“A Study on Job Description and its Effect on Employee Performance: Case of Some Selected Manufacturing Organizations in the City of Pune, India”

Dr. K. Krishnam Raju, Dr. Sweta Banerjee · February 2017 · pp. 01-10

I. INTRODUCTION Accordingly Brannick et al. (2007), job descriptions is an instrument used by the people who does not know accurately how to perform the job. So, to make employees perform their jobs well there has to be a clear and specific job description. Therefore, many organizations are working hard to make sure that job descriptions that they have are effective in term of productivity and in achieving the organization’s objectives. For these reasons, many researchers conducted many study to assess the effects of job description for the success of the organizations. As, in the fast changing world there are many changes in the nature of working environment and technology, and so the job description should be adjusted to incorporate the changes. Therefore, this study focuses on the assessment of the role of job description in determining the employee performance particularly in some selected manufacturing organizations in the city of Pune, India. So, far it will use different concepts and practices in relation to job description and its effects on employees’ performance.

DC Electrical Transport Properties and Non–adiabatic Small Polaron Hopping conduction in Semiconducting Vanadate Glasses

Anindya Sundar Das, Madhab Roy, Debasish Roy and Sanjib Bhattacharya · February 2017 · pp. 11-19

Transition metal oxide (TMO) doped semiconducting glass nano–composites xV2O5–(1–x) (0.05MoO3–0.95ZnO), x= 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 0.93 have been develop by conventional melt quenching technique. The temperature and compositional dependences of the dc electrical transport properties of as prepared vanadate glasses have been reported. Low and high temperature activation energy, density of states at Fermi level, optical phonon frequency and Debye temperature have been computed. Formation of small polaron has been confirmed from dc electrical conductivity experimental data and conductivity is due to mainly polaron hopping from V+4 to V+5 valence state in these glassy systems. The Schnakenberg’s multiphonon assisted hopping model of small polaron is the best model to interpret the temperature dependence of the activation energy and the conductivity over the entire temperature range of measurement. The various polaron hopping parameters such as polaron radius, polaron band width (J), polaron hopping energy and the value of electron–phonon interaction coefficient (γP) have been evaluated. The estimated value of hopping carrier mobility (μ) and hopping carrier concentration (NC) is found to depend on temperature and V2O5 content. According to Holstein, it is confirmed that non–adiabatic small polaron hopping is responsible for the electrical conductivity in presently studied glassy systems.

Methods to Manage the Challenges of Change

Prof. Shubhangi Vitthal Gaikwad · February 2017 · pp. 20-24

“Marketing is the conception and deliverance of a standard of living to the society”. I. INTRODUCTION Marketing has got a very significant role in marketing and business management. It is considered to be as a proper and pure management function. So, just because of this it has got its base in the decision making process of an organization. Thus, Marketing is essential for meeting the needs, desires and wants of the customers on large scale. It is about understanding and handling customers by identifying their problems and finding different ways to produce products or services which are demanded by customers. Marketing Management is the planning, implementation, analysis, and control of marketing based programmes that are designed to build, create and maintain the practical approach of the marketing techniques. It helps the marketing firms to take decision regarding the changes taking place in the environment. These changes are related to the four important “P’s” of Marketing Mix. Thus, marketing management gives importance to the application and practical method of the marketing activities of the firm. So, for this reason the Marketing Manager has got a crucial to role to play in the marketing firm in connection with achieving the organizational objectives. It is the Marketing Manager only who will take decision regarding the following things: a. How to deal with the production of products by adding new features to it. b. How to charge prices on the commodities before placing it for sale in the market. c. How to get and identify markets for the product. d. How to deal with the promotion and advertising strategies in order to increase the sales of the firm. e. How to provide good packages on the product regarding safely handling it, etc. The perception of marketing not only deals with the simple transaction of exchange of goods and services but also includes the complex and complicated transactions as well, connecting various interrelated and unified variables. As the thought regarding the same has changed, various experts have tried to put the definitions of marketing management at various points of time. One can really find the variations in the definitions because of the fact that marketing has no accepted fundamental hypothetical base like other streams have got. Thus, in short marketing management is the management which deals with the marketing activities of the firm.

Preparation of Mixed Phase (Anatase/Rutile) TiO2 Nanopowder by Simple Sol Gel Method

Shubhra Mathur, Rohit Jain, S.K. Sharma · February 2017 · pp. 25-27

TiO2 nanopowder having both anatase and rutile phases was prepared by a simple procedure using sol-gel method. Titanium isopropoxide was used as a titania source and mixed with methanol and TiO2 nanopowder was obtained after annealing at 6000C for 1 hour in air. The specimens made from this powder were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). XRD studies revealed the presence of both anatase and rutile phases with an average crystallite size of 35 ± 5 nm. No significant weight loss up to 7000 C was observed by TGA curve which indicates that TiO2 nanopowder is thermally stable. TEM revealed the presence of a number of crystalline grains in a structured matrix and selected electron diffraction pattern showed different arrangement of diffracted rings which confirms a phase evolution of crystalline grains of TiO2 (anatase/rutile) due to thermal annealing. Mixed phase (anatase/rutile) TiO2 nanopowder has been reported [1], [2] to exhibit improved photocatalytic and gas sensing properties. It is proposed to study the gas sensing behavior of these specimens during our research investigations on TiO2 nanopowder. .

Food Insecurity and Government Intervention for Sustainable Food Access in Odisha

Satyanarayan Behera, Dr. Govinda Chandra Penthoi · February 2017 · pp. 38-46

This paper aims to find out the status and causes of food insecurity and policy measures taken by the government to reduce insecurity in Odisha. The data used in this paper have been collected from different secondary sources like books, journals, news papers, government reports etc. The study shows that the main cause of food insecurity in Odisha is absence of purchasing power of people to purchase adequate amounts of foods to meet basic minimum food requirements. Purchasing power is absent because of poverty. 9%of the population are extremely food insecure consuming less than 1800 kcl per day. The vulnerability is high in southern and northern regions of the state as well as among SC and ST communities and is more experienced in rural areas than urban areas. Government of Odisha intervene the situation to counter insecurity through different measures like subsidized distribution of food grains, nutrition provisioning through Anganwadis and mid-day meals, food for work programmes etc. Because of implementation of these measures calories intake of people of KBK regions has increased from 1674.6 kcl in 2004-05 to 1819.0 kcl in 2011-12 and that of non-KBK regions has increased from 2046.5 kcl in 2004-05 to 2076 kcl in 2011-12. Finally, the paper suggests that the government should focus on development of agriculture and employment generation and price stability.

Microfinance and Entrepreneurship Development

Anchit Jhamb, Sawita Jhamb · February 2017 · pp. 54-56

I. INTRODUCTION The roots of Microfinance were seen in the 19th century but these little roots took the shape of trees in the 20th century. These trees were grown by a very famous personality named Prof. Mohammed Yunus. He won noble prize for this work. He was very much moved emotionally by seeing the financially poor condition of his countrymen and that emotional outlet was in form of Microfinance under Grameen Model for the development and poverty alleviation and uplifting the standard of living of his countrymen. Seeing this tree grow many nations all over the world thought of joining hands and to make theses scattered trees grow into a dense forest. And their efforts really started bearing fruits on these trees. In the same time NABARD (National Bank for agricultural and Rural Development) took the initiative to bring the same changes in the rural areas of India. And as the time moved further the gloomy faces of people started changing into the smiling faces as slowly and steadily money started rolling into their hands and they started to move out of the clutches of money lenders. “Microfinance in India works under 4 major models a) Self Help Group b) Grameen Model c) Joint Liability Group d) Co-operative society”- Microfinance Institutions are in great favor of lending money to female category of the society because they feel the female fraternity is very much sensitive towards their family so they work hard order to repay the loan amount well in time. Microfinance works at the very root level so the major economic disturbances like the issue of 2007 and 2011 does not have the impact on economic life of the citizen of nation. Microfinance has the major role to play in the flagship programme of government of India started by Sh. Narendera Modi for example skill India, Start-up India, Make In India. And a place to link the major 4M’s of a business to give a start to some kind of Manufacturing and Selling is known an Enterprise and the person who links all these 4M’s in such a manner that maximum return can be generated through operational activity of an Enterprise is known as an Entrepreneur. The process of developing and making a positive growth in enterprise, entrepreneur and ultimately the society is known as Entrepreneurship. And when there is an increment in entrepreneurial skills and knowledge through some structured training is known as Entrepreneurship Development. “The best example of Entrepreneurial Success is Dhirubhai ambani-founder of Reliance Group and also according to the report of NSSO out of every 1000 Indians 250 are self employed ”[2] .
