This thesis has endeavored to develop an entrepreneurial model for Pakistani SMEs. While developing the model, the author has benefited from the experiences of successful entrepreneurs engaged in commercial fast-food sector. The research was conducted through a survey instrument, adopted from the validated questionnaires of the previous research. The instrument included 29 items. This study had a sample size of 257 and these individuals were successful commercial fast-food entrepreneurs. Data collected through survey was statistically analyzed and linear and stepwise regressions were used to test the research hypotheses. The results show that essentially four factors namely culture and environment, resources, innovation and opportunity are main factors of the profitability and business success in this sector. Therefore, favorable synergies ensuring availability of these determinants are required for the promotion and growth of the SMEs which will in turn induce economic growth in economy. It is further argued that seeking economic growth through the growth of SMEs sector is most appropriate strategy given the labor-abundant and capital scarce nature of the economy. The proposed model is analyzed through statistical and econometric techniques. The results so obtained validates theoretical model. The innovation factor turns out to be the most important factor, hence, the study concludes that entrepreneurial success is highly influenced by innovative behavior of the entrepreneurs but being opportunistic, a suitable culture and environment and sufficient resources are also needed for the success of a commercial fast-food SMEs. Extending this result, to the whole SMEs sector, it is maintained that entire entrepreneurial sector could be activated for the benefit of the economy. The results of the thesis are in general in conformity of the other similar studies undertaken in the western countries. It is recommended to conduct similar studies on other Pakistani SMEs sectors by benchmarking this study and the findings of this study must be incorporated in the SMEs policies and guidelines.

سید غلا م محی الدین

سید غلام محی الدین
دوسرا حادثہ جناب سید غلام محی الدین کی وفات کا ہے، جو بڑے خاموش، متین، متواضع اور ذی علم شخص تھے۔ مولانا آزاد میموریل اکیڈمی لکھنؤ کے روح رواں اور اس کے انگریزی جرنل کے ایڈیٹر تھے، وہ مجلس تحقیقات و نشریات اسلام لکھنؤ کے بھی نہایت سرگرم رکن اور انگریزی کے اچھے اہل قلم تھے، مولانا سیدابوالحسن علی ندوی مدظلہ سے بڑا مخلصانہ تعلق رکھتے تھے، ان کے دینی و دعوتی کاموں میں ان کے معادن بھی تھے، ان کی متعدد کتابوں اور مضامین کا انگریزی ترجمہ کیا، مولانا ان کی خاموش خدمت اور علمی صلاحیت کے معترف تھے، عرصہ سے تنفس کا مرض لاحق ہوگیا تھا۔ بالاخر ۹؍ نومبر کو وقت موعود آگیا، اﷲ تعالیٰ ان کے درجات بلند فرمائے، آمین۔ (ضیاء الدین اصلاحی، دسمبر ۱۹۹۶ء)

 

الشمامۃ العنبریۃ من مولد خیر البریۃ از نواب صدیق حسن کے خصائص و بدیعیات کا تنقیدی جائزہ

Nawab Siddique Hassan Khan is renowned author of Sub-Continent and placed a well-known award for his writings. This article describes the methodology and characteristics of Al Shmamat ul Anbriyah min maulid e khair ul briyah. This book is basically a seerat study and contains on many new but unfamiliar sources of Seerah. So, he had a great addition on seerat by writing this book. It was in ancient Urdu, hardly to understand its text. The author made this possible in his research work and he also examined its methodology. In this article a managed and detailed description of this book is presented. However, we found some unique errors of references and textual study of seerah. Mostly he used a random method during the writing of this book. Author found many features of this book, whom doesn’t exist in other seerat books like this. Still there are many points, which decrease its importance and creates negative opinion regarding his seerat writing, as some times he included third party research and paid its credit to himself and many places he added irrelevant narrations to his subject.

Effect of Development Strategies and Project Types on Offshore Software Development Using Agile Paradigm- an Exploratory Study

Goal of this research is to check the feasibility of blending Agile software development methods in offshore software development. We hope that this blend will result in a significant improvement in a software development cycle by benefiting from both worlds. There are many factors which contribute to the success / failure of offshore Agile project development, e.g. development strategy, project type, communication channel, cultural differences, distant locations and project size. This thesis focuses on the effect of development strategy and project types on the offshore software development. In this research, we also report on success rate and suitability of different types of software projects and development strategies using offshore Agile software development. The survey indicates that coding and testing phases of software development are best suited for off shoring in any iteration of discipline-oriented sprint life cycle development. We havefound that maximum success rates for feature-oriented development strategy is obtained by developing general modules of a project at distributed location and critical modules at onshore. The study observed maximum success rate for web-based applications and websites among others offshore developed projects.
