In today’s world, the interconnection and globalization has become so much increased which led to the concerns regarding the ethical, environmental, social and sustainable issues where consumers are become aware that there should be a balance in the relationship between business and society. It is not the case that now business can only make unprecedented profits by exploiting the resources of mother earth without contributing positively to the society in return.

It is the way of improving and managing the efficiency, usefulness, flexibility, cohesiveness and competitiveness of the company as a whole. As TQM facilitates build a culture of trust, contribution, collaboration, quality excellence, passion for continuous improvement, constant learning and an environment where every stakeholder participates toward company’s prosperity, existence and success (Yusof, & Aspinwall, 2000). Quality control usually being merged quality assurance, but both of them reflect different processes, where quality control inspects the manufactured good regarding its functions and specification, while quality assurance tries to determine the defect free manufacturing process and also eliminates the defected good from the production line. In Snowball Engineering, the quality of automotive parts should be considered as one of the most important aspect in order to become a market leader amongst the automotive parts manufacturers. The quality can only be maintained and improved if the Snowball Engineering emphasizes on key elements of TQM which are mentioned further.

According to World Health Organization’s report upon household air pollution and health (2018), it has been estimated that globally around 3 billion of population uses kerosene and solid fuels (i.e. cow dung, charcoal, wood, coal and crop waste) for cooking food in ineffectual stoves and in open fires. However, the majority of the population lives in rural areas and has low income. As the process of such type of cooking is inefficient which results in producing high level of toxic compounds and gases within the surroundings of household, these gases then directly penetrates into the lungs causing health diseases. Such gases and compound fall into household air pollution or indoor air pollution categories.
This report examined the impact of household air pollution upon the health of household members and the minimizing this impact through usage of efficient cookstoves (i.e. Jaan Pakistan Supreme Stove). The survey was conducted upon the respondents residing in some of the off-grid districts of Pakistan by asking questions regarding their own understandings of danger of household air pollution and feasibility of using efficient biomass fuel combustion technology and its impact upon their lives.

When building-up and handling products for tourism, knowing the travel choices and preferences of subtle markets, just like international students can produce a viable benefit for tourism products. The aim of this study was to discover the travel behavior of international students (Chinese and Indian sub-continental) studying in UK. The study utilized the mixed method approach comprising both quantitative and qualitative research to examine the travel behaviour of international students and to identify the perceived constraints which limits the students’ decision making process for acquiring leisure activity during their studies. With limited time and resources, the survey was conducted on 150 Chinese and Indian Sub-continental students from three major universities and the quantitative data was obtained by using self-administered questionnaire distributed among the students through e-surveys and on-site surveys.

Every start-up begins with an idea which comes into the mind of a person or a group of people to put forward a new or improved product. But the success or collapse of any business heavily depends upon the ability of the owner, resources, decision-making skills, initiatives and innovations.

This sense of innovation then design a business concept which includes information of value of goods, services, core business activities, target market and the means of distributing or providing goods and services into the market segment. In this report, considering all these points, we have put forward an idea to launch an Online Travel Agency which has an aim to target mostly international students in Australia, who are keen to spend their leisure time in travelling without facing any hurdles in arranging these trips.
