Business And Ethics, Narender Dhand
Business And Ethics, Narender Dhand
IIMB Management Review
Short cuts in earning wealth and a preoccupation with business growth to the neglect of other elements, inevitably spell grief, so believes Narender Dhand, Founder, Chairman and MD of Micromatic Grinding Technologies, a company which began as a ‘modest tool room’ and now occupies a dominant position in the Indian machine tool industry. Before dealing with ‘external’ ethics, Dhand believes in putting his own house in order. At the foundation of the core values of MGT is the commitment to ethical business practices with a people focus. The MGT culture is operationalised in their scrupulously honest dealings with the authorities, …

Consulting Demons : Inside The Unscrupulotls World Of Global Corporate Consulting By Lewis Pinault, New York, Harper Business, 2000, Price : $26; Rs 940., Rishikesha T Krishnan
IIMB Management Review
This irreverent and perhaps slightly exaggerated account of the world of global consulting has behind it some sharp insights into a highly sought-after industry. Having worked in a range of consulting firms - from the strategy- and idea-driven Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to the more conservative and thorough Coopers & Lybrand (now Price Waterhouse Coopers) -Lewis Pinault has a range of experiences to offer and he does so in an engaging and easy-to-read manner. The book reads like a thriller, but every chapter ends with a section titled ' consulting demonology in which the author distil the learnings from his …

Variations In Organization Science : In Honor Of Donald T Campbell Edited By Joel A C Baum And Bill Mckelvey, Sage, 1999, Pp 452, Price: $ 39. 95., Abhoy K Ojha
IIMB Management Review
Organisation science, as a field of study, is relatively young. Although the study of human behaviour has a long history, and studies examining human behaviour in organisations were prevalent in the early twentieth century, the field as we know it today has emerged after World War II, particularly during the 1960s. As a result, like any other discipline in its early stages of evolution, organisation science has many competing paradigms jostling for dominance. Organisational ecology (also known as population ecology) is one of the few paradigms that have had a significant influence on the knowledge of organisations.
Organisational Orchestra : Structures And Processes Interface, Neelesh Hundekari
Organisational Orchestra : Structures And Processes Interface, Neelesh Hundekari
IIMB Management Review
Organisational structures do not exist in isolation. They presume, depend on, and influence several organisational variables. These include processes (communication, goal setting, conflict resolution, socialisation, leadership building, strategic planning, supporting, team working), behaviour, values, rituals, climate, authority (with which the role holders are imbued) and people (competence, confidence, interpersonal skills, leadership, perceptions about
others). Structure designers tend to ignore this vital reciprocal relationship quite often, leading to ineffective structures and unhappy human beings. An attempt has been made in this article to map the relationship between
organisational structures and processes.
Ownership Patterns And Corporate Performance, Jinesh Panchali
Ownership Patterns And Corporate Performance, Jinesh Panchali
IIMB Management Review
Corporates have emerged as vital economic institutions for growth, commanding a large proportion of social resources. Hence, they are, like the State, answerable to society for the efficient use of resources. Corporate governance is the social, legal, and economic process through which companies function and are held accountable1 . The structure of corporate ownership has a major impact on the way companies are managed and controlled. An attempt has been made here to explore ownership structure in India and abroad and to empirically analyse corporate performance in the Indian context, at various levels of ownership across ownership categories.

A Scientist’S Tools For Business: Metaphors And Modes Of Thought By Robert L Sproull, London: Universities Press, 1999., Swaminathan Subramaniam
IIMB Management Review
The purpose of this book as stated on the back cover is to ‘illustrate and explain the connection between everyday business problems and the tools and modes of thought of the scientist’. While enough has been written about how business principles can (and must) be applied for successful commercial R&D, there is very little written about how an understanding of common scientific principles can help business-persons.

Application Of Or To Management Practice: An Introduction, H K Lakshman Rao
IIMB Management Review
Customer dissatisfaction with products and services, long queues at hospitals and railway stations, stock out/excess stock situations, overflowing solid waste bins at street corners, delayed deliveries and time lag in new product development, steeply increasing project costs, high rates of wastage in the manufacturing process these are among the numerous instances indicating the lack of systems approach and inadequate appreciation of Operations Research (OR) methods in the Indian management and administrative network scenario.

Crafting The Strategy: Concepts And Cases In Sategic Management By Ranjan Das, New Delhi: Tata Mcgraw Hill, 2000., S D Kshirsagar
IIMB Management Review
This quotation summarises aptly the dichotomy of approaches to strategy as an encompassing concept and to its implementation in a business. If strategy is a science in all its facets, its descriptive or normative theories could be applied to a business situation. Seminal contributions in this respect made by H Igor Ansoff, Kenneth R Andrews and others, established that ‘sustained performance’ is determined by a firm’s ability to find a fit among its intrinsic capabilities, the environmental factors, and the strategy it adopts. In this sense, strategy is not only contextual but also resource specific. It is, therefore, dynamic and …

Applications Of Or In The Indian Context, R Sankar, Muthulingam Suresh
IIMB Management Review
Operations Research (OR) originated in England during World War II. The first applications aimed at improving the operational efficiency of the radar defence systems deployed by the Royal Air Force. Very soon thereafter, OR methods and techniques were applied successfully to the resolution of complex industrial and commercial problems in areas such as scheduling, inventory management, strategic planning, resource allocation and transportation.
The Leader’S Shadow: Exploration And Development Of Executive Character By William Q Judge, New Delhi: Sage Publications, 1999., V Uberoy
IIMB Management Review
The subject of the book and its introduction by the author touch upon a very crucial and much ignored aspect of leadership development. It deals with the inner core of the individual-what the author calls, quoting Jung, ‘complementary internal aspects of leadership’ and ‘shadows’ or the hidden parts of the inner self. This is in sharp contrast to much of the literature, where stress is laid solely on the development of outward behaviour and styles of a leader, in isolation from the character qualities. The book therefore arouses much interest and anticipation in the reader who hopes to discover ways …

The book under review takes off by building a behavioural model of charismatic leadership. The model goes through three stages. In Stage 1, sensitivity to environments urg es the lead e r to change the status quo. Stage 2
pertains to the development and projection of vision , which he effectively articulates in a n idealised form. Vi s ioning has been considered as a core e element in charis m at ic leadership. In Stage 3, a …
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. …
