Owing to its close relationship with production, technology and governance, industrial exports have considerable effects on countries ’economy. Export is affected by several factors and there are abundance of studies and theories in this field; however, the effect of institutional factors on exportation has not received much appropriate attention. This study, therefore, investigates the effect of corruption control indicator, as a key institutional component, on exportation of industrial products using Panal data. Furthermore, the population consists of 14 developing countries during the period 2002–2012. The results of the estimation model confirm the positive and significant effect of corruption control on export industries of the selected countries. Along with explanatory variable of the corruption control, the variables of exchange rate and income were examined as well, which indicate the negative and significant effect of the real exchange rate and positive and significant effect of countries ’income on export industries. The results of the present study demonstrate that in these countries, in order to have an appropriate plan for the development of industrial exports from policymakers, proper assessment of institutional components like corruption control must be taken into account.

Global warming has created havoc among the nations. Melting of Arctic at an alarming speed, rising sea level, shrinking of cryosphere and death of polar bears are serious indications of global climatic change. Millions of questions are being raised on the sustainability of ozone which saves the earth from greenhouse effect. It is high time for all of us to think of alternatives to mitigate global warming. Climate change impact can be avoided, reduced, or delayed if an effective global climate change mitigation policy is agreed upon and implemented. Basically, there are two approaches to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions: command and control approach and incentivebased approach (i.e., cap-and-trade program and carbon tax program). This paper emphasizes on carbon tax program for mitigating CO2 and other gaseous emissions. It also considers carbon tax as the best approach over other approaches to combat global warming. The paper also highlights the scope for implementation of carbon tax in the Indian subcontinent and computes reduction of emissions for different scenarios based on the projected consumption pattern, with the assumed changes in carbon tax and the present tax rate. The proportion of reduction from the current tax scenario has been computed to provide an impression of the relative change with the change in taxation.

The retail sector has been growing drastically over the years and there are a large number of shopping malls and various other retail formats coming up in Metros, Tier I and II cities giving strong competition to the existing ones. Because of this, the retailers are the main focus today and they are totally engrossed in knowing their customer and consumer. Therefore, the behaviour of an important sector of the young consumer group, college students, is worth to be researched. Retailers trying to find variables that influence shoppers’ impulsive buying urge to buy implausibly. With the help of this study, the researcher tried to analyse the impulsive buying behaviour pattern of the consumer.

This study examined the relationship between a number of corporate governance (CG) variables and organizational performance in State Bank of India. It adopts quantitative methodological framework through which the primary data collected were analysed using both frequency analysis and structural equation modelling techniques to find the relationship between CG and organizational performance on one hand and the degree of relationship between CG and organizational performance. It was found that all CG variables used for the study had positive association with performance. Organisations are encouraged to adopt good CG practices to improve their performance and also to protect the interest of the shareholders. The main contribution of the study to acknowledge lies in its effort in strengthening CG beyond the rights and responsibilities of different stakeholders in the management of an organisation into areas involving the relationship between participation, evaluation, fiscal compliance, transparency, disclosure and organisational performance (OP) (productive, independent verification and branch growth). This contribution has in no small measure enhanced our understanding about the interpretations which have shaped CG in relation to OP both in theory and practice.

Imparting training to employees has become part and parcel for every organization to endure in cut-throat competition. Merely training the employees is not enough but due heed should be given to know how the employee perceives the training programmes, organized by the management. The present study was conducted to ascertain the attitude of employees towards various aspects of training namely, management's attitude, selection process, quality of training, impact on individuals, impact on productivity and post-training assessment. A sample of 300 respondents from top three performing banks namely ICICI, HDFC and Axis of Delhi – NCR was taken. An opinion survey was undertaken wherein multistage and judgemental sampling was used. The findings suggest that by and large, most of the employees were satisfied with various aspects of training.

A new scaled-down teaching practice approach in small class size and time called micro-teaching prior to real classroom teaching was introduced by student teachers in a collaborative form in the College of Education, Eritrea to see its effects on real ground of school teaching, Eritrea. Teaching skills, classroom management and professional ethics were the focusing areas under the present study. Much improved teaching areas with skillful art among student teachers were preparing and following lesson plan (92%), developing confidence (77%), presenting lesson in an organised way (72%), professional personality with behavior (71%), punctuality (68%) and other necessary activities and responsibilities observed by the present study after two weeks experience of independent teaching in schools initiated through collaborative micro-teaching as the root drive. However, classroom management abilities under much improved category were only 36% due to big challenge of class size difference between real class and micro-teaching class.

A number of investment strategies designed to maximise portfolio growth are tested on a long run Indian equity market. The application of the optimal portfolio techniques produces impressive rate of growth, despite the assumptions of normality. Optimal portfolios are constructed by rebalancing the portfolio weights of four indices and 10 sectors of National stock exchange indices (NIFTY). Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the optimality of the portfolio in the NSE and examine hypothesis of the application of efficient market. Research limitations/implications – Thesample of stocks isnot large in spiteof its comprehensiveness fromthelocal stock market aspect.
