Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my beloved parents, Ibrahimbhai and Halimben. Without their emotional support and love it was not possible for me to study and research this valuable prospect of my life. I also remember my maternal uncle Kifaytullah, unfortunately he is not with us in this world and left his remembrance behind. He actually had dreamed for me to study in London for my MBA.
