The productivity growth has an important linkage with economic growth and standard of living. It not only increases output but also improves the efficiency level of firms/industries through better utilization of factors of production, and therefore public policies aim at improving productivity....

The choice of the right cement brand is challenging since cement is the main building material used in civil engineering projects. As a result, its demand is quite high. Two companies, Lafarge and Zambezi Portland Cement, have controlled Zambia's cement market for the past twenty years. Cement...

Fly ash has been used as cementitious materials for solid waste immobilization. However, fly ash typically contains the hazardous elements Se, Cr, As, and B, and the leachability of these anions is a concern for its reuse. In this study, five amino acids were selected as models of simplified...

The working fluid in geothermal wells often contains naturally occurring CO2. In an aqueous environment, CO2 forms carbonic acid and subsequently reacts with the binding components of cement, resulting in the loss of strength and early failure. Well cement formulations containing hydroxyapatite...

Financial performance is an important aspect which influences the long term stability, profitability, liquidity and turnover of an organization. The Evaluation of financial performance using Ratio Analysis, Trend Analysis had been taken up for the study with “Cement Companies”. The analysis...

This paper briefly reviews part of the recent decision of the Supreme Court in B.P.E v Dangote Cement Plc wherein the apex court reiterated the old common law position to wit that a collective agreement is not enforceable except where it has been incorporated into the contract of employment by...

Purpose: Cement is a major construction material used in civil engineering works due to which its demand is very high. The consumers and suppliers of the cement market may feel that every brand they are buying and selling is of good quality. The study has been focused to assess the consumption...

The average price of cement in Africa was the highest of any continent in 2011, but by 2017 it had fallen by 35 percent, the largest decline in the world, according to data from the International Comparison Program. An empirical industry equilibrium model distinguishes between the fundamental...

The aim of the investigation was to evaluate the feasibility of mixing fly ash in cement to make mortar specimens for getting an agreeable compressive Strength of the mortar. Different proportions of cement and fly ash were tried at laboratory-scale, utilizing dry fly ash at 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%,...

In the present investigation, the effects of superplaticizer on deflection and cracking of reinforced cement concrete beams were observed. Two variables, namely, grade of concrete and percentage of reinforcement were considered. Conplast-P211 was employed as superplaticizing admixture. Two...

Objective - The main concern of this article is to see if the implementation of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can lead to enterprise performance.Methodology/Technique - A case study, this paper aims to compare the economic, social and environmental performance of one of the biggest...

This paper aims at assessing the return on investment and carbon mitigation potentials of five investment alternatives for the Cuban cement industry in a long-term horizon appraisal (15 years). Anticipated growing demand for cement, constrained supply and an urgent need for optimisation of...

This study aims to find out the factors influencing the practices specially implementation of Activity Based Accounting (ABC) in the cement sector of Pakistan. The study is based on primary data collected through convenience sampling technique. Closed ended questionnaire has been used as data...

Demand forecasts form the basis of all supply chain planning. The supply chain decisions made before demand has materialized are made to a forecast. Forecasting may involve taking historical data and projecting them into the future with some mathematical model. Good forecasts are of critical...

A challenge for many cartels is avoiding a destabilizing increase in non-cartel supply in response to having raised price. In the case of the German cement cartel that operated over 1991-2002, the primary source of non-cartel supply was imports from Eastern European cement manufacturers....

Cement industry is among the most energy-intensive economic sectors. Moreover, significant amounts of carbon dioxide are released to the atmosphere as a result of Portland clinker combustion process, where carbonates (limestone, marl) are the main raw materials applied. To offset the harmful...

The purpose of this study is to investigate and explain the review of cement processing and its impact on cement manufacturing emissions on the environment. For instance, the cement industry is contributing in global warming and climate change in the world. The processes of cement manufacturing...

This paper investigates to explain that Cement Industry is an important component of Economic sector in Pakistan which has a substantial impact on the financial stability and economic development in the country. The cement production was a small industry in the early days of Pakistan but with...

We hypothesize a particular source of cartel instability and explore its relevance to understanding cartel dynamics. The cartel instability is rooted in the observation that, upon cartel formation, the relative positions of firms are often fixed which may lead some growthconscious members to be...

We use publicly available price data from the German cement industry to estimate the cartelinduced price increase. We apply two different comparator-based approaches - the 'before and-after' approach and the 'difference-in-differences' approach - and especially study the impact of various...

We use a unique private data set of about 340,000 invoice positions from 36 smaller and larger customers of German cement producers to study the value of such transaction data for an estimation of cartel damages. In particular, we investigate, first, how structural break analysis can be used to...
