This article explores factors affecting the survival and exit routes of new firms created in 2004 using data from the Kauffman Firm Survey. We draw upon the Resource-Based View to test several hypotheses regarding the impact of both tangible and intangible resources on new firm survival in both service and non-service firms. We also distinguish between two types of exit: closures (permanently stopped operations) and mergers or acquisitions. Our results reveal that, although service and non-service firms may differ in terms of industry structure, the fundamental resources that contribute to their survival are the same: education, work and life experience and adequate levels of startup financial capital. In spite of these similarities, our results did reveal industry differences in terms of exit. We found serial entrepreneurs in the service sector were more likely to exit through merger or acquisition. Conversely, intellectual property decreased the likelihood of exit through merger or acquisition for non-service firms. Thus, our findings revealed a link between human capital, industry and exit route for this sample of new firms.

The present study is an attempt to examine relationship of emotional intelligence, cultural intelligence, perceived organizational support, perceived family support, work adjustment, general adjustment with Intention to finish the assignment of Indian Information technology expatriates in United States of America. This study adopts positivist deductive approach it, starts with clear variables which are derived from theory and based on these variables. Structured questionnaire is used to collect the data. The sample for the present study was collected from the Indian IT expatriates who are assigned to USA working in the four major IT cluster of USA i.e. California, Washington, New York, & Chicago. A total 634 questionnaires were received indicating a response rate of 52 %. The questionnaire for this study consists of 78 items and the five point Likert scale is used for record the response. SPSS 21 and Microsoft excel are the statistical packages and regression is the tools used in the present study. The study proposes a strong relationship among emotional intelligence and expatriate intention to finish the assignment. . An emotional intelligent employee is more adjustable to the new cultural work environment and there are high chances of him being completing the assignment. Cultural intelligence help the expatriate to adjust well to the diverse work environment and when the expatriate is well adjusted to the new environment, his or her intention to complete the assignment will be high. The importance of the organizational support is essential for the employee well-being and the employees if they perceive that organization supports them in all facets of their work and family they will to be more productive and more committed to the organization. A well-adjusted employee to both general environment and work environment will have high intention to finish the assignment. No significant relationship was found between perceived family support and expatriate intention to finish the assignment. One of the important reason for the expatriate failure is the non-adjustment of the family so the perceived family support have a direct impact on the expatriate intention to finish the assignment.

In spite of the place of mathematics in the Nigerian education system, the performance of students in both external and internal examinations is on the downward trend. Research on factors affecting students’ achievement in mathematics has often neglected the impact of psychological variables, such as emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. This study, therefore, was designed to study how emotional intelligence, self-esteem and the self-efficacy of students predict their academic achievement in mathematics. The correlational survey research design was employed with a population of 2,937 senior secondary 2 students and a sample of 400 students sampled from 16 secondary schools in the Nnewi Education zone of Anambra State. Emotional intelligence, Self-esteem, Self-efficacy Questionnaires, and Students' Academic Achievement Score Form (SAASF) were used to collect data through the direct delivery method. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. The results showed that emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy had significant predictive powers on students' academic achievement in mathematics. Thus, emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and the self-efficacy of students are prime determinants of their achievement in mathematics. It was recommended that students should be taught using methods that will enhance their emotional intelligence, self-esteem, and self-efficacy.     Keywords: Emotional intelligence, Mathematics Achievement, Secondary school, Self-efficacy, Self-esteem;

In the quest to develop leaders who will foster a culture of equity and inclusion in the workplace, a critical factor to assess is Emotional Intelligence. EI (Emotional Intelligence) is a way for us to recognize our emotions as well as the emotions of other people. Individuals who are high in EI can recognize the emotions of others and are able to convey and regulate their own emotions. At organizations, work pressure, strain, anxiety, fearfulness, angstand depression are all related to Emotional Intelligence. These emotions could affect a person’s performance at workstation. Emotions can impact a performance, they can either create a high or crash the employee’s morale which will affect the persons performance positively or negatively. The research paper casts light upon the measurement of EI, and how it impacts an employee’s performance. The highlights the job performance, the importance of performance index. The main purpose of the research analysis is to understand the effectivenessEIin IT(Service Sector), and how it influences their performances. The research methodology used in the study is a hybrid approach that consists of exploratory and descriptive research methods. The exploratory research is considered as the primary research method, while the descriptive research method is considered as the secondary data. We will analyze the relationship between dependent variable and independent variables of factors affecting the development of emotional intelligence of employees. This research is conducted in IT organizations in Chennai, for feasibility purpose

Participation in the 1984–85 Milk Diversion Program (MDP) is examined through the analysis of aggregate state level data for the U.S. and county level data from New York. Linear probability, logit and probit models of participation are estimated. The empirical results are highly similar across models and identify the important determinants of farmer participation in the MDP. Models explaining contracted diversion levels are also estimated but do not have the explanatory power of the participation models. The implications of the results for the analysis of U.S. dairy policy alternatives are discussed.

221 Background: JCOG1108/WJOG7312G trial showed favorable but not significantly better outcomes of 5-FU/ l-leucovorin ( l-LV) /PTX combination (FLTAX) compared to 5-FU/ l-LV (FL) in untreated patients with SPM of GC. However, a half of patients treated with FL could not sequentially use PTX which is a key drug for peritoneal metastasis. We conducted a post hoc analysis to investigate the clinical implication of using up both FU and PTX in either combination or sequential strategy for GC patients with SPM. Methods: Among 101 patients enrolled in the trial (FL: N = 51; FLTAX: N = 50), overall survival (OS) was compared between three subgroups: patients treated with FL followed by PTX (FL/PTX: N = 25), those treated with FL followed by best supportive care (BSC) (FL/BSC: N = 21), and those treated with FLTAX (per protocol population, N = 48). To identify the factors affecting the likelihood of using sequential PTX (LUSP), we compared baseline characteristics between the FL/PTX and FL/BSC subgroups. Each baseline covariate was tested for the impact on LUSP by logistic regression model. The difference of treatment efficacy between FL and FLTAX was assessed in subgroups stratified by the factors identified to affect LUSP. Results: Patients in the FL/PTX subgroup showed significantly better OS than those in the FL/BSC subgroup (median OS, 7.8 vs 2.0 months; hazard ratio [HR] 0.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.12-0.48, p < 0.01) and equivalent OS compared to those in the FLTAX subgroup (median OS, 7.8 vs 8.0 months; HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.50-1.39, p = 0.49). Compared with patients in the FL/BSC subgroup, those in the FL/PTX subgroup had a trend for lower frequency of Glasgow prognostic score (GPS) 2 (40.0% vs 66.7%, p = 0.17) and unresectable type (76.0% vs 95.2%, p = 0.07). GPS 2 and unresectable type were identified as factors with a worse impact on LUSP compared to GPS 0 and recurrent type, with odds ratio (OR) of 0.29 (95% CI 0.05-1.78, p = 0.18) and that of 0.16 (95% CI 0.02-1.44, p = 0.10), respectively. Among all patients enrolled in the trial, 43 patients had both GPS2 and unresectable type (score 2), 45 had either (score 1), 11 had neither (score 0), and two lacked the data of GPS. Median OS in the patients with score 2, 1, and 0 was 4.7, 7.8, and 18.8 months, respectively (score 2 vs 0, HR 4.37, 95% CI 1.84-10.42; score 1 vs 0, HR = 2.80, 95% CI 1.19-6.64). Compared to FL, FLTAX showed better OS in patients with score 2 (HR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.32-1.13) and in those with score 1 (HR = 0.77, 95% CI 0.42-1.42), but worse OS in those with score 0 (HR = 4.74, 95% CI 0.49-45.85). Conclusions: Combination or sequential use of active two drugs, 5-FU and PTX, might contribute to better OS of GC patients with SPM. However, because selection of patients suitable to sequential use is difficult, the combination strategy FLTAX is a favorable treatment option.

This chapter acquaints the reader with the impact of the U.S. and Western news media in Afghanistan by telling the story of how President Hamid Karzai banished New York Times reporter Matthew Rosenberg in August 2014, during the final weeks of his presidency. The chapter uses this story to illustrate the perceived hegemony that U.S. news has in international affairs by foreign actors. A country’s news media create and maintain a nation, employing common symbols and language and constructing narratives that resonate with the country’s citizens. Journalists intend to be observers of international politics, but unintentionally they are its participants. The chapter explains how news and nationalism intersect with international politics and introduces the reader to the groundbreaking yet nascent community of Afghan journalists who saw American and other Western journalists as their professional guides.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to review published research on retail customer service communication with people with complex communication needs (CCN) and impacts on their social inclusion.Design/methodology/approachThe researchers searched electronic databases EBSCOHost and Web of Science and found no studies on retail customers with CCN. The search was expanded with the intention of exploring factors affecting people with disability as a group and to locate the experience of people with CCN within findings. Studies found were reviewed by the first author and two external reviewers.FindingsTwelve articles met the broadened inclusion criteria. Analysis using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) found the literature demonstrated some environmental and personal factors that are likely to construct disability in the retail environment for people with CCN. The authors proposed further research to further explore ICF factors not identified in research and to establish links with social inclusion.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research is needed to understand the role of retail customer service communication in the social inclusion of people with CCN.Social implicationsThe social inclusion of people with CCN will be assisted by findings on good practice customer service communication.Originality/valueShopping is rarely considered in social inclusion research. This review discovered an absence of research into the impact of retail customer communication on inclusion of customers with CCN and proposed a framework for further enquiry.

The Impact

This time, the results of a survey applied in the Municipality of Tecamachalco, Puebla, Mexico, in which the target population is focused on families with one or more people who have migrated to the United States, are presented. The methodology is based on the collection of financial information on family remittances per Federal Entity with data from BANXICO (Bank of Mexico) and on the application of 478 questionnaires in a fieldwork. Also, the Migration Intensity Index was consulted at the National Population Council (CONAPO for its initials in Spanish) to analyze the number of families in Tecamachalco that receive remittances. The contribution of this project lies in the information obtained in the phenomenon of labor migration in the state of Puebla, which ranks sixth in receiving family remittances and whose main labor market in the United States takes place in the Service Sector primarily. The states where Tecamachalco migrants mainly reside are: California, Texas, and New York, and the border cities with the greatest recurrence are: Tijuana, Nogales, Agua Prieta, Nuevo Laredo, Reynosa, and Piedras Negras. Similarly, information was also obtained on the impact of remittances as well as their use and shipping method.
