The study aimed to investigate the phenomena of burnout and engagement amongst educators in ‘Under-performing’ and ‘Performing’ High Schools. A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst educators in ‘Under-performing’ and ‘Performing’ High Schools (n = 310) constituting a convenience sample. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, together with a biographical questionnaire, was administered and found to be a valid and reliable instrument to measure the burnout and engagement of these participants. Two reliable factors, namely burnout and engagement, were extracted. Both categories of participants experienced burnout to some extent. Results from the study showed that participants from Under-Performing High Schools were found to be more cynical, while those in Performing High Schools were more exhausted. Work engagement was also found to be experienced by both categories of participators.

After sales service, price, promotion and distribution intensity has been chosen to see their effect on perceived quality, brand loyalty, brand awareness and association which are elements of overall brand equity as proposed by Aaker in 1996. To test the model Mobile Industry is chosen as this industry is growing day by day and most of the customers are brand conscious in this industry due to high involvement product and complex buying behaviour. Youth of all over Pakistan was chosen as a sample to conduct research. The result indicates positive impact of after sale service, promotion and price on perceived quality, brand loyalty, brand association and awareness. Keywords—Marketing Mix, Brand Equity, Dimensions of Brand Equity, Mobile Industry Introduction Brand Equity can be defined as value of a brand in consumer’s mind due to its brand name. The difference in the value of a product when it is branded than unbranded is also known as its Brand Equity (Aaker & Equity, 1991),(Aaker, 1996a; Keller, 1993). Brand Equity has remained an important research area for brand managers over the past 3 decades (Reynolds & Phillips, 2005). The concept is gaining importance and popularity day by day because of lots of new arrivals in the market and tough competitive environment. According to (Keller, Parameswaran, & Jacob, 2011) Positive customer-based brand equity, has several advantages, it gives firm greater revenues, lower costs and higher profits and due to this firm can charge higher prices. Some studies have revealed that product’s brand equity has positive affect on profitability and long term cash flows of the company(Srivastava & Shocker, 1991) Brand Equity dimensions have been provided by(Aaker & Equity, 1991) as Brand Loyalty, Brand Association, Brand awareness, Perceived quality and Proprietary assets. Most researchers have Ignored the fifth dimension as it does not affect consumer perception domain(Buil, de Chernatony, & Martinez, 2008). But very little efforts are put to determine effect of marketing mix of a brand on its equity. According to (Shocker, Srivastava, & Ruekert, 1994). Due to this reason our research will determine effect of different elements of Marketing Mix on increasing or decreasing of Brand Equity(Yoo, Donthu, & Lee, 2000). This model is also helpful in managerial context as it will demonstrate which marketing mix elements are important to create high brand equity leading to high financial performance of the firm. To narrow down our research we have chosen Mobile industry of Pakistan as it is known as one of the world’s largest mobile phone market in the sales of smart phones(Rehman, 2016). Apart from this the Mobile technology has dramatically converted the traditional E-Commerce into mobile commerce hence looking more attractive due to its flexibleness and easy access to internet (Scharl, Dickinger, & Murphy, 2005) Lite","PeriodicalId":242510,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Economics and Management Study - SEM 2018","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124561685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The starting point of this research is the fact that tourism promotion affects the destination choice of future tourists only with 8% (Travelsat, 2011). With the aim to reveal the impact of sensory branding on the future tourists, organized a neuromarketing research using electroencephalographic scanning of the participants, to explore the extent to which sensory branding can increase the impact of promotion on consumers. A comparison of statistically structured results gives an answer to the question of the extent to which this form of promotion influences the behavior and decision-making of consumers.","PeriodicalId":242510,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Economics and Management Study - SEM 2018","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126148221","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Distrital Francisco José de Caldas University, the prototype of the game \"La Escalera\" is proposed, which poses a mathematical problem to be solved. This prototype consists of a board game of 8 cubes divided into two groups of 4 cubes and a board in the form of a ladder, each cube having to exchange its position with a cube of the other group respecting the rules of the game, while the game is solved, the prototype provides visual, auditory and tactile help; And in turn it collects all the movements that are made. As the user advances in the game, the data obtained from the movements made by the user with the cards will be saved in an Excel file, thus capturing the movements and errors committed by the participant. To visualize the results obtained, a graphical interface is created in the Matlab software that allows loading the Excel file generated by the prototype. In this interface all the movements made by the user in each of the different levels of the game are observed, taking into account both the movements that lead to the solution of the game and the errors that deviate from it. The repetitive movements that the user made are also expressed in this interface and visualized with different colors for each step.","PeriodicalId":242510,"journal":{"name":"Seventh International Conference on Advances in Social Science, Economics and Management Study - SEM 2018","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131411433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
