Abstract

This research paper focuses on the fact  that despite learning so many Management theories from USA, Japan and other developed countries we in India continue to face problems in running our institutions and organisations. The problems manifest through gherao, lockouts, labour agitations, pen down strikes, go slow movements and finally sick industries knocking doors of BIFR. Why can’t the Indian goods compete in the global markets? We often find the Managers blame their own team members: they are laggards, irresponsible and disobedient. Is it really true or we are following outdated theories and ideas in Managing people? Behavioural psychology is an integral element of management science. While we teach American and Japanese methods at our Business schools and universities what is it that we have done to evolve the Indian method or system?

Through this research paper  the author has tried to establish relevance of Indian Management recognising the influence of cultural approach. Besides, the author could articulate and recognise the varied and diverse thoughts and thinkers on Indian Management.
