The Hotel Management Institute provides graduate students with basic skills and knowledge to be recruited and inducted as an entry-level workforce. Before completion of the graduate program, students undergo a Hotel Exposure Training program as part of their graduate study in luxury hotels which gives immense benefits to the students to know more about different functions of the hotel. There is always the perception changes with every graduates students from the time of enrollment to completion of the course. The critical phase is when the graduates students undergo the real time work exposure in the hotel. The research study explores the perception of Generation Z category undergraduate and graduate students. Generation Z are those born after the year 1996. The study focused on the effectiveness of hotel exposure training in terms of gaining confidence, understanding of the hotel operations and its influence, the student's perception on learning professional and technical skills, management practices, departmental functions, employment law and salary and benefit and to identify post-training employment opportunity. The study covered the Generation Z students of IHMC & AN-Chennai, India. The study, conducted by survey method, found that, the perception of the generation Z graduate students on the different variables are positive except the long working hours, which the institute and the host hotel discuss and find solution through better training schedule. The majority of the preference for career choice is in core functions of the hotel. Regarding employment opportunity, there is a scope for the host hotel to identify the required talents in advance and pursue in campus interview.

The Purpose of the study is to determine whether there is a meaningful difference between the self-efficacy and self-efficacy perceptions of the footballers (gender, marital status, age and education level etc.) according to their personal qualities. The sample of the work consists of professional male and female soccer teams in Ankara. A total of 354 athletes from 10 male to 5 female soccer teams participated in the study. 128 female soccer players and 226 male soccer players participated. The majority of the athletes participating in the survey are between the ages of 19-23. ''Group Cohesion Scale'' developed by Hatem Ocel and Orhan Aydın (2006) and '' General Self-Efficacy Scale'' developed by Aysin Yesilay, Ralf Shcwarzer and Matthias Gersusalem (1995) were used in the research. Because of the obtained data did not show normal distribution, the nonparametric tests Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis test statistics were used. According to the findings, "Group Cohesion and Self-Efficacy" perceptions differ significantly according to gender. Male participants (X =2,26) were found to have a higher "Group Cohesion" score than female participants (X = 2,08). It is also seen that male participants (X = 2,14) received "Self-Efficacy" scores higher than female participants (X = 1.96). According to the marital status variable, there was no significant difference in the perception of "Group Cohesion" and "Self-Efficacy". There was a significant difference between "Group Cohesion" scores according to age variable. As a result of the multiple comparison tests, the 15-18 age groups were found to score higher than the age group of 19 and above. According to the educational status variable, there was no significant difference between the scale scores of "Group Cohesion and Self-Efficacy".

Supply chain finance (SCF) is dynamic approach in banks’ proprietary platform and is becoming more flexible and transparent through ingenious technological solutions of effectively integrating the flows of logistics and capital into the financial service provider industry. The paper aims to utilize the TF-IDF technique in order to make greater contributions to future SCF researches and discusses different scopes of SCF and their relation to roll out SCF solutions. In efforts to demonstrate the importance role that frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF) plays in retrieving information using various keywords within various document (otherwise known as text mining), this study will attempt to showcase the research findings from more than 250 academic database which focuses on supply chain finance between seller and buyer. In presenting the two leading components that impact the analysis of text mining, namely the mechanism and technological innovation of SCF. Through systematic review of the SCF is concerned with financial liquidity and the viability of SCF, this research will analyze the keyword frequencies and assess the significance of terms (or words) within this document collection separately. Finally, this report explores possible solutions for future research based on the current framework and data analysis in order to achieve capital gain, sustainability and viable replenishments.

One of the most important issues in today's banking sector is that they want to add new customers to their bodies and want to keep their current customers. For this, banks spend a lot of money. Because of the methods they use, they either have to keep information flow to all their customers or they have to focus on their customers, whose traditional methods of probability leave. In this article, the probability of bank customers left by artificial neural networks is estimated. Presently, with the improvement of technology, a growing number of banks, holding existing clients for banks and combining new clients into their systems have earned significance. As the Bank’s efficiency, it is essential to define the clients with the contingency of dropping within existing clients. The client pool generated by the classical methods utilized leads to the introduction of activities on a major number of groups for the bank. This outcomes in higher expenses for banks. The main purpose of this paper is to lay the foundation for further research for precision of the bank will keep who as a customer. The findings of our study with artificial neural networks have described a minimal and more compressed group as clients who are likely to leave. In this way, it is foreseen that the likely costs of banks will minimize. As a result of this study, the most accurate estimation was obtained by educating artificial neural networks with the most accurate values.

This paper examines the impacts of outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) on the home firm's productivity in an emerging economy. Based on the literature review and findings from this paper of Chinese outward investing firms, we develop a conceptual framework that integrates the resource-based view, industrial organization economics, and institutional view of international business study. In our findings, they show that the integrating model of three aspects have higher explanation than the individual aspect model. We use firm-level data to explain how the firm-specific factors, industrial factors, and national institution factors affect productivity in Chinese OFDI firms. Also, this analysis of firm-level data can provide evidences in the effectiveness of resource using, competitiveness, and policy impact on individual firms.

During the past 20 years, substantial efforts were made to improve irrigation Management-Operation & Maintenance (MOM) through introduction of participatory irrigation management (PIM). PIM proved generally successful on small and medium schemes but it has yielded limited results on large schemes. Stakeholder engagement in irrigation system shapes hydrosocial territories: (1) by reducing tension between stakeholders, (2) by redirecting regional planning and strategy, (3) by highlighting water crises, (4) by decentralizing water responsibilities and (5) by integrating values and beliefs from different stakeholders (Sandra Ricart, et.al, 2018). Privatization started to become politically fashionable in the late 1980. In this context privatization means off-loading government ownership or responsibility for operation into the private sector, either to the farmers themselves or to an intermediate private subcontractor. But is it just a means of off-loading responsibility from a government line management system that can't cope, or is it really to benefit the farmers? (Adrian Laycock, 2011). Barind Multipurpose Development Authority (BMDA) is an autonomous authority. The BMDA does not require external finance and sustainable finance to operate the irrigation project. There are around 16,000 deep tube wells and surface lift pumps covering around 0.6 million hectares (round the year) under BMDA management. BMDA is managed by a board chaired by an appointee of the government. There are three other members representatives from farmers including other relevant department's representatives. BMDA has introduced innovative concept for prepayment for water; this was started using a system of using electronic prepaid meters. There are no formal WUOs established instead keeps a very close liaison with the farmers and the communities through their field offices, this approach appears to be effective. The chief executive of a successful irrigation project should have a clear idea about people, land and water.

Designing comprehensive youth development programmes that combat the engagement of Health Risk Behaviour has become a crucial component in the battle against the challenges that the youth are confronted with in an ever changing environment. A Delphi technique was used to explore the feasibility of a designed comprehensive youth development programme aimed at combatting Health Risk Behaviour amongst youth in selected high schools in the Paarl area, Western Cape. A purposive sample of 24 experts was invited to participate. The Delphi process was administered online using Google docs. Specific questions were arranged in order for the panel of experts to give input as to: (i) the scope of the programme, (ii) the content of the programme, (iii) the approaches of the programme, (iv) the implementation of the programme, (v) the resources of the programme and (vi) the cost of the programme. The results and observations included: 1) scaffolding the programme into specific age- and gender-based activities; 2) the understanding that the programme be sensitive to the diverse needs and background of its participants; 3)the need for training of facilitators in order to be equipped to deal with the challenges that will emerge throughout the programme.

This article pertains to the development of alternative ship cost modeling methodologies. Most ship cost modeling has been traditionally weight-based. This approach drives the U.S. Navy to select smaller ships that, consequently, require custom-designed shipboard components. This research project is intended to help determine if there is a more accurate way to empirically predict, forecast, and model ship cost. Current and forecasted U.S. Department of Defense budgets require identifying, modeling, and estimating the costs of shipbuilding. Information and data were obtained via publicly available sources and were collected, collated, and used in an integrated risk-based cost and schedule modeling methodology. The objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive cost modeling strategy and approach, and as such, notional data were used. Specifically, we used the Arleigh Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer DDG 51 Flight I, Flight II, Flight IIA, and Flight III as a basis for the cost and schedule assumptions, but the modeling approach is extensible to any and all other ships within the U.S. Navy. The results will be used to develop recommendations and develop a cost modeling tool on how to implement ship cost forecasts. This example will provide a roadmap for other new ship cost modeling by the U.S. Navy, thereby improving effectiveness and increasing cost savings.

The main objective of the paper is to determine the impact of adequate working conditions for older employees on work engagement of older employees in financial services companies in Slovenia. The research is based on the implementation of a factor analysis by which we wanted to reduce the large number of variables into a smaller number of factors. With those factors, we performed a regression analysis. Based on the results, we confirmed the hypothesis that adequate working conditions for older employees have a significant positive impact on work engagement of older employees in financial services companies in Slovenia.

The research is based on the implementation of a factor analysis by which we wanted to reduce the large number of variables into a smaller number of factors. With those factors, we performed a regression analysis. Based on the results, we confirmed the hypothesis that adequate working conditions for older employees have a significant positive impact on work engagement of older employees in financial services companies in Slovenia. From this point of view, financial services companies should apply appropriate measures to reduce workload as well as to contribute to employees' well-being and better workplace performance, which is reflected in work engagement of older employees.","PeriodicalId":211193,"journal":{"name":"Universal journal of management","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115883213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
