Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha Oct 1998

Rethinking Rewards: Rewarding A And Hoping For B!, Abhoy K Ojha

IIMB Management Review

It would seem to be well established wisdom that if a particular behaviour is desired, that should be rewarded rather than any other behaviour. Based on a case study of two hospitals in a Canadian province, Abhoy Ojha concludes that in situations where it may not be practical to reward the desired behaviour, a related behaviour could be rewarded in order to elicit the behaviour desired. An adequate understanding of the complex relationship between rewards and behaviour may allow organisations to design systems that are seen to encourage one behaviour, but also elicit multiple other desirable behaviours.

Attracting And Retaining Talent : A Managerial Challenge, Y Sriram, Abhijit Bhaduri

IIMB Management Review

Getting the right person for the right job and retaining him/her is a challenge all organisations face. What are the strategies evolved by organisations to attract and retain talented manpower, across different levels and functions? How do attractive compensation schemes and 'golden handcuffs' rate against providing learning opportunities and a work culture that promotes creativity? Where do the old fashioned virtues of loyalty, honesty and hard work stand? Are some organisations more successful in nurturing their employees in line with their vision? What can be done to counter the flight of talent? These were some of the issues which came …

Reclaiming Higher Ground: Creating Organisations That Inspire The Soul By Lance H K Secretan, Sage Publications, 1996., Nina Jacob

IIMB Management Review

In the introduction, Secretan writes : “We cannot continue to separate the three components of Heart, Mind, and Bottom Line if we wish to develop high performance individuals and organisations and make work fun again. Only by integrating all three can we help people evolve at the personal level, thus empowering hem to create  enlightened teams and therefore transform their organisations. Through this integration, we can create organisations that inspire the soul and therefore the planet.” He cites a plethora of cases to bear this observation out.


Governing Corporate Governance, S Raghunath Dec 1996

Governing Corporate Governance, S Raghunath

IIMB Management Review

Interest in corporate governance has increased dramatically in recent months, spurred by the increased activism of regulatory bodies, the rise of the institutional investor, the takeover moves in the corporate world and the advent of investigative reporting in business journalism. The question is whether inherited governance structures and conventions remain appropriate and what can be done to make them effective. Problems arise because of ineffective governance and the myopic view of the market. Companies chronically underperform because management is too responsive to short term pressures to increase profits. Understanding what affects the quality of corporate governance requires a careful consideration …

Delayering Organisation Structure, Nina Jacob, V S Mahesh, N M Agrawal Mar 1996

Delayering Organisation Structure, Nina Jacob, V S Mahesh, N M Agrawal

IIMB Management Review

Delayering as a tool for organisational re-structuring has been a concern of both theorists and practitioners for some years now, but analyses of the literature have been inconclusive with respect to its impact on actual performance. Delayering has been conceptualised as the process of removing specific levels from the existing hierarchy of an organisation. The result is a flattening of the organisation’s vertical boundaries, affecting such traditional structural manifestations of hierarchy as span of control, chain of command, and limits of authority.

A Comparative Analysis Of Organisation Health-Care Machinery In Hospital: Doctoral Dissertation Abstract, J P Sahu Jun 1992

A Comparative Analysis Of Organisation Health-Care Machinery In Hospital: Doctoral Dissertation Abstract, J P Sahu

IIMB Management Review

Health Care Services are significant in providing social justice and equal life opportunities to individuals in the society. The health care system of today, is evoking criticism from various corners, for its rising costs due to introduction of expensive sophisticated technology, maldistribution, dehumanisation and heavy bureaucratisation, etc. This is particularly true for the developing countries where on one hand, increasing population and ever changing disease patterns (due to developing activities like agriculture, irrigation, mining and industrialisation, etc.) and growing expectations of the people (due to increase in education and communication) on the other, exert further pressure on the limited health …
