Mobile Market

The purpose of this study is to examine cross-national data in order to identify possible factors related to the observable patterns of Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) penetration. For this purpose, a mobile market structure is analyzed considering important economic factors related to the penetration of MVNOs. MVNOs have gained popularity in the Western markets, but have a dismal track record in non-Western regions. In comparing the different regions, this study analyzes how the MVNO market has changed and what opportunities and/or threats network operators and potential MVNO entrants are likely to face. This study conducts an economic assessment of market structure and environment for different countries’ MVNO penetration. The data on market structure is analyzed by means of cluster/factor analysis techniques in order to group countries according to their market environments. Then, regression equation analysis is used to investigate the relations of MVNO penetration and independent variables. The results show that MVNO penetration significantly relates to market structure and performance. These results also imply an appropriate policy to promote MVNO diffusion.

Probability-based and measurement-related hypotheses for confirmatory factor analysis of repeated-measures data are investigated. Such hypotheses comprise precise assumptions concerning the relationships among the true components associated with the levels of the design or the items of the measure. Measurement-related hypotheses concentrate on the assumed processes, as, for example, transformation and memory processes, and represent treatment-dependent differences in processing. In contrast, probability-based hypotheses provide the opportunity to consider probabilities as outcome predictions that summarize the effects of various influences. The prediction of performance guided by inexact cues serves as an example. In the empirical part of this paper probability-based and measurement-related hypotheses are applied to working-memory data. Latent variables according to both hypotheses contribute to a good model fit. The best model fit is achieved for the model including latent variables that represented serial cognitive processing and performance according to inexact cues in combination with a latent variable for subsidiary processes.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk : 1) Mengetahui gambaran pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan, 2) Menghitung efisiensi pemasaran sawi manis dilihat dari analisis market structure, market conduct, dan market performance (SCP). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan pendekatan structure, conduct, and performance of market (SCP). Berdasarkan penelitian, pemasaran sawi manis di Kecamatan Jambi Selatan terdiri dari lima pola saluran pemasaran, yaitu : 1) petani-konsumen ; 2) petani-pedagang pengumpul besar (PPB)-agen/pedagang pengecer-konsumen ; 3) petani-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 4) petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen; 5) petani-pasar modern-konsumen. Fungsi pemasaran yang dilakukan oleh lembaga-lembaga pemasaran, yaitu fungsi pertukaran, fungsi fisik, dan fungsi fasilitas. Dengan pendekatan market structure, pasar sawi manis di Jambi Selatan cenderung mengarah kepada persaingan oligopoli murni. Dilihat dari perilaku pasar, sistem pembayaran kemudian masih terjadi antara pedagang pengumpul dengan petani dan antara pedagang pengumpul dengan pedagang eceran. Sedangkan kinerja pasar menunjukkan bahwa penyebaran marjin, farmer’s share, dan rasio keuntungan tidak merata pada masing-masing lembaga pemasaran. Dari indikator SCP yang telah dijelaskan  di atas dapat diketahui bahwa pemasaran sawi manis di Jambi Selatan belum efisien. Berdasarkan kondisi saat ini dan hasil analisis yang telah dilakukan, saluran pemasaran IV (petani-pedagang pengumpul kecil (PPK)-pedagang pengecer-konsumen) merupakan alternatif saluran pemasaran yang efisien yang dapat dipilih oleh petani.   Kata Kunci : efisiensi, pemasaran, sawi manis, SCP (structure, conduct, and performance of market)

Banking sector is predominantly a customer-focused business that provides a gamut of financial services in aid of advanced technology, prompt communication system and conception of various banks to deal with multinational led environment. Some priority should be given to human resource development in order to emerge as strong and viable financial institution. So, the banking sector should emphasize on employees and how they can be satisfied, engaged and perform better. This study indicates to what extent employee satisfaction and employee performance are interlinked with each other. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors of employee satisfaction and employee performance and to establish a relationship between them. A survey method using a structured questionnaire was used to collect the responses of bankers in SBI, Bhubaneswar region. Having the data collected from 240 filled questionnaires, analysis was carried out using exploratory factor analysis, and to further validate this, structural equation modelling was developed. This was followed by a confirmatory factor analysis to establish the linkage between employee satisfaction and employee performance. The results indicated a significant relationship between employee satisfaction and performance. This study contributes to understanding of the various factors affecting employee satisfaction and performance, especially in the banking sector. By focusing on employee satisfaction, managers can keep the employees more focused, engaged and committed to their work and enhance overall productivity of the organization.

Leadership Dimensions

Leadership dimensions and their relation to recruit satisfaction and performance were studied in 73 company commanders. Recruits completed questionnaires assessing company commanders' behaviors and recruits' attitudes. Factor analysis yielded four factors, Human, Informative, Warm, and Effective Communicator. The Human and Warm factors were consistent with interpersonal components found in prior research, but the Informative and Effective Communicator factors were only marginally consistent with task components found previously. Correlations were computed between the factors and the satisfaction and performance of recruits. All factors correlated significantly with recruits' satisfaction, but only the Human factor correlated significantly (negatively) with recruits' performance. Possible reasons for the lack of a traditional task component are discussed.

The aim of the study was performing clinical-economic analysis of the assessment methods of morphologic-functional status of left ventricular myocardium in ischemic cardiomyopathy patients. The assessment of expenses of morphologic study methods of before operation and intra-operation diagnosis of myocardial dysfunction irreversibility stage was done. Method of minimizing ex-penses was chosen to analyze these two approaches. Comparative analysis of morphologic methods showed that the most economi-cally profitable is before operation method. The economic assessment was performed for optimization of morphologic studies in the work of cardiovascular surgery department of the Institute of Cardiology, TSC RAMS (Tomsk). The necessity of myocardial dys-function state analysis is due to the selection of optimal approach to surgical treatment of ischemic cardiomyopathy patients or re-vealing contraindications to it.

Functional Drink

[Purpose] Functional beverages are intended to support those who want to maintain optimal physical condition and improve their quality of life through the enhancement of heart health, immunity, and digestion. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of top-level athletes consuming immune-strengthening conditioning nutritional drinks.[Methods] A total of 107 top-level athletes (baseball (56 players), pro volleyball (17), athletics (16), cycling (8), golf (6), and fencing (6)) participated in the experiment. They consumed an immune-enhancing functional beverage once a day for 8 weeks and responded to a survey before, during, and after drinking the beverage.[Results] Three total aspect-based subfactors were drawn from 24 questions in the factor analysis: physical, satisfaction with mental stability, and activity in performance. The physical, mental stability and performance changes of athletes significantly increased in period 2 (4 weeks after intake) and period 3 (after 8 weeks of intake).[Conclusion] We evaluated the efficacy of a new conditioned beverage containing Lactobacillus B240 and protein in improving the performance and physiological utility of top athletes. This functional drink may gain popularity among those seeking health benefits and improved exercise performance.
