Abstract: Shopping malls are conceived as one stop destination for the consumer needs of a catchment area. A performing mall indicates the economic prosperity of a given trading area, territory or a region. However, almost 90% of the time it is seen that the malls fail to attract the targeted customers resulting thereby in failures forcing developers to change the use of the property at a later stage. The purpose of this study is to find out the factors that affect performance of a shopping mall in general so that these factors can be taken as benchmark to study the performance of shopping malls in Jaipur City, capital of Rajasthan, India.

Abstract: Metropolitan governments produce services within the framework of the principle of administrative integrity and in some basic rules. The principles shaping the structures of these administrations can vary according to the social, political and economic structures of the countries as well as universal characteristics. The common motive in these principles is the production of the most appropriate service. Therefore, each country can place emphasis on decentralization or centralization according to its political conditions, and the basic values on which metropolitan governments are based are shaped by this emphasis. When we examine metropolitan governments around the world, we see that each one is organized as a local government organization. This also means that the core..........

Abstract: The goal of this study was to identify an empirical strategy, which can appropriately and uniformly propel workers to maximize their potentials towards the full realization of the goals of their organizations. The study adopted the survey research method with questionnaire as the instrument for data gathering. Copies of the questionnaire, which were administered on newsroom personnel in different broadcast stations in Abuja, a major broadcasting centre in Nigeria, were retrieved and analysed.

Abstract: A quarter of a century after the establishment of a regulatory authority for broadcasting in Nigeria, the nation is yet to experience full-scale professional excellence in the gathering, production and transmission of broadcast content. Amateurish reportage and dissemination of stale information, poor signals and hazy pictures as well as general disregard for broadcast rules, laws and ethics are still discernible. Are these deficiencies the handiwork of illegal broadcast stations or the result of poor supervision of legally licensed stations? To react to these posers, this paper undertakes a critical examination of the provisions of the National Broadcasting Commission Act No 38 of 1992 as amended and finds certain inherent defects in the enabling law for the regulation of broadcasting in the country. With the tenets..........
