    Value appropriation in inter-firm coopetitive alliances: case of the Indian pharmaceutical industry
    (Taylor & Francis, 2023) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Yadav, Neetu
    Coopetition research is evolving in management practice, with an increasing number of firms relying on collaborating with competitors to boost up their product development and foster innovation. The competition and collaboration dualism in coopetitive alliances has led to a lot of coopetition research on value creation and value appropriation in strategic coopetitive alliances. Though inter-firm value appropriation has been studied in diverse settings, and the assortment of theoretical perspectives has been adopted, most research on inter-firm value appropriation has concentrated around either the firms’ bargaining power, or the isolating mechanisms deployed by firms to exploit or defend appropriation streams. Our research approach is a qualitative study, intending to inform research about configurations of value appropriation by identifying the determinants of value appropriation in interfirm coopetitive alliances. We conduct a context interview with a senior leader from the Indian pharmaceutical industry (IPI) to propose a framework based on determinants influencing value appropriation in coopetitive interfirm alliances in the IPI. Overall, our results provide unique insights into how pharmaceutical firms in a coopetitive dyadic alliance perceive value appropriation, how different factors influence the value appropriation and provide guidance to managers on what factors or mechanisms can help in appropriating value in a coopetitive alliance. Further, we identify a set of opportunities for future research studies that may inspire the advancement of research on value appropriation in coopetitive alliances.

    Future-forward education: a multi-stakeholder approach to gen Z learning
    (Academy of Management, 2024-07) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Mahesh, Jayashree
    This paper explores the evolving landscape of higher education in response to the unique characteristics and expectations of Generation Z students. The authors emphasize the need for a comprehensive framework that aligns teaching methods with the preferences of Gen Z, addressing challenges in pedagogy and learning. The futuristic learning framework adopted in the study proposes a multi-stakeholder systems approach, considering input from students, faculty, and administrators. This study provides an integrative literature review, drawing insights from 185 papers categorized into 13 key areas. It reviews the influence of societal shifts on educational approaches to generate new insights for the educational framework and covers diverse aspects including managing student expectations, addressing faculty needs, delivering subject matter, developing evaluation methods, and understanding industry requirements among others. It delves into transformational learning methods tailored for Gen Z, including content delivery, pedagogical techniques, and innovative e-learning technologies. The framework also highlights the importance of aligning educational outcomes with industry and other regulatory requirements, fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, and integrating contributions to society. The paper concludes by highlighting the need to introduce experiential pedagogy, specifically Service Learning to enrich Gen Z's learning experience, preparing them for leadership roles and societal responsibilities thereby helping them to self-actualize.

    Effect of facilitating conditions on the use of social networks as pedagogical tool in higher education
    (Springer, 2024-10) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Dutta, Nirankush
    As internet connectivity gains ubiquity and social network sites emerge as the most popular venue for gathering of people of all ages, the government and educationists can think of putting social networks to better use by using it as a pedagogical tool, especially for higher education. Although some studies have been conducted in this regard, the findings often seem to lack proper scientific and statistical validation. Moreover, majority of these research works having been conducted in the Western countries, may not hold true in case of developing countries like India. The current research work focuses on this need and attempts to explore the present status of usage of social media in Indian institutes of higher education. Taking cue from the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology, proposed by Venkatesh et al. (MIS Q 2(3): 425–478, 2003), we have checked whether there is a significant difference in perception among faculty members, students and administrators of higher educational institutions regarding availability of facilitating conditions to use social network sites for educational purposes. Appropriate statistical techniques have been used on a random sample to empirically validate the findings, which indicate that the expectation of faculty members, students and administrators in institutes of higher education vary regarding use of social media for academic purposes.

    Role of policyholders’ beliefs in life insurance lapses: a model building approach
    (Emerald, 2024-09) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Tikoria, Jyoti
    This study aims to understand the lapse behavior of life insurance policyholders. Despite being accessible for nearly two centuries, only a small fraction of individuals purchase such policies and many of those who do let them lapse. The belief hypothesis model (BHM) is introduced to elucidate the correlation between policyholders' beliefs and their decisions regarding life insurance lapses.

    Market discipline and the risk-taking behaviour of banks in India
    (Wiley, 2023-07) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Chanda, Udayan
    After the financial crisis, the Indian banking system has accumulated a mountain of bad loans which has crippled the banking sector and halted the credit flow to the industry. Several immediate causes for the bad loan crisis have been pointed out. However, poor market discipline, the ultimate root cause of the bad loan crisis, has not been paid adequate attention. This study seeks to investigate how effectively the market disciplinary forces, captured through information disclosure, interbank deposits, concentration and owner- ship structure, incentivise the Indian banks to adopt prudential risk manage- ment by enhancing their risk-weighted capital ratio. The findings of the study show that information disclosure and interbank deposits do not induce prudential risk behaviour among banks in India. However, with increasing concentration in the banking sector, a higher level of information disclosure effectively induces banks to maintain higher capital ratios, but inter-bank deposits do not have any significant effect on bank capital. We also observe that government banks maintain lower capital ratios as compared to private banks indicating government banks' higher expectation of government bailout.

    Empowering informed life insurance decisions: the impact of financial literacy on framing effects
    (Emerald, 2024-10) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Tikoria, Jyoti
    This study investigates the impact of financial literacy on consumers’ intention to purchase life insurance policies with a framing effect. Although life insurance companies use framing to nudge consumers, this marketing tactic fails to foster long-term relationships and informed decisions. The study introduced a financial literacy education comparing the benefits of life insurance with traditional banking instruments. Using a rating-based conjoint analysis experiment, the effects of financial literacy on premium and benefit framing were tested and analyzed with three-way ANCOVA and Hayes Process. Results indicate that financial literacy significantly increases purchase intention for policies with monthly premiums and aggregate benefits.

    Bad loan build-up in India: A reflection of soft budget constraint
    (Modern Finance Institute, 2024-12) Bhat, Anil Kumar
    This paper analyses the non-performing assets (NPA) crisis in the Indian banking system from the perspective of soft budget constraints. Using a panel dataset of 105 publicly listed firms, it explores the relationship between NPAs and bank lending behaviour, particularly examining credit rationing regarding firm size and risk level. The findings indicate that Indian banks favour large firms over smaller ones, while credit rationing is not adequately aligned with borrower riskiness. However, the Asset Quality Review (AQR) by the Reserve Bank of India and the introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) seem to have enforced risk-based lending to some extent. These results shed light on the systemic issues that drive NPAs, linking them to governance weaknesses and the prevalence of soft budget constraints.

    A Preliminary Study on the Use of Social Media in Higher Education
    (SSRN, 2022-02) Bhat, Anil Kumar; Dutta, Nirankush
    The study focused on the influence of social media on students, faculty members and administrators and how they can adopt social media for their academic and work purposes in higher education institutes within India. We developed a conceptual model based on the UTAUT (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology) model, by adapting a few constructs and customising to fit the context. 756 respondents attempted the online survey. Of these, 400 were students, 199 faculties and 157 administrators. Respondents from 105 cities spread across 25 states participated in the survey. Due to the onset of the COVID pandemic, we resorted to the online collection method. The study considers three constructs – Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use and Social Influence as direct determinants that will influence the behavioural intentions of the users in higher education. We ran a series of basic descriptive analyses, T-tests and ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) for the data collected across all groups to determine if a significant difference exists in the perception, between groups. Results show that social media is perceived as a driver for innovation amongst all the three groups – students, faculty and administrators. However, there are differences in the positive-negative response ratio, which has however not affected the overall positive inclination of the combined responses of all groups. The current study may be an invaluable source of information for researchers to understand how the groups perceive social media.
