- PublicationEvolution of Coastal zone health Index (CHI) as a metric to evaluate ICZM implementation efficiency(01-12-2007)
;Kumar, P. P.Anil; Though it is well established that coastal zones are development sensitive with its variety of resources and multiple stakeholder presence, (Clark.J.R. 1997) there is no holistic metric to measure this sensitivity. This paper encapsulates the outcome of a doctoral level work to evolve a set of indicators named Coastal zone Health Indicators (CHIs) as metric for this purpose. CHI looks upon a coast as composed of its 6 core component environments and coastal zone health is holistically reflected by the value of critical parameters pertaining to specific component environments. CHIs are developed based on an extensive nation wide experts' survey conducted across major coastal cities in India. Though the study is confined to experts chosen from Coastal cities of India, the generic framework it evolves is globally valid. Analytical Hierarchical Processing (AHP) based weightages of parameters as extracted from the expert survey are used in these models. The paper covers the conceptual basis and methodology of developing CHI. With a CHI map in place for a coastal city, constantly monitoring and evaluating CHI variations against set goals provide valuable feedback on the implementation efficiency of ICZM process. It also helps in analysing future landuse allocations for their impacts on the CHI profile. This practice ensures landuse planning to be a meaningful exercise always tested for synergy with ICZM measures and thus ensuring sustainability in the long run. - PublicationDynamics of firm-level technological capabilities in an LDC-a conceptual model(01-01-1997)
;Mohan Babu, G. N.Specific studies are needed on firm-level technological capabilities (FTC) in less-developed countries (LDCs). Unlike macro-level issues related to FTC, which have received considerable research attention, micro-level issues are yet to receive the attention they deserve. This paper proposes a micro-level conceptual model for understanding the dynamics of FTC in the Indian capital goods sector. The model leads to several hypotheses about the nature of inter-relationships between FTC and the relevant firm-level factors. - PublicationAn integrated conceptual model of relationships among different types of innovations(01-01-1997)
;Mohan Babu, G. N.The relationships among different types of innovations in an organization seem to have received very little attention from researchers. This paper presents a conceptual model that integrates earlier research on different types of innovations and hypothesizes several relationships among them over the life cycle of a technology. An understanding of these relationships over the life cycle of a technology would help firms to prepare for changes and plan and allocate scarce resources effectively. - PublicationAn entropy based approach to 5S maturity(01-01-2021)
;Ranjith Kumar, Rajan; Research literature points to 5S, a simple yet powerful method of initiating quality in workspaces, as one of the foundations of other quality practices such as Lean and TPM. This paper presents the multi-dimensional challenges in 5S implementation, the need for a quantitative measure of 5S realization, a justification for and a suggestion of a 5S maturity model. The paper presents the conceptual foundations of entropy to measure disorder in an enclosed space, which provides the basis for measuring 5S practice maturity. The paper contributes to the existing body of knowledge by proposing a novel method founded on the concept of entropy to map the maturity of 5S implementation.
