The United Nations has also urged businesses to switch from fossil fuels to renewable and ecologically sustainable methods. To accomplish the Sustainable Development Goals, several nations have commenced the shift from economic expansion to green productivity strategies, such as green finance and green innovation. The focus of the corporate sector is now on greening the business processes to address environmental sustainability challenges. Green finance represents an innovative financial approach embraced by financial institutions that combines environmental conservation with economic gains. The primary objective of this research is to assess the role of green finance in propelling India towards sustainability and to analyse the efforts of the Indian government, regulatory authorities, and financial institutions in promoting green financing through diverse initiatives to achieve sustainability. A qualitative approach has been used to provide in-depth insights and explore the complexities of the issue. Additionally, the research also focused on exploring the various challenges encountered in the realm of green finance, while also contemplating the prospective pathways and strategies that could shape the future trajectory of green finance in India.</p> Anuradha Sahu, Shweta Khatri Copyright (c) 2024 DME Journal of Management https://www.dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/424 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Leveraging Artificial Intelligence In Business Activation: Legal and IPR Perspectives https://www.dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/461 <p>This paper delves into the burgeoning intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and business activation, scrutinizing the legal and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) perspectives that govern this integration. The research adopts a doctrinal methodology, drawing insights from contemporary literature including books, journals, and papers. It aims to comprehensively understand AI’s role in business processes and the ensuing legal implications. The study commences with an exploration of AI’s escalating influence on business operations and proceeds to dissect the legal frameworks and IPR issues pertinent to AI inventions. A proposed conceptual model for AI integration addresses data privacy, security, and transparency concerns. The paper further investigates the patentability of AI algorithms and inventions, copyright ramifications for AI-generated content, and confidentiality challenges associated with AI models. Authorship and ownership debates are also examined, particularly concerning AI-generated work and employee-created AI within employer rights. The paper highlights ethical dilemmas surrounding AI ownership and accountability, underscored by challenges safeguarding AI-related IP. Real-world case studies provide a pragmatic lens through which the paper discusses how businesses navigate these legalities. The culmination of this inquiry offers pragmatic recommendations for businesses contemplating AI adoption. The paper acknowledges limitations due to the rapid evolution of technology potentially outdating legislative measures. Hence, it advocates for ongoing legislative updates to remain congruent with technological advancements.</p> Lavanya Bhagra, Tushar Singh Copyright (c) 2024 DME Journal of Management https://www.dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/461 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000 Analysing work from home after COVID-19 as the new normal https://www.dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/464 <p>To understand more about the experiences of employers and employees after more than two years of COVID-19, a SWOT analysis is conducted and primary data is gathered. A paper explains why people in Patna are unproductive and why working from home is unacceptable. Data is collected from 347 respondents working from home in Patna district through an online survey with the help of Google Forms, Gmail, WhatsApp, and different social media sites from July 1 to September 30. SWOT analysis is used to identify the advantages, disadvantages, opportunities, and threats associated with working from home. While working from home, the company begins aperformance evaluation on a new weight. Watch out for phoney websites that purport to provide jobs that can be done from home. Prospective employees worldwide can work remotely without worrying about obtaining a passport or visa. Software as a Service emerges as a new market to provide businesses with all services provided while working from home. To set up a home office, most employees spend money on furniture, with most of them spending RS 10,000 on furnishings. Working from home increases internet bills by Rs. 1000. We accepted technological innovation when we adopted the work-from-home paradigm. Employees with higher technological expertise are valued more highly than those with experience. Moonlighting is a crucial\ idea about which employers need to exercise caution when their staff members work from home.</p> Abhishek Kumar Singh Copyright (c) 2024 DME Journal of Management https://www.dmejournals.com/index.php/DMEJM/article/view/464 Fri, 12 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000
