Insight Into

A productive investment climate is key to the growth of any developing country. Given the limited literature and importance of economic zone in attracting FDI, this paper conducts a study on the Export Processing Zone to provide an insight into the investment climate factors and its association with firms' performance. A total of 30 firms were chosen from the garment industry, in particular from the EPZ of Bangladesh. Findings reveal that all six factors were considered as important indicators affecting investment climate of EPZ firms. Moreover, five factors were found to be significantly associated with the firm performance. An important implication of the findings is that government and garment associations can get an important insights into the factors that are critical to the investment climate and accordingly take necessary steps to arrange better utilities provide sound governance, improve credit facilities, ensure a favorable trade union together with other infrastructural facilities that require for creating better investment climate for both the EPZ and non-EPZ firms.

Consumer behaviour studies have taken a new turn. Marketers, economists and other consumer related disciplines are looking to science to accurately determine consumer behaviour. The purpose of this chapter is to provide insight into a burgeoning field of study, neuromarketing, documenting various research studies and applications of mechanisms in determining brain activities and other uses of science to benefit marketing research. Data for the study is derived from impartial cross-referencing of conceptual and empirical articles published in major journals. The application of neuroimaging technique in research have provided marketers with concrete evidence of brain activation that signal increased activities during stimulation (Lewis & Bridger, 2005; Rossiter et al., 2001). Further, the implication and causes of concern in using neuroscience methods in marketing are highlighted. Developing country studies on neuromarketing are examined to determine its application and use as a marketing research tool.

Abstract Professor Herbert R. Lissner was a pioneer in impact biomechanics, having initiated research on the injury mechanisms, mechanical response, and human tolerance of the human brain to blunt impact 80 years ago—in 1939. This paper summarizes the contributions made by Professor Lissner in head injury as well as in the many areas of impact biomechanics in which he was involved. In 1977, the Bioengineering Division of ASME established the H. R. Lissner Award to recognize outstanding career achievements in the area of biomechanics. In 1987, this award was converted to a society-wide Medal, and to date it has been awarded to 44 exemplary researchers and educators. The lead author of this paper was Professor Lissner's first and only Ph.D. student, and he offers a unique insight into his research and contributions.

The paper presents an attempt to provide an assessment of innovativeness of the Botswana public sector and how its impacts on the overall business performance. To accomplish the study aims, a survey of a selected public sector organisation was carried out to gather information on the innovativeness and the impacts thereof on the overall performance of the sector. The hypotheses were tested using multivariate statistics. The study reveals that product and customer satisfaction are good predictors of innovativeness of organisation and have impact on the overall business performance. The other remaining variables did not indicate significance on the innovativeness and impacts on the selected public organisation’s overall business performance. The present study’s limitation is the focus on one public sector organisation. However, the study provides an insight into the innovativeness of Botswana’s public sector and the impacts on the selected public sector’s overall business performance. In addition, the study offers some recommendation on how the organisation can make use of the remaining variables to enhance its innovativeness. The study offers prima facie case of public sector innovativeness from a developing country, where little is known about innovation capabilities of the sector. Furthermore, the paper provides a more generalised, products and customer satisfaction as predictors of organisation innovativeness.

Insight Into

In the aftermath of tragic campus-based incidents causing injury and death, it has become common to see discussions concerning the safety measures institutions should be taking to prevent or mitigate the harm of such events. The recommended approaches reflect a degree of face validity but largely lack empirical grounding or clear evidence of support from the largest population they seek to protect—college students. Using survey data from six Illinois colleges, this study examines the level of student support for campus safety practices. Applying a framework derived from literature on fear of crime and other salient concepts, multivariate modeling is used to explain variation in the observed level of student support. The explanatory models offer limited insight into the factors shaping why students do or do not support campus safety practices. The findings demonstrate the importance of considering the views of students when institutions make decisions about campus safety policies.

Neuromarketing is providing the leverage for marketers to delve into consumers' subconscious minds to determine behavior. Marketers, economists, and other consumer-related disciplines are looking to science to accurately determine consumer behavior.
