Leadership Approaches

Effective top management leadership is the pillar of success in any organization. This is a widely shared view since the inception of industrial age. Though it is still valid in the current era, with the advancement of technology and workforce quality, leadership approaches are getting more sophisticated with every passing day. In today’s business context, success is no more associated with stereotyped leadership approaches. It is associated with the contingent approaches of leadership which are flexible and adaptive with varied socio-cultural aspects in different demographic regions. In this article, we focus on investigating how demographic factors influence the success or failure of top management leadership in the Indian context. In the course of our research, we considered seven different factors (availability of raw material, market demand for finished goods, proper utilization of equipment, manpower utilization, salaries and wages, uninterrupted availability of energy and fuel, and investment in technology) as key factors for the success of any manufacturing unit. Our findings indicate that, among these seven factors, only two (utilization of equipment and manpower utilization) are associated with the demographic aspects of a business operation. Even after handling five factors successfully, if the senior leadership fails to address the social, cultural and political issues of a certain demography, it leads to ineffective utilization of manpower. In addition to this, the leader’s inability in realizing the level of education, knowledge, and intelligence of the workforce of a specific demographic region can lead to inefficient machine utilization. These elucidations guided us to conclude our research by pointing out demographic factors as key considerations in the recruitment, selection, and placement process of top management leadership positions in any manufacturing unit across the country.

Abstract Innumeracy, that is, the inability to deal with numbers and provide correct estimates about political issues, is reported to be widespread among the public. Yet, despite the recognition that a conspiracy mindset is an increasingly common phenomenon in Western democracies, this has not been considered as a potential correlate of innumeracy. Using data from an online sample of respondents across 10 European countries, we show that those with a higher propensity to hold a conspiracy worldview tend to overestimate the actual share of the immigrant population living in their own country. This association holds true when accounting for country heterogeneity and other cognitive, affective and socio-demographic factors. Employing a comparative design and refined measurements, the article contributes to our understanding of how a conspiracy mentality may influence perceptions of relevant political facts, questioning basic processes of democratic accountability.

As high-grade refractories raw material，kyanite is widely used and the market demand is increasingly greater. To identify the process mineralogical properties of kyanite from Heibei so as to provide a mineralogical basis for its chemical composition, mineral constituent，ores texture and structure and so on. The results show that: the kyanite Al2O3 21.50%, SiO2 52.87%, using high intensity magnetic separation-gravity separation-flotation folwsheet. Experiments show that, the grinding fineness of -200 mush 65%, with strong intensity magnetic separation, magnetic concentrate by shaking the low intensity magnetic separation，we can get magnetite, garnet, biotite and phlogopite four concentrates, strong magnetic ore tailings consolidated by a rocking bed mud thrown first, refined through flotation, won Kyanite concentrate grading about 56.11% at a recovery of 49.90%.
