8 steps to innovation: going from jugaad to excellence 8 steps to Innovation; going from jugaad to excellence
Rishikesha T Krishnan and Vinay Dabholkar
A guide to systematic, as opposed to incidental, ad-hoc innovation Innovation need not only be jugaad. For the first time a book shows us how in India, innovation can be introduced in one's organization in a systematic, deliberate way. 8 Steps to Innovation explains how you can do this by building an idea pipeline in your organization, improving the velocity of ideas coming in, and implementing the ideas within the given constraints. All this is shown through nice, snappy examples, mostly homegrown Indian ones. Few books in the market talk about innovation in the Indian context with Indian examples as this one does.

Towards a perspective on flow of credit to small and marginal farmers in India, 1st edition
Samar K Datta and M S Sriram
India continues to be a predominantly agricultural economy with agriculture’s contribution of about a quarter to the GDP and about two-third in terms of employment of the rural population. Moreover, robust agricultural growth since 1970s has contributed significantly toward attainment of the goals of food security maintenance of a fairly low level of commodity prices, meeting the growing demand for food and agricultural ingredients (including cheap labor) for expanding industrial and services sectors, and both direct and indirect foreign exchange earnings. When Indian agriculture is rapidly undergoing transformation from a subsistence occupation to a commercial proposition with increasing dependence on purchased material inputs, assets, services and infrastructure, on the one hand, and on highly demanding distant markets, on the other, the need for timely and adequate credit assumes special significance

Options, futures and other derivatives, 8th edition
John C Hull and Sankarshan Basu
The eight edition of Options, Futures and Other Derivatives (with CD) is packed with revised and updated information on the derivatives market. The book offers a crisp introduction to options markets and futures. Since the study of derivatives requires plenty of mathematics and because all the readers might not have a solid mathematical background, the authors have tried to strike a balance between essential and non-essential mathematics and present many numerical problems for better and thorough understanding. The book is tailored for beginners and no prior knowledge of options markets and futures is required. The seventh edition of the book is new and improved and contains a variety of newly introduced topics. For instance, it discusses many issues pertaining to the Indian market. Other topics covered include credit derivatives, swaps, Greek letters, binomial trees, volatility smiles, and interest rate futures. The CD that comes with this edition is an added bonus and lets the users create useful applications in a few simple steps. The numerical examples and practice questions help in easily understanding the concepts that have been explained. The minimal text in the book offers extensive knowledge and information in the form of theory. The book also features real-life accounts and sound logical reasoning.

Case studies in marketing management, 1st edition
S Ramesh Kumar
Emerging markets have generated tremendous interest among practitioners as well as academics throughout the world. The Indian context-with its diversity of cultures, luxury markets, huge population of consumers at the lower strata of economy, a youth population that is greater than most countries in the world and the impact of westernization-poses certain marketing challenges that are even more complex than those that are generally associated with emerging markets in general. Students of management are expected to be well aware of the unique challenges of these markets when they go through any management program. Case Studies in Marketing Management provides a rich set of cases that are structured to be compatible with any textbook in the basic marketing course. Several cases are drawn from the renowned Ivey Business Case collection in discussion with Prof. Paul Beamish, based on his intricate understanding of the emerging markets and the editor's rich academic experience with regard to the Indian context. The cases were selected specifically to blend theory with practice, with a difficulty level that encourages effective comprehension of the issues involved. The Indian cases added to the collection illustrate the finer aspects that a management student needs to be aware of while dealing with the Indian context. Indian business schools have suffered a dearth of Indian cases, especially ones that offer consumer insights that challenge students. This book fills this lacuna with a number of real-life cases on the Indian context, allowing students to appreciate and compare the different challenges that marketers face the emerging Indian scenario.
