Tools designed

  • Developed a comprehensive Excel-based tool designed for advanced data analysis, particularly in social science and management research. This tool calculates key metrics such as factor loading, Cronbach’s alpha, composite reliability, average variance explained (AVE), HTMT (Heterotrait-Monotrait) values, and standard deviation, essential for evaluating the reliability and validity of measurement models. This tool not only help in calculation but also provides functionality to assist analysts with data understanding, identification of missing values, and data cleaning, making it a valuable resource for improving the quality of research data and enhancing overall analytical precision.
  • Developed a OBE tools called "Rubro (Copyright)", an outcome-based education software designed to implement an outcome-based learning system in educational institutions. This tool aims to bridge the gap between the knowledge and skills graduates possess and those required for successful placement in the corporate sector. Using this tool, instructors can monitor students' progress in acquiring essential skill sets and assist them in developing the necessary competencies.
  • Developed a tool called “i-Orieno” (Copyright), a software for skillsets assessment. This software will help educational institutions to understand the relevant skills and knowledge their graduates possess and the gap between students’ skillsets and the skillsets required by employers. This skillset assessment software, ‘i-Orieno’ not only facilitate this process of understanding the said gap but also helps in providing a comprehensive solution for evaluating and enhancing student competencies using “Rubro” tools.
  • Developed the “Mall ‘O’ Mania” (Copyright applied), – Management Game, for Management students to understand the factors that are responsible for the setup of Shopping Mall in specific city.

Research

    Dr. Shashi Kant Dikshit’s research primarily focuses on supply chain management (SCM) and its strategic impact on organizational performance, with a particular emphasis on the Indian cement industry. His work explores how various determinants and practices within the supply chain framework influence organizational profitability, competitive advantage, and operational efficiency. Dr. Dikshit’s extensive research includes modeling the determinants of SCM to enhance organizational performance, as highlighted in his Scopus-indexed publication in the Journal of Harbin Engineering University. His studies delve deeply into evaluating the ripple effects of SCM practices on supply chain profitability, offering insights into the complex interdependencies that drive value creation in the cement industry, as reflected in his UGC Care and ABDC-indexed publications.


    A recurring theme in Dr. Dikshit’s research is the critical role of SCM practices in achieving competitive advantage. His empirical studies, published in reputed journals like Empirical Economics Letters and Prabandhan: Indian Journal of Management and other Scopus indexed journals, emphasize how adopting robust supply chain strategies can significantly impact organizational outcomes. Dr. Dikshit also examines the intricate relationships between supply chain efficiency, organizational competitiveness, and consumer benefits, as demonstrated in his case study “Measuring Supply Chain Factors: To Deliver the Benefits to Farmers and Consumers.” Beyond SCM, Dr. Dikshit has explored related areas such as consumer perception toward online shopping and sensationalism in social media posts. His interdisciplinary work reflects a holistic understanding of the broader economic and social contexts influencing supply chain dynamics and business strategies. Dr. Dikshit’s contribution to the academic and professional domain of SCM is also evident through his case studies and papers published in journals like IMR-Management Speak, PARADIGM, and research books. His studies on strategic issues in the cement supply chain and the role of SCM in corporate profitability provide actionable insights for practitioners and academics alike.
