Market research in fast food restaurant sector
Get PDFThis is a research based thesis which focuses on market research in fast food restaurants. The main purpose of this research is to understand customer’s expectations in terms of services, menu items, and related ethical aspects. Another objective of this thesis is to evaluate the challenges for a startup restaurant based on market analysis of existing fast food market in capital region of Finland.
The detailed study of different market research methods was performed to develop the market research methodology suitable for the fast food restaurant business. After thoroughly studying different market research methods, the research was divided into two levels: micro and macro. The micro level market research focused on the factors which can be controlled by the entrepreneur, while the macro level market research focused on the factors which cannot be controlled by the entrepreneur.
For micro level market research, qualitative research approach was used to understand the factors which can help to attract the customers in fast food business. The non-participant observation method was employed to rate and record customer satisfaction for this purpose. This observation was performed in international fast food chain located in capital region of Finland. For macro level market research, quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used to understand the challenges for a startup restaurant. The PESTEL and Porter’s Five Forces analysis tools were used in this case.
Market research results are quite encouraging for restaurant business in Finland during the past few years. The analysis of these results confirms that opening a fast food restaurant in the capital of Finland has good chance of success. The author recommends to include hamburgers in the menu and allow the customers to see the preparation process and customize the ingredients according personal choices
"Maṣrūf Aurat" by Khalida Hussain (1937-2019)
No full text<p>Khalida Hussain (1937–2019) was born in Lahore and started her literary career by publishing short stories in the journal Adab-e Latīf during the 1960s. She took a break from writing for more than a decade after her marriage. She remerged again on the literary scene in 1981 with the publication of her short story collection, Paḥchān, followed by five more short story collections and a novel. Hussain is known for introducing a new trend on the Urdu literary horizon as she experimented with the idea of abstract and non-inear narratives. She was very skillful in her craft, using a technique, John Gardner calls 'the psychic lens'. Every now and then she would draw the reader in to her thoughts then zoom out and offer a more aerial view of the plot. Her technique differed from stream-of consciousness, which her contemporaries employed, as she was careful not to isolate the reader into the confines of her mind. She was also one of the few writers who despite living in intolerant times under dictatorship, was not afraid to draw on Hindu mythology or Sufi traditions as she explored spirituality in her writings, particularly the concept of wujūd through existentialism. Hussain's narratives serve as a source of inspiration for challenging societal norms and advocating for positive change, making her work profoundly relevant in today's world. Her compact yet dazzling body of work endures as a clarion call to raising feminist consciousness, destined to inspire generations in the quest for equality and freedom. She wasn't just an author; she was a humanist icon, her stories, a powerful voice for change.</p>

The Effect of Person-Organization Fit on Turnover Intention with Job Satisfaction as Mediating Variable
No full textCurrently, the sharia banking industry continues to grow and develop. Furthermore, one of the fastest growing sharia banks is Sharia Mandiri Bank (BSM). Every company including sharia banking faces the challenge of attracting, developing, and retaining its employees. This study aims to examine the effect of person-organization-fit (P-O fit) on employee turnover intention in Sharia Mandiri Bank (BSM) by considering job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Multidimensional P-O fit, namely supplementary fit, complementary fit, needs-supplies fit and demands-abilities fit (Piasentin, 2007), Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (Camman et al. 1979) and Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth’s (1978) revised model were used to measure P-O fit, job satisfaction and turnover intention. A quantitative survey was conducted on a non-probability (purposive) sample of 100 permanent employees working at PT Bank Syariah Mandiri. Correlation, multistage regression and bootstrap were used to test the direct and mediating relationship between key variables. The results uncovered that there is a moderate negative correlation between P-O fit and turnover intention, a strong positive correlation between P-O fit and job satisfaction, and a moderate negative correlation between job satisfaction and turnover intention. The simple regression analysis showed that P-O fit is a significant predictor of job satisfaction and both P-O fit and job satisfaction were significant predictors to turnover intention. Bootstrapping test revealed a statistical support for the indirect effect of P-O fit on turnover intention through job satisfaction. Moreover, the results of multistage regression analysis confirm that job satisfaction significantly mediated the relationship between P-O fit and turnover intention as a full mediator. The results and implications of the study are discussed and recommendations for future research are addressed
