    FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED AIR TRANSPORT, WATER TRANSPORT AND ROAD TRANSPORT COMPANIES
    (European Journal of Commerce and Management Research, 2015-02) RajaRajeswari M
    In modern world, transport along with energy is the basic infrastructural requirement for industrialization. The developing countries have accorded it an important place in their programmes of economic development. Transport provides a vital link between production centres, distribution areas and the ultimate consumers. It also exercises a unifying and integrating influence upon the economy. Important means of transport are railways, roads, water transport (both inland and overseas) and air transport. Transportation, like all industries is largely influenced by information and communication technologies with the focus being on knowledge of customer needs and value added services. Surface transport is provided by the Road and the Indian Seaways (primarily for carrying low value bulk commodity, mostly for the government sector). Cargo Road Transport is entirely in the hands of the private sector. An estimated 1.2 million trucks (9 tons capacity) crisscross the country covering more than 80,000 kilometers of roads. In India road transportation is preferred for cargo movement, where flexibility of routing assumes importance. It facilitates door-to-door delivery, overcoming unnecessary delays which normally take place in the other modes of transportation.

    FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF SELECTED AIR TRANSPORT COMPANIES IN INDIA
    (Journal of Global Economy, Research Centre for Social Sciences, 2010-10-31) RajaRajeswari M
    Air transport is the most modern, the quickest and the latest addition to the modes of transport. Because of speed with which aeroplanes can fly, travel by air is becoming increasingly popular. As far as the world trade is concerned it is still dominated by sea transport because air transport is very expensive and is also unsuitable for carrying heavy, bulky goods. However, transportation of high value light goods and perishable goods is increasingly being done by air transport. The financial health of companies declined despite liberal Government patronage, particularly from 1949, and an upward trend in air cargo and passenger traffic. The trend, however, was not in keeping with the expectations of these airlines which had gone on an expansion spree during the post-World War II period, acquiring aircraft ad spares. The Government set up the Air Traffic Enquiry Committee in 1950 to look into the problems of the airline. Though the Committee found no justification for nationalization of airlines, it favored their voluntary merger. Such a merger, however, was not welcomed by the airlines.

    IDENTITY THEFTS AND ONLINE FRAUDS IN INTERNET
    (Nehru Journal of Management and Research, 2016-11) Rajarajeswari M
    The importance of identity can raise a series of scholarly discussions across disciplines. Decades ago, Erikson (1980) pointed out that the formation of identity is essential to individuals‘ development, especially during the period of adolescence. The term identity refers to the unique and stable characteristics associated with an individual, and the aspect of self is based upon the interior state of awareness. However, it is argued that the culture shaped by the modern information media alleviates the term from consciousness and associates with the body (Poster, 2006). The view introduced in the following sections probably evidences the shift. Admittedly, this perspective of identifying individuals may discard the psychological portion of identity but reflects an emerged culture in the digital era.

    (GIM Journal of Management, 2012-07) Rajarajeswari M
    The practice of tapping a crowd has long been used by business. For example, in 1916, Planters Peanuts held an open contest to develop its logo. What’s new about crowdsourcing today is how it uses web 2.0 technology to rapidly and affordably reach a global crowd, engage their interest, manage and filter their ideas and feedback, and help choose the optimal scenarios to act upon. The most advanced crowdsourcing technology uses sophisticated algorithms based on deep knowledge of human behavior, and equips companies, organizations and governments with the ability to distill crowd input down to not just “what’s most popular” but what are really the most economically-viable and probable ideas to succeed. It’s not unusual for the contribution of a crowd to be worth millions to a company. This article, defines crowdsourcing and its effect to business. It also proposes to study trends in crowdsourcing, massive volunteer projects, crowd control mechanisms, new user study methodologies, and interactive systems powered by crowds.
