The study uses a qualitative approach to obtain the opinion of network members. The findings of the study suggest that dairy farmers (value network member) feel empowered as part of the co-producing group and this strengthen their trust in the service value network. Cooperation among the members of village dairy cooperatives aids them in information sharing in the field of milk production and provides exposure to new technology in milk production. Milk unions contribute to the service value network through co-marketing of milk. It can help various entrepreneurial groups to form Service Value Networks (SVNs) and help in promoting the well-being of society. The study proposes a link between the service value network and social transformation with social capital formation as a moderating variable.

Literature suggests that different generations at the workplace differ in their values, attitudes, behaviours and ways of working. Managers find it difficult to set equilibrium among the generations at the workplace and the reason is the lack of understanding of the Millennial behaviour and expectations they have from the workplace. This paper looks deeper into the various attributes and features that Millennials expect from the workplace. Focus group interviews were initially conducted to identify the attributes that Millennials expect from the workplace. A questionnaire was then formulated and circulated to collect the responses. The results have shown that the millennial generation finds it extremely important that the workplace where they are employed must provide them with opportunities for growth and development also comprise occasions to develop their leadership skills.

Hundreds of films are released every year, where each film is an investment of multi-crores. In terms of awards or marketing it has found a place in almost every country and culture. It also contributes and attracts skilled and passionate people to become entrepreneurs. Therefore, it becomes a need as well as a huge concern of the director, producer and all stakeholders involved in a particular film to know the chances of the success of a film on the box office before its release. To address this concern, a hybrid ensemble machine learning model has been proposed. The model uses data sets collected from various sources, such as Boxofficeindia, cinemalytics, YouTube, etc. The model performed pre-processing on data set, which included handling of missing values with mean, cleaning of data, and removal of text values. Feature engineering has been applied in the model to create a new feature called act_direct to make the model more robust. Further, the effectiveness of the model has been tested in terms of accuracy and the AUC-ROC curve. From the experimental results, it is evident that the proposed model ensures relatively better accuracy compared to some recent state-of-art models.

Educated youth in India depends upon public/private sector jobs availability. A study reveals that millions of Indians are joining the labour force every year due to fewer employment opportunities. This gap can be minimised by identifying major factors leading to more entrepreneurial ventures, which is the scope of this study. The Government of India has also taken initiatives like Make in India, Atal Innovation Mission, Digital India, Start-Up India, Stand-Up India, and National Skill Development Mission to support innovation and entrepreneurship in India. Today, entrepreneurial skills alone are not sufficient to run start-ups efficiently; some creativity needs to be added for added value. This study is an attempt to develop a framework for predicated entrepreneurial factors driving an individual for start-ups. In this study, various published articles were reviewed to identify critical factors and develop a casual framework. ISM Modelling and MICMAC analysis were used to establish a relationship between all critical factors and validate the framework respectively.

Entrepreneurs are considered as one of the pioneers in carrying out innovative initiatives in the field of sustainability. This study is an effort towards mapping the drivers for the adoption of sustainable practices by entrepreneurs. Significant variables which drive entrepreneurs to adopt sustainable business practices were identified through literature screening; structured questionnaire based primary data collection and expert opinion. Nine variables were identified through this three-step approach which were then modelled through interpretive structural modelling (ISM). The proposed ISM model indicates that 'public funding in promoting sustainable business' is the variable which can strategically influence the linkage variables and the dependent variable viz. 'attitude of entrepreneur'. The study, therefore, highlights that public funding, with support of moderating factors, can impact the attitude of entrepreneur towards the adoption of sustainable practices in business.

Growing number of bankruptcy cases and financial crises across the globe has raised concerns about the ability of individuals to take necessary financial decisions. Hence, it becomes important to study the financial wellbeing (FWB) of individuals as a part of their overall well-being. This study aims to examine the relationship between self-control (SC), financial behaviours (FinB) and FWB. 172 online-survey responses from National Capital Region (India) are analysed using PLS-SEM. The results suggest a positive significant impact of SC on both the endogenous constructs. We identify the top three significant predictors of positive financial behaviour and discuss the direct and indirect impact of SC and FinB on FWB. The results are particularly useful for policy makers and academicians working towards policy formulation and imparting knowledge to help individuals achieve positive FWB.

Resulting in the stakeholders' behaviour drastically tends towards the reduction of carbon emissions released by corporations. Carbon accounting is one of the methods that have been identified to combat the serious issue of environmental externalities. Although various methods exist for the measurement of carbon footprints, till now there is no consensus on its accurate measurement and harmonised reporting in financial statements to identify the noticeable behaviour of the corporates towards the environment. The present study explored the theoretical perspective on carbon accounting and it's reporting in financial statements by examining the carbon emissions sources, the procedure for measurement and disclosure as per the stewardship theory for a sustainable future. The findings have practical implications for corporations, accounting standard setters and policymakers for setting the effective structure of carbon measurement and reporting standards and accountability of corporates regarding noticeable behaviour.

Founding gender equality, promoting women's empowerment is an integral constituent of the Sustainable Development Goals. The neo-liberal development processes leading to greater urbanisation offer a significant opportunity for women to enter paid employment. But, societal gender norms play a vital role in these decisions, often creating segregation of workspaces terming them 'suitable' for women/men or 'unsuitable' for them. City petrol pumps are one such gendered workspace, which is highly masculine in its work practices, customer base, and approach. This study based on the women petrol pump operators in Delhi elaborates on how women 'negotiate' their workspace, how gender relations are built, sustained, and altered, strategies adopted, and impediments faced by women to regulate themselves in this occupation.

Despite the much-publicised promise of enhanced productivity, flexibility, efficiency and improved quality, Industry 4.0 is a daunting prospect for less-developed nations without the human labour to cope with and embrace the anticipated technological advancement. The paper explores the various opportunities and challenges associated with entrepreneurship in the Fourth Industrial Revolution in developing countries to ascertain their readiness. An in-depth, systematic literature review was conducted. In doing that, we were mindful of the coverage, and data collection was carried out through a rigorous process to ensure the accuracy of findings while keeping the study's objective. This paper argues for entrepreneurs to rethink and initiate the development of strategies that would make them relevant in the future, through innovation of business models, in preparation for possible disruptions with the evolution of Industry 4.0, while also advocating that more should be done to address the causes of policy and institutional failures.

The moderation effect on openness to experience was checked on the relationship between environmental knowledge and awareness and green purchase behaviour. The study also tries to predict the mediation effect of need for affiliation on the relationship between openness to experience and green purchase behaviour. The findings suggest that environmental knowledge and awareness and openness to experience positively affect green purchase behaviour. It was also shown by the results that need for affiliation does not mediate the relationship between openness to experience and green purchase behaviour. The study adds to the existing literature by positing the moderation effect of openness to experience on the relationship between environmental knowledge and awareness and green purchase behaviour.

The research employs an exploratory design. Multiple case study method is used. Data were collected from 6 registered regional NGOs, by conducting one to one semi-structured interviews. Data were analysed using NVivo 12 pro software. The findings of the study provide strong evidence of salary, followed by employment insecurity, workload and employee turnover as major challenges confronted by registered NGOs. The novelty of the study stems from three new insights: (i) unethical practice of taking back some part of salary by the employer from employees; (ii) the intensity of job insecurity and salary issues were less in one of the NGOs that used the concept of social enterprise for supporting their mission; (iii) a new trend is emerging, wherein employees of NGOs are seeking job opportunities (as salary does not commensurate with their efforts) in vacant positions in the societies, which are associate organisations of their funding agency/corporate donors' trust.

This is a documentary review in which the rural entrepreneurship process is conceived as an interaction of four elements: the process, the entrepreneur, the context and the community benefits. An important amount of evidence has been generated on the relationship between these components, however, a series of pending tasks are identified, including the need to specify the factors that favour the process in each of its stages, in terms of the characteristics of the entrepreneur and the context.

Scholars from different schools have provided various types of solutions. However, the central problem with these different approaches is that the patient is either absent or considered a passive user of the system. Thus, there is a need for a different approach that sees the patient as an active contributor to solving wicked problems. The paper argues that the governance network approach, although in its infancy, provides the contours of a new approach that should replace previous approaches.

Through the research process, this study found that sustainable tourism development had many positive benefits for a variety of stakeholders, including community, local government, cultural and natural environment and the tourists. Although the principles of sustainable tourism development are beneficial, their implementation is an enormously difficult task due to the prevailing socio-economic context, political conditions and institutional settings in the developing world. This article assesses the current status of sustainable tourism development in coastal provinces of Vietnam, reflecting gap between the policy planning and its implementation towards that end. On that basis and based on so far achieved successes and limitations, we propose preliminary solutions for ecotourism and cultural tourism development as ways of reaching sustainability.

Thus, this study aims to explore how an organisation can operationalise the SDGs in their strategic management, leading to the creation of a sustainable value chain based on a framework developed by the authors. Using a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews, observations and secondary data sources, a framework is proposed based on the experience of a Brazilian power company. The proposed model (SDG SVCMM) has four dimensions: (1) design of the organisational value chain; (2) mapping of SDGs in the value chain; (3) selection of SDG priorities and (4) impact monitoring. The present study makes a theoretical contribution with a model that aims to link a sustainable value chain with SDGs. Also, the present research can guide managers in their attempt to generate innovative and sustainable solutions to develop sustainable value chains.

This paper proposes a lens for indigenous entrepreneurship, labelled as Swadeshi-Global Entrepreneurship aiming at sustainable socioeconomic growth. The findings lead to the development of a new model 'Product categorisation in the Transnational Economy' and an equation explaining the conceptual definition of domestic product in globalised world along with the relative importance of each type of product on the domestic economy of a nation. The framework suggested in the paper if executed rationally ensures to bring social and economic sustainable development of the country involved. Although the paper focuses on indigenous entrepreneurship, its findings are relevant for other types of entrepreneurship too given the emergency situation in which many economies currently are due to COVID-19. Countries are pushed to re-invent the power of domestic production.

They are also a source of wealth and employment creation in the poorest areas. This paper analyses the development phases of small timber businesses based on their competitive advantages and performance in a region of Argentina. Our methodology defines the phases, and combines the resource-based view with the Uppsala model of knowledge increase. Our results show that these businesses develop in four phases, with different factors of competitiveness and performance. This paper contributes to the theory of small business development, improving companies' knowledge of the situation in each development phase and allowing them to establish competitive strategies that are associated with their current phase and political improvement actions.

We found that both bank-specific and macro-economic determinants jointly influence NPLs in varying degrees. There is also empirical evidence that NPL adjusts more non-linearly/asymmetrically to the dynamics of the bank-specific and macro-economic determinants than it does linearly. This discovery will guide in rebalancing the policy direction in loan and credit administration from just a linear direction to a combination of linear and nonlinear perspectives especially in the WAMZ.

The participants were people with disabilities under State Welfare Organisation of Iran. The sample consisted of 376 people by stratified sampling. Using the confirmatory factor analysis, dimensions and indices of each factor were confirmed. The FAHP has been used to determine the priority of elements. According to the findings of the SEM, five main factors, along with 24 sub-criteria, were approved as the effective factors in creating employment for the disabled. Standardised coefficients between variables of financial, personal, governmental, family, and job seeking factors were .46, .86, .55, .70 and .36, respectively, The result from FAHP shows that the financial index with the weight 0.259 has the highest rating and the job seeking index with 0.130 has the lowest rating. Although financial, individual, government, family, and job-seeking factors have a positive and significant effect on the tendency of the disabled for business, the belief factor indicates that there is no significant effect on the tendency of the disabled to business.

Further, it purports to examine the interaction effect MBEP*LF in the relationship between MBEP and perceived procrastination. Data were gathered using standardised questionnaires. The sample comprises of 268 middle-level textile managers, working in 14 Mega Industrial Textile Projects in Punjab (India). The results exhibit a significant positive effect of MBEP and LF style of leadership on perceived procrastination. However, MBEP*LF (interaction) does not moderate and predict perceived procrastination. The study has investigated theoretically driven hypotheses. The findings of the study have implications for the employers to make the appropriate decisions in the selection process so it reduces the chance of procrastination among leaders. As, per best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the association of styles of leadership (MBEP and LF) with perceived procrastination in leaders. MBEP and LF have a predictive relevance for perceived procrastination in a leader. Further, MBEP*LF was not significant in the present study. These findings are important and require researchers to consider leadership styles in subsequent researches on procrastination behaviour.

However, this fragmented approach does not capture some factors and leaves other connections unexplained. Therefore, the fundamental motivation of this study was to review the literature and sketch a new link between motivational and supporting factors, and entrepreneurial initiatives to better understand entrepreneurship and employment generation synthesis. We combined and integrated all of these factors in one common context based on a historical literature survey, using a novel approach by categorising the stated factors under micro-, meso- and macro-level entrepreneurships. This new perspective on the inter-relationships between motivational and supporting factors in creating new job opportunities at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels will unlock a new line of research which has the potential to significantly contribute to the literature.

A bottom-up process via structured interviews with German wine producers delivered the spectrum of relevant sustainability indicators. Responding to the need for measuring, benchmarking, and transparency, the study subsequently created a visualisation tool measuring across 17 sustainability criteria. The framework enables wineries to strategically assess their business models in regards to sustainability. Tool application fosters transparency and nurtures innovation to increase sustainability. This research broadens the perspective of strategic sustainability and business model transformation of entrepreneurial SMEs.

Nevertheless, nearly 20% of the population remains vulnerable to falling into poverty. This study employs the Equally Distributed Equivalent (EDE) model finding that chronic poverty accounted for 69% while transient poverty accounted for the 30% in 2010. Access to credit, education level, and poor access to health services, influences the likelihood of chronic and transient poverty. Women face higher probabilities of remaining poor (chronic) or of falling into poverty (transitory) than men, due to a lack of access to health services and education. Women in urban areas are more likely to fall into transient poverty than men. Health and education services in rural areas are more urgently needed than in cities, as poverty is more highly associated with rural areas than in urban environments. Having larger families could increase the likelihood of chronic and transient poverty.

This cross-sectional study includes the responses from 282 employees, responsible for customer service. During the study, confirmatory factor analysis was done to ensure the reliability and validity of five constructs, namely customer verbal abuse, supervisory verbal abuse, emotional exhaustion, engagement, and intention to leave. Then after related hypotheses were tested using structural equation modelling. The study concludes that both verbal cases of abuse lead to emotional exhaustion, which further reduces engagement level. The poor engagement causes high intention to leave among the employees. It was also found that customer verbal abuse is more responsible for poor engagement, whereas the supervisory verbal abuse is for intention to leave. The limitations of cross-sectional data and common method bias provided directions for future research.

These constructs taken together have the ability to makes an impact in the organisational commitment leading to enhanced performance of the employees which in turn leads to organisational success. The present paper attempts to compile the literatures related to employee happiness, engagement and commitment. It also aims to identify relevant factors affecting these constructs, and tries to establish a linkage among them. All the works of literature are organised and categorised into three different groups namely employee happiness, engagement and organisational commitment and have been portrayed in a tabular format. A theoretical model based on these literatures has been developed to consolidate the linkage between employee happiness, engagement and organisational commitment. The model depicts that there is an important relationship between happiness, engagement and commitment. Finally, it can be concluded that employee happiness and engagement can predict organisational commitment in employees.
