Editorial

This issue dwells on a number of contemporary issues. We have articles focusing on banking sector by Massand and Gopalakrishna on the opportunities for FDI in Indian banking sector, and internet banking usage by Meera, Govindarajan and Inbalakshmi. On the HR side, Anitha and Reema talk about competencies and commitment of higher education teachers, while HemaMalini and Anthea lay emphasis on expectancy theory. Smita uses thematic content analysis to study the concept of food mile, and Pushparaj applies time series analysis to conclude that there is no influence of trading in food commodity futures on wholesale price indices. In addition to articles, we have a book reviewed by Harish and a perspective by Karmakar on commodities markets.
