Exprovement
Author: R.A. Mashelkar
Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9357080252
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Can an outdated or failed solution in one industry bring disruption to another? Can a racing team improve industrial manufacturing productivity? Can science fiction offer entrepreneurs valuable lessons in innovative thinking? Such examples lie at the core of exprovement, which is an exponential improvement borne out of drawing parallels between the seemingly unrelated. Henry Ford revolutionized the automotive industry by comparing and correlating his business with the meat-packing industry. Through the various examples highlighted in this book, Hersh Haladker and Raghunath Mashelkar emphasize that searching for growth opportunities within an offering's existing industry usually results in incremental improvement, whereas exponential improvement can be achieved by drawing parallels from outside of the current context. This book will inspire leaders to look outward for parallels, keeping in mind that 'obvious' comparisons can at best lead to improvement, whereas 'unexpected' ones can lead to exponential improvement and perpetuate a legacy of innovation.

Reinventing India
Author: Stuart Corbridge
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0745666043
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
When India was invented as a "modern" country in the years after Independence in 1947 it styled itself as a secular, federal, democratic Republic committed to an ideology of development. Nehru's India never quite fulfilled this promise, but more recently his vision of India has been challenged by two "revolts of the elites": those of economic liberalization and Hindu nationalism. These revolts have been challenged, in turn, by various movements, including those of India's "Backward Classes". These movements have exploited the democratic spaces of India both to challenge for power and to contest prevailing accounts of politics, the state and modernity. Reinventing India offers an analytical account of the history of modern India and of its contemporary reinvention. Part One traces India's transformation under colonial rule, and the ideas and social forces which underlay the deliberations of the Constituent Assembly in 1946 to consider the shaping of the post-colonial state. Part Two then narrates the story of the making and unmaking of this modern India in the period from 1950 to the present day. It pays attention to both economic and political developments, and engages with the interpretations of India's recent history through key writers such as Francine Frankel, Sudipta Kaviraj and Partha Chatterjee. Part Three consists of chapters on the dialectics of economic reform, religion, the politics of Hindu nationalism, and on popular democracy. These chapters articulate a distinct position on the state and society in India at the end of the century, and they allow the authors to engage with the key debates which concern public intellectuals in contemporary India. Reinventing India is a lucid and eminently readable account of the transformations which are shaking India more than fifty years after Independence. It will be welcomed by all students of South Asia, and will be of interest to students of comparative politics and development studies.
