Improvement Project of Science Construction CS

Abstract Science Construction’s business is in planning, developing and building road projects. The major of its clients are municipalities, city governments, and other public sector entities. While the bankruptcy rates for these clients is very low, when economic downturns happen, their ability to pay in a timely fashion also suffers. This leads to businesses such as Science Construction needing to take on additional debt and to find creative methods in order to stay afloat during times of recession. Methods such as selling accounts receivables at discounted rates and taking larger lines of credit through banks and other lending institutions are some of the ways organizations can remain viable when their cash inflows have turned into a trickle. Science Construction is asking the Turkish Courts to postpone their bankruptcy proceedings for a year while they attempt to restructure. Through this, suggestions such as forcing shareholders to pay their debt to the organization, gaining credi...

How to handle employees better?

It is well accepted that knowledge and information have become new organizational resources and asset. Determination of the deep changes in the behavior of the individual teams and organizations, these assets has been used to reach sustainable standards of the development growth. Lopes I Martins M and Nunes M (2005)
The workplace keeping changing every day and most work environments are steadily pushing managers to revisit their skill sets decades ago if they are to survive in the knowledge economy era. Managers with an effective mindset need to embrace the following skills as a prerequisite for enhancing a successful organization or business.
Advertisement Approach
At the start of the prior decade, Google barely existed and well-known strategists dismissed Internet advertising models (Porter,2001). Managers have recognized the need to expand their communications efforts to incorporate all stakeholders, not only end-users. The marketing literature has begun to address stakeholder theory, as well as advertising's indirect and internal audiences with the aim to gain a larger market share.
Remote work (Working from home)
Managers need to abandon one-size-fits-all expectations for their employees. Instead of commuting to an office each day to work from a designated desk, remote employees can execute their projects and surpass their goals wherever they please. People have the flexibility to design their days so that their professional and personal lives can be experienced to their fullest potential and coexist peacefully. For instance, a working mother might ask to work remotely a few days each week in order to take care of her young children. Showing a genuine openness toward helping your team members balance their work and their lives demonstrates they have their best interests in mind. It can cultivate loyalty and keep lines of communication strong–both crucial things in an era of job hoping  and remote collaboration. Barry S. Saltzman (2016)
Executive Presence
Executive presence is a relatively new leadership concept. This is associated with CXOs as well as their direct reports. Executive presence is more than charisma, it shows up in how mangers trust and are trusted, how leaders communicate, how leaders develop strategy, and how managers carry themselves under pressure. Managers must be willing to incorporate the recent styles of leadership in order to enhance effective collaboration in the workplace. Leslie Mizerak (2019) propounded that executive presence can be developed through thoughtful and actionable development. 
Co-Creative Leadership
In today’s business environment where intellectual properties, creativity and innovation are real competitive advantage, the emphases on qualities of human interaction have never been greater. Managers must know how to co-create with their employees. They should engage their team members and ready to empower them and be in a position to create a change with them instead of for them. The trouble most managers faced is they do not take time to experience the growing pains associated with learning to collaborate. Co-creative leaders get engaged teams and better results are earned. 
Encourage Diversity
Friedman & Amoo (2002) provide numerous reasons why companies that wish to thrive in our multicultural, managers have to be serious about handling diversity. Of course, the key reason is that it is immoral and often illegal to discriminate against people. Assert that there is a strong correlation between diversity and high-technology growth.

Unfriendly Indian TV Channels

  Watching TV serials in the evening; is most favourite pass-time perhaps all over the world. When TV was yet to become household source of entertainment here (India) ; we heard about soap-operas becoming popular;  where Television permeated the drawing rooms. Obviously they were popular in foreign lands. We used to hear of them from various magazines. I still remember Kabir Bedi, becoming popular with Italian TV and audiences. Do you know long before we became familiar with TV; Pakistan had matured TV channels. I remember watching Lahore TV; sitting at UN camps in Indo-Pak border areas. In early 70s of last century; I watched quiz shows produced by Polka Ice-cream and that was quite popular show of Lahore TV. It took decades to present such programs here in India. However during the early days of  Durodarshan; ‘Humlog’  the unending serial ruled the roost for long. Then came a period when Durdharshan produced few best serials like ‘Buniyad’, ‘Tamash’ and many more....

CHITTARANJAN IN 50s

Hi, Everybody, sometime some of you keep me asking about my days and time at Chittaranjan. This is natural, after all there are gaps of decades between most of you and me ! This has prompted me with an idea of writing this to share my old good days with those of you who are interested. Indian Railway under the British colonial rule was another group of companies with different British Managements. Since the different railway networks under all of them were used mutually for their own benefits. At places, different railway companies had the facilities of repairing and maintenance of their locomotives and passenger and goods carriages. To name a few, like Anda, Adra, Howrah, Liluah, Mughal sarai, Jhajha , these are they places I mention since they are quite closed by our loving Chittaranjan. The locomotives were imported from Manchester, England and few from Canada and Australia , all under the Union Jack. A good number of railway operational staffs were anglo Indians,...
