Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an important biography of Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of India’s biggest business house, Reliance.

This book analyzes and presents these lessons in a highly coherent style.

Download or read book Demystifying Leadership written by Asha Kaul and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can leadership lessons be learnt from the Mahabharata? Demystifying Leadership positively asserts that we can and probes inquiry in the lives of six characters-Bhishma, Ashvatthama, Karna, Shakuni, Kunti and Krishna. It studies these characters in inescapable situations as they navigate through life by demonstrating values, decision-making ability, integrity and principles. Within the given constraints, some of these characters swim and rise, while others sink in moral turpitude. Extrapolating these successful and not-so-successful character traits to corporate leaders and linking them to scholarship, the authors provide lessons for leaders and managers operating in diverse situations. Borrowing from different disciplines, such as literature, philosophy, politics and psychology, Demystifying Leadership proposes to link essentials of leadership in the form of a Leadership Triangle comprising six levels: positive personality, peace with personal identity, purpose, positive use of power and politics, paradoxical leadership and principled pragmatism. It takes a grounded approach in amalgamating mythology and leadership through scholarship and practice.

Download or read book GAS WARS written by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta and published by Paranjoy Guha Thakurta. This book was released on 2014-03-30 with total page 651 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prime minister of India Manmohan Singh has been accused of changing ministerial portfolios at the behest of the Reliance group. There have been claims that the group deliberately ‘squatted’ on reserves of natural gas and curtailed production in anticipation of higher prices that are administered by the government, to the detriment of the interests of the country’s people. Spokespersons of the group deny these alligations and contend that gas output from the Krishna-Godavari basin came down on account of unforeseen adverse geological surprises. Sections within the Indian government do not buy these arguments. The Comptroller and Auditor General of India has alleged, among other things, that the contract between the government and Reliance Industries Limited is deeply flawed, thereby encouraging excessive capital expenditure and lowering potential benefits to the exchequer. With painstaking research, a meticulous perusal of press reports, as well as a few surprising exclusives, Gas Wars highlights cases of crony capitalism that allowed the Reliance group to blatantly exploit loopholes which were consciously retained in the system to benefit it. The book points out how, even when laws and policies appeared fair, rational, and reasonable, the way in which these rules and procedures were framed and implemented by bureaucrats acting at the behest of their political masters exposed the deep nexus between business and politics in India. Even as Gas Wars tells the story of how a corporate conglomerate, in this case the country’s largest, has benefited from the way government policies are structured, it lays bare the alarming facts of a natural disaster waiting to happen due to the ruthless exploitation of the country’s natural resources in order to swell the fortunes of a few. The book also highlights the examples of those within the government establishment who have refused to be intimidated by the rich and the powerful, and who have against all odds valiantly attempted to uphold the interests of the people of India.

Download or read book Real Leaders Negotiate written by Jeswald W. Salacuse and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the central role of negotiation in gaining, exercising, and retaining leadership within organizations, large and small, public and private. Its aim is to instruct readers on the way to use negotiation to lead effectively. For far too long conventional wisdom has proposed that strong leaders refuse to negotiate, viewing negotiation as a sign of weakness. Leading people requires charisma, vision, and a commanding presence, not the tricks for making deals. For many executives, negotiation is a tool to use outside the organization to deal with customers, suppliers, and creditors. Inside the organization, it’s strictly “my way or the highway.” Salacuse explains that leaders can increase their effectiveness by using negotiation in each of the three phases of the leadership lifecycle: 1) leadership attainment, 2) leadership action; and 3) leadership preservation and loss. Drawing on experience in wide variety of settings, including the author’s own leadership positions, the book will examine high profile leadership cases such as the rise and fall of Carly Fiorina at Hewlett-Packard, the skillful negotiations by Warren Buffet to save Salomon Brothers from extinction, and the successful efforts by the partners at Goldman Sachs to negotiate a new vision and direction for that financial giant. Leaders and managers should pick up this book to learn how effective negotiation is essential to both gaining and exercising leadership and to overcoming threats to a leader’s position.

Did mother Kokilaben play a role in bringing about a 'truce' between her two sons? How was the war between Mukesh and Anil fought? Why does the fight continue today even after the 'truce' between the two brothers?

Download or read book Letters to the Editor 1997 2014 written by Nagindas Khajuria and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-02-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I have known Nagindas for more than 32 years. When I first met him in the early 1980s I was a newly qualified accountant, and Nagindas had already been in practice for more than 15 years. At the time he had just returned from a stint of work in the Middle East, and since I was contemplating going to the Middle East for work also, he was a source of much advice and guidance, and indeed, he was a kind of role model to me—he inspired me to achieve his level of attainment. Since I returned to the UK in the early 2000s, Nagindas has acted as my accountant (as I have moved away from the world of accounting and auditing). The last 15 years has been the time when I have come to know Nagindas at a much closer, professional and personal, level. Professionally, I would say that he is a competent and thorough accountant with integrity and always has the best interests of his clients at heart. I have found that he does not panic in crisis situations—his approach to crisis management is to always act in a cool and calm manner. On any particular aspect involving accounting, auditing or taxation matter, he first develops deep understanding of the subject matter—he does not comment until he has all the facts—and when he does, he goes to the ‘crux of the matter’—this is reflected in one of the companies he has set up At a personal level—Nagindas is approachable and jovial—and humorous at times—many a times I can think of examples where his particular take on a matter was accompanied by humorous anecdotes which made a lot of sense and captured the essence of the subject or idea being discussed. I personally think this is reflected in some of the 'Letters to the Editor' that he has written to newspapers over the last decade and a half.” Shailesh Khajuria Markets & International Banking RBS

Download or read book The Polyester Prince written by Hamish McDonald and published by Allen & Unwin Academic. This book was released on 1998 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dhirubhai Ambani's life is a rags-to-riches story, from Bombay's crowded pavements and bazaars to the city's extravagantly wealthy social circles where business tycoons, stockmarket speculators, smugglers, politicians and Hindi film stars mingle, make money, make and break marriages and carry out prolonged feuds. This is the story of a rising capitalist group in post-independence India. Until the arrival of Ambani, and now more like him, India's big business scene was dominated by a few industrial houses from British times. Ambani's Reliance group has risen to rival these houses in just 26 years since its foundation. By 1995, the group had 2.6 million investors, one in every eight Indian sharemarket investors, and is now so large that it has to hold its annual general meetings in football stadiums. Along with expansion, however, have come the intricate political connections, a whole raft of corruption charges and a rollercoaster of booms and crashes for Ambani and his company. This study shows how capitalism emerges by fair means and foul in the new industrial countries of the Third World and explores the life of an Asian tycoon.

Book excerpt: Empire. Trade. Religion. Three crucial forces that have been almost equally responsible for shaping human civilization so far. Yet, the politics of empire has dominated history and popular discussion. Irrespective of the political upheavals, however, India has always been an open market-welcoming traders from far-off lands, promising them a fair bargain. Indian entrepreneurs since ages had developed their own sophisticated institutions and wide community-based networks. This open, liberal and robust 'bazaar economy' thrived unhindered till the advent of European trading companies, who brought with them the notions of monopoly and state controls. Business in India blossomed in tune with liberal religious thought and Indian intellectual tradition always fostered the spirit of questioning. Laxminana is an account of how the country's open market and its liberal religious outlook have nurtured each other throughout the centuries. Told through a medley of stories, this is the saga of India's socioeconomic power that has characterized not only the country's vibrant pluralistic society but also much of global history. An untold narrative of India's geographies, products and pioneers this is an unforgettable album of heroes, who championed game-changing ideas at the intersection of faith and enterprise.
