The present work was inspired by the importance of the prepositioning of relief items and the convolution that affects the determination of their location. Expert interviews were used to verify the factors for PRI identified through the literature review. A factor rating system (FRS) under the group decision-making (GDM) is suggested to establish the weights of the criteria. The interviews with decision makers showed the dissimilarity of decision opinions, thus confirming the significance of GDM. The results of the present study are imperative from the decision maker’s perspective as managerial insights have been considered. The model is constructed based on the subjective opinion of experts and can be further validated statistically. This study can be further carried out the using of another technique, such as Fuzzy-FRS, with a greater number of factors. The results of this study will be valuable for decision makers planning of facility locations for the prepositioning of relief items. The proposed FRS approach highlights the significance of using multiple decision-makers to enhance the sense of possession of an established PRI. To the best of our knowledge, a factor rating system (FRS) under group decision-making (GDM) has not been considered concurrently for one particular problem (facility location) in humanitarian logistics. This study provides an in-depth analysis of prepositioning of relief items.","PeriodicalId":394459,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Research and Analysis","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128367158","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}

Gandhi was fighting against extreme poverty, backwardness and socio-economic challenges as a part of the freedom movement. While the world has progressed manifold over the past century, the past few decades has forced to pursue that progress, mostly in terms of economic growth. The poster word for development, capitalism, has been busy in most countries. Trusteeship is a unique concept advocated by Gandhi to establish social and economic equality. It is a concept that has its origins in spirituality, in which a person voluntarily surrenders his surplus wealth, and entrusts it for the welfare of the poor section of the society.","PeriodicalId":394459,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Research and Analysis","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114251337","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 payment through cards, using both debit and credit cards, is one of the early innovations in the modern payment system in the country. Several intermediaries are involved in the effective functioning of card payment mechanism. As a result, the card payment infrastructure has grown remarkably well across India. The volume of payments made through these devices as well as the value of card payments increased rapidly in the last two decades. Among the commercial banks, the State Bank of India dominates in the maintenance of ATM infrastructure, the issue of cards and in the volume and value of card transaction. The private sector banks dominate in the installation of POS terminals and HDFC bank tops in the POS credit card transaction. However, the recent trend shows that the transaction through cards as a percentage of total retail electronic payments has been declining in India, as other retail payments platforms have become popular.","PeriodicalId":394459,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Research and Analysis","volume":"2011 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130965060","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 research evaluates Exide Industries by using the DCF Valuation technique. It is widely accepted that the discounted cash flow approach is an effective tool for analyzing the situation of an organization even in the most complicated circumstances. The DCF approach, on the other hand, is prone to huge assumption bias, and even little modifications in an analysis' underlying assumptions may substantially affect the valuation findings. As a result, of the sensitivity analysis, we discovered bullish, base, and worst-case scenarios with target share prices of Rs. 253.25, Rs. 171.37, and Rs.133.25, respectively, by adjusting growth and WACC (Weighted-Average Cost of Capital) values.","PeriodicalId":394459,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Research and Analysis","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127643940","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}
