In the future, Internet will be a regular communication vehicle like television, telephone, newspaper and market penetration rate is expected to be much higher. There is hardly any website, commonly called web portal, similar to Yahoo! or MSN which is designed according to the specific need set of Bangladeshi customers. The few local portals are not heavily mass branded yet. First generation internet users are now university level students. Many of them regularly use internet for email, community chats, blogging, news and information. They will enter into career and family life but will be using internet with needs changing. There is a viable opportunity of offering a web portal that will be customized according to the need of these users. Two business models, subscription based and/ or advertisement revenue, also have been suggested.

Research methodology is the section that distinguishes a research paper from a usual narrative or newspaper like essay. Researchers are often prone to jumping into particular methods of data collection instruments, data collection methods, and data analysis methods (questionnaire design, Likert scale, factor analysis etc.). Sometimes they are confused by their evaluators who themselves might not be aware of the implications of different top level choices of the research like research philosophy and paradigms. While it is a convention that researcher has to detail the paradigmatic position the research, many scholars put it in this way: 'management' or 'business' research is often a mixture of these philosophies and approaches. All the positions are appropriate or depending on what the research objectives are. Researchers do not have to make an extreme choice for the sake of making. Rather we need to see what the nature of the problem is and what philosophy would be best to detail the inquiry. And often, it is a mixed approach and multiple methods.

Debates about public-private – similarity, dissimilarity – go on due to ‘isomorphic mimicry’ and ... more Debates about public-private – similarity, dissimilarity – go on due to ‘isomorphic mimicry’ and unexpectedly lower results with management in government or public sector reforms. The fundamental concern about the government globally, is how to make government work better for citizens more effectively, efficiently, and economically, while creating more value for the public. The core objective of this article is to develop a theoretical proposition of the Management in Government (MIG) discourse in a contemporary context by discussing its roots, evolution, and convergence with modern management. To achieve this objective, we comprehensively followed and reviewed the literature focused on the emergence and evolution of 'managerial effectiveness' and 'operational efficiency' through historical analysis. This is important because the quality of reforms in government both in terms of design, implementation, and success, depends largely on this proposition and alignment. If reforms are to work, the theoretical foundation of management in government has to be based on the belief that 'management in government' can be improved, despite debates around the concepts and constructs. So theoretically, it has become imperative that ‘management in government’ is discussed as a functional discipline within management having customized the systems, processes, and mechanism, including people management.

Analyzing the literature, it can be observed that most of the researchers studied the tourist market and the degree of satisfaction of tourists. But job satisfaction as a human resource management concept, in the tourism sector has not been sufficiently investigated. Job satisfaction is particularly important in tourism sector as it is service oriented and people intensive. This study identified the antecedents of job satisfaction in tourism sector and their relative importance to the employees. Methods: The study is quantitative in nature. A number of hypotheses were tested for relationships between job satisfaction and related facets like payment and benefits, advancement and growth, the work itself, leadership, communication, performance feedback and recognition, rewards, colleagues, and employee stress. Data were collected through a survey method and structured questionnaire...

But is business and management education modeled mostly in the North American model or corporate business model, suited for a developing country like Bangladesh, where most of the businesses are small businesses? Who teaches what to whom for whom, using what resources, and following what approaches? Is the need for entrepreneurial and small firms being fulfilled by current business education and management graduates? If not, what to improve? Where to start? This article explores these issues and draws a concrete scenario of business education in a developing country like Bangladesh.  Methods: This is an ethnographic reflection of eighteen years of corporate and academic experience. The author consolidates experiences from 'direct observant participation' including observations coming through continuous interactions with other stakeholders. Thus, the 'going native' syndrome has been minimized through peer validation from bot...

A qualitative research approach, mainly in-depth interview method was applied to gain insights from different government officials of civil defense, police force, and ward councilors of Dhaka and Chattogram City Corporations, who were experienced in working at the field level UDM. The study tried to investigate the challenges faced by the officials during disaster rescue operations with special reference to the role of urban citizens. The findings of the study capture, in detail, the challenges faced by different personnel involved in UDM operations. While citizen engagement is expected to be a positive notion, in most cases, citizens themselves become the main obstacle of disaster management, due to their ignorance, negligence, and lack of patience in the given disastrous and pandemic situation, and thus, ...

On the other hand countries like Bangladesh has a large population seeking work home and abroad anywhere possible. If this population can be trained and exported to these developed country economies, Bangladesh will be benefited in the long run. Exporting trained human resources can be a good business in Bangladesh. Based on the skilled migration criteria, different strategic business units can be formed separately or in an integrated manner. Immigration consulting for those who are readily qualified; English language training to all otherwise qualified and future prospects; HR export facilitation to mediate human resources recruitment for the employers in different states of Australia; Professional study centre to prepare different professionals for respective certifications exams required in Australia. Trade Training Institutes (TTI) can be established to provide specialized trade tra...

T... more : A developing country like Bangladesh cannot guarantee education for all with government fund. There is a huge gap between demand and supply. So private sector participation is essential to increase the reach and effectiveness of education at all levels from primary school to university. Government and civil society agree on this principle. But there is an inconsistency between this generally agreed principle and field based empirical evidence. If one wants to start a new school with intention of providing quality education profitably within the given rules and regulations, he finds that policies are flawed and bureaucracy is long and frustrating. As a consequence, in a high demand and weak regulatory environment, opportunist businessmen rather than good entrepreneurs are the firsts to come in and make quick money from education business. So public has become skeptic about private schools yet helpless because options are few. Media followed public sentiment by generally being very ...

But is business and management education modeled mostly in the North American model or corporate business model, suited for a developing country like Bangladesh, where most of the businesses are small businesses? Who teaches what to whom for whom, using what resources, and following what approaches? Is the need for entrepreneurial and small firms being fulfilled by current business education and management graduates? If not, what to improve? Where to start? This article explores these issues and draws a concrete scenario of business education in a developing country like Bangladesh. Methods: This is an ethnographic reflection of eighteen years of corporate and academic experience. The author consolidates experiences from 'direct observant participation' including observations coming through continuous interactions with other stakeholders. Thus, the 'going native' syndrome has been minimized through peer validation from both industry and academic professionals. Results: Business education has a gap or mismatch in expectation and orientation. Teachers are recruited fresh out of universities without any exposure to the industry. Research and journal articles by faculties are hardly relevant and read by industry practitioners. Textbooks are foreign, mostly North American, or copycat translations. Graduates are blindly taught theories, and examples of multinationals. Business schools are nurturing this corporate blindness without any homegrown exercise or comprehensive local need analysis. So, industry, particularly, huge and varied SME sectors are not getting 'person-job' fit management graduates with realistic orientation. All know some of it for sure but none knows the entirety. So, the paper also made actionable propositions for all stakeholders-who could do what from their respective positions. Implications: Current situation of business education in a developing country like Bangladesh is analyzed in detail. To initiate improvement in a meaningful way, all should have a starting big picture consolidation or situation analysis, on which a broad consensus can be developed, and synergistic progress can be made. This study consolidates that big picture of business and management education in one place, and it can be used one of those

The lessons learned from contemporary urban disasters like fire and the COVID 19 pandemic are recorded elaborately. Based on that, different recommendations are made to ensure the active engagement of citizens to facilitate UDM activities in an orderly manner.

Job satisfaction is particularly important in the tourism sector as it is service-oriented and people-intensive. This study identified the antecedents of job satisfaction in the tourism sector and their relative importance to the employees. Methods: The study is quantitative in nature. Several hypotheses were tested for relationships between job satisfaction and related facets like payment and benefits, advancement and growth, the work itself, leadership, communication, performance feedback and recognition, rewards, colleagues, and employee stress. Data were collected through survey method and structured questionnaires from employees of different tourism-related businesses. With an 81.8% response rate, a total of 409 error-free response sheets containing a total of 38 independent variables were considered for the analysis through Smart PLS 3.01 software. The hypotheses were tested by following the path coefficients of the factors where job satisfaction was the dependent variable. The model of the satisfaction of employees for Bangladesh was established by using the coefficients of relationship with all nine facets and job satisfaction. Results: The standardized regression weights are shown with the nine factors Payment and Benefit (PB),
