Corporate sustainability is resultant from the perception of sustainable development. It fundamentally mentions toward the part, which corporations can show in gathering the schema of sustainable expansion and necessitates a steady line to financial development, societal evolution, and ecological stewardship. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India emphasizes on anything that ended with returns after they are completed. On the other side, sustainability concerns factoring the societal and ecological influences of directing industry, that is, how revenues are created. Henceforth, ample of the Indian exercise of CSR occurs as a significant constituent of sustainability or accountable industry, which is a greater clue, a statistic obvious from numerous sustainability contexts. The readings on the relationship between CSR and Sustainability by means of monetary functioning include fundamentally two types. The first practices procedure of studying the events to measure the short-run monetary effect (abnormal returns) when organizations involve in their publicly accountable or negligent deeds. The second observes the association among the certain degree of corporate social functioning and variables of long-term financial functioning by using accounting or financial measures of profitability. The objectives of the report are to analyse the impression of CSR proposals of a company on its financial performance, its net profit, and total resources (assets). The data study is done with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and statistical tools such as correlation and regression are used. The correlation coefficient (a value between −1 and +1) states how sturdily two variables are associated with each other. The regression analysis is a statistical procedure used to estimate the consequences of independent variables on a particular dependent variable. After the analysis, it can be concluded that the CSR is positively correlated with the firm’s PAT (profit after tax) and firm’s total resources (assets) and since the significance value is less than 5% in both the cases of regression (CSR with PAT; PAT and CSR with total assets), therefore it is concluded that CSR acts as a major factor and certain additional factors are also answerable for the transformations in the PAT: profit after tax and total assets of the company.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121687084","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}

There is stiff competition between eight countries within the region to capture the market share—China, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Cambodia and Indonesia. Using raw data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys, a two-stage analysis was conducted for each country—in the first stage efficiency scores were computed using data envelopment analysis, and in the second stage factors influencing efficiency were identified using tobit regression and disaggregate comparison. The results revealed a poor efficiency performance across countries, but the drivers varied between them. It was observed that smaller firms performed better and there was a need to revamp quality certification and training modules to promote competitiveness.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130080376","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}

It has changed the entire lifestyle of human beings concerning their emotional stability and cognitive development. Enjoyment is one of the emotions and acts as a positive stimulus that a consumer used to feel and seeks for a balanced life. Since the nationwide lockdown was implemented on March 25, 2020, people have turned restless about how to enjoy themselves at home, as all of their options of going out were being shattered. It was the time when continuous innovations in the form of digital content through over-the-top (OTT) platforms flourished and provided an affordable and diversified entertainment source to consumers. These OTT services help consumers to view the contents via the Internet directly. Furthermore, it has drastically changed people’s preferences toward diversified content based on their choices. This study aims to explore the various determinants affecting consumer satisfaction toward the OTT platforms amid COVID-19 crisis in India. The study’s main findings revealed that among the demographic variables, age group of the consumer largely influences their satisfaction toward OTT platforms. Moreover, work from home, affordability, convenience, and content quality are the significant determinants affecting consumer satisfaction levels toward OTT platforms. The study is relevant to the current marketing scenario, as it provides useful insights for the content developers of the major OTT platforms such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+ Hotstar, Voot, and many others to enhance the consumer satisfaction in the terms of digital content consumption.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116344944","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}

The methodology employed for ascertaining inter-relationship includes the Johansen Co-integration technique and Toda & Yamamoto Causality model. Besides this, the entire model has been set up under the VAR Framework with Variance Decomposition and Impulse Responses giving useful insight into the relationship among the stated variables. The results of the study, however, failed to identify any co-integration among the assets during any of the two crisis periods, however, there was evidence of short-run cause–effect relation among some of the variables. The causality flow was uni-directional from Nifty 50 to both crude and exchange rate in Period I (GFC Period) while in Period II (COVID-19 Crisis Period) it was bi-directional between Gold and Nifty 50. Causality was also seen from Foreign Exchange to Gold in Period II. Further ADF Breakpoint showed all the variables were I(1) stationary and the VAR Model was also proved stable as shown by AR Characteristics Root Plots. The impulses showed that Period II or COVID-19 Crisis Period retained the innovations of other variables for a longer duration than Period I (GFC Period).","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114615659","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}

The purpose of this case is to highlight the process, people, and operations improvements undertaken by an Indian e-commerce giant with the help of the research team at the CII School of Logistics for enhanced efficiency and customer service. The researchers spent 50 days onsite (at the company’s warehouse located in Binola) observing the processes, identifying issues, providing solutions, and tracking and recording improvements as per the action research methodology (Reason, 2001). Thus, two-fold objectives were achieved: (a) improved cost efficiency and material handling processes in the warehouse and (b) knowledge building in the strategic operations management area. The case is a representative illustration of how the Indian logistics industry is moving from fragmented, unorganized, and inefficient systems to a more organized, structured sector in an ultra-competitive global space.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126751459","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}

They have become patient-centric and feel that listening to a medical representative is a waste of their time. Wishing to learn what could make a doctor prescribe a drug when visited by the medical representative, I drew up a questionnaire consisting of product-centric variables and non-product-based variables. The questionnaire had six variables, which had to be ranked from 1 to 6, with 1 being the most important and 6 being the least important. The variables were easy availability, economical drugs, company name, sponsorships, medical representative’s dedication, and samples among the non-product-based variables and safety, efficacy, tried and tested, less drug interactions, good reviews of the drug, and less adverse effects among the product-based factors. A total of 100 doctors were interviewed. A personal interview was conducted wherein the questionnaire was direct and structured. The results were such that in Thurstone Case V Scaling, economical drugs were considered as the most effective way to get doctors to prescribe, followed by easy availability, company name, medical rep dedication, samples, and sponsorships among the non-product-centric factors, whereas in the product-centric factors, it included efficacy, followed by time tested, less adverse effects, safety, less drug interactions, and good drug reviews. In Karl Pearson’s coefficient of correlation, it was found that a high, positive correlation existed between economical drugs and efficacious drugs and a medium, positive correlation existed between economical drugs and safe drugs. Similarly, a medium–high correlation existed between company name and time-tested drugs.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123210563","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}

Also, whether any correlation existed between the traditional forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion and the modern forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion. The study was conducted on 50 managers from different service organizations across the state of Goa. A random direct structured questionnaire was utilized wherein a personal interview was conducted. The findings were such that the highest ranked method of performance appraisal desired by the service managers was the 360-degree method followed by management by objectives (MBO) and assessment centers. A high negative correlation existed between traditional forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion and a medium positive correlation between modern forms of performance appraisal and employee promotion. This meant that although the modern forms of performance appraisal were desired by managers, they did not feel the need to use them when it came to giving promotions to the employees.","PeriodicalId":230921,"journal":{"name":"Jindal Journal of Business Research","volume":"139 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114729825","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}

It must be noted that consumption-led growth post 2000 was financed by rise in credit. Imports will rise in response to rising GDP and rising exports, and the main cause of CAD has been a persistent trade account deficit.
