Item Measurement of Trade Costs, its Determinants and Trade Growth. Accounting for India with its Asian Trading Partners(ICPE, 2016-02) Arora, RahulGravity model of international trade established a fact that international trade of an economy is highly affected by the trade costs incurred locally and across borders. These costs are the difference between production cost of a traded commodity and its price paid by the ultimate buyers. The present study calculates the trade costs of Indian economy with its Asian trading partners. The study is developed in three stages: It measures the trade costs for India with its trading partners from the Asian region; it also estimates the determinants of trade costs by using the data on the available trade cost proxies; and thereafter, it decomposes the growth of Indian trade into the contribution of growth in income, the contribution of the decline in bilateral trade costs, and the contribution of the decline in multilateral resistance. It is found that the trade costs of India with all its Asian partners have declined throughout the whole study period (1995-2013). The decline in Indian trade costs was the highest in West Asia followed by Southeast Asia, East Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia. The variables, used as determinants of trade costs, namely: contiguity, distance, tariffs, non-tariff barriers, exchange rate, and port infrastructure, behaved according to the theoretical expectations. Furthermore, the decomposition of the growth of Indian trade with Asian partners revealed that the decline in the relative bilateral trade costs was the driving force of growth of Indian trade with all the Asian regions.Item Concentrating solar power – Technology, potential and policy in India(Elsevier, 2011-12) Soni, Manoj KumarThe global demand for energy is growing and conventional energy sources like coal and petroleum are depleting, and renewable resources will play a crucial role in the future. The development of clean and sustainable energy technology is imperative to avert the impending climatic crisis. A worthy investment option is concentrating solar power (CSP) technology which has the capacity to provide for about 7% of the total electricity needs projected for the world by 2030 and 25% by 2050 (considering a high-energy-saving, high-energy-efficiency scenario) [1]. In the present study, the various concentrators available have been explored. Countries all over the world have recognized the potential for CSP and numerous plants are being planned and constructed with incentives offered by the governments. In India, the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat have the potential for widespread application of CSP technology to harness the solar resource. The launch of The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) in 2008 by the Indian Government and its initiatives, complemented by state solar policy passed by the states of Rajasthan and Gujarat, will go a long way in the establishment of CSP to supply a segment of India's upcoming energy needs.Item Interpretive Structural Modeling Approach for Development of Electric Vehicle Market in India(Elsevier, 2015) Digalwar, Abhijeet K.The automobile industry is at its maximum growth since few years because of revolutionary changes in Information Technology and greater living standards created by the citizens of India. The booming market obviously puts a lot of pressure on the available stagnant resources like crude oil, natural gas, fossil fuels etc. The supply and demand are crossing the breakeven point and the situation can be worsened if an alternative doesn’t replace the existing crisis. The Electric Vehicle (EV) is one of the alternative solutions to overcome the crises. But EV market is at a nascent stage in India when compared with other developed and emerging countries. There are many factors which affect the growth of electric vehicle market in India. The present paper discusses most critical factors for the promotion and development of EV market in India with the help of an Interpretive Structural Model (ISM).Item Bridging the Qualification Gap between Academia and Industry in India(Elsevier, 2017) Sangwan, Kuldip SinghThe massive demand for complementary training of engineering graduates in India indicates a mismatch between academic education and industry requirements. This paper identifies the gap between academia and industry and presents an approach to bridge it using the concept of Learning Factories. The competencies of the newly graduate engineers and the competency requirements of Indian industry for graduates have been identified based on discussions with industry professionals and literature review. It has been found that the technical and social competency requirements match, but there is a gap regarding the methodological competency. This necessitates graduate engineer trainings at the start of employment. The additional trainings prove to be time consuming and costly for the industry. To bridge this gap a Learning Factory test bed has been implemented at a premier Indian university. It is expected that the proposed Learning Factory will make the Indian graduate engineers ready for the job at university level and the additional graduate engineer training redundant. The study also provides a roadmap of utilizing Learning Factories as an integral part for the Indian technical academic system.Item Development of lean manufacturing implementation drivers for Indian ceramic industry(Emerald, 2014-06) Sangwan, Kuldip SinghThe purpose of this paper is to develop a statistically reliable and valid model of lean manufacturing (LM) implementation drivers for the Indian ceramic industry through an empirical study.Item Using transcendental phenomenology to explore the social jugaads of transacting money post demonetisation in India(Inder Science, 2019-06) Singh, ShailiThe present study investigates the post effects of demonetisation that occurred in India on November 8, 2016, through the first-person point of view experience. The paper analyses individual and collective construction of social jugaad or innovative solutions that local people adopted for depositing and withdrawing the money alone or with the help of others. The region of study is a small tier-2 city of Rohtak, in the state of Haryana, which is in the proximity of the National Capital Region of the country. The study applies transcendental phenomenology to capture the essence of individual experiences and assess the universal meanings of the phenomenon. This research could be useful in understanding the possible ways in which people would react to such a step of the government and provides information for policymaking, aimed at addressing currency disposal behaviours.Item Talent management: a burgeoning strategic focus in Indian IT industry(Emerald, 2017-04) Naim, Mohammad FarazThe purpose of this paper is to examine the talent management (TM) system in an Indian IT organisation.Item Linking knowledge sharing, competency development, and affective commitment: evidence from Indian Gen Y employees(Emerald, 2017-07) Naim, Mohammad FarazThe present study aims to explore knowledge sharing to evoke affective commitment of Gen Y employees through competency developmentItem Evolving face of workplace learning and development: a case of an Indian HR consulting firm(Emerald, 2020-11) Naim, Mohammad FarazThe purpose of this paper is to illustrate existing learning and development (L&D) practices of an Indian HR consulting firm.Item Modeling the CSR barriers in manufacturing industries(Emerald, 2017-10) Goyal, PraveenThe purpose of this paper is to identify and rank the various barriers of the CSR implementation in Indian manufacturing companies. Further, this paper also studies interaction of different barriers.
