Management in New Age: Western Windows Eastern Doors
Western Windows Eastern Doors,
Open them for the knowledge in store.- WWED, p.174
Management in New Age: Western Windows Eastern Doors (2006)
Increased global contacts have necessitated that Western managers acquire greater understanding of the ‘Eastern Doors’, and Eastern managers look beyond the ‘Western Windows’. Concepts and frameworks presented in the book arise from this view for a new combination of management ideas from the West and the East to facilitate ‘holistic globalization’.
Using the methodology of position-opposition-proposition, discussion-dialogue-discourse and the innovative idea of ‘sabdh yoga’, this book looks at various perspective related to society, organizations and individuals with which managers in the new age have to contend. Accordingly, the foundations of the management in new age are based on Holistic Development and Management (HDM), Human Quality Development (HQD) and Total Quality of Mind (TQM).
The book explores the interlink ages between management thought, social discourse and spiritual concerns that constitute three foundational themes of the book. Through an integration of market, society and self, it articulates the vision of sacro-civic society and sacro-civic nations rooted in harmony paradigm that aims at a new balance between utilitarian, ecotarian and ethicotarian philosophies of life. It suggests the need for a paradigm shift from, ‘survival of the fittest to eliminate the rest’ to ‘arrival of the best to lead the rest’.

| Quintessential Views: |
This daring and thought provoking book combines Indian thought with more conventional Western social science theories. - Prof. Everett M Rogers in Foreword to the book |
I am fascinated by the variety of sources you have referred to in collecting a large number of ideas and correspondingly a large number of concepts. I think your concepts of Human Quality Development (rather than HRD), inspirational motivation (rather than intrinsic motivation), basket of needs (vs hierarchy of needs), etc., are very promising. - Prof. Jai B P Sinha, ANS Institute of Social Studies, Patna |
Stimulating and inspiring … I regard chapters 1, 2 & 4 to be very useful as a comprehensive critique of foundational premises of current thinking-both generally and in the management world. - Prof. S K Chakraborty, IIM Calcutta |
Focus is on utility maximization being not enough for unfolding human potential … suggested theories like “Theory K”, “OSHA-model of behaviour”, “MBA-model (manas buddhi ahamkar) of decision making”, “Managerial Purushartha” etc. are based on Indian philosophy and psychology. - Swami Someshawarananda, Ramakrishna Mission |
Its taxonomies of management theories and approaches to theorizing are thought provoking. - Dr. M B Athreya, Athreya Management Systems |
