Through a focus group discussion, it first attempts to understand the perceptions of International Students (ISs) regarding diverse aspects of the university in detail. By employing exploratory factor analysis on the data collected from 99 ISs, it then tries to identify and explain the factors that could have had a bearing on the student’s overall satisfaction with the university experience. Lastly, it segments the respondents into two clusters, differentiating them on varying satisfaction parameters using cluster analysis. Through the study, we have been able to identify the various challenges faced by ISs and suggest ways to make their experience more satisfactory. The results underline a substantial need for the university to emphasise the socio-cultural integration of ISs and streamline the admission process to attract them because satisfied ISs are more likely to recommend their institution to prospective students.","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131816472","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 sample consisted of all ten banks listed on S&P BSE Bankex representing a large market share of the Indian banking sector. The Sustainability/CSR/Business responsibility reports of the sample companies for the F.Y 2019-20 were examined through the content analysis method using a self-developed Sustainability Reporting Disclosure Index (SRDI) based on the review of literature and standards on sustainability disclosure. The multiple regression technique is used to identify significant corporate attributes affecting Sustainability Reporting (SR). The findings indicate that dimensions like environment, human rights and labour practices are the least reported by selected banks. The regression results show that there is a positive and significant impact of size and leverage on the level of sustainability disclosure whereas age, profitability, and international presence are found to be insignificant. Corporate attributes like size, leverage and international presence are found to be positively and significantly associated with sustainability reporting among the selected banks. However, age and profitability are found to have a negative relationship. The empirical studies on the extent of ESG disclosure and its relationship with firm characteristics especially in the banking sector of developing countries like India are scarce, so this study is an attempt to fill this gap.","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126681508","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 migrant labourers deserted by their employers during the pandemic is one such example. The widespread challenge was to ensure the supply of food and other essential stuff. This study highlights the food-management skills in the form of gratis community kitchens (langars) that provided free food and other related stuff to millions during the pandemic. Purely guided by its religious beliefs, the Sikh community came forward to rescue the people in its neighbourhood. This paper is based on descriptive methodology. It uses content analysis as its primary tool, along with a literature review. News reports and articles published in the print media have been used to analyse the social and economic value attached to the Sewa (selfless service) and langar (free food) benefits. Analysis indicates that Langar run by the Sikh community as gratis guided by their religious beliefs ensured free food supply to the millions across the world. These free kitchens turned into professionally managed ‘Free Food Management Centres’ and ensured food supply to the people impacted by pandemic. Academic research has concentrated mainly on the role of NGOs and the government in relief measures during COVID-19. This study is an attempt to highlight the role of religious communities in managing Covid inflicted challenges. The discussion in this paper is limited to the part of the Sikh community in ensuring a free food supply during COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125961183","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 decentralized marketplace it proposes represents a significant Business Model Innovation (BMI) and a new normative marketing tool. We suggest it has the potential to be disruptive from an International Marketing (IM) perspective, shifting the focus from owners as agents, to a shared one with renters and agents. This is supportive of the paradigm where marketing is focused on facilitating and maintaining relationships. Using code that we developed, we illustrate how a decentralized application (dAirBnB) can promote disintermediation and can be built to optimize price discovery. Utilizing block chain technology, we show how trust originates from the distributed consensus enforced by a network of peers. This trusted interaction is facilitated between untrusted parties over the internet, thereby changing the marketing relationship. In this respect, the application and the business model are inextricably linked. Enabled by the technology, we propose a monetization of reputation, which introduces the concept of good behaviour as an asset in a marketing context. We explore the implications of this for both BMI and IM. Our approach would increase the quality and quantity of information in online rentals, both major dimensions of marketing advantage. The dominant position of AirBnB represents a limitation on the implementation of our approach and would be an area for policy makers to focus on.","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133242503","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}

In recent years, one such big change is the integration of three major flagship programmes for education, namely: Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan (RMSA) & Teacher Education (TE) under one umbrella scheme known as Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SMSA). As financial year 2018-19 is the initial year for implementation of the scheme, hence, this paper explores the planning and budgeting aspects of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan in selected states of India. The study has been carried out for the eight states, viz., Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi, for the period of 2018-19 to 2019-20. The paper studies the financing of education under SMSA. The paper also analyses the distribution of support from the union government under the scheme. Drawing on the lessons from such analysis, the historical background and past experiences of implementation of previous education schemes, viz., Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, and Teacher Education, the paper examines the design and ground level challenges of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan in selected states of India.","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114726204","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}

Managed funds bring with them the expertise of fund managers along with the benefits of diversification and lower costs. The sensitivity of fund flows defines the ability of the fund manager in offering expected future returns. Mutual fund flows exhibit time series characteristics, it being financial data collected at regular intervals over a time period. This paper studies the dynamics of mutual fund flows by utilising time series regression modelling. Monthly fund flows data for a sample of 142 equity open-ended growth orientation across major marketcap categories – Large Cap, Large and Mid Cap, Multi Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap have been analysed using ARIMA Modelling in the R software package. Appropriate lag length and the presence of a unit root have been investigated with the help of established techniques coupled with suitable checks of robustness. Model of best fit has been used to forecast monthly fund flows for a lag length of 60. Our study leads us to two major outcomes. One, unlike many developed and emerging markets, fund flows in the chosen sample do not confirm to positive feedback trading hypothesis. This lends credible support to the absence of irrational exuberance in mutual fund investments. Second, equity-based funds in Large Cap, Large and Mid Cap, and Multi Cap category exhibit strong trend component while funds in Mid Cap and Small Cap category have a strong random component. Beginner investors can take advantage of alpha offered by fund managers possessing effective market -timing skills, an indicator of trend-investing strategy. Funds belonging to these categories are also lesser prone to market volatility in comparison to Mid Cap and Small Cap funds, being more suitable for experienced investors","PeriodicalId":431578,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Thought","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127821800","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}

Only a few institutions delivered education through digital or hybrid modes. However, with the onset of COVID-19, the digital mode of education has gained popularity, and its prevalence is now commonplace. There is no easy substitute for the digital mode of education and its adoption involves multilevel changes. This paper examines adoption of the digital mode of imparting education by Higher Education Institutions (HEI) in India. Web interviews were undertaken with principal stakeholders hailing from diverse sets of India’s higher education institutions with the aim to understand in-depth, digital practices during COVID-19. Qualitative tools were used to analyse the data. The institutions found to be using heterogeneous ways to disseminate learning. While some of them practice a basic form of digitalisation, some had developed their own best practices. As a behavioural pattern, the development and prevalence of the digital mode may continue even post COVID-19. However, education through digital mode will persist to be plagued with challenges like digital divide.
