Agriculture and allied sectors are the mainstays of the Indian rural population and yet, the vast majority is still poor. The Indian government has introduced pro-farmer schemes and policies for their quality of life, but the improvement rate of their quality of life is still relatively slow. In this context, this paper presents a sustainable agricultural business model (SABM), which defines contexts, practices, and outcomes. This SABM is compared with the conventional agricultural business model (CABM). Innovative farmers were selected from different parts of India. Their practices are examined with key performance indicators (KPIs) regarding strategic focus, labor productivity, vital resources usage, soil maintenance, output quality, and revenue performance. Case study results suggest that farmers that adopt SABM are innovative and productive with a better quality of life. In contrast, those who follow CABM are characterized by relatively low productivity and continuous hardships. Lessons and implications, along with future study topics, are discussed.

Tweets seem to impact diverse assets, especially during stressful periods. However, their interrelations during stressful events may change. Cryptos are apparently more sensitive to the sentiment spread by tweets. Therefore, a construct could be formed to study such complex interrelation during stressful events. This study found an interesting outcome while investigating three major asset classes (namely, Equity, Gold and Bond) alongside negative sentiment (derived from tweets of Elon Musk) and Dogecoin (an emerging asset class) from 1 June 2015 to 20 February 2022. Negative sentiment emerged as the significant risk transmitter, while Gold emerged as the significant net recipient of shocks (risk). Interestingly, Dogecoin was found to be less impacted and not impactful (not transmitting shock and receiving tiny shocks) at the same time. In fact, the interconnectedness between negative sentiment (percolated through Twitter) and Dogecoin prices was found to be rather feeble. Further, the study showed that the COVID-19 breakout and Brexit referendum in 2016 were less stressful events compared to the Greek debt crisis back in 2015.

The study attempts to draw the link between different styles of leadership adopted by managers in an organization and the motivation for work among employees. Researchers identified five types of leadership styles and argues their relative impact on strengthening or decreasing spirit and inspiration among the work force. The researcher also seeks to comprehend the meaning of both motivation and leadership aspect in the corporates and the links that can be formed between the same. The paper is a theoretical review of various relevant studies on the subject and draws inferences about the impact and consequences of leadership styles. Researchers find that leadership and motivation have a highly interactive relationship, and different leadership styles affect motivation among employees differently. The transactional leadership style gives employees tangible motivation to be committed to their work, while the visionary leadership style coupled with autocratic leadership fosters inspiration and motivation towards work.

Using musical logos (MLs; jingles) for brand promotion is a time-tested marketing strategy to develop brand recognition and aid memorability among consumers. The researchers adopted an experimental approach to measure the impact of MLs on brand equity (BE) for the Fast Moving Consumable Goods (FMCG) companies. The study is based on empirical evidence collected through an online survey featuring audio media circulated through referrals among ( n = 632) end consumers of 25 popular brands of FMCG companies in India. Correlation and regression analysis were used to measure the cause-and-effect relationship between MLs and BE by developing brand awareness (BAW) and creating favourable brand associations (BASs). The results of the study reflect that consumers showed high BAW and positive associations regarding FMCG brands, which employed MLs in their promotions. It can be stated that there exists a positive relationship between the use of MLs and generation of BE. The study offers further suggestions to effectively utilize the potential of MLs in business.
