Venkatraja 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 A Study of SHG as a Model of Social Entrepreneurship in Mayurbhanj District, Odisha https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222242 <span>“Social entrepreneurship” refers to the process of combining resources and opportunity to address social problems. In order to combat poverty, marginalization, environmental degradation and the accompanying loss of personal integrity, social entrepreneurs focus on altering the institutions and behaviors that support these issues. They do this by creating business that is either for-profit or non-profit, but in both cases, their principal objective is to achieve long-lasting systemic change. Self Help Group (SHG) is an example of a strategy that tries to promote social entrepreneurship in rural area. SHGs encourage its members and assist social entrepreneurs in overcoming obstacles. SHG plays a crucial role in helping impoverished women to achieve a stable lifestyle. It is steadily proving to be among the most effective ways to fight poverty in rural India. Thus, there is no question that SHGs provide a forum for the promotion of social entrepreneurs. SHGs thus undoubtedly serve as a platform for the promotion of social entrepreneurs. In this light, the researcher has made an effort to investigate the elements that motivate women to join SHGs as a kind of social entrepreneurship in Myurbhanj district of Odisha. Discriminant analysis has been used to find out the influencing factors affecting women to get associated with SHG as means of social entrepreneurship. The study identified “Employment generation”, “Gender Inequality” and “Social value creation” as the factors influencing women to be associated with SHG.</span> Sitaram Das Shibashish Sahu 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Entrepreneurship and Digital Economy – A Bibliometric Analysis https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222250 <span>The advent of the digital economy has led to the emergence of entrepreneurship which is significantly different from the existing entrepreneurial ecosystem. This study focuses on bibliometric analysis of research on the interrelationship between entrepreneurship and the digital economy. The goal is to assess the trends in global research on the relationship between entrepreneurship and the digital economy as well as the output of publication, co-authorships, co-occurrences of keywords and citations in these topics. Using the Web of Science database, a bibliometric analysis of articles under the topic “entrepreneurship” and “digital economy” has been done. A total of 293 documents were retrieved from the database and after refining them for language and type of documents, 220 documents were selected for analysis. Nodes and linkages between authors, citations, keywords and co-citations were created using VOSviewer software. The growth in literature has significantly increased since 2018, with the USA leading the research on the topic. The keyword analysis showed that the focal point of entrepreneurship research is shifting from innovation and ICT to digital entrepreneurship and new business models of sharing economy and gig economy. While providing insights into the research in the digital economy and entrepreneurship, this study also outlines the path to future research.</span> Aparna Samudra 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Determinants of Financial Performance – A Comparative Analysis of Public Sector Non-Life Insurers in India https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222251 <span>A well-developed and functioning insurance sector is a pre-requisite for an inclusive economy and growth of any country. The insurance sector has been growing steadily and gradually in India. Insurance is an essential financial service because it provides financial security to individuals and business persons. The efficiency of the insurance companies is measured by the techniques such as financial performance, technical, purely technical and scale efficiencies. This research work aims at analyzing the financial performance of public sector nonlife Indian insurance companies and the determinants of such performance. Commission, claims incurred, investment income, the net premium earned, management soundness and operating expenses are considered determinants of the financial performance of non-life insurance companies. Data are collected from the financial year 2009-10 to the financial year 2021-22 to determine financial performance. Data were checked for their normality and stationarity using EViews statistical software. Research results convey that New India Insurance Company Limited performs better in financial performance followed by United India Insurance Company Limited. Common determinants of net profit after tax of public sector non-life insurance companies are claims incurred and net premium earned.</span> P. Muthulakshmi A.

The study considered all the banks in the Indian banking sector that have announced the dividend from January 2015 to December 2021 and conducted the analysis using event study methodology with Multi-Index Model (MIM). The study found that during the pre-crisis period, the stock of the PSU banks were more sensitive towards the announcements when dividends were decreased compared to the announcements when it was increased. While, stock of private banks was significantly impacted by both positive and negative dividend announcements, however, the impact of negative dividend announcements was severe and more prolonged than that of positive dividend announcements. Further, during the COVID 19 Pandemic, it is witnessed that information relating to dividend announcement has positively affected the behaviour of the banking sector stock.</span> Mahesh Dahal Joy Das 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Perception of HR Professionals on their Leader’s Workstyle: A Study from the IT Sector of India https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222253 <span>This study examines the perception of HR professionals on their leader’s workstyle with a special reference to IT sector employees in India. We used a survey instrument holding both affirmative and non-affirmative variables on a leader’s workstyle and collected data from 601 employees working in the field of information technology. We analysed quantitative data using analysis and found that there is a positive affirmation among the leaders by being a role model or charismatic. The study also highlighted the areas that require the attention of leaders to improve their workstyle functioning by considering the non-affirmative variables as essentially the role of a leader is to bring value to their followers.</span> Israel Inbaraj.F Wilfred 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Prediction of IPO Subscription – A Logistic Regression Model https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222254 <span>The main objective of this research paper is to apply logistic regression to estimate IPO subscription status in terms of oversubscription or under subscription. For this purpose, we used SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique) to generate minority class cases to rectify class imbalance problems and classification model logistic regression function to further classify the cases into majority class and minority class. KNIME (Konstanz Information Miner) and R Studio were used, as Integrated Development Environments (IDE), to develop the model. The results were quite encouraging with more than 90% accuracy levels for both training and testing datasets. The model was tested with different train-to-test ratios. The model and the results of the study can be used by firms and individuals involved in capital markets to predict the subscription status of a public offering. Further, there is ample scope to improvise the model by using different sets of variables and by applying different machine learning algorithms.</span> Ellur Anand Ganes Pandya 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Role of Women in Commercial Driving – A Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) Approach https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222255 <span>Women who work in fields where men predominately do so face particular difficulties and employ particular coping skills that have an impact on their motivation and retention in these fields. This study investigates women’s experiences working in male-dominated sectors to comprehend the challenges they encounter and uncover coping mechanisms that allow them to continue their career paths. A lot of women who first favour jobs with a male preponderance quickly transition to female- or gender-balanced career pathways. Plans to motivate women in sectors with a male preponderance can be made easier by understanding their experiences. This exploratory qualitative study was carried out by the researchers utilizing a constructivist grounded theory methodology. They interviewed 60 well-chosen professional drivers in-depth and unstructured. To examine the data, they employ a constructivist grounded theory methodology. The authors contend that discrimination and sexism are mostly caused by unfair practices that women must deal with. These behaviours include disregarding the special physical traits of women and the necessity of work-life balance. Female resilience includes using femininity, accepting masculinity, mentoring, and intrinsic motivators. This study adds to the corpus of information on better retaining and integrating women in environments where men predominate.</span> R.C Banumathi D.

To achieve environmental sustainability and utility development, food supply chain procedures must be digitalized. As a result, the study examined sustainable issues that need to be addressed and identified the role of technology in the food supply chain network to reduce food waste. The study is addressing the role of technology in the food supply chain network from the production to the consumption phase. This study is identifying the inclination of teenagers towards environmental sustainability which will give a roadmap for online food applications in India as India is a youth-oriented country with 1.2 billion in number. The study is based on quantitative analysis of the data collected from teenagers (13-19 years) through questionnaires and analysis with the software SPSS 22 and Minitab. The study is having correlation design to investigate the relationship between technology and environmental sustainability in the supply chain network of online food service providers to reduce food waste.</span> Purvi Mathur Vidhu K.

Such company has a positive relationship with the financial performance and the investors cannot outperform these stocks as the information about sustainability compliance is readily available in the market. This concept is of the Efficient Market Hypothesis. Employing a quantitative research design, this study considered 17 companies of BSE Green Index that has considerable ESG scores and extracted their daily, weekly and monthly data to examine and understand its stock return movement and to test whether it follows the Efficient Market Hypothesis. This study makes use of the various statistical tools such as the Run Test, Auto-correlation Function and the Unit Root Test. Summarising the results of run test, Auto-correlation Function and two-unit root test i.e., Augmented Dickey Fuller test and Philips-Perron, it statistically confirmed the findings that the daily, weekly and monthly stock return series of the 17 stocks of BSE Green Index do not obey the ‘Random Walk Hypothesis’ which is the key findings of the study and hence rejects all the three hypotheses of the study. Backing the empirical findings of this study, it would be rational to state that the concept of the Efficient Market Hypothesis does not hold good in the BSE Green Index of the Indian Stock Market and this finding would be very imperative to the investors concerned about their investment decisions with regard to sustainability practices.</span> Prasid Gurung Soumitra Sarkar 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Well-being and Subjective Happiness of B-school Faculty during Covid-19 - A Special Reference to Indian B-Schools https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222258 <span>The traditional education industry has undergone rapid changes to keep learning alive and unaffected during the pandemic. There was a lot of uncertainty and fear among the teachers as they had to change the pedagogy to suit the current requirements. Many studies in the past revealed that the performance of teachers is dependent on their well-being. This is an empirical study wherein primary details were collected from B-school faculty working in various B-schools in India. To analyze the effect of well-being on subjective happiness two instruments were used. Employee well-being was measured using a scale consisting of 33 items and four core dimensions such as psychological, social, workplace, and subjective well-being items. A self-evaluation scale on The Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS) was used to measure the subjective happiness of B-school faculty. The questionnaire was administered to B-school faculty. The analysis revealed that psychological, social, and subjective well-being had an effect on the happiness of B-school faculty, but workplace well-being did not have any effect on subjective happiness as most of the B-school faculty were trying to sustain the pandemic and get adjusted to the rapid changes. They did not have many expectations from their employer as they were amidst fear and uncertainty.</span> Rekha Aranha Avil Saldanha Arti Arunkumar 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14 Free Market: The History of an Idea https://www.i-scholar.in/index.php/sdm/article/view/222259 <span>No Abstract.</span> Ishfaq Ahmad Thaku 2023-03-30 2023-03-30 14
