  • Pacers Outduel Grizzlies
    WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 2013 SPORTS Pacers outduel Grizzlies INDIANAPOLIS: Paul George scored 23 points and Lance Stephenson had the first triple- double of his career, leading the Indiana Pacers to a 95-79 victory Monday over the Memphis Grizzlies. Indiana became the NBA’s seventh team to open 8-0 since 2000 - two more wins than the franchise’s previous best start. And they fol- lowed a familiar script in the battle between last season’s conference runner-ups by domi- nating the glass, dominating the second half and divvying up top honors. Stephenson finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists. George Hill scored 13 points and Roy Hibbert added five more blocks to his NBA-leading total. Memphis was led by Marc Gasol with 15 points and Zach Randolph with 12.

A Comparative Study of Adhuli & Unilever Bangladesh Authors: Gul Hakeem & Md.Nazmul Hasan Supervisor: Magnus Linderström Date: 18 June, 2013 Keywords Web/Home pages, Online Customer Satisfaction, Standardization, Adaptation, Consumer Behavior, MNCs, Culture, Information Technology, Optimization, Unilever Bangladesh, Adhuli, Customer Relationship Management (CRM). i 6/18/2013 Abstract Background: Businesses, local or foreign, can no longer ignore the internet. As online competition for customers intensifies, it’s paramount for companies to understand the dynamics of online customer satisfaction, the key to selling online or using the internet via its website for informational purposes. A company’s web/home page is it’s foremost and most probably in some cases the only channel online with which it engages, interacts with and attract customers. Companies thus need to seriously take into account the level of standardization and adaptation, the most critical dimensions of their webpage makeup, in order to enhance their customer satisfaction online. Purpose: The study tries to examine the standardization and adaptation effect and its significance in terms of its OCS value for a website through a comparative case study, between an MNC and a local vendor website with two distinct websites: informational and transactional websites.
