - 130+ seat planes that have the ability to take passengers just about anywhere in the world. Companies in this category typically have annual revenue of $1 Billion or more. National - usually these airlines seat 100-150 people and have revenues between $100 million and $1 billion. Regional - companies with revenues less than $100 million that focus on short-haul flights. Cargo - these are airlines whose main purpose is to transport goods. Airport capacity, route structures, technology, and costs to lease or buy the physical aircraft are significant in the airline industry. Other large issues are: Weather - The problem is that weather is variable and unpredictable. Extreme heat, cold, fog, and snow...

...AMR Faces $162 Million in Penalties: WSJ Tues. Aug. 7 2012 Pg. B3 Key Terms: Oligopoly, Government Regulations, Externalities, Profits One could argue that one of the worst feelings in the world is that sinking sensation when you find out that your flight is delayed. Often times, you will see your plane sitting at the gate, so what are they doing out there? Odds are the answer to this question is maintenance. Maintaining a fleet of planes is a huge cost to the airline industry and it’s a cost that the airlines are willing to skip out on if they can in order to maximize profits. The airline industry is an oligopoly. This is to say, there are limited number of firms in a market supplying the same good. In this model, firms are really sensitive to what each other are doing. Each one is trying to get a leg up on the other and if saving a bit of money on maintenance means your firm can keep up with the next airline that lowers its prices, they will do just that. Enter the FAA. The Federal Aviation Administration is a governmental organization designed to monitor and regulate the airline industry, all for the benefits of the taxpayer of course. The FAA wants to hit AMR Corp., the parent company of American airlines, with $162 million dollars in fines for violations concerning maintenance. These fines seem hefty and would lead one to believe that AMR Corp. is putting an unsafe product in the air. The scope of their crimes...

Inflation, a slumping economy, high fuel prices, and high unemployment all serve to add to consumer uncertainty toward the future. Taking this into consideration, there is perhaps no other industry directly impacted by these issues than the airline industry. With high unemployment and a recessive economy, families cannot afford to take vacations that require flying. Businesses that are hurting financially will use other means, (such as Teleconferencing) to coordinate nationally and internationally instead of flying. Today, many consumer attitudes towards the entire flying experience range from a necessary nuisance to a nightmare. Flying today in the post 9-11 world, has become an unpleasant experience to say the least. From check-in to baggage pick...

...Business 499 Prof. Rufus Robinson Assignment 4: Merger, Acquisition, and International Strategies February 27, 2014 The two companies that I chose to research that has aq are American Airlines and US Airways. On January 7, 2014 both airline announced the $17 billion merger that created the world’s largest airline, which is a position that American Airlines once held years ago until a wave of mergers and consolidations in the airline industry over the past few years. It plans to operate nearly 6,700 daily flights to more than 330 destinations in more than 50 countries. The strategy that led US Airways and American Airlines to merge was one of mutual benefit. In 2012, US Airways expressed interest in taking over AMR Corporation, which is the parent company of American Airlines. In March, AMR’s CEO Tom Horton said that the company was open to a merger. Under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, American Airlines had been looking to merge with another airline. In my opinion, I believe that this merger was a wise choice because the merger could possibly yield more than $1.5 billion a year in added revenue and cost savings to the airline. Stakeholders of AMR would own 72% of the company and US Airways would own the remaining 28%. Both airlines stated that there would be no lay-offs and have the major support of several labor groups that faced an uncertain future after AMR Corporation filed for bankruptcy in 2011. Shares of the combined company rose from 2.7% to $24.60 on...

...Morehead State University | Accreditation and Evaluation Summary | IMS 421 | Marvin Stevenson 1-28-2015 | 1. Differentiate between programmatic and institutional accreditation. Continuing one’s education above the high school is an important decision and a life changing event. Therefore attending a college that offers accredited degrees can make a huge difference in a person’s future. A college program that is not accredited can mean, you are not eligible for federal financial aid, may not be able to transfer credits to another college or university, and you may not be able to attain an appropriate professional licensure in your field. This is why it is important for students to be aware of the type of accreditation offered by schools or the lack of accreditation missing by them. Therefore it is important to know the difference be the two types of accreditations. An institutional accredited program achieves its accreditation through representatives from dedicated accrediting institutions evaluate colleges and universities. This is a means for colleges and universities to assess their own performance and compare themselves to other schools. Before being granted institutional accreditation status, all aspects of a college or university are evaluated. If a school is awarded accreditation means that the institution meets certain standards of educational quality. In addition, institutional accreditation is more comprehensive and indicates that the institution...

...• " A STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES IN REGIONAL RURAL BANK OF MP II (A) INTRODUCTION OF HRD According to Economic Theory, the factors of production are land, labour, capital, organization and enterprise to produce and distribute goods and services. These five factors can be further grouped into two broad categories, (i) land and capital and (ii) labour, organization and enterprise. The former category is passive in nature while the latter one is active. The inputs of this category may be largely termed as human resources working in the form of entrepreneurs, managers and workers. No amount of production of any good or service is possible in their absence. Even with the given factor - inputs (factors of production) of the first category, the magnitude of goods and services and their quality depend on the quality of such human resources. In the present day society, the need for well developed and qualified human resources is being felt very profoundly to successfully face cut-throat competition. This is because the modern commercial and industrial scenario is characterized by mega-sized organizations, global competitions, innovative and newer wide variety of goods and services and ever changing technology. In this situation, the development of human resources has assumed more significance so as to understand and use ever - changing technology and to do the job effectively and efficiently, eventually leading to...

...| | Written Assignment 1 Frantisek Dzuno 2012-10-MAR-301 Part A Choose a specific industry (e.g., grocery retailing, the airline industry, etc.), and apply Porter's Five Forces Model to discuss that industry's competitive forces and their relative influence. The domestic airline industry has generally been characterized by very high competition and low profit margins. To understand the position of the economic climate in this environment, an examination of Porter’s Five Forces could be used to obtain a better picture of these factors’ within the airline industry. New entrants are usually blocked by the cost or difficulty if entering a market (Boone & Kurtz , 41). The airline industry is a typical case when the extremely high initial cost is the main barrier for new entities - entrants. The investment to build, purchase or rent airplane is enormous. Employees such as pilots and maintenance technicians are expensive to pay. The training efforts are extremely high. Security, safety requirements are heavy regulated. Another important factor which creates a challenge for new entrants to enter the airline market is the brand identity. Airlines with a long history in the industry have created a strong relationship with their loyal customers based on safety records as well as the discount programs they offer (frequent flyer programs, business members) The Power of Suppliers within the airline industry is very low. The main factor relating to the bargaining power...

...Accreditation in Distance Education Katrina Dixon Spring 2012 Choosing the appropriate school for Higher Education is a major decision that all students must face. The world of accreditation is slowly changing, generally in the direction of dealing more with outcomes: how schools teach or train their students and how well the students perform (Bear, Nixon 2006, 37) Making sure that the school has the courses they desire, flexibility and if it is affordable to them are all issues that must be looked at but the most important aspect of the decision is finding out about the school’s accreditation. Accreditation is a validation process by which institutions of higher education are evaluated against established standards to ensure a high level of educational quality. Knowing the accreditation status of the school that you have chosen for your Higher Education is very important because the school’s accreditation can determine how usable a degree is once it is obtained. This paper will discuss accreditation in depth and what it means to distance education. Researching an institution accreditation can be tedious but it is necessary to have this knowledge. Asking college officials and current students is one way to gather information but a prospective student should also look for other signs that the institution is credible. One of the best indicators for quality of an institution is recognition from nationally recognized professional organizations. ...
