Abstract

Succession is an integral process of every family firm. Since majority of the small family firms fail to survive for long term and fall sick when it reaches the second -third generation or in the first generation itself, managing succession is identified as the most important but critical issue in a family business. This study tries to evaluate the issues behind such a problem and to suggest strategies to remove the lacunae. After exploratory study, succession planning, succession timing, selecting a successor and social issues were identified as independent variables, regression analysis was performed to find out its impact on the performance of paddy processing units of Chattisgarh. The result reveals that there is a strong impact of succession planning and social issues on firm performance. A firm which plans for its succession in advance and associate with social causes achieve success, reputation and hence sustainability.

Keywords

Abstract

The study was undertaken to explore the dominance of Sattva, Rajas and Tamas (Trigunas) and color preferences among patients with depression and obsessive compulsive disorder and in normal population which was exploratory in nature. Sample of 90 subjects was selected, both males and females, between age range of 20-40 years by using purposive technique. 30 patients from each group were selected. Vedic Personality Inventory was used to assess the dominance of gunas and Luscher color test was administered to find out the color preferences. Sattva was the most dominant guna in the normal population. Rajas was the predominant one in both the patient populations. In Colour Preferences, blue was the most preferred colour of the control group and black, the least preferred. In the group consisting of patients suffering from depression, grey was the most preferred choice and yellow andredwerethe least preferred choices of the group. In the third group which comprised of people suffering from OCD, red was preferred by majority, followed by blue. Black was voted as the least preferred colour followed by yellow. Present piece of research was a small step to explore the Indian methods of diagnosis and intervention with relation to mental health problems and the findings were quite supportive in this regard.

Abstract

DC motor is the most common choice if wide range of adjustable speed drive operation is specified. Of the three kinds of DC motors - series shunt and separately excited DC motors, separately excited DC motors are most often used. Different speed can be obtained by changing the armature voltage and the field voltage A common actuator in control systems is the DC motor. It directly provides the rotary motion and, coupled with wheels or drums and cables, can provide transitional motion. Today variant applications require more and more features such as speed applications to multipurpose accessories, user friendly interfaces, and security features. Such new requirements can be achieved through a fuzzy logic approach. Nowadays, most of fuzzy logic based controls are only limited to a complicated ranking management of user interfaces, sensors and actuators, corresponding to a slow software speed operation. Fuzzy Logic motor control is a promising technique for extracting maximum performance from modern motors. More efficient motors can significantly reduce energy consumption and help mitigate environmental problems such as acid rain and global warming. Today improved motor control has reached a point requiring either highly accurate simulation of the complex, non-linear system or an alternate mechanism for predicting and optimizing controlled motor system behavior. Fuzzy logic has been chosen here to fill the latter role.
