Concerning the methodology, this study has used a descriptive research design to investigate the economic status of five industrial public enterprises over a ten-year period using secondary data. A convenience sampling method was used to select the sample from 44 public enterprises. Descriptive statistics such as percentages and means were used to fulfill the first objective, while financial ratio analysis was used for the second objective. The five enterprises studied are Dairy Development Corporation, Herbs Production and Processing Company Ltd., Hetauda Cement Industry Ltd., Nepal Ausadhi Ltd., and Udaypur Cement Industries Ltd. In regards to the conclusion of the general objective, the number of industrial public enterprises appears to grow during the study period, some of which are jointly owned by the government and private sector. However, regarding the first specific objective, the contribution of these enterprises to GDP and employment seems to decrease over the years. It turns out that there is a fluctuation in the contributions to income tax and VAT which amount to less than 1 percent of the total. Regarding the second objective, most enterprises seem to have net losses except for HPPCL, which has better profitability ratios. Likewise, it appears that DDC has better efficiency ratios. Other enterprises seem to have unsatisfactory financial performance. As for the challenges, pricing dilemmas, management issues, financial indiscipline, poor competition strategy, low investment in technology, and inefficient resource utilization seems to attribute to the poor performance of the enterprises. Thus, this study has highlighted the growth, composition, contributions, and performance of industrial public enterprises by addressing the sectoral and time gap. 2023-03-01T00:00:00Z http://eibrary.ratnarajyalaxmicampus.edu.np:8080/handle/123456789/145 Title: Macroeconomics Authors: Abel, Andrew B.; Bernanke, Ben S. 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z http://eibrary.ratnarajyalaxmicampus.edu.np:8080/handle/123456789/126 Title: Clash of Classes in Anton Chekhov's Selected Stories Authors: Kandel, Sitaram Abstract: The focus of this research is in the area of clashes in small coterie of family or close circle such as lovers and co-workers determined by economic hegemony or class consciousness in the selected stories of Anton Chekhov. Such a study is important in order to see how have the characters in the stories of Chekhov been psychologically and socially influenced by economic hegemony. The stories selected in this project do not cover the large spectrum of class conflict, production and distribution as loudly discussed from the perspective of Marxism. The research approach adopted in this thesis includes realism intermingling economy and its impact upon behavior. The finding from this research provides an idea that characters in the stories of Chekhov are bound to ruin their sagacity and rational thinking due to economic phenomena. Even the family members cannot be together in some cases. When the poor fail to fight against the rich, they want mercy and love from the rich instead of fighting against the rich. To take a reference, in Chekhov‟s story, “On the Road” Liharev was in the movement of abolition of private property five years ago but later he expects love and kindness from them instead of fighting against them. The main conclusion drawn from this study is that an ideal view of people about good treatment to each other is not feasible in reality keeping economic matter aside. This thesis asserts that classless society as imagined by Marx is a utopian concept because characters‟ tussle in the stories of Chekhov is not only between the rich and the poor but between the poor too. Imposing ideal view about fair treatment to each other without solving fundamental economic problem seems baseless.
