The TOE framework seeks to understand the significant factors influencing the decision to adopt social media in SMEs in Bangladesh. Research methodology: In the study, a random sampling method was used to select a representative sample from the existing active SMEs in different regions of Bangladesh. A structured questionnaire was designed to measure constructs such as relative advantage. Preliminary data were collected from 365 small and medium enterprises through field studies. Then the survey data were analyzed using logistic regression (L.R.) of the independent variables included in the TOE framework Results: The outcomes of the study found that only 5 variables: relative advantage, complexity, consiste...

Study contains sector wise analysis on these variables using mean, standard deviation, correlation and multivariate regression techniques for making and drawing a conclusion. Reactions of the stock price as the consequence of the movement of the micro and macroeconomic factors is strongly supported by the literature review. We have taken only three earning potential ratios to test the impact on market price of stock. Multiple regression analysis is conducted to find out the relationship among different variables with the stock price per share. In this study an insignificant linear relationship among market price and such factors like EPS, NAVPs and ROCE of pharmaceutical and chemical industries are found at 95 percent level of significance.

The new results are derived from Ordinary Least Square (OLS) methods, 2 Stage Least Sqaure (2SLS) and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). There is evidence that the risk premium is positively and the value effects are negatively related to the ETF returns whereas the other factors are not statistically significant. The 2SLS and GMM approach suggest that it is difficult to find a general relationship between ETFs returns and macro risk factors.

The term third gender has a broad meaning. The third gender is basically what we mean by those whose gender identity or gender expression implies something different from the gender they received after puberty. The social life of third gender and his true sexual identity is the story of a life of continuous struggle. The social system of Bangladesh is changing. As well as changing the social status of the third gender in the society. In today’s society, eligibility for third gender has increased. The Hijra community is now becoming a part of our society.

This paper attempts to outline the socio-economic status of the Hijra people in Bangladesh as well as the steps taken by the government for the Hijra community. To make this task a success, a quantitative method was chosen; specifica...

Especially in a middleincome country like ours where the population is high but the opportunities for creating new jobs are far less. In this case, the SME industry offers maximum employment opportunities for the local people and helps to increase the quality of life. But at present, small and medium enterprises of Bangladesh are facing many challenges. This paper analyzes various aspects of the SME sector, especially the benefits and challenges, and made an effort to find ways to overcome these challenges. Therefore, this study examines the challenges and benefits of SMEs in Bangladesh to adopt open innovation. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 80 business entities belonging to SME traders through multistage sampling method which made of stratified, purposive and random sampling. Multiple regressions were used to analyze the data collected in order to determine the effects of independent variables (Challenges face by SMEs), entrepreneurial dimensions on dependent variable (Open Innovation). This study outcome exposed that challenges of SMEs have significant effects on open innovation. The study also exposed that the independent variable "lacking information" has a highest beta score than the other variables, which is a major barrier to open innovation adoption in the small and medium enterprises of Bangladesh. It was concluded that, 74.9% of the total variation in the open innovation data is explained by challenges of SMEs. Therefore, it is recommended that the government should take the necessary steps in view of the existing challenges of small and

Given the bank’s intermediary role in providing stability to the financial system, Bangladesh as well as many emerging economies has implemented policies to develop and restructure the banking sector. An important feature of these policies was to design guidelines for ‘best practices’ known as, ‘corporate governance of banks’. The unique feature of banking industry which deals with the money of the depositors conveys the inevitability to implement corporate governance in this sector.
