Imparting medical knowledge to pharmaceutical sales force

Keycustomers of the pharmaceutical industry are qualified medical practitioners.

Product launch training is planned by medical and marketing team based on the feature benefits of the product being launched. The training unit of the medical department of pharma companies are an inseparable part of the whole marketing effort.

Growth, performance and projections — Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME\'s) in India: A discourse analysis

The micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (MSME) sector is regarded as an economy's growth engine. During 2012-13, the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector, including that of the business services industry, contributed 37.54 percent to the nation's exports GDP, with 805.24 lakh people employed inside this sector. For the fiscal year 2014-15, the industry contributed 44.70 percent of India's overall exports. Income and wealth inequality are also widespread, particularly in emerging nations like India. We require a 'Inclusionary Growth' framework to handle these issues. Growth will not even be comprehensive until and unless the benefits of growth reach the other side of the pyramid. A continuous increase in per capita income cannot inevitably translate to a sustained gain in standard of life in a developing country like India, where disparity in wealth and economic activity is large.

Trend identification with the relative strength index (RSI) technical indicator –A conceptual study

We all must agree that the word "trend" is now the buzzword of the stock market. As a part of investment strategy and analysis, it is always suggested that the investors should keep an eye on medium-term and short-term changes in addition to longer-term (secular) patterns. Traders and investors use the RSI as a momentum indicator. Overbought and oversold situations are indicated by RSI values between 70 and 30. Over the past two decades, several techniques have been developed to analyze NIFTY 50 data for investment purposes. In this paper, we have estimated the returns by looking at the two trends i.e., 50-50 and 60-40. In addition to this, how to trade and back-test our strategy is also explained. Applying these two RSI strategies to the NIFTY 50 chart revealed that 50-50 offers a higher long-term return, while 60-40 provides a superior short-term return. Finally, the strategies' returns F-statistics and P-values were calculated and analyzed to determine their significance level and acceptability.

Application of discounted cash flow model valuation: The case of Excide industries

Theoretical and practical features of the widely used discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation approach are examined in depth in this paper. This research evaluates Exide Industries by using the DCF Valuation technique. It is widely accepted that the discounted cash flow approach is an effective tool for analyzing the situation of an organization even in the most complicated circumstances. The DCF approach, on the other hand, is prone to huge assumption bias, and even little modifications in an analysis' underlying assumptions may substantially affect the valuation findings. As a result, of the sensitivity analysis, we discovered bullish, base, and worst-case scenarios with target share prices of Rs. 253.25, Rs. 171.37, and Rs.133.25, respectively, by adjusting growth and WACC (Weighted-Average Cost of Capital) values.

Technostress and its impact on job satisfaction: Evidences during COVID-19 pandemic among faculty members in higher education in Karnataka

Teachers in schools, colleges, and universities have utilized Information and Communication Technology (ICT) based learning and teaching in the present COVID-19 pandemic situation. Teachers, students, and all other stakeholders have been stressed as a result of this abrupt paradigm shift in education. In recent years, teaching has become a difficult job (Saras, 2018), Instructors are expected to quickly adapt and incorporate technological innovations into their teaching while also participating in administrative and other academic activities, all of which contribute to occupational stress among teachers. Competition has crept into the education industry in this dynamic climate. Faculty today serves in a variety of positions in addition to instructing students, such as mentor, coach, consultant, administrator, researcher, and so on. He or she is required to devote more time and effort to the institutions to meet the demands of an ever-changing academic environment. This study attempted to study the influence of personal variables like gender, course and tenure on technostress. The results found that the personal characteristics had no significant impact on technostress in a sample of 84technical and non-technical faculty members. Further, technostress did not show to have any impact on job satisfaction and organisational commitment; indicating a need for a more comprehensive further study.

Role of kitty party in micro finance

Traditionally, women all over the world have been saving time in their busy schedule to share with others. Kitty parties allow women to move from the humdrum of normal life to meet friends and engage. They provide women with a way to establish friendships, share grievances, practice self-care, and find comfort in the sisters built during this encounter. Each month, a group of women come together for a cat party filled with local music, games, and local delicacies. During this circle, each guest contributes a set amount of money to a bag called a kitty. This kitty is designed for a specific member every month. At the end of the kitty party, that member takes his or her winning money home and is responsible for hosting the next kitty party. This process continues until all the women in the group have found the kitty once, and then it starts again. This paper is focused for micro finance through kitty party.

Trend and dynamics of card payment system in India

Payment system in India has undergone a dramatic change in recent years. The payment through cards, using both debit and credit cards, is one of the early innovations in the modern payment system in the country. Several intermediaries are involved in the effective functioning of card payment mechanism. As a result, the card payment infrastructure has grown remarkably well across India. The volume of payments made through these devices as well as the value of card payments increased rapidly in the last two decades. Among the commercial banks, the State Bank of India dominates in the maintenance of ATM infrastructure, the issue of cards and in the volume and value of card transaction. The private sector banks dominate in the installation of POS terminals and HDFC bank tops in the POS credit card transaction. However, the recent trend shows that the transaction through cards as a percentage of total retail electronic payments has been declining in India, as other retail payments platforms have become popular.

Customer relationship management and higher education in India

Educational institutions worldwide are undergoing fundamental shifts in how they operate and interact with their “customers”, students, alumni, donors, and faculty members. Higher education, especially the management education has been changing rapidly and educational institutions are compelled to focus and shift their strategies on student community, faculty members, and industrial organizations so that they remain relevant to the society at large. A nation can remain competitive and its economy can continue grow, only if the quality of knowledge provided by higher education institutions becomes meaningful. Technological, economic, sociological, and governmental forces are altering education dramatically, impacting its institutions, teachers, students, funding sources, and basic function in society. To unlock potential and help talented people to gain advanced training, whatever their background, requires customer-centric approach to education.

Road ahead of Indian banking through universal banking and regulatory environment

The challenges staring at banking today need not result in a feeling of inadequacy. The IT framework in India had strong ground and the industry has been showing significant growth rates in the previous years, with the financial sector having benefited immensely from the offerings of IT. Banks have commenced to grow laterally and at an exponential rate. As India develops into a formidable force, it is Information Technology, which holds the key to the process of transformation. The key strengths lie in knowledge processing and as bankers performing this function quite well both for customers as well as for the growth of organizations. This underlying strength will ensure the key to success.
