The purposes of this study are:(1) to introduce a contingency model forpersonnel grading system by comparing the feature of a qualification systemand a job grading system in companies;(2) to examine these features in fourelectronics makers. The survey shows that the personnel grading system isapplied to employees according to their career stage: those classified into C1 (common employee class) and the first stage of C2 (section chief class) areevaluated based on Qualification System, focusing on their capacity asindividuals; the evaluation of those in the second stage C2 (manager class) andthe first stage of C3 (deputy general manager class) could be based on Job Grading System, where their grade is determined according to the job size.However, the grade of the employees in the second stage of C3 (general managerclass) is determined by comprehensive evaluation of both their individualcapacity and their job size.

This empirical study focuses on Japanese manufacturing, which established new entities in the manufacturing sector in the European Union. We are focusing on the choice of the MNE's between taking full ownership of their affiliate, and sharing it with another firm. The paper aims at providing furtherempirical evidence on the influence of some key variables in explaining it. Our results provide initial support for using a model which includes institutional and cultural variables, as well as transaction cost variables to predict firms' choices between joint venture and wholly owned subsidiaries in international expansion. Our findings also suggest that some host country's influence may act as a modifying or moderating variable in the diversification mode choice.
The core of the present study is to examine the attitude of consumers towards the brand of Color Television (CTV) in Bangladesh based on the Mertin Fishbein's Multiattribute Attitude Model. Some important attributes that affect the brand's choice behavior of CTV have identified where consumers give special emphasis. Total 8 brands out of 24 and ten attributes out of 29 have been taken for the convenience of the study. It reveals from the study that Samsung bears highest and National bears lowest brand image among the selected brands to the consumers. Means differences of different attributes for different brands are measured through ANOVA for test of significance. The Duncan's Multiple Range Test has been applied for assessing and comparing different mean values and find out the range from one to another. Outcomes of the paper may be used as an index by the CTV manufacturing companies for improvement of their product and formulating marketing strategies as well.
