This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Management (IJM) that examines how environmental moderators like market turbulence, technological turbulence, and competitive intensity influence the relationship between market orientation and business performance. The study analyzes data from 108 seafood exporting firms in India to test whether these three moderators impact the market orientation to business performance relationship. Hypothesis testing using stepwise regression found that only competitive intensity significantly affected the relationship between market orientation and business performance.
Drawing on and integrating the resource-based view (RBV) and competitive dynamics literature,
this study developed an interaction model to explore competitive contests by investigating how the interaction
between technologically heterogeneous resources and competitive actions affects performance in the nascent
market. The proposed model was examined using structured content analysis and data extracted from more than
3,200 news articles regarding the interfirm rivalry between Google and Apple in the table industry. The findings,
first, indicate that in nascent markets, aggressive competitive action can exert a negative effect on firm
performance. Second, this paper presents empirical evidence supporting the RBV through testing how the
technological resource heterogeneity of these firms contributed to their performance (in terms of technological
value and technological rarity). Finally, we found that technological resource heterogeneity mitigates the
potentially negative effects of aggressive competitive action on the performance of high-technology firms during
the nascent cycle.

The impact of outsourcing on the transaction costs and boundaries of manufact...Ian McCarthy
This paper discusses the concept of outsourcing, along with an account of the economic benefits that are achieved by reconfiguring the organization and reducing the transaction costs of providing products and services. With the practice of outsourcing experiencing exceptional growth, this paper examines the corresponding change (decline) in UK manufacturing as an economic activity, and considers how the economic benefits of outsourcing alter the contribution that an organization makes to a sector’s gross domestic product. To assess this issue, an input–output methodology for measuring economic restructuring in UK manufacturing is presented.

Lake Tana basin is one of the most potential vegetable production areas in Ethiopia. However, production in this
region has been carried out at smallholders’ level with poor marketing infrastructure. Hence, this study was aimed to
examine the structure and performance of vegetable marketing in the Lake Tana basin. Multistage random sampling
mixed with non probability sampling techniques were employed to collect data from 385 smallholder vegetable
producing farmers and 107 vegetable traders from three districts and two major town markets. Data were analyzed
using market structure and performance indicators. The result of the analysis showed that market structure in the
study area could be characterized by weak oligopolistic market with little chance of market participants to influence
market price. Storage loss and transport cost were found the two largest cost components of vegetable marketing in
the study area. Net marketing margin and producers’ share of the consumers’ price could be improved by shortening
the distance between the producer and urban consumer or reducing the intermediaries involved. Establishing
farmers’ group marketing with communication access together with least cost storage and transport technologies
should be encouraged to improve vegetable marketing performance.
Currently, firm’s dynamics urges management strategies to meet globalized market requirements. This study
analyzes the impact of Logistics Flexibility on Competitiveness of Mexican manufacturing SMEs. By using the
structural equations modeling and path diagram techniques, it shows the effects of the relationship hypothesized.
Managerial significance of results strengthens decision taking and public policy making, providing essential
information to managers, owners and human capital of firms' internal capacities and allocation of their strategical
resources
We employ Cameroonian data on 162 Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) to test fourth competing hypotheses about the impact of Supply Chain Management (SCM) on their performance. The first hypothesis states that there is a relationship between Critical Success Factors (CSFs) for implementation of SCM and SME performance in terms of customer service and satisfaction

Determinants of Supply Chain Performance of Indian Manufacturing OrganizationsWaqas Tariq
This paper aims at proposing various determinants of supply chain performance of Indian manufacturing organizations. The determinants are summarized based on extensive literature review of empirical research articles on supply chain management (SCM) and performance measurement approaches. This study is a part of a larger research project exploring SC related practices. A critical analysis is carried out so as to identify research gaps in context of performance measurement of supply chains, as well as to propose directions for future research. A conceptual model is also proposed. Critical investigation of selected articles led to an idea that there can be significant effect of selected variables on SC Performance. It is to be seen that how various parameters, taken from the literature review, affect SC performance and ultimately contributing to its competitiveness. The various parameters like supplier-buyer relations, external supply chain, environmental factors, human metrics, information sharing and performance measurement approaches are taken in a single study in the context of Indian manufacturing organizations. Based on a pilot study with sample size of 100, empirical tests resulted in reduction of items. Based on the obtained results, the organizations can enhance the SCM performance by improving the current practices/strategies through focusing on the determinants that significantly influence SCM performance. Further research can be carried out by using data of various supply chains of other sectors and industries of India to generalize the research.

Living in 21st century in itself reminds all of us the necessity of police and its administration. As more and more we are entering into the modern society and culture, the more we require the services of the so called ‘Khaki Worthy’ men i.e., the police personnel. Whether we talk of Indian police or the other nation’s police, they all have the same recognition as they have in India. But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

Banking regulations act of India, 1949 defines banking as “acceptance of deposits for the purpose of lending or investment from the public, repayment on demand or otherwise and withdrawable through cheques, drafts order or otherwise”, the major participants of the Indian financial system are commercial banks, the financial institution encompassing term lending institutions. Investments institutions, specialized financial institution and the state level development banks, non banking financial companies (NBFC) and other market intermediaries such has the stock brokers and money lenders are among the oldest of the certain variants of NBFC and the oldest market participants. The asset quality of banks is one of the most important indicators of their financial health. The Indian banking sector has been facing severe problems of increasing Non- Performing Assets (NPAs). The NPAs growth directly and indirectly affects the quality of assets and profitability of banks. It also shows the efficiency of banks credit risk management and the recovery effectiveness. NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA.

This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.

Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

A MULTIPLE – CHANNEL QUEUING MODELS ON FUZZY ENVIRONMENTIAEME Publication
In this paper, we investigated a queuing model of fuzzy environment-based a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) and study its performance under realistic conditions. It applies a nonagonal fuzzy number to analyse the relevant performance of a multiple channel queuing model (M/M/C) ( /FCFS). Based on the sub interval average ranking method for nonagonal fuzzy number, we convert fuzzy number to crisp one. Numerical results reveal that the efficiency of this method. Intuitively, the fuzzy environment adapts well to a multiple channel queuing models (M/M/C) ( /FCFS) are very well.

moderators that mediate the market orientation-business performance relationship. Most of
the studies conducted are based on this framework (Ellis et al 2006, Kirca et al 2005).
No firm can conduct business in isolation from its operating environment, therefore it holds
that external environment plays a strong role in mediating the relationship between market
orientation and its business performance. A number of moderating factors have been studied
so far. They include market turbulence, technological turbulence, competitive intensity, buyer
power, supplier power, strategy type, market growth, demand uncertainty, extent of entry
barriers (Kirca et al, 2005).
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK AND RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
The proposition that several environmental factors moderate the market orientation-
business performance relationship has been empirically proved (Kohli and Jaworski, 1990;
Narver and Slater, 1990; Appiah-Adu, 1998). They include market turbulence, technological
turbulence and competitive intensity (Jaworski and Kohli, 1993). The market orientation
construct, as described by Kohli and Jaworski (1990) consists of three components namely,
intelligence generation, intelligence dissemination and responsiveness.
This study uses the Kohli and Jaworski’s (1990) and Jaworski and Kohli’s (1993) view of
market orientation as its basis of analysis. Kohli and Jaworski’s view is one of the most
widely accepted measures of market orientation (Farrell and Oczkowski, 1997). Some of the
studies which have used the above MARKOR scale include Hooley et al. (1990), Cadogan
and Diamantopoulos (1995), Maltz and Kohli (1996), Selnes et al. (1996), Avlonitis and
Gounaris (1997), Cadogan et al. (1998), Pulendran et al (2000), Ellis (2006) etc.
Model Specification
The market orientation model consists of four major components, namely, the
antecedents, the market orientation construct, the environmental moderators, which affect the
MO-BP relationship, and the consequences.
Environmental Moderators
Several environmental factors are believed to moderate the relationship between
market orientation (MO) and business performance (BP). Jaworski and Kohli (1993)
conceptualized three environmental moderators that might mediate the market orientation-
business performance relationship. They include market turbulence, technological turbulence
and competitive intensity. Other moderators, which have been studied less commonly,
include supplier power, buyer power, market growth, demand uncertainty and extent of entry
barriers (Kirca et al, 2005). This study focuses on the three moderators, as proposed by
Jaworski and Kohli (1993) namely, market turbulence, technological turbulence and
competitive intensity. While market turbulence and competitive intensity are expected to
enhance the MO-BP relationship, technological turbulence is believed to diminish the same.
Business Performance
The fourth component of the market orientation model is the consequences or the overall
business performance. It has been established by extant literature that business performance
of a firm is improved by adopting market-oriented principles.
This is in line with the measures used by most market orientation studies. The market
orientation conceptual framework is as represented in the Fig.1.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Consistent with market orientation literature, a causal research approach is used,
which involves hypothesis testing of relationships and their quantification (Aaker et al 1998).
The research method employed the use of quantitative data analysis, which involved the
testing of hypotheses, identifying causality and replicability (Walker, 1985; Hart, 1987),
using survey method. The survey method was carried out using questionnaire as survey
instrument. Both mail survey and personal interview methods were used for gathering data.
The sampling frame consists of a list of 356 processing (freezing) plants included in the
Seafood Exporters’ Directory (2004), published by the Marine Products Export Development
Authority. The final sample size was 108 representing a total response rate of 30.34%. The
questionnaire included measures of the market orientation scale as prescribed by Jaworski &
Kohli (1993).
RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
Hypothesis I
The market orientation-business performance relationship is moderated by market
turbulence, technological turbulence and competitive intensity.
Hypothesis Testing using Stepwise Regression Analysis
This section includes the results of the major hypothesis. Hypothesis testing is done
by the multiple regression analysis, using the step-wise method. The stepwise regression
analysis is based on the variance of the variables. The probability for entry and removal of
the variables are specified and accordingly, the variables in the order of importance are
loaded onto the model. The probability value for entry into the model is 0.05 while the
probability for removal of the variable is 0.1. Stepwise procedures select the most correlated
independent first, remove the variance in the dependent, then select the second independent
which most correlates with the remaining variance in the dependent, and so on until selection
of an additional independent does not increase the R-squared by a significant amount (usually
significant = .05).

Hypothesis I
The market orientation-business performance relationship is moderated by market
turbulence, technological turbulence and competitive intensity.
It is hypothesized that Business performance increases when, technological turbulence
decreases, market turbulence increases and competitive intensity increases.
The regression equation for the above hypothesis is as follows:
Business Performance = α + ß1 × MARKOR + ß2 × MKTTURB + ß3 × TECHTURB + ß4
× COMPINT + ß5 × MARKOR * MKTTURB + ß6 × MARKOR * TECHTURB + ß7 ×
MARKOR * COMPINT + ei.
Where MARKOR*MKTTURB=the multiplicative interactive term of market turbulence,
MARKOR*TECHTURB=the multiplicative interactive term of technological turbulence and
MARKOR*COMPINT = the multiplicative interactive term of competitive intensity.
The results of the studies on the effect of the moderators on the relationship between
market orientation and business performance has been cited frequently in the market
orientation literature, mainly by Kohli and Jaworski (1990), Jaworski and Kohli (1993),
Narver and Slater (1990), Slater and Narver (1994), Greenley (1995), Selnes et al. (1996),
Pulendran, Speed and Widing (2000) etc. Jaworksi & Kohli (1993) found no effect of
moderators, while Slater and Narver (1994) reported limited effect of competitive
environment on the market orientation–business performance relationship. Greenley (1995)
in his study on the effect of market orientation on business performance in the form of new
product success found that market turbulence and technological turbulence had a negative
effect on the market orientation and business performance relationship. Pulendran, Speed and
Widing (2000) report that market turbulence plays a positive moderator role on the market
orientation-business performance relationship. The moderated regression analysis test as
recommended by Sharma, Durand and Gur-Arie (1981) was used to test for moderators in the
relationship between market orientation and business performance.
MODERATED REGRESSION ANALYSIS
The hypotheses are first tested with moderated regression analysis as proposed by
Sharma, Durand and Gur-Arie (1981). If the relationship is significant this suggests the
presence of a moderator effect, conversely the absence of a significant relationship leads to
the next step wherein it is determined whether the hypothesized moderator is related to either
the predictor or criterion variable.
According to the moderator regression analysis, Sharma, Durand and Gur-Arie (1981)
propose that the following three equations be considered for equality of regression
coefficients (Zedeck, 1971):
y = a + b1 x ---- (1)
y = a + b1 x + b2z ---- (2)
y = a + b1 x + b2z+ b3xz ---- (3)
They classify hypothesized moderators into three namely, pure moderators,
homologizers and quasi moderators. If equations (2) and (3) are not significantly different,
i.e., b3=0, b2≠0, then the variable z is not a moderator variable instead an independent
predictor variable. If z is a pure moderator variable, then b2=0, b3≠0, i.e. equations (1) and (2)
are significantly similar, but different from equation (3). Conversely it is a quasi moderator
81
5. International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 –
6510(Online), Volume 4, Issue 2, March- April (2013)
variable if b2≠0, b3≠0 i.e. if all the three equations are significantly different from each other.
Here it is seen that, in the case of market turbulence, b2≠0, b3=0. Therefore as Sharma et al
(1981) advocate, market turbulence is not a moderator variable instead is an independent
predictor variable. Therefore it should be treated as an independent predictor variable. Then
the competitive intensity variable is a pure moderator as the values for b2=0, b3≠0, pending
further analysis as per the framework proposed by Sharma et al (1981).
The framework proposed by Sharma et al (1981) for identifying moderator variables,
includes the following four steps:
1. Using the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) procedure to determine whether any
significant interaction exists between the hypothesized moderated variable, z, and the market
orientation variable. If a significant interaction exists, they suggest proceeding to Step 2, and
if not, proceeding to Step 3.
The stepwise regression results are given in the table below for the relationships between the
overall business performance, and the dependent variables of:
(a) Market orientation,
(b) The hypothesized moderators namely, competitive intensity, market turbulence and
technological turbulence, and
(c) The multiplicative interaction terms of market orientation and competitive intensity
(MARKOR*COMPINT), market orientation and market turbulence
(MARKOR*MKTTURB) and market orientation and technological turbulence (MARKOR*
TECHTURB).

It is noted that only two independent variables contribute significantly to the business
performance. One is market turbulence (ß=-.178, p=0.032) and the other is the multiplicative
interaction term of market orientation and competitive intensity (ß=0.533, p=0.00). Since a
significant interaction exists, the next procedure will be Step 2.
2. Determining if z, the hypothesized moderator (here, the multiplicative interaction
term of market orientation and competitive intensity) is related to the criterion variable
business performance. If it is, then z is a quasi moderator variable, and if not, then z is a pure
moderator.
This is verified by conducting a Pearson’s correlation test among the variables.

Competitive intensity shows significant relationship towards both market orientation and
business performance. Hence it is not a pure moderator; instead it is a quasi moderator.
Market turbulence shows no relationship to either market orientation or business
performance. Hence we next proceed to Step 3.
3. Determining if z is related to the criterion variable - business performance or the
predictor variable - market orientation, if yes, then z is not a moderator, instead an
exogenous, predictor, intervening, antecedent or a suppressor variable. If z is not related to
either variable then they recommend proceeding to Step 4.
Here, for those hypothesized moderators which did not yield significant results in terms of
their multiplicative interaction terms, namely market turbulence and technological
turbulence, it is determined whether they are related either to the criterion variable or the
predictor variable. It is noted from the correlation test that technological turbulence is related
to the predictor variable market orientation, while market turbulence is not related to either of
them. Thus according to Sharma et al (1981), it holds that technological turbulence is not a
moderator, while market turbulence needs to be checked to see if it is a homologizer.
4. This step involves splitting the total sample into subgroups on the basis of the
hypothesized moderator variable based on the median or similar type of split. Then a test of
significance is to be done for differences across the subgroups. If significant differences exist,
z is a homologizer, operating through the error term, if not, z is not a moderator and the
analysis concludes.
As described above, the subgroup analysis was conducted for testing presence of
homologizer by splitting the samples into two halves based on the median, running
correlation analysis and testing significance for differences between the correlation
coefficients for subgroups. The results for the subgroup analysis shows that there is no
difference between the two subgroups of market turbulence. Thus market turbulence is not a
homologizer.
Therefore, the only moderator variable mediating the relationship between market
orientation and business performance in the seafood industry is competitive intensity. It is
positively and significantly related to the market orientation-business performance
relationship (Nair, 2007).

CONCLUSIONS
Among the hypothesized moderators, it is noted that only competitive intensity is a
moderator. An increase in the competitive intensity in the seafood processing industry leads to a
stronger relationship between market orientation and business performance. Market turbulence
and technological turbulence have no impact on the relationship between market orientation and
business performance. More work needs to be done in the area of environmental moderators.
Addition of other factors like strategy type, firm size, etc to the existing moderators, may yield
interesting results.
