IIMB Management Review
Part of being a good manager is being aware of the moral dimensions of one's role in the network and in the organisation. Managers can unwittingly engage in a wide range of role-related acts that are ethically questionable.

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.

Managing A Microcosm Of India, J Ramachandran
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
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.
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
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.
The Feminine Leader, Fran Siemensma
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

IIMB Management Review
Life will never be the same in the new millennium. Even more so in the case of advertising and public relations. All the rules of marketing and distribution of goods and services are being rewritten, what with the advent of sophisticated information and communication technologies on the one hand, and on the other the insatiable demands of customers and the everlasting quest of vendors to achieve cost economies in reaching their goods and services to the users. Round Table this time looks at some of these issues and suggests some leads. Anchored by Tara Sinha and Mithileshwar Jha, and with …

Road Map To Transformational Leadership, Asha Bhandarkar, Pritam Singh
Road Map To Transformational Leadership, Asha Bhandarkar, Pritam Singh
IIMB Management Review
The search for role models expresses not only the deep rooted desire to follow, but also the inherent desire to lead. The need for great heroes and transforming leaders like Gandhi and Mandela is felt much more strongly in the contemporary world. The model of leadership in existing literature has been used primarily to depict the process of managing rather than the process of transforming and leading. Asha Bhandarkar and Pritam Singh arrive at blueprints for leadership by studying the lives and work of transformational leaders

Extending The Effectiveness Of Service Mapping, John Bicheno, M R Gopalan, V S Mahesh
IIMB Management Review
In most organisations that offer either a service or a product service bundle to the market, much time is spent on resolving an apparent conflict of interests between achievement of external effectiveness and internal efficiencies in the preparation and delivery of service. Bicheno, Gopalan and Mahesh contend that this apparent conflict can be resolved to a great extent if due care is taken in the use of appropriate tools. They review existing service mapping tools and extensions like Information flow, the Kano model and Failsafing which can be successfully used with existing models. They also propose exploratory extensions using the …

Outbound Mileage, Vijay Padaki, M R Venkatesh
IIMB Management Review
The Indian experience with Outbound Programmes has clearly been a mixed one.With the initial euphoria passing over,managements are beginning to wonder if management development is getting to be more and more like branded potato chips - puffed up and pricey but the same old stuff inside. Indeed there is every possibility of the Outbound Programme going the way of all other bandwagons: into the clearance sale shelves of the management supermarket. Padaki and Venkatesh attempt to demystify Outbound Programmes (OP) and provide guidelines to organisations contemplating OP, on how to prepare for a worthwhile OP experience, what to look for …

Programmes at MTI have attracted participants from other industries in the public sector and in the near future, participation from the private sector is expected.

Developing Leadership Through Self-Empowerment, Anup K Singh
Developing Leadership Through Self-Empowerment, Anup K Singh
IIMB Management Review
Leadership is probably the most desirable managerial attribute but one that is seriously lacking in most organisations. While managers do a good job of maintaining and sustaining existing organisational systems, they fail to steer innovation and transformational change. Today, while the literature on the subject helps managers appreciate the dynamics of leadership, it is short on insights on how to develop oneself as an effective leader of people. Beginning with the nature of leadership and various approaches to leadership development, Anup Singh emphasises the primacy of selfempowerment and self-reprogramming in realising one's leadership potential and presents certain techniques that can …
Managing The Virtual Corporation, Colin J Coulson Thomas
Managing The Virtual Corporation, Colin J Coulson Thomas
IIMB Management Review
With companies today increasingly becoming networks and with the growth of outsourcing, teleworking and electronic commerce, work is being undertaken by multi-functional teams and project groups whose members are based in different places. These 'virtual' teams are held together by shared visions and values, common opportunities, and compatible goals and beliefs. While Coulson-Thomas is enthusiastic about the possibilities of the virtual organisation, he draws attention to potential pitfalls and underscores the need to think through aspects such as the stability of virtual relationships, protection of intellectual property, and the development of a common code.

IIMB Management Review
Business graduates, especially from premier institutes of management, have long been wooed by all sectors of industry and business alike. By and large, they have the reputation of being the star performers of their organisations. Have business graduates lived up to their promise? How far has their education equipped them to face the challenges of the actual business environment? How have they coped with and geared up to the post globalisation and liberalisation scenario? How confident are they of managing organisations creatively, of dealing with tasks as wide ranging as interfacing sensitively with customers and putting processes in place? Bringing …
