Indian lessons in organizational issues

Abstract

Reports on a lecture tour in India, featuring the main themes of change, culture, conflicts and creativity, and examines current Western organizational trends, such as: “decent” behaviour; “cashing out”; the notion of “gold‐collar workers”; and the increasing visibility of women entrepreneurs. Draws an analogy between an organization and a ship in order to demonstrate how to create a culture which can cope effectively with a rapid rate of change.
