Is ‘Learning’ the Tipping Point for Innovation in Small Firms
Small firms choose to innovate even in a challenging environment. Unlike stylised facts, innovation by small and medium firms in South Asia is not just technology-based but is rather human resource oriented. Using microdata from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys, we find that learning, research and development, and formal training impact innovation the most. We use a mix of frequentist statistics and machine learning algorithms. Learning is the c…

Gender Diversity, Sustainable Development Goals and Human Resource Management Practices in Higher Education
Based on a systematic literature review, this article analyses the issue of gender diversity in higher education institutions (HEIs) and explores the role of strategic human resource management practices in its management. Results indicate that HEIs do not deal with gender diversity and challenges in achieving sustainable development goal-5 (SDG-5) proactively but manage them with compliance and some affirmative actions. The study finds that the …
Transition to sustainable development in the tanning industry
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while balancing the three dimensions of sustainability, are latent about the pathways to achieve it. The transition may involve trade‐offs between the different dimensions of sustainable development, like balancing the socio‐economic dimension with environmental limits. The paper attempts to demonstrate some of these channels for the leather value chain in India, which is a conspicuous source of precariou…
Resilience and adaptation strategies of ethnic migrants in the own-account work sector
This study examines the survival strategies adopted by Uphill Country Tamils during the colonial period to the post-repatriation period to escape exploitation and financial instability through own-account work. Additionally, it investigates the success stories of current Uphill Country Tamils engaged in own-account work and their strategies for combating unemployment. An insider-ethnographic approach was employed to gather data from plantation-co…
Employment, Technology and Value Chain
India’s leather industry is an interesting case for a value chain (VC) that has unorganised and organised firms. To understand VC’s upstream, we examine a recent database on unorganised enterprises in the leather industry. First, we assess the determinants of two outcomes: value added and surplus. Second, we gauge if technology impacts employment. We use a multi-database and multi-method approach. Our analysis is based on National Sample Survey’s…
Can India’s Higher Education Improve Through Better Management of Human Resources
This study investigates human resource management (HRM) practices in higher education institutions (HEIs) based on a comparative analysis of India and the US. Although higher education in India has grown over the decades, its quality, in general, has not kept up with global standards. On the other hand, many US universities have performed consistently well in international university rankings. Based on qualitative research collected from principa…
The Structure of Collaboration Networks
The main aim of this study is twofold: first, to examine the underlying structure of coauthorship in Indian economics; and second, to explore the link between the participation in scientific collaborations and academic visibility. We decipher the structure of co-authorship by presenting collaboration networks of scholars who published articles in six Indian economics journals during 1966-2005, which is split into four windows: 1966-75, 1976-85, 1…
Labour Market in Urban Agglomerations
The article explores salient features of the link between labour market and urban agglomeration, using National Sample Survey unit level data and field data. To capture the role of labour market in urban agglomeration, the authors present a case study of Peenya Industrial Estate of Bangalore, India considered to be the largest industrial estate in South Asia. An interesting pattern that emerges is that the odds in favour of participating in the f…
Does Social Network Matter in Knowledge Output
This paper examines two important aspects of knowledge output: the degree of concentration in knowledge output and the nature of social network, taking the Economic and Political Weekly (EPW), a known scholarly periodical in the social sciences, as a case. We analyse the author data, looking at the frequency distribution of authors against the number of papers published and the social network of authors during the period 1996–2005. While the degr…
