This book explores how the ethically inconsistent behaviour in
workplaces can be rooted in moral fibers of the decision-makers,
and/or in their varying moral foci depending on the philosophical
cornerstones, on which those rest. It explores further whether such
decisions may be shaped or modified by contextual factors leading,
possibly, to bounded ethicality. Based on a primary survey
approaching the academicians, administrators, and other
service-holders from India and abroad, it analyses the problem, its
determinants and variations across socio-economic and demographic
factors.
This book brings together experts from four continents (Asia, North
America, Europe, Africa) and from varied disciplines to discuss a
spectrum of problems created by globalization, such as the economic
and financial, environmental, legal, cultural, socio-economic and
social media impacts. The book not only examines the problems from
a number of different perspectives, but also considers the impact
of globalization in emerging nations around the world. Due to the
very nature of these problems, the approaches adopted are both
qualitative and quantitative; it includes quantitative research on
quantum finance and the financial crisis, and also discussions on
qualitative problems, such as cultural imperialism and
neoliberalism. Of interest to economic researchers and management
professionals, the book is also a valuable resource for social
media researchers, environment scientists, and non-technical
readers concerned with socio-political issues. This single volume
offers a holistic view and therefore a more complete picture of the
problems posed by globalization.
This book covers a wide range of the issues in development studies.
Recognizing the existence of manifold challenges in achieving and
sustaining economic development, it is divided into four
sections-(i) The Macroeconomy: Foreign Trade, Structural Transition
and the Environment, (ii) Health and Standard of Living, (iii)
Education, Human Capital and Evolution of the Employment Quality in
India, and (iv) Banking and Credit: Access, Efficiency and
Stability. The book brings together a right mix of senior and young
economists who use cutting edge econometric techniques and/ or
revisit a perennial question with much sharper focus and tools to
unravel insights that are important and will inform tomorrow's
theorisation and policy making. The volume looks at important
questions like spatial concentration of low infant and child health
outcomes, trade liberalisation and export quality,
intergenerational occupational mobility, multidimensional poverty
incidence in rural India, robustness of the banking sector, to name
a few. To do so, the contributions use novel and esoteric methods
like machine learning, spatial econometrics, system GMM, quintile
regression and counterfactual decomposition (QRCD), and so on. The
rich collection holds importance for researchers and policy makers
alike, and also for practitioners working in different
developmental sectors..
This book focuses on emotional intelligence, which has emerged as a
factor in superior on-the-job performance and ability to lead an
effective life. Based on an emerging country, namely India, the
book deviates from traditional approaches by focusing on
non-cognitive rather than cognitive skills to explain and predict
performance and achievements. It finds that those with strong
intrinsic non-cognitive skills, like trustworthiness,
conscientiousness, adaptability, initiative and commitment have a
better chance of becoming effective leaders with enhanced
service-orientation, empathy and conflict management skills -traits
desired by any organization striving for efficiency. It also
demonstrates that while such imponderable, intrinsic skills matter,
they cannot replace discernible psycho-social factors and hence,
effective hiring strategies must focus on behavioural competence
along with cognitive skills. The book also discusses organizations'
desire to ensure a working environment that is vibrant and positive
in an attempt to prevent unconstructive or disruptive factors and
to ensure improved performances over time. The book is a valuable
resource for corporate personnel, as well as for researchers and
practitioners in the field.

This work is an exploration of the global market dynamics, their
intrinsic natures, common trends and dynamic interlinkages during
the stock market crises over the last twelve years. The study
isolates different phases of crisis and differentiates between any
crisis that remains confined to the region and those that take up a
global dimension. The latent structure of the global stock market,
the inter-regional and intra-regional stock market dynamics around
the crises are analyzed to get a complete picture of the structure
of the global stock market. The study further probing into the
inherent nature of the global stock market in generating crisis
finds the global market to be chaotic thus making the system
intrinsically unstable or at best to follow knife-edge stability.
The findings have significant bearing at theoretical level and on
policy decisions.

This book seeks to answer the essential question of the
investment-worthiness of green instruments. It is evident that
investing in green and energy-efficient firms will be the most
profitable choice for wise investors in the years to come. The
reconciliation of the social choice for green technology and
investors' choice for gray technology will be automatically
achieved once green firms become more profitable than gray ones, in
the Indian context. As there has been very little research done in
this area, especially in the Indian context, this book addresses
that gap. In order to do so, it follows the development of five
different portfolios consisting of 100% green, 75% green-25% gray,
50% green-50% gray, 25% green-75% gray and 100% gray stocks, and
attempts to answer questions such as: Do green portfolios entail
less relative own-risk as compared to their gray counterparts? How
effectively do green portfolios avoid market risk? Are green
portfolios inherently more stable? Do green portfolios have a
higher probability of surviving a financial crisis? Is the
performance of green portfolios backed by their fundamentals? Is
there any particular technical trading strategy that can ensure a
consistently above-average return from these portfolios?
This study is an exploration of the Indian stock market,
focusing on the possible presence of momentum trading. One thing,
however, should be noted. While it is true that momentum trading,
which tends to generate speculative bubbles, may result in a
financial market crash, its nature in contrast might depend on the
nature of the economy itself. The study, while exploring the
presence and nature of momentum trading on the Indian stock market
in recent years, seeks to relate it to significant structural
breaks in the Indian or global economy. To be precise, it outlines
a potential correlation between the instability in the stock market
and the speculative trading on the market, exploring the question
of whether it is human psychology that drives financial markets. In
the process, the choice of a significant structural break has been
obvious: the global financial meltdown of 2007-2008 a crisis that
has often been referred to as the worst ever since the crash of
1929. While analyzing the nature of momentum trading on the Indian
stock market with regard to the financial crisis of 2007-08, the
study takes into account two major representatives of the market,
the BSE (Bombay Stock Index) and NSE (National Stock Index), for
the period 2005 to 2012. This study seeks to answer a few important
questions. First of all, it tries to unveil the underlying
structure of the market. In doing so, it examines the following
issues: (i) What was the latent structure of the Indian stock
market leading up to the crisis of 2007-08? Does the structure
offer insights into designing profitable trading strategies? (ii)
Is it possible to construct a profitable portfolio on the Indian
stock market? (iii) Is there any profitable trading strategy on the
Indian stock market? While exploring these issues, the study delves
deeper, breaking the whole period down into two sub-periods, before
the crisis of 2008 and after the crisis. The purpose of this
division is to determine whether there has been any discernible
change in the market structure since the shock.
The significant development in information and communication
technology around the globe in recent year has taken almost the
form of a revolution. This so-called 'e-revolution' is said to be
transforming the global economy to a 'new' economy from an old one.
With the emerging new economy sector, there has been a significant
stock value increment in the Indian stock market. The book seeks to
explore whether this significant stock market performance is backed
by sound real economy performance. It then explores whether India
has sufficient and smooth flow of fund to sustain any such
structural change. With the advent of e-revolution, the concept of
financing is changing. Apart from traditional financiers,
alternative means of financing, most importantly venture capital
funding is gaining importance in India. The work investigates the
trend and growth in venture capital in India and compares that to
those in USA where venture capital has been a true and useful
source of fund for new economy entrepreneurs. The study reaches the
conclusion that while in the new economy venture capitalists have
distinct role to play, venture capital in its true form is still
absent in India.
With the financial crisis of 2007-08, the old issue of
finance-growth nexus is resurrected. The crisis has revealed once
again how a structurally flawed global financial system under the
New Financial Architecture might prove to be dangerous for the rest
of the economy. At this crucial juncture, thus, inquiries about the
functioning of the global financial markets are likely to be
invoked. This book while exploring this issue concentrates on the
global stock market. Specifically, it is a study into the global
market dynamics, their intrinsic natures, common trends and their
dynamic interlinkages during the stock market crisis of 2007- 2008
and the recent recovery period that has started from March 2009. It
inquires whether and how the dynamics and interlinkages of a market
change as it moves closer to a peak, falls from it and recovers.
Finally it seeks to explore how the intrinsic nature of the stock
market could be described? Is it really an 'order disguised as
disorder'?
The last few years of the twentieth century witnessed significant
developments in information and communication technology taking the
form of an e-revolution that is transforming the global economy
from a low-productive, manufacture-based old one to a
knowledge-based, highly-productive, new economy with significant
growth potential coming from irreversible advancement in knowledge.
With e-revolution, the new-economy sector is adding significant
values to Indian stock market. This book inquires whether the
underlying economic fundamentals could justify the stock market
valuations of the sector. Moreover, it explores whether new-economy
stock price movements show similar patterns irrespective of the
level of financial development and the factors explaining such
movements. It finds new-economy stocks to have bubble-determined
prices and to possess a special character holding across countries.
With functional instability embedded in the stock market, this is
perhaps the initiation of a new era of changed stock price behavior
at least for the new-economy stocks that the standard pricing
models cannot explain. This analysis would be of interest to
researchers and academicians.
