The purpose of this study is to develop a strategy framework using the unified life cycle model (Product lifecycle and Industry life cycle). As this study is descriptive in nature and it has used multi-staged mixed methods. At first stage qualitative data was collected through interviews and focus groups while at a later part of the research quantitative data was collected from the marketing managers of telecom sector (N=100). This study provides numerous benefits over earlier studies. Firstly, both Product Life Cycle (PLC) and Industry Life Cycle (ILC) have shown weaknesses and limitations. This research has unified both PLC and ILC into one Unified Life Cycle (ULC) combining the strengths and reducing the weakness of both life cycles. Secondly, earlier studies failed to provide any integrated strategic framework of selecting appropriate marketing strategies; using both PLC and ILC in silos. The current research provides an integrated strategic framework for strategy selection using both PLC and ILC and has studied the telecom sector in Pakistan. Finally and probably most importantly this study has devised a Unified Life Cycle model showing an integrated strategy map and depicting appropriate marketing mix strategy to be used for each stage of the life cycles. Two methodological improvements also make this research as distinct achievement as compared to earlier work on this subject area. Firstly, earlier studies only provide four stages of PLC and ILC each. This research has divided each stage PLC and ILC into two stages Early and Late for each stage. This provides more in-depth and focused analysis. Secondly, earlier studies have focused on theoretical methodologies while this research has involved both academicians and practicing managers as experts. This has increased the worthiness of this piece of research for both academicians and practicing managers.

2۔ زرد پتوں کی موت

زرد پتوں کی موت

شاکر انور

افسانہ”زرد پتوں کی موت“پڑھ کر بس ایک خیال ذہن میں آتا ہے یعنی”فسانہ کہیں جسے“۔دراصل معیاری تخلیق شعر و افسانہ کی یہی تخلیقی تاثیر ہوتی ہے کہ قرأت کے بعد قاری کے ذہن پر اس کی فنی جادوگری اپنا سحرچھوڑے اور اس کا دل مطمئن ہوجائے کہ واقعی کوئی تخلیقی شعر یا افسانہ پڑھا ہے۔چاہے قاری اس تخلیق کار کو جانتا ہو یا نہیں جانتا ہو‘جس طرح راقم شاکرانور صاحب کو نہیں جانتا ہے۔بس تخلیق بولنی چاہے۔پیش نظر افسانہ”زردپتوں کی موت فن اور فکشن کا فسوں خیز تاثر چھوڑرہا ہے۔اس میں صرف کہانی یا واقعہ نگاری نہیں ہے بلکہ کہانی اور واقعہ نگاری کے ساتھ ساتھ افسانوی عناصر بھی موجود ہیں جس کی وجہ سے اس کابیانیہ اور پلاٹ سازی غضب کی فن کاری کامظاہرہ کررہی ہے۔تخلیقی جملے‘تخیلی پیش کش‘مشاہداتی گہرائی‘ماہرانہ اسلوب‘عمدہ جزئیات نگاری‘نفسیاتی زیروبم  اور تشبیہ و استعارے وغیرہ خوبیوں سے متن مزین ہے اور افسانے کی کہانی سفر زندگی کے نشیب و فراز کی نفسیاتی بازرسانی کا جمالیاتی اظہار ہے جو فنی طورپر قاری کے جمالیاتی احساس (Aesthetical feeling) کو چھو جاتاہے۔

افسانے کے تین کردارایک مرکزی کردار اسد بھائی بصورت راوی‘اوردوسرے ’اسلم بھائی‘انیتا ہیں۔اور افسانہ نگار نے بڑی ہنرمندی سے تینوں کی کردارنگاری کو پلاٹ میں ایڈجسٹ کیا ہے۔کہیں پر ایسا نہیں لگتا ہے کہ افسانہ نگار کرداروں کے منہ میں اپنی بات یا خیال زبردستی ٹھونس رہا ہے بلکہ ہر کردار کے فکر وخیال‘آزاد خیالی اور مسرت و مایوسی کو ان کی ہی کردار نگاری کے ذریعے پیش کیاگیا ہے جو کہ اس افسانے کی ایک اہم خوبی قرار دی جاسکتی ہے۔

MANAGEMENT OF AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER (ASD) and COLLABORATIVE TEAMS

Autism Spectrum disorder (ASD) is a condition related to the development of the brain that can lead to persistent challenges with socialization, restricted interests, and repeated behaviour. Diagnosis for ASD is used as a basis of DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder) produced by American Psychiatric Association. ASD is observed in children during early years of life and significantly affects an individual’s wellbeing. Autism has remained a mystery for many specialists and researchers  for years. Although the cause of autism is still unknown, a number of strategies have been developed that have helped so many people around the world to live independently. So far there are no authentic facts for ASD prevalence in Pakistan however the statistics is roughly calculated from South Asia that ASD might be as common in Pakistan as somewhere else around the world. In a country like Pakistan where Autism is still a new phenomenon especially in rural areas, we have very restricted qualified human resources to provide a reliable rehabilitation service for a child with ASD and their family. Apart from that due to inadequate awareness exposure, knowledge, and incompetency in diagnosis, these children go undiagnosed and are mishandled.

Impact of Contextualized Text on Students’ Learning of Writing Skills of English As Second Language for Specific Purposes at Tertiary Level

Contextualized text means the text resulting from the local circumstances and in accordance with learners’ needs and cognition level. It also suggests that the text in use includes language, understandable to the target learners, and suits the philosophy and psychology of the learners and the society. Knowledge shifts from one to another context more successfully when the pupil understands not only the specifics but also the generalized vision—the fundamental ideology, models, and associations attained through the appliance of comprehension. True experimental design was adopted for the research to explain the relationship between dependent and independent variables. Two groups (control and experimental) were selected randomly to conduct the experiment. The independent variable of the study was Contextualized text and dependent variables were Writing Skills, Thinking Skills and Social and Ethical Development of the learners while learners’ Socioeconomic Status was taken as an attribute variable. The researcher selected simple factorial design for the study to analyze the effects of attribute variable as well on the dependent variables. Descriptive statistics was used to convert the data from mere wordy data into statistical one in order to make it measurable and statistically provable. ANOVA was used to make credible inferences from the data obtained. The findings signify that improvement in students’ learning is because of the treatment and no other factor has any effect on this.
