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.
The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar
The Quality Movement And Organisation Theory By Robert E Cole And W. Richard Scott, New Delhi: Sage, 2000., Vijay G Vancheswar
IIMB Management Review
The Quality Movement and Organisation Theory is different from most books on quality on two main counts. Firstly, it successfully addresses the issues of organisational change and emerging management practices, and their impact on Total Quality Management (TQM). Secondly, the concepts and findings detailed in the book combine the strengths of academic research studies on TQM and the vast experience of executives from leading organisations. Though focused primarily on the practices of TQM in the US, the book is exhaustive in its treatment of the subject. Starting with a lucid introduction to the quality movement and its linkages with issues …

Charismatic Authority And The Board Of The Hull House Association, 1895-1935, Roger A. Lohmann
Charismatic Authority And The Board Of The Hull House Association, 1895-1935, Roger A. Lohmann
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Discussions of boards in the third sector literature usually proceed from assumptions grounded in Weber’s rational-legal authority and international management principles like those of Henri Fayol. The generalizations made about boards are based on rational-legal views of the board as the principal governing body of a nonprofit organization. Much less frequently examined are the roles and functions of boards in organizations grounded in other forms of authority. In particular, the relationship between charismatic authority and boards has seldom been studied. This paper will examine the role of one such board, the Board of Trustees of the Hull House Association through …
Organisational Development Revisited, Vijay Padaki
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 …
