Economics And Strategic Management: Bridging The Divide, Rakesh Singh Sep 2000

Economics And Strategic Management: Bridging The Divide, Rakesh Singh

There has always been a great divide between economic theory and management theory. On the one hand, most business schools put basic economics on their curriculum and insist on compulsory courses in the subject.  On the other hand, management theorists have found economics too abstract to be useful. Economists have always tried to run clown the case study approach as lacking in rigour and have criticized management's approach of generality.

Managing Corporate Culture: Leveraging Diversity To Give India A Global Competitive Edge By Karl Ulrich, R S Chaudhry And Kishan S Rana, Macmillan India, 2000, Pp 199, Price: Rs 260., Vijay Padaki

IIMB Management Review

The 90s witnessed a transformation of Indian business and industry that was at the same time exciting and frightening. The economic reforms, although implemented in graded installments, had a ready response, matched with good business sense. They made an impact on several fronts, not the least important one being the increasing interest and confidence in other countries to partner Indian businesses for mutual benefit. On the other hand, there were the obvious difficulties of growing too suddenly, too
fast and, as some observers felt, too late. The rapidity of growth carried the distinct possibility of growing recklessly rather than responsibly. …

IIMB Management Review

There have been some very interesting books in the recent past on the small industry. With competition increasing and protection for various sectors being selectively removed, it is time that we looked at some sectors which have been accorded protection in the past - like co-operatives and small industries- and see how they have been performing. It is also important for us to get some insights into recent research and practice in these sectors. In this
context, K C Nanda's book raises our level of expectation. However as one reads through the pages and pages of casual conclusions and off-the-cuff …

Credit Scoring For Microfinance: Can It Work?, Mark Schreiner Sep 2000

Credit Scoring For Microfinance: Can It Work?, Mark Schreiner

Journal of Microfinance / ESR Review

In rich countries, lenders often rely on credit scoring--formulae to predict risk based on the performance of past loans with characteristics similar to current loans--to inform decisions. Can credit scoring do the same for microfinance lenders in poor countries? This paper argues that scoring does have a place in microfinance. Although scoring is less powerful in poor countries than in rich countries, and although scoring will not replace the personal knowledge of character of loan officers or of loan groups, scoring can improve estimates of risk. Thus, scoring complements--but does not replace--current microfinance technologies. Furthermore, the derivation of the scoring …
