They have gone through several empirical and descriptive studies to examine the extent and the direction of effect of macroeconomic variables on stock prices and the existing relationship between the two in the contemporary scenario. It is clearly explained that increasing integration of the financial markets and implementation of various stock market reformation measures in India, the activities of the stock markets and their relationships with the macro economy have assumed to be very significant. This study is an attempt to examine the causal relationships between the share price of Group A companies and some of crucial macroeconomic variables namely gold price, crude oil price, foreign exchange reserve, political turbulence and call money rate. ...

The Orissa State, which was once a land of Kings and Kingdoms, now boasts of being rich source of natural resources. Its people, temple architecture, classical dance, religions, fairs and festivals, unique handlooms and handicrafts, green woodlands, rock caves, charming blue hills have always attracted historians, tourists and travellers from all over the world.

Even though India has been a latecomer to the FDI scene compared to other East-Asian countries, its significant market potential and a liberalised policy regime has sustained its attraction as a favourable destination for foreign investors. India's inward investment regime went through a series of changes since economic reforms were ushered in, two decades ago. The expectation of the policy makers was that an “investor friendly” regime will help India establish itself as a preferred destination of foreign investors. These expectations remained largely unfulfilled despite consistent attempts by policy makers to increase the attractiveness of India by making further changes in policies, which included opening up of individual sectors, raising the hitherto existing caps on foreign holding and improving investment proced...

Though this research theme has been extensively researched in Western countries, very limited research has been done in the prevailing HRM scenario obtained in developing economies, especially in India. Hence, this article attempts to study the relationship and fill this research gap. A two-stage structural equation modeling (SEM) has been used to study this relationship. In the first stage, the proposed measurement model is validated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and, in the second, the structural model examines the hypothesized relationship between the HR practices and organizational performance. It is found that the two are positively related. The findings of this study strengthen existing literature in the area and have important implications for managers engaged in HR functions.

The study examines the influence of employee perceptions towards HPWP use on organizational performance through the mediating variable ‘affective commitment of employee (ACE)’. Data for the study were collected from employees of 30 business units administering pre-existing questionnaires. The model was tested using 2-1-2 mediation analysis (‘bathtub’) as proposed by Croon and van Veldhoven (2007) and it fits well with data. It has important theoretical contributions that perceptions of employees towards HPWP use play an important role and HPWP result in organizational performance through employee-level outcomes suc...

Liberalization and deregulation witnessed in the Indian markets in the 1990s have resulted in a spurt in banking activity in India. Significant advances in communication have enabled banks to expand their reach, both in terms of geography covered as well as new products introduced. With increased competition in wholesale banking due to the entry of foreign banks and new private sector banks, the sector has witnessed a squeeze in margins. This has led to banks increasing their focus on retail banking so as to obtain access to low cost funds and to expand into relatively untapped, potential growth areas. Banks and financial institutions are thus continuously exploring new avenues for increasing their footprint and safeguarding their margins. In this study we have focused mainly on various financial products of UCO bank available and how this products help to different categories of c...
