Agribusiness is one of the most important sectors of the economy in Bangladesh, making a significant contribution to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) and employment generation. To cope with the international business environment, developing the agribusiness sector in Bangladesh is essential. This study aims to assess the current status, challenges, and future potential of crop-based agribusiness farms in the country. Cross-sectional data were collected from 60 participants using purposive sampling. Frequency distribution tables were generated, and descriptive statistics were employed for data presentation. The results of the study showed that 60% of respondents from crop-based agribusiness farms faced financial crises when starting their businesses. 40% of respondents stated that the lack of experience is the primary challenge for exporting agribusiness products to international markets. Price fluctuation was mentioned as a significant threat by 48.3% of respondents. Moreover, 83.3% of respondents stated that the existing training institutions are insufficient for entrepreneurship development in Bangladesh. Respondents also identified some other challenges, such as decreased revenues due to COVID-19, low adoption of advanced technologies, lack of high-quality products, and unfavorable government policies. Policymakers should prioritize incorporating frontier technologies, implementing favorable policies, maintaining price stability, facilitating bank loans, and establishing new training institutions to address existing drawbacks. Furthermore, researchers identified future research areas that offer opportunities to advance theoretical boundaries and gain further insights into the study of agribusiness sectors.

Since a few decades ago, businesses have been under stress from their investors to embrace ecologically responsive commercial practices, which presents a significant challenge for management in maintaining a competitive advantage in the market. The human resources department must implement some green practices that improve sustainability if it is to maintain its strategic image in the eyes of its stakeholders. This study provides a quick explanation of the significant impact that these green HRM practices had on ecological sustainability performance. Its Green Hiring, Green Training and Engagement, and Green Performance Management and Compensation are self-determining variables. Despite the fact that it acts as a mediator between the independent and dependent variables, organizational citizenship conduct. A quantitative data collection method based on an online survey is used, taking into account the data of 120 participants to apply the SPSS test. Results from the vast majority of participants demonstrate that green performance management and compensation significantly affect an organization's commitment to corporate social responsibility and environmental sustainability. Green Training and Engagement provide the reasonable results for the dependent and mediating variable, while Green Hiring has the least impact. This research will help the management of the Odisha healthcare industry make effective adjustments to its HR practices, and it will also be useful to other researchers and state politicians as they make decisions. Indeed, this research is important, but it also has a number of shortcomings, including a lack of mixed studies and research constraints brought on by the state of Odisha. These problems could reduce the validity of our analysis. This gap can be filled by future academics in their research articles.

The nonchalant nature of plastic cutlery, its long-life period, and its durability make it a favourite among users and businesses. However, these properties also make it lethal for the environment and are an eco-disaster. This case discusses an initiative taken by a social enterprise and manufacturing company Ecoware, founded by Rhea Singhal, a pharmacologist by profession. Born in Mumbai and bought up in Dubai and London, her eco-friendly, biodegradable cutlery is an alternative to non-biodegradable single-use plastic cutlery, which, when discarded, ends up in sewage, landfills, fields and water bodies posing a threat to the environment. Moreover, Ecoware cutlery is also an alternative to commercial cutlery, which is made of plastic, has chemical or pesticide residue, binder additives, fillers, wax lining, plastic lining or coatings, or PFA (per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances), which is generally added to tableware and food packing to offer resistance to oil, grease and moisture. This Ecoware case examines the correlation between sustainability and marketing, with a particular emphasis on sustainability marketing. It delves into Ecoware’s marketing mix strategy and explores the obstacles the company has encountered regarding pricing, environmental awareness and the general lack of understanding regarding the detrimental effects of plastic cutlery.

On 9 September 2020, after finishing one of his lectures on franchising, Professor Dani reflected upon his own experience of a food franchisee business that he had started in 2015 in Hyderabad, India. He returned to his hometown of Hyderabad after working for close to 4 years with Symbiosis International University, Pune. On one evening in December 2014, Professor Dani went shopping with his wife; while returning, he saw a catchy advertising billboard of Mumbo King Vada Pav in the Narayanguda area of Hyderabad. Being Maharashtrians, Mr and Mrs Dani wanted to test the taste of vada pav, which is extremely popular, especially in India’s financial capital, Mumbai, and adjoining regions. Their gastronomical experience was surprisingly pleasant; thus, on reaching home, the couple deliberated upon the viability of setting up a vada pav franchise outlet. Professor Dani thought he had identified a niche market that could be catered to; therefore, he set out to explore diverse vada pav franchises and finally shortlisted Mumbo King Vada Pav, of which he had a pleasant gastronomical experience a few weeks back. Shortly, Professor Dani began his venture-SMB Foods; however, hardly within a span of 15 months, he was in a dilemma on whether he should continue the business or close its operations.
2020年9月9日,在完成了一次关于特许经营的讲座后,Dani教授回顾了他2015年在印度海得拉巴创办的食品特许经营企业的亲身经历。在浦那共生国际大学工作了近4年后,他回到了家乡海得拉巴。2014年12月的一个晚上,丹妮教授和妻子一起去购物;回来时,他在海得拉巴的Narayanguda地区看到了一块引人注目的Mumbo King Vada Pav的广告牌。作为马哈拉施特拉邦人,Dani夫妇想尝尝vada pav的味道,它非常受欢迎,尤其是在印度金融首都孟买和邻近地区。他们的美食体验令人惊讶地愉快;因此,回家后,这对夫妇考虑了建立一家vadapav特许经营店的可行性。丹妮教授认为他已经找到了一个可以迎合的利基市场;因此,他开始探索各种各样的vada pav特许经营权,并最终入围了Mumbo King vada pav的候选名单,几周前他在其中有一次愉快的美食体验。不久,Dani教授开始了他的企业SMB Foods;然而,在短短15个月的时间里,他就陷入了是继续经营还是关闭业务的两难境地。

Ramsha Naeem, G. Ahmad
The President and CEO of Mobilink called a meeting with the HR team to discuss serious issues regarding the performance appraisal system at Mobilink in January 2015, when the regular performance appraisal cycle had already begun. One such issue was the mismatch between employee and organizational objectives. There was a need to reinforce the link between individual and corporate performance as the organization did not meet its expected revenue growth targets. Still, many people were awarded salary increments, bonuses and promotions. The CEO of Mobilink and the HR team agreed that there was a need for changes in the existing performance appraisal system to bring employee objectives in line with organizational goals. The team was given 48h to develop a new system. Eventually, the team developed a new evaluation system, which was presented to the senior management team. The discussion with top management revealed varying opinions regarding the proposed system. The senior management team highlighted potentially serious pitfalls in the proposed system. The HR team left the meeting thinking: should the proposed system be implemented now or later, and did it need further improvements before implementation? They had a deadline to meet.

Cases in educational institutions, especially in schools, are relatively scarce. This case is about SMV School and is unique in the sense that it discusses the administration from a management perspective. The school needs help managing its most important resource: teachers. SMV pays handsomely to its teachers but still experiences high teacher turnover. Administrative practices and regulations of the school had been adapted from the diamond business of the founder of the school. The work environment is rigid, with strict rules and regulations for everyone. SMV has been unable to elevate its students’ academic performance to the next intended level, and performance has been stagnant in the last few years. Dhanani, the administrative director of the school, is worried about how to make the school a better place to work and improve the performance of its students, teachers and staff.
