It also has a second campus on a 20-acre site at Noida exclusively for one year full-time MBA program (IPMX), Two-year PGP for working executive and executive education. The admission for the two-year PGP and fellowship programmes is done through Common Admission Test (CAT), while GMAT score is used for International Programme in Management for Executives, a one-year full-time residential programme equivalent to an MBA program, while admission to the Two-year PGP for working executive program is done based on GMAT score or a competitive written examination conducted by IIM Lucknow. The shortlisted candidates based on GMAT or the written examination go through the Writing Ability Test and Personal Interview (WAT & PI) to get final selection. The programs are accredited by the global accreditation body AMBA and AACSB. The institute has tie-ups with 24 leading B-schools across the world for student exchange. A number of b-competitions, cultural and sports events are organised by various clubs, academic interest groups and committees throughout the year..
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate how work engagement mediates the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee creativity and to examine how organizational justice moderates this relationship between workplace spirituality on work engagement. The study further investigates whether organizational justice moderates the indirect effect of workplace spirituality on employee creativity through work engagement.Design/methodology/approachThis research used a hypothesized model that was examined among 426 people employed in the information technology (IT) industry in India. A moderated mediation analysis was applied to explore and delineate the proposed relationships among variables.FindingsThe findings indicate that work engagement mediates the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee creativity. In addition, the study demonstrates that organizational justice moderates the effect of workplace spirituality on work engagement. The findings also validate the moderating effect of organizational justice on the indirect impact of workplace spirituality on creativity through work engagement.Originality/valueTo date, no previous study has evaluated the impact of organizational justice moderated mediation of workplace spirituality on employee creativity through work engagement among Indian IT employees.
End-of-life vehicles (ELVs) are an increasingly important waste and resource stream within industrial systems, linking material recovery, environmental risk, circular economy strategies, and institutional design. This paper presents a systematic review of the global literature on ELV management published between 2010 and 2024. Using the PRISMA framework, 2,152 publications were screened, and 153 studies were selected for detailed review, representing 32 countries across 6 regions. The review addresses a gap in the literature by comparatively examining ELV management research across developed and developing countries within a single analytical framework. The selected studies are organised into seven major themes: policy and governance, reverse logistics, informal sector and consumer behaviour, recycling technology and design, economics and market dynamics, environmental assessment and circular economy, and forecasting and modelling. The review shows a pronounced divide between developed and developing economies. In developed countries, ELV systems are typically supported by established regulatory frameworks, formal recovery infrastructure, and analytical approaches such as life cycle assessment, material flow analysis, and network optimization. In developing countries, ELV management is more often shaped by institutional fragmentation, infrastructure gaps, and the central role of informal recovery markets. Across the literature, a broader shift is evident from descriptive analyses toward integrated and sustainability-oriented approaches that address environmental, economic, and social dimensions simultaneously. The paper concludes that more context-specific strategies, stronger institutional support, improved economic incentives, and greater cross-country learning are needed to support more inclusive and circular ELV management systems.
PurposeEmployees' bootlegging significantly contributes to corporate innovation. By relying on the conservation of resources theory, this study aims to explore the impact mechanism of workplace bullying on bootlegging, with relational energy as a mediator and symmetrical internal communication as the moderator.Design/methodology/approachTo conduct this research, the authors used a mixed-method approach. Study 1 was an experimental scenario-based study, in which 210 participants participated, whereas Study 2 was a survey-based study in which 313 employees working in IT-enabled companies were surveyed in three waves. Furthermore, SPSS PROCESS (Models 4 and 7) was used to test the hypotheses related to mediation and moderated mediation.FindingsThe findings of this research first revealed that workplace bullying negatively affects bootlegging. Second, relational energy partially mediates the relationship between workplace bullying and bootlegging. Finally, symmetrical internal communication weakens the indirect, negative relationship between workplace bullying and bootlegging through relational energy.Originality/valuePrevious studies had majorly focused on positive aspects of organizational behavior (e.g. leader humor, leader humility, trustworthiness, organizational support) that contribute to bootlegging. By focusing on workplace bullying, this study contributes to the initial academic endeavors that focus on analyzing the impacts of dark aspects of organizations that can affect bootlegging. Furthermore, till now it is only the second study that has used an experimental approach to examine employee bootlegging conduct.
As online education becomes prevalent and mainstream, understanding the adoption of online resources becomes more crucial from a sociotechnical viewpoint. The purpose of this study is to explore a new approach to determining the factors that influence the adoption of online learning resources and to test the model on two distinct cultures: the US and India. The unique approach used here underscores that human values serve as guiding principles in people's lives and can thus impact online learning resource adoption decisions. The study's design and methodology integrate Schwartz's Value Theory with the traditional Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Guided by the Schwartz framework of human values, we postulate that two of these human values, Openness to Change (OPEN) and Self-enhancement (SE), can influence the adoption of online learning resources. Using e-books as a representative of online learning resources, we employed the value-extended UTAUT model to investigate the influential factors. Results show that the impact of OPEN, along with all the UTAUT constructs, has a significant influence on the outcome in the two cultures. The integration of these two models to explain e-book adoption is a major contribution to digital transformation in online education decisions and research.
Nanorobots are microscopic robots that operate at the molecular and cellular level and can potentially revolutionize fields such as medicine, manufacturing, and environmental monitoring due to their precision. However, the challenge for researchers is to analyze the data and provide a constructive recommendation framework instantly, as most nanorobots demand on-time and near-edge processing. To tackle this challenge, this research presents a novel edge-enabled intelligent data analytics framework called Transfer Learning Population Neural Network (TLPNN) to predict glucose levels and associated symptoms from invasive and non-invasive wearable devices. The TLPNN is designed to be unbiased in predicting symptoms during the initial phase but later modified based on the best-performing neural networks during the learning phase. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated using two publicly available glucose datasets with various performance metrics. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed TLPNN method over existing ones.
