A firm has a prospect to surge its assistance for the social order in an interchange of improved repute and development in industry, which finally hints at sturdy fiscal functioning and high productivity. Corporate sustainability is resultant from the perception of sustainable development. It fundamentally mentions toward the part, which corporations can show in gathering the schema of sustainable expansion and necessitates a steady line to financial development, societal evolution, and ecological stewardship. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India emphasizes on anything that ended with returns after they are completed. On the other side, sustainability concerns factoring the societal and ecological influences of directing industry, that is, how revenues are created. Henceforth, ample of the Indian exercise of CSR occurs as a significant constituent of sustainability or accountable industry, which is a greater clue, a statistic obvious from numerous sustainability contexts. The readings on the relationship between CSR and Sustainability by means of monetary functioning include fundamentally two types. The first practices procedure of studying the events to measure the short-run monetary effect (abnormal returns) when organizations involve in their publicly accountable or negligent deeds. The second observes the association among the certain degree of corporate social functioning and variables of long-term financial functioning by using accounting or financial measures of profitability. The objectives of the report are to analyse the impression of CSR proposals of a company on its financial performance, its net profit, and total resources (assets). The data study is done with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and statistical tools such as correlation and regression are used. The correlation coefficient (a value between −1 and +1) states how sturdily two variables are associated with each other. The regression analysis is a statistical procedure used to estimate the consequences of independent variables on a particular dependent variable. After the analysis, it can be concluded that the CSR is positively correlated with the firm’s PAT (profit after tax) and firm’s total resources (assets) and since the significance value is less than 5% in both the cases of regression (CSR with PAT; PAT and CSR with total assets), therefore it is concluded that CSR acts as a major factor and certain additional factors are also answerable for the transformations in the PAT: profit after tax and total assets of the company.
企业有可能在声誉改善和工业发展的交换中增加对社会秩序的援助，这最终意味着稳健的财政功能和高生产率。企业可持续发展是可持续发展观念的产物。它从根本上提到了企业在收集可持续扩张模式时可以表现出来的部分，并且需要一条稳定的金融发展，社会演变和生态管理的路线。印度的企业社会责任(CSR)强调任何以完成后的回报为目的的事情。另一方面，可持续性关注的是指导行业的社会和生态影响，即如何创造收入。从此以后，印度企业社会责任的实践成为可持续性或负责任行业的重要组成部分，这是一个更大的线索，一个从众多可持续性背景中显而易见的统计数据。通过货币功能对企业社会责任与可持续发展之间关系的解读基本上包括两种类型。第一种做法是研究事件的过程，以衡量当组织涉及其公开负责或疏忽行为时的短期货币效应(异常回报)。第二种是通过使用盈利能力的会计或财务度量来观察企业一定程度的社会功能与长期财务功能变量之间的关联。该报告的目的是分析企业社会责任提案对其财务业绩，净利润和总资源(资产)的印象。数据研究使用SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Sciences)软件，并使用相关和回归等统计工具。相关系数(- 1和+1之间的值)表示两个变量之间的关联程度。回归分析是一种统计过程，用于估计自变量对特定因变量的影响。经过分析，可以得出企业社会责任与企业税后利润(PAT)和企业总资源(资产)呈正相关的结论，因为在两种回归情况下，显著性值都小于5% (CSR与PAT;PAT和CSR与总资产)，因此得出结论，企业社会责任是一个主要因素，某些额外的因素也可以解释PAT的转变:税后利润和公司的总资产。

Asia has many significant players in the global apparel market, contributing more than half of the apparel output. There is stiff competition between eight countries within the region to capture the market share—China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. Using raw data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys, a two-stage analysis was conducted for each country—in the first stage efficiency scores were computed using data envelopment analysis, and in the second stage factors influencing efficiency were identified using tobit regression and disaggregate comparison. The results revealed a poor efficiency performance across countries, but the drivers varied between them. It was observed that smaller firms performed better and there was a need to revamp quality certification and training modules to promote competitiveness.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has emerged as the biggest threat to human life. It has changed the entire lifestyle of human beings concerning their emotional stability and cognitive development. Enjoyment is one of the emotions and acts as a positive stimulus that a consumer used to feel and seeks for a balanced life. Since the nationwide lockdown was implemented on March 25, 2020, people have turned restless about how to enjoy themselves at home, as all of their options of going out were being shattered. It was the time when continuous innovations in the form of digital content through over-the-top (OTT) platforms flourished and provided an affordable and diversified entertainment source to consumers. These OTT services help consumers to view the contents via the Internet directly. Furthermore, it has drastically changed people’s preferences toward diversified content based on their choices. This study aims to explore the various determinants affecting consumer satisfaction toward the OTT platforms amid COVID-19 crisis in India. The study’s main findings revealed that among the demographic variables, age group of the consumer largely influences their satisfaction toward OTT platforms. Moreover, work from home, affordability, convenience, and content quality are the significant determinants affecting consumer satisfaction levels toward OTT platforms. The study is relevant to the current marketing scenario, as it provides useful insights for the content developers of the major OTT platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Voot, and many others to enhance the consumer satisfaction in the terms of digital content consumption.

The present study investigates and compares the co-movement between four asset classes namely Crude, Gold, Nifty 50 Stock Index, and Rupee–Dollar Exchange Rate during the two crisis periods viz. the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and the COVID-19 Crisis. The methodology employed for ascertaining inter-relationship includes the Johansen Co-integration technique and Toda & Yamamoto Causality model. Besides this, the entire model has been set up under the VAR Framework with Variance Decomposition and Impulse Responses giving useful insight into the relationship among the stated variables. The results of the study, however, failed to identify any co-integration among the assets during any of the two crisis periods, however, there was evidence of short-run cause–effect relation among some of the variables. The causality flow was uni-directional from Nifty 50 to both crude and exchange rate in Period I (GFC Period) while in Period II (COVID-19 Crisis Period) it was bi-directional between Gold and Nifty 50. Causality was also seen from Foreign Exchange to Gold in Period II. Further ADF Breakpoint showed all the variables were I(1) stationary and the VAR Model was also proved stable as shown by AR Characteristics Root Plots. The impulses showed that Period II or COVID-19 Crisis Period retained the innovations of other variables for a longer duration than Period I (GFC Period).

The growth in Ecommerce has transformed warehouse and distribution centers to mega-fulfilment centers. The focus is increasingly on innovative storage solutions, better tracking mechanisms coupled with technology and training. Companies who do not realize this have little chance of surviving (Rachid Fergati, MD Indian subcontinent, UPS). The purpose of this case is to highlight the process, people, and operations improvements undertaken by an Indian e-commerce giant with the help of the research team at the CII School of Logistics for enhanced efficiency and customer service. The researchers spent 50 days onsite (at the company’s warehouse located in Binola) observing the processes, identifying issues, providing solutions, and tracking and recording improvements as per the action research methodology (Reason, 2001). Thus, two-fold objectives were achieved: (a) improved cost efficiency and material handling processes in the warehouse and (b) knowledge building in the strategic operations management area. The case is a representative illustration of how the Indian logistics industry is moving from fragmented, unorganized, and inefficient systems to a more organized, structured sector in an ultra-competitive global space.

Doctors today have very little time to listen to a medical representative. They have become patient-centric and feel that listening to a medical representative is a waste of their time. Wishing to learn what could make a doctor prescribe a drug when visited by the medical representative, I drew up a questionnaire consisting of product-centric variables and non-product-based variables. The questionnaire had six variables, which had to be ranked from 1 to 6, with 1 being the most important and 6 being the least important. The variables were easy availability, economical drugs, company name, sponsorships, medical representative’s dedication, and samples among the non-product-based variables and safety, efficacy, tried and tested, less drug interactions, good reviews of the drug, and less adverse effects among the product-based factors. A total of 100 doctors were interviewed. A personal interview was conducted wherein the questionnaire was direct and structured. The results were such that in Thurstone Case V Scaling, economical drugs were considered as the most effective way to get doctors to prescribe, followed by easy availability, company name, medical rep dedication, samples, and sponsorships among the non-product-centric factors, whereas in the product-centric factors, it included efficacy, followed by time tested, less adverse effects, safety, less drug interactions, and good drug reviews. In Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation, it was found that a high, positive correlation existed between economical drugs and efficacious drugs and a medium, positive correlation existed between economical drugs and safe drugs. Similarly, a medium–high correlation existed between company name and time-tested drugs.

Today social networking sites (SNS) are one of the most popular and extensively used platforms. These SNSs are now acting as a strong medium of social expression and are changing the way people are acting and reacting to the information flow on these sites. Therefore, in this context, the current study tries to identify how SNS engagement of the people is affecting their online political participation and further how it impacts their rational political decision-making strategy. The resource model of political participation and the social exchange theory are undertaken as a guiding theoretical framework of this study. Survey method was used to collect data from university students across the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir. PLS SEM has been used for data analysis. The paper concludes by putting up the major findings of the study along with theoretical and practical implications.

This research article determines the most adopted and used technology by common public and end consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic and tries to determine the technologies that will continue to see increased adoption rate beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines examples of how digital technologies and services have been employed in daily lives of individuals and enterprises/businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. We have used responses to the survey built using Google Forms as the method for data collection. The study undertaken was exploratory in nature to identify the most adopted and used technology among common public during the COVID-19 pandemic. We used descriptive statistics, R-test, R-squared test, and ANOVA for the study. The results show that video-based collaboration technology-related services had the highest adoption and usage among respondents, followed by process automation, mobile/web-based services and microservices, and artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics. As an implication of the study, businesses can focus upon technologies such as video-based collaboration technology, process automation, mobile/web-based services and microservices, and AI and analytics—in that order—to roll out new services and models while dealing with their end customers and prospects, during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

In today’s age and times, one wants to know as to which method will suit best for a performance appraisal. Are the traditional methods still good, or does one have to shift to the newer methods or the modern methods? Also, whether any correlation existed between the traditional forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion and the modern forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion. The study was conducted on 50 managers from different service organizations across the state of Goa. A random direct structured questionnaire was utilized wherein a personal interview was conducted. The findings were such that the highest ranked method of performance appraisal desired by the service managers was the 360-degree method followed by management by objectives (MBO) and assessment centers. A high negative correlation existed between traditional forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion and a medium positive correlation between modern forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion. This meant that although the modern forms of performance appraisal were desired by managers, they did not feel the need to use them when it came to giving promotions to the employees.

A high negative correlation existed between traditional forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion and a medium positive correlation between modern forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion. This meant that although the modern forms of performance appraisal were desired by managers, they did not feel the need to use them when it came to giving promotions to the employees.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114729825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various macroeconomic and microeconomic factors influence household expenditure. This study thus attempts to establish long-run and short-run relationships among consumption, credit, capital formation, and current account deficit (CAD). By applying autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) and Granger causality models, results of the study suggest that capital formation is the primary factor influencing consumption in the long run. It must be noted that consumption-led growth post 2000 was financed by rise in credit. Imports will rise in response to rising GDP and rising exports, and the main cause of CAD has been a persistent trade account deficit. In this article, pre-COVID-19 macroeconomic conditions have been studied.
