Using Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM), the study identifies the following four clusters of enablers: autonomous, linkage, dependent and driving. Furthermore, the research findings suggest that inclusive leadership acts as a key driving factor for promoting inclusivity in the organisation. The study offers practical implications for human resource managers to develop targeted strategies to create an inclusive culture and enhance overall organisational performance by recognising and prioritising the identified enablers.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141055425","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 pandemic had a detrimental effect on India’s economic growth, with trade and commerce being one of the worst affected segments of the economy. While the COVID-19-induced lockdown across the country severely affected significant retail chains and micro-retailers, it also created a boom in the e-commerce market. In this context, a survey was conducted across India to study the impact of COVID-19 on e-commerce in India using primary data. The results after data analysis clearly suggested that the post-pandemic period witnessed a significant rise in all spheres of the e-commerce market, and public familiarity with this concept also increased, which eventually resulted in an increase in both demand for and revenue from e-commerce.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"341 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140703166","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}

{"title":"Exploring Innovation and Public Health Priorities Within the Realm of Medical Sociology of India During COVID-19 Pandemic","authors":"Pratham Parekh","doi":"10.1177/jinm.241242857","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/jinm.241242857","url":null,"abstract":"In the context of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian medical innovation ecosystem confronted substantial challenges in meeting the pressing healthcare requirements of the nation. These challenges demand a comprehensive examination to discern the critical issues in Indian Medical Sociology about medical innovations. The primary objective of this study is to assess the intricate interplay between the approaches employed in drug and vaccine development and their consequential effects on affordability and accessibility. Concurrently, it aims to evaluate the efficacy of the existing policy measures affecting social divisions that have emerged because the supply-driven health system has exacerbated. A qualitative research methodology has been adopted for this inquiry, utilising thematic analysis to dissect the intricacies of the Indian medical innovation ecosystem. The study unfurls the following noteworthy discoveries that contribute to a nuanced understanding of the landscape: (a) it becomes evident that the predominant focus within the Indian medical innovation ecosystem revolves around creating affordable medical technologies and pharmaceuticals, often overshadowing the pursuit of cutting-edge advancements. (b) The strategies employed in developing drugs and vaccines exhibit a conspicuous inclination towards products that promise higher profits, subsequently giving rise to issues associated with affordability and accessibility. (c) While policy measures have been implemented with the intent of addressing the concern of affordability, their actual efficacy in ensuring equitable access to medical innovations raises significant doubts. (d) A discernible imbalance emerges between India's industrial and public health priorities, with economic growth overshadowing the imperative of bridging the existing social disparities. These insights collectively underline the imperative for strategic policy interventions, a more balanced approach to development, and establishing a multi-institutional framework. These actions are essential to confront the challenges related to affordability, accessibility and the aggravated social divisions that persist within the ecosystem. The study brings out the indispensable importance of cultivating a socially responsible and all-encompassing medical innovation ecosystem, not only as a means to address the prevailing healthcare challenges but also to foster an environment that guarantees equitable access to transformative medical innovations for all segments of society.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"47 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140698957","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 is yet to be determined how farmers and ‘the agrarians’ in India perceive different investment opportunities. The present study fills this gap in the investment avenues literature. Surveys and interviews were used to gather primary data, and secondary data sources comprised of journal papers, books and articles. The reliability of the scale and the internal consistency of the variables were evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha. The study employed one-way analysis of variance and rank correlation to assess its goals. The findings of the study show that significant deciding variables for choosing an investment include money, safety, time, trust and risk preferences. The results also highlighted the fact that older, higher-earning farmers and agrarians prefer investing only in bank deposits and postal savings accounts for reasons of safety and security. The findings of the study will help develop an investing tool that meets the needs of the national economy, financial institutions, the government and certain groups like farmers and agrarians while also being appropriate for them.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"22 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140699775","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 encompasses the use of artificial intelligence, big data, biomedical research including drug invention, medical education, innovative/robotic surgical technology, cutting-edge equipment, telemedicine, virtual consultation, online supportive platforms, etc. The present review is an attempt to identify and analyse the impact of these innovative information technologies and explore the potential scope of improvement in the Indian healthcare system. The database search was performed in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, ProQuest, Google Scholar and Wiley Online Library. Initially, 319 articles related to innovative digital healthcare technologies have been sourced. However, 105 articles were taken into consideration for the review due to various exclusion criteria. Through an extensive review of previously published articles, the present study concludes that undoubtedly information technologies and their applications aid providers reduce inefficiencies, increasing quality, increasing access, removing human errors, reducing costs and making diagnosis, treatment and medicine more personalised for patients. It has really improved the quality, quick and convenient healthcare system.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"27 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140745443","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}

{"title":"Cronbach’s Alpha: Genesis, Issues and Alternatives","authors":"Rohit Vishal Kumar","doi":"10.1177/ijim.241234970","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/ijim.241234970","url":null,"abstract":"The most widely used metric for assessing a scale’s reliability is Cronbach’s alpha. Since its introduction in 1951 by Lee Cronbach, it has evolved into the accepted benchmark for scale reliability. A quick search for ‘Cronbach’s alpha’ in Google Scholar yields more than 8 hundred thousand results. By any measure, this is enormous, and the usage of alpha appears to be present in practically every domain of academics. The fact that alpha has been so successful is surprising, as researchers have consistently criticised and have pointed out a plethora of problems with it. For instance, is that Cronbach never suggested alpha as a reliability metric—rather he proposed alpha as an alternative measure for equivalency in a test-retest context. Another issue Cronbach never suggested the lower bound of 0.70 as a benchmark of reliability. However, the lower bound of 0.70 has become the holy grail of scale reliability. Alpha continues to lead all measures of scale reliability despite its numerous issues. This article examines the history of alpha, its derivations based on classical test theory, and its limitations. It then suggests three alternative measures, along with software procedures to calculate them: alpha with confidence interval, omega and greatest lower bound. The purpose of this article is to enable researchers to have a better idea about the limitations of Cronbach’s alpha, and to make them aware of other measures of reliability which are available. It is hoped that this article will help researchers report better and more accurate reliability measures in their research works alongside the alpha.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"13 6‐7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140740997","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 article is to better understand the concept of gender inclusion and provide a comprehensive review of the available literature from the past decade in this domain. The present study followed a bibliometric approach to draw inferences from 206 articles published in English over the time span of 2013–2023, retrieved from Scopus. The research methodology comprises four steps: data collection, data analysis, data visualisation and data interpretation. The research on gender inclusion has significantly increased from 2018 to 2023. The findings show the top contributing authors, prominent journals, significant keywords and dominating sectors in the research area. Despite the growing academic interest, the research in this area is still in its infancy and requires attention from researchers. The key constraint of the study is that it is based on the Scopus database, and the relevant studies that are not published in Scopus are being eliminated. This article provides useful information for managers as well as policymakers to make gender inclusion a key component while framing policies and practices. The article will provide insight on equality and sustainable goals.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"11 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140745576","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 goal of digitization is to make basic financial services accessible to everybody, however, some undeserving people continue to live in remote areas outside the reach of financial services. The research looks at how newly licensed payment banks might engage with disadvantaged and migrant groups within the demographic pie to effectively achieve the inclusion goals of the Indian banking regulator. Financial inclusion is a significant step towards inclusive growth; thus, the article tries to explore how payment banks are facilitating the achievement of financial inclusion throughout the nation, with special reference to Paytm Payment Bank. The study uses descriptive and exploratory research design. The exploratory study is conducted using secondary data sources and the descriptive study is conducted using a well-structured questionnaire and statistical analysis was done to arrive at the results. Findings suggest that age, gender, occupation and educational qualification are associated with the preference to use payment banks and no association has been found between gender, age and educational qualification with the frequency of using Paytm Payment Bank. Results also reveal the positive and negative correlation between various variables. This study will assist numerous scholars and institutions in better understanding the meaning of payment banks and their role and contribution in financial inclusion.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"835 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140749366","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 procurement operation enables these organisations to navigate through increasing cost pressures. Within SC logistics, the procurement of RM faces numerous obstacles and complexities. To address these challenges and propose potential solutions, examining the specific issues that impact the procurement of RM in the Food Processing Industry (FPI) is necessary. Therefore, this article explores the challenges affecting the procurement process. The authors also provided recommendations for mitigating the identified challenges. This study utilises interpretive structural model methodology, a qualitative and interpretive approach that produces solutions for complicated issues through discussions based on the structural mapping of intricate relationships between elements to look at and analyse the challenges that affect the procurement process. A systematic review of the existing literature provides a comprehensive understanding of these challenges. The study found that challenges in contract and procurement, infrastructure and transportation, technology, govt regulations, quality and safety standards, etc., are the factors that constitute severe challenges and affect the growth of FPI. Data were collected from only those working in Indian companies or multinational companies operating in India. Every step of the process, starting from the development of the questionnaire to the data collection itself, is carried out with a focus on the Indian perspective. Addressing these problems and obstacles will yield advantages for decision-makers and stakeholders, including farmers, manufacturers, customers and consumer Food Business Organisations. It will enhance their comprehension of the current situation, identify issues and confront challenges, thereby facilitating improved planning and management strategies.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"200 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140746451","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}
