SMEs and digital transformation during a crisis: The emergence of resilience as a second-order dynamic capability in an entrepreneurial ecosystem
Publisher: Journal of Business Research, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
In this research, we examine how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) build their resilience capability during a crisis, through the adoption of digital technologies. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded in case studies of eight entrepreneurs from India who had to radically change their business models and operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, we develop a multilevel model of resilience capability: at the micro (entrepreneur), meso (organizational), and macro (entrepreneurial ecosystem) levels. In developing resilience, the SMEs alternate their focus: from concentrating on the core to moving toward the periphery of their organizational boundaries, highlighting a shifting play of the three first-order dynamic capabilities of sensing, seizing, and transforming. By affording SMEs an opportunity to transform themselves by embracing digital technologies, the crisis leads to the emergence of resilience capability as a second-order dynamic capability.

Corporate entrepreneurship programmes as mechanisms to accelerate product innovations
Publisher: Entrepreneurship Research Journal, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
This paper explores how firms engage in corporate entrepreneurship through programmes, and what kind of outcomes they achieve in terms of innovations. Insights are drawn from four cases of organisations that engaged in corporate entrepreneurial activities. The paper identifies two dimensions of corporate entrepreneurship programmes as idea themes, indicating whether programmes are designed with specific themes in mind, and idea ownership, indicating whether there is a dedicated team to focus on new ideas, or not. These dimensions are under the direct control of management. Based on these two dimensions, four models of corporate entrepreneurial activities are presented linking each of these models to one of the four cases of product innovations (product line extensions, product improvements, new products, start-up businesses). By drawing on the insights of the effectuation and causation logics, the paper provides a fresh perspective of corporate entrepreneurship programmes in an emerging, non-Western cultural setup and the product innovation context. This is primarily done by introducing a 2 × 2 matrix regarding corporate entrepreneurship idea themes and idea ownership in an emerging context.

Loneliness in Older Indian Dyads
Publisher: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
Loneliness has been recognised as a major public health concern in older adults in developed nations, with little focus on low- and middle-income countries such as India. While the protective nature of social relationships on loneliness has been explored in the context of marriage, typically these benefits are examined in individual spouses rather than within the marital dyad. Methods: A sample of 398 opposite-sex married Indian couples (mean age 54.8 years) was obtained from the pilot wave of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI) conducted in 2010. These cross-sectional data were analysed using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model, with one’s own and one’s partner’s cognitive function, functional limitations, depressive symptoms, employment status and contact with friends included as predictors of loneliness. Results: There were no gender differences in the pattern of associations. Depression was positively associated with loneliness with actor and partner effects being significant. One’s partner being employed was associated with less loneliness. Conclusions: The sample showed low levels of depression, loneliness, and reduced functionality; however, depression still predicted one’s own and one’s partner’s loneliness. Future work using longitudinal data could examine the role of employment in loneliness, particularly within the context of gender roles.

Life of Sri Lankan refugee women in the camps of Tamil Nadu
Publisher: In (Ed.) S Irudaya Rajan's The Routledge Handbook of Refugees in India, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
A large number of Sri Lankan Tamils fled to India escaping violence during the civil war that lasted from 1983 to 2009. Numerous studies are available on global Sri Lankan Tamil refugees in general; however, only a few foci solely on women and their conditions in refugee camps, particularly in India. This study is an attempt to fill this gap in the existing scholarship and offer a preliminary understanding on the subject matter. A qualitative study was conducted on fourteen first-generation and nine second-generation refugee women from two refugee camps of Vellore district in Tamil Nadu. Adding to that, six female employees, out of which five have previously lived in refugee camps, from the Organization for Eelam Refugee Rehabilitation (OfERR), Chennai, in Tamil Nadu were also interviewed to overcome the limitation of the small sample size of refugee women the authors could access and validate the data collected. This study analyses the conditions of Sri Lankan Tamil refugee women in camps, focussing on four specific factors –employment opportunities, toilet facilities, and menstrual hygiene, domestic abuse, and return to Sri Lanka. The findings of this pilot study indicate that even after a decade of living as refugees, their situation still seems uncertain and deplorable. Most of the women in the camps are not educated beyond high school and are largely unemployed. Some get into the loop of marriage and child-rearing at a young age, and many are victims of domestic violence. The toilet facilities of the camps studied are subpar, which is an added inconvenience for them, especially during their menstrual cycle. The study has also identified a generational gap in terms of attitude towards their return to Sri Lanka. The first-generation mothers wish to go back to Sri Lanka but are unable to do so as their children prefer to stay back in India. This study thus focuses on the narratives of the vulnerable refugee women to elucidate their everyday life and conditions in the refugee camps in India.

Concepts of Biodiversity, Pluralism, and Pragmatism: The Case of Walnut Forest Conservation in Central Asia
Publisher: SATS, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
This paper examines philosophical debates about concepts of biodiversity, making the case for conceptual pluralism. Taking a pragmatist perspective, I argue that normative concepts of biodiversity and eco-centric concepts of biodiversity can serve different purposes. The former would help stress the values of local communities, which have often been neglected by both early scientific approaches to conservation, and by policy makers prioritizing the political or economic interests of specific groups. The latter would help build local research programs independent of pressures from economic or political actors. I employ a case study on environmental research on walnut forests in Kyrgyzstan in support of my argument. Against tendencies to frame different understandings of biodiversity in terms of geographical areas, I propose an interpretation drawing on the philosophy of ecology. Adherence to environmental pragmatism enables a sufficiently complex picture of developing environmental research in the area, capturing issues about scientific framings and local understandings.

New-generation Malayalam Cinema: A Decade of Promise
Publisher: Economic and Political Weekly, 2022
Abstract

Links
“New-generation Malayalam cinema,” a coinage used to identify fi lms made after 2010 in Kerala, introduced innovative changes in the Malayalam cinema ecosystem through experiments in fi lm language, form, and storytelling. The new-generation fi lms are inclusive in their efforts to create conversations around caste, gender, and other marginalised communities that lacked representation in the mainstream cinema of the preceding decades. This article will attempt to scrutinise these changes and identify major interventions through a close reading of a selection of new-generation Malayalam fi lms that have been hailed by critics, scholars, practitioners, and audiences.

Hinduism and Tribal Religions in Encyclopedia of Indian Religions
Publisher: Springer, 2022
Abstract
|
Links
"This volume offers an overview of Hinduism as found in India and the diaspora. Exploring Hinduism in India in dynamic interaction, rather than in isolation, the volume discusses the relation of Hinduism with other religions of Indian origin and with religions which did not originate in India but have been a major feature of its religious landscape. These latter religions include Islam and Christianity and, to a lesser extent, Zoroastrianism and Judaism. The volume also covers Hinduism’s close association with Tribal Religions, sometimes called Primal Religions. As its second main theme, the volume examines the phenomenon of Hinduism in the diaspora. The Indian diaspora is now beginning to make its presence felt, both in India and abroad. In India, the Indian government annually hosts a diaspora event called Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (PBD), in recognition of the growing importance of the twenty-million-strong diaspora. Although not all Indians are Hindus, most are, both in India and abroad, and a strong sense of Hindu identity is emerging among diasporic Hindus.
This volume fills the need felt by Hindus both in India and the diaspora for more knowledge about modern-day Hinduism, Hindu history and traditions. It takes into account three main aspects of Hinduism: that the active pan-Indian and diasporic language of the Hindus is English; that modern Hindus need a rational rather than a devotional or traditional exposition of the religion; and that they need information about and arguments to address the stereotypes which characterize the presentation of Hinduism in academia and the media, especially in the West."
