Abstract
The case revolves around the decision to be taken by Mr Sashikant Hegde, Managing Director, Hycons Renewable Private Ltd, on the project viability of a business proposal. The proposal was to start a manufacturing plant in Punjab to produce compressed biogas using paddy straws. Hegde firmly believed that the company would do well considering the growth of the CNG market in India, as the oil and natural gas sector in India is among the top 10 core industries in the country and plays an important role in the existence of other important sectors as well. The proposal would benefit Hycons to establish its presence in northern India, but the project viability and funding of the investment remained an unanswered question.
期刊介绍:
Asian Journal of Management Cases is a peer-reviewed journal that aims at providing high-quality teaching material to academics, consultants, and management developers, through cases on management practices in the socioeconomic context of developing Asian countries. The journal covers all administrative disciplines including accounting and finance, business ethics, production and operations management, entrepreneurship, human resource management, management information systems, marketing, organizational behaviour, strategic management, and managerial economics. Each issue of Asian Journal of Management Cases comprises four to five original case studies. Teaching cases should be accompanied with a Teaching Note (TN). Even though the TN will not be published, it is necessary for the review process and can be obtained by contacting the authors directly. Please refer to the online submission guidelines for details on writing a teaching note. AJMC does not publish pure research or applied research based on field studies (not case studies). The journal is published in March and September every year with thematically focused issues occasionally.
