The business competition is a higher sharpening, consumer preferences and behavior change information technology develops rapidly on business to focus on better respond and to enhance customer loyalty. The brand competition of PC is increasingly competitive. The manufacturers is trying to needs and wants of consumers by offering a variety of products with a many categories based on specifications, color, size and price. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of brand experience and brand trust to enhancing brand commitment. The data of the study collected by survey method. The sample in this research is the students from three cities in Indonesia as Yogyakarta, Semarang and Jakarta. The analysis of this research uses SEM.

Abstract The evaluation of the employee’s capacity and ability to work and their qualification is very difficult and people couldn’t do it perfectly and absolutely. Because human hasn’t reached yet to the tools that could measure the potential and even really human abilities accurately. Especially in the many cases, the evaluator is a person could do not justice consciously or unconsciously influenced the thoughts,... The evaluation of the employee’s capacity and ability to work and their qualification is very difficult and people couldn’t do it perfectly and absolutely. Because human hasn’t reached yet to the tools that could measure the potential and even really human abilities accurately. Especially in the many cases, the evaluator is a person could do not justice consciously or unconsciously influenced the thoughts, discomforts, prejudices, emotions and feelings and for this reason claimed that if we couldn’t evaluate the others justly, it is better to avoid. This is a descriptive- functional study. Two questionnaires were used for data gathering that include one questionnaire about the pathology of the performance evaluation system made by researcher and one questionnaire about the feasibility of implementing performance management based on the Baldrige Model that is standard. Statistical society size considered 1500 persons. The research statistic society includes the employees and managers of the Iranian oil pipeline and telecommunication company. The sample size by Cochran formula is 306 persons. Finally, we denied the assuming equivalent of the regression coefficient in the 0.o5 error level for the performance management hypothesis and concluded there is a significant relationship between all components and the performance management. Thus all of the six examined hypotheses were confirmed. Therefore we can conclude the performance management has a significant impact on the oil pipeline and telecommunication company and there is a significant relationship on the 0.05 error level between considered variables and performance assessment. Also, we denied the existence of the significant relationship between the paths of the evaluator and performance evaluation standard variables (0.196 and 0.682) and job assessment on the 0.05 error level with considering of the probabilities more than 0.05. Thus the 8 and 9 hypotheses were denied and the other hypotheses were confirmed. Read More Read Less

E-commerce is major influential domain of a digital economy worldwide. Ethiopia; a one of the fast growing economy in the horn of Africa is a country enriched with exportable products and services but lagging behind in standardized, structured and harmonized e-Commerce techno-economic policy systems. Further, it is also lagging in semantic retailer website or e-business portal which adopts or follow universal and standardized vocabulary or ontology existing as on date. Semantic web is the future web version used to amplify knowledge sharing via open systems. The key technology for the Semantic Web is salient Ontologies. In order to automate E-business with semantic web technologies specifically for Ethiopian business model, it needs to develop and annotate domain specific Ontologies for product offerings on the Web. In order to improve the visibility of Ethiopian localized products and services over the latest search engines, agents and recommender systems; a localized ontology is presented in this research paper. The Ethiopian Export Products and Services Ontology (EEPS) have been modeled as part of this research effort. Here the ontology is derived from the existing heterogeneous products classification using GenTax algorithm and designed as a GoodRelations compliant ontology for the vertical industry. Since the existing standard web offers ontology (GoodRelations) is a generic in its nature. In order improve the ebusiness this research contributes how to improve search engine optimization (SEO), web visibility and Semantic interoperability of Ethiopian export products and services over the web using machine understandable capability.
