Bhagwadgita & Management: What They should Teach in B-schools

The Srimad BhagwadGita, the song divine is a complete treatise on management. Contrary to the general perception, the Gita is not a religious document. It is a veritable storehouse of profound practical knowledge in the spiritual space. The primary focus here is on managing the self, the external environment, interpersonal-relationship, how to live one’s life and do business on sound ethical principles in the socio-economic context. It helps you to find your goal in life and guides you to pursue it with a mission. 

An attempt has been made in this book to sift out of the vast ocean of wisdom and knowledge enshrined in 3,00,000 words of Gita, pieces that are relevant for the entire humanity designed to lead the reader on the path of excellence. The issue of leadership, power of thought, corporate social responsibility, management of change, the self and psychological approach to management, are some of the important areas that have been dealt with extensively. Management principles of the Gita, lay special emphasis on development of an individual, and provide an alternative to the current paradigm of management practices. Any part of a whole must represent its characteristics. Good managers, duly motivated are the most valuable asset of any corporate entity. This book, though written primarily for business students, is meant for all ages and holds a universal appeal.
