There are a number of variables that can affect whether Indian consumers choose green banking. Raising customer awareness of sustainability issues and environmental difficulties is crucial for promoting green banking. It is possible to accomplish this through public education campaigns and focused communication tactics. Adoption rates can also be significantly influenced by how readily accessible and available green financial services are. Customers that care about the environment may be drawn to banks that offer a variety of green banking services, such as credit cards that are environmentally friendly or loans for renewable energy projects. Government regulations and policies may compel or encourage banks to use green banking techniques, which may affect client behaviour. Banks can get an advantage in the market and attract customers that value social and environmental responsibility by putting an emphasis on environmental sustainability. The adoption of green banking by clients in India can be significantly influenced by a combination of these factors.

Understanding brand equity is essential for marketers and brand managers because customer perception of a brand has a big impact on consumer behaviour. Consumer-centric brand equity metrics, such as brand loyalty, associations, perceived quality, and awareness, are used to evaluate a brand's value in the eyes of consumers. Brand loyalty and trust act as moderators in the interaction between consumer-centric brand equity features and brand loyalty. To learn more about this subject, information from a sample of customers from different firms can be gathered via a survey questionnaire. Then, data analysis and hypothesis testing can be done using regression and correlation modelling. The macro and micro approaches are two ways to determine a company's financial market worth based on brand equity. Integrated marketing communication can also have a substantial impact on business outcomes, giving businesses a competitive edge, enhancing brand equity, and assuring efficient and reliable communication. The final four steps in creating a strong brand are summarised by the Customer Based Brand Equity Model (CBBE). This area includes enhancing brand relevance, performance, graphics, and perceptions. By effectively completing these processes, a firm may create a powerful brand that resonates with its target audience and enhances business success.

The emergence of e-commerce has significantly impacted the retail sector. The popularity of online shopping has led to a decrease in foot traffic at conventional brick-and-mortar establishments, such as shopping malls and independent retail stores. Decreased foot traffic brought on by the expansion of e-commerce has reduced sales for many mall-based stores. This has led to the closure or partial vacancy of some malls, which has diminished investor interest and caused a reduction in property values. To draw customers, some malls have modified the designs by adding more immersive features like dining options and entertainment centers. Others have adopted e-commerce themselves, developing online markets that provide a greater selection of goods and services. Customers can now purchase goods from big merchants more easily and frequently at lower prices than small enterprises can. Independent retailers are under pressure because of this to change and stand out from more established rivals. Some people have started e-commerce businesses to access markets outside of the immediate area. Others have concentrated on offering distinctive products and individualized customer service that are unavailable at bigger businesses. The retail industry has been significantly impacted by e-commerce overall. To stay relevant in a market that is changing quickly, it has required established merchants to innovate and adapt. Some merchants have found it difficult to keep up with the changes, while others have succeeded by embracing e-commerce and incorporating it into their business plans. The study had considered sample of 211 respondents (owners of shopping malls and independent retail store) to compare and examine the impact of e-commerce on the retail industry and concludes that there is a significant impact of e-commerce on the retail industry.

The rise of e-commerce has revolutionized the way consumers shop, posing significant challenges to traditional brick-and-mortar malls. This study aims to investigate the challenges faced by mall shop owners in the era of e-commerce. Through an empirical investigation, data was collected from shop owners in different malls, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The study identifies various challenges faced by mall shop owners, including high rent costs, intense competition, and the need to adapt to changing consumer preferences. Shop owners also reported that e-commerce platforms have made it easier for consumers to compare prices, reducing their willingness to pay higher prices at malls. Furthermore, the study revealed that mall shop owners have adopted various strategies to mitigate the impact of e-commerce, such as improving customer service, offering discounts, and creating online presence. The study recommends that mall owners and managers need to collaborate with shop owners to find innovative ways to attract customers, including the use of technology to enhance the shopping experience.

The necessity for businesses to develop globally is one of the most important effects of globalisation on organisational strategy. As a result, international supply networks have emerged, and businesses now need to adjust to shifting social, legal, and political contexts. Additionally, the rise in competition as a result of globalisation has forced businesses to adopt more creative and adaptable business strategies in order to stay competitive. Globalisation has also had an impact on organisational decision-making since organisations now have to take into account a wider range of stakeholders in the decision-making processes, such as consumers, employees, suppliers, and communities. In addition, as organisations are expected to operate in a socially and environmentally responsible way, globalisation has led to a greater emphasis on corporate social responsibility. In general, the effects of globalisation on organisational strategy and decision-making have been significant, necessitating the adoption of more creative and adaptable strategies by organisations in order to cope with rapidly changing global settings. In order to stay competitive and sustainable over the long term, organisations must continue to change the strategies and decision-making procedures as globalisation continues to shape the global marketplace.

Understanding, managing, and resolving problems in a peaceful and beneficial way is the goal of conflict resolution. Understanding of self-emotions, as well as those of others, is a requirement for emotional intelligence. Conflict resolution requires the capability to understand the viewpoints of others and to empathize with them, especially when parties have a history of deeply held disagreements. According to research, people with high emotional quotients are more inclined to approach problems in a positive and cooperative way, which results in more favorable outcomes. At times when there is a conflict socially, it is the emotional intelligence that keeps a person calm and composed during such situation. Additionally, emotionally intelligent people can read and understand the emotions of others, which allows them to respond to the wants and worries more effectively. To be précised, effective conflict resolution depends on having strong emotional intelligence. Fostering effective and peaceful conflict resolutions requires the capacity to recognize, regulate, and understand self-emotions as well as those of others. Therefore, to improve the ability to resolve conflicts, people and organizations alike should give emotional intelligence skills top priority.

Any team's success depends on effective communication and collaboration. The team's organizational structure is a major component that may have an impact on collaboration and communication. The division and assignment of duties within a team is referred to as organizational structure. Communication inside an organization can be impacted in several ways. For example, teams with a hierarchical organization may have communication barriers since information may need to travel through numerous tiers before it reaches the intended recipient. As team members have greater direct access to one another, teams with flat organizational structures could experience fewer communication hurdles. The organizational structure can also affect how well people collaborate. Teams having a functional structure—in which individuals are grouped according to the function or area of expertise—may have a more specialized knowledge base, but they might have trouble working across functions. Teams with a cross-functional structure, in contrast, may have more potential for cross-functional collaboration but may encounter difficulties coordinating efforts across several domains of knowledge. To emphasize, organizational structure is essential for promoting teamwork and communication. Teams may choose the optimal strategy for the needs and realize the full potential for communication and collaboration by understanding the advantages and disadvantages of various organizational structures.
