The monotonous demand for rice in Bangladesh is shifting rapidly. Positive economic growth andurbanization are the key factors behind this change. The agricultural marketing system is traditional andnot properly functional. A group of intermediaries controls the market and supply chain of agriculturalproducts. A proper functional market is vital for food producers, processors, traders, and consumers.Bangladesh has become self-sufficient in cereal crop production, but the production of horticulturalcrops is not sufficient yet. This situation has led to severe bottlenecks in the processes of marketing. Thestudy aimed at assessing the present marketing system of agricultural products in Sylhet and atdetermining the marketing constraints and potentialities of farm products in this area. It was found thatthe net marketing margin was the highest in the case of the retailer and the lowest in case of Aratdar. ButReturn on operating capital was the highest for the Aratdar because they did not need to purchase theproduct they handle. The farmers identified the high price of seed as the topmost constraint in productionand marketing systems. Re-structuring of Market Management System and updating regulatory andinstitutional set up are highly essential for the proper functioning of the market system.

“Smart” infusion pumps include built in drug error reduction software which uses a drug library. Studies have reported the drug library build should be undertaken by a multidisciplinary team, including a pharmacist; however, the extent or nature of the input required by the pharmacist for greatest benefit is unknown. This review aimed to identify key factors for the implementation of the smart infusion pumps, with a focus on the role of pharmacists and compare this to the experience from a case study. A literature review was conducted using Embase and Ovid Medline, and 13 eligible papers were found. Predominant themes relating to the pharmacist’s role and successful implementation of the smart infusion pumps were determined. Key factors for success included team involvement across the entire process from procurement, set-up through to implementation including risk assessment and device distribution, and training, which were comparable to the case study experience. Few studies described the extent or details of the pharmacist’s responsibilities.

Theme parks have become a vital component of the tourism industry, providing entertainment and excitement to local residents and tourists. Particularly, more and more parks start their business in Asia. In this competitive environment, investigating the success and failure cases may prove very fruitful implications to other practitioners. Among these implications innovative marketing strategies are one of the most important ones. However, few previous studies attached importance to the study of theme park industry and the service performance in China. Given this lack of attention, this study was conducted in attempts to shed some lights for the park managers all around the world in general but also the ones in Chinese market, in particular. A case study of Wuhu Fantawild Dreamland, Anhui, China, was adopted for the survey and interviews. The analyses suggested China's theme park visitors had some unique preferences which can be used while creating innovative marketing strategies.

Urban dwellers, with wide requirements in recent times are seeking for satisfaction in such historical places.

In 1989, the Walt Disney Company financed its major European theme park and real estate development using a variety of financing tools and techniques that, when bundled together, amounted to a project financing. The case recounts the details of this financing and invites students to evaluate the financing from various standpoints, including those of the Walt Disney Company, the government of France, European equity investors, and European banks. The resulting opinion about the attractiveness of the project ultimately hinges on beliefs about European market demand for an American-style theme park. The case may be used to exercise students' skills in valuation analysis, to illustrate techniques for financing major real-property projects, and to explore the creation and transfer of wealth in such projects.
