The first part of the book comprises rich conceptual papers and research-based empirical papers written primarily by thought leaders from all over the world. The second part comprises dialogs with persons who are well known in the business landscape as "change masters." The chapters discuss cutting-edge ideas in the areas of corporate behavior, positioning, growth, leadership, employee relations, and so on.
Together, the articles and interviews will help readers develop perspective, cognitive framework, behavioral repertoire, and portfolio of practices for making the transition from simply functioning to achieving excellence.
Towards the Next Orbit: A Corporate Odyssey is a succinct analysis of what is in store for, and what is expected of, the HR professionals in the remaining decades of the millennium. The book deserves to be read by every aspiring HR professional.
The book is divided into two parts. Part one consists of papers with a dominant academic flavor…these papers cover a wide range of topics…The second part consists of interviews with some prominent business people on a variety of issues. These interviews are rich in data, and offer a valuable glimpse into the beliefs some corporate chieftains of India hold about business environment, problems faced and likely to face, strategic choices made, and what succeeds…this book will prove useful for practitioners groping for innovative and spirited ideas.
