Abstract: In this research, we examined the relationship between determinants of satisfaction (environmental factors, price, utilitarian criteria, factors of atmosphere and peripheral services) and satisfaction, on one hand, and the relation between satisfaction, access and the level of attendance on the other hand. So, we used in this research, simple linear regression and logistics regression. We chose conveniently, the customers of Tunisian supermarkets and hypermarkets to answer our quiz.

Keywords – access, level of supermarkets and hypermarkets's attendance, logistic, regressions, satisfaction

Abstract: The paper explains the mechanism of Reverse Mergers in great detail. It deals with an explanation of Reverse Mergers, their advantages over traditional IPO route, the actual process involved in a reverse merger and SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) of this method. Further, the paper discusses the global scenario with respect to this mechanism, particularly in countries like United States and China where it is highly preferred for public listing. The paper also details this concept with respect to its acceptance in our country, India, where traditional methods like IPOs are losing relevance and newer faster methods for public listing and fund raising are gaining importance with each passing year. For greater understanding, some case studies have been used spanning various companies which have taken this route for public listing and have reaped great benefits from it. The paper also highlights the ill effects attached with Reverse Mergers if not done properly and without enough checks and audits.
