Abstract

Employee engagement is referred as the degree to which employees have a compelling desire to do their job, should be dedicated to the organization, and should put sincere effort into their work. The success of any organization depends on workforce productivity, which is indirectly related to the employee's commitment towards their organization. Engaging employees may seem to be easy, but it is not a simple task. In an organisation, there will be employees from different age groups who also have different wishes and expectations. Thus, “one size fits all'' does not work as far as the expectations of an organization are concerned. This paper analyses the challenges involved in keeping employees engaged for the successful growth of an organisation. The author also makes an effort to understand the drivers of employee engagement with the help of a literature review.

Abstract

This research paper makes an attempt to critically analyse the decision of Patanjali Ayurved to venture into the world of FMCG e-retailing. There is no doubt about the enormous amount of unsaturated market waiting to be exploited, but it should also be kept in mind that there are equal huge threats and barriers while operating in the realm of e-commerce. A very good example which exists in front of Patanjali Ayurved is Amul India Private Limited. For any business, a single mistake can lead to a complete downfall. Hence, SWOT analysis is the most important stage that every business or project must undertake. Though running a business is all about taking risks, an informed and calculative risk can make all the difference. Online grocery shopping has come a long way. The stupendous growth of the internet over the past decade has led to a steep rise in e-grocery shopping. Nowadays, grocery shopping has undergone a total makeover, also a revolutionary change which has occurred for good and is going to stay. Just a decade back, one would never have guessed that they could do the mundane task of grocery shopping from the comfort of their home without even stepping out. But, all thanks to the advent of the internet, which led to the growing popularity of e-commerce and ultimately, a stage has reached where grocery shopping is all about having fun. It was found that Patanjali Ayurved has many strong opportunities available which are the main reasons for its growth in such a short span of time. It can scale to even higher heights only if it takes some corrective measures on time and gets rid of its weaknesses.

Abstract

Controversial and thought provoking themes are emerging within global business and service industries. Increasing efforts are required to apply global perspectives as part of the topics and objectives in diverse business curriculums. This article provides insights and observations on globalization that are related to the healthcare industries, global leadership and ethical decision making, globalization and business schools and developing global competency for a global work environment. However, a common theme, despite these diverse perspectives, supports increasing efforts to prepare graduates, from diverse areas in schools of business, for the development of global competency. Business programmes would benefit by adding global knowledge, talents, and skills to a variety of courses, ensuring that future graduates would be able to compete in a global market with a variety of global viewpoints and ethical standards.
