Rationalization of water quality monitoring locations under spatiotemporal heterogeneity of diffuse pollution using seasonal export coefficient by Varekar V., Yadav V., Karmakar S.
Water quality is continuously changing because of anthropogenic origin of point and diffuses (non-point) pollution sources. Most of the time diffuse sources are not considered for rationalization of sampling sites as their accurate estimation is tedious and data intensive. The estimation of diffuse pollution is conventionally carried out using observed water quality data. These conventional approaches are data intensive and demands detailed information for a considerably long-time horizon and hence becomes challenging to implement in data-scarce regions. Also, diffuse pollution sources are characterized by spatio-temporal heterogeneity as they depend upon seasonal behavior of precipitation. The present study proposes an innovative semi-empirical approach of Seasonal Export Coefficients (SECs) for estimation of diffuse pollution loads, especially for tropical countries like India. This approach takes into account the effect of seasonality on the estimation of diffuse pollution loads, by considering seasonal heterogeneity of terrain and precipitation impact factors and land use applications. This seasonal heterogeneity is then tested for its possible impact on rationalization of water quality monitoring locations for Kali River basin in India. The SECs are estimated for available water quality dataset of 1999–2000 and are further used for simulation of nutrient loading for experimental years 2004–2005, 2009–2010, and 2014–2015. The resulting SECs for Kali river basin are: 2.03 (agricultural), 1.44 (fallow), and 0.92 (settlement) for monsoonal nitrate; while for non-monsoonal nitrate, SECs are 0.51 (agricultural), 0.23 (fallow), and 0.10 (settlement). The monsoonal phosphate SECs for land use classes - agricultural, fallow and settlement are 1.01, 0.68, and 0.25, while non-monsoonal phosphate SECs are 0.27, 0.14 and, 0.03 respectively. The seasonal variation of diffuse pollution sources is effectively captured by SECs. The proposed approach, by considering both point and diffuse pollution, is found efficient in determining optimum locations and number of monitoring sites where seasonal variations are found evident during experimental years. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd

Application of Multi-criteria Decision-Making Method for the Evaluation of Tamilnadu Private Bus Companies by Vadivel S.M., Sequeira A.H., Jauhar S.K., Baskaran R., Robert Rajkumar S.
The rapid growth of Tamilnadu sub-urban population has put enormous efforts on all modes of transportation systems, particularly the bus transportation. The increasing population far exceeds the limited supply of transport infrastructure and services. Mostly, traveling on a public bus and train services are overcrowded, undependable, slow, inconvenient, uncoordinated, and dangerous. Tamilnadu sub-urban desperately needs to improve and expand private transportation services to improve passengers' satisfaction. In this paper, we have presented a multi-criteria decision-making approach for selecting the best private bus operators in Tamilnadu, the southern part of India. The evaluation has been made based on six criteria, twenty-eight sub-criteria, and eight private bus operators as alternatives. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

Does COVID-19 outbreak cause spot electricity price discovery in India? by Rath B.N., Akram V.
This paper aims to investigate whether COVID-19 pandemic causes the spot electricity price discovery of the Indian electricity market. To do so, we use the average daily spot electricity price data for five regions of the Indian electricity market (North, East, West, South, and North-East). The data is considered from March 15, 2020 to May 02, 2020. The results obtained from cross-sectional augmented Im, Pesaran and Shin (CIPS) unit root test show the stationary of spot electricity price and COVID-19 at the level. Additionally, we use the Dumitrescu–Hurlin (DH) panel causality test to examine the causality between spot electricity price and COVID-19. The results reveal the unidirectional causality which is running from COVID-19 to the spot electricity price discovery but no other way around. Our findings suggests to the policymakers that across different regions of India (North, East, West, South, and North-East), the ongoing coronavirus outbreak will further disrupt the electricity market. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd

How Yoga-Based Practices Build Altruistic Behavior? Examining the Role of Subjective Vitality, Self-transcendence, and Psychological Capital by Dagar C., Pandey A., Navare A.
Broader outlook, ethics, and social responsibility have been long-standing concerns in business practices and management. In this regard, an effective management education would play a pivotal role in instilling an ethical grounding among management students, who represent the future management practitioners. Therefore, going beyond the self-oriented perspective and promoting altruistic behavior among them would be significant in establishing broader, socially responsible considerations in organizations. However, little research has investigated how to increase altruistic behavior. To address this need, we propose that Yoga-based practices (YBP) can build-up altruistic behavior by enhancing subjective vitality (SV), self-transcendence (ST), and psychological capital (PsyCap). We report two studies to test this hypothesis. In Study 1, a survey-based study (n = 342), we examine the impact of SV and ST on altruistic behavior mediated by PsyCap. The results from structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model. In study 2, we examine the impact of YBP on SV and ST using longitudinal randomized controlled experiment design (n = 109). The findings of study 2 suggest that YBP enhanced both SV and ST and that YBP are effective, efficient, and sustainable training tools for building altruistic behavior among management students. We discuss the significance and implications of these findings for organizations, management education, and leadership development. We consider the limitations of our study and suggest directions for future research. © 2020, Springer Nature B.V.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on agricultural wholesale prices in India: a comparative analysis across the phases of the lockdown by Ali J., Khan W.
This paper attempts to analyse the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on wholesale prices of the agricultural commodities particularly fruits and vegetables in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, India. This study is based on the daily data collected from AGMARKNET of all major agricultural markets under the Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC). The difference in weighted wholesale prices has been analysed before and during COVID-19 and across various phases of the lockdown. The analysis of the difference in the weighted average wholesale prices across markets and commodities has shown a mixed response. The most hydrating perishable fresh fruits and vegetables with high water content have faced a significant decline in wholesale prices during the lockdown. On the contrary, other perishable fruits and vegetables have realized a gain in the average wholesale prices. The weighted average wholesale price has also declined over the phases of the lockdown. This study provides timely feedback for preparing all the stakeholders of the agricultural marketing chain to understand and formulate coping strategies to make the system resilient. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd

Understanding consumers' showrooming behaviour: a stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) perspective by Arora S., Parida R.R., Sahney S.
Purpose: The present piece of research aims at enhancing our understanding of situational and intentional showrooming behaviour. The study further tests and validates a model based on the stimulus–organism–response framework to draw richer insights. Design/methodology/approach: The study adopts a two-phased approach to discover the consumers' rationale behind showrooming. In the first phase, a narrative-based examination followed by an inductive thematic analysis was employed. In the second phase, the stimulus–organism–response model was validated through structural equation modelling method. Findings: The results of the study highlighted the factors that contribute to intentional and situational showrooming behaviour. Results show that consumers also showroom on account of situational circumstances such as assortment issues, poor sales-staff assistance and long payment queues at offline stores. However, intentional showroomers are primarily driven by perceived showrooming value which emerges as a combination of in-store search value and online purchase value. Past showrooming experience also plays a role in stimulating consumers to showroom. The results also revealed the moderating impact of product involvement and perceived product type, barring time pressure. The impact of showrooming self-efficacy was also observed. Research limitations/implications: The study majorly validates the factors stimulating intentional showrooming conduct intertwined with product-related factors, time pressure and showrooming self-efficacy. Hence, the future scope of the study lies in quantitatively validating the findings concerning situational showroomers as this would help draw richer insights. Practical implications: The findings of the study can be utilized by both offline and online retailers for managing showroomers. Originality/value: The study offers rich insights on showrooming which has been identified as a major challenge being faced by offline retailers nowadays. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Understanding entrepreneurial behavior for predicting start-up intention in India: Evidence from global entrepreneurship monitor (GEM) data by Ali J., Jabeen Z.
This study aims at identifying the factors affecting individuals in establishing start-ups in India using the theory of planned behavior based on the Adult Population Survey (APS) of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) of 2016. Out of 3,400 individuals surveyed, 26.5% have reported new start-up efforts and 8.3% reported start-up ownership. Attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control have significant effects on establishing start-ups in the country. The findings of the study support the application of the theory of planned behavior in the Indian context and provide practical policy implications of these results for strengthening start-up efforts in the country through various public and private initiatives. This study provides a clear mapping of potential individuals who are the most likely to start a business on the one hand and identification of factors, which may affect the start-up intention on the other. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons Ltd

An imbalanced ecosystem start-ups in India by Rault Y.-M., Mathew S.
The rapid development of various institutions supporting company creation in India has the potential to generate economic growth, innovation, and economic development. However, this article shows that the start-up ecosystem has unevenly developed across cities and economic sectors, and has failed to empower the overall population, so far. Using a comprehensive database on start-ups retrieved from Tracxn, a business data and analytics company, the authors find that venture capital concentrates amongst graduates stemming from a handful of prestigious education institutes in India and abroad. The article analyses the role of entrepreneurship policies and argues for a shift of focus and resources towards the building of a more inclusive start-up ecosystem. © 2019 Economic and Political Weekly.

Effects of information sources for new customers and suppliers on the immediate innovation output of firms by Medhi P.K., Jain P., Jain T.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a typology of the information sources for new customers or suppliers on the basis of their existing relational linkage with the acquiring firm and to further explore whether various types of information sources for new customers and suppliers have any differential effect on a firm's immediate innovation output. Design/methodology/approach: The research sample was taken from the data collected by WB enterprise surveys (2005). The WB enterprise survey is considerably comprehensive for firm-level data. Relevant questions for the study were extracted from the survey. Simultaneously, EFA, CFA and SEM using AMOS 6.0 was run for the analysis. Findings: The findings confirm that sources for a new customer and supplier with a strong relational aspect have a significant positive effect on a firm's innovation output in the immediately following period. Research limitations/implications: The research acknowledges the need to measure the effect of new supplier/customer on innovation depending on the type of information sources separately for product and process innovation as one of the major limitations. Practical implications: This research can help managers obtain information of holistic and critical nature to incorporate in decision making for improving firm performance in innovation. Originality/value: Customers and suppliers are well-established external sources of innovation ideas and information. But to what extant new customers or suppliers may be effective resources for innovation may depend largely on the sources through which they themselves are acquired by a firm, which is relatively unexplored. This study addresses the gap is the first of its kind to explore the role of the sources of information for new customer/supplier on a firm's innovation output in the immediately following period. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Entrepreneurial intention of students: A case of NIT Hamirpur (HP, India) by Sharma S.K.
The study examines the entrepreneurial intention of students pursuing various professional courses (BTech, MBA and BArch) from the National Institute of Technology Hamirpur (Himachal Pradesh, India) which is commonly abbreviated as NIT Hamirpur (HP). Drawing on Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour (TPB) the study has examined the underlying factor affecting entrepreneurial intention in the selected sample. By employing structured research process and statistical techniques the study divulges the fact that attitude towards entrepreneurship is a critical factor in explaining entrepreneurial intention of students. However, demographical variables like gender and caste are irrelevant in explaining entrepreneurial intention of students. The study concludes that there is lack of awareness among students of NIT Hamirpur regarding various schemes aimed to boost entrepreneurial environment in the country. Implications and further directions have also been discussed. Copyright © 2019 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Factors affecting the choice of interaction after the international joint venture termination in Africa: Total interpretive structural modeling by Parameswar N., Dhir S.
The choice of interaction after the international joint venture (IJV) termination is influenced by different factors in varying levels that can be hierarchically depicted. On IJV termination, parent firms are deprived of value created during IJV. Parent firms can attempt to create a whole or part of the value created during IJV through an interaction post IJV termination. This study attempts to identify factors that influence the choice of interaction post IJV termination and categorize them hierarchically based on their magnitude of influence. This study examines the factors that influence the decision to interact post IJV termination by developing a total interpretive structural model (TISM) using data collected from managers of terminated IJV in Africa. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Internet of things architectures: do organizational strategies matters? by Vishwakarma N.K., Singh R.K., Sharma R.R.K.
Purpose: The technology used by an organization is significantly influenced by the organization's preferred competitive capabilities. The Internet of things (IoT) is an important technology, which is implemented by most prominent business organizations. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between an organization's strategies and the IoT architectures implemented by the organization. Design/methodology/approach: This study has been carried out on primary data collected with the help of a structured questionnaire. The data have been analyzed by statistical techniques like cluster analysis and discriminant analysis through SPSS. Findings: The empirical investigation of data revealed that there is a relationship between organizational strategy and IoT architectures. The three-layered architecture of the IoT is most suitable for caretakers; the three-, four- or five- layered architectures are suitable for marketeers; whereas innovators find it more suitable to use five- or more-layered architecture of the IoT. This paper draws the conclusion based on maximum likelihood rather than using statistical analyses like ANOVA. The idea behind using the maximum likelihood estimate is that there are many subjective parameters in deciding the architectures of the IoT. These subjective parameters are difficult to quantify, so it is not possible to apply ANOVA on these parameters. Research limitations/implications: This study considers three organizational strategies; the relationship between other organizational strategies and IoT architecture will be studied in future. Practical implications: This study offers multiple opportunities to practitioners and consulting firms of the IoT to adopt a suitable IoT architecture according to the organizational strategy. This study equips IoT development engineers to select suitable technology for data capturing, data transmission, and data management and access for an IoT architecture. Originality/value: Although a lot of work has already been done on the architecture of IoT for different industries and businesses, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that relates organizational strategies to IoT architectures. This study applies to all the major industry types. © 2019, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Interpretive Ranking of Choice of Interaction of Parent Firms Post-International Joint Venture Termination using TISM-IRP by Parameswar N., Dhir S., Sushil
International joint ventures (IJVs) have been explored in the extant strategic management literature from multiple facets. This study extends beyond the usual areas of research in the IJV literature and attempts to explore the interaction choice of IJV parent firms post-termination of their IJV. Using data on terminated two-partner IJV headquartered in India, we attempt to determine the ranking of choice of interaction post-IJV termination as supplier–buyer, complement, or competitor. Five factors have been considered in this study as antecedents to the choice of interaction post-IJV termination—type of IJV, cultural distance, bargaining power, industry regulation, and type of termination. The results suggest that each factor affects hierarchy of choice of interaction post-IJV termination distinctly and cumulatively influences the choice of complement interaction more than competitor interaction and supplier–buyer interaction. The change in relationship between parent firms from being in an IJV to an interaction post-IJV termination as supplier–buyer, complement or competitor can be attributed to the strategic flexibility of the organization. The paper explores a practical business phenomenon observed in emerging markets and establishes its theoretical foundation. © 2019, Global Institute of Flexible Systems Management.

Vehicle routing for a mid-day meal delivery distribution system by Gajpal Y., Roy V., Sahay B.S.
This paper considers the distribution system of a school feeding program (mid-day meals), wherein a set of delivery vehicles transfer cooked food from a kitchen facility to various schools within a specified delivery deadline. The food is required to be delivered before the lunch period, which is consistent across all the schools. A delay in food delivery can deprive students of their lunch, and, therefore, designing the vehicle routes for such distribution systems and maintaining a strict delivery deadline becomes critical. The resultant problem is identified as a vehicle routing problem with a common due date (VRPCDD). We provide a formulation for the VRPCDD and thereby focus on suggesting solution methods. In addition, we also demonstrate the practical application of VRPCDD by focusing on a real-life problem of a mid-day meal provider operating in the Chhattisgarh province of India. © 2019 The Authors
