Spices exports were up 16% in value to Rs. 4,880.56 crores during April- Dec 2010.

CROWD SOURCING- THE FUTURE MODEL FOR ORGANIZATIONS
(GIM Journal of Management, 2011-07) Suganthamani C V
There is a lot of buzz going on around “Crowd sourcing” lately a term coined by wired journalist Jeff Howe in his article “The Rise of crowd sourcing”. But what is crowd sourcing all about? In Howe’s own words “ Technological advances is happening in everything from product design software to digital video cameras which are breaking down the cost barriers that once separated amateurs from professionals. Hobbyists, part-timers, and dabblers suddenly have a market for their efforts, as smart companies in industries as disparate as pharmaceuticals and television discover ways to tap the latent of talent of the crowd. The labor isn’t always free, but it costs a lot less than paying traditional employees. Its not outsourcing; its crowd sourcing. This definition illustrates where the crowd sourcing phenomenon is coming from, but it does not create clear boundaries for what should be considered crowd sourcing and what should not. Does crowd sourcing necessarily involves something commercial? Can we classify social networks and collaborative production platforms as crowd sourcing? Probably there is no definite answer for this question as the phenomenon of crowd sourcing is evolving and reshaping itself day by day.

A STUDY ON THE GROWTH AND PERFORMANCE OF LIFE INSURANCE CORPORATION DURING THE POST REFORM PERIOD IN INDIA- AN INTROSPECTION
(International Research journal of commerce, 2013-09) Suganthamani C V
The structures of the service sectors have undergone a drastic change after liberalization, privatization and globalization of the Indian economy, in general and the insurance sector in particular. For almost four decades LIC had been the sole player with virtual monopoly in the life insurance sector. In the early 90’s the government of India ventured into the policy of liberalization, privatization and globalization. It was assumed that the entry of so many companies in this sector was likely to affect the performance of LIC. Thus, the life insurance public sector giant i.e., LIC, which never faced competition earlier would compete with private players who boast the rich and long experience of their partners from the developed countries of the world. They are also coming up with different types of innovative policies and other strategic plans. It is expected that the total business of LIC, in terms of premium, sum assured and number of policies and its market share would get affected. It is therefore necessary to study the business performance and strategies of LIC after the liberalization policy regime and also changes that might have occurred or any restructuring that might have been done by LIC in the wake of entry of private players in the Life Insurance sector. Hence it become imperative to evaluate the performance of Life Insurance Corporation of India.

(International Journal of Management, IT & Engineering, 2013-11) Suganthamani C V
During the last six decades a number of significant changes have taken place in the Indian economy. These changes point to the fact that the Indian economy should not be classified along with other less developed nations. It should be rather called as rapidly emerging economy. Opening its doors to globalization in the nineties led to the miraculous growth story that India is today. During 1990s India was one of the fastest growing economies in the world and has since seen a long and unprecedented period of welfare enhancement. India,s trade as a proportion of GDP rose 13.1 per cent in 1990 to 20.3 per cent in 2000. But the last decade has been one of the most tumultuous and volatile times for India. It witnessed, the most gruesome terror attacks, shocking financial scams were unearthed coupled with low growth rate and high inflation. Considering all these facts there arises a question of whether India is heading towards stagflation. In this context the paper attempts to discuss the looming spectre of stagflation, inflationary trends and growth rate of the economy.

(ZENITH International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research, 2014) Renuka, K
Rural-urban migration is one of the most widespread demographic trends, particularly in developing countries. In India, it is seen that among the migrants in the rural areas, about 90 percent migrated from the rural areas while only about 9 percent were from the urban areas. Unemployment pushes migrants towards areas with greater employment opportunities. The migrant workers shift to different places either individually or with families depending upon the nature of work and seasonality of work. This movement of population is explained by both push and pull factors due to varied rural based development programme. This current study focuses on examining the various push and pull factors influencing for migration among informal workers in Coimbatore. The universe of the study consisted of all 120 migrants workers residing in Pannimadai and Veerapandi area in periyanayakkanpalayam were selected by adopting purposive sampling technique. The study found that that rural stagnation such as lack of economic and social opportunities for self improvement (education and training facilities) and lack of career progression are the main reasons for migration to urban areas.

REPATRIATING THE EXPAT - SOLVING THE REPATRIATION RIDDLE
(GIM Journal of Management, 2014-07) Suganthamani C V
In order to handle the increasing competition internationally, more companies are using international assignments as a critical competitive edge. One phase of the international assignments is repatriation which has been identified as the most difficult phase of international assignment. To develop global competence, companies invest a great deal in sending employees on international assignment, trying to ensure their adjustment and successful repatriation and retention. Why then it is constantly reported that repatriates leave their company far more often within one year of return to the home country? Finding the key to successful repatriation of globally mobile employees is clearly the way to competitive advantage for internationally operating firms.
