A. RATIONALE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
1. Introduction
In view of growing complexity of the waste that is generated in India and the dynamic operating environment, as regards increase in population, there is enormous increase in the problems of health related issues due to which the economic development of any nation can come to a grinding halt. Therefore the study of waste management and its problems have become very significant, especially in the areas of finance and business administration. Waste at the apex level may be visualized as a non avoidable ingredient and has become a part and parcel of daily lives. While wastes can take any form ranging from household, industrial, constructional that has been instrumental in causing life threatening diseases, it is vital to attack the same when they are in the nascent stage.
The present research upholds the view that it is vital to understand the underlying problems of Waste Management in the Pune region since almost 30% of the waste generated is not collected and is dumped and littered on the streets.
Therefore to understand the underlying problem of these inefficiencies in the administrative process of waste management and study the commercial viability of using an effective business model that is linked with the waste management, the present research becomes of extreme importance.
The present research is an exploratory research to understand the current business practices that are followed mostly by the unorganized sector and the reasons for their failures in consistently and successfully carrying out the waste management processes in a smooth manner.
