The Role of transformational leadership in enhancing firm's innovativeness has become important to secure a sustainable competitive edge. This study attempts to explore this relationship by introducing organizational learning as a mediator. The data were collected from 321 participants belonging to public/government organizations in India through survey research using structured interview schedule. The findings confirm organizational learning to be an important factor that cannot be ignored if a firm wishes to enhance its innovative capability. Transformational leadership style promotes employees to accumulate tacit knowledge and use it productively, which is only possible when a firm develops the capacity to learn. This accumulated knowledge can further be utilized to enhance ability to anticipate the future and respond to customers' demands through products based on their innovation capability. The implications of the results for academics and practitioners are discussed.Keywords

Nanosuspensions (Muller et al., 1995) have emerged as a promising strategy for the efficient delivery of hydrophobic drugs because of their versatile features and unique advantages. The present article describes the details about nanosuspensions. Nanosuspensions consist of the pure poorly water-soluble drug without any matrix material suspended in dispersion. The review article includes the methods of preparation with their merits and demerits, characterization and evaluation parameters. A nanosuspension not only solves the problems of poor solubility and bioavailability, but also alters the pharmacokinetics of drug and thus improves drug safety and efficacy.Keywords
