This paper, essentially a case study, begins by delving into the historical background concerning the entrepreneur and founders’ mindset of a cultural enterprise like the Mahua Art Gallery; particularly how it came into existence. It then briefs on the art industry and also examines organizational aspects and related issues in a cultural enterprise of this genre. It touches upon significant aspects of Mahua’s journey from nascence to the current state it is in. Discussions on how management initiatives have driven its recent adoption of technology are also present. Finally the paper concludes with a look into information technology and online social networks. Social media which this organization has embraced and potential benefits that accrue from its adoption are also discussed. This case is based on interviews conducted with the founders of Mahua Art Gallery and hence possesses an authentic stamp.Keywords

Creative cultural industries are those that produce tangible or intangible artistic and creative outputs, and which have a potential for wealth creation and income generation. All cultural industries use creativity, cultural knowledge, and intellectual property to produce products and services with social and cultural meaning. Industries that make use of cultural assets and skilled creative people can significantly benefit from the use of online social networks.
Creative industries are typically characterized by a high level of product differentiation. For example, no artwork is like any other. Some of the products are reproducible, while others are not. The high degree of product differentiation is linked to symbolic content and also to the fact that cultural products contain some aspect of novelty that implies product innovation.

This is an interview to unearth the efforts of an innovator in developing a new course in a Post Graduate management programme. The thought process in developing a new course is in establishing connectivity between logic and evidence by searching for a pattern through the Input- Throughput-Output-Outcome paradigm. The science of decision making is strong in logic and hence there is expectation of a perfect outcome. In many cases reality does not work that way. The ability to link the unconnected may emerge as an outcome of the new course. Decision-making, in the real world of uncertainty consisting of multifarious dimensions, is an art by itself. The course may provide cues as to how to make decisions despite many hidden variables present in life of which management is a part.Full Text

Some of the features that affect organizational performance have been attempted. These features are more relevant in organizations that are oriented towards innovation. In particular, benefits that accrue from the usage of Online Social Networks (OSN) are looked at in an organizational setting. The different orders of creativity and relationship between weak links and creativity in an organizational context have been elucidated. The complex relationship between OSN usage and an individual’s capability to handle autonomy is examined in detail. A formal analysis of this relationship has been presented.Keywords

This article is a discussion on matters connected with life. We touch upon issues related to personality development and education. In today’s world, many a time we really do not know why we are doing certain things. Hence there is a pressing need to understand elusive notions such as success and happiness, and place them in perspective. We earnestly make an attempt to understand and pragmatically interpret such notions for a common layperson. Finally we touch upon education.We try to look at education from a wider angle in an unconstrained manner. This in turn leads to the surfacing of pitfalls present in our current education system. These problems are unfortunately connected to non-trivial problems present in other spheres of our society. Hence there may not be exclusive ready made solutions for problems present in our education system. Only a holistic approach may take us toward possible solutions. We indicate some general directions that may be worth looking at. However, these are only directions and need to be explored further before being concertized.
The views expressed in this article are based on the author’s experiences, and are not necessarily unique. They have been elaborated in a lucid manner for easy assimilation.

Association Rule mining literature is witnessing a shift of focus from generating positive rules to the discovery of negative rules. A review of previous literature on negative rule mining that incorporate objective and subjective interestingness measures has been done. Then, an extension, to Fuzzy Set Concept for generating and mining negative rules is made. This work also presents unaddressed issues in mining of both positive and negative rules. Business applications that gain useful insights from both positive and negative rules have been highlighted.Keywords
