Title: Business Model Innovation for Inclusive Development: Case Studies of Infrastructure Development in India

The role of transformational leadership and institutional entrepreneurship in organizational change in Indian public organizations

“…Contemporary studies on public infrastructure in India (Cui et al, 2018;Höffken & Limmer, 2019;Rao-Nicholson & Svystunova, 2021;Qiu & Rao-Nicholson, 2021;Chatterjee & Kundu, 2022) have noted the lack of relevant organizational reforms (Khanna et al, 2021) and talent to support India's growing demand for public facilities and infrastructure (Shah & Prakash, 2018;Chertow et al, 2019;Kumar, 2021).
