Sharecropping in a North Indian Village

Abstract: This article presents a case study of sharecropping in a north Indian village. Drawing on a detailed survey of tenancy relations in the village, it examines a number of issues that have received prominent attention in the literature, including the motives for tenancy, the choice of tenancy contract, the rationale for equal shares, the relationship between tenant and landlord, the efficiency of sharecropping, and interlinkage. The wider implications of this case study are also discussed.

Monitoring and measuring intangibles using value maps: some examples

Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide an integrated approach to understand and monitor those intangible assets (IAs) that are the key value drivers of an organization. With the help of three different examples, it attempts to examine the cause‐and‐effect relationship among different intangibles and map them to organizational success.Design/methodology/approach – System thinking approach using examples from three different industries.Findings – The paper finds that the success of any organization depends on a network of interrelated IAs that affect each other and the crux is to ensure that each of these is performing as desired. The use of a causal model clearly demonstrates the cause‐and‐effect relationships between key variables and ultimate objectives, and helps companies identify which intangibles need to be constantly monitored using suitable indicators to achieve the desired goals.Research limitations/implications – The models have not been verified in practice.Practical implications – Us...

Intellectual capital and corporate performance: a case of Indian banks

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore and explain the linkage between intellectual capital (IC) efficiency of banks and their performance. Design/methodology/approach In total, 39 public and private banks listed in Bombay Stock Exchange from 1999 to 2015 were considered for the study. Panel fixed effects technique is used to draw inferences. Findings Results of the study provide evidence of positive association between IC and performance of banks; however, only human capital and structural capital have shown instances of significant positive linkage with banks performance. The results also indicate that the IC efficiency of private sector banks is better than public sector banks in India. Practical implications This study may enable Indian banking firms to measure their IC efficiency and develop policies to promote and improve upon their intellectual potential to enhance banks performance. Originality/value It is a novel study in Indian context that considers interaction variables in extending the prior understanding of the role of IC in enhancing banks performance, which may build sustainable advantage for banks in emerging economies like India.
