TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of industry appropriability on firm outcomes (innovativeness and performance) and posits technology orientation as a dynamic capability that helps firms overcome appropriability barriers in their industry.
Abstract: Purpose – Industry appropriability – the degree to which firms in an industry can appropriate benefits from their innovations – is a crucial dimension of industry environment. Small and medium manufacturing enterprises (manufacturing SMEs), because of their limited resource base, tend to be especially sensitive to the appropriability conditions in their industry. The purpose of this paper is to understand the influence of industry appropriability on firm outcomes (innovativeness and performance), and posits technology orientation as a dynamic capability that helps firms overcome appropriability barriers in their industry. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 162 manufacturing SMEs in India. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings – This study reveals that the perceived level of appropriability of manufacturing SMEs impacts their innovativeness. Further, findings also support technology orientation as a crucial firm-specific characteristic wh...

TL;DR: The findings suggest that IS leaders’ hierarchical position and their job tenure significantly differentiate CASE adopters from non-adopters and relative advantage has two dimensions – namely, perceived efficacy advantage and perceived efficiency advantage – and IS leader’ evaluation of the perceived effectiveness advantage of CASE differentiates adopter organizations fromNon-adopter organizations.
Abstract: While there is a rich body of literature on information system (IS) innovations, there is a limited understanding of the role IS leaders’ individual factors and their appraisals of technological factors play in organizations’ adoption of IS innovations. We address these gaps in the IS literature by focusing on an IS process innovation – namely, computer-aided software engineering (CASE) – which is targeted at the core activities of systems development/maintenance in IS departments. We specifically examine how organizations’ CASE adoption decision is impacted by (1) two individual factors of IS leaders (i.e., leaders’ hierarchical position and job tenure) and (2) their perceptions of technological factors (i.e., relative advantage and technological complexity of CASE). Data were gathered from IS leaders at 350 organizations in the United States using a national cross-sectional survey. The findings suggest that IS leaders’ hierarchical position and their job tenure significantly differentiate CASE adopters from non-adopters. IS leaders at lower levels of the organizational hierarchy and with shorter job tenure made the adoption decisions in adopter organizations, while IS leaders at higher levels of the organizational hierarchy and with longer job tenure made the adoption decisions in non-adopter organizations. The findings also reveal that relative advantage has two dimensions – namely, perceived efficacy advantage and perceived efficiency advantage – and IS leaders’ evaluation of the perceived efficacy advantage of CASE differentiates adopters from non-adopters. The study has important implications for our theoretical and practical understanding of the factors related to IS leaders that are influential in the organizational adoption of IS innovations.

TL;DR: This paper illustrates the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) with the help of vector auto regression in measuring internal supply chain performance in dynamic environment to demonstrate that lagged effects can lead to changes in efficiency scores, rankings, and efficiency classification.
Abstract: Purpose – A variety of tools are available to measure supply chain efficiency, but there are a few methods available for assessing efficiency in dynamic environments. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the use of data envelopment analysis (DEA) with the help vector auto regression in measuring internal supply chain performance in dynamic environment. Design/methodology/approach – Two DEA models were developed – the static DEA that is traditional DEA methodology and the dynamic DEA. The models are further enhanced with scenario analysis to derive more meaningful business insights for managers in making benchmarking and resource planning decisions. Findings – The results demonstrate that lagged effects can lead to changes in efficiency scores, rankings, and efficiency classification. So, using static DEA models in dynamic environment can be potentially misleading. Using impulse response analysis it has been seen that shocks given to marketing strategy in MR affects more at each of the decision-makin...

TL;DR: In this article, an attempt to evaluate the investment pattern of FIIs' investment and its relation to the stock market return in the Indian stock market has been made and daily data from January 2003 to June 2014 has been collected and analyzed with vector auto regression and multivariate regression models.
Abstract: Liberalization of financial markets in emerging economies usually leads to an increase in the foreign ownership of the host country’s stocks. Heavy investment of these foreign investors may have deep impact on host country’s stock market. The motivation for this study is to understand the investment pattern of foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and their trading behavior, and its impact on the stock market. The present study is an attempt to evaluate the investment pattern of FIIs’ investment and its relation to the stock market return in the Indian stock market. Daily data from January 2003 to June 2014 has been collected and analyzed with vector auto regression and multivariate regression models. The results of the study suggest the prevalence of unintentional herding among FIIs that creates short term volatility in the Indian stock market. FIIs’ herding tendency is more intense on the buy-side rather than the sell side. Although the impact of FIIs’ herding creates short-term volatility, it may still impede the price efficiency of the stock market.

TL;DR: A structural model is proposed to capture relationships among these factors for development of Impact Relationship Maps (IRM) by applying Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Maximum Mean De-Entropy (MMDE) algorithm.
Abstract: Any selection decision of supply chain coordination schemes (SCCS) is essentially affected by the environment where the schemes are to be implemented, the necessary conditions required for their implementation, the risk associated with the implementation, and the impact on the performance of the supply chain. Because of the multi-dimensional characteristics; the selection of appropriate SCCS in a given situation remains a challenging task for supply chain managers. This study explores relevant factors that influence this selection process. A structural model is proposed to capture relationships among these factors for development of Impact Relationship Maps (IRM) by applying Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Maximum Mean De-Entropy (MMDE) algorithm. A study has been conducted and the outcome leads to add significant value to the decision making process with knowledge on the roles of the factors and inter-factor relations which helps in taking meaningful decision on SCCS selection and implementation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors have made a serious attempt and offered a few suggestions to re-engineer the management education in India and argued and presented a case for educators and educational administrators to take a fresh look at the course curriculum, andragogy, and students' learning outcomes of management education.
Abstract: Mintzberg (2004) in his book Managers not MBAs has noted that an MBA course tends to focus on analytical skills, and hence, prepares students for nothing. Ghosal (2005) has noted that bad management theories were destroying good management practices. Bennis and O'Toole (2005) have attributed the failure to produce relevant research to business schools' obsession for scientific research and hiring professors with limited organisational experience, who end up producing research and teaching that is not relevant to managers and organisations outside. The issue of 'irrelevance' of management education is more acutely experienced in India as business schools in India tend to rely on the Western world even for the text books. It is high time to revitalise management education in India by contextualising both course curriculum and andragogy. This paper has made a serious attempt and offered a few suggestions to re-engineer the management education in India. The author has argued and presents a case for educators and educational administrators to take a fresh look at the course curriculum, andragogy, and students' learning outcomes of management education in India.

TL;DR: This paper examined the upside and downside risk spillover effects between the GIPSI economies (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy) and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey using a kernel-based test.
Abstract: In this article, we examine the upside and downside risk spillover effects between the GIPSI economies (Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy) and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey using a kernel-based test as proposed by Hong et al. (2009). The results reveal that there exists a two-way as well as one-way downside risk spillover for most of the pairs between the GIPSI economies and Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. However, we find significant two-way upside risk spillover effects between Egypt and Ireland, Italy, and Spain. The one-way upside risk spillover is significant only from Ireland, Italy, and Spain to Egypt.

TL;DR: In this paper, an exploratory study was carried out by interviewing, interacting, and sharing of experiences by as many as 64 cold storage operators spanning from various districts of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh.
Abstract: This paper attempted to study the performance of channel distribution in cold storage operations and inter-alia issues in an attempt to give new insights into cold storage operations. An exploratory study was carried out by interviewing, interacting, and sharing of experiences by as many as 64 cold storage operators spanning from various districts of Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. The comparison of operations of cold storage in these two states brought forth that channel distribution plays an important role in maintaining and delivery of perishable products from cold storage to retail markets. The study is expected to assist in creating insights on issues relevant to the involvement of channel intermediaries in cold storage operations.
