Pakistan appears less prepared in so far as international logistics is concerned. Analysis of the focus group and archival records suggested that the quantity and quality of the intermodal containers are not sufficient to fulfill the exponentially rising trade needs.

| Colonialization Impacts on the Inhabitants and Voices of Liberal Writers | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Colonialism is a policy in which a strong nation enters a weak territory and starts exploiting the inhabitants of that land for their economic interests.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | In this paper, we analyze the effect of the country's institutional forces on the level of corporate social responsibility disclosure (CSRD) within the companies listed on Pakistan's stock exchange. Numbers of theories (e.g., institutional theory, legitimacy theory) are used to understand the relationship among the formal institutional forces and the level of CSRD. The available assumptions for the regression model were fulfilled in addition to Hausman's test. It was found that the level of CSRD is sensitive to the intensity of various local institutional forces. Such types of institutional forces predict the limits how to understand, build, and maintain the relationship between business and society.
