Get off the Giant Wheel! ''Strategy'' and ''innovation'' are terms that have increasingly lost their meaning in today''s cut-throat business environment. This book gives these words a fresh meaning to advocate new pathways for change, showing us how to turn grave adversities into lifetime opportunities. Knowledge Ocean Strategy shows us how companies like Aquachill, AirTight Networks, Serum Institutes, Mapro, Ketan Food Exports, PARI, Tata Group, Chitale Dairies and Aditya Auto Test could find simple, refreshing solutions to complex problems to create their own uncontested knowledge space. In this seminal book, innovation strategist and knowledge innovation expert, Parag Kulkarni challenges competition-based strategies and those based on a mere ''more for less'' paradigm using classic examples to unfold effective strategies based on associative knowledge building. In the midst of fierce competition and a turbulent market, Knowledge Ocean Strategy presents an important breakthrough in innovation and strategic business thinking and will be a great motivator for organisations that aim to expand knowledge boundaries beyond competitive landscape. It will also help making the transition from competition- to knowledge- centric; analysis- to synthesis-centric and isolation- to association-centric organization building; a systematic approach for a big leap and knowledge advantage.

Books on management and organizations usually ignore the human factor. This unorthodox book marks a radical departure in how organizations should be understood. It deals with human issues and relationships between groups. Though serious, it makes for easy reading and is written with humour. How Organizations Really Work is the perfect companion for an employee at any level; for those who want to step back and look objectively at what''s happening around them and make sense of it. It is also for management students accustomed to impractical diets of theory. Exclusive mind-maps at the end of each chapter help the reader make connections between the concepts discussed and entities, while the wildly funny stories provide a much-needed welcome break. Beginning with the reasons why organizations exist, the author examines how authority flows down from the board to everyone else. Marketing, Sales, Human Resources, Finance, Information Systems and Operations are examined first theoretically and then through the eyes of a practitioner who knows where theory falls short.

Understanding leadership is really about understanding life, and this starts with gaining an understanding of the self. Traditional management approaches, based on ''scientific'' analysis, cannot contribute much towards understanding leadership. This book shows how leadership can be better understood by reading and interpreting masterpieces of world literature, and relating them to leadership issues. The book starts with Cervantes'' masterpiece Don Quixote, whose main character asserts, ''I know who I am'', and believes in himself. This is followed by other works to highlight important issues: ambition and purpose in Chinua Achebe''s Things Fall Apart, faith vs. reason in Bertolt Brecht''s The Life of Galileo, awakening the human spirit in Bernard Shaw''s Saint Joan, authenticity in Girish Karnad''s Tughlaq, and the old Sanskrit play Mudra Rakshasa by Visakhadatta, leaders and society in Arthur Miller''s All My Sons, the role of illusions in Ibsen''s The Wild Duck, taking a stand in A Dolls'' House, the epic Mahabharata for development of perspective, and Herman Hesse''s Siddhartha for understanding the process of self-development and realisation of one''s potential. Based on the experience of the authors teaching a course on leadership for the last 20 years at the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, this is an enlightening and illuminating read for both academicians and corporate leaders.

What does it take to be a stock market guru? What are the traits needed to be a successful investor? Can one master the stock market or is it a gift one is born with? How does one build a portfolio and protect it? Learn from the masters. The Indian stock market is many things to many people. Some are drawn to its thrill and promise but, more often than not, they fail to recognize the risk that accompanies the reward of a great ride.

However, within the universe of market watchers in India, there is a small group that has managed to build a fine set of navigation tools and develop a unique perspective and approach towards the market. They have created and institutionalized investment strategies based on their experiences and philosophies. Saurabh Mukherjea delves into the minds of seven such individuals asking them to elaborate on the tools they use and how these work. He traces their journey from being novices to successful long-term investors. Using their insights and his own experience of working in the market for nearly a decade, Mukherjea provides an essential and indispensable framework for operating in the Indian stock market.
