In the post-economic reform era the concept Systematic Investment Plan has emerged as a new tool for investment. Stock market plays a very vital role in developing economy like India. Investment through the mutual fund has become one of the investment avenues for the small investors and also attracting the rural people in recent years. Investors usually perceive that all capital market investment avenues are risky. Based on objectives and risk bearing capacities, investors go for different investment alternatives. Among the various investment possibilities, mutual fund seems to be viable for all kind of investors as it is considered to be a safer mode of investment. This study is an attempt to understand the performance of share market and to analyse the correlation of performance of mutual funds with market indices like Sensex and Nifty. As a part of this study, data is collected regarding performance of mutual funds and stock market for the last year 2007–2008, 2008–2009 and 2009–2010. Top five mutual fund (growth) and 10 index funds are taken as sampling. Thus, it is analysed by using statistical tools such as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, correlation and testing hypotheses.

Debt finance plays a vital role in corporate sector. It is needed by industries whether they are in promotional, operational or expansion stages. Corporate firms generally use debt funds extensively, as the owner's fund does not suffice to meet their needs. For growth, modernisation, expansion and diversification purposes, companies borrow funds from external sources. Debt has played an important role in the Indian corporate sector, more specifically in the private sector. From both financial and non-financial point of view, debt is advantageous to business concerns. Debt is financially better, because it is cheaper and non-financially it does not disturb controlling power and provide flexibility. Corporations generally raise debt funds in the forms of debentures, public deposits, finance from commercial banks and financial institutions and as trade credit and accruals. Debenture is an important source of debt finance. It has played a vital role in the Indian economy. Until recently, this was quite an unpopular source. However, in very recent years this is gaining popularity. Long-term sources of debt funds include debentures, public deposits and institutional finances, and short-term sources include short-term loans from commercial banks, accrued expenses, accounts receivables and miscellaneous sources.

The confidence to rely on a person or willingness to act on the basis of words is the outcome of interpersonal trust and decision-taking ability. Any relation will have trust as its basic foundation that will lead towards longterm relations-as a person, in a group or as an organisation. The moment a person is able to put confidence in his ability to take decisions and have confidence on others, the outcome of any objective would be effortlessly achievable. In an organisation, objectives can be easily attained with the increase in performance level which is directly affected by the relationship of members due to internalisation of the common objectives and understanding about others, which is possible only if the decsions are taken in anticipation and for future reference. Organisational effectiveness is dependent on coordination and decisions which are taken to support/intiate them. Organisations would suffer if there is a lack of trust when decisions are taken by others. This research, therefore, is based on the established styles of decision making by people who are associated with businesses. The sample comprises people who have inclination to take their family businesses further and are already participating in the same. The factors that we have evlauated are using a validated questionnaire on decision making that identifies them on the basis of decision styles followed such as Perceptive, Deferring/Procastination, Impulsive/Indiscriminate, and Imperceptive/Detached. Data analysis of questionnaire collected proved that professional competence and support, and factors of inter-personal trust play an important role in sustainability and support for decion making. Inter-personal trust leads to exchange of expertise in the group for effective learning and has long-term benefit to the organisation with accuracy and swiftness. Interpersonal trust will lead towards appropriate behaviour and decision styles.

Thepresentstudyisanattempttocanvasstheroleof‘Workplace Spirituality'on organisationalcitizenshipbehaviours (OCBs). All aspects of workplace spirituality (sense of community, meaningful job and inner life) have a positive link with OCBs. The objective of present study is to investigate the relationship between workplace spirituality and OCB of teaching and non-teaching employees of an engineering college in respect of positive organisational commitment among employees and whether the commitment conciliates the relationship between the two. This paper tries to identify the level of spirituality and OCB of employees in private engineering colleges. OCB means individual behaviours that are advantageous to the organisation but not openly acknowledged by the formal reward system in an organisation. This paper identifies the sense of spirituality, and employees in private engineering colleges in Bhubaneswar area. Moreover, this paper identifies the relationship of these factors with OCB and impact of these factors on OCB. It is understood that spirituality may emphatically contribute more in the formation of more strong ground for OCB to penetrate in an organisation. In this research, the researcher is seeking to use the concepts of the link between two variables-workplace spirituality and OCBs. Teaching as well as non-teaching employees of B. Tech. institutes were surveyed using a self-administered questionnaire. The result of partial least square regression analysis shows a very significant association between all the aspects of workplace spirituality and OCB.

The world financial market has undergone qualitative changes in last three decades due to phenomenal growth of derivatives, which play a significant role in implementing financial policies. In the present business scenario, importance of derivatives market is an ingenious feat of financial engineering that provides an effective solution to the problem of risk that is embedded in the price unpredictability of the underlying asset. In India, the sustainable development of derivatives market is relatively a recent phenomenon. Since its inception in June 2000, derivatives market has exhibited exponential growth, both in terms of volume and number of traded contracts. In 8 years, derivatives trading in India has surpassed cash segment in terms of turnover and number of traded contracts.

Banking system is the backbone of an economy. It has a significant contribution towards the overall development of an economy. The health of an economy largely depends on the soundness of its banking system. In the liberalised and globalised world, the Indian banking sector cannot ignore the importance of corporate governance as it ensures sound business ethics and safeguards the interests of all stakeholders. Corporate governance is a wider term which defines the rules, structures, methods and processes with which a company is managed and controlled. It increases long-term shareholder value by management accountability and also enhances firm's performance. It eliminates the conflicts arising from the separation of ownership and control. This aim of the present study is to examine the extent of applicability of corporate governance practices in Indian banking sector with the help of previous studies and to suggest some new areas for research
