SCHIZOPHRENIA
Impact on Customer Service Quality
Gopal K Gureja
More than two decades down the line the customers find yawning gaps
between what many companies promise as a matter of policy and what,
in customers perception, is actually delivered at the operating level.
The experience shows that this is not an uncommon phenomenon.
Supported by substantial empirical research and the VOICES of the
customer contact employees, the book explores the reasons why, in a
company: Practice departs from policy; Employee engagement goes
down; Responsiveness becomes arbitrary; Organizational schizophrenia
creeps in; Behaviour becomes unpredictable and; Mission Statements
begin to turn into mere posters?

GENDER STEREOTYPES IN CORPORATE
INDIA
A Glimpse
Sujoya Basu Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta
The effort is laudatory. This has never been attempted in India
and Basu should get due credit for her effort in clearing out the
cobwebs regarding gender stereotypes in Indian corporations.
This book bridges the gap that exists in the Indian gender
management scenario. This book will help corporates manage
their human resources in a dignified and humane manner, giving
equal respect to both genders.

wide view; It stresses information systems as a whole, not just software
development; It gives a truly international view of the domain; Globalization
has ensured that most projects take on an international dimension; The
book provides a coherent explanation of the concerns of the project
manager as the project develops through its life cycle; Each chapter has
the following consistent structure: an introduction and outline, an exhibit,
the main text with examples, a chapter summary, exercises, discussion
questions, an interview with a project manager, and an appendix.

CORPORATE CHAMPIONS
Excellent Companies of India
B Karunakar Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies,
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India
The year 1991 was a turning point in the history of the Indian
economy.
Liberalization saw a tremendous increase in competition from
multinationals in almost all industrial sectors. This book examines how
a few Good Indian companies became Excellent by withstanding
the onslaught of competitive pressures and flourishing despite a fast-
changing and unpredictable economic environment.
Distilling vast amounts of data on 23 Indian companies belonging to
a range of industries, the book draws out the factors that made them
achieve business excellence. The author uses a three-tier filtering
process with increasingly strict criteria for narrowing down from the initial
144 companies to the 23 researched cases, and then to the final seven
exceptional organizations. In the quest to find the answer to what made
these companies perform exceptionally, the author proposes a business
model based on strategy, execution excellence and leadership, which
provides a compelling explanation for the superlative performance of
these outstanding companies.

STRATEGIC THINKING
Explorations around Conflict and Cooperation
Biswatosh Saha Indian Institute of Management, Kolkata, India,
Parthasarathi Banerjee National Institute of Science, Technology
and Development Studies, New Delhi, India and Ram Kumar
Kakani XLRI School of Management, Jamshedpur, India
Strategic Thinking provides an interpretation of strategy around an
actor rather than an organization. It views strategic action as being
executed in a milieu populated by power holders, where the individual
strategist actor holds centre stage, and where pursuits are obstructed
by the countervailing threats of other power holders. The authors
explain that the strategic milieu is an intensely governed set-up where
the relations and transactions between the power holders controlling
key assets are under the governance of the current set of rules and
institutions.
The book shows how one can appreciate several contemporary business
practices, especially under increasing returns, by focusing on the
relation between the economics and the governance of an asset.
Cooperation, as opposed to deterrence, informs such strategic acts
under increasing returns.

PENSION REFORM IN INDIA
The unfinished Agenda
Hira Sadhak Advisor (Market and Industry), PriceWaterhouseCoopers

The basic objective of this book is to disseminate information on
emerging challenges of population ageing and recently initiated pension
reform through NPS in India. To understand Indian reforms and probable
gaps it was thought, that experience of some emerging economies
would shed light on the gaps and shortcomings of Indian reforms
and provide further inputs for improvement and strengthening the
Indian reform. It is a comprehensive work on the topic of pensions. The
coverage is excellent since it has discussed domestic and international
experiences on the topic of pensions both under the pension sector and
under the insurance sector. It has discussed not only the current NPS
structure extensively and almost up to date but also the alternative old
age financial security schemes available in the country.

Comprehensive sets of ratios are provided for broad managerial functions
and their sub-divisions like, production, sale and distribution, working
capital, debt-service management, etc. All the ratios are explained and
worked out with live examples.

The book under review has the merit of being authored by
persons who, by virtue of holding senior positions in NABARD
an institution that played a crucial role in expanding and
deepening financial inclusionhave had the advantage of
closely observing and even participating in the process, and
gaining access to the findings of field surveys and the official
data based on them. It not only presents in detail the role played
by the main actors but also draws upon the experiences of
other countries in this regard. The book is highly informative
and should serve as a useful guide to what has been happening
and, more importantly, what needs to be done.

THE GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS

The fact that the authors have had a first-hand understanding
and a ring-side view of Indian policy settings (in different
capacities), and at the same time, the living experience of the
international efforts to deal with the crises is reflected in their
competent and insightful treatment of a most topical theme
that continues to draw both heat and light, and animated
engagement in the public space. Their effort is distinctive in
that it provides an Indian perspective to the subject and fills
an important gap in the swelling literature on the global crisis.
Dr C Rangarajan, Chairman, Economic Advisory Council
to the Prime Minister of India
A significant feature of the book is the analysis of the four facets of the
crisis: (i) genesis, (ii) impact on the world and India, (iii) the response, and
(iv) the aftermath. The objective is to capture the specific aspects of the
onset of the crisis and the policy responses, with particular emphasis
on the sequencing thereof.

IN SEARCH OF CHANGE MAESTROS
Pritam Singh Director General, International Management Institute,
New Delhi and former Director, Management Development Institute
and Asha Bhandarker Management Development Institute, Gurgaon
In Search of Change Maestros attempts at chronicling the
functioning of seven business leaders in the last decade and
a half. The book is not a search as the title says, but a careful
aggregation of milestones and events, based on the somewhat
unusual approach of combining qualitative research and
interviews with employees and juniors. A book like Change
Maestros is a useful addition to bookshelves, particularly if
you want to look back at the bare facts about how some of
India`s most successful corporations and business groups
have evolved.
Business Standard
Gandhi said, Be the change you want to see in the world. In Search of
Change Maestros is a book about leaders who chose to be that change.
In Search of Change Maestros documents the contributions of seven
great Indian wealth creators and institution builders who thought out
of the box and had the vision and fortitude to create world-class Indian
corporations that have set global benchmarks. The compilation includes
case studies of Kumar Mangalam Birla, M. Damodaran, Sajjan Jindal,
K.V. Kamath, Sunil Bharti Mittal, A.M. Naik, and Kiran Mazumdar Shaw.
This book highlights: The personae and leadership styles of the seven
maestros; The growth story and best practices of their corporations;
And, the essential difference that makes the maestros contribution and

CHANGE MANAGEMENT
Altering Mindsets in a Global Context
V Nilakant University of Canterbury, Christchurch and
S Ramnarayan Indian School of Business, Hyderabad and
Director (Change Management), Centre for Good Governance
V Nilakant and S Ramnarayan present a new model for organisational
change that identifies four core tasks crucial to the success of any
change initiative: appreciating change, mobilising support for change,
executing change and building change capability. Change Management
suggests four fundamental ways of altering the mindsets of managers:
tuning to the external environment and people`s mindsets inside the
organisation; influencing and persuading people and strengthening
communication; constructing change initiatives on the basis of cross-
functional collaboration and challenging goals; and creating positive
contexts that enable people to have faith in thier own capabilities.

growth; transformation and decline. Based on the case studies, they
present a model of change that focuses on eight levers of change
value-based leadership, strategy, structure, human resource practices,

HOW SOME SMALL BUSINESSES GET
THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW AND GROW
While Others Remain undistinguished
Shil Niyogi Senior Manager, Californian consulting company
What do Jack Welch (GE), Howard Schultz (Starbucks), and Ray
Kroc (McDonalds) have in common that made their firms grow
beyond excellence?
Is it their vision, their leadership styles, their people-management skills,
or their industry insight? Perhaps the one leading factor is their talent
for transforming these enterprises into star performers and brands to
reckon with. It puts forward a three-pronged framework for success in
business: Procedural; Behavioral; Strategic.

COPING WITH LIFE STRESS
The Indian Experience
Meena Hariharan University of Hyderabad, Hyderabad and
Radhanath Rath Utkal University, Bhubaneswar
In this book, the authors have not only provided the theoretical
underpinning of the phenomenon of stress and coping with it,
but through their analysis of several case-reports drive home
the fact that there cannot be any single unitary global
explanation, as the perception of stress and modalities of coping
with it vary across cultures and societies. Their insights into the
Indian experience are valuable and highly rewarding.
Current Science
Coping with Life Stress provides a new perspective to the theories of
stress and coping. A holistic treatment to these topics, using Indian case
reports and analyses, makes this book unique. Coping with Life Stress
provides several useful theoretical and practical inputs on effective
coping under varying internal and external conditions. The Indian cases
and their pedagogical analysis with contrasts drawn with the western
culture describe the significance of the contribution of culture in coping
strategy.

[The book] makes an important contribution by looking at the
many complexities of integrity, ethical behaviour and good
governance in the Indian contextcontributors to this volume
have done commendable work.A volume such as this was
long overdue and will enhance the level of debate in ethical
conduct in governance, public administration and the judiciary
significantly by making the readers aware of the role of society
and the individual. The collection of articles also presents a
good trigger for debates in ethics and forms a sound basis
for evolving a concept of ethical values for readers interested
in administration. I would also recommend the book to public
libraries and government agencies.
Current Science
This volume is a wake-up call to Indians to shape their country as an
ethical nation. The articles in the compilation have been written by some
of the most eminent thinkers and leaders of India, in various fields, all
of whom are known for their commitment to living and working with
integrity. It addresses the reasons for the absence of honest, ethical
and transparent dealings in all sections of the society, including the
legislative, executive and judicial branches of the government.

SHAPING BUSINESS LEADERS
What B-Schools Dont Do
Asha Bhandarker Management Development Institute, Gurgaon
Traditionally, business leaders were either shaped by business
families or came up the hard way fighting government controls
and still innovating business solutions Asha has highlighted
the paradigm shifts which B-Schools should develop to enable
new mental architecture amongst graduates.
Manoj Kohli, President and CEO, Bharti Airtel
Shaping Business Leaders: What BSchools Dont Do examines the
widespread impression that young professionals graduating from Indias
business schools are constantly job hopping, focus more on their own
gains and lack entrepreneurship skills. Bhandarker reiterates that Indias
top B-schools have to traverse miles to achieve their self-proclaimed
motto of identifying and training future business leaders. They must re-
examine their educational paradigm, course structure and pedagogy,
and realign the competencies and disposition of their faculty.

KNOWLEDGE LEADERSHIP
Tools for Executive Leaders
C Lakshman Tata Management Centre, Pune
The focus of this book is on leaders and their use of knowledge
management in effectively leading their organisations for
achieving high performance. Organisations of all sizes
and vertical expertise have come full circle to realise that
communication of best practices, not application of technology,
is at the heart of knowledge management`s ability to meet
business goals and user needs. Leadership is needed to foster
the climate, the practices and the incentives for knowledge
sharing.
VISIONThe Journal of Business Perspective
Knowledge Leadership: Tools for Executive Leaders explains the
concept of Knowledge Leadership by analyzing the strategies and tools
of information and knowledge management. The book uses case studies
of successful executive leaders such as Jack Welch and Michael Dell to
examine Knowledge Leadership practices. The discourse covers global
industries ranging from automobile to retail.

THE ART OF BUSINESS LEADERSHIP
Indian Experiences
S Balasubramanian GRG School of Management Studies, Coimbatore
The Art of Business Leadership is a good attempt by Professor
Balasubramanian to map leadership styles in paradigm. While
many of the leaders have been interviewed, profiled, written
about exhaustively in the various pink papers and business
magazines, and now in business channels, this may be the rare
occasion their views have been featured in a book. The selection
of companies is an interesting mix of the public and private
sector and also the leaders from a cross-section of the industry
from engineering to pharmaceuticals, telecom and services.
The book is a mix of the pedantic theory and interesting real
life business.

DEREGULATION AND COMPETITION
Lessons from the Airline Industry
Jagdish N Sheth Emory University, Atlanta, Fred C Allvine Georgia
Institute of Technology, Georgia, Can Uslay Chapman University,
California and Ashutosh Dixit Cleveland State University, Cleveland
This thought-provoking book chronicles the evolution of the airline
industry and explains what lies ahead for airlines across the globe.
Taking the US airline industry as an in-depth case study, the authors
present compelling evidence on how the paradigm shift that is taking
place in the airline industry is linked to the big-bang approach to
deregulation.
There are lessons to be learned from the US, as Europe and Asia
undergo airline deregulation from a public policy as well as a corporate
perspective. This book also addresses the crucial question of what will
happen to the airlines that are in turmoil. In addition to the comprehensive
analysis of the airline industrys evolution, the authors draw from extant
theory as well as from their own research to predict and explain which
airlines are likely to fly high and which are likely to face `turbulence` in
the domestic and international markets.

CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
Applications in Marketing
Robert East Kingston University, Malcolm Wright University of
South Australia and Marc Vanhuele HEC School of Management
A wonderful (and very unusual) balance between areas of
marketing that are often at odds with each other (or, worse
yet, unaware of each other) I recommend it to any student,
researcher, or manager in marketing.
Peter Fader, Frances and Pei-Yuan Chia Professor
and Professor of Marketing, Wharton School,
University of Pennsylvania
Written in a focused and accessible form by respected marketing
academics, Consumer Behaviour helps readers to develop analytical
and evidence-based thinking in marketing and avoid more formulaic
approaches that lack the support of research. With a strong focus on
the use of research, this book will really appeal to the specific needs of
higher-level students.
The book covers important material that is often missing in consumer
behaviour texts. For example, whole chapters are devoted to brand
loyalty, brand equity, biases in decision-making, word of mouth, the
response to price and the effect of advertising. Shorter reviews cover
evidence on topics such as loyalty programmes, the response to delay
and retail atmospherics. Chapters are quite short and divided into
sections. Each chapter contains exercises designed to draw out key
ideas and consolidate understanding, and there are suggestions for
further reading.

SERVICES MARKETING AND MANAGEMENT
Audrey Gilmore University of Ulster
Services Marketing and Management is not about the
burgeoning services sector. Dr Audrey Gilmores slim study
of services is more about how services are conceptualised,
designed and managed. [Dr Gilmore] analyses different service
sectors like financial services, tourism, charities and museums.
She then dwells on contemporary issues for service managers
and the challenges for services marketing.

This comprehensive book lucidly explains how services are
conceptualized, designed and managed, while providing a clear
understanding of the multi-dimensional nature of the sector. Addressing
in detail the critical question of services management, the author
provides an in-depth exposition of how services are managed from
within service organizations and from a managerial perspective as
well. The book also analyses several different service contexts such as

MANAGING YOUR SALES FORCE
A Motivational Approach
Pingali Venugopal XLRI, Jamshedpur
Salespersons occupy a vital position in most organizations yet they tend not
to hold their profession in high esteem. According to the author of this book,
unless salespersons take pride in their work, they are unlikely to perform to
the best of their abilities. This, in turn, is bound to affect the organization in
terms of both its growth and its profit. Pingali Venugopal approaches the
sales management function from the motivational dimension in order to
revive the lost vocational esteem in the sales profession.
Divided into two sections, this book

CUSTOMER IN THE BOARDROOM?
Crafting Customer-Based Business Strategy
Rama Bijapurkar Leading Market Strategist and Expert in Consumer
Behaviour
Is the Customer In Your Boardroom?
Rama Bijapurkars book comes right at the time when one was
reconciled to think that there was no thought leader in India who
was thinking of putting the customer at the core of the strategic
exercise. Ramas book mixes anecdote, theory and practice in a
way that will be found immensely useful by every business leader
who needs to make the customer central to business strategy.
K V Kamath, Chairman, ICICI Bank and
Chairman, Infosys Ltd
The business strategies of most companies in India are marked by the
supply-sided, tunnel vision of the market and obsessively competitor-
centred approaches.
Customer in the Boardroom? highlights the need for companies to
embed customer centricity into the heart of their business strategy
development process if they are to continue to grow profitably and
secure their future. Rama Bijapurkar presents a compelling treatise on
how to develop business strategy around the world of customers rather
than the world of competitors. She draws a sharp distinction between
the market = industry size and the market = customers with needs
bases for developing business strategy.
The book proposes Customer-Based Business Strategy (CBBS), a lucid
and simple framework for the successful assimilation of customer-centricity
in business strategy. The framework provides a blueprint for defining and
choosing market segments, developing rivalry propositions, creating value
delivery systems, reading markets and gaining customer insight, reading
macro trends, strengthening strategy foundation analyses, removing
organizational roadblocks and more. The book draws on the authors vast
experience in consulting and teaching and places equal emphasis on both
the theory and the practice of bringing the customer into the boardroom.

THIRD EDITION!
THE INDIAN MEDIA BUSINESS
Vanita Kohli-Khandekar Independent media consultant and writer
The third edition of Khandekars book moves away from the first two
in many ways. It has two new chapterson events and out-of-home
mediasegments not covered by any business book so far. It has case
studies on a host of companies and issuesfrom The Times Group to the
future of newspapers to why the Indian animation business cant take off.
The biggest difference however is that it tackles, for the first time,
textural issues within various industry segments. There is a portion on
ethics and falling standards in Indian media and on private treaties. It
tells you why TV broadcasting is going to be trouble for some years
to come, why the film industry is destined for bigger things and why
telecom operators will have a tough time becoming media barons.
This is in addition to the books basic promise of being an in-depth study
of the Indian media business. It provides, as usual, the business history,
dynamics, technology, regulation, valuation norms and industry trends
in print, television, film, radio, music, internet, telecom, out-of-home
media and events.

CASE STUDY RESEARCH
What, Why and How?
Peter Swanborn
Case Study Research: What, Why and How? is an authoritative
and nuanced exploration of the many faces of case-based research
methods. As well as the what, how and why, the author also examines
the when and which - always with an eye on practical applications to the
design, collection, analysis and presentation of the research.
Case study methodology can prove a confusing and fragmented topic.
In bringing diverse notions of case study research together in one
volume and sensitising the reader to the many varying definitions and
perceptions of `case study`, this book equips researchers at all levels
with the knowledge to make an informed choice of research strategy.
