Literature on politics and organizational learning brings to the fore two imperative roles of politics in organizational learning. On the one hand, the traditional literature on the links between organizational politics and organizational learning portrays politics as destructive effects on organizational learning. On the other hand, a few studies have posited organizational politics as a source of enhancing organizational learning. The literature also suggests that in the presence of spaces for creative discourse in organization, employees involve in organizational politics that enhances organizational learning; while the unavailability of discourse can result in politics that is harmful for organizational learning. However, despite invaluable contributions in the literature and practice, the theoretical underpinning and empirical literature on the role of creative in organizational politics and organizational learning is non-existing. By using qualitative case studies of two companies as a research methodology, this study aims to explore the role of creative discourse spaces in shaping organizational politics which is constructive for organizational learning. The key reason to use this methodology is the lack of theory on the links between creative discourse, organizational politics (both constructive and destructive) and organizational learning. As a contribution in theory, the present study will contribute how spaces for creative discourse can affect organizational politics and learning. The study will suggest that organizational politics should not be considered essentially negative for organizational learning. Instead, the managers need to provide employees with spaces for free and open dialogue and discussion and focus on offering them opportunities for experimentation. This would create politics in the form of tensions and contestations and the exploitation of these contestations in ways that are constructive for organizational learning.Item Integrating ICT With SCM : A Case Of Lahore …(Library Information Services COMSATS University Islamaabad Lahore Campus, 2019) Asad Rehman Khan; FA17-RBA-002; Kashif Luqman; LHR TP 5677The most important element that has transformed the way people do their task and live their life is Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

There are some issues which are involved in movements of macro and microeconomic variables. First is inflation, control inflation is benefit for economy.

Second is interest, when interest rates are raised, the cost of borrowing goes up for businesses. Third is monetary policy also big determinants of the kinds of policies that banks are able to pursue within a given country. For instance, if the central bank requires commercial banks to maintain a high level of cash reserves, it results in them having more and more capital get locked up without being put to any productive use. Repo rates being too high is also an issue, the cost at which banks would be borrowing the said funds rises considerably. The impact of this is that banks too end up having to raise interest rates within the economy, in order to remain profitable. There are some effects of micro and macroeconomic variables on the Pakistani banking sector. Impact of inflation on Pakistani banking sector is the first effect.

Government have to make good policies for recovery of loans. Bank loss is not only money loss. It also effects bank attitude and economy of the country.
