HUMAN CAPITAL STRATEGIST TO OPTIMIZE ORGANIZATION EFFECTIVENESS IN ALLIANCE AND NETWORKING

Today, many firms were struggling with the combined impact of high interest rates, growing international competition and shrinking productivity, which led to the demand for greater accountability in all functions of the company. The new human resource function was not exempt from this trend, and while methods for assessing the costs and benefits of HR programs were available, they were not widely utilized. Strategic alliances between firms are now a ubiquitous phenomenon. Their proliferation has led to a growing stream of research by strategy and organizational scholars who have examined some of the causes and consequences of such partnerships, mostly at the dyadic level. It will develop a social network perspective on some of the key questions associated with strategic alliances, going beyond the dyadic level to the larger network in which alliances are embedded. Over the years, there has been tremendous emphasis placed on HR practitioners becoming strategic business partners and being a value-added source within organizations. Furthermore, the HR function is often viewed as an expense-generator and an administrative function and not as a value-added partner. Businesses have long understood the importance of networking and how it helps them grow their business through referrals.

Income Tax Revenue Elasticities in Spain: Individual and Aggregate Measures

This paper derives analytical expressions for the revenue elasticity of the Spanish personal income tax system, as applied to tax units and in aggregate. This is complicated by the schedular nature of the system, and the role of central and regional governments, along with the existence of a range of tax credits and eligible expenditures and deductions. Empirical estimates are obtained using a cross-sectional dataset which enables a number of important ancillary elasticities (relating to allowances and tax credits, and different income sources) to be estimated. It was found that there is considerable variation among tax units in the revenue elasticity, with highly (positively)skewed distributions. The nature of the distributions varies among regions of Spain, and the aggregate elasticities for each region were found to display some variation associated with income distribution differences. The national aggregate is found to be around 1.3.

Removal of Chromium (VI) from water by using Lanthanum based Hybrid Materials

In various studies it is found that contamination of Chromium (VI) in water posed severe health problems throughout the world. Several methods are available to remove chromium from the aqueous environment but they are not feasible in all places and conditions due to various reasons. Some of the process are electrochemical precipitation, ion exchange, activated carbon adsorption, solvent extraction, reverse osmosis, etc., from contaminated water. The development of low cost adsorbent is essential for the benefit of the common people. In this present work, Cr (VI) has been removed from water by a synthesized Lanthanum based hybrid material as adsorbent. The removal of fluoride was 98.50 % at optimum condition from the synthetic solution having initial Cr(VI) concentration of 100 mg/L The extend of adsorption was investigated as a function of solution pH, contact time, adsorbent concentration, reaction temperature, Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm were used to model the adsorption equilibrium data
