In today’s competitive business scenario, the Pivot in supply chain is Consumer satisfaction. This could be considered as the most important internal goal to achieve in order to be active and leader in the business environment.

All these issues forces the manufacturer and rest value chain partner to become Agile in nature. The consumer is also part of this continuously changing innovative environment, which is mainly meant for them only and to a large extent for sustainability. These volatile and continuously changing environment may also effects consumer satisfaction level in some or other aspects while using the product and at the time of use end. The agility in Supply Chain may leads to a shorter product life cycle and forces the consumer to cope with the secondary car market within few years of purchase. Also the role of government and dealer outlets regarding environmental effects like NGT legislatives and support of dealers for creating awareness among consumer regarding pollution control is also one of the key factors. This study focus on these factors that have impact on the satisfaction level of end-user .An effort is made to check the perceived effect of these factors on consumer, at the same time study suggest how these factors can be modulated to lower extent with the aid of eco-leasing business model in context of Indian car market.

Reported Data

Business model innovation (BMI) is a subject that has been much investigated in recent decades. Despite this growing interest, and the general assumption that BMI contributes to business performance (BP), an absence of scale remains as a limitation, and more research is required regarding this correlation. We analysed the correlation of BMI, in terms of value creation, proposition and capture, and BP regarding consumer satisfaction, market effectiveness and current profitability. Our samples consist of 51 companies located in technological parks in Brazil and we used self-reported data to conduct the study. As a result, it was identified that there is a positive correlation regarding BMI and BP as main concepts. Value creation and proposition are also positively correlated, with BP as an aggregated variable and with customer satisfaction. Value capture, market effectiveness and current profitability do not present a positive correlation with the other variables.

Innovation Strategies

Innovation has gained growing attention in the strategic management field, and — as a strategic orientation — it has been predominantly considered as a homogenous class of differentiated strategic mindsets. This contribution aims at distinguishing different sub-typologies of innovation strategies and validating their profiles and consistency. It explores approaches discussed in the mainstream literature as well as the possibility that other orientations could exist. A cluster analysis outlines four strategic orientations showing differences in terms of competitive drivers, value creation architectures, outsourcing and alliance policies, and managerial processes. Findings offer scholars and practitioners a better understanding of strategic alternatives in pursuing innovation through the identification of systems of consistency among managerial variables — e.g., configuration of the supply chain — thus fostering uniqueness and sustainability of the competitive advantage, and driving managers’ decision. In particular, what really characterised the different innovation strategies here shown is the way they deal with the value chain structure, meaning a key part of the business model.

A foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment in the form of controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment made by a firm or individual in one country into business interests located in other country. Generally, Foreign direct investment (FDI) takes place when an investor establishes foreign business operations or acquires foreign business assets, including establishing ownership or controlling interest in a foreign company.Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India is a major monetary source for economic development in India. Foreign companies invest directly in fast growing private Indian businesses to take benefits of cheaper wages and changing business environment of India. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) gives both positive and negative impacts on Indian economy in epoch of global value chain. The global value chain (GVC) describes the people and activities involved in the production of a good or service and its supply, distribution, and post-sale activities (also known as the supply chain) when activities must be coordinated across geographies. A supply chain is the network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product from the delivery of source materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user. International production, trade and investments are increasingly organized within so-called global value chains (GVCs) where the different stages of the production process are located across different countries. Industrialists are having different thoughts on impacts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Indian economy.

Flexibility Index

Purpose In complex business environment of today, organizations are trying to be flexible and agile for meeting dynamic demands of customers in terms of product variety, cost cutting and decreasing product life cycle. The main purpose of this paper is to identify different attributes of flexibility and to propose an approach for evaluating flexibility index of a supply chain. Design/methodology/approach Total 33 factors are identified from the literature and further clustered into six major groups. They are top management commitment, organizational factors, mutual understanding, flow of information, relationship and decision-making and responsiveness. On the basis of these factors, an index has been developed by using graph theory matrix approach to evaluate the flexibility intensity of the supply chain for the firm in consideration. Findings The proposed approach has been illustrated in context to an Indian automobile organization, and value of the flexibility index has been evaluated. Framework proposed will help the supply chain managers to evaluate the flexibility index of their respective organizations. Research limitations/implications As values taken for different flexibility sub-factors are based on inputs given by managers of case organization, chances of bias may be there. Therefore, a study may be validated with more case studies to validate the proposed framework. Based on the flexibility index, organizations can find their strong and weak areas for strategy development. Originality/value A firm can also compare the flexibility index of its own supply chain with other’s supply chain or with the best in the industry for benchmarking purpose. Benchmarking of flexibility will help organizations in developing strategies to compete in dynamic market scenario.

Recent trends in the global business environment such as overwhelming globalization, short product life cycle, and cost reducing strategies have exposed various types of supply chains in the face of a great deal of uncertainties and risks. One of the main risks in supply chain is risk of disruption. Disruptions, which can derive from natural and man-made sources, have attracted the attention of academia, industry, as well as supply chain advisors. The importance of the topic becomes more vital when it is observed that prior planning for the disruption can significantly reduce the adverse consequences of disruption. Therefore, in the chapter, the authors would try to introduce the phenomenon of supply chain disruption along with its importance. Recent trends that greatly necessitate careful planning of supply chain disruption are presented, and lastly, different ways through which the adverse consequences of disruption can be mitigated are given to the readers.
