Power Generation, Employee And Societal Well-Being

This research was conducted to explore the employees’ perceptions of clean coal technology (CCT) and the effect of CCT on the state-owned electricity supplier in South Africa (Eskom) and society. A sample of 125 employees from Eskom were surveyed using Google Forms. It was found that CCT is acceptable, appropriate and feasible for Eskom and the effects of CCT on Eskom were found to be positive, although statistically insignificant. The results further suggest that CCT has a negligible relationship with society and the environment, except for general health. The relationship between CCT and corporate governance and CCT and social responsibility was also not significant.  Thus, it became apparent that the implementation of CCT will improve the general health of people who are affected by emissions from coal-fired power plants and will support the South African government’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions. However, the feasibility of implementing CCT requires more comprehensive research among different stakeholders using reliable indicators of the effects of CCT on Eskom and society at large

The management of working capital in non-profit organizations.

Thesis (MBA)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2004.This report aims primarily at analyzing working capital management in non-profit organizations. Since most non-profit organizations experience financial difficulty in the short-term, an evaluation is conducted with regard to the components that make up working capital. Five organizations were analyzed, in order to identify if these problems are uniform, cyclical or unrelated occurrences. To prevent inconsistencies the organizations that were analyzed operate in similar environments and provide similar services. This study was prompted by the ever-changing economic conditions in the country and the effect that they have on non-profit organizations' survival. Based on this, a short-term financial perspective was undertaken and the effects of working capital management were analyzed. This was further elaborated by the fact that non-profit organizations are finding it difficult to bridge the discrepancies between revenue and expenditure, which was substantiated by Braswel et. al, (1984). A case study methodology approach was adopted which identified financial theory as a base; thereafter, an analysis was conducted of the organizations' financial statements. Once this was completed, a survey was undertaken with all financial decision-makers. Thereafter, an interview was conducted with financial managers to establish the effective management of working capital. Based on these methods, conclusions were drawn and recommendations made, so that corrective action could be taken to eliminate or reduce the recurrence of these problems. The aim of this study is to provide non-profit organizations with greater understanding of financial planning models and techniques, which would aid them in their management of working capital

Dealing with Gender Bias inside Bangladeshi Classrooms -An Overview of Teachers

Abstract In this paper, the author investigates to what extent the English language teachers in different private universities in Bangladesh are aware of gender bias, how it influences their teaching and how they react and respond to it. To find answers to these questions, a questionnaire was used to be completed by teachers from different private universities in Bangladesh. Question papers designed by a few teachers were studied, some classes were observed and a few teachers were interviewed. The findings are discussed in the paper and, consequently, some suggestions are also made. The findings show that the Bangladeshi private university teachers are not much aware of gender bias; more initiatives should be taken to make them cognizant of it
