Working Capital can be found by subtracting current liabilities from current assets The purpose of this report is to determine the management of working capital by the company in terms of cash, inventory period, receivable period and payable period management and its overall influence on the profitability of the organization.
This study begins with the objective of the study and the methodology. The report entails the analysis of 5 years data of GSK commencing from the year 2012 to 2016.
Previously researchers have found that the failure or success of any business heavily depend on the efficient management of working capital performed by the administration. The objective of the study is to investigate the previous studies and find the correlation with this paper.
Following to the objective the general company overview with its operational structure has been given. Reportedly In the fiscal year 2013-14 GSK made more than 24 crores taka as Net Profit. They believe in higher utilization of short term financing hence follow aggressive WCM policy. Inventory conversion period has been used to determine the inventory management performance. The time gap between collecting money from the creditors is very reasonable. The organization tries to delay the accounts payable as much as possible. GSK makes the payment to debtors within 256 days of time.
Analysis of the collected secondary data has been given at the end. Descriptive, ratio analysis of the variables with proper interpretation has been included in the study for a clearer understanding on the issue. The relationship between profitability and working capital components has been deducted from the analysis. The analysis reflects that there is a negative relationship between profitability and receivable period whereas other variables are positively related. Last but not the least, findings and conclusion chapter bring the end of the report with a summary of the results found through quantitative analysisShamma NafisaB. Business Administratio
In silico comparative study of Zika Virus Proteins and analysis of Membrane glycoprotein M as a candidate for vaccine design
No full textThis thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (page 72-75).Zika virus is a (+) RNA virus that has become a major concern of public health in the last few years. It is known to cause microcephaly, reduction of brain circumference along with many type of brain injury in new-borns at a high rate. An effective vaccine against Zika virus is not yet discovered. In this investigation, a comparative study of Zika virus with its other relative species was performed. In order to do so, polyprotein sequences of 10 viruses (West Nile Virus, Rubella Virus, Dengue Virus 2, Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (Partial Polyprotein), Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (Partial Polyprotein), Ebola Virus (Structural Polyprotein), Chikungunya Virus (Non-Structural Polyprotein), Hepatitis C virus polyprotein, Cytomegalovirus Polyprotein) were analysed by Multiple Sequence Alignment using T Coffee (EMBL) and COBALT (NCBI) respectively. From the analysis, the most conserved regions among species were further analysed using InterProScan and ScanProSite for finding out their precise function and involvement. The overall biological processes, molecular function, and cell component characteristics were also identified. A phylogenetic tree considering 100% data coverage was also constructed. As an effort to find out an epitope for a probable peptide vaccine design, ZIKA virus Membrane Glycoprotein (M) was analysed because this was the only complete protein sequence submitted to NCBI so far. Using three distinct antigenicity and epitope prediction software, Vaxijen, BepiPred and BCPREDS five sequences were found to be antigenic. Among the five sequences, a seven amino acid long sequence ‘GSSTSQK’ and 12 amino acid long ENWIFRNPGFAL were determined to be most antigenic by Vaxijen (Antigenicity of GSSTSQK- 1.1341 and ENWIFRNPGFAL- 0.8161 where threshold value of antigenicity ≥ 0.4). These sequences have a high antigenicity, conservancy and surface accessibility suggesting that, these might be epitopes that are most compatible for designing a peptide vaccine.
Here a complete comparative study of Zika virus with its relatives were conducted to get insights about how Zika virus works. Alongside, identification of peptide vaccine candidate epitopes was done using bioinformatic tools.Afia NowshenB. Biotechnolog
Seller acquisition process of Daraz Bangladesh
No full textThis internship report is submitted in a partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration, 2018.Cataloged from PDF version of internship report.Includes bibliographical references (page 25).We are living in the era of globalization and E-commerce advancement. Our day to day lives
and livings heavily rely on internet. In this report I have tried to discuss both the insight and
outside procedure of an E-commerce organization and basically focused on acquisition
process of DarazBagladesh Ltd. Daraz Bangladesh started its journey in Bangladesh officially
in February 2015, within a very short period of time it grabs people attraction and popularity
thus it became the number one online retailer of Bangladesh. World’s largest internet
incubator Rocket internet is the venture of Daraz and presently has been acquired fully by
Alibaba Company. Previously it used to follow the model which name is E-bay. In E-bay
model the website works as a bridge between the buyers and sellers. The first stage of this
procedure is the seller acquisition, regarding to the need and demand of the consumer, the
commercial team acquire seller. The acquisition process might take 1week to 2-3 months
depending on the brand or on the product. After completing legal formalities of the
acquisition process the product/service got live in the Daraz website. Then the
product/service get visible to the consumer which includes every details of the
product.People visit Daraz’s website just like an actual marketplace to choose their desired
item.Daraz follows the commission model on each and every sale. People from all over
country can enjoy the easiest payment facilities of payment such as cash on delivery, Bkash,
bank transaction etc. All customer have to do is to place the order on Daraz’swebsite; the
delivery service man will bring the product to their mentioned address. From early days to till
now Daraz’s has some issue regarding their delivery system as it takes more or less 3-7 days
to deliver a product. Soon the issue will resolve as the company is very much well aware of
their customers satisfaction as well as their service. Gradually, the delivery system is getting
really smooth and customer complaint has decreased in good numbers. Daraz also provide
opportunities to their seller regarding promoting their product via social media, Google
search engine optimization (SEO) and newsletters.By 2016, Daraz Bangladesh is collecting
good amount of commission from their seller. The idea is to reach the break-even point.
Though the idea of online business and the journey of Darazis new in Bangladesh but they
actually established their name in peoples mind. It became possible because Daraz spend a lot
of money initially on their marketing campaign therefore they attracts huge amount of seller
within a very short period of time. There are over 4000 seller exists in Daraz website. The
buyer can find almost everything on Daraz. Recently they have added hotels, resorts and visa services in their service categories namely tours and travel. This clearly shows that Daraz
does not only focus on fixed category. They are trying to grab every business opportunity
where they feel they can progress. Even they are planning to expand to catering and
decoration services to their platform as well. Another interesting strategy of Daraz is that,
they do not want to give the sell to only to the selected sellers, they want all their sellers to
get the sell. That is why there is no option of direct promotion through money, all the sellers
have to climb up the stairs to get the desired promotion, and they just cannot get it right away.
Seller who will provide good service to the customer and be active on Daraz platform will get
extra benefit and good rating which will help them to get promotional benefits. Daraz
Bangladesh actually change and set their plans in weekly depending on the upcoming events
basis like combo offers, discounts, double taka voucher, 4tk deal, coupon offer etc. Therefore
customer always found something new here and that makes them keep coming and do
shopping at Daraz website.Shochi Islam KhanB. Business Administratio
