A review of literature on entrepreneurship reveals that most researchers adopt a uni-dimensional approach to explain the phenomenon. This approach, however, has failed to offer consistent explanation of the phenomenon, especially of pioneering-innovative (PI) entrepreneurship. This paper...

We provide in this paper a simple proof of the proposition that comparability of first differences of utility implies cardinality when the range of the utility function is a connected subset of the reals.

Contingency theory is viewed as an outcome of social transition. The evolution and development of contingency organization theory in the West and in India is reviewed. Its extensions, implications, and limitations are noted, and an assessment of its usefulness to the author as researcher and...

In this paper, to begin with we present a generalization of the independence of irrelevant expansions assumption to the situation with an arbitrary yet finite number of players, and with the help of a comparatively simpler proof than the one suggested by Thomas (19981), we uniquely characterize...

This paper analyses the working capital trends in the medium and large manufacturing public limited companies in India during 1970-71 to 1975-76.

For the coming decade the demand for food and non-food agricultural commodities would warrant a rate of growth of 3.5 per cent to 4 per cent per annum in agricultural production. At the end of 1980s, it is likely that the demand for foodgrains would be in the range of 170 to 180 million tonnes....

The paper describes the methodology and strategy adopted by the RDP Group to prepare and facilitate the implementation of the first action research project located in Dharampur, and the lessons it gained in the process. The paper is presented in two parts. The first part describes the...

The main argument of this paper rests upon the assumption that while the post-colonial education policy has emphasised the need for a truly national goal of education, arguing for a departure from the British racist system of education, its critique of the British system, however, does not...

In this paper, we provide a simple proof of the one-dimensional version of the Kakutani’s fixed point theorem, which is required to prove the existence of a Walrasian equilibrium in a two commodity multi-agent economy where preferences are convex. In a final section of this paper we apply the...

In this paper we describe the application of the multi-period optimization based DSS in a polymer manufacturing company in India. This is probably the first attempt to use a mathematical programming model for operating and strategic decision making a polymer manufacturing company in India. The...
