The interpretive method used in-depth interviews about their experiences with the fitted clothes. This research shows that discovery is related to the creation, development, and maintenance of clothing mainly through product experience aesthetics, which are positive emotions such as the aesthetic characteristics of products. It was found that style, color, patterns, product design, and materials create this aesthetic experience. The researchers have used in the interviews certain stimuli that aim to identify consumer decision-making regarding the aesthetic aspects of apparel products. The results of this study show that the female aesthetic experience, especially color and texture, plays a crucial role in creating the necessary aesthetic experiences. This study concluded that aesthetics play an important role in purchasing decisions for clothing.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135316887","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}

India has been a country of agriculture, and even in today’s era, the majority of the population relies on agriculture for their livelihood; however, despite all these facts, India has seen a tremendous growth and change in economy, science and technology, education, and so on. In the process of development, invention and innovation have gained immense importance, which have resulted in application of inventions and innovations in the form of technology. In this background, the legal protection for the inventors arises, which is being catered by intellectual property rights (IPR) in the whole world as well as India. In Indian context, the IPR has not yet reached every business organization because the word IPR has always been misunderstood by most of the people that it is meant only for science and scientific inventions, but the fact is IPR’s applicability is much wider and it is applicable even to the smallest businesses. In the entire world, China is a nation which has the highest number of IPR grants, followed by USA. IPR in the present situation is very prominent and relevant because changes in industries like telecommunication, computer science, and so on are in the frontline and India is not lagging in invention and innovations. In 2021, out of the total number of applications received, China has the major contribution, which amounts to 40%. But very shockingly, India is not even in the top 10, which hints us that India needs to be vigilant and needs more attention of IPR. This research article speaks on how India is progressing in applicability of IPR and why India is not extensively using the provisions of IPR. We all know that IPR includes various elements like patents, copyrights, and trademarks; geographical indicators; industrial design; and utility models. But to be more precise and detailed, we have narrowed down our study only to patents in India, and even in that, we have considered patent applications, patent grants, and patents in force. It is to be noted that India’s economy is vibrant and dynamic. An economy like India is truly in need of extensive use of IPR and its provision to protect the rights of the real owner and inventor. But most of the population is ignorant about the IPR, so we are making an attempt to understand what is India’s position in IPR and its applicability. To narrow down our research, we have confined our study to only patents. In a further study, we can analyze how we can improve the awareness, and it may also help us in updating of IPR laws and its provisions.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135913170","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}

Using the grounded theory approach, 16 face-to-face interviews were conducted at the top management level in the hospitality industry of Pakistan. The data were assessed using NVIVO software to develop themes and subthemes. The results indicate that leaders’ own spiritual level and knowledge are critical to developing a positive relationship between a leader and follower and helpful in disseminating spiritual knowledge over time to accept the ongoing change in the organizations. Also, the respondents strongly emphasized uplifting the stakeholders, society, and followers as a whole.

It has performed through wireless telecommunication networks and other wired e-commerce technologies. Instead of cash, cheque, or credit or debit cards, payments are made via mobile devices. The customer generally makes the payment for a wide range of services and digital or hard goods. The mobile payment acts as a business tool substituting the need of banks, ATM, and credit or debit cards by enabling the user to make financial transactions with digital money. A user ready to purchase a good or service from a seller, through mobile payment service, is introduced to a trusted third party; it allows the user to make payment from his account to another account. Thus, there is free movement of mobile money between users either by using a local area wireless network or by using the wireless service provider’s network. The Indian Government also supports various digital payment apps such as Aadhaar payment app, UPI app, and Bharat Interface for Money app, along with private sector apps like Paytm, free charge, mobikwik, and so on. Such new apps are helpful to transfer funds across various parts of our country. This study provides spotlight on the impacts of digital wallets on small-income business groups who operate in every nook and cranny, and what services are offered by the mobile payment system and utilization and awareness levels of services offered by the mobile payment system (1).","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136366996","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}

This is because financing is important to all firms and is primarily provided by banking institutions. The Indian banking industry has historically served as a more important pillar of support for the growth of the entire economy, but recent changes in macroeconomic factors like COVID-19, rising inflation, political factors, and economic changes have had a greater impact on the banking industry’s performance. Using Altman’s Z-score model, the current study aims to comprehend the financial stability of the chosen financial institutions. In terms of their insolvency status, banks’ financial stability is being attempted to be understood. The study uncovers that the majority of the selected banks have been impacted drastically due to macroeconomic and structural changes like recent mergers in the public sector banks. The result indicates that the banks are in a distress zone and need to strategize their future operations in order to yield better results.

The strategies applied in SCM are dependent on understanding customers’ demand, the ability to forecast accurately, and maintaining smart inventory management to achieve the full advantages of SCM. This study exploits the integration of SCM concepts with business simulation, along with exploring strategies to improve the whole operation of a chicken supply chain. Witness Horizon software is utilized to model the supply chain of Company X, and information gathered on the demand and sales of poultry (chicken) is applied and computed in the simulation. The study investigates several ordering strategies, which are based on the previous week’s demand (PWD), weighted (forward) 3-point average demand (WAFD), weighted (backward) 3-point average demand (WABD), and moving average demand (MAD). Each simulation result obtained from different ordering strategies indicates the effectiveness and potential of the proposed methodology. These strategies are successfully developed and simulated, in which the results obtained demonstrate a desirable level of inventory, and profitability can be achieved by implementing these strategies in real time. The study concludes with MAD as being a suitable forecasting method for the given scenario.","PeriodicalId":360745,"journal":{"name":"BOHR International Journal of Advances in Management Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122603011","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}
