A multilevel model for the successful turnaround of declining manufacturing organisations – an investigative study

Indian manufacturing organisations are under constant scrutiny. The entry of global supply chain and manufacturing players made it difficult for Indian manufacturers to establish themselves in the competitive market. This led to the continual decline of firms that were unable to cope with the competition. The decrease in a firm's performance further demoralises owners and stakeholders, thereby forcing them to sell the firm to global players. This study presents a two levelled model that divides the entire working of a manufacturing firm into six impact areas where firms must focus on improving their performance. The model consists of various reasons for an organisation's decline and presents suitable strategies to overcome these reasons. A survey was conducted based on the developments from the model from five manufacturing clusters to compare their stand against leading performers and to suggest areas of improvement with the help of the analytical hierarchy process and the Pugh matrix methodology. The comparison involved a biological method that birds use to differentiate their eggs from a cuckoo's egg. This method can be used for performance measurement and suggestions for performance improvement of any manufacturing firm among the identified clusters.

A Study on Personal Financial Planning in UK and India with the Help of Case Studies

Financial planning is becoming one of the most important parts of life in the world. In this study, we discuss about personal financial planning, financial literacy, and software applications. We have done this by examining two scenarios: India and the UK. For this study, we took cases of personal financial planning done in the UK and India to gain clarity. We had joined an organization to understand this topic and prepare this research paper. We tried to find out how financial planning is done in the UK and what type of software is used by UK people to invest and plan their future. Similarly, we have studied which type of software and method was used to invest and plan future by Indian people; we also found out how Indian and UK organizations provided financial services and which method they used, as well as how the different government rules and regulation effected personal financial planning in both countries. We have done this topic based on case study by using real-time case. We also try to study the differences between Indian people and UK people toward future planning and investment.

Value chain and core competency based approach to outsourcing decision: a case of the Indian coal mining organisation

The study focuses on developing an outsourcing decision framework to assist the coal mining organisation to decide on outsourcing of operational activities.

Study of Movement of Pollutants in Soils around the Onsite Sanitation Systems - A Case Study of Periurban area in Karnataka, India

Sitting onsite sanitation systems near ground water sources without following any Indian national building organization, guideline is common in the peri urban areas in India. Due to close location of them the contaminants infiltrates from onsite sanitation systems and causes contamination of groundwater sources. Contamination of groundwater sources by pathogenic bacteria and nitrate are two major public health risks due to onsite sanitation systems. Sufficient depths of unsaturated soil and adequate horizontal separation distances between an onsite system and water sources are required to protect public health from aquifer contamination. In the present study the assessment of movement of pollutants in sandy soils around the onsite sanitation systems has been carried out to study the impact of septic tank on nearby borewell groundwater. Soil samples were collected around the septic tank in five directions. In each direction, soil samples were collected at 1 m interval longitudinally up to 2 m from septic tank edge at 0.3 m and 0.5 m depth. The soil samples are analyzed for sulphates, chlorides, phosphates, nitrates. The soil samples for bacterial analysis (E. coli) were collected in both monsoon and non-monsoon seasons upto 10 m from septic tank edge. From analysis of soil samples it can be concluded that concentration of nitrate, chloride, phosphate and sulphates leached from septic tank are not able to effect quality of bore well water located downstream of septic tank. The E. coli movement in the soil is observed upto 5 meters from the edge of the septic tank. The study concludes that the present distance between public borewell and septic tank is sufficient to prevent groundwater contamination.

Abstract C112: Understanding and addressing cancer disparities among American Indians in North Carolina: The Southeastern cancer health equity partnership

Abstract North Carolina (NC) is home to the largest American Indian population in the Eastern United States (approximately 300,000 residents, about 2.8% of the total NC population), represented by eight state and federally recognized tribes (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Sappony, Occaneechi Band of Saponi Nation, Meherrin, Haliwa Saponi, Coharie, Lumbee, Waccamaw Siouan) and four urban Indian organizations (Metrolina Native American Association, Guilford Native American Association, Triangle Native American Society, Cumberland County Association for Indian People). This population experiences significant health disparities largely related to adverse social determinants of health and limited access to health care. With regards to cancer, disparities exist for incidence and mortality for certain cancer, although there are limited data available with regards to cancer screening stage at diagnosis, treatment and survivorship. Furthermore, evidence suggests that racial misclassification contributes to a significant underestimation of the true cancer incidence and mortality in this population. To address the cancer care needs of NC American Indians, a unique collaboration was established in 2021 among the leadership of the Community Outreach and Engagement programs at the three NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers in North Carolina (Duke Cancer Institute, University of North Carolina Lineberger Cancer Center, Wake Forest Baptist Comprehensive Cancer Center). The collaboration, entitled, The Southeastern American Indian Cancer Health Equity Partnership (SAICEP), has as its mission to "understand and address the cancer-related health needs of American Indian communities in our catchment areas and beyond." SAICEP includes: (1) a quarterly speakers' series, featuring nationally recognized experts in the area of American Indian cancer research and care; (2) educational outreach and engagement activities at tribal and state cultural events; and, (3) cutting-edge culturally respectful research to understand and address cancer disparities at the tribal and state level. Partnerships have been established with tribal leaders across the state as well as researchers at the University of North Carolina at Pembroke in the traditional homeland of the Lumbee tribe (the largest tribe in the state). Future endeavors will include partnerships with tribes in other states in our catchment areas (Virginia, South Carolina). Citation Format: Ronny A. Bell, Tomi Akinyemiju, Stephanie B. Wheeler.

Unlock the Art of People Analytics through Workforce Competency Management

Data application in organizations has shifted its focus to meeting the legal requirements of employment. This shift in data use gradually altered the dynamics of the Human Resource Management (HRM) role, and organizations now expect high-quality analysis from HR professionals. Various studies suggested that the use of Human Resource Analytics (HRA) would assist HR professionals in developing diverse viewpoints on their contribution to the financial targets of organizations through the creation of suitable measurements. Still, not many researchers have explored the role of HRA in increasing the business outcomes of Indian organizations. In this study, we analysed the role of HRA competencies in determining business outcomes as well as examined the gap existing in the expected and existing competencies of HR analysts in Indian organizations. Our in-depth literature review prepared a conceptual framework based on Capability Motivation and Opportunity (CMO) model. A quantitative methodology was adopted to gather the data as it integrates the components of HRA competency and measures their impact on business outcomes. A structured questionnaire was designed and distributed to 230 HR professionals, including HRA users as well as HR managers who work in different organizations in the city of Bengaluru. The data were analysed using various statistical tools and SPSS software. Overall, our study provides a significant depiction of the role of HRA in determining business outcomes, as well as the gap between the competencies demonstrated by HR analysts and the competency levels expected of them.

ANALYSE THE IMPORTANCE OF DISTANCE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS DURING WORK-FROM-HOME EMPLOYMENT AND HOW IT IMPACTED-ON EMPLOYEE'S PRODUCTIVITY FOR A POST-PANDEMIC WORK IN THE INDIAN IT SECTOR

This research was conducted to develop an idea about the impact that digital learning could possess during the work-from-home period for IT employees of India and their return to the office. The secondary qualitative approach was chosen for the development of this research. The research was conducted on an overall data analysis and discussion based on the 15 secondary sources. From the overall discussion, it was determined that digital learning platforms provided various advantages and disadvantages in the context of increasing the productivity of employees. The flexible work schedule, technological usage, and soft skills were identified as the significant advantages of digital learning platforms. On the other hand, lack of communication and increased laid-back attitude amongst the employees have further curbed their overall productivity in the post-pandemic workplace situation in Indian IT organisations. Lastly, to conclude, this research has effectively proven that digital learning both positively and negatively influenced employee productivity levels in the Indian IT sector in the post-pandemic work context.
