  • Export Resilience of Indian Leather Footwear: Post-COVID-19 Context
    Indian Journal of Economics and Development, 2023
    This study examined the factors influencing Indian leather footwear exports during the COVID-19 pandemic and prioritized the key challenges. By analyzing the literature of the crisis period (2019-2021) and consulting industry experts, the study identified and ranked challenges using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a commonly used method for project prioritization. Microsoft Excel's built-in functions, including average, sum, MMULT, and GEOMEAN, were used to calculate criteria weights and determine their global priorities. The research revealed that the pandemic significantly impacted export revenue, supply chain disruptions, and export operations and incentives in the leather footwear industry. Based on the findings, the study recommended CLE extend existing promotional schemes, such as the Integrated Development of Leather Sector (under IFLDP), to mitigate the pandemic's disruption on Indian leather footwear exports.
  • Debunking the Production Predicaments among the Motor and Pump Exporters in the Coimbatore Region: Upside-down Approach of O-L-I Framework
    Raghuveer Negi, A. Muthusamy, Abuzar Nomani, Shetty Deepa Thangam Geeta
    Global Business Review, 2023
    We explore the unplumbed dimension of the O-L-I specific advantage of the firm in this research by shifting the focus from the entry mode of MNEs to problems faced by home-based manufacturer exporters, which is unique from its original concept. The proposed approach transposes the idea and implication of the eclectic paradigm in an international trade setting. To test the upside-down approach of the O-L-I framework, various challenges were identified through EFA and CFA, and in the final phase, the impact of ownership, location and internalization has been measured (using path analysis) on production problems faced by these manufacturer exporters. We used a structured questionnaire to collect the data from 220 motors and pump manufacturer exporters from January to September 2021. Moreover, the Coimbatore city wears the crown of ‘Pump City of Asia’, which makes the spot an ideal place for generalization of research and optimization of desired results. The research outcome illustrates the significant impact of location and internalization on the production problems encountered by the manufacturer exporters. The novelty of the study is substantiated by extending the application of O-L-I specific advantage for FDI to home-based exports, which we labelled as the ‘up-side-down approach’ of the O-L-I framework.
