Both men and women create the labor force; but it has been noted that since past decade, India has been seen a steady decline in Female Labor Force Participation (FLFP) from 37% in 2005 to an all-time low of 23 percent in 2016. On the other hand, percentage of women participation in the higher education increase. The enrolment ratio of women in higher education increased from 22% in 2012 to 26% in 2016 as per study of AISHE. The objective of this paper is to know reason behind decline in labour participation of women, as their ratio in higher education increase. The study was totally based on secondary data. This work examines the reason of women labor force participation, as against the backdrop of India having one of the lower most participation rates for female among peer countries. The research work has revealed that in modern world women are much more creative and innovative than men. Women by nature are economical and not cause undue wastage of resources and needless expenses. If they are on condition that with the right entree backed by the right governmental strategies, they can also influence the well–being of the environment and public health at national level. The main finding is that a number of program initiatives can help in boosting female in social and economic participation in India, including labor market flexibility, speculation in infrastructure, and improved social outlay.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73316681","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}

Rural markets have become integral part of global market and are growing at above two times faster pace than urban markets. Despite rising urbanization, still 63 percent Indian population will continue to live in the rural areas in 2025 as reported by Mckinsey. Due to this rural market becomes a goldmine and provides unique opportunities to the marketers to expand their market and make their margin by creating awareness among rural customers about their products and influence their buying decision. Advertising is playing a vital role in creating the awareness and influences customer buying behavior towards FMCG. The paper investigates about the influence of advertisement on the consumer’s buying behavior towards FMCG products in the rural areas of Bhopal. The sample of 300 respondents has been taken and data has been analyzed by using different statistical techniques to achieve the objective.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86558198","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 also studies the various issues pertaining to developing new economic partnerships for SDGs and the role of private multilateral international institutions in effective implementation of the SDGs of UN through a proper and effective coordination and working in synergy with these institutions with UN on the one hand and the other related national and international institutions such as other private multilateral institutions, NGOs, civil societies, world class academic institutions on the other to attain peace, governance, justice and SDGs. The aspect-wise review of literature i.e. global peace, governance, justice and SDGs has been reflected in brief studied by various authors. The functions of the various international organizations such as IMF, World Bank and WTO etc., in providing financial assistance and in developing rules and frameworks to achieve these objectives have also been studied. The role and functions of United Nations with regards to promotion of new global partnerships, peace, and governance including the role of private international organizations and multiregional trade complexes have also been highlighted. It is observed that the purpose of these international institutions which were created, were primarily to provide financing to the developing organizations including framing of rules and procedures for effective and harmonious global economic development. However, the tilt is towards giving more attention to developed economies and the focus on developing economies has been minimal. This has jeopardized the growth and development of these developing economies and reduced their participation and stakeholdership in the global forum/international community to attain effective and proper global economic development. This has posed a serious challenge to attain global peace, effective global governance and in turn promotion of SDGs. Hence, it would be appropriate and in the fitness of things to confer adequate and proper autonomy to these national institutions of importance working in various developing economies/countries to carve a niche for themselves to participate in adequate representations to make the international/global agenda as slated by UN, effective and successful. This in turn would definitely go a long way in attaining global peace, governance and justice and in achieving the SDGs by turn of 2030 as adopted by United Nations.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75890027","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 trade aspects of information economies including the ICT tools and the ICT enabled services have also been dealt with to assess the role and the impact of ICT tools in implementation of international trade among various countries to enable to achieve sustainable development goals targeted by the United Nations by the turn of 2030. The paper also highlights the various aspects of information technology tools such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, robotics, framework of digital economy, e-commerce and e-Trade readiness etc., among others. The role of UNCTAD as an international organization with regards to promoting ICT tools and IT-enabled services to achieve international trade and in particular e-Trade and e-commerce leading to a seamless digital economy among various countries have also been focused in the research study. The data protection laws of various economies both developed and developing, have also been assessed to study specifically the role and impact of these cyber laws/data protection laws on the international economy including their related implications/ramifications on the regional, national and local economies, which would have a significant and sizeable impact on international trade including e-Trade among various economies. Though the developing economies including undeveloped, small island and landlocked economies have more or less good IT penetration, but their data protection laws seems to be still in prototype stage and need to be synchronized and integrated with the global data protection laws to achieve global e-commerce and e-Trade and a robust global digital economy.

It has been also observed in two decades that there is a major paradigm shift in adventure seekers taste and preferences. The companies who are continuously monitoring and focusing on these issues are much more strategically successful than the rest. There is an intense competition in the market and every company wants to fill the vacuum of the market by providing desired tourism services and services to the adventure seekers. In current market scenario, the studies show that adventure seekers are now health and environment conscious. Perhaps this is the reason, that the concept of tourism services and virgin tourism are taking place slowly and steadily in the market. It can be also as a paradigm shift for those companies, who believe in innovation and redesigning their tourism services and services in ecological manner. It is a perfect time for those entrepreneurs who want to come and be a part of this evitable tourism market. The purpose of this research paper is to aim in general to understand the opportunities for touripreneures in the transforming scenario of market paradigm shift.

The difference between one organization and another, in term of performance and skill utilization has been linked not only to the quality of their knowledge repositories, but also to how knowledge is shared among organizational members. This paper reviewed some extant literature and discovered that the most important of all knowledge management processes lies in knowledge sharing. Rather than keeping our stock of both tacit and explicit knowledge to ourselves, we should endeavor to share knowledge because our stock of knowledge does not deplete when we share it. Rather, knowledge sharing reinforces our knowledge base and makes knowledge to stick and become more permanent. As a matter of fact, the tacit knowledge which resides in the knower goes with the holder when he or she dies. This paper also supports the formulation of a conceptual framework that will establish a link between knowledge management and the organizational learning process.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80535054","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 body of academic literature on the issue of receptivity of Chinese products has grown with a focus on the consumer perception factors of country-of-origin, consumer nationalism, price sensitivity and quality of product. Prior research findings regarding receptivity, as per these perception factors, has been quite diverse but with studies about Western nations providing the most negative responses. The originality and value of this study is that this is the first academic work performed to assess receptivity of Chinese products by consumers in Myanmar. Applying convenience sampling, students at a national educational institution in Myanmar’s principal city, Yangon, were examined by conducting a self-administered questionnaire containing both close-ended and open-ended questions. Null hypotheses were tested for consistency in the presentation of the findings due to the variability of statistical significance discovered in the literature review. The findings indicated that frequent purchasers of Chinese products were more likely to regard the factors of country-of-origin and consumer nationalism over non-frequent purchases and that no statistically significant differences occurred regarding the perception factors of price sensitivity and product quality. The study also found mixed differentials when assessing by ethnic origins, with Myanmar consumers of Chinese ancestry indicating higher mean differences regarding the perception factors of country-of-origin and product quality over non-Chinese Myanmar. Suggestions for future research were made to provide utilitarian data that will assist practitioners along the supply chain, from manufacturers to retailers.","PeriodicalId":37927,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management and Business Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72745212","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}

If exists the credence to a truthful leader might have side effects such as success in the life philosophy, radiation of happiness and commitment to organizations. The desired outcome should serve for all. The aim of this study is to measure the commitment level affected by credence to a truthful leader. To serve this aim a survey has been conducted throughout all the workers of the industry leading textile retail dealer firm of Turkey in 2016 which is believed to have a truthful leader. A multiple regression analysis had been executed to measure the relation from the predictors of credence to leader to the dimensions of commitment. It was assumed to be three kinds of commitment: affective, continuity, and normative. Credence to a truthful leader had affected commitments mostly by the predicting conditions of the leader: a. being honest and fair, b. creating a positive work environment, c. self-confidence, d. sharing information, e. delegation and heeding the followers, e. not creating tension, and f. trust worthiness. The results reported in the article were generally consistent with the prior studies. To conclude it is safe to say that solidarity can only be achieved through credence to a common dream. If the project to give life to that dream was well designed, it would be possible to have power to created corporate spill over’s. The study was one of the attempts to make happy both the organizations and individuals working within.
