Our comprehensive literature survey focuses on understanding the approach of tourism academia in the context of luxury travel, which is constructed on the remarks from social media and the specialised areas with regards to the studies that were conducted prior to this. The ‘luxury tourism’, ‘elite travel’, ‘social media’ and ‘sustainability’ were used in different combinations to discover literature. This was done using Google Scholar, the ProQuest database, etc. The critical analysis was conducted based on the peer-reviewed publications. The following three areas were selected and reviewed: (a) social media’s importance in luxury tourism; (b) the behavioural features of luxury travellers who use various social media apps; and (c) existing literature surveys that provided the limitations of analysing data, specifically, in the context of luxury tourism. The examined papers and publications for the last 10 years, from March 2010 to March 2020, were considered to determine the themes and focus points, as well as to measure the value of social media in luxury travel. The article discusses the upcoming research issues, and the major hindrance in this is that it requires new conceptual and methodological frameworks to enhance deep understanding of the mediating effect between social media and the luxury tourist industry based on the findings of various reviews of literature.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132219915","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}

Most research in the area of crowdfunding has focused on the determinants of successful funding. To the best of our knowledge, very few studies exist about what happens to a project with an unsuccessful funding on crowdfunding platforms. Do the entrepreneurs who failed to get funding from crowdfunding platform abandon their project or do they persist with it and try to find alternate sources to make their dream come true? In this article, we study the determinants of persistence of an entrepreneur to bring their project to life after failing to receive funding from crowdfunding platforms.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133183695","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}

Prakash, Anurag Gupta, Simranjeet Kaur","doi":"10.1177/ijim.221109016","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/ijim.221109016","url":null,"abstract":"Companies now have been more aware of the increasing necessity of integrating environmental and human resources management practices. Green human resource management (GHRM) uses human resource management (HRM) strategies to foster sustainable resource usage in corporate organisations and advances the issues of environmental sustainability through disruptive technologies. To foster the implementation of GHRM uniformly throughout industries across the world could only reflect the marginal impact on environmental sustainability. The purpose of the research article is to identify whether the adoption of GHRM in the organisation brought behavioural change among employees towards organisational commitment that could lead environmental sustainability. The study is conducted amongst different public and private sector banks in the Varanasi district of Uttar Pradesh, India, through primary data collection of 330 respondents. For analysing the adoptability of green behaviour amongst employees in the organisation, we have adopted structural equation modelling to examine the employee’s commitment. The test result of the above tool of studying the four different latent variables leads us to conclude that path analysis and load factor exhibited stronger relationship through post-moderating effect, that is, latent variables lead towards green commitment. This leads us to conclude that organisations are trying to get environmental sustainability through GHRM practices, which in turn gives them a status of an environmentally sensitive organisation as well as some edge in this competitive environment. As a policy government is also expecting from organisations to develop themselves as environmentally sensitive by providing impetus of employee’s commitment.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127089025","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 provided its mark in finance with cryptocurrency. Its security, robustness, interoperability and reliability have promised application in various areas, but the demonstrated use of blockchain technology is rare. The stakeholders are in the process of decision-making about the adoption of blockchain and assimilating with this new technology. This article discusses blockchain technology adoption with theories that were formed on adoption, infusions and assimilation of technologies by firms and individuals. Blockchain technology will be adopted by firms, but most of the theories of adoption have been developed around individuals. Therefore, an assumption has been made that the premise for the firm will be the same as the premise for individuals, in the context of blockchain. Various firms, and the Indian government, are in the process of decision-making regarding blockchain. This article delivers explanations of constructs of different theories in the context of blockchain technology. This explanation will help practitioners to understand and analyse the adoption of blockchain technology in the context of their industry practice, and for academicians, it will act as the base to develop measurement tools for different assessments in the blockchain.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133930995","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 data of sectoral indices were collected from the Bombay Stock Exchange. The underlying series is evaluated as non-stationary at the level, but stationary in the first difference, using the augmented Dickey–Fuller unit root test. The multivariate co-integration analysis and vector error correction model indicates that there are long-term links between macroeconomic variables and sectoral indices in the information technology sector. Meanwhile, the research using the vector auto regression model approach shows that there are short-run correlations between macroeconomic variables and sectoral indices, namely Basic Materials, Fast Moving Consumer Goods, Finance, Healthcare, Information Technology, Auto, Bankex, Power and Reality. The results document that OP, GP and ER simultaneously have a significant effect on sectoral indices in the Indian stock market. To stabilise the stock market post-COVID-19, the authorities are advised to put economic policies sector-wise to accelerate the economic growth and to maintain fiscal discipline. The authorities need to stabilise the aforementioned macroeconomic variables to accelerate the economic growth as the ER has a significant negative impact on all sectors.","PeriodicalId":403169,"journal":{"name":"IMIB Journal of Innovation and Management","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126943248","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}
