Work-life balance means different things to different people and different things at different stages of life. However, any definition for anyone must include the problems of lack of time and exhaustion. Research indicates that failure to achieve the correct balance of effort and rest is linked to a feeling of lack of control over your workload, plus lack of energy to fulfill personal goals and commitments. If the balance is wrong, the result may include fatigue, poor performance and a poor quality of life. The banking sector has undergone a change over the years, which has put new pressures and realities in front of the bank employees. Banking has changed both in its texture and process significantly in the last few years. They are using the latest technology, which is computer oriented. The orientation has changed from being product-oriented to being customer oriented. Bank Officers have perhaps felt the maximum heat. While the external customers demands better and latest state-of-the-art banking, the internal customers (employees) are burdened with the same working environment and technology to cope up with the competition from the private sector banks. They are giving more targets to the employees for sale of their products. They are putting more pressures on employees towards to reach their goals as well as to meet the tough competition in the present world. Such challenges if not met convincingly, it can lead to frustration, dissatisfaction and improper balances of work life and personal life among the employees with their job. The need for the study is how the employees are balancing their work life and personal life because now a days Jobs have become more complex and employees have been put under pressure to produce quality results in shorter time-frames and with fewer resources that has resulted in a redefinition of normal working hours. If the employees are balancing their work life and personal life through the Job satisfaction, support from the people both in the work life and non-work life.Keywords

Big Bazaar is the brain child of Kishore Biyani and is one of the pioneers in Indian retail industry. It is able to multiply its market share due to good publicity among customers through word of mouth. Many researchers attribute its success to the promotion and discount offers provided continuously through various innovative ways. The objective of my study is to know the role of promotional strategies and their effectiveness to create the attitude of Loyalty among customers at BIG BAZAAR in Andhra Pradesh. Promotion involves providing trial experiences and incentives to customers for increasing sales in future. The strategy of promotions for goods and services is very useful to marketers as compared to other sales promotion policies e.g. advertisements and maintaining a sales force. This strategy can be effective both in the short term or long term. A Survey was conducted on customer attitude towards services provided by Big Bazar and their perceptions on the promotional strategies adopted by the managers. The survey on consumers' perception was done through a questionnaires while strategies of the managers on sales promotion were noted on the basis of actual promotional activities offered by Big Bazar.Keywords

Organized Retail Sector is expanding at a rapid pace in India and it is leading to the phenomenon of Impulse buying by the customers at these stores which is not seen in the previous decade. The purpose of conducting the research is to find the Impact of Effective Visual Merchandising (VM) on the impulse buying behavior of customers at various retail stores in Andhra Pradesh. Objectives: To find the satisfaction attributes of Customers at Organized retail Outlets and how VISUAL MERCHANDIZING is affecting impulse decisions of the customer. Methods/Analysis: In this study we used various questions on life-style attributes and satisfaction with life scale variables for collecting information and tried to study their effect on customer impulse behavior. A survey of 488 retail customers was done and results interpreted in this paper. SPSS 16 was used to implement methods like CHI-SQUARE on the data and correlate the various factors needed. Findings: We provide a comprehensive insight into the various factors that are affecting the impulsiveness of the customer. As the previous research data was not focusing on the phenomenon of Impulse behavior and Visual merchandising, we tried to do depth analysis of the same which will be useful for future researchers.Keywords

The present problem is the steady boundary layer flow and heat transfer of a hyperbolic tangent fluid flowing over a vertical exponentially stretching cylinder in its axial direction with heat source or sink. After applying usual boundary layer with a suitable similarity transformation to the given partial differential equations and the boundary conditions, a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations is obtained. This system of ordinary differential equations subject to the boundary conditions is solved with the help of Runge-Kutta method along shooting technique. The effects of the involved parameters such as Reynolds number, Prandtl number, Weissennberg number, power law index parameter and the natural convention parameter are presented through the graphs. The associated physical properties on the flow and heat transfer characteristics that are the skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented for various parameters.Keywords
