Mr. Ajay Nair
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7671841
Abstract
Certificate
Managing open innovation is typically viewed as managing a project with a set of expectations. It requires
careful planning and proven management principles to enable companies to respond to their needs in the
most effective and efficient way possible. However, the literature on integration and comparison among
project management, project portfolio management and open innovation principles is limited. Viewing open
innovations as a series of separate projects can lead to many problems including those related to transaction
costs and risks. This paper extensively reviews the literature of project management, project portfolio
management, and open innovation in the hope that these principles can be better integrated and synergized
both in terms of the literature and in practice.

A REVIEW ON INNOVATIVE HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO INDIA
Ramdas Bhaurao Jadhav
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7672591
Abstract
Certificate
Human resource practises are most successful when they are aligned with an organization’s strategic
objectives. The significance of human resources in a business’s success is expanding quickly in tandem
with the expansion of various industries in the current globalised period. With the rise of India’s information-
based businesses, human knowledge is unquestionably the most significant strength today. To
ensure that a business selects the best person for the position and manages human resources effectively,
procedures such as competence mapping are gaining traction. Competency planning is the process
of defining critical capabilities for a specific job inside an organisation and then using those
qualities for job appraisal, recruiting, training and development, performance management, and succession
planning. When combined with the balanced scorecard, this may be a very beneficial tool for
managing an organization’s performance. In terms of human resources, the time has maybe come to
regard it as a line function, with each manager having HR obligations as part of his line responsibilities,
rather than as a distinct, support-only job. The change in emphasis away from conventional
human resource techniques toward strategic human resource practises was unavoidable. A company’s
competitive advantage does not simply come from distinguishing a product or service or from being
the lowest-cost leader; it also comes from being able to use the company’s unique talents or core
competencies and react quickly to consumer wants and rival actions. Human resource procedures may
be critical in discovering and analysing external opportunities and dangers that might be critical to
the success of the business. It has a unique position in terms of providing competitive information that
may be beneficial throughout the strategic planning process. Thus, human resource methods aimed at
attracting the greatest people, providing a pleasant work environment, and enabling the organisation
to retain talent are designed, executed, and proven effective by India’s top corporations.

Vigneshwaran Nadar
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.7672623
Abstract
Certificate
American Economist and Nobel Prize winner Harry Markowitz was the first to introduce creation of optimal
portfolio in his Modern Portfolio Theory. Modern portfolio theory of Dr. Harry was mainly based of the risk
and return analysis. The model given by the Modern Portfolio Theory was Complex and required a lot of
data to work with. Sharpe Single Index was extension of Harry Markowitz's theory which was made by
William Sharpe after Studying Markowitz Research. The model provided by the William Sharpe was simple
and are widely used. The Sharpe Single Index Model does not require many data inputs like Markowitz
model. Sharpe's Single Model is based on the assumption that the covariances in the securities return can be
explained by single factor, that is Index. The current study attempts to construct optimal portfolio of the
stocks listed in the BSE 200 using Sharpe Single Index Model. For the optimal portfolio construction monthly
closing of the selected stocks and Index are taken from the period of October 2015 to October 2021, 364-day
T-Bill rate was used as proxy for the risk-free rate. The current study identified 17 stocks eligible for the
construction of the optimal portfolio.
