Using a mixed-methods research approach, this book investigates, specifically in the Indian context, the concept of sustainability in one of the most celebrated form of social enterprises of our times ? Microfinance Institutions (MFIs). What are the determinants and discriminants for the sustainability of Indian MFIs? How are these factors being managed by operationally efficient Indian MFIs that remained sustainable at reasonable interest rates, even before the onset of the crisis and imposition of ceilings in Indian microfinance markets? What does the Indian microfinance crisis teach us about sustainability management and mismanagement? The discussion centred on these questions, depicts sustainability to be a strategic issue that needs managerial attention and not left to serendipity. At a time when the industry is recovering from the adverse effects of a crisis and questions the fixed interest rate imposed by regulators, the findings mentioned in the book revive the lost hope for the Indian microfinance industry. By deciphering the strategies used by efficient and sustainable MFIs and discussing the lessons that the crisis has imparted to the Indian microfinance markets, this book enables Indian MFIs to march towards efficient and sustainable operations, without losing focus on their clients. 410 0$aIndia Studies in Business and Economics,$x2198-0012 606 $aFinance 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aFinance, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/600000 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 615 0$aFinance. 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 14$aFinance, general. 615 24$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 676 $a332.0954 700 $aMarakkath$b Nadiya$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061335 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298523803321 996 $aSustainability of Indian Microfinance Institutions$92518466 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03504nam 22005655 450 001 9910588594503321 005 20240408111940.0 010 $a9789811900235$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9789811900228 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-19-0023-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7076768 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7076768 035 $a(CKB)24735741600041 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-19-0023-5 035 $a(PPN)26419568X 035 $a(EXLCZ)9924735741600041 100 $a20220821d2022 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aKorean Food and Foodways $eThe Root of Health Functional Food /$fby Cherl-Ho Lee 205 $a1st ed. 2022. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Springer,$d2022. 215 $a1 online resource (326 pages) 311 08$aPrint version: Lee, Cherl-Ho Korean Food and Foodways Singapore : Springer,c2022 9789811900228 327 $aChapter 1: Diet of Northeast Asian Paleolithic Peoples -- Chapter 2: The Nutritional Anthropological Contribution of Primitive -- Pottery Culture -- Chapter 3: Rice and Soybean Cultivation -- Chapter 4: Food science and Dongyi Tribes -- Chapter 5: Food science and Rice Cakes and Korean Sweets -- Chapter 6: Characteristics and Classification of Joseon Soy Sauce -- Chapter 7: Kimchi and Jeotgal -- Chapter 8: Korean Non-alcoholic Beverages -- Chapter 9: Traditional Korean Alcoholic Drinks -- Chapter 10: Eastern Medicine and the Founding of the Traditional Korean Diet -- Chapter 11: Food and Nutritional Status -- Chapter 12.

It also discusses historical backgrounds and manufacturing method details of traditional food categories, such as rice cakes, sweets, fermented sauces, and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and helps us understand the full science behind Korean traditional food. This book elaborates on the various changes in food culture brought about by recent updates, and inspires future contributions of Korean food concepts, particularly regarding the latest research on the intersection of food and Traditional Eastern Medicine. While the book will be particularly valuable for researchers and scholars interested in specifics in food science, it will also appeal to traditional medicine researchers seeking new knowledge for current functional foods. 606 $aFood science 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aFood Science 606 $aBiological Techniques 606 $aAlimentació$2thub 607 $aCorea$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aFood science. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 14$aFood Science. 615 24$aBiological Techniques. 615 7$aAlimentació 676 $a641.59519 700 $aLee$b Cherl-Ho$01254097 702 $aEvans$b Diana Hinds 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910588594503321 996 $aKorean Food and Foodways$92907984 997 $aUNINA
