Lord Indian management approach: Speech by Dr N Gopalakrishnan in English

Indian management approach
By Dr N Gopalakrishnan, the director of IISH, a Great Scholar of Scientific Indian heritage, speaks about the concept of Indian management in English language.

A short Review of the speech is given below.
In this lecture series we focus on Indian management. Majority of Indians always thinks that there are no books written in India on management! But we have got a series of management books explaining very bit knowledge of management. In India we look both the ruler and the ruled in an integrated vision, that mean the physical, psychological, social, national, spiritual, ethical, moral based management studies. Almost all the books written India either as independent book, or as a part of Upanishads, gives us messages-upadeshasara really based on the management concepts a leader should know.

In Viduraneetisaram to dritarashtra, he was given a detailed description, how a king should rule the nation. The bhishma upadesha given to Dharmaputra at Kurukshetra battle field consist hundreds of Management Messages that a king should know.

32000 slokas-upadeshasara-messages given by vasishta on management in Ramayana to Rama when he hesitated to take charge of Yuvaraja (New king) and hearing the upadeshasara Rama encouraged in taking charge as the Yuvaraja.

Chanakya neetisaram gives hundreds of management messages an individual should know, whether he is a king, leader, businessman etc.

Bhartrihari neetisaram..upadeshasaram- also touches the principles of management deeply.
Bhagavat gita also contains 680 points on management that a leader and king or even an individual should follow, as Sri krishna’s messages to Arjuna

In india, the management studies concentrates on Dharma (morals) and not KAMA (desire). According to Indian management Udyamam (entrepreneurship), sahasam (quality to take challenge), dharyam(courage) , budhi (intelligence ), shakti (power ), parakramam( capacity to undertake any challenge ) are the Six qualities needed for an individual to be a manager. If these six qualities are in an individual, he is eligible to become a leader, and God blessings (kripa) will be automatically attained. That is what bhishma advised dharmaputra in battle field.
