ONLINE SHOPPING – CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS ON BIG BILLION DAYS OF FLIPCART

Flipkart has come a long way. From being a mere start-up with little knowledge and experience to being India’s number one e-commerce company. It has seen a major shuffle and reshuffle in its core management team as well. When Flipkart began its Big Billion Day Sale in 2014, there were many fax-paus. The major reasons behind the failure of the sale could be grouped under three broad heads- inherent faults, trade related malpractices, and the fierce competition. The inherent faults are technical issues, low inventory management, and improper planning and execution were among the major reasons for its failure. Other issues were trade related malpractices like fake deals, price changes, no refunds or cancellations and finally the Competition from the big rivals like Amazon, Snapdeal etc. Disgruntled shoppers were brutal in their criticism of the sale on social media. Some even pointed out that the rival firms Amazon and Snapdeal, were offering products at cheaper prices than Flipkart.

Legal Framework of Public-Private Partnership Contract Management in Varies Countries: Recommendations for Turkiye

Public-private partnerships emerge as an alternative financing method in providing public services for developing countries. Effective contract management is an important element for these high-risk and complex projects. For this reason, in the study, a literature review was conducted on contract management in public private partnerships and a framework was presented by determining the main activities for contract management in public private partnerships. Then, the laws and regulations in the developing countries of Brazil, Kenya, Kosovo, the Philippines and Turkiye were examined comparatively within this framework. As a result of the study, regulations were found for the establishment of administration and contract management team, planning, establishment and execution of contract management, managing contract changes, managing performance and contract termination and asset transfer, in these five countries examined. However, it has been concluded that there are deficiencies in the legal framework regarding risk management, monitoring and evaluation and relationship management, which are important criteria of contract management. Both activities are critical for successful contract management in public private partnership projects. In this context, recommendations have been made for Turkiye.

Research on Internal Control and Financial Management of Administrative Institutions and Public Institutions under the New Situation

With the development of modern society, the functions of administrative institutions and public institutions are constantly evolving. Under the background of comprehensively deepening reform, higher requirements are put forward for the financial management of administrative institutions and public institutions. The financial management status of administrative institutions and public institutions will directly affect the quality of public services. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the internal control of financial management. By leveraging the constraints and supervision mechanisms of internal control, the transparency and credibility of financial management can be effectively enhanced. However, in the actual internal control and financial management of administrative institutions and public institutions, there are still some problems, which make it difficult to improve the level of financial management and affect the sustainable development of administrative institutions and public institutions. By analyzing the internal control and financial management of administrative institutions and public institutions under the new situation, this article proposes plans such as strengthening the construction of professional management teams, deeply using information technology means, and improving the internal control system, effectively enhancing the management efficiency of administrative institutions and public institutions and better adapting to the development of the times.

From Presence to Policy: The Conditional Impact of Women's Representation in Top Management Teams in Chinese Local Governments

ABSTRACTWhile public administration research has begun exploring the impact of women's representation in top leadership positions in public organizations, the conditions under which women's representation in top management teams (TMTs) produces policies specifically benefiting women remain underexamined. Using a panel dataset covering 276 Chinese municipalities (2010–2018), this study examines how women's representation in mayoral teams affects women‐sensitive policy adoption. Fixed‐effects Poisson regression analyses suggest that TMTs with two or more women leaders are likely to adopt more women‐sensitive policies than TMTs with no or a single woman leader. This relationship strengthens when women occupy a larger proportion of provincial leadership roles, but it weakens when TMTs maintain stronger patronage ties to provincial male leaders. These findings advance representative bureaucracy research by demonstrating how passive representation translates into active representation in government upper echelons from a team‐based perspective and how this effect is contingent on institutional factors within a multi‐level governance system.

Climate Change Initiatives, Environmental Management Training, and Firm Performance: The Trickle‐Down Effect of Board‐Level Gender Diversity on Gender Diversity in the top Management Team

ABSTRACTWe examine the interrelationships among climate change initiatives, environmental management training, and firm performance while considering the trickle‐down effect of board‐level gender diversity on gender diversity in the top management team (TMT). Using an unbalanced panel dataset of 117,410 firm‐year observations from five regions, representing 11 industries and operating in 71 countries from 2013 to 2022, our findings reveal that climate change initiatives significantly enhance firm performance. Our results further exhibit that the interaction effects of gender diversity at the board and TMT levels (the trickle‐down effect) support climate change initiatives by encouraging environmental management training (EMT), thereby improving firm performance. To address the potential endogeneity issues, we employed a two‐step system generalized method of moments (GMM) approach. Our empirical results are robust to endogeneity and alternative measures. Overall, our evidence supports the Resource‐Based View Theory and Upper Echelon Theory to demonstrate how a diverse TMT and board members can contribute to more robust climate change strategies by using EMT as a resource to achieve performance objectives. Hence, we make important contributions to the corporate governance and environmentalism strands of the literature by highlighting the role of gender in shaping climate change initiatives and influencing firm performance.

Determinants of proactive intellectual property management in manufacturing Mexican SMEs: Analyzing the influence of top management team characteristics

ABSTRACT This study examines how top management team (TMT) characteristics influence intellectual property (IP) management styles in Mexican manufacturing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Using multinomial logistic regressions, factors such as firm size, age, education level, and IP awareness are analyzed in 323 SMEs to determine their effect on IP approaches. The findings indicate that larger and older SMEs are more likely to adopt proactive IP strategies. High IP awareness among TMT members strongly correlates with proactive IP management, reinforcing the importance of leadership in strategic decision making; however, the interaction between TMT education and IP experience does not significantly enhance IP management adoption. These findings contribute to the literature on SME strategic management by highlighting the role of managerial expertise in IP strategy. The study offers policy implications, particularly in the context of rising trade protectionism, emphasizing the need for government-led initiatives to improve IP education and strategic support for SMEs in global trade uncertainties.

Pilot Study on Delay Factors and Solutions Strategies in Government Buildings Projects in Kuwait: Stakeholders’ Perspectives Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)

Construction delays are a repeated problem in government buildings projects in Kuwait, always leading to increased costs and schedule slippage. This pilot study investigates key delay factors and corresponding solutions strategies by analyzing the responses from 60 construction professionals representing project management consultants (PMCs), contractors, and consultants. Using a structured questionnaire and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the study identifies and validates critical delay constructs and explores useful solutions measures from stakeholders’ perspectives. The findings provide foundational data to refine the main study and enhance model validity for structural equation modeling (SEM). The top of the delay factors are poor contractor monitoring, weakness of consultant project management team, and design faults. Recommended solutions strategies include establishing a monitoring system to track subcontractor progress and addressing potential delays proactively, ensuring timely approval for the required workforce, and establishing clear delivery schedules. The results validate the questionnaire’s reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.920) and provide insights into urgency areas for delay mitigation in the Kuwaiti governmental building construction sector.

Are Nature Index journals a valid basis for academic assessment: a study of academic impact and disruptive innovation assessment based on open bibliographic metadata and citation data

Journal listings play an important role in current journal evaluation, publication reference, research assessment and position promotion. Considering the current orientation of science and technology development and the need of transformative changes in academic evaluation, this study aims to examine Nature Index journals list. The focus will be on exploring the coverage of research topics, assessing the innovation levels of the published papers, and identifying underrepresented research areas. The outcome will facilitate the identification of high-level science and technology journals that can serve as valuable references for the Nature Index team and relevant management and research institutions in their scientific research evaluation processes. The results of the study show that of the 3029 research topics in the science fields defined by OpenAlex, 2217 (73.19%) are covered by Nature Index journals. Across all 18 research disciplines outside of Dentistry and Veterinary, Nature Index journals show a clear advantage in academic quality (the average share of dominant research topics in each disciplinary category is around 90%). However, Nature Index journals have an advantage in terms of academic impact over the level of disruptive innovation. In this study, two journals have been also selected to supplement the latest Nature Index list by taking the disruptive innovation level as the core index and the academic influence and long-term development of the journals in the related research fields as the reference. Generally speaking, the list of Nature Index journals is relatively complete, but there is still room for adjustment. Nature Index journals have a high academic impact and disruptive innovation level in most of the research topics that they cover, but they are more focused on academic impact. Appropriately adding representative journals in uncharted research areas will enhance the application value of the Nature Index in academic evaluation.

Expanding innovation boundary: the moderating role of platform ecological embeddedness

ABSTRACT While executive equity incentives are widely recognised as a key governance mechanism to align managerial interests with those of stockholders, the close link between such incentives and the innovation boundary – particularly in the context of platform ecological embeddedness – remains underexplored in existing literature. This study, using a dataset of 5938 firm-year observations from Chinese listed firms spanning from 2010 to 2022, underlines an inverted U-shaped relationship between executive equity incentives and innovation boundaries. This relationship exhibits greater salience in firms with higher platform ecological embeddedness. Statistical analysis indicates that top management team (TMT) stability mediates this relationship: executive equity incentives influence the innovation boundary by affecting the stability of the TMT. By incorporating the platform ecological embeddedness into the corporate governance-innovation strategy framework, this research not only extends corporate governance literature but also provides feasible implications for optimising innovation strategies.

Individual and Organisational Factors Influencing Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Regarding Post-Extubation Dysphagia in ICU Nurses: A Cross-Sectional Multicentre Study.

Dysphagia is a prevalent and critical issue in critically ill patients who have undergone mechanical ventilation. The knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of ICU nurses are determinants of the effectiveness of post-extubation dysphagia (PED) management. However, existing evidence regarding the current KAP status of PED among ICU nurses remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the current status of ICU nurses' KAP regarding PED, along with associated individual and organisational factors. From August to September 2024, a cross-sectional, multicentre study was conducted on a convenience sample of 305 ICU nurses from 15 tertiary hospitals in 10 cities of Guangdong Province, China. An online self-reported structured questionnaire was used to collect data on the KAP of PED among ICU nurses. A total of 305 valid questionnaires were analysed. The overall mean score was (70.08 ± 15.34). The mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice were (78.10 ± 28.98), (80.02 ± 13.27), and (52.13 ± 22.94), respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that the individual factors related to the total score included confidence in PED management (β = 0.356, p < 0.001), and the organisational factors included leadership support (β = 0.210, p < 0.001), unit compliance with PED screening and treatment protocols (β = - 0.169, p = 0.001), and availability of PED educational resources (β = 0.156, p = 0.002). ICU nurses possess a relatively extensive knowledge base and exhibit positive attitudes toward PED, but there is still room for practice improvement. Besides strengthening the training of ICU nurses on PED-related knowledge, formulating standardised protocols, establishing a multidisciplinary management team, creating a favourable improvement atmosphere, and providing sufficient training resources are indispensable measures for enhancing the quality of clinical PED management. To enhance the quality of PED management, it is advisable to formulate a multi-aceted support strategy targeting both organisations and individuals, thereby facilitating the implementation of relevant practices. The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) Statement of cross-sectional studies was followed for reporting in the study. No patient or public involvement.

Loan Delinquency and Profitability of Equity Bank, Rwanda

Purpose: The general objective of the study was to examine the effect of loan delinquency on the profitability of equity bank, Rwanda. The specific objectives of the study were: to examine the effect of interest rate, loan policy, loan size and loan duration on profitability of Equity bank in Rwanda. Methodology: Both correlational and descriptive research design utilize questionnaires to collect data on a variety of subjects. The target population consisted of 175 individuals from Equity Bank Rwanda, including Senior Management, Loan Officers, Risk Management Team, Financial Analysts, and the Compliance and Regulatory Team. By applying Slovin's formula, the researcher has determined that a suitable sample size would be 122 participants. The research employed basic random sampling to guarantee that each member of the population has an equal chance of being picked. Data collection incorporated both questionnaires and document analysis to gather comprehensive information. Data for this research was analyzed using the Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 25. Findings: The regression coefficients reveal the significant impact of each predictor on the profitability of Equity Bank, Rwanda. The constant term (α = 0.090) indicates the expected profitability when all independent variables (Interest Rate, Loan Policy, Loan Size, and Loan Duration) are zero. The unstandardized coefficients show that a one-unit increase in Interest Rate (B = 0.197, t = 4.205, p-value = 0.000), Loan Policy (B = 0.267, t = 6.389, p-value = 0.000), Loan Size (B = 0.388, t = 7.709, p-value = 0.000), and Loan Duration (B = 0.135, t = 3.282, p-value = 0.001) results in respective increases in profitability of 0.197, 0.267, 0.388, and 0.135. All these relationships are statistically significant, with p-values well below the 0.05 threshold, highlighting the strong positive influence of these predictors on the bank’s profitability. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The study recommended that Equity Bank Rwanda regularly adjust interest rates based on market trends, introduce tiered rates for varying risk profiles, and update loan policies to align with market demands and regulatory changes. For future research, academics should explore the impact of interest rates, lending rules, loan sizes, and loan terms on loan delinquency and profitability.

Multiple Simultaneous Disasters as a Complex Challenge to Disaster Management: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis

Abstract Multiple simultaneous disasters (MSD), namely the occurrence of more than one disaster at the same time, have imposed complex challenges to incident management teams (IMTs) operating at different government levels. While IMTs’ challenges and efforts in a single disaster have been extensively reported in the literature, there is limited knowledge regarding functioning of IMTs during MSDs. To fill this knowledge gap, the current study aims to further examine definitions of MSDs and identify challenges and efforts of IMTs during MSDs. An interpretative phenomenological analysis method was used to analyze transcripts of semi-structured online interviews of nine highly experienced professionals who responded to MSDs in the US over the past three decades. Findings are presented in line with three pillars of the US National Incident Management System–resource management, command and coordination, and information and communication. During MSDs, IMTs experienced lack of human and technical resources, difficulty allocating resources, lack of unified command, poor integration of Incident Command System, incompatible rules and procedures between jurisdictions, inconsistent terminologies, and information hoarding. Regarding efforts to overcome these challenges, IMTs took advantage of mutual aid, civilian-provided resources, flexibility of incident command, advanced information technologies, team meetings, and liaison officers. Considering growing risks of MSDs, more attention needs to be paid to current and future issues the IMTs face and more supports need to be provided for IMTs to foster their capabilities of managing complex demands from MSDs.

The Efficacy and Safety of Peripherally Inserted Central Catheters in Neuro Intensive Care Management: A Retrospective Study.

This study aimed to analyze the efficacy and safety of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) inserted by the PICC nursing team in the neuro intensive care unit (ICU). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 756 patients admitted to the neuro ICU of a clinical neurosciences center in Shanghai, China, between January 2019 and December 2022. All patients required elective central venous access and had a PICC inserted by the PICC nursing team. Data on patient demographics, catheter type, insertion approach, puncture site, tip position, insertion success rate, and complications were extracted from electronic medical records using Questionnaire Star software. The study compared outcomes before and after the implementation of a specialized training program for the PICC nursing team, which included theoretical and practical training on PICC insertion techniques, maintenance, and complications management. Following the implementation of the trained PICC nursing team, significant changes were observed in catheter type and insertion technique. The use of 3-way valve Solo catheters and power-injectable open-ended catheters increased, while the use of 3-way valve catheters decreased. In addition, the use of ultrasound-guided modified Seldinger technique (MST) increased significantly, with a corresponding decrease in conventional PICC insertion and MST without ultrasound guidance. Malpositioned tips occurred in 6.3% of cases. Notably, after the implementation of the trained team, complications significantly decreased ( P <0.05) and the first-attempt success rate significantly increased ( P <0.05) compared with the period before the training program. In neuro ICU patients, the use of PICCs inserted by a well-trained, competent PICC nursing team demonstrated improved outcomes, including reduced complications, increased first-attempt success rates, and higher quality of care. These findings highlight the importance of specialized training for PICC nursing teams in neurointensive care management.
