16,000 km, 10 Gbits-1 soliton transmission over standard fibre by reduction of interactions through optimum amplifier positioning

We show that by optimizing the amplifier position in a two-stage dispersion map, the (dispersion-managed) soliton-soliton interaction can be reduced, enabling transmission of 10-Gbits-1 solitons over standard fiber over 16,000 km

HRM systems, internal marketing and performance in Indian call centres:full research report ESRC end of award report, RES-000-22-1876

Considering the rapid growth of call centres (CCs) in India, its implications for businesses in the UK and a scarcity of research on human resource management (HRM) related issues in Indian CCs, this research has two main aims. First, to highlight the nature of HRM systems relevant to Indian call centres. Second, to understand the significance of internal marketing (IM) in influencing the frontline employees’ job-related attitudes and performance. Rewards being an important component of IM, the relationships between different types of rewards as part of an IM strategy, attitudes and performance of employees in Indian CCs will also be examined. Further, the research will investigate which type of commitment mediates the link between rewards and performance and why. The data collection will be via two phases. The first phase would involve a series of in-depth interviews with both the managers and employees to understand the functioning of CCs, and development of suitable HRM systems for the Indian context. The second phase would involve data collection through questionnaires distributed to the frontline employees and supervisors to examine the relationships among IM, employee attitudes and performance. Such an investigation is expected to contribute to development of better theory and practice.

Studienplatz £9.000 im Jahr:Zur Bildungsfinanzierung in Großbritannien

Das Hochschulsystem Großbritanniens ist in den vergangenen Jahren massiv umgestaltet worden - gerade auch mit Blick auf die Studienfinanzierung. Anneliese Dodds und Ed Turner untersuchen die Etappen dieser Veränderungen von den 1970ern bis zu den 1990er Jahren, von 1997 bis 2010 und seit 2010.
