Preamble

 

Globally, corporate entities are in a melting pot. On one hand they face serious challenges of growth and sustainability. On the other hand, several intra-firm challenges remain despite evolution in man­agement theories and practice. Creating "high performing or­ganizations" that can be proud of nurturing highly inspired and self-driven individuals who can manage sustainable institutions that can harmoniously exist with the natural eco-system and at the same time enjoy quality of work life as well as personal life still remain a distant dream.

 

Today, India has caught the attention of global business for its mar­ket, services, people, and products.  It is an appropriate time to ask "Can India leverage this global attention to help the corpo­rate world with a new paradigm of corporate governance and management?" Indian Tradition has considered "Dharma" as the pivot of all human endeavor.  Enterprises and organizations were successfully run on the basis of Dharma in India.  Kingdoms of Janaka, Rama, Yamahas, Yudhishtira down to Hakka and Bukka and Krishna Deva Raya, ran such large public enterprises. 

 

The philosophical part of Dharma has been discussed in various scriptures and the operative part has been enunciated in various Smrithis, the two epics and texts such as Bhagavadgita. Collec­tively, the scriptures have covered various aspects of enterprise management including the management of people and relationships. One of the distinguishing aspects of our tradition has been that the earth, environment and the entire cosmos have been treated as an intrinsic and integral part of all systems, including business enter­prises.  As a result, environmental and sustainability issues became an integral part of the approach.

 

The seminar provides a forum for discussion on these issues.  It specifically seeks to focus on the following aspects of interest to to­day's corporate leaders and business managers: 

· What are the fundamental problems that business entities face to­day?

· Is there an overarching framework that we can develop from the ancient Indian wisdom that would help us construct alternative per­spectives to address these problems?

· Are there some specific ideas from our scriptures that may be of interest to today's business?

· Are there any attempts by some of our industry leaders to borrow ideas from ancient Indian wisdom? What has been the experience and what do we have to learn from these?
