مری سانسیں ہوں مشکبار اے کاش!


میری سانسیں ہوں مشک بار اے کاش
راہِ طیبہ کا ہو غبار اے کاش

جس جگہ قدسی ایک بار آئیں
ہم وہاں جائیں بار بار اے کاش

اُنؐ کی دہلیز پر جھکا کر سر
ہم بھی بن جائیں تاجدار اے کاش

اُنؐ کے قدموں سے ہم لپٹ جائیں
پہنچیں جس وقت پل سے پار اے کاش

مجھ سے کہتے ہیں روز و شب میرے
نعت ہی ہو ترا شعار اے کاش

Pleasure versus Virtue Ethics in The Light of Aristotelians and the Utilitarianism of John Stuart Mills and Jeremy Bentham

The question of the end of morality is certainly as old as moral speculation itself. It is this question that prompted Aristotle speculating on moral or character virtue. Moral question is properly a human question since only human beings are expected to act in a given way and are subject to praise and reward or blame and punishment. We should remember that also God and angels are expected to act in a given way, but that would, strictly speaking, be the subject of moral theology and revelation, since without revelation depending only on reason, we cannot examine the acts of God and angels in order to determine how they should act. In short, it is only human beings who can be judged to act morally or immorally if we depend only on human reason, without the support of revelation. In the whole work, Stuart Mills and Jeremy Bentham stick on happiness, though each differ in approaches. Consequentialists are after the greatest happiness of the greatest number, by advocating on the struggle to that which may make man happy and avoid evil by all means. Aristotle on his side is on eudaimonism, where man is found to be happy but moral happy. Happiness for Aristotle should be reasonable, morally good and means should be maintained. This research is analytical by nature, where both qualitative and analytical methods have been implemented throughout the work. The work has been successful though some challenges could not be avoided. Finally, in doing or acting, man should observe virtue; and this is always doing good and avoiding evil.  

Strategic Risk Analysis of Transforming Organization’S Environment: A Case of Textile Sector in Pakistan

This research focuses on the environmental analysis of the textile sector in Pakistan. It identifies and examines the potential risks of internal, external and international dimensions of the organizational environment. This research shows that organizational analysis and management practice in the developing countries has not attended to the complexities and potential risks that are folded in environmental factors. Consequently, the environmental risks and complexities associated with organizational change and development remain unexplored. This thesis identifies these risks and complexities and suggests further that for any successful implementation of transformational change, the identification and management of complexities and risks are essential. To identify and examine the environmental complexities and risks, a study of the textile sector of Pakistan is taken up as a case. This research develops a theoretical as well as methodological framework for examining the context of Pakistan, and focuses on the data collection process in three stages: analysis of the internal environment; analysis of the external and international environment; and a review of the secondary data on the textile sector published by various sources. A set of findings and recommendations are put forward for managing the complexities and risks for a successful implementation of transformational change in the textile sector of Pakistan. The research claims various contributions to existing theory and practice. Firstly, it takes up the context of Pakistan, a developing country, for an analysis of organizational environment. Secondly, this research recommends a detailed examination of the external and international environmental risks and complexities for business organization in the developing countries in general, and the textile sector of Pakistan, in particular. Thirdly, in a similar domain, it identifies a range of complex variables and risks that adversely affect the organization’s transformation process in the textile sector of Pakistan.
