Alibaba, the most well-known online company in the world founded by Jack Ma has implemented and improved their management system in many different styles in order to fit different companies in the world. In Jack Ma’s concept, autocratic management is applied to make employees more responsive due to the nature of the works in the industries. However, it will limit the freedoms of the employees when it comes to giving ideas or making decisions. Moreover, Jack Ma has changed his style into conductive style of management. This has strongly built loyalty as well as motivation within the employees. After a long period of management experience, the style that most probably used by Jack Ma throughout his career for managing Alibaba group is the persuasive style.

The guarantee of multiple water use is one of the main objectives of the Brazilian system of managing water resources. However, it is still unclear how to reach these objectives regarding hydropower plants. This paper introduces a method for support of hydropower plants taking into account the compatibility with multiple water uses. It also introduces a computational tool based on the proposed method, which assesses energy generation and possible losses associated with meeting upstream water demand. A case study of the Tocantins and Araguaia basins (Amazon region) is presented. The results obtained corroborate the applicability of the proposed method.

In this paper, we employ the ( )-expansion method to find the exact traveling wave solutions involving parameters of nonlinear dynamics of microtubulesa New Model . When these parameters are taken to be special values, the solitary wave solutions are derived from the exact traveling wave solutions. It is shown that the proposed method provides a more powerful mathematical tool for constructing exact traveling wave solutions for many other nonlinear evolution equations.

The conceptual and physically based models can be categorized as lumped, semi-distributed and distributed. Lumped model treats the catchment area as one or more homogeneous land segments where the inputs are averaged. Distributed model explicitly represents the spatial variability by dividing the catchment into grids and modeling each grid cell individually. Semi distributed model is a conceptual model that bridge the gap between lumped and distributed models. It utilizes conceptual relationships for hydrological processes that are applied to several relatively homogeneous sub-areas of the catchment area. The main objective of this research paper is to assess the effect of channel geometry of basin at the outlet of basin in semi-distributed rainfall-runoff modeling and to determine performance of the different channel sections that will produce the best results for that basin. From study on the Gandaki river basin, the efficient section for routing depends upon the purposes of the simulating rainfall runoff process. Trapezoidal section is more efficient than other sections for determination of flood forecasting and both trapezoidal and triangular section is efficient for simulating to determine the total annual runoff volume.

The researcher was intended to investigate the contribution of khat kellas and the impacts of its closure to Ethiopian economy the case of Hararghe khat kellas. Primary data has been collected through unstructured interview made to the employees of Oromia revenue bureau and Ethiopian revenue and custom authority and the secondary data has been collected from related documents, reports and books. In this regard, seven consecutive years’ data (2005-2011) was collected and analyzed by using ratios, percentage, and table and graph. This study has revealed that Hararghe khat kellas has a number of contribution to Ethiopian economy like employment generation, increase government revenue and decrease local consumption which in turn increases foreign exchange. Even if the government has closed these kellas with the intention of export promotion to increase foreign currency, it was not successful as there is no tax discrimination between khat consumed locally and exported. Tax treatment for both is the same and cannot get what it is intended for. Based on the finding of the study, conclusion and recommendations were forwarded.

The research study evaluated owner manager characteristics as a determinant of MSE growth. On this, analysis of variance was carried out to examine the variation in the growth of MSEs with respect to the variation in each of the independent variables. As two dependent variables were used to measure growth in this study, the result shows different statistical value for both of them. The ANOVA and t-test result indicates, there is a significant variation on the growth of MSEs in relation to the variations of gender, work experience and family back ground if growth is measured using asset growth. If growth is measured using employment growth, the deference in experience and family back ground brings difference in growth. But the result shows there is no significant difference in growth with respect to the difference in education level whether it is measured with asset or employment growth.

Reducing unemployment of youth has become one of the most difficult challenges for Bangladesh where youths constitute one third of total population. This study examined a range of key constraints that impede young people in Chittagong, Bangladesh, from starting and running a business and at the same time the study identified incentives, initiatives and measures that may improve young entrepreneurship. For a qualitative intervention, 44 complete questionnaires were analyzed who were selected from Chittagong, the second largest in Bangladesh, following a convenience and purposive sampling technique. Results reported that most cited start-up challenge is neglecting knowledge-based innovation, being their own boss is the main motivation to engage in business, parents and family mainly influenced young people to start business while financial risk is the most pressing de-motivator to start-up business.

A decade ago in August 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated north-central Gulf of Mexico and southeastern Louisiana and Mississippi Gulf Coast. Although nearly all anemometers in the affected areas were destroyed by Katrina, few wind and wave measurement stations did survive the storm and provide some data to advance our understanding of the physics of air-sealand interaction. Analyses of these measurements indicate that : 1. On the basis of upper-air measurements made at Key West, FL, and Slidell, LA, the power-law wind profile is verified in the atmospheric surface boundary layer (up to 300m) where the friction dominants; 2. The cyclostrophic equation, which is the balance between centrifugal force and pressure gradient force, is validated so that the wind speed at 10m over the water, U10 = 6.3(1013 - Pmin) ^ (1/2), where Pmin is the minimum sea-level pressure; 3.The significant wave height (Hs) and its dominant wave period (Tp) can be normalized by using U*, which is the friction velocity (= (τ/ρ) ^ (1/2), where τ is the wind stress and ρ is the air density).

The aim of the study is to use ratio analysis to observe significant financial trends within three major sectors of the non financial industry for the 2005-2010 period….namely textile, food and chemical sectors. Consequences shows that at least for the test period, 11 out of 14 financial ratios are statistically different across the three non financial sectors. By itself, economic trends and cross sectional abnormalities with in observed non financial industry segments are better embedded.

Research attempts to explore the information about the role of Public Relations (PR) played by governmental and private practitioners it based on five factors suggested by Moss and De Santo. Research uses quantitative approach and examines 300 PR practitioners of government and private who are arranged within the association of Indonesian Public Relations (BPP PERHUMAS). Data collection method is survey. T-test is conducted to compare of Public Relations role between government and private. Result of data analysis shows a significant difference between both on several factors such as Issues Management Expert, Troubleshooting/Problem Solver and Communication Technician. Not quite significant difference is found in some factors such as monitoring and evaluation, and also key policy and strategy advisor.
