Finance
Simple words, yet systematic research – that is what sets our marketing, finance, operations and management case studies apart. Targeted at non-experts, our cases explain state-of-the-art management concepts to readers who probably specialize in other fields. For example, by explaining finance to the marketing expert or operations to the accountant, we help expand their knowledge base and prepare them for new challenges as their careers progress.
How commodity exchanges help farmers
The mission here was to introduce readers to a lesser-known form of market, commodity exchanges. One of India’s leading trading platforms, the Mumbai Multi-Commodity Exchange (MCX), serves as the foundation to understand the justification for such markets, the kinds of commodities that can be traded and the configurations of the contracts that form the basis of trading.
Tough to restart
Produced for GO Magazine (India), this study examines the particularities of the Indian bankruptcy procedure. It highlights the role of the Board of Industrial Finance and Reconstruction (BIFR), which has proved less adaptive than the Indian economy over the last 20 years. Its replacement by a more fleet-footed National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) is not proceeding at a hare-like pace.
Micro lending, macro gains
Case study on commodity exchanges, January 2009

Micro-lending is paying its way and demonstrating that finance and service to society can correlate. This case also explores how micro-lending institutions are structured in order to remain profitable despite low margins.
