Description:

Culture is critical to individuals and organizations. This book takes a close look into the way Indian managers work, their inner struggles, and forces that shape their behaviour. It presents an original framework developed by the author ¿ the Existential Universe Mapper (EUM), a pluralistic and non-reductionist model of management that uses a new psychometric instrument to map individual and organization identity. The model restrains from placing any phenomenon into frozen categories and enables an understanding of their interplay. The volume points to India¿s ambivalent relationship with modernity, and the consequent difficulty of Indian managers in embracing the imperatives of the corporate world that are largely based on Anglo-Saxon frames.

With analyses based on data from over 100 organizations and 4500 managers, the book argues that the gap between the Indian cultural perspective and the prevalent ways of the corporate world is both a boon and a burden. An integration of the two perspectives could help achieve phenomenal results and this may well be the way forward in the global context.

This book will be of interest to those in business management, human resource management, leadership studies, corporate governance, industries, education, social sector, governance, psychology, and sociology. It will be particularly relevant for scholars, educators, consultants, practitioners of management and corporate leaders. Professionals who employ psychometric tools, recruitment firms, coaches and consultants involved with assessment centres, career planning, counselling and mentoring will find it extremely useful.
