Ethical Relationships

Retailers are dependent upon wholesalers as the latter provide the regular and uninterrupted supply of merchandise to the former even sometimes on credit basis. The retailers are,thus, expected to maintain sound relations with wholesalers on the basis of ethical retail practices. In fact, in the extant literature there is not even a single study on perceptions of wholesalers about ethical retail practices. This study is, thus, an endeavor to bridge the gap in extant literature on retailing ethics. This piece of work explores empirically the retailer - wholesaler ethical relationships for good governance in retail sector empirically. The study is based upon the data obtained from seventy wholesale firms from Jammu city in J&K through an instrument. The wholesalers viewed retailers ethical in most of the issues except untimely payments of bills and even payment of less amounts as agreed upon, which creates severe problem for the wholesalers who are ultimately liable to manufacturers. The study shall be highly useful for business concerns, retailers, wholesalers, and government for the policy guidelines and potential researchers for new thrust.

Governance in the food system has become a key topic of discussion in light of the 2007-08 food price crisis. Of special importance has been the shift to include the role that non-state actors are likely to play in achieving food security under global environmental change (GEC). This paper aims to compare private sector food system governance trends in two emerging economies, Brazil and South Africa. It focuses on practices around adaptation, an area largely neglected in climate change discussion, yet a critical factor in coping with the societal consequences of GEC. This study identifies several processes, particularly within the retail sector, that could indicate normative mechanisms through which ‘good governance’ can be translated into practice.

Retail Marketing

This paper aims to explore empirically the perceptions of regulatory bodies about the legal norms followed in retail sector. Retailers are required to follow the various legal norms in their business practices but in the extant literature there is dearth of research on the topic under consideration. The study is based upon the data obtained from regulatory bodies from a northern Indian city through a self designed schedule based upon five point Likert scale. It was found that retailers do not prepare books of accounts fairly as they disclose low sales and profit. In fact, the retailers fill the tax return but at the same time, they evade the taxes by manipulating facts regarding sales and profit. However, the study is confined to retail sector and the future study can cover other areas as well.

Previously, all stereological estimation of particle number and sizes were based on models and notoriously gave biased results, were very inefficient to use and difficult to justify. For all references to old methods and a direct comparison with unbiased methods see recent reviews.The publication in 1984 of the DISECTOR, the first unbiased stereological probe for sampling and counting 3—D objects irrespective of their size and shape, signalled the new era in stereology — and give rise to a number of remarkably simple and efficient techniques based on its distinct property: It is the only known way to obtain an unbiased sample of 3-D objects (cells, organelles, etc). The principle is simple: within a 2-D unbiased frame count or sample only cells which are not hit by a parallel plane at a known, small distance h.The area of the frame and h must be known, which might sometimes in itself be a problem, albeit usually a small one. A more severe problem may arise because these constants are known at the scale of the fixed, embedded and sectioned tissue which is often shrunken considerably.

Different Types

Previous studies have found that factors that improved assessment center (AC) construct-related validity also had beneficial effects on criterion-related validity. However, some factors might have diverging effects on construct- and criterion-related validity. Accordingly, we followed recent calls to evaluate construct- and criterion-related validity of ACs simultaneously by examining the effects of exercise similarity on both aspects of validity within a single study. Data were collected in an AC (N = 92) that consisted of two different types of exercises. Convergent validity was better for similar exercises than it was for dissimilar exercises. However, regarding criterion-related validity, we did not find differences between similar and dissimilar exercises. Hence, this study revealed that improvements in AC construct-related validity are not necessarily paralleled by improvements in criterion-related validity.
