Title | : | Bonding corporate sustainability strategies with strategy planning for an exemplar business performance |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Sendil Mourougan |
Abstract: Although many companies investigate sustainability management and publish sustainability reports, it seems that sustainability issues are pursued more coincidentally than with a clear strategy. On one hand, research is done for the identification and determination of distinct aspects concerning economic, ecological and social dimensions of sustainability. On the other hand, scientific effort is recognizable regarding the establishment of specific sustainability strategies, e.g. strategies that focus on internal/external orientation of sustainability commitment.

Title | : | Consumer Brand Loyalty: A Study on FMCGs-Personal Care Products in Rural and Urban Areas of India |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Mr. Jyoti Pradhan || Dr. Devi Prasad Misra |
Abstract: The globalization of world economy has increased competition, locally as well as internationally. In such competitive business milieu, organizations need a distinguishing element that will keep consumers identifying and buying their products. With increase in competition annually, the traditional sources of competitive advantage like leadership in price and quality is not enough to ensure the success of a product anymore in both rural and urban markets. In other words, Company executives are recognizing that the true worth of the organization is not the tangible assets it owns, but the value ascribed to the brands it is developing to satisfy the needs of the consumer.
