Many people from other states in India come to Tamil Nadu to make a living. This contributes to the escalation in floating population in the city each year as it is the State capital and hub of all paramount economical activities. As the city-proper has dense constructed buildings with its local population residing, this migrant population is bound to reside mostly in the flood prone areas in the city and its suburbs. Through unplanned settlements of migrants in these areas, they face the menace of annual inundation during the monsoon considerably more comparing the natives because of various reasons. This study focuses on the life situation analysis of the migrant population who are residing in the flood prone areas in Chennai. It also aims at collecting various socioeconomic, socio-political and socio-ecological facets of these migrants to study their living conditions and welfare facilities available to them, as against various legislative provisions.

Although stakeholders can extend their impact areas individually, if they act as a group they create more influence on a company. Therefore, it is necessary to analyse stakeholders both as individuals and as a group in order to earn their contribution to the company. The employees’ opinions about the company, their satisfaction, and their motivation is important in terms of the sustainability of the business. In researches’ work, 456 whitecollar worker surveys were conducted at 16 telecommunication companies in the service sector. Through aggregated surveys, stakeholder relationship management and stakeholder behaviour were analyzed and the effects on competitive strategies were examined. In the results obtained, the hypothesis was not supported in the coordination dimension of stakeholder relations management and it appeared as an important finding. 1Address for correspondence: E-mail: zafercan81@yahoo.com INTRODUCTION According to the stakeholder’s theory and stakeholder management concept, a business should manage internal and external stakeholders in a balanced management style and meet the expectations in order to ensure the continuity of the business (Sharon 2016). Therefore, especially in regards to, the structure of the business sector, the position of competitors and, the attitudes and behaviours of the employees are very important factors. In general, the stakeholder theory examines the significant impact of employee, shareholders, management, suppliers, customers, governments, and non-governmental organizations on the business (Joos 2018). Beyond the specific results of this study; stakeholder relationship management and stakeholder behaviour variables contribute to the literature on stakeholder theory in terms of their impact on competition strategy. The research is based on stakeholder management, which is frequently used in the literature (Hillman and Keim 2001). And, while incorporating a new theoretical approach based on stakeholder opinion in conjunction with competitive strategies, this study represents a step toward understanding the impact of stakeholder engagement and stakeholder behaviour. Unexpected situations affecting the relationship between stakeholder relationship management, stakeholder behaviour and competition strategy have been examined in this paper for an exploratory purpose. Stakeholder theory argues that consistent interaction is needed with the stakeholders at an organization level in any business sector (Brickson 2007). The literature research on stakeholder theory reveals that it needs to be reconsidered and expanded to explain the mechanism between businesses and stakeholders (Jones and Nisbet 2011). Given the results of the study, stakeholder involvement focuses on the influence of relationship management and behaviour on competition strategy. Company executives need to effectively manage the interests of stakeholders (Bosse et al. 2009). In this context, companies can implement sustainable performance imp

The challenge that firms face today while deciding to engage customers to co-design is in identifying the customers who value co-designed product. The objective of this paper is to find whether the perceived value of buying a co-designed product will be more for a customer with high product involvement and whether this relationship is mediated by co-design self-efficacy. The study used a cross-sectional research design and collected data from 1052 respondents using a survey. The results indicate partial mediation of the relationship between product involvement and perceived value of co-design through co-design self-efficacy. Based on the findings, it is recommended that firms can target consumers with high product involvement when looking to invite customers to take part in the co-design process. Further, firms should share relevant information and devise the co-design process in a way that would increase co-design self-efficacy.
