This paper tries to focus on environmental impact and the demographic phenomenon of tourism. Bangladesh is now on the highway to achieve the Sustainable development goals by 2030 after fulfilling significant achievement of Millennium Development Goals. The government has made some ambitious targets to achieve Sustainable Development Goals. It is important to note that sustainable development comprises several criteria. There is a significant need for environmental protection which is one of the three pillars of sustainable development. The other two are economic growth and social progress. Tourism and hospitality sector is seen to have emerged as a new area of sustainable development in recent time to contribute to social development. The scope of the positive contribution of tourism and hospitality is ample and relates to several dimensions such as earning of foreign exchange, employment generation, increasing productivity, hotel accommodation and transportation etc. However, the recent studies reveal that tourism has dramatically affected social, cultural, economic and environmental aspects of hospitality.
The banking sector becoming a very much competitive sector in Bangladesh. Day by day this competition is
increasing. At present, there are 6 government commercial banks, 43 private commercial banks, 9 foreign banks,
and 3 state-owned specialized banks are operating in Bangladesh. This research study is mainly conducted to
find out the impact of customer perception on government commercial banks' positioning. The researcher tried to
find out what customers think, what customers want from the government commercial banks, what must be
changed to retain existing customers and attracting new customers, what services must be added comparatively
to the private commercial banks and providing some recommendations are the main objectives of this research
study. Here the researcher conducts a research survey over 100 respondents who are customers of government
commercial banks for collecting primary data. The researcher also collects secondary data from different
websites, books, and journals, and research papers. SPSS has been used for analyzing collected data for
descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, hypothesis testing, and other general analysis. From the research study,
it has found that customers are not happy with employee's behavior, ATM services of government commercial
banks, number of ATM booths. They want more promotional advertisements from government commercial
banks, more professionalism from the employees of government commercial banks, more simplicity in account
opening and loan getting procedure. The researcher has found that customers have faith and believe in
government commercial banks but as most of the time they do not get quick services from the government
commercial bank so negative positioning is creating in consumer minds that will not be good for government
commercial banks in the long run for their positioning as well as for their profitability.
Unemployment problem in Bangladesh is considered as one of the major obstacle for development and
highly educated unemployed population is growing every year. Market experts are indicating that lack
of skills of the graduates is causing such scenario while academicians and employers are having
separate preferences over employment skills. According to this study, twenty fundamental employment
skills are selected and both academicians’ & employers’ opinions are measured by ranking the skills
according to their preferences. Three scales are created and university graduates’ skills are measured by
each scale. After the skill measurement analysis, it’s found that the academician’ and employers’ skill
preferences have no significant differences. So, the employers’ demand for skills is not causing the
high number of educated unemployed graduates. As the academicians’ skill preferences is not much
different than the employers’, the problem may lies in the curriculum of the universities.
Nowadays, recommendation systems are crucial in e-commerce. They deliver timely and relevant product suggestions to users. A well-crafted recommendation system can increase sales and create value for both buyers and sellers. In this research, we examine a large dataset containing sales data, product information, and customer contacts to gather statistical insights. We then introduce a collaborative filtering approach enhanced with data based on recency. Exploratory data analysis (EDA) techniques help identify relationships among variables, using key statistical tools and measures. To better understand consumer behavior, we generate grouped statistics such as purchasing trends by product category and customer age. The results of this research support the development of a collaborative filtering recommendation engine that incorporates recency weighting to improve product suggestions for online retail platforms.
Inclusive leadership involves actively fostering an environment where every employee feels valued and integral to the organization’s targets. This study aims to illustrate the positive impact of inclusive leadership practices on generating enhanced organizational performance, fostering a positive organizational culture, and improving employee engagement and job satisfaction. By quantitatively examining the impact of inclusive leadership, the study provides actionable insights for organizations pursuing sustainable growth. A survey was conducted using a five-point Likert scale to evaluate leadership inclusiveness and its related outcomes. Using data from 100 employees, a Structural Equation Model (SEM) was developed and analyzed with SmartPLS 4 to examine the relationships between inclusive leadership and organizational outcomes. The study shows that inclusive leadership significantly boosts organizational performance by positively impacting key areas like organizational culture, employee engagement, and job satisfaction. The findings highlight that effective inclusive leadership not only improves individual employee experiences but also contributes to overall organizational success. Based on these findings, organizations are advised to invest in inclusive leadership development programs and implement practices that ensure fair opportunities for all employees.
