Managing change, growth and transformation: Case studies of organizations in an emerging economy
Purpose: In view of dynamic and widespread economic transformation in emerging economies, managing organizational change and growth in this context deserves more research attention. The purpose of this paper is to examine how three organizations in different industries manage change, growth and transformation in their organizational ecosystem. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted in-depth interviews with the leadership of three organizations in different economic sectors in India, a country representing an emerging economy. The authors also reviewed historical data from these organizations. Three case studies illustrating the evolution of these organizations were developed from the data collected. Findings: Lessons and implications from the three case studies suggest the following key elements of effective organizational change mechanisms in an emerging economy: visionary entrepreneurial leadership; program quality excellence; scale growth and scope expansion; network capabilities; and sustainable stakeholders engagement. At the same time, this study also shows how these organizations manage change, growth and transformation in the context of a society with strong traditions and cultural norms. Research limitations/implications: Results and conclusions may be limited by the fact that the study is based on three case studies. Additional studies from a variety of industries with large numbers of participants will be helpful in more fully understanding the ways in which change, growth and transformation can best be developed and deployed in different organizational settings. Practical implications: The proposed model of organizational change in an emerging economy may assist organizational leadership in designing and sustaining their change efforts. Social implications: This study highlights the role of visionary entrepreneurial leadership and the impact of organizational growth mechanisms on organizational value delivery capabilities and organizational reputation.

Management and Sales Forecasting of an E-commerce Information System Using Data Mining and Convolutional Neural Networks
The exponential development of e-commerce in recent decades has enhanced convenience for individuals. Compared to the conventional business environment, e-commerce is characterized by increased dynamism and complexity, resulting in several obstacles. Data mining assists individuals in effectively addressing these difficulties. Traditional data mining cannot efficiently use big data in the power provider industry. It heavily relies on time-consuming and labor-intensive feature engineering, and the resulting model could be more easily scalable. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) can efficiently use vast amounts of data and autonomously extract valuable elements from the original input, resulting in increased effectiveness. This article utilizes a CNN to extract valuable insights from e-commerce information to forecast commodities sales accurately and proposes a CNN-based Sales Forecasting Model (CNN-SFM). The findings indicate that using data mining and CNN yields a high level of precision in forecasting forthcoming people buying capacity data. The correlation variable between actual usage information and projected usage information was 0.98, and the highest mean error was just 1.78%. Data mining can effectively extract hidden relevant information and forecast future consumption habits for e-commerce systems. CNN demonstrates proficiency in accurately predicting forthcoming consumption power and trends. The Research Publication. -
Mamaearth: from a mothers dilemma to a multi-crore brand
Learning outcomes: The case study has several objectives: to gauge the evaluation of the direct-to-consumer industry in the economy of India, to analyse the competition of the brands, to ascertain the evolution of smaller direct-to-consumer (DTC) brands on the purchasing capacity of consumers, to analyse challenges in branding in Tier 2 and 3 cities and to evaluate the strategic branding decisions of Mamaearth. Case overview/synopsis: During her pregnancy, Ghazal Alagh and her husband Varun Alagh, the co-founders of Mamaearth, were looking for some good and natural products for their babys skincare. However, she could not find products that were 100% safe. Hence, as a concerned mother, she started using a few hands-on home remedies for her baby, which were 100% organic, and then the idea clicked to her to start a baby care brand named Mamaearth, which later also included personal care products. The company started as a DTC/internet-first brand in 2016, which only used to sell products online without any intermediaries when it was still trying to make its way in the market and was aware of the stiff competition by giants such as Hindustan Unilever and Proctor & Gamble, who were ruling the market for decades. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the market saw a shift in consumer buying patterns. There was greater use of e-commerce touch points for shopping, as various digital platforms such as the official site of products, social media and mobile platforms were used by consumers during the pandemic, leading to digitalization in buying and digitalization of consumer shopping journey. These technology platforms were expected to play a substantial role in reaching and creating consumer awareness, transaction and retention post-COVID according to reports by Deloitte 2020. Moreover, such a shift in behaviour amidst the COVID-19 pandemic shot up sales of this DTC brand and made itself the big shot it is today, where they were looking to get into an initial public offering in just seven years of its launch. They re-evaluated their strategy, which helped them become the biggest brand in no time. Complexity academic level: This case study is suitable for Doctor of Philosophy students.

Malpractice Detection in Examination Hall using Deep Learning
Various institutions administer tests at designated examination locations, chosen third-party and approved centers, and have established standards for installing CCTV cameras and conducting frisking under the supervision of designated personnel. Some institutions are using online proctoring, which enables students to take exams from any location. In all of the aforementioned scenarios, human monitoring is conducted, and maintaining a high level of vigilance may be challenging due to administrative oversight or intentional allowance of malpractice for personal gain. The malpractice detection may be attributed to acts like as plagiarism, unauthorized sharing of papers, and non-verbal communication. The study is conducted by capturing the dataset in the classroom of Christ University. The proposed approach is based on the YOLO framework. The movies are processed in real time to identify hand rotation, paper extraction, and classify the motion. The accuracy for the Head_right class is significantly higher than that of the Head_left class. The system is implemented using the programming language Python and has the potential for future expansion to provide real-time monitoring. 2024 IEEE. -
Malicious URL Detection Using Machine Learning Techniques
Cyber security is a very important requirement for users. With the rise in Internet usage in recent years, cyber security has become a serious concern for computer systems. When a user accesses a malicious Web site, it initiates a malicious behavior that has been pre-programmed. As a result, there are numerous methods for locating potentially hazardous URLs on the Internet. Traditionally, detection was based heavily on the usage of blacklists. Blacklists, on the other hand, are not exhaustive and cannot detect newly created harmful URLs. Recently, machine learning methods have received a lot of importance as a way to improve the majority of malicious URL detectors. The main goal of this research is to compile a list of significant features that can be utilized to detect and classify the majority of malicious URLs. To increase the effectiveness of classifiers for detecting malicious URLs, this study recommends utilizing host-based and lexical aspects of the URLs. Malicious and benign URLs were classified using machine learning classifiers such as AdaBoost and Random Forest algorithms. The experiment shows that Random Forest performs really well when checked using voting classifier on AdaBoost and Random Forest Algorithms. The Random Forest achieves about 99% accuracy. 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. -
Malicious Traffic Classification in WSN using Deep Learning Approaches
Classifying malicious traffic in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is crucial for maintaining the network's security and dependability. Traditional security techniques are challenging to deploy in WSNs because they comprise tiny, resourceconstrained components with limited processing and energy capabilities. On the other hand, machine learning-based techniques, such as Deep Learning (DL) models like LSTMs, may be used to detect and categorize fraudulent traffic accurately. The classification of malicious traffic in WSNs is crucial because of security. To protect the network's integrity, data, and performance and ensure the system functions properly and securely for its intended use, hostile traffic categorization in WSNs is essential. Classifying malicious communication in a WSN using a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is efficient. WSNs are susceptible to several security risks, such as malicious nodes or traffic that can impair network performance or endanger data integrity. In sequential data processing, LSTM is a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) appropriate for identifying patterns in network traffic data. 2023 IEEE. -

Magnetohydrodynamic three-dimensional flow of nanofluids with slip and thermal radiation over a nonlinear stretching sheet: a numerical study
A numerical simulation for mixed convective three-dimensional slip flow of water-based nanofluids with temperature jump boundary condition is presented. The flow is caused by nonlinear stretching surface. Conservation of energy equation involves the radiation heat flux term. Applied transverse magnetic effect of variable kind is also incorporated. Suitable nonlinear similarity transformations are used to reduce the governing equations into a set of self-similar equations. The subsequent equations are solved numerically by using shooting method. The solutions for the velocity and temperature distributions are computed for several values of flow pertinent parameters. Further, the numerical values for skin-friction coefficients and Nusselt number in respect of different nanoparticles are tabulated. A comparison between our numerical and already existing results has also been made. It is found that the velocity and thermal slip boundary condition showed a significant effect on momentum and thermal boundary layer thickness at the wall. The presence of nanoparticles stabilizes the thermal boundary layer growth. 2016, The Natural Computing Applications Forum. -
Magnetohydrodynamic squeezing two-phase flow of particulate suspension in a rotating channel with transpiration cooling
This article addresses the time-dependent two-phase magnetohydrodynamic squeezing flow of dusty liquid. The fluid flow is considered in a rotating channel. The flow is constructed by squeezing of an upper plate and stretching of the lower plate and relevant equations are obtained. Numerical results are computed by utilizing shooting method along with the RKFehlberg scheme. The obtained solutions are validated by comparison with the existing analytical solutions. The effects of pertinent parameters on velocities of both phases are comprehensively discussed through graphical results. The numerical values of shear stress of both phases at lower and upper walls are also tabulated. Furthermore, the slope of the linear regression line through data points is determined in order to quantify the increase/decrease. Numerical simulations disclosed that the normal and transverse velocities are decreased due to stronger Coriolis force. It is also established that the velocities of the fluid phase are higher than that of the dust phase IMechE 2018. -
Magnetohydrodynamic flow of williamson nanofluid due to an exponentially stretching surface in the presence of thermal radiation and chemical reaction
A steady MHD boundary layer flow of Williamson nanofluid over an exponential stretching surface through a porous medium is considered. The effects of Brownian motion and thermophoresis have examined in the energy transport equation. The influences of solar radiation and chemical reaction are taken into the account. The governing boundary layer equations with the boundary conditions are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations with the help of selected exponential type of similarity variables. They are then solved numerically using well-known Shooting technique along with Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The numerical results are presented through graphs and a table to discuss the characteristics of different flow fields versus pertinent parameters. Comparisons with previously published work have been conducted and the results are found to be in good agreement. It is found that temperature field is enhanced for the larger Brownian motion, thermophoresis parameter and radiation parameter effects. 2017 by American Scientific Publishers. All rights reserved. -
Magnetohydrodynamic flow of two immiscible hybrid nanofluids between two rotating disks
The two-layer model of the magnetohydrodynamic flow of hybrid nanofluid (HNF) between two disks of the same radii is analyzed in this study. The base fluids of both the hybrid nanofluids are immiscible so that these two fluids form an interfacial layer making the study more unique and innovative. The heat source/sink with viscous dissipation effect on energy equation is discussed. The governing equation is in the form of PDEs that are later reduced to ODEs with the help of the Von Karman transformation. The resulting ODEs are solved using the RK method and the results are interpreted graphically. In addition to temperature and concentration gradient, the radial, tangential and axial velocities for different parameters are studied. The results indicate that the physical ratios such as viscosity and thermal conductivity ratios can improve the fluid motion and temperature even in the presence of magnetic field. Also, the ratio of stretching rate produced by the rotation of disk can effectively control the fluid motion. The two fluid flow between two rotating disk forms an interfacial layer between the fluids results in the increment of heat transfer rate which finds application in the field such as heat ex-changer equipment, Cryogenic systems, electronic appliances, and solar collectors. 2024 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
