Strategic gains of by-product marketing: a study on selected companies of Bangladesh
(© 2012 International Journal of Research in Commerce and Management, 2012-07-02) Khan, Tahsan Rahman; Forkan, Golam Mohammad
Products that are produced during the production process of some other product are commonly known as by-products. In most manufacturing companies one or more by-products are produced along with the primary product. Some companies use these by-products efficiently while others do not. Companies that market by-products appropriately can leverage this ability to acquire competitive advantages. This study attempted to understand the scenario of by-product marketing in Bangladesh through the analysis of a number of RMG companies, i.e., Ananya Fashion Ltd, Barnali Fashion, Florescent Apparels Ltd, Outright Fashion Ltd., Babylon Garments Ltd, Square Fashion Limited and S. Islam Fashions Limited. The study found that culture within most firms is devoid of the initiative that is required to capitalize the opportunity to market by-products. Only one company among the cases observed has pursued by-product marketing with fervor. Two other firms have taken some initiative in this regard but are not realizing the full potential of the by-products. Scenario of two companies’ is average; use of byproducts in the rest of firms studied is negligible.

(© 2014 European Journal of Business and Management, 2014) Khan, Tahsan Rahman; Islam, Md. Rashidul; Choudhury, Tonmoy Toufic; Adnan, Ashique Mahmood
Earnings per Share (EPS) is generally considered most important factor to determine share price and firm value. Literature shows that most of the individual investors take their individual investment decision based on the EPS. This paper attempts to provide empirical evidence on how EPS affect the share price movement. We have collected and analyzed 22 scheduled banks 110 firm year data and found that share price does not move as fast as the EPS move. We also further found that the share price movement depends on micro and macro economic factors on the economy. We suggest that investors must consider other factors as well as EPS in order to invest in the security market.
Family businesses that produce counterfeits: what is stopping them from creating their own brand?
(© 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd, 2012) Khan, Tahsan Rahman
Established brands are prone to attacks by counterfeits, especially in emerging economies where trademark protection laws are loosely enforced. Businesses, usually family owned SMEs, which are engaged in this unscrupulous manufacturing of counterfeits, are capable of creating and developing their own brands. But very few of these firms actually venture out into the legal form of branding. This study tries to understand why firms capable of producing quality products lack the willingness to create their own brands. Through two separate studies conducted in two phases among Bangladeshi producers of counterfeit leather goods and counterfeit car parts the study identifies six factors that contribute to the lack of interest on the counterfeit manufacturers' part to produce original brands.
