In fact with a growing economy, improving income dynamics, rising awareness, India is well on its way to become one of the most prospective markets for the domestic and global retailers, as according to AT Kearney, the well-known international management consultancy, India is identified as one of the most attractive countries for retail business. FDI has opportunities and threats for retail business in all countries and government of India has tried to decrease the negative aspects of FDI by establishing policies in this field. This study is based on secondary data and review of related literature, and tries to brighten the retail business, FDI in retail business and related challenges and opportunities in India

IMPLEMENTATION OF ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING (ERP) AT KAKA HALWAI SWEET CENTRE, PUNE - A SMART CITY INITIATIVE

A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate information through Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions in a secure fashion to manage a city’s assets – the city’s assets include, but not limited to, local departments information systems, schools, libraries, transportation systems, hospitals, power plants, water supply networks, waste management, law enforcement, and other community services. The goal of building a smart city is to improve quality of life by using technology to improve the efficiency of services and meet residents’ needs.  This paper discusses issues concerning the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software specifically at Kaka Halwai Sweet Centre, Pune. The paper looks at various examples of implementation and identifies several common traits that are present amongst all successful attempts. For any ERP implementation, a business needs to conduct a thorough analysis of its own core operations. This process helps the company to prioritize areas for improvement as well as determining what the ERP should be used for. A risk assessment is then made surrounding the ERP. If the benefits of implementation outweigh the cost, the next step of the implementation cycles should be preceded. Realistic benchmarks and achievable goals need to be clearly defined and discussed with the management. The progress and budget of the ERP project should be closely monitored. Often failing implementation examples have shown us that project teams lose focus and go off in tangent. It is then management’s responsibility to disregard the sunk costs and assess whether the project should be continue. Lastly, other factors such as post implementation issues and involvement of external parties are the major concern in ERP implementation as an initiative of smart city

STUDY OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR) VISION AND POLICY (with special reference to Reliance Industries Ltd.)

The impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) ratings has grown exponentially in the last decade.  Nevertheless,  there  remains  a  extended  debate  about  the  acceptability  and  value of corporate responses to CSR concerns. There are different views of the role of the firm  in  society  and disagreement  as  to  whether  wealth  maximization  should  be  the  sole  goal  of  a  corporation.    An  increasing  number  of  shareholders,  analysts,  regulators,  activists,  labor  unions, employees,  community  organizations,  and  news  media  are  asking  companies  to  be  accountable  for  an  ever-changing  set  of  CSR  issues.  There is increasing demand for transparency   and   growing   expectations   that   corporations   measure,   report,   and   continuously improve their social, environmental, and economic performance.  Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) is India's largest private sector enterprise withBusinesses across the energy and materials value chain and a strong presence in the rapidly expanding retail, telecommunications and media sectors.This study depicts to RIL's diverse projects and operations touch lives of people in many ways and create value by helping in overall and holistic development of communities across multiple geographies. Through its various initiatives, the group endeavors to play a relevant role by serving communities and projects that address gaps in basic societal requirements

Economic Analysis of Traditional and Sri Method of Paddy Cultivation

The conventional paddy growing tracts are in worst crisis due to social, biological and technical setbacks. Well acclaimed rice bowls in several part of the nation is facing a decline in area, production and productivity. In India, there is a growing demand for rice due to ever escalating population. Rice is consumed both in urban and rural area and its consumption is growing due to high-income elasticity of demand. To meet the growing demand, a rapid income in paddy production is needed. But there is little scope to increase the area; hence increase in production and productivity with an improvement in efficiency of production to act as a technological breakthrough to meet the growing demand

FDI IN RETAIL SECTOR IN INDIA: ITS OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

For the economic development of a nation efficient retailing network is crucial one. Retail industry will grow manifold in the next few years and FDI will only give it a boost. Since 2000 government has provided favorable ground for growth of organized retailing in India through its supportive policies. Within a decade the scenario of organised retailing sector has changed taking a flight to 5% and further expected to maintain higher pace. Till now retail growth in India has been achieved primarily due to rising consumerism and initiatives in the private sector. However, while retailing currently remains closed to FDI, this is an area of ongoing debate. The paper describes the Indian Retailing and its present position. The paper further discusses the FDI in single brand retailing and multi Brand Retailing and opportunities, threats and challenges to FDI in Retailing in India

Speed limits for quantum gates in multi-qubit systems

We use analytical and numerical calculations to obtain speed limits for various unitary quantum operations in multiqubit systems under typical experimental conditions. The operations that we consider include single-, two-, and three-qubit gates, as well as quantum-state transfer in a chain of qubits. We find in particular that simple methods for implementing two-qubit gates generally provide the fastest possible implementations of these gates. We also find that the three-qubit Toffoli gate time varies greatly depending on the type of interactions and the system's geometry, taking only slightly longer than a two-qubit controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate for a triangle geometry. The speed limit for quantum-state transfer across a qubit chain is set by the maximum spin-wave speed in the chain.Comment: 7 pages (two-column), 2 figures, 2 table

A short proof of the G\"ottsche conjecture

We prove that for a sufficiently ample line bundle $L$ on a surface $S$, the number of $\delta$-nodal curves in a general $\delta$-dimensional linear system is given by a universal polynomial of degree $\delta$ in the four numbers $L^2,\,L.K_S,\,K_S^2$ and $c_2(S)$. The technique is a study of Hilbert schemes of points on curves on a surface, using the BPS calculus of [PT3] and the computation of tautological integrals on Hilbert schemes by Ellingsrud, G\"ottsche and Lehn. We are also able to weaken the ampleness required, from G\"ottsche's $(5\delta-1)$-very ample to $\delta$-very ample.Comment: 8 pages. Published versio

Effect of Nanofluids on Heat Pipe Thermal Performance: A Review of the Recent Literature

Normally conventional fluids are used in heat pipes to remove the heat based on a temperature range for its particular operating conditions [1] (see Fig.2). The addition of the nano particles to the base fluid is one of the significant issues to enhance the heat transfer of heat pipes. The purpose of this review is to summarize the research done on heat pipes using nanofluids as working fluids in recent years (2012 to 2013). This review article provides additional information for the design of heat pipes with optimum conditions regarding the heat transfer characteristics of nanofluids in heat pipes. Moreover, this paper identifies several important issues that should be considered further in future works

Reversible Logic Circuit Synthesis

Reversible or information-lossless circuits have applications in digital signal processing, communication, computer graphics and cryptography. They are also a fundamental requirement in the emerging field of quantum computation. We investigate the synthesis of reversible circuits that employ a minimum number of gates and contain no redundant input-output line-pairs (temporary storage channels). We prove constructively that every even permutation can be implemented without temporary storage using NOT, CNOT and TOFFOLI gates. We describe an algorithm for the synthesis of optimal circuits and study the reversible functions on three wires, reporting distributions of circuit sizes. We study circuit decompositions of reversible circuits where gates of the same type are next to each other. Finally, in an application important to quantum computing, we synthesize oracle circuits for Grover's search algorithm, and show a significant improvement over a previously proposed synthesis algorithm.Comment: 30 pages, 14 figs+tables.
