Résumé
Management of Corporate Greatness By Pradip N Khandwalla Dorling Kindersley (India) Private Limited, Licensees of Pearson Education in South Asia, 2008, pp. 371; Price: Rs. 335 ISBN: 978-81-317-0075-5 Management of Corporate Greatness is an important book as it forwards a new paradigm in management and addresses an important question that lies at the heart of economic and managerial science: is it possible for corporations to follow the path of virtuous philanthropic strivings without sacrificing their direct business goal of profit maximization? The book is a meta-research on major civilizational concern of managing greed and goodness together in business world. The book has its origin in a conference on wisdom and courage where the author presents the need for businesses to show 'wisdom', that is, enlightened self interest and to show 'courage', that is, abiding by moral values in business decisions. this book, the author stresses on the need to manage greatness and prescribes the ways that enable corporations to strive successfully for excellence in the pursuit of both profit and goodness. Various paths of company altruism have been explicated with real life examples that detail on how to pursue them, the benefits accrued and the way forward. The book is addressed to the whole society that is suffering from ever increasing materialism and greed. The roots of the book lay in the increasing number of reported corporate misconducts and frauds across the globe due to rapacious managerial philosophy of earning profits in any way. The work has gained more relevance in this downturn wherein managers are too stressed on survival and profitability of their organizations and are more likely to be carried away by the easier paths of unfair practices. The author has raised this important issue on business civilization that is being crafted by business institutions and business schools - if it is humane or only mercenary. Alternatively, it is a spiritual awakening call to the worldly man to get out of maya or illusion and do the best for society, being a responsible part of it. Since the losses caused by corporate greed surpass employees' and promoters' stakes and dent the image of a nation, it is high time for corporate managers to look within and balance greed with goodness. The concept is based on the Gandhian philosophy of trusteeship. The managers are the trustees of the interest of all the stakeholders including society, owners, customers, investors, and employees. As author has noted, In making decisions, the purity of means is as much emphasised as the securing of business goals. The emphasis is on honesty, a spirit of sacrifice, commitment to the welfare of others, and dedication to great social ideals. The national philosophy of regulatory management to check these business misconducts raises compliance cost for companies and regulatory apparatus for the country. Moreover, since the regulatory costs are also associated with regulatory corruption, it is imperative to promote sensitivity towards business ethics within the managers and the corporations. The corporate misconduct includes bribing government officials, producing poor products, using misleading advertisements, unethical competition practices, employee exploitation (gender or community-based), strong arm tactics to make customer pay, doctoring of accounts, insider trading and wrongfully influencing government policies. The author has quoted the misconduct on part of managers in Worldcom, Enron, Hutton, Kidders Peabody, MiniScribe, Manville Corporation (all US), Livent (Canada), NEC, Mitsubishi, Show (all Japan), Daewoo, Hyundai ( both Korean), Parmalat (Italy), BCCI (UK), that have proved to be expensive for majority of the stakeholders. These corporate misdoings had motivated the author to look at ways in which the strength of market economy can be harnessed without stringent regulatory enforcement by initiating a self drive within managers to make their business more humane and successful without losing business values. …

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
