We conducted two studies (N = 263) to examine the relationship between the pioneering-innovative orientation of managers, innovation heuristics and organisational performance. Study 1, containing a diverse stakeholder sample (n = 201) found that the two hypothesised innovation heuristics, i.e., search and adapt heuristics and fast and frugal heuristics, significantly mediated the relationship between the pioneering innovative orientation and perceived organisational performance. In Study 2, analysis based on a sample of senior business leaders and entrepreneurs (n = 62) confirmed that pioneering innovative orientation and the two identified innovation heuristics significantly predicted the 3-year average annual turnover of firms.

This study focuses on the interaction between strategic commitment (SC), supply chain collaboration (SCC), operational performance (OP), and innovation performance (IP). Structural equation modelling was applied to test data collected through a self-controlled questionnaire survey. Results show that SC has a substantial direct influence on SCC, and direct and indirect influence on OP and IP, respectively. SCC has a direct impact on IP and an indirect effect on OP. IP has a substantial direct influence on OP. These results would be useful to managers in building relations with their partners to enhance OP and IP, and in ensuring supply chain effectiveness.

The research paper reviews literature on various brand valuation models and estimates FMCG companies' financial brand values using an appropriate financial brand valuation model in the Indian context. From 2009 to 2018, 26 BSE 500 FMCG companies were sampled. Financial brand value, prestige driver, loyalty driver, extension driver, return on assets, return on equity, stock price, and Tobin's Q were the main variables in the models. Brand value had a contemporaneous effect on stock prices, but its three-year time-lagged effect was negative. The findings have important practical implications for FMCG firms, investors, investment analysts and managers, the government, and policymakers.

The study investigates the positive relationship between abusive supervision and employee burnout. It also explores the mediating role of problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies in explaining the relationship between abusive supervision and burnout. The article studies the influence of individual power distance orientation on employees’ burnout. Cross-sectional data of 294 responses were collected from Indian employees and analysed using Smart PLS. Results confirm that abusive supervision is positively related to burnout. Also, only avoidance of contact and social support mediated the effect of abusive supervision on burnout; the multi-group analysis revealed no significant difference in terms of power distance orientation.

Adopting a new product depends on consumers’ product perceptions, psychographics, and cultural contexts. This study combines stimulus-organism-response (S-O-R) and two-factor models to develop a comprehensive model for consumers’ intention to adopt artificial intelligence-powered personal service robots. Data were collected from 400 consumers in India, using existing validated scales from the literature. Structural equation modelling and path analysis were used to test the model fit. Findings suggest that consumers’ intention to adopt a personal service robot is based on perceived usefulness and risk, mediated by resistance bias. Contributions to the extant academic knowledge and marketing applications are discussed.

The study advances stress and daydreaming (mind wandering) literature by exploring the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We examine whether problem-orientated daydreams mediate the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. We also investigate the mediating role of problem-orientated daydreams between performance pressure and task performance. A cross-sectional survey was conducted amongst academicians in India. A theoretical model was tested using structural equation modelling techniques. The results indicate that problem-orientated daydreams mediate the relationship between performance pressure and innovative work behaviour. Further, results also support the hypothesised relationship between performance pressure and task performance mediated by problem-orientated daydreams. Our results hold while controlling for gender and institutional tenure for our hypothesised model.

In a world where the problem of NPLs is all but ubiquitous, and success stories of markets of distressed debt are rare, the paper establishes design principles for the creation of such markets. It does so by creating a theoretical model for gains to trade between banks, the sellers of non-performing loans (NPLs), and asset reconstruction companies (ARCs), in a context when buyers can pay using a combination of cash and securities issued against the NPL. The theoretical model is used to generate insights for the Indian case, and a new design for NPL auctions is proposed.

Under stress events, most of the asset prices tend to be positively correlated, breaking the diversification benefits. In this study, we explore the performance of different assets particularly during stress events (the 2008 crisis and the COVID-19 crisis) which can come to the rescue of portfolio managers as hedging strategies. Further, the analysis evaluates the performance of different combinations of portfolios with and without including volatility assets. Empirical results indicate that with only an allocation of 5% of the portfolio to volatility asset class, investors with different risk appetites were able to achieve 10% expected returns with reduced uncertainty.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between operant resources, operand resources, and technology and examines the influence on created value from the service-dominant logic perspective. It builds a research model for the impacting path of resources on value. For the empirical study, it adopts proxy variables as observable variables in representing latent or unobservable variables. By collecting aggregate national data, each endogenous and exogenous variable is modelled by a system of equations. The estimation results validate the dual role of technology in bridging the two types of resources between operant and operand resources for actors to create value.
