The government of India has been opening up its retail industry for foreign players in a phased manner.The retail industry can be divided into two categories organized and unorganized sector. Though as Indians we are now used to malls, super markets, hyper markets but it’s really surprising to know that out of the total retail industry in India, roughly organized retail is only a mere 4%, and rest 96% is unorganized. This shows the potential that this industry carries with self, in properly channelized then can do wonders for India’s growth.This report is mainly focused on one of the forms of unorganized retail, i.e. the ‘paanwallah shops’; sellers of betel leaves. This is a form of traditional retail and in spite of strong cultural background; this unique stores are changing with time mainly because of various changes in the environment in which they operate. But this form of retailing is still one of the most common in India. On an average in India one can find at least 2-3 paan shop in a small locality.This study tries to find out about these Paanwallahs, and tried to answer few questions as to how this business is carried out, how these retailers are still sustaining, etc. For this study an interview guide has been prepared and a survey was conducted among different Paanwallahs of Kolkata (India), and accordingly conclusions were drawn.This study is going to help in getting an insight of this traditional retail format and to understand where they actually stand in this highly competitive environment.","PeriodicalId":113288,"journal":{"name":"Gabelli School of Business","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125377960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amann","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1730383","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1730383","url":null,"abstract":"For some time now, managers have been criticized for short-term oriented decision making and putting profits before principles. The financial crisis of 2007/08 has completely undermined faith in managerial decision making. Since many current managers were educated in business schools it is warranted to scrutinize these schools more closely. This book has done so by summarizing the current criticisms of business schools. This scrutiny, however, only represents the first step. The much more relevant and path-breaking step is to actually propose a workable alternative conception of management education. We argue that this book presents a holistic perspective in a rather piecemeal debate. In the following, we wish to therefore briefly summarize the books' main lessons and put them in a wider perspective on the future of management education. To do so, we outline a new paradigm for business and management in which the alternative management education needs to be placed. We further make very concise suggestions in terms of an alternative curriculum and setup of Humanistic Business Schools (HUBS). Finally, we wish to invite you to join us on the quest for a better, more sustainable, more human management education.","PeriodicalId":113288,"journal":{"name":"Gabelli School of Business","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130480452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lynch, Sinan Tan","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1135837","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1135837","url":null,"abstract":"Redemption fees have been proposed as a way to curb trading on stale prices by short-horizon investors to make profits at the expense of long-horizon investors who only trade to rebalance back to their optimal allocations. For redemption fees to be a viable device to curb stale price trading, they must have a negligible impact on the utility of these long-horizon agents. To assess this impact, we examine how the imposition of redemption fees affects the utility of long-horizon agents, allowing for the possibility that the long-horizon investors are rebalancing to take advantage of return predictability. Restricting the imposition of the fee to sales of shares purchased within 6 months, the utility cost of the redemption fee is never more than 0.12% of wealth when returns are i.i.d. and never more than 0.54% of wealth when returns are predictable. These utility costs are very small. For redemption fees to be a viable device to curb stale price trading, they must also be large enough to deter short-horizon investors from taking advantage of the stale prices. We find that they are, based on the documented profitability of such strategies, at least for the typical domestic fund and for the typical large capitalization domestic fund.","PeriodicalId":113288,"journal":{"name":"Gabelli School of Business","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130969103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hasan","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.962888","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.962888","url":null,"abstract":"We find that the location of corporate headquarters significantly affects the firm's bondholders. Similar to Loughran and Schultz (2006) and others, who show that investors are better able to obtain information on nearby companies, we look at firms located in large metropolitan cities, small cities, and rural areas and find that firms located in remote rural areas exhibit significantly higher costs of debt capital (of up to 65 basis points) in comparison to their urban counterparts. Unlike other studies that focus on the role of information asymmetries in the local bias of investors and decision makers, we are able to show that firms in remote areas experience greater costs of debt capital primarily because of a greater difficulty of monitoring their activities. We find that the adverse impact of bad corporate governance on bondholders is magnified in geographically remote firms, primarily because geographic distance reduces the effectiveness of external monitoring. Consistent with that, we show that in the private placement market, where firms are closely monitored by institutional investors, location plays no role in explaining the cross-sectional variation in the cost of debt capital across companies. We also find that the passage of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which brought about regulatory improvements in monitoring and governance, significantly reduced the agency costs of debt in rural firms. Taken together, our results indicate that the firm's information environment interacts with the impact of corporate governance, particularly affecting the effectiveness of external monitoring in alleviating agency problems between insiders and debt holders.","PeriodicalId":113288,"journal":{"name":"Gabelli School of Business","volume":"266 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117105102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
