This dissertation examines the factors that influence employee uptake of flexible working arrangements. Through a case study of JT, a telecommunications company, the author conducted a survey of JT employees to understand the types of flexible working used, how arrangements are authorized, and employee perceptions of benefits and barriers. The study found that perceived barriers are a significant factor influencing uptake, and that challenges to these perceptions, tailored arrangements, and support through technology and training could help improve uptake of flexible working policies. The dissertation makes recommendations for organizations seeking to increase the value derived from flexible working.

Consumer electronics and office equipment companies must react quickly to volatile supply and demand conditions. Rapid changes in technology compress product lifecycles. Many products last less than a year, with production cycles of only three months. Consumers have their pick of a large variety of new and existing products that are being aggres- sively marketed. It’s difficult to predict what they will choose to buy. Frequent retailer and manufacturer promotions disrupt buying patterns and put downward pressure on prices. Poor forecast accuracy can lead to excess inventory or write-offs. Or it can lead to stock-outs, resulting in lost sales and poor customer service. Adding to the uncertainty is accelerating growth in the Asia-Pacific region. This growth extends and strains supply chains, which can affect delivery reliability and increase risks.
To achieve success in this kind of environment, all members of the supply chain need visibility into current and future events, along with the means to work together to solve problems and deal with delivery constraints as they arise. Therefore, it’s not surprising that retailers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have been cooperating for years on programs such as vendor-managed inventory (VMI) and Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). l

Evading Customer Benefits - Irony of CRM Applications in Nigeria Mobile TelecomsMshittu
The objective of the research work is to understand the reasons why implementation of customer relationship management (CRM) applications in Nigeria’s telecoms industry did not translate to better benefits for organisations and their customers. This is with the view that only clear understanding of the problem can lead to practical solutions. Motivation for this dissertation is the negative customer perception of telecoms companies in Nigeria despite the huge investment in CRM applications which are supposedly implemented to create a positive customer impact. The research therefore sought to understand the priority objectives for implementing CRM applications, the effectiveness of the application supporting structure and the extent of benefits realisation from the implementation of the applications. This is with the theoretical believe that with the right objective, effective supporting structure, periodic benefits measurement and implementation of corrective actions, organisations can realise better benefits from the implementation of CRM applications.
The research collected experience-based data from the employees of the mobile telecoms operators in Nigeria via online questionnaire and analysed the data using frequency distribution. Based on the analysis, meeting customers’ needs is the priority objective for implementing CRM applications in Nigeria’s mobile telecoms industry while revenue improvement and cost reduction are respectively the second and third objectives. The research also found CRM application supporting structures such as customer vision, communication mechanisms, change management, system integration, personnel training and data processing to be relatively effective in achieving the CRM applications’ objectives. However, the research concludes that improvement areas identified in order of criticality as CRM supporting processes, data storage and mining, and CRM vision and strategy, need to be addressed by the mobile telecoms operators in Nigeria to ensure realisation of better benefits from the implementation of CRM applications.
The findings above present a clear understanding that the non-realisation of customer benefits from CRM applications is not necessarily due to the lack of customer objectives for implementing the applications. Another theoretical and practical implication is that the CRM Implementation Index (Chinje 2013) validated in the research can now be used at the pre and post implementation stages of CRM applications to minimise the evasiveness of customer benefits in the implementation of CRM applications in Nigeria’s telecoms industry and beyond.

Experimental results show the proposed policy increases overall system lifetime by 20% on average.
Microsoft PowerPoint - WirelessCluster_PresVideoguy
This document analyzes delays in unicast video streaming over IEEE 802.11 WLAN networks. It describes conducting an experiment using a testbed with a Darwin Streaming Server and WLAN probe to capture packets. The analysis found that video bitrate variations, packetization scheme, bandwidth load, and frame-based nature of video all impacted mean delay. Bursts of packets from video frames caused per-packet delay to increase in a sawtooth pattern. Increasing uplink load was also found to affect delay variations.
Proxy Cache Management for Fine-Grained Scalable Video StreamingVideoguy
This document proposes a novel video caching framework that uses MPEG-4 Fine-Grained Scalable (FGS) video with post-encoding rate control to achieve low-cost and fine-grained rate adaptation. The framework allows clients to have heterogeneous bandwidths and enables adaptive control of backbone bandwidth consumption. It examines issues in caching FGS videos, such as determining the optimal portion to cache (in terms of length and rate) and optimal streaming rate to clients. Simulation results show it significantly reduces transmission costs compared to non-adaptive caching while providing flexible utility to heterogeneous clients with low computational overhead.
