Late 1990s Online businesses were opening up in each and every corner around the world. All the business activities, logistics, processing, selling and even payments were completed online. The study has identified that the recent trend in the online business in today’s business world is to search online and purchase offline. Hence website is the one that locks in the customer. An effective website should provide information what the customer is looking for, to give total customer satisfaction. This paper was conducted to fill the void in the research area on the online presence of public quoted companies in Sri Lanka. It was revealed that as Fortune 500s’ websites, majority of Sri Lankan company websites also are informational but the quality of way in which the content provided by them is questionable.Item Labour Market Distortions in Sri Lanka: Have they reduced under liberalised economic policies?(Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2005) Patabendige, A.J.Item An Empirical Study of the Relationship between Organizational Stress and Emotional Intelligence on Organizational Commitment: With Reference to Bank Branch Managers in the Western Province of Sri Lanka(Proceedings of the Annual Research Symposium 2005-Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya, 2005) Jayaweera, A.T.Item Celebrity advertising and consumer behavior(Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, 2006) Weerasiri, R.A.S.; Wanninayake, W.M.C.B.Item Yoga in managing the emotions and stress in executives(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Pragadeeswaran, S.; Panchanatham, N.Item Women managers in Sri Lanka: their perception of barriers to career development(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Tennakoon, T.M.K.P.Item Creating a staff development and a succession plan for Sri Lankan university system(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Shantha, A.T.H.S.Item Determinants of group cohesiveness in military units in Sri Lanka(Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, 2006) Gunasekere, U.L.T.P.Item Labor supply behavior and unemployment: will the forecasted decrease in labor supply solve the unemployment in Sri Lanka(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Patabandige, A.J.Item An investigation of dividend policy behavior and information content of dividends in selected countries(2006) Peter, P.L.S.; Bamunuarachchi, G.K.Any company that essentially exists with the objective of maximizing the wealth of its shareholders is faced with the choice of either paying dividends now or reinvest now to pay later. This choice forms the background for the dividend policy decision that defines the time pattern of dividend payout.Numerous theoretical and empirical publications have kept dividend policy in its prominent status in corporate finance literature. Studies on dividend policy have been applied on companies listed in stock markets of both developed and developing countries.Employing meta-analysis that combines the results of several studies conducted on capital markets of a selected sample of countries, this paper analyses the dividend policy behavior of countries around the world in terms of dividend policy stability and the information content of dividend announcements. The paper concludes that the state of development of the country does have an impact on the dividend policy stability as companies in more matured markets in developed countries tend to maintain dividend stability although companies in emerging markets of developing countries have been unable to do so. On the other hand with respect to information content of dividend announcements it is evident that dividends have significant information content in all share markets and that on average all markets react negatively to surprise decreases in dividends which is more than proportionate to the positive reaction to surprise increases in dividends. Further it can be concluded that emerging markets take considerable time to fully incorporate information contained in dividend announcements while in mature markets it is less so. Mature markets tend to be more inline with the market efficiency hypothesis with respect to dividend announcements. As future research an investigation of dividend policy behavior and information content of dividends in a Sri Lankan context is to be conducted.Item The Z dimension of X and Y theories(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Degamboda, S.Item Building fast tracking stars: towards a HR strategy for value creation and business competitiveness(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Ranasinghe, S.Item Work family conflict: An empirical study of ten star classified hotels in Sri Lanka(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Jayaweera, A.T.Item Factors affecting knowledge sharing in Thai SMEs(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Sala-Ngarm, R.; Dimmitt, N.; Siengthai, S.; Tang, J.C.S.Item Aligning organizational cultures with national culture: an overview(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Senaratne, C.Item The marketing trends of Sri Lankan tea exportation(Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka, 2006) Wanninayake, W.M.C.B.; Dissanayake, D.M.R.Item Employee commitment and excellence of total quality management: An empirical investigation of fifteen manufacturing companies(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Wickramaratne, W.P.R.Item Buddhism: The forgotten thought of the literature of humen resources management(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Dissanayake, D.R.Item A study of the effect of the levels of collective bargaining on bargaining scope: evidence from selected 24 private sector firms in Sri Lanka(University of Kelaniya, 2006) Gamage, P.N.
