The success or failure of any organization can largely be attributed to its leadership. Thus, to have the appropriate kind of leadership that makes the organization sail through good and bad times is highly crucial. Leadership is all about safeguarding the interest of the organization and its people, and making a positive difference wherever they are. The test of leadership is the ability to deal with ambiguity, uncertainty and complexities. So, in today's competitive world, one needs to identify what differentiates an average leader from a great one or a great leader from an exemplary leader. This paper tries to find out the leadership challenges of today and the growing importance of exemplary leaders in the divergent sphere of the business worldKeywords

The study examines the perception of the respondents about auto services in Agartala. It obtained primary data from 200 passengers consisting of 120 men and rest women from the selected twenty auto routes of Agartala using quota and convenient sampling technique through schedule and personal interviews. Different statistical tests like Mann-Whitney test, Pearson's Chi-square test, factor analysis like Principal Component Analysis, were performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The reliability of the questions and sample adequacy test was also carried out. The results of the data analysis reveal that most of the respondents believe that in Agartala the frequency of auto service is good but the traffic rules are lean, auto unions control the services, fix the auto fares, the passengers are exploited so far as fare and safety is concerned. Further, the study points out on the implementation of strict rules, reducing the auto unions control, fixation of fares and passengers safety on priority basis besides ethical training and mandatory dress code with identity card of the auto drivers in Agartala.Keywords

The study examines the motivating factors of the respondents for investment in chit funds, perception towards chit fund companies and strategies to properly manage chit funds of Tripura. It obtained primary data from 160 respondents from all the eight districts of the state using quota and convenient sampling technique through questionnaire and personal interviews. Different statistical tests like Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's Chi-square test, factor analysis like Principal Component Analysis were performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The reliability of the questionnaire and sample adequacy test was also carried out.The results of data analysis reveal that exorbitant rate of interest offered by chit fund companies, lack of industrialisation, financial illiteracy and rigid banking formalities are the key motivating factors for investment. The study indicates that excessive greed, absent of Government's small investment schemes, multiregulations, political patronage, weak Chit Fund Act are the causes behind scams and frauds. The study further emphasizes on provision of CAG audit,proper coordination among regulators, inclusion of Government's nominees in the Board of Management of chit funds, exercising control in the scope of operations as well as investors' education.Keywords

Objectives: The present study seeks to examine the perception of the graduate students and pensioners of some selected localities of Kolkata about the importance of ATMs as a branch surrogate, impact of the ceiling on withdrawals from ATMs, and the strategies to win over the capping for the customers as well as for the banks to retain them.
Participants and Data collection: It obtained primary data from 200 respondents consisting of 140 graduate students and 60 pensioners using different non-probability sampling techniques through schedule and personal interviews.
Research Methods: Different statistical tests like factor analysis, Mann Whitney U test, students't-test, regression analysis, and descriptive statistics were performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The reliability of the questions and sample adequacy test was also carried out. Through factor analysis, five major factors viz. perceptions about ATM- an avatar for banks, customers' satisfaction in ATM services, customers' repercussion on capping, financial planning for withdrawals, and strategies for customers to avoid charges and for banks to retain them were extracted.
Results: The results of the study suggest that youth prefer to use ATMs which has become indispensable and provide diversified financial services that leads tocustomers' satisfaction; but withdrawing now requires some planning as customers need to visit branches to avoid fees. To retain the customers the banks should encourage the use of more electronic cards and net banking; should not charge for withdrawing own funds, allow them to access even the non-home branch ATMs close to the their locality, should reduce the minimum average floor balance to enjoy free unlimited access of home bank ATMs and keep currency of higher denomination to reduce the number of transactions.

The study has taken twin objectives- to find the determinants of service providers and to report the problems the respondents are exposed to in accessing the prepaid mobile services in Agartala. Based on a pre-tested interview-schedule, a sample size of 183 respondents, the empirical results have indicated that the principal influencing factors in choosing a service provider include customer care&facility, network coverage, tariff plan&recharge facilities. A significant relationship has been established between the gender of the respondents and their choice of service provider. The decision for subscription is further significantly influenced by their experiences of unsatisfactory services. Policy implications are derived from the study and it acknowledges few limitations.Keywords

The objectives of the study are to assess the different motivating factors for marigold cultivation and to report the problems the respondents are exposed to. A schedule comprising 50 questions with personal interview is used to collect data from a sample size of 130 respondents chosen using different non-probability sampling techniques. Different statistical tests like Factor analysis, Maan-Whitney U test, and Chi-square test have been performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The findings document that to improve the financial status, to become self-employed, good profit margin, and availability of inputs are the prime motivating factors for cultivation. Further, paucity of capital, frequent change in weather, insufficient government support, and shortage of skilled labourers are the constraints for cultivation. The sample size is considerably low as well as sample has been selected using different non-probability sampling techniques which themselves are not flawless. The results obtained from the study have practical implications not only for existing entrepreneurs, but also for potential entrepreneurs about the motivational forces and the problems they could encounter if they commence the cultivation, and accordingly can formulate their strategies for sustainability.Keywords

The study examines the perception of the respondents while doing business in Tripura. It obtained primary data from 200 respondents consisting of 180 men and 20 women from the selected twenty areas of Tripura using quota and convenient sampling technique through schedule and personal interviews. Different statistical tests like Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's Chi-square test, factor analysis like Principal Component Analysis, were performed to assess support for the hypotheses. The reliability of the questions and sample adequacy test was also carried out. The results of the data analysis reveal that most of the respondents believe that in Tripura to commence business, to procure funds, to take necessary permissions, to operate, and to liquidate a business is a delayed process. The findings indicate that paying bribes, lobbying and unethical practice is common in business world. The participants in the study perceive that different rules and regulations should be rationalised, e-governance and infrastructure should be improved and besides the local administration need to protect the assets of the entrepreneurs.Keywords

The study has reviewed the prior literature on tax reforms and GST to synthesize the research findings and to direct the future research avenues. Literature on tax reforms has attained momentum in developing countries for the last two decades and in India when it had decided to implement GST from 2017-18. Adopting the Systematic Literature Review technique by accessing the academic e-journals of selective publishers and applying a filtering process, the study has reviewed 119 sample papers published during 2002-2016 by focusing on objectives and results of those cited papers. Results have documented the tax reforms that have been executed globally with multiple objectives; it has admitted with few limitations, practice implications have pointed out and sketched the roadmap for posterior studies especially in the transition period in India when it would shortly move to GST regime.Keywords

The Goods and Services Tax (GST), a big and much awaited bet, likely to alter the Indian economy’s landscape significantly. It has been estimated that the combined GST collection would exceed the individual collections of erstwhile excise and service tax collections which would contribute around 6 percent in GDP. The study has attempted to assess the selective stakeholders’ GST perceptions during the transition period of its rollover. It has framed two hypotheses and a conceptual model for executing the study. By adopting the cross-sectional research design and applying the survey strategy, it has gathered data from 170 sample respondents. Convenience sampling technique has been used for collecting the primary data. Reliability and validity of the tool has also been tested. Significant statistical results have indicated that the taxpayers’ attitudes and costs of compliance have probably effected the GST compliance which, in turn would curb inflations and evading the tax evasions. Limitations, practical implications and future research directions have been highlighted.Keywords

Pressure has been mounting on central government for announcement of farm loan waivers before the Lok Sabha election due in first half of 2019 inasmuch; three state governments of Hindi heartland viz. Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh in December, 2018 have announced the same for executing their pre-poll commitments. The interest rate subventions and excessive subsidized fertilizers have not so far been yielded the desired outcomes hence for viable and sustainable farming government should come out with alternative ways for supporting them rather simply banking upon blanket waivers without analyzing the associated pros and cons and impact analysis. The repetitions of such waivers in long run would likely to demotivate the taxpayers and the cases of tax evasions probably to increase in leaps and bounds, inasmuch even after seven decades of independence the Indian tax system has not been reached to such a level of full proof as well as fraud proof. The economists have categorically warned about the adverse consequences of such blanket waivers along with taxpayers reservations have been highlighted on such political gimmicks at the costs of economic growth and development; the alternative ways for addressing farmers’ plight have also been indicated.Keywords
