So, would this book reveal the secret recipe of getting into IIMs or is it some kind of cheat code to achieve success? This book takes you beyond your coaching or training institute boundaries! "We have heard many times that "Luck favors the prepared mind" and this book provides students the opportunity to become prepared and hence luckier in life." Prof. (Dr.) Pavan Mamidi, Former Professor IIM A, Oxford(Ph.d), Harvard(LLM) "Having been a reject of IIM-A myself, I set out on a dream to achieve this tag for whatever it might take. Maybe if I had The Black Book then, it would not have taken me so long to accomplish my goals!" Sh. Parag Shah, Founder Director & Chairman, FLAME University, Author 'Antar Prerna' The main purpose of this book is to eliminate what I call this 'Information Arbitrage' used by few students to get undue advantage while securing a good job or otherwise. Much has been written about how to crack the best B-Schools entrance exams and get admission into the campus of your choice. However, nothing has been written about what is expected from them before entering the campus and how to utilize the next two years, fruitfully. This book tells you exactly that! 'The Black Book, ' tells you much more than just entering the Business school of your choice. This book is a culmination of all practical things you should know while pursuing your two most crucial years in a B-School. Right from explaining the modules, to smart hacks, to even finding the apt working or life partner, this book is for keeps for anyone wanting to make the most of their last two years as a student"

In management, we continue to take many things for granted and not question the ‘unthought, unexplained knowns’. Why are women under-represented in parliament and in several corporate boards?

Mathur has designed an exciting, new course titled ‘Mysteries in Management’ for the flagship MBA (PGP) programme at IIM Ahmedabad, in which selected mysteries that continue to persist in the field of management are discussed. This book includes ten carefully selected mysteries and the author, armed with credible research and revealing examples, tries to demystify them.

This book is the story of IIMA - its conception, its distinctive governance structure and its unique culture - and how a highly gifted man created the conditions for its enduring success. It is an exploration of the vision and dedicated effort that made IIMA what it is today, a pioneer in management education in India.

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.
