The analysis is inferential and eight hypotheses have been set and tested with the regression analysis. To complete the study, the chi-squared test and Durbin-Watson test have been used along with trends and growth analysis. The results of the study reveal that the budget deficit, current account deficit, and defense budget have a positive association with external debts. Furthermore, foreign direct investment, foreign exchange reserve, foreign remittance, and trade of balance have a negative association with external debts. The external debts have no negative impact on annual GDP, GDP growth, and per capita income. Finally, there is a significant timing effect on the economic variables of Bangladesh during the study period.

Data took from literatures on competitive market and customer satisfaction. The expositions of problems that may impact the customer satisfaction through pricing strategy of Air-Asia form the conceptual basis for the design of the research instrument used for this study. Therefore, in order to capture the information relating to research objectivesand ensure that they will propose customers an acceptable value, the cost leader should not leave the base of differentiation and value to customers who are willing to pay a premium. The finding of this paper is that the Air Asia is very successful with its outstanding performance by providing low cost passage through excellent service despite its challenges and competition in the low cost Airline market.

The expositions of problems that may impact the growth of SMEs form the conceptual basis for the design of the research instrument used for this study. Therefore, in order to capture the information relating to research objectives we developed a questionnaire. The variables in the survey instrument were derived from a review policy, exploratory research and the relevant theoretical and empirical literature. Factor analysis was used to reduce a large number of variables to a smaller set of underlying factors that summarize the essential information contained in the variables. This research study uses varimax orthogonal rotation method developed by Kaiser (1958). The results indicate that variables related to finance, infrastructure, market, technology experience and political influence are highly p...

To derive the results, we had collected data from secondary source more specifically from annual report. Collected data are analyzed by using, with statistical tools and SPSS software. For testing hypothesis, we have conducted data analysis with regression model and ANOVA test. The study revealed that only 40% listed ceramic companies disclosed their environmental accounting disclosure reporting practices in annual report and 71.43% listed cement companies disclosed their environmental accounting disclosure reporting practices in annual report. Both from ceramic and cement companies, no one disclosed any monetary information about environmental accounting disclosure reporting practices in their annual report. From two sectors comparatively cement companies disclosed more environmental accou...

Disability could be caused by various types of impairment. There were two barriers such as social barriers and material barriers contribute to eliminate disabled employees from the labor market and also make separation between disabled employees and other employees. Data for this study were obtained from existing literatures on disabled employment and the hospitality industry. The methodology heavily relied on existing previous literatures on the subject being dealt with. The positive environment would be made in the workplace once people with disabilities are satisfying the employers with their work efficiency. Practicing corporate social responsibility (CSR) by the employer would contribute to decrease social barriers for disabled employees in the industry. The law of not discriminati...

We use a structural cointegration model with a vector error correction (VEC) mechanism to test for the short-term dynamics of the model. The results show that there is a reinforcing causal relationship between FDI and EQM, and between EQM and GTH in the short term, and that these variables cointegrate in the long term. As far as practical implications are concerned, the results reinforce that developed financial markets are an essential precondition for the positive impact of FDI on economic growth, reflecting host countries’ ability to exploit FDI more efficiently. Moreover, the paper provides further substance for the notion that a country with a well-developed financial market gains significantly from FDI inflow.
