چکیده

We begin with a review of the upward influence literature. Within the past decade, organizational theory and research have made substantial contributions to our understanding of the upward influence process in organizations. Conspicuously missing from this research literature is information on the relationship between the use of upward influence tactics to gender, Age and type of Industry. The purpose of this research paper is to look at how the tactics of upward influence adopted by the manager’s play a role in their career advancement and whether gender, type of industry and Age differences exist in the choice of upward influence tactics in Asian settings. A set of hypothesis and sub-hypothesis regarding the relation between use of influence tactics, gender, age and industry were tested and some very interesting results came out which partially supported the existing research and also gave new insights to it.

Numerical Simulation of Heating Characteristics in a Microwave T-Prong Antenna for Cancer Therapy

Abstract—This research is presented with microwave (MW) ablation by using the T-Prong monopole antennas. In the study, threedimensional (3D) finite-element methods (FEM) were utilized to analyse: the tissue heat flux, temperature distributions (heating pattern) and volume destruction during MW ablation in liver cancer tissue. The configurations of T-Prong monopole antennas were considered: Thre...

Energy Absorption Analysis and Multi-objective Optimization of Tri-layer Cups Subjected to Quasi-static Axial Compressive Loading

In this paper, the energy absorption features of tri-layer explosive-welded deep-drawn cups subjected to quasi-static axial compressive loading are investigated numerically and experimentally. To produce the cups, tri-layer blanks composed of aluminum and stainless steel alloys were fabricated by an explosive-welding process and formed by a deep drawing setup. The quasi-static tests were carrie...

A possibilistic bi-objective model for a competitive supply chain network design under variable coverage

In this paper, the strategic planning of a supply chain under a static chain-to-chain competition on the plane is addressed. It is assumed that each retailer has a coverage area called the radius of influence. The demand of each demand zone is divided equally between the retailers which can cover that market. However, the demand of distant customers who are not in the retailers’ radius of influ...
