1. Editorial Nandakumar M. K.; Saptarshi Purkayastha Organizations in emerging economies are gaining greater relevance in the global economy and they exert a significant influence on organizations from developed economies (Khanna & Palepu, 2006). Resource accumulation process and resource bundling in these organizations are different when compared to the organizations from developed economies (Gaur & Kumar, 2009). Furthermore, there are major variations in the governance systems, infrastructural support, financial systems, sociocultural factors, political systems and legal systems between the developed and emerging markets...; Organizations in emerging economies are gaining greater relevance in the global economy and they exert a significant influence on organizations from developed economies (Khanna & Palepu, 2006).

2. Review on Supply Chain Management Research—An Indian Perspective Anand Gurumurthy; Gunjan Soni; Surya Prakash; Gaurav Kumar Badhotiya In India, Supply Chain Management (SCM) has gained significant importance due to opening up of domestic economy as a result of globalization. However, a review of literature revealed that not many papers are available which attempt to document and understand the importance of SCM within the Indian business context. Hence, the purpose of this research is to fill in this research gap by analyzing the contributions of academicians and practitioners addressing various supply chain issues—specifically from an Indian perspective. Papers focusing on SCM scenario in India were collected from multiple sources by following the established methodologies available in the literature for carrying out such reviews. Furthermore, a new taxonomy was proposed on the basis of content and research methodology utilized. Based on this taxonomy, significant trends were observed and some unique inferences were drawn, apart from identifying the directions for future research. It is hoped that this work would add value by offering a unique contribution to the body of knowledge on SCM, as there is no article available in the literature, which has attempted to summarize the works from India related to SCM.

3. Organizational Responses to Institutional Changes—A Review and an Extension Mukundhan K. V. As economies undergo institutional transition, firms change their internationalization strategies to take advantage of the prevailing institutional environment of the time. Extant studies on firm internationalization have predominantly focused on the effects of host country institutional environments in determining the internationalization strategies of firms. However, recent evidence from emerging market firms indicates that motivations for going international, the choice of international locations and modes of market entry are influenced in part by the institutional environment of the home country. Underlying the successful internationalization of emerging market firms is a transformation in perspective from critical wariness to one involving foreign multinationals in the development process. Drawing upon the experience of Indian firms, this article accounts for the evolution of emerging country multinational enterprises and explains their internationalization by mapping the observed patterns to institutional changes in their home environment. In the process, this article develops propositions that map the internationalization strategies of firms with the maturation of economic institutions in their home country.

4. E-governance Readiness: Challenges for India Sebastian M. P.; Supriya K. K. Governments and public sector organizations around the globe are relying on information and communication technologies (ICTs) to reform the functioning of the system and provide better service delivery mechanisms for their citizens. E-governance is the effective use of ICTs, particularly the Web-based Internet applications, for better governance and service delivery. Indian government, like its global counterparts, is using ICT and E-governance as part of its broader governance modernization programmes. This article presents an overview of the E-governance scenario in India. It evaluates the readiness, capability and willingness of the government to provide E-services in terms of the factors like telecommunication infrastructure, human capital and web presence. Based on the assessment, the factors which hinder the E-initiatives development and the barriers for the effective implementation are identified. These barriers are then classified into the three dimensions which determine the E-governance readiness. A strategy for improving the E-governance readiness in India is also proposed.
