    Capital budgeting practices: a survey in the selected Indian manufacturing firms
    (IDEAS is a RePEc, 2019) Chadha, Saurabh; Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the capital budgeting practices prevalent in the selected Indian manufacturing firms. The study also determines the factors which sample firms consider for the ascertainment of their cost of capital. Further, the study throws a light on some of the issues which led to the ignorance of scientific evaluation techniques of project appraisal. The study was conducted with the help of survey method. The findings of the survey show that payback period method and NPV method are the two most popular techniques of capital budgeting in the Indian manufacturing sector. Although, the overall weightage of the non-discounting technique is more when compared to the discounting methods. It was also found that WACC is the most used method to determine the cost of capital in the sample firms. Thus, this study provides a useful insight of capital budgeting practices of Indian manufacturing firms. The study will be helpful for investors who are looking to invest in Indian manufacturing sector under the Make in India program and it is the first study of its kind which covers the ignorance aspect of the capital budgeting techniques.

    Retail Location Decision Using an Integrated DEMATEL-ANP method: Retail Location
    (IGI Global, 2018) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Routroy, Srikanta
    This study focuses on developing a model for making retail location decisions which addresses the limitations of existing methods. The integrated DEMATEL-ANP method used here successfully accounts for interdependencies between the selected criteria. After reviewing the existing methods for decision making, the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation (DEMATEL) and the Analytical Network Process (ANP) methods were chosen. DEMATEL evaluates the degrees of influence the criteria have on each other. ANP is used to assign weights to criteria and the sub-criteria, and eventually derive the weights for the alternative locations. The integrated model helps prioritize among the available alternatives based on scientific methods, much more reliable than intuition and experience based methods still practiced today. Adopting this method can help retail chains make more informed decisions. This is the first time an integrated DEMATEL-ANP method has been applied in the context of retail location decision.

    Risk Management in Construction Projects
    (Sage, 2011-07) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    Risks are unavoidable in almost every construction project whether it is building projects, civil works, or any other type of construction projects. Risk is inherent in all human endeavors, including construction activities, and the risk factors involved are diverse and varied. Managing construction project risks is considered as compulsory for any project to be successful. Thus, this study aims to identify and classify the types of construction project risks, to evaluate the level of construction project risks and finally, to identify the methods available to reduce or mitigate the construction project risks. This study also demonstrates a quantitative approach to Construction Risk Management through Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The entire methodology is explained through a case study of the Delhi metro bridge collapse and its effectiveness in building a speedy and well judged response is demonstrated.

    Risk Management in Construction Projects Using Combined Analytic Hierarchy Process and Risk Map Framework
    (SSRN, 2014-07) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    This paper aims at developing a risk management framework for project risk management in construction projects and demonstrate its application in an ongoing construction project in Amravati, Maharashtra, India. The various risk factors encountered in construction projects and various risk management methods already in use are identified and then a framework is developed which combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and risk map methods. The data was collected from various stakeholders in the construction project. The findings reveal that the proposed framework helps managers to objectively find out the most important risk factor associated with the project and accordingly work towards risk minimization.

    An Empirical Study on Supply Chain Risk Management Strategies in Indian Automobile Industry
    (SSRN, 2015-08) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Bhat, Anil Kumar; Routroy, Srikanta
    Supply chain disruptions, major or minor, have affected supply chains negatively. Literature shows that supply chain disruptions also lead to reduction in shareholder value. Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM) has become a concern for boardrooms, and companies have started to think how they can better manage their supply chains to survive and continue operations. This paper provides insights into SCRM in Indian automobile sector. Strategies used to deal with supply chain risks are explored in this paper. First a taxonomy is suggested based on the review of the extant literature, i.e., proactive strategies, coping strategies, aligning strategies, early warning strategies and survival strategies. These strategies are then empirically tested in the context of Indian automobile industry. A total SCRM strategy index is calculated and the status of Indian automobile industry in SCRM is discussed.

    Developing a Framework for Analyzing Global Supply Chain Security
    (SSRN, 2015-12) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    Global supply chain security became a critical issue for governments and firms alike after the attacks of 9/11 in New York city. Past researchers have gone ahead of the classical notion of security in the context of supply chain as protection of facilities and inventory only. The paper aims at analyzing and explaining global supply chain security in an overall comprehensive way regarding all factors — the need for supply chain security, the measures that can be taken, their barriers to implementation and outcomes. A framework was formed to explain global supply chain security from all angles. The framework consists of elements like drivers (the need for supply chain security), strategies (measures to secure supply chains), barriers (limitations to implementation of security measures) and outcomes (results of security measures taken). The framework given in the paper can give a brief idea to practitioners and researchers about supply chain security on a comprehensive level. Each element of the framework can be picked up by researchers for future research.

    Measuring the Impact of Socially Responsible Supply Chains on Firm Performance
    (Prabandhan, 2018-10) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar; Chadha, Saurabh
    Most supply chain managers in the world optimize supply chains by helping different stakeholders in supply chains. Traditionally, business firms optimize the performance and compromise their pay-offs in order to increase profits (by lowering cost) of the entire supply chain. However, recent literature has hinted at another dimension to improving performance for companies by having socially responsible supply chains that take into consideration the triple bottom line approach. Literature has discussed the conceptual frameworks and empirical studies on supply chain sustainability, but there is a lack of studies on the effect of socially responsible supply chain practices on business performance. This research paper aimed at understanding the impact of having supply chains that are socially responsible and used the event study methodology to understand the impact of socially responsible supply chains on companies' performance.

    Optimal selection of third-party logistics service providers using quality function deployment and Taguchi loss function
    (Emerald, 2015-10) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    Selection of logistics service provider (LSP) (also known as Third-party logistics (3PL) is a critical decision, because logistics affects top and bottom line as well. Companies consider logistics as a cost driver and at the time of LSP selection decision, many important decision criteria’s are left out. 3PL selection is multi-criteria decision-making process. The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated approach, combining quality function deployment (QFD), and Taguchi loss function (TLF) to select optimal 3PL.

    Risk adjusted total cost of ownership model for strategic sourcing decisions
    (Inder Science, 2016-03) Sharma, Satyendra Kumar
    The aim of this research is to develop a strategic sourcing decision model that incorporates the cost elements and risk elements. This paper demonstrates the effect of supply chain disruptions on total cost of ownership (TCO) in sourcing decisions. A suitable methodology was designed to conduct this research. Brainstorming method was used to identify relevant cost and risk factors in a sourcing context. Then, failure mode and effects analysis and analytic hierarchy process was used for quantifying and prioritising supply chain risks in sourcing context. This research propounds that an actual cost of sourcing is much higher than TCO. When buying firm considers only TCO model, then TCO comes at 156.75 M INR and when buying firm considers combined TCO and risk, then total cost comes out to be 270.89 M INR. Riskiness of supplier and susceptibility of supplier's environment to risks greatly affects total cost of doing business.
