Consumer behaviour is a key component of marketing research because it helps us understand how people and groups decide what products and services to consume. Businesses continuously strive to have a better knowledge of customer behaviour in order to more successfully adjust their marketing tactics and satisfy consumer needs as the global marketplace grows more competitive and dynamic. In this context, a sizable amount of research has been devoted to analysing consumer behaviour, frequently emphasising multinational companies (MNCs) as important players in the international market. However, it is crucial to recognise the tremendous contribution that MSMEs--micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises--have made to the world economy. MSMEs are essential to many industries, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and fostering economic progress. Recognising the considerable contribution that MSMEs (micro, small, and medium-sized companies) make to the world economy is crucial. MSMEs are essential in a number of industries, creating jobs, fostering innovation, and boosting the economy in several ways. By comparing the similarities and variations in customer behaviour patterns and decision-making processes, the comparative research between MNCs and MSMEs provides a unique viewpoint. It investigates the effects of variables on customer behaviour in MNCs and MSMEs, including brand perception, product quality, price sensitivity, and cultural impacts. This study aims to shed light on the main influences on customer behaviour in various organisational environments by evaluating these variables. In the globalised and linked world of today, understanding the contrasts between MNCs and MSMEs in terms of customer behaviour is extremely important. MSMEs operate on a smaller scale with less resources but may benefit from localised expertise and customisation while MNCs may have considerable resources and widespread brand awareness. Consumer behaviour in these various organisational environments is compared. In conclusion, by undertaking a comparison between MNCs and MSMEs, this conceptual paper seeks to add to the body of knowledge already available on customer behaviour. This study aims to shed light on the elements that influence consumer decision-making in these various organisational contexts by examining the similarities and variances in consumer behaviour patterns. The results of this study may influence MNCs and MSMEs' marketing plans, enabling them to interact and target customers in a market that is become more competitive on a global scale. Finally, the paper suggests future research directions to enhance our understanding of consumer behavior in the context of MNCs and MSMEs.

 Abstract

This study examines TVS Motors' capital budgeting decisions and the utilization of two tools: the Average Rate of Return (ARR) and the Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation. Capital budgeting involves evaluating potential investments to determine which projects are most likely to generate positive returns. The ARR method calculates the average annual profit of an investment relative to its initial cost, providing a simple metric for decision-making. The Karl Pearson coefficient of correlation, on the other hand, assesses the relationship between two variables, such as investment returns and project risk factors, helping managers understand the potential impact of various factors on investment outcomes. By employing these tools, TVS Motors can make informed decisions regarding capital allocation and maximize shareholder value.

 Abstract

The strong sulfonylurea derivative glimepiride has become well-known as an efficient oral antidiabetic medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glimepiride synthesis aids in the development of scalable and effective industrial production procedures, in addition to advancing our knowledge of its chemical structure. The importance of glimepiride in the treatment of diabetes emphasizes the need for more research to optimize its synthesis for a wider range of therapeutic uses. In order to create the intermediate sulphonamide, 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-one carbamate must first be prepared. This is followed by a reaction with 4-(2-amino-ethyl) benzene sulphonamide. Glimepiride and a novel purification method for rans-4-methyl cyclohexylamine HC1 and 4-[2-(3-Ethyl-4-methyl-2-carbony1 pyrrolidine amido) ethyl]benzene sulphonamide, which were utilized in the synthesis of glimepiride, were produced by this sulphonamide when it reacted with phenyl (trans-4-methylcyclohexyl)carbamate. Glimepiride is quickly absorbed when taken orally, and its strong ability to bind proteins affects where it ends up in the body. Glimepiride's broad hepatic metabolism, mainly through cytochrome P450 enzymes, offers a number of advantages over sulfonylurea therapy, which is now widely and effectively used for NIDDM patients. These advantages could make glimepiride a potentially significant advancement in therapy.

Abstract: The 42nd Amendment to India's Constitution strengthened its secular status, mandating a neutral stance in religious affairs. Blasphemy, derived from the Greek verb, refers to disrespectful or offensive words or statements towards religious persons, groups, activities, or beliefs. Anti-blasphemy laws aim to ban the expression of disrespect or offensive comments towards religious persons, groups, activities, or beliefs. These laws are among the oldest laws created to combat hate speech. The rationale for anti-blasphemy laws is multifaceted and influenced by historical, religious, and political considerations. Blasphemy is often seen as a grave offence against sacred beliefs by numerous religions, as they uphold the sanctity of God and his teachings. Governments may employ criminal legislation to enforce religious ideals in regions where religion holds significant societal influence. Religious sentiments are regarded as essential ethical and societal principles that influence human conduct and social structure, and their safeguarding is seen as a necessary condition for stable governance. Legal provisions dealing with blasphemy include Section 295 for causing harm or defiling a place of worship, Article 295A for intentional and evil actions to provoke strong negative emotions within a particular religious group, Article 296 for disruption of religious gatherings, and Article 297 for trespassing on burial places or places of worship to cause emotional harm or insult religious sentiments. Section 295A threatens fundamental basic liberties. Blasphemy laws originated in premodern societies governed by nonsecular and undemocratic systems. They restricted freedom of speech and expression in response to societal reactions, diminished individual liberties, and allowed specific parts of society to suppress opposing views. Unlike hate speech, blasphemy comments may not automatically involve hate or violence and should not be regulated by blasphemy laws. Instead, governments should promote acceptance and discourage using religious beliefs to suppress opposing views. To alleviate the detrimental impact of blasphemy laws on journalists, authorities should have more specific and meticulously crafted blasphemy legislation, demonstrate criminal intent and foreseeability, and avoid discrimination based on religious beliefs. Additionally, states should reject the recognition of blasphemy convictions with INTERPOL-triggered arrest warrants or assessments of journalists' visas.
