Personalization and digital social markets: disrupting the capitalist economy
No full textTahir Nisar presents a cogent, compelling account of recent developments and disruptions within the digital economy, and particularly within the industrial and service sectors. Through an original, overarching framework rooted in the concept of personalization and its antecedents, Nisar identifies radically new forms of relationships, both economic and social, among firms and customers. These new relationships are driving major changes in commercial and industrial firms' policies and practices, and in turn, in the entire market economy. E-commerce trading, user-generated content, virtual communities, co-creation, influencer movements, FinTech, and sharing economies have strengthened the hands of consumers and have encouraged developments in cognitive technologies such as AI automation, which in turn create new ways of working and disruptions to traditional capital-labour relations. Ultimately, what emerges from this study is a picture of how digital technologies unleash forces of change that are creating new forms of social and economic sharing arrangements and new forms of social organization.For its empirical depth and and theoretical rigor, this book is essential reading for researchers and students interested in emerging, alternative forms of economics, business, and management, and particularly those interested in the digital economy and the state and future of capitalist markets

Information Needs of Media Practitioners in Karachi, Pakistan
No full textThis study explores the kind of information generally needed by media practitioners (MPs) in Karachi, Pakistan to perform the duties. 185 MPs from three types of media (TV, radio and newspaper) were surveyed. Reports of various organizations are the most used source of information. MPs need selective, rather than exhaustive, information on a daily basis. The findings of this study could help design library services and need-based collection development in media libraries
Subjectivity in Incentive Pay
No full textI investigate the determinants and effects of subjectivity in incentive pay. New forms of incentive pay are increasingly being introduced by company management – for example, bonuses are now linked to wider business goals, such as quality and customer service, company reputation and employee hiring and retention policies, replacing the traditional focus on output or profit measures. A new conceptual work on subjectivity is used to evaluate these incentive pay practices. The analysis shows that a variety of contextual factors influence the organizations to make greater use of subjectivity in incentive pay. I also discuss the performance effects of subjectivity

Direct and indirect effect of 10 valent pneumococcal vaccines on the nasopharyngeal carriage in children under 2 years of age in Matiari, Pakistan. Vaccine. 2021 Jan 6:S0264-410X(20)31662-5. DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2020.12.066. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 33422379. Data was collected for a time-series cross-sectional study exploring the impact of 10-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) on nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage in children under 2 years of age from a rural population in Sindh, Pakistan. The study was carried out in two union councils of Matiari - Khyber and Shah Alam Shah Jee Wasi (Latitude 25.680298 / Longitude 68.502711). Data was collected on socio-demographics, clinical characteristics, and vaccination status using an android phone-based application. NP samples were collected using standard World Health Organisation (WHO) techniques, culture and serotyping were done using sequential Multiplex PCR described by the Centre for Disease Control, USA. We looked at the carriage rate of vaccine-type (VT) and non-vaccine type (NVT) serotypes over time in vaccinated and unvaccinated children. We additionally looked at the predictors for pneumococcal carriage. The study showed a high overall pneumococcal carriage in a large sample of 3140 children enrolled from a rural setting in Pakistan over a period of four years. Vaccine type carriage decreased both in the vaccinated and unvaccinated population indicating herd immunity
