  • The status and functioning of Indian universities is explored in the Indian context from an NSI perspective. Whilst NSI is the main guiding post, the very social and economic context of Indian situation reflect the theoretical underpinning of this paper. The First part serves as a background to knowledge institutions and university sector in India. Basically, it identifies the main actors and agencies of India's NSI, namely, public research system comprising national laboratories, main science and technology agencies and councils and the university system. Given the focus of the paper on Indian universities in a macro historical perspective, the Second part is devoted to trace the growth and structure of university sector in terms of three phases, namely, 1940s to 1980; 1980 to 1990; and the era of liberalization after 1991. The Third part of the paper is devoted to knowledge production and knowledge diffusion. There are some important findings coming out of the quantitative data. It is argued that Indian production of doctorates is falling behind countries like China. Further, Indian universities are yet to achieve Humboltian goal. Finally, the paper has a concluding section which concerns with the current and future challenges facing Indian universities and their role in India's NIS.

  • A number of organizations have had big interests in studies concerning leadership and in academic areas, in not only management but also psychology. Until now, leadership has been accentuated by managers or team leaders especially. Recently, however, the concept of self-leadership directing one's own activities through self-control or self-management is being focused on in practices and in academia. This study is to investigate the influence between self-leadership strategies and learning performance in IT classes mediated by attitude of attendance focused on the social science students in two universities (Korea (121 samples) and India (106 samples)). And this research tried to compare difference between two university students. Research results can give us direction of task-taking attitudes in firms or learning attitudes in teaching organizations and implications to human resource managers who are in charge of improving learning performance or productivity.

  • Entrepreneurial ecosystem is a very active area of research both conceptually and empirically, yet most literature that emerged over the last two decades predominantly pertain to developed economies. At the same time, transitioning and emerging economies have continued to grow rapidly, making a strong case to study entrepreneurial ecosystems in emerging economies (Bruton et al., 2018). Ecosystems are broad constructs and the constitutive elements of an ecosystem are themselves complex (Stam, 2015). Hence exploring key elements of the ecosystem in depth to understand the mechanisms of how entrepreneurship is supported through intermediary organizations like incubators is a fruitful exercise. In this context, we review the book "Technology Business Incubators in India Structure, Role and Performance" which is a timely synthesis for academic researchers and practitioners, looking to explore the topic as it pertains to emerging economies. The book is part of the De Gruyter Studies in Knowledge Management and Entrepreneurial Ecosystems series, that covers pertinent ecosystems issues around universities, and sustainability by leading authors.

  • The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the world, inflicting nationwide lockdowns interrupting conventional schooling through schools, colleges and universities. Educational institutions are struggling to maintain learning continuity through remote learning solutions. Still, the students' perception of this 'new normal' mode and pace of learning needs to be examined to ensure the success of these efforts. This study aimed at examining the perception of higher education students in India and Croatia especially with respect to the association between cultural orientation and the e-learning. The period considered for the data collection was from March 2020 to September 2020. Correspondence analysis was attempted to create spatial maps to depict the respondent choices. Students from both the regions agreed to the high-power distance that existed in their cultures and considered the role of device and content to be an important dimension of e-learning for it to be effective, but the results also pointed out some differences in their choices on other culture dimensions as well as factors affecting e-learning which make this study unique and suggest in-depth future research for conclusive results.

  • 최근 셀프리더십과 관련된 연구들은 주로 경영학, 심리학, 상담학 등의 다양한 분야에서 많은 관심을 보이는 연구 분야다. 오랜 기간 동안 리더십은 조직 내 경영진이나 팀리더 등의 조직책임자들에게 강조되는 개념이었다. 그러나 최근에는 개인의 자유의지를 스스로 통제 혹은 관리하여 자신의 행동을 바람직한 방향으로 이끌고자 하는 셀프리더십(self-leadership)관련 연구에 학계, 산업계의 관심이 모아지고 있다. 본 연구는 정보기술(information technology) 및 엔지니어링 과목을 수강한 학부재학생들의 셀프리더십 전략(독립변수)이 수강태도에 영향을 미치는지 수강태도가 매개변인의 역할을 하여 학업성과(종속변수)에 어떤 영향을 미치는 지를 연구하였다. 한국(116명)과 인도학생(36명)을 대상으로 국가간 차이를 비교 연구하였다. 분석결과 한국학생들의 경우 건설적 사고유형의 학생일수록 자기노력을 많이 하며, 결과적으로 학업성과에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 인도학생들의 경우는 행위중심유형의 학생일수록 학업성과가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연구 결과는 조직 구성원 혹은 학생들의 셀프리더십을 고양함으로써 과업에 임하는 태도나 수업에 임하는 바람직한 태도를 제시하여 학업성과를 촉진할 수 있는 방안수립에 시사점을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 나아가 글로벌 환경의 기업 생산성 제고를 위한 셀프리더십 프로그램 마련에 도움을 줄 것이다.
