French pilot Monseigneur Piguet flew the first commercial flight in India from Allahabad to Naini on February 18, 1911. However, it wasn’t until 1932 that Jahangir Ratanji Dadabhoy, the ‘Father of Indian Aviation’, established India’s first licensed commercial carrier.1 Tata Airlines was based out of Mumbai and transported both mail and passengers across India. In 1946 it changed its name to Air India. Two years later, the Indian Government acquired 49% of the company, and fully nationalized the airline in 1953 pursuant to the Air Corporations Act, 1953.2 this law not only allowed the Government to gain control over the erstwhile Tata Airlines, but also nationalized the entire sector. All existing airlines were merged into either Indian Airlines Corporation or Air India International.3 This monopoly continued for the next forty years. It wasn’t until the Indian economic liberalization of the 1990’s that the aviation sector was again open to private participation.

Full textAbstract:
Pre-emptive rights are legal relationships either created by a statute or through a contract. By the exercise of these rights, priority is given to the right holder over and above others as regards the potential acquisition of the relevant subject matter. Only upon refusal by such right holder, is this opportunity given to a third party to negotiate. In India, the statutory pre-emptive rights of a shareholder in a company have been recognized statutorily through the Companies Act, 2013, as well as by the extant security exchange laws. Whereas, in the case of contractual pre-emptive rights, they are enforced as per the Indian Contract Act, 1872. As per the statutorily recognized pre-emptive rights, the rights are held by the shareholders of a corporation by virtue of which additional shares shall not be issued by the company to a third party, without the shares first being offered to all its existing shareholders. In the case of the contractual pre-emptive rights, they are, typically, an arrangement between the shareholders of the corporation that, in the case of transfer of shares, the exiting shareholder shall first offer those shares to the non-exiting one. It leads to great confusion for many, as the context in which the term is used statutorily and contractually varies to a great degree. Through this article, an attempt is made to discuss the concept of pre-emptive rights in a company, its statutory and contractual presence in companies regulated as per the laws of India and review judicial developments and understand its relevance in today’s time.

Full textAbstract:
In the non-life insurance sector, General Insurance Business Act of 1972 was approved by the Indian Parliament through amalgamation of 107 general insurance companies operating on that time. In the non-life insurance segment, there are 6 public sector insurers and the rest 28 are private insurers. Apart from these, there is a sole national re-insurer, namely general Insurance Corporation of India (GIC). In this context, the study attempts to analyze the financial growth of the private non-life insurers in India from 2010-11 to 2019-20. Varied results are observed in respect of selected performance indicators of private non-life insurers in India. Overall, we found no significant change in financial recital indicators during the study epoch. To conclude, it may be stated on the whole, it may be stated that despite momentous positive enlargement in FDIR, the private non-life insurers in India have not shown acceptable recital with respect to financial indicators during the time under study.

Full textAbstract:
INTRODUCTION: The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) administers New Zealands (NZ) accident compensation scheme. Asians in NZ are apparently under-serviced by ACC and may be experiencing barriers to accessing services. This study identifies barriers that Asians in NZ face in accessing ACCs injury-related services and compensations. METHODS: By utilising a qualitative research design, 113 Chinese, Korean, Indian, and South East Asian participants residing in Auckland, NZ were recruited through maximum variation and purposive snowball sampling. Data were gathered during 2006 through 22 individual in-depth interviews and 14 focus group discussions based on semi-structured interview schedules. Interviewees included Asian general practitioners, traditional health providers, users and non-users of injury-related services, case managers and Asian community leaders. Data were analysed using a general inductive approach. FINDINGS: Results show that personal/cultural characteristics such as age, gender, English language competence, injury-related language competence, differing Asian worldviews, and consequent helpseeking behaviours act as barriers to accessing services and entitlements. This is exacerbated by logistical and environmental factors such as cost, transport, time, inadequate interpretation and translation services, as well as institutional barriers such as lack of information about services, culturally inappropriate services, discriminatory attitudes and employment risks. CONCLUSION: It is evident that Asians living in NZ are experiencing several cultural, environmental and institutional barriers to accessing ACC services. There is clearly a need for more culturally relevant information and injury-related services if Asian immigrants use of such services and entitlements is to be increased. KEYWORDS: Barriers; access; Asians; injury-related services

India was one of the earliest to have an Airline of its own when the Tata Group started an Airline in 1932. Post-Independence, Tata Airline which was rechristened as Air India was taken over by the Government in 1953. Then it was the tumultuous growth, development, and unfortunate fall of Air India/Indian Airlines. By 1991 the 1953 Law of Airlines (Air Corporation Act) was repealed and Private Airlines came into the picture. After which Indian skies underwent a phenomenal change. The research paper will focus on the way private sector has provided for Leadership on the Airline Segment through ‘business combinations’ that have helped ensure a versatile business segment. With coming back of the Tata group into the Airline business with Vistara and Air Asia India and the final take-over of Air India on 27th January 2022, Airlines was seeing a new Leadership emerge. Coming on page of Akasa Airline too has brought about a phenomenal business opportunity and a fillip for tourism and hospitality.

Purpose – This paper seeks to illuminate contemporary corporate social responsibility (CSR) in India's tourism industry. It aims to analyse the community impact of two Indian five-star hotels operating in Goa, a tiny coastal state. Design/methodology/approach – The study applies a case study method to examine the employment and environmental practices of the Vivanta by Taj and Leela Kempinski. Qualitative research methods were used, including interviews with management, community leaders, and workers. Secondary data were gathered from company web sites and promotion materials as well as applications under the national Right to Information Act to access official records in the pertinent government bodies. Findings – An analysis of the findings shows that CSR in India's tourism industry is currently limited to corporate self-reporting on indicators of the companies' choice or, in some cases, the minimum required by regulatory bodies. In the absence of tight regulatory oversight and pressure from local civil society, company reports present a one-way channel of communication of the companies' perception and practice of CSR. The paper concludes that the industry has yet to move beyond traditional philanthropy to embrace contemporary principles of CSR which include corporate transparency, multi-stakeholder engagement, and community empowerment. Originality/value – The paper demonstrates the limits of CSR in an analysis of the actual practice, rather than just communication of CSR. By examining two Indian hotels' CSR practices from the perspective of external stakeholders, the paper contributes empirical data that highlights the role of CSR beyond the interests of the corporation in its relevance to the community. The study suggests areas for further research that add to the body of knowledge about CSR in India.

Before Independence in 1925 Royal Commission on Agriculture was involved in the production and distribution of seeds and quality, improved seeds were imported from Australia, the UK, USA, Germany, etc., until 1939. Later on, the National Seed Corporation (NSC) was established in 1963, and the Indian Seed Act was enacted in 1966, which resulted in the production of quality and improved seeds with proper seed certification and standards. Rice is the chief crop grown in India with a total cultivation area of 44 Mha and total production of 117.47 MT. A study was organized to examine the market share of paddy seed in the Bhoodan Pochampally market and Yadadri Bhuvangiri district in Telangana. The study is based on primary data, which was collected from distributors and farmers through a pre-tested interview schedule, and secondary data, which was collected from the district department of agriculture, the district planning and statistical office, and various websites. Among those 4 mandals, 5 villages from each Mandal that means 20 villages were selected randomly for data collection. Form every village, 10 farmers were selected randomly. Out of the total 200 farmers, marginal farmers (up to 1 Ha) were12%, small (1 to 2 Ha) were 37%, semi-medium (2-4 Ha) was 29%, medium (4-10 Ha) were 16% and large farmers (above 10 Ha) were 6%. It was found that among the three types of paddy, open-pollinated paddy has the highest market share in the market area, i.e., 12,95,000 kg (79 percent), followed by research paddy, i.e., 1,95,650 kg (12 percent), and hybrid paddy, i.e., 1,55,750 kg (9 percent) in the market area.

Perhaps the most significant law affecting the provision of health services to the American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population is the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975 (ISDEAA, PL 93-638). This Act allows tribes to assume the management and control of health care programs from Indian Health Service (IHS) and to increase flexibility in health care program development. Under ISDEAA, tribes have the option to contract or compact with IHS to deliver health services using pre-existing IHS resources (formula-based shares tables determine funding for various IHS sites), third party reimbursements, grants, and other sources. Typically, tribes develop their own non-profit health care corporations to provide services to their community, and as a result are eligible for grants and other types of funding not available to federal agencies like IHS.

Introduction. The article is devoted to the analysis of the obligations of corporation members in Russian and foreign law. In the Russian and foreign doctrines, attention is paid to the duties of directors or controlling persons. Therefore, the legal question of the obligation of the corporation members is of high scientific interest. Theoretical Basis. Methods. The author analyzed the doctrines of corporate law in Russian and foreign science. In the process of studying the obligations of the corporation members, the au- thor relied on systemic, comparative methods, and a problem-theoretical method of research. Results. Specific obligations of the corporation members are considered. The issues arising in the field of legal content and implementation of several obligations of the corporation members are outlined. The obligation to act in good faith has been differentiated from the obligation to pre- vent actions aimed at an abuse of rights. Based on the analysis of foreign literature, the fiduciary duty of the corporation members is demonstrated. The responsibilities of the corporation mem- bers for non-performance of obligations are also highlighted. Discussion and Conclusion. As a result of the research, the author concludes that the responsi- bilities of the corporation members should be divided into two categories, namely basic and addi- tional. The basic obligations of the corporation members should include the following: to prevent abuse of corporate rights, to act in good faith, to participate in the formation of the corporation’s property, not to disclose confidential information about the corporation’s activities, to notify the corporation and its members in advance of their intention to file a directive claim, and to disclose information. The obligation to act in good faith and the obligation to prevent actions aimed at abusing the right differ in their content. The fiduciary duty of the members of the corporation is, in fact, the same as the obligation to act in good faith. Failure by a member to comply with cor- porate obligations may entail the following measures of corporate responsibility: exclusion of the participant from the corporation, suspension of voting rights, financial sanctions.

Full textAbstract:
Article 231 of the Peruvian Corporations Act states that, if shareholders that have at least 20% of the voting shares of a company request a distribution of a determined amount of utilities from the previous period, if there are distributable utilities, the company is obligated to distribute them.The author of the present article analyses the convenience of this disposition, from the point of view of the actors involved and taking into account the experience in other countries regarding regulation about the mandatory dividend.Furthermore, the author explains the practical application of article 231, and he inquires and questions the interpretation that has to be given as to allow the disposition to fulfill its objectives.El artículo 231 de la Ley General de Sociedades señala que, si los accionistas que ostentan el 20% de las acciones con derecho a voto solicitan una distribución de determinado monto de las utilidades, siempre que haya utilidades distribuibles, la sociedad está obligada a repartir las mismas. El autor del presente artículo analiza la conveniencia de la mencionada norma, desde el punto de vista de los actores involucrados y teniendo en cuenta la regulación sobre el dividendo mínimo en otros países. Asimismo, el autor explica la aplicación del artículo en la práctica, y se pregunta y cuestiona sobre el sentido que se le debe dar para que no se desvirtúe su finalidad.

The Czech Civil Code as well as the Business Corporations Act stipulate that a member of an elected body is obliged to act with necessary loyalty. This contribution deals with the question of how the adjective “necessary” should be understood and whether there are different levels of loyalty. In general, administrators of matters of others are able to interfere in the sphere of entitled persons in various ways and the disclosure of the entitled person´s sphere of interest determines the intensity (content) of the duty of loyalty. Members of elected bodies of business corporations are able to affect interests of business corporation fundamentally and therefore their duty of loyalty is very intensive. Nevertheless, there are considerable differences which are reflected (inter alia) in the intensity (content) of duty of loyalty. A member of an elected body must never enrich himself at the expense of the business corporation.

The real estate crash in the Global North in 2008, accompanied by the growth of a comparatively stable real estate market in India, saw a number of architects and allied companies from the Global North enter India’s National Capital Region (NCR). Indian state actors and developers, as well as corporations from the Global North, propagated a discourse of the global in order to generate economic and cultural capital for their work. The discourse operated through and embedded into the built environment and material landscapes of NCR. This paper argues that elite cultures in India need to be understood as an entanglement of local governing and corporate elite with foreign elite actors. It further argues that material environments act as sites through which both local and international groups contest, claim, and reframe the elite identities in India, intimately tying together the global and the elite. Material worlds are integral to understanding the dynamics of elite interactions in the Global North and Global South as they cross language barriers, disseminate knowledge sensorially, and constitute the foci of multinational capitalist intervention in developing countries. This paper is part of a cross-class ethnography of the building construction industry in NCR.

Abstract In strict law, the decision of the House of Lords in Rio Tinto Zinc Corporation v. Westinghouse Electric Corporation is an authority on the interpretation and application of the Evidence (Proceedings in Other Jurisdictions) Act 1975 which, giving effect to a Hague Convention of 1970, replaced the much more agreeably named Foreign Tribunals Evidence Act 1856. There are, however, wider aspects of the decision which are of great significance for international law in general and the perennial problem of the relationship between foreign policy and the judiciary in England in particular. It is this effect that requires some analysis and comment.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes how West Drumoyne became Glasgow’s first scheme to house the “general needs” of ordinary manual workers as a result of John Wheatley’s imaginative 1924 Housing Act. But there was acute conflict over what kind of houses should be built in the scheme, with the ILP wanting cottage-style houses as in Mosspark, and the ruling Moderates insisting on only tenement-style housing. Because of their majority on the Corporation, the Moderates – a Tory-Liberal coalition - won the argument. This was an example of sheer class prejudice, but nevertheless, the scheme was a happy and popular working-class community.

David M. Shoup was the twenty-second commandant of United States Marine Corps (1960-1963). An R.O.T.C. graduate, he began his military career in 1926, and would earn the Medal of Honor for his courageous leadership at the Battle of Tarawa during the Second World War. After the war, Shoup developed a reputation as a highly effective institutional reformer, someone who skirted self-promotion and political machinations, and instead focused on mission. In the years before he became commandant, Shoup served as Inspector General of the Marine Corps. Essential to his professional success was his authentic leadership style, which led subordinates to follow him and superiors to depend on him. A critical element of his authentic nature was keen self-awareness, including an understanding of how his early life experiences in Indiana shaped his core values, of honesty, fairness, responsibility, and commitment. Equally important to his authentic leadership was an independent-mindedness and a determination to act in accordance witl1 his moral code, regardless of the consequences. Throughout his Marine Corps career and even in retirement, Shoup utilized his self-knowledge and heightened sense of integrity to govern his everyday conduct and decision-making.

This chapter presents a case study that investigates the pricing of key contract provisions in Puerto Rican debt. It contributes to a body of research that asks whether investors price contract provisions and, if so, whether the pricing varies with credit risk. Contract provisions across different types of Puerto Rican bonds contain multiple sources of variation. Specifically, the chapter examines investor pricing of three key legal provisions of Puerto Rican debt; general obligation debt versus the secured bonds issued by the Puerto Rico Sales Tax Financing Corporation; debt issued under New York law versus Puerto Rican law; and finally impact of the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) which retroactively enacted collective action clauses for Puerto Rican debt. In each instance, we find evidence consistent with the hypothesis that investors value specific contract provisions and legal protections and more so when credit risk is high, and restructuring becomes likely.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter deals with the private international law of companies and other corporations with legal personality: both jurisdiction and identification of the applicable law. The point of departure is to recognize the importance of the law under which the entity was created, the lex incorporationis, as determining the existence, organization, capacity, and termination, of a corporation; the question whether such a rule allows incorporation under a law which is excessively favourable to the corporators, and dangerous to those who deal with the company, is considered: both as a matter of general principle and as bearing on claims that a court should ‘lift the veil of incorporation’. The relationship between corporate capacity and the legal authority of office-holders, when dealing with third parties, is examined. The amalgamation and succession of corporations, and the persistence or not of rights and obligations, is considered. The law relating to corporate distress is examined, in outline form, dealing with measures designed to give the company a little breathing space, and with the insolvency and winding up of the company. The fragment of law retained from the otherwise-revoked EU Insolvency Regulation is examined alongside the rules principally set out in the Insolvency Act 1986.

Full textAbstract:
The German Supervisory Board as intended by the German stock corporation act should not only supervise the Executive Board, but also be able to advise and steer it (not in day-to-day business, but strategically). As part of this task, the Supervisory Board needs adequate information on the risks the corporation faces, in all areas of business, e.g. finance, marketing or human resource. As strategic management is a core responsibility of the executive board and supervisory board and personnel risks are an essential part of strategy development and execution, information on the prevalence and severity of personnel risks are essential for a sound debate on strategic issues in the Supervisory Board. Like all risks, the management of personnel risks must be an integral part of a cyclical and company-specific strategy process. Currently, however, the area of human resource risk management plays only a minor role, which may be due to the supposedly comparatively more complex quantifiability of personnel risks or the complexity of human factor interactions. But risks in the domain of human resources are not only an important part of risk management because of current regulatory developments e.g. in the area of corporate social responsibility (CSR), but also because of the important role human resources play at companies in general. Personnel risks cannot be seen independently of a corporate strategy as humans execute them: Every strategy risk is linked with human resources.We therefore have analyzed existing human resource risk concepts with the aim of how such concepts could be used in Supervisory Boards especially for members of the employee representation to be able to advise and steer the Executive Board. We found a number of existing studies dealing with personnel risks from different angles and a few concepts for managing personnel risks. We also found that evidence is scant for personnel risks as a whole category, not only focusing on one area like motivation or health in general, but more broad categories like management risks or adaption risks. The aim of this paper therefore is to first provide a rationale for human resource risk management, second to provide an overview on existing studies and concepts in this field and third to summarize the various concepts into one for the potential usage in the Supervisory Board. This paves the way for more empirical studies on personnel risks and their relation to strategic management or enterprise risk management.

Full textAbstract:
Ridership on Midwest passenger rail lines has been steadily increasing over the past two decades. Between 2005 and 2014, there has been a growth of more than 65 percent, much higher than the national average (approximately 30 percent for the same years). Nevertheless, a number of lines have discontinued their services or are in danger of discontinuance. For example, Kentucky Cardinal, operating between Chicago, Illinois and Louisville, Kentucky was discontinued in 2003, and the Three Rivers train, operating between Chicago, Illinois and New York, New York was discontinued in 2005. The Hoosier State train running between Indianapolis, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois would have faced the same fate recently, if not for the financial support that the state and communities have been providing since 2013. As of October 1, 2013, the State of Indiana, local communities, and Amtrak reached an agreement to support the Hoosier State line for the following fiscal year (2013–2014), and the agreement has continued ever since. In the meantime, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) was the first nationally to announce a Request for Proposals to seek competing solutions from independent providers, as allowed by the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008 (PRIIA), in order to obtain private-sector competitive bids for the operation of the Hoosier State train. Recently, after many unfruitful attempts and many obstacles, INDOT reached an agreement with Iowa Pacific Holdings. The company has been providing the locomotives for the line since August 2015, and collaborates with Amtrak to keep the train in service, with a shared vision to increase service frequency, improve speed and maintain a reliable schedule, and provide better on-board amenities. However, to ensure the financial viability of the system and support any improvement or expansion, an increase in ridership is necessary. To achieve this, it is essential that we understand the opinions of Indiana residents, passengers of the Hoosier State train, and advocates of the line towards passenger rail. This paper presents the results of a survey that was conducted on board the Hoosier State train to solicit information pertaining to the perceived ease of use and usefulness of the passenger rail services, riders’ opinions, and other factors that might affect behavior toward passenger rail transportation, as well as factors that affect an individual’s mode choice in general, such as habitual automobile behavior, or external impedance factors like schedule and route restrictions. The survey was endorsed by INDOT and approved by Amtrak and Iowa Pacific Holdings. In addition, this paper presents how opinions toward passenger rail differ among different groups based on socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, familiarity with passenger rail transportation in general and the Hoosier State train specifically, and usage. Furthermore, in order to prioritize service improvements that can foster an increase in the Hoosier State ridership, this paper explores mode choice decisions through the use of a multi-attribute attitude model. The results of this paper can guide policy and planning decision making that aims to foster an increase in passenger rail ridership through a mode shift from personal automobiles and competing mass transportation systems, such as airlines and intercity buses.

Full textAbstract:
Of the four key technology areas attendant to the automotive gas turbine (ACT), structural ceramic components are the prime focus of the Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored, NASA-managed ATTAP. The General Motors (GM) ATTAP team first focused on the ceramic gasifier turbine rotor, and in 1990 achieved full design temperature (2500°F TIT) at 100%N1 (gasifier speed). Four generations of axial-rotor design have led to such success, which also includes demonstrated resistance to foreign object impact; functionality after impact and minor damage; survivability in high-speed tip rub; and a 1000-hour durability demonstration. The ceramic gasifier turbine static structure, comprising scroll and vaneset (plus other support components), has also been successfully demonstrated at full (2500°F) design conditions, including successful completion of a 100-hour durability test of an all-ceramic gasifier stage. This major contractual milestone was completed during 1991. These successes represent fundamental technology progress, not only in the GM designs, but in the materials and processes implemented by the Kyocera Corporation, Norton/TRW Ceramics, and GTE Labs. Heat management (regenerator system and thermal insulation) and combustion are other key AGT technologies. Ceramic regenerator disk efforts with Corning focus on developing extrusion technology in concert with evaluation of four ceramic material systems, to provide a disk with the requisite geometry, strength, survivability, and cost characteristics. Insulation activities with Manville target developing a ceramic refractory fiber-based system, which is wet injection molded directly in-place, and has the required thermal, adhesion, durability, and erosion properties. During 1991 a turbine engine component was successfully injection molded with this system. Some ATTAP effort has been directed toward design of a prevaporizing/premixing combustor to meet the California 0.2 gm/mile NOx standard.

Full textAbstract:
The first and last mile of a trip has been used to describe passenger travel with regards to getting to and from transit stops/stations. Solving the first and last mile (FMLM) problem extends the access to transportation systems and enlarges the number of passengers from a remote community, such as rural areas. The FMLM problem has been addressed in different public transit contexts, mainly within urban areas. However, it is also an important part of the journey in an intercity trip; yet, limited research efforts have been undertaken to examine the FMLM problem that intercity passenger train riders face. This paper fills in this gap and further, aims to identify the best strategies that could serve as a FMLM solution for short distance intercity passenger rail service (i.e., corridors that are less than 750 miles long according to the Passenger Rail Improvement and Investment Act, 2008). The Hoosier State Train (HST) service, a short-distance intercity passenger rail that connects Chicago and Indianapolis four days a week, was chosen as a case of study. The HST has four intermediate stops located in Indiana. For some of those intermediate stops HST is the only intercity public transit service offered to reach either Chicago or Indianapolis. In order to explore opportunities to enhance the HST ridership, an on-board survey was conducted in November and December 2016. The findings of this survey suggested that there are riders who travel from counties further away from a county with a station to reach and complete their journey on the train. Moreover, it was found that most of the respondents drove or rented a car, or were dropped off to reach a train station in Indiana. Unlike the results from the Chicago station, the majority of riders boarding the train from one of the Indiana stations did not use ridesharing services or public transportation. These findings suggest that there is a possible gap into the FMLM travel options for intercity rail riders and alternative options to fill this gap should be considered. This paper discusses the case study results of an accessibility analysis aiming to identify the areas in need of first/last mile service where there are no public transportation services and/or it is costly to reach a station from a desired origin. To that end, a cost surface for the different modes available in the area of study was created to determine the average travel cost to the nearest station. The analysis was carried out in ArcGIS using origin-destination data from the on-board survey, transportation network information from the U.S. Bureau Transportation Statistics, and general transit feed specification (GTFS) data. Subsequently, some of the best strategies identified were modeled around the station (e.g., shuttle buses to/from the station) in order to examine how the accessibility would increase after a strategy implementation. The results of this study may have far-reaching implications for planning strategies that can enhance access to the train stations. Finally, the FMLM strategies could assist intercity passenger rail service providers attract a larger number of passengers.
