Organizations that thrive in the highly competitive knowledge economy will need to employ the most creative people. A good idea could easily generate billions in profits for a company; being slow to adapt to changing conditions can destroy a firm. Innovative, engaged people are invaluable to an organization but have options and can easily find another job if dissatisfied. This paper describes what upper management must do to create a culture in which creative people are engaged, satisfied, and thrive.
As the desire for more consumer electronics continuously grows, the demand for rare earth materials used to make such products increases. The linear method by which a majority of the world currently manufactures is not a long-term sustainable solution and these current product cycles will have to be replaced, with more circular business models, in order to adjust to these consumer demands. The aim of this research is to investigate sustainability issues in the whole life cycle of mobile phones. The objectives of this research comprised identifying key sustainable design factors, applying a theoretical framework based on the Circular Economy (CE) to the development, use and disposal of mobile phone products. This work has a wider implication for other such type of electronic products and sub-assemblies and the materials that they are made from.
The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is an important indicator of economic trends and investors, therefore assume that it has a bearing on the index. This study seeks to address the question as to whether changes in the Index of Industrial Production has a bearing on the movement of the index. The CNX Nifty has been taken as the market index for the purposes of this study. The study covers data for the period between 1990 and 2015.The augmented dickey fuller test has been used to test for stationarity and the data has been found to be stationary after first differencing. Causality and direction of causality is studied using the Granger Causality test. The findings were surprising as the causality was seen to be from CNX Nifty to IIP, which is contrary to what many investors assume. The key finding is that the markets are informationally efficient and investors have access to data well before they are published.
The financial sector reforms have been remarkable in progress and their performance has become a major concern for planners' and policymakers in India. The development of an economy depends on how efficiently the financial sector performs and links up with the function of financial intermediation. In India, the financial market and banks have to play a predominant role and they are taking a number of initiatives in order to expand financial services towards weaker sections of the society. Financial inclusion is the delivery of formal banking services to the vast sections of lower income groups at an affordable cost. As stated by Mr. Arun Jaitley (2014), at present, more than 40 per cent of Indian households do not have access to banking services. In developed countries, financial inclusion is a burning issue. In USA, 9 per cent of the population do not have any bank account (Mohan, 2006) whereas, in Sweden and Germany, this is about 2 per cent and 3 per cent of adults who do not have an account. Countries with high level of inequity record higher levels of banking exclusion. The Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi launched the 'Financial Inclusion Mission' on Independence Day. The main objective is to ensure that every household in India has access to banking services such as savings accounts, credit, remittances, insurance and pension.
