Title | : | Executive Behaviour- the Bhagavad Gita Way |

Abstract: The trait theory is the most basic and one of the important theories of leadership. But these traits become meaningful only when they are reflected in the actual behaviour of the executive. The Bhagavad Gita, written more than five thousand years ago is not just a spiritual text; it is also a book on management. A proper study of the Gita would reveal that an executive would be much benefited by an in depth study of the Gita. The present paper is about executive behaviour as envisaged by Bhagavad Gita. An executive should always focus on the performance of his duties without being anxious about the results. He should own full responsibility for all his actions and omissions. An executive should neither eat too little or too much; sleep too much or sleep too little and should be moderate in his relaxation or pastimes. An Executive should perform all his duties to the best of his ability and leave the rest to the wisdom of the top management.

Abstract: Students in any non-Hindi speaking state learn three languages and for a vast majority of them, medium of instruction at school level is Hindi. Since the students study English as one of the subjects, their proficiency in English remains low. This is more applicable to rural and semi-urban areas. This affects their performance in higher classes and professional courses where the medium of instruction is English. This study is an attempt to find out the effect of low proficiency in English on academic performance in postgraduate management students of Marathwada region of Maharashtra who come from rural and semi-urban areas. The study concludes that proficiency in English language and academic performance in management programmes are directly related and therefore much focused approach is required to be adopted in order to raise the level of proficiency in English amongst students of rural and semi-urban areas.

Abstract: If the employees of the organization get what they expect from the job, try to do their work with their highest ability. Here in the present study "EFFECTIVENESS OF NON-FINANCIAL MOTIVATION PROGRAMS IN DOMESTIC AND MULTINATIONAL PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES" the researcher has presented a comparative measurement of non-financial elements that motivates employees. This is a study on pharmaceutical employees in Bangladesh. We know that every behavior of human being is motivated. To get the best possible service from the employees, there is no alternative way to motivate them. It would be very useful to know that what kind of motivational programs may stimulate them to work. Beside financial motivators, non-financial motivators are equally important for motivating employees. Here the researcher has attempted to determine the level of motivation of the employees to the various non-financial motivators existing in their organization. Thus he has tried to know, whether the employees of the selected companies are motivated or not. To measure the motivation level, Likert's five-point scale has been used. The total number and percentage of respondents belonging to each level of satisfaction have been shown separately.

Abstract: Environment is becoming a much more urgent economic, social and political problem all over the world. World is facing the twin problem of promoting economic development and protecting the environment. In this juncture the proper accounting of environmental effects on economic development is pre-requisite to have a sustainable development. It is observed that many efforts have been done to develop a mechanism of incorporating environmental data with national income to compute economic development. Moreover, all such attempts do not address the micro economic aspect of environmental data as such interaction between a specific firm and environment. The accounting of interaction between firm and environment is a pre-requisite to find out sustainability gap in micro level. This study attempts to address the development of corporate level environmental accounting and the problems associated with that. The study is under taken considering the environmental accounting and reporting adopted by sample companies in India .

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting consumer's brand preference of small cars in Chennai. The majority of consumers prefer Maruthi Suzki brand of small car. The value, comfortability, efficiency, accessibility, ambition and need are the factors affecting consumer's brand preference of small cars. The regression analysis shows that value, comfortability, efficiency and need are positively influencing the consumer's overall satisfaction about small cars at one per cent level of significance, while accessibility is also positively influencing the consumer's overall satisfaction about small cars at five cent level of significance. Therefore, the small car manufacturers should also focus on value-creating activities as such so that consumers will have a better perception of quality of the brand. By incorporating these factors, it also delivers a functional benefit such as creating a differentiation from industry competitors. There is cut throat competitions in the market on price front and so they have to find out better quality and low cost product. Indians are conscious about the price and fuel efficiency.

Abstract: Abstract: Today Businesses are an integral part of the society. Michael Sabia, President and Chief Executive Officer of BCE Inc., has said, "Corporations are also social institutions. The role of business, according to this model, is to create value for its shareholders and also creates value for society, manifesting itself as a win-win proposition. Corporate success during these days is highly based on continued good relations with a wide range of individuals, groups and institutions. Corporate Social Responsibility plays vital role in winning the customer's confidence that will help growing the business. Many organizations actively conduct campaigns to create awareness among corporate, civic bodies, and government bodies about the importance of corporate social responsibility. The term corporate responsibility has been captioned under many names including corporate citizenship, social responsibility. CSR as described by Lord Holme and Richard Watts in 'Making Good Business Sense'. Society began to expect business to voluntarily participate in solving societal problems whether they had caused those problems or not. Report on Business Magazine recently noted that "many business leaders now believe that doing good for others means doing good for shareholders as well." Corporate social responsibility is a process in which all companies come together as one and take part in the welfare of the society. It is often referred to as business responsibility and an organization's action on environmental, ethical, social and economic issues. New legal mandates were imposed to ensure equal employment opportunities, product safety, worker safety, and environmental protection. Companies with high CSR standards are able to demonstrate their responsibilities to the stock holders, employees, customers, and the general public.

Abstract: The paper was done in the context of the Kenyan equity market which was represented at Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) for safaricom, a telecommunication firm. In this study excess returns over risk free rate was taken as dependent variable while market excess over risk free rate as independent variable .This study covers five and a half year period covering July 2008 through December 2013, the period over which Safaricom has existed as a listed company at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE). Ordinary Least squares method was adopted in a linear asset pricing model to establish the statistical significance of the return premium over the NSE return. The findings indicate that Safaricom has a small return premium over and above the risk free rate of return. Secondly, the Safaricom return premiums are insignificant and that the main determinant of the equity market return premiums at the NSE is instead market characteristics. Imperatively, impressive financial performance of the technology companies as shown by their high profitability over the study period does not translate to a return premium that is significantly different from the returns of other companies quoted at the NSE.
