Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify and analyze various critical success factors (CSFs) that can facilitate smartphone manufacturing in India. This paper further aims to understand the mutual interactions among these CSFs through identification of the hierarchical relationships among them. Design/methodology/approach – A framework for a smartphone manufacturing system has been developed, wherein the hierarchical inter-relationships between identified CSFs have been presented and interpreted using total interpretive structural modeling (TISM). Cross-impact matrix multiplication applied to classification analysis has been further employed to identify the driving power as well as dependence power of these CSFs. Findings – In the present research, 15 CSFs have been identified through literature review and expert opinions. The hierarchical framework developed using TISM has revealed the inter-dependencies among these CSFs. This research further categorizes CSFs into three clusters. The first cluster comprises of CSFs having high dependence power, the second cluster identifies CSFs having high driving power and the third cluster identifies CSFs which act as linkages between the driver CSFs and dependent CSFs. Research limitations/implications – This study has implications for both practitioners and academia. It provides a comprehensive list of CSFs that are relevant to develop a smartphone ecosystem in India. In addition, this study will help decision makers to strategically focus on the main drivers of the ecosystem that requires the immediate attention of decision makers. The methodology employed in this study provides a mechanism to conduct an exploratory study by identifying the factors and analyzing their interactions through the development of a hierarchical framework. Originality/value – The proposed framework developed through qualitative modeling is an effort to understand relevant factors that can promote the smartphone manufacturing ecosystem. This study makes a significant contribution in the literature of smartphone manufacturing, which captures the perspective of different stakeholders. © 2016, Emerald Group Publishing Limited.

A TISM modeling of critical success factors of smartphone manufacturing ecosystem in India

Industrialization across major economies of the world has led to various economic, social, and environmental opportunities as well as challenges. Thus, the need to monitor and control economic activities keeping sustainability of system as the long-term goal has evolved. During the last few decades, the policy makers have developed many guidelines or standards and measurement frameworks to promote the concepts of sustainability across various industrial domains. Among them, ISO 14000 certification is the most commonly adopted Environment Management System (EMS) by business enterprises around the world. However, as literature suggests, the process of ISO certification is entirely voluntary and non-governmental, this study has been designed to empirically test the influence of ISO certification on sustainability performance of leading states of the Indian leather industry. The findings reveal that, except economic sustainability, Uttar Pradesh (UP) has performed the best among the selected states, which could be attributed to its higher proportion of ISO certified leather firms. However, it was found, using firm-wise unit data analysis, that there is insignificant difference in performance between certified and not certified firms in all the selected states. The field study supports this anomaly with the reason that firms acquire the certification under the pressure of overseas customers to meet the requirement of environmental compliance on paper only. Thus, though the Govt. of India has taken correct step by subsidizing 75% expense of certification for MSMEs, it failed to monitor its effectiveness among the leather processing firms. © 2016, Council for Social and Economic Studies.

Due to improvement in imaging technology and therefore the ease with that digital content is reproduced and manipulated there's a robust want for a digital copiright mechanism to be placed in situ. There's a necessity for authentication of the content in addition, because the owner. It's become easier for malicious parties to form ascendible copies of proprietary content with any compensation to the content owner. Digital Watermarking is being seen as a possible resolution to the present drawback. To date many various watermarking schemes are projected. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of these techniques that are developed and their effectiveness. © 2016 IEEE.

This paper proposes, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models and algorithms to reduce inputs and increase outputs for an inefficient Decision Making Unit (DMU) in a network DEA. Inputs and outputs considered for change are under constant sum constraint. In a network, DMU composed of multiple divisions, it is possible that changes in inputs and outputs of one division may affect the efficiency of other divisions. At the same time, it is also possible to change the efficiency of a division without changing the efficiency of the entire network. Models to reallocate inputs/outputs under constant sum constraint need to take these possibilities into account. The reallocation of inputs or outputs is done without reducing the network DEA efficiency of the other DMUs. Models and algorithms have been developed to transfer intermediate products from one DMU to another under constant sum constraint. These models and algorithms will help the decision maker to allocate resources more effectively among various divisions in order to improve the efficiency of the system consisting of these interrelated divisions. Theoretical results have been illustrated with the help of a numerical example. © 2015 IEEE.

In this exploratory study, we analyze co-authorship networks of collaborative cancer research in India. The complete network is constructed from bibliometric data on published scholarly articles indexed in two well-known electronic databases covering two 6-year windows from 2000 to 2005 and 2006 to 2011 inclusive. Employing a number of important metrics pertaining to the underlying topological structures of the network, we discusses implications for effective policies to enhance knowledge generation and sharing in cancer research in the country. With some modifications, our methods can be applied without difficulty to examine policy structure of related disciplines in other countries of the world. © Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary 2014

This exploratory work sheds light on important functional information characteristics of the system of research collaboration by examining large-scale topological structures of co-authorship networks, created through the affiliative ties of scholarly articles published by collaborating researchers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings. The model adopted in this work to understand the underlying collaboration system incorporates the strengths of collaborative coupling among the researchers. The questions we examine in this work are as follows: (1) What new functional characteristics emerge when combined structural effects of collaborative coupling and large-scale connectivity exist in the networks? (2) What information does a specific closeness distribution of collaborating researchers convey with regard to the flow of knowledge through collaborative activities? (3) What is the temporal dynamics of large-scale structure formation in these networks? The work involves a comparative study of these characteristics using the networks of two countries: India and the US. Our results have important implications for scientometric studies of collaboration research. © 2014, Akadémiai Kiadó, Budapest, Hungary.

Functional information characteristics of large-scale research collaboration: network measures and implications

Structural cohesion, hierarchy, holes, and percolating clusters share a complementary existence in many social networks. Although the individual influences of these attributes on the structure and function of a network have been analyzed in detail, a more accurate picture emerges in proper perspective and context only when research methods are employed to integrate their collective impacts on the network. In a major research project, we have undertaken this examination. This paper presents an extract from this project, using a global network assessment of these characteristics. We apply our methods to analyze the collaboration networks of a subset of researchers in India through their coauthored papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings in management science, including related areas of information technology and economics. We find the Indian networks to be currently suffering from a high degree of fragmentation, which severely restricts researchers' long-rage connectivities in the networks. Comparisons are made with networks of a similar sample of researchers working in the United States. © 2014 ASIS&T.
