This paper studies differential impact of COVID-19 on systemic risk during different phases of lockdown on the financial institutions in India. We use SRISK as a measure of systemic risk and study three categories of financial institutions viz., public sector banks (PSBs), private sector banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). We use Kruskal-Wallis test for examining the difference in the SRISK parameter for the three categories of financial institutions considered in this paper and observe significant difference. We have also estimated the Spearman correlations between the Indian volatility index (VIX) and SRISK across the three categories of financial institutions. The PSBs are foremost in risk contribution compared to private banks and NBFCs but they are not affected by market volatility index as compared to their counterparts, on the other hand medium and small sized PSBs have performed well as compared to large PSBs. Based on the result it is inferred that the month of April 2020-June 2020 (lockdown period) had the most significant increase in systemic risk.

This study proposed a signalling game for a research grant allocation situation involving two players: a funding agency and a researcher whose type was kept secret from the funding agency, where the agency decided the grant amount to fund the researcher. The results showed that a pooling equilibrium existed when the difference between a large and small fund was sufficiently large, and the expected costs of failing the large-fund project for both types were small, whereas the expected costs of failing the small-fund project for both types were large. A case study was examined based on the research impact assessment of other studies. According to the results, we were still in a pooling equilibrium. However, if some model parameters changed (such as when the estimated cost of a penalty to a bad researcher was increased), a separating equilibrium began to show.

There are many methods for managing the complexity and challenges of new product development (NPD) under faster emerging technology. Most firms use them to collaborate with external organisations for their co-design on new products. This study purposes to provide a measurement model by applying multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach to evaluate suppliers' co-design capabilities in NPD in terms of product structural design and engineering, product concept and functional design, and process design. This MCDM includes fuzzy step-wise weight assessment ratio analysis (SWARA) to determine the relative weights of criteria and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS) to rank the results of suppliers' capabilities regarding to their co-design in NPD. Given the result, supplier with the highest collaboration performance rating is selected at first. The evaluation of suppliers' collaboration is regarded as an essential starting point for management challenge to develop suppliers' capabilities.

Agility has become a key driver for all business operations, including supply chain (SC) operations to convene the requirements of the customers in a timely manner. The concept of agility with respect to SC is accelerating therefore sparse literature accessible on such domain, especially with incorporation of technology (TE) from developing economies. The current study investigates the linkages between distinct dimensions of the agile supply chain (ASC) and firms' sales performance (FSP) by adopting moderating effect of TE within SMEs of Bangladesh. Data collected from SC managers and evaluated using structural equation modelling. The findings affirmed the positive relationships between ASC and FSP along with positive connection of each dimension of ASC, i.e., alertness (ART), flexibility (FXB), decisiveness (DSV), swiftness (SWT), and accessibility (ACB). A positive influence of TE is found between ASC and FSP, respectively. This study presents insights for strategic SC management to focus ASC and TEs' capabilities in order to optimise FSP in today's customer-oriented era.

The current pricing context calls for better, faster and more precise pricing decision makings than ever before. These in turn, oblige companies to take a new stance with respect to the role of pricing in today's overwhelming and complex marketing context. Similarly, decisions related to inventory control and types of goods are strongly linked to pricing as well. The aim of this paper is to present a mathematical programming model for joint inventory control and pricing for the bundling of obsolescent items. To this end, a mathematical programming model was developed following a comprehensive review of the literature in this area. The validity of the proposed model was then tested in the telecommunications industry as a case study. According to the obtained results, the proposed model had a fairly good validity.
