Published: October 2022

Abstract
Transactions of the business are nothing but the culture of an organization—including its common ideals, principles, practices, and people—it is something rather intangible that acts as a basis for enhancing company development and success, and many organizations are failing to behave. However, businesses such as NETFLIX have created an incentive to build a high-performance organizational community. The very last area addressed in this case is how NETFLIX successfully embraced the transition taking place in the globe. This involves the positive adoption and introduction of technical improvements, while at the same time meeting consumer needs and demands.
India’s Changing Banking Scenario

Published: October 2022

Abstract
For more than two decades public sector banks managed to stave off competition due mainly to the trust people had in them due to government backing. As the next generation comes in with different attitude, are they equipped to serve them? They need to reinvent to survive. For half a century since bank nationalization, public sector banks dominated the credit flow to the economy with more than four-fifths of the share. In 2019, the golden jubilee year, private lenders accounted for Rs 69 of every Rs 100 loan. The tables are turning. As the economy adjusts to the new reality like technology-driven financial services, a robust bankruptcy law, vanishing ‘phone banking’ and a plethora of competition from unknown quarters, the Goliaths of Indian finance face the formidable task of remaining relevant—and surviving momentous change.

The scam has been called as the failure of the banking system, auditing system, and loop holes in the policies. This is a perfect case to analyse the failure of such a system by the hands of few officials.

Abstract
As Covid-19 swept the world last year, and people struggled to cope with the impact on their lives, elsewhere a different story brewed. The semiconductor market saw a never before scenario leading to chaos, confusion, delays, losses to many, and profits for others. This was the world of semiconductor shortage. The small chip made its presence felt, when electronics became dearer, and your favourite car delivery was delayed. The situation became critical when chip prices rose, and businesses faced huge shortages, forcing all stakeholders to take notice. Surprisingly, though the Covid-19 saw surging demand for remote working, home entertainment, and online education products and services led to a run-on consumer electronics like smartphones, PCs, and TVs, one of the worst hit markets has been the automobile sector that is heavily reliant on the semiconductor manufacturers. Indian as well as the global automotive industry is losing money in the billions. Reason? Not enough semiconductors to go around satiating the demands of both automakers and the consumer-electronics industry. Automakers are digging in to overcome the global shortage.

It was known to have sunk to such a level that today the name Nirma is not known in many households and has disappeared from the shelves of detergent and washing soap selling shops.

Managing Investments through PE Funds
Authors: Palekar Srilatha , Pardhi Arun , Jindal Sunanda 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
There is a rat race happening between PE investors to catch on to equally fast pace of various start—ups and ventures in the service sector, attracting small but several investments opportunities with highly lucrative returns on valuations. Many promoters are also jumping in the que to make fast bucks by investing in their own business and turning out to be partners in VE funds and enjoying a double whammy both as promoters as also Investors. However, the real heat is felt by the employees and other vendors as major stakeholders whose careers and employment uncertainties are pushing them to kick up frequent job switches or labour unrests landing up in courtroom battles. This has also led to serious conflicts between PE fund Investors and the promoters getting stuck in deals resulting in disastrous losses and unending IR issues turning violent at times. This case study picks up a few such PE investors and promoters’ perils as also including corrupt practices by passing regulatory norms laid out on capital taxes and other compliance requirements and resulting in chaos and disbelief. While India appears to be one of the very attractive opportunities for PE investors, both domestic and international economic opportunities, the ground realities belie such understandings in view of major squabbles between the promoters and PE investors. This leads to the feeling of financial risks for the PE investors who hesitate for such investments.
Smugglers
Authors: Yin Cao 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter is about the experiences of three Chinese men who were involved in the smuggling between India and China during the Second World War. In telling the story, this chapter argues that the Chinese Nationalist government’s effort to obtain Chinese army officers’ privileges in India facilitated the smuggling. The rampant wartime India-China smuggling was in conflict with the Nationalist government’s ambition of presenting itself as a great power. The Nationalist government’s policy of facilitating smuggling in India was perceived by the British authorities as a Chinese conspiracy against India’s sovereignty. The misunderstanding between the Chinese and British authorities led to the end of the diaspora moment of the Chinese in India. Overall, this chapter provides a new perspective to make sense of the tensions between the Chinese, Indian, and British governments during the Second World War.
Deserters
Authors: Yin Cao 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
During the Second World War, thousands of Chinese soldiers were sent to India for training. Many of them, however, deserted from the army and made their livings across India. Chen Ching Lin was one of these deserters. Focusing on the trajectory of his journey in India from 1943 to 1946, this chapter not only unearths the little-known experience of the Chinese deserters in India but also explores how the Chinese nationalist government’s aim to discipline the overseas Chinese communities conflicted with the agenda of the British geopolitics. It further contends that modern Chinese and Indian history could be integrated into a single narrative framework from subaltern perspectives.
Conclusion
Authors: Yin Cao 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
This chapter explores how the independent Indian government inherited the concerns and anxieties of the British colonial regime with regard to possible Chinese interference and colonization. It points out that the colonial anxieties were deeply embedded in the mindset of Indian policymakers and misled them to overjudge the state-building projects initiated by the Chinese government (both the Nationalist and the Communist) in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
Late Medieval Christianity
Authors: Gordon Bruce 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Late-medieval Christianity in Western Europe was vibrant but contested. The fifteenth century proved an age of reform and growth, yet visions of reform clashed. At the highest level, the restored papacy wrestled for supremacy both with both conciliar opponents and with temporal rulers who desired to control ecclesiastical affairs. Universities proliferated but so did schools of theological thought that disagreed on significant doctrines. Heresies spread, their advocates calling for radical change. Laymen and women, increasingly affluent with the growth of mercantile wealth, sought greater access to the religious life, and spurred by the printing revolution, vernacular religious literature spread across Europe. Although united by its sacramental, clerical and hierarchical authority, the late-medieval church was intensely local, varying enormously in forms of worship and devotion. Itinerant preachers fired popular piety, encouraging the people to visit shrines, embark on pilgrimages, venerate saints and relics, and receive the body and blood of Christ. Parish churches became filled with the devotional gifts of the faithful interceding for their beloved in purgatory and preparing for their own deaths. Mary was revered as the mother of mercy and the suffering body of her son, in visual representations, sermons, and devotional works across Europe, reminded women and men of God’s intimate presence in their lives. Humanism, with its recovery of antiquity and the original sources of Christianity, served as the driving force of intellectual and spiritual change.
The Radical Reformation
Authors: Gregory Brad S. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Radical Reformation refers to all forms of Protestantism in the Reformation era whose protagonists rejected both the Roman Catholic Church and the magisterial Protestant churches. Although radical Protestants were small in number, there were many more radical Protestant groups than magisterial Protestant traditions. Especially after the German Peasants’ War (1524-26) and the Anabaptist Kingdom of Münster (1534-35), magisterial Protestant and Catholic authorities alike feared and suppressed many radical Protestant groups. The reintegration of Anabaptists, politically revolutionary Protestants, spiritualists, and rationalists from the early German Reformation of the 1520s through the resurgence of radical Protestantism in the English Revolution of the 1640s-50s yields a different and more accurate view of the Reformation as a whole. The uncoupling of political control from Lutheran or Reformed confessional orthodoxy starting in the seventeenth century and expanding in the modern era allowed the true essence of the Reformation itself to become clear—in the open-ended pluralism that marked the Radical Reformation and that stemmed directly from Luther’s principle of sola scriptura itself.
Reasons and Fit
Authors: Cullity Garrett 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
According to the ‘fitting response’ tradition of thinking about value, good things are fit objects of favour-responses and bad things of disfavour-responses. What is the relationship between the relation of fit, so understood, and the normative reason relation? A widespread view treats normative reasons as primitive, and explains fit responses as those for which there is sufficient reason of the ‘right kind’. This chapter adds to recent efforts to develop a fitness-priority view with the opposite explanatory direction. Its proposal, in outline, is that a normative reason for an action, thought, or feeling is a consideration that is fit to determine what one will do, think, or feel. When this proposal is carefully developed, it provides appealing explanations of the different sources of our normative reasons, of how reasons have a directiveness that value-facts need not have, and of what our responsiveness to reasons consists in.
Conspiration in the Archive
Authors: Noorani Tehseen 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The Voices in Psychosis transcripts weave together biographies with experiences of voice-hearing in ways that are not easily understood through phenomenological reduction or formulation approaches. This chapter offers an alternative approach, beginning with the observation that interviewers and interviewees conspire together—that is, find ways to work together and to breathe together. Conspiring allows interviewees to make sense of their experiences, interviewers to produce data, and both to generate narrative across any inconsistencies and gaps. The focus on conspiring troubles claims to transparency and continuity in how we read the transcripts, reveals the difficulty of distinguishing ‘research study’ from ‘therapeutic intervention’, and gestures towards what gets foregrounded and what gets backgrounded as conversations unfold.
The Phenomenology of Voice-Hearing and Two Concepts of Voice
Authors: Wilkinson Sam , Krueger Joel 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The experiences described in the Voices in Psychosis transcripts are incredibly varied and yet frequently explicitly labelled by participants as ‘voices’. How can we make sense of this? If we reflect carefully on uses of the word ‘voice’, we see that it can express at least two entirely different concepts, which pick out categorically different phenomena. One concept picks out a speech sound (e.g. ‘This synthesizer has a “voice” setting’). Another concept picks out a specific agent (e.g. ‘I hear two voices: one is a ten-year-old boy . . .’). This chapter explores how these two concepts are related to each other in the context of voice-hearing.
