Srivastava, "Managerial implications from Indian case studies on e-reverse auctions", Business Process Management Journal, 18(3),2012:pp.513-531 Purpose : The purpose of this paper is to investigate e-reverse auctions (era) implementation experiences across a diverse group of firms and sectors in the Indian context, to derive useful insights for theory and practice. Design/methodology/approach : The paper takes the form of a qualitative multiple case study following direct observation of object reality. The data analysed include written documentation, archival records, physical artifacts and unstructured interviews with key era personnel. Findings: era work best in a competitive, high capacity marketplace and are the dominant strategy when the focus is on low search cost per supplier, when the percent reduction over time in the price offered by the current supplier is low and when the product is standardized. The optimum number of bidders is five to ten. Most of the findings are in line with literature but some of them differ too. These will add to academic discourse. Research limitations/implications : The small sample size and case method approach limits the ability to generalize the findings. The firms were selected as a convenience sample and so may not be truly cross-sectional.only analytical generalisation is claimed rather than any statistical generalisation. Practical implications: era improve effectiveness of the sourcing process and facilitate access to new suppliers. They also lead to standardization of sourcing procedures, reduced order cycle, reduced prices and generally higher service levels. This paper will help firms in India and other countries to develop policies, strategies and procedures while implementing era. Originality/value : The paper is perhaps the first on era practices in India. The author describes the practices in detail and based on this develops a framework for era process and provides detailed and concise guidelines for managers.> Keywords: Auctions, Case studies, Electronic commerce, Electronic reverse auctions, India, Managerial guidelines, Marketing strategy, Process management, Threestage framework
Page 5 Conference/Seminar Publications Tripathy, Arun Kumar & George, Rejie, Impact of Ownership Structure on Choice of Expansion Mode, paper presented at Annual International Conference of the Strategic Management Society (SMS)held at Prague during 6th to 9th October 2012. This study examines the impact of ownership structure on the firm's choice of its expansion mode. The expansion modes provide different options to firms and help them to build different capabilities. Prior studies have not considered the impact of ownership structure on the choice of expansion modes. Multinomial logistic regression (MLR) model have been used to test 1830 expansion mode decisions (in the period 2000 2007) announced by 996 firms. Empirical evidence shows strong relationship between ownership structure and the choice of expansion mode. Results show that acquisition mode of expansion is preferred by foreign owners and firms belonging to business groups. This study highlights the importance of ownership structure and brings out the need to consider this variable in future studies of expansion modes. Prof. M.
