The study proposed a construct for a green supply chain, which aims to analyze the different elements that contribute to a network being considered “green.” The study found that there are many types of research done on green products, but very few on green corporations and supply chains. Also, there is a lack of consensus in definitions and previous studies have not examined the inter-relations among the variables that contribute to a supply chain being considered green. The review of the literature reveals the range of factors, from the procurement of raw materials to end customer perceptions which make the supply chain green. In a simple random sampling, 125 responses were collected from Karnataka to explore the interrelations between the factors. The analysis evaluates whether the underlying structure of a green supply chain is uni-dimensional or multi-dimensional. Whether the factors have a hierarchical relationship and are factors independent or correlated, the analysis found that there are four correlated factors without any higher order.

My Foot was a boutique organization dealing with customized leather products and accessories. The CEO Manmath Shetty considered design, innovation, research & development and hand crafted products – keeping the basics as Indian originals- as core competency of his organization. He was keen to grow his business without losing focus on customization, the hallmark of his success. He intended to explore the possibilities of entering into adjacent spaces (product and customer) by replicating the existing business model. The option of moving from customized to volume customized products for a global market was also a tempting possibility to be explored.

V.S. Pai and Chetan V. Hiremath

Solar Electric Lighting Company (SELCO) was established in 1995 to serve the energy needs of people living at the base of the pyramid in Karnataka, India. The CEO, Dr Satish Hande, focused on developing need-based customized solar energy products for off-grid customers. During the initial years, the company faced financial problems to meet its operational needs, which was eventually overcome. Solar Electric Lighting Company came up with several innovative products that increased productivity of customers. Though the products sold were priced low, care was taken to ensure that product quality was not compromised. The company subsequently faced several challenges. The appointment of dealers in lieu of its own branches did not deliver desired results. Increase in input costs landed SELCO in losses. Pressure from investors for profits when the company was facing financial crisis was the toughest of them all. Having overcome the obstacles, SELCO became profitable, expanded operations in six states of India and installed 200,000 solar lighting systems in a period of two decades. Several growth options presented themselves to Dr Hande. The most prominent being the need to make a choice of staying focused on customized products for the poor or cater to the upmarket, high-growth and profitable segment.

The universal goal of competitive retail business is to gain loyal customers. As the number of stores in the same market area is increasing, each store competes to attract customers to its outlets. The present study makes an attempt to identify factors which can correctly categorize loyal and disloyal customers of the store and to derive a statistical equation which can predict the loyal and disloyal customers of the store. Furthermore, the study identifies decisive factors which need attention to convert disloyal customers into loyal customers. The results indicate that selected factors (merchandize, frequency of sales promotion, ambience, proximity, price, quality of sales staff, and service) have the capability of predicting group membership, that is, loyal or disloyal. Furthermore, the analysis revealed that there is a significant difference in perception of the two groups about all the selected factors except merchandize quality. In addition, the statistical model arrived in the research paper is able to classify customers correctly to the extent of 81.6%. Among the decisive factors, price factor needs top most attention for the store followed by service and others. This research can be used as a guideline to identify loyal and disloyal customers of the store and to improve overall store performance by increasing the customer loyalty base.
