Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Mapping the Intersection of Liquidity and Profitability in Indian Automobile Industry: A Panel Data Approach   Order a copy of this article
    by KRISHAN KUMAR, NEHA YADAV, Jasvinder Kaur, Kamaljit Singh 
    Abstract: The nation’s thriving automobile industry is propelling the Indian economy forward. The industry has grown to become one of the most significant in India as well as the world, with millions of people employed and trillions of dollars generated in revenue. This study aims to investigate the impact of liquidity on the profitability of selected automobile companies in India. The statistics from April 2010 to March 2022 were examined employing panel data analysis. The top 10 Bombay Stock Exchange-listed auto manufacturing companies are picked as a sample based on market capitalisation in the financial year 2021
    Keywords: automobile industry; panel data analysis; unit root test; liquidity; profitability.

  • Joint Value Creation and Individual Value Capture in Automotive Innovation Ecosystems   Order a copy of this article
    by Arne Jeppe, Lisa Kraus, Heike Proff 
    Abstract: Innovation ecosystems allow companies to develop new technologies without large investments. Therefore, these structural alignments of a multilateral set of partners are gaining importance, especially among capital-intensive automotive companies. However, the risk of losing competence is high. This is why innovation ecosystems are still rare, especially in the automotive industry, although much research has been done on how the partners can jointly create value and individually capture parts of it. Therefore, we investigate which of the factors influencing joint value creation and individual value capture in innovation ecosystems managers of automotive companies see and what influence the two have on success. With exploratory structural equation modelling on the basis of a survey of 286 automotive companies, we show that governance mechanisms are most important to automotive managers, while value drivers have not yet been used in innovation ecosystems.
    Keywords: ecosystem; governance; innovation; joint value creation; automotive industry.

  • Product failures in emerging markets: Product Design vs. Brand. Insights from an experimental study on Automobiles   Order a copy of this article
    by Pradeep Kesavapanikkar, Palaniappan Ramu, R.K. Amit 
    Abstract: A company needs to innovate and develop new products to be successful. However, some products fail after launch while similar products from other companies succeed. We study the effects of design and brand, the main intrinsic and extrinsic factors of a product, thus addressing the gap of integrated research on the combined effects of design and brand on product success in the context of the automobile industry in an emerging market.

    Keywords: product development; brand equity; product design attributes; product design satisfaction; purchase intention.
