A Study on relationship between income level and branded Milk

The study was designed to investigate the influence of Milk brand dimensions by income level of the respondents. The study covers the population includes 325 consumers from Tamil nadu, who are all using branded milk. The questionnaires were given to 500 consumers who are all using branded milk. Out of 500 consumers contacted, 325 questionnaires were received with required coverage and details. The participants completed the two sets of self-reported questionnaires, including Background characteristics and variables chosen for this study in order to measure the influence of branded milk are the Salience, performance, Imagery, Judgment, Feelings and Resonance. The collected data were computed and analysed via Descriptive statistics and one - way ANOVA.The findings of the study were generalized as follows: Statistically significant differences were found in Income level by the different brand dimensions like Imagery, feelings and there is no statistically significant difference in dimension of Salience, performance and Resonance. In the end of the study implications and conclusion were provided. Keywords: Brand, Milk, Imagery, Salience, feeling

A Study on Factors Affecting Performance of Indian Cement Industry

The study was designed to investigate the performance efficiency in terms of capacity utilization, factor productivity, profit rate and cost effectiveness;In detail the research methodology used for the study that has focused on the past, present and the future performance of Indian Cement Industry (ICI) at the macro level and the Chettinadu Cement Corporation Limited (CCCL) at the micro level as a case firm. The study purely relies on secondary data. The secondary data were collected for a period of fifteen years (1991-92 to 2005-06) from the database maintained and made available by several organizations viz., Cement Manufacturers Association, Export Import Bank of India, Center for Monitoring Indian Economy etc. for the purpose of effective periodical analysis. In order to know the Performance of the industry was evaluated with the help of factors productivity for    labour, energy and other resources aggregated in value. Total factor productivity including the contribution of technology was also studied Financial strength of ICI was analysed with the help of eight financial ratios. Debt-Equity Ratio (DER), Current Ratio (CR), Profit Before Tax (% to sales) (PBT), Profit After Tax (% to sales) (PAT), Dividend (%) (D), Return Over Capital Employed (%) (ROCE), Return Over Net Worth (%) (RONW), Average Profit per Unit (Rs. /t) (AUP).  All these analyses were done to the case firm – CCCL also.In the end of the study implications and conclusion were provided. Keywords: Performance, Cement, Manufacturers, Industry

Domain Representable Spaces Defined by Strictly Positive Induction

Recursive domain equations have natural solutions. In particular there are domains defined by strictly positive induction. The class of countably based domains gives a computability theory for possibly non-countably based topological spaces. A $qcb_{0}$ space is a topological space characterized by its strong representability over domains. In this paper, we study strictly positive inductive definitions for $qcb_{0}$ spaces by means of domain representations, i.e. we show that there exists a canonical fixed point of every strictly positive operation on $qcb_{0}$ spaces.Comment: 48 pages.
