Content digitization is a current phenomenon that has had a huge impact on
traditional media. The era of globalization has had significant effect on the way media
houses the world over strive to reach their audience and especially given that the world
is so interconnected to a point that any happening in one continent has a significant
effect in the most remote location in another continent. This has led to innovations
such as the use of E-Paper that’s geared towards reaching larger audiences by media
houses as well as remain competitive in this era of great competition and liberalization
of the economy. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine the effect of EPaper subscription on the revenue performance of the Standard Media Group Limited,
Nairobi. The study was guided by the Schumpeter’s innovation theory of
entrepreneurship. Descriptive survey research design was adopted. Both primary and
secondary data were collected. Primary data was collected by the use of a
questionnaire while Secondary data sought historical data on the organisational
revenues by department and on the profitability of the organisation for the past twentyfive years between 1991 and 2016. The target population included all the 202
members of staff in the Commercial and Online departments at Standard Media
Group, Nairobi. The researcher drew a proportional random sample of 30% of the
respondents from the two departments who provided the information required. Data
was processed and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the help of
the Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22 and Microsoft’s Excel 2013 to
generate Frequencies, percentages and regression that were used to answer the
research questions. Findings were presented using appropriate tables and graphs that
depicted the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent
variables. It was established that the rate of revenue growth in the e-paper platform
was exponential, and was highly co-related to the overall organizational revenue, and
that the combined revenue from the e-paper, and other aspects of digital content
provision had exponentially grown from nil in 2009 to over KES 120 million 2016.
Further research is suggested on the effect of content digitization on the operational
and revenue performance of print media at Standard Media Group, and on the effect of

This study examines the pattern of stock returns in the Indonesian stock
market. Using the GARCH (1, 1) model, the study investigates the effects of day-ofthe-week, month-of-the-year and monthly on the daily return series from January 2003
to August 2008. The study also examines the combined effect of the three anomalies.
Overall, stock returns are found to be lower at the beginning of the week but closed
higher by the end of the week. The stock returns are also found to be lower during the
first quarter of the year but they register higher returns throughout the remaining
months of the year, particularly towards the end of the year. The stock returns
consistently produced significant positive returns on Wednesday throughout the month
of April and May. Although evidence of significant positive returns is also found on
other days within certain months, they do not prevail throughout the entire month.
They are confined either to the first or second half of the month. The presence of
seasonal effects in the Indonesian stock market indicates that market participants have
the chance of making significant returns when trading on the specific days of the
months. However, the abnormal gains are subject to the transaction cost which is not
accounted for in this study.

In the past 15 years, awareness concerning natural changes was evidently
expanding among population and industries. International agencies and national
governments have expanded their endeavors concerning natural resources depletion,
ozone depletion, gas emissions and waste reduction. Therefore, the main purpose of this
paper is to examine the existing literature on the relationship between just-in-time (JIT),
total productive maintenance (TPM), total quality management (TQM) and
organisational performance. In total, 20 articles were empirically reviewed, all published
in peer-reviewed journals between 2014 and 2018. The articles are analysed in terms of
several general variables such as type of research and theoretical viewpoint, and the
perspective taken on organisational criteria. The empirical reviewed indicated that JIT,
TPM and TQM, maintained by human resource practices, have a significant prospective
to develop the organisational performance. However, a simultaneous implementation of
JIT, TPM and TQM does not certainly lead to greater performance. As prospective
purpose for this, human resources are viewed as restrictive factor both improvement
programs draw on. Therefore, this limited resource is acknowledged as vital element
with respect to organisational performance when implementing JIT, TPM and TQM
concurrently.

Employees are the major drivers of any form of business and good
employee performance is the most important need for the current competitive business
environment to run successfully. Many organisations have started to attach a great
emphasis towards the attitudes of workers towards the various instruments they use for
performance appraisals. Performance Management and Performance Appraisal are
very important tools; it helps to motivate employees to work hard and improves
overall company’s productivity. The need to design instruments that motivate the
employees through the entire of performance management process cannot be
overemphasized.
Over the course of the last three decades agile project management has by
far become the preferred approach to project management being employed by today’s
organisations. The online and fast paced nature of today's market place has meant that
organisations need to be able to deliver their projects much quicker and in shorter time
frames then in previous times. A new way of working has meant that existing areas of
project management have needed to evolve to align with this new way of working.
One such area is that of risk management. Risk management plays an integral role in
the success both of a project and the organisation itself. This manuscript aims to
review how risk management can be performed within an agile project management
framework.

employees so fewer leave, sick absence reduces, accident rates decline, conflicts and
grievances go down, productivity increases. Employee engagement is about
organisation actions that are consistent with the organisation’s values. This paper is an
