The present study analyses the impact of WTO on rice export competitiveness by using Blassa's Revealed Comparative Advantage Index and White's Revealed Competitive Advantage Index in respect of Agricultural Trade and Merchandise Trade in the changing scenario of liberalization, privatization and globalization. A new technique has also been developed for the measurement of competitiveness ranking on the basis of the dictum that competitiveness is a zero sum game. The study concludes that the increasing competitiveness of Indian and Pakistani rice exports is a result of WTO implementation.

This study is based on the sample correlations arrived at by different studies. Though a number of studies indicate that there is weak or no relationship between training and productivity, the present meta-analysis indicates that the training provided to employees does have a significant effect on productivity. The present study finds that there is a moderate (mean) relationship between training and productivity of employees. Training affects productivity across-the-board i. e. for top-level managers, medium level managers and bottom-line employees. However, certain moderator variables e.g. citizenship of the sample may influence the magnitude of the effect of training on the productivity.- Emotional Intelligence & Job Performance in Banking & Insurance Sector in India
