The maximum protection against aphis on crop and seed yield was recorded in insecticidal check Deltamethrin 0.003%. However, alone application of Verticillium lacanii, applied as aqueous suspension along with Tween 80, 0.02% + 0.2% vegetable oil (108 spores/ml), neem oil-2% and sulphur extract of karanj-1% gave good control of aphids and yield of seed fennel at harvest. The application of entomopathogen in combination with neem oil showed reduced impact on aphid control and yield than alone application of either product as treatments. Among the biorational approaches applied, maximum increase in yield (46.5%) over control was recorded in treatment containing 2% neem oil followed by sulphur extract of karanj.Not Availabl

A Review of Strategic Process Research

This article reviews research on the process of strategic management reported over the last six years in seven leading journals. Nine "streams" of work are identified and critiqued. The field is described as giving continuing attention to the possibilities and problems of strategic planning and decision making, but also moving into new areas of research - especially the problem of how the attention of decision makers is directed toward specific agendas for action. We recommend more studies that simultaneously consider strategy formulation and implementation and more studies that attempt to integrate methods and concerns across the various areas of process research. Finally, we recommend that future research give simultaneous attention to the content as well as the process of strategy
