Liberalisation And Human Resource Management: Challenges For The Corporations Of Tomorrow: By Arun Monappa And Mahrukh Engineer, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., Sanjib Kumar Hota Jun 2000

Liberalisation And Human Resource Management: Challenges For The Corporations Of Tomorrow: By Arun Monappa And Mahrukh Engineer, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., Sanjib Kumar Hota

IIMB Management Review

The book under review is an attempt to assess the role of human resource management in both public and private sector corporations in coping with liberalisation in India. Through a survey of CEOs and senior professionals in 22 Indian corporations, Monappa and Engineer have assessed the impact of liberalisation and discussed the paradigms and techniques of human resource management for managing the change effectively. They also highlight the need for reframing the worker-management relationship or human resource policies by Indian companies in view of the new HR paradigms. Finally, the authors examine the impact of enabling technology on the organisations …

Leading With Knowledge: The Nature Of Competition In The 21st Century: By Richard C Huseman And Jon P Goodman, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1998., Neelesh Hundekari

IIMB Management Review

Readers who pick up any book on knowledge management, intellectual capital or the learning organisation, approach it with a single objective: what does it mean and how do I implement it? The success or otherwise of any such book, therefore, will to a large extent depend on how well it answers these questions. Huseman and Goodman have done a singularly comprehensive job of answering these questions with conceptual clarity and practical implementability.

Entrepreneurial Strategies And Policies: The Innovator’S Choice: By Mathew J Manimala, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999, Rajnish Karki Jun 2000

Entrepreneurial Strategies And Policies: The Innovator’S Choice: By Mathew J Manimala, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999, Rajnish Karki

IIMB Management Review

The book is an original and comprehensive work of research on entrepreneurship. It is an important contribution on the subject, and the work is certainly among the most rigorous management research done in India. The research departs from conventional research on entrepreneurship in two significant ways one, it focuses on the question of ‘what entrepreneurs do’ rather than on ‘what entrepreneurs are’ two, it empirically tests an existing typology of entrepreneurs. The case survey methodology, though not very common in management research, brings quantitative rigour to a work based on qualitative data.

Vulnerability Analysis: A Tool For Survival, S D Kshirsagar

IIMB Management Review

Managers are often reluctant to tread the unknown path. They do not even try to foresee the unknown. But what you do not foresee can hurt you, and refusing to anticipate the future may lead to major problems and even extinction.

Organisational Development Revisited, Vijay Padaki Jun 2000

Organisational Development Revisited, Vijay Padaki

IIMB Management Review

The liberalisation in the Indian economic environment in the 90s has been accompanied by a quiet but firm demand for better management in all spheres of work. The liberalisation process has also opened up the marketplace for all kinds of goods and services, not excluding packaged management systems. We can expect a lot of management being marketed in the new dispensation more suppliers, more products, more brands, more aggressive selling and, lest we forget, more dumping. The consumer needs help in the supermarket to make informed choices. In the management bazaar, too, the consumer could do with some guidance.

Evaluative Inquiry For Learning In Organizations: By Hallie Preskill And Rosalie T. Torres, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., Lakshmanan Prasad

IIMB Management Review

As a Professor of Organisational Behaviour, I frequently meet persons doing surveys in their organisations on employee attitudes, satisfaction, and so on. Because of their lack of experience, these are usually not very well executed. The questionnaires used to collect data are generally inadequate, making it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions. By the time they approach me after the fact, it is too late to rectify matters. Therefore, I have often wished to recommend a book that could help individuals who would like to do their own surveys and interventions in their organisations. This book by Preskill and Torres should …

Managing A Microcosm Of India, J Ramachandran Jun 2000

Managing A Microcosm Of India, J Ramachandran

IIMB Management Review

The Tata Group, involved in diverse sectors ranging from automotives and engineering products to energy and consumer products, is held together by its common pursuit of improving the quality of life of people. The Group accomplishes this by targeting sectors that impact the national economy. Jamsetji started a steel plant because he said India must have steel. There was a bit of pioneering, patriotism and philanthropy, and of course profits all P’s by the way. In the same way, the Tata Group went into hotels, chemicals and automobiles. The Tata Group is all about leadership with trust in chosen areas …

Managing From The Heart: Unfolding Spirit In People And Organizations: By Arun Wakhlu, New Delhi: Response Books, 1999., C Manohar Reddy

IIMB Management Review

For long, books on management have focused primarily on knowledge, skills and performance and have not shown much concern for the soul or the well-being of the people and society at large. Most HRD professionals and management trainers, caught in the paradigm of scienticism, have shied away from addressing the issues of the soul and the spirit in spite of the silent cry of many managers and other members of organisations seeking ways of integrating the spirit with work.

Psychology For Trainers: By Alison Hardingham, London: Universities Press, 1999, Vasanthi Srinivasan

IIMB Management Review

Trainer effectiveness is a critical dimension in successful training programmes. In recent times, a number of self-help and how-to books have tried to address some aspects of trainer effectiveness. The University Press series on ‘training essentials’ is an addition to the subject. The books in the series written by experts are intended to act as core readings for trainers who wish to obtain competency in the area of training. The current book differs from the other books in the series mainly in the emphasis. While most of the other books focus on the training function in the organisation (as evident …

Corporate Strategies: A Comprehensive Handbook Based On Indian Experience: By Bani P Banerjee, New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 1998., K R S Murthy

IIMB Management Review

These are two very different, but complementary, books on strategy. Strategy is a term used widely with different meanings and in different contexts. It is often also used with various prefixes and suffixes, as in these two books. The basic notion of strategy underlying the two books, and therefore their approaches, differ, and it is important to understand the bias of the authors to be able to use the books properly.

Corporate Citizenship – Convergence In Corporate Governance?, Vikram Rajaram Jun 2000

Corporate Citizenship – Convergence In Corporate Governance?, Vikram Rajaram

IIMB Management Review

In an almost seamless manner good corporate governance is seen to include corporate citizenship and, through an extension of good citizenship - corporate philanthropy. Corporate India seems to have accepted the nexus between the creation of wealth and the distribution of wealth. In the same manner that recommended corporate governance practices of yesteryear have now been enshrined in statutes, it is probably a portent of things to come that what constitutes good corporate Round Table 90 citizenship today will, with the passage of time, be decreed by law.

Successful Sales Management: By Grant Stewart, London: Universities Press, 1999., S Ramesh Kumar Jun 2000

Successful Sales Management: By Grant Stewart, London: Universities Press, 1999., S Ramesh Kumar

IIMB Management Review

Any book aimed at the practitioner of sales/marketing should not give an impression that it is written by either a knowledge creating high-priest of academic concepts or by a guru of jargon who is in the business of making simple things complex. Grant Stewart certainly qualifies as an author who believes in the power of simplicity. While the author’s targeted audience for the book includes marketing managers in the higher echelons of the corporate hierarchy, the book will probably be useful to sales managers or senior sales executives who are on the threshold of assuming higher responsibilities in the area …

The Feminine Leader, Fran Siemensma Jun 2000

The Feminine Leader, Fran Siemensma

IIMB Management Review

An increasing number of management writers exploring leadership are promoting a more feminine paradigm of leadership as a means of encouraging business to become both more inclusive and more appropriately responsive. In this context feminine does not describe gender, but is being increasingly used as shorthand for a more human, holistic and inclusive model of leadership. Among these writers is Amanda Sinclair, who has strongly criticised Australian management for assuming that a leader will be ‘the heroicmale’

Corporate Governance, Reputation And Competitive Credibility, N Balasubramanian, David Kimber

IIMB Management Review

The decade of the 1990s has perhaps seen the most profound changes in global economic structures. The effects of structural adjustment and globalisation, and the emergence of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) have meant that the role of business has dramatically changed throughout the world. Statistics of the number of corporations that are larger than nation states abound and only illustrate the importance of the corporate sector and its impact on the world order

Privatisation In India: Concerns And Methods, Subhashish Gupta, N S Venkatesh Jun 2000

Privatisation In India: Concerns And Methods, Subhashish Gupta, N S Venkatesh

IIMB Management Review

The recent past has seen a spurt of proposals regarding privatisation. The most famous has been the Kelkar proposal, which was almost immediately countered by a proposal from the chairman of the Disinvestment Commission (DC), G V Ramakrishna, for the setting up of a National Shareholding Trust. In between, the Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry had come up with its own proposal regarding disinvestment. These proposals sparked off a debate regarding the privatisation process and brought into focus the issues and concerns regarding privatisation in India

Power And Influence In Organizations: Edited By Roderick M Kramer And Margaret A Neale, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1998., Abhoy K Ojha

IIMB Management Review

Power and Influence in Organizations examines the role of social influence in organisations. It is a compilation of edited versions of papers presented at a conference at Stanford University. Unlike some other collections of essays from conferences that are subsequently released as books, the articles in this volume display a very high degree of academic depth and rigour. Most, if not all, articles could easily meet the requirements of the refereeing process of a premier journal in the field of organisational studies.

Performance Improvement In International Environments: Designing Individual Performance Interventions To Fit National Cultures, Carol M. Sanchez Jun 2000

Performance Improvement In International Environments: Designing Individual Performance Interventions To Fit National Cultures, Carol M. Sanchez

Peer Reviewed Articles

This article examines how internationalization might affect the design of individual performance improvement approaches in organizations. It begins by examining knowledge that has been learned principally from the North American context of what improves an individual's performance. Then, we discuss motivators, attitudes. and behaviors of workers and how they may vary among workers in different national cultural contexts. In short, we examine individual performance improvement for its cross‐border effectiveness, using various models of national cultural differences. By doing this, we hope to provide an understanding of how performance improvement systems might require modification to fit with non‐North American work environments.
