Contemporary Management-A Mythological Perspective

CNBC TV18 has come up with a new show titled Business Sutra. Menaka Doshi hosts the show with a interesting person called Devdutt Pattanaik.

What is interesting about this show is that it discusses modern day management issues like corporate governance, leadership, ethics, business life cycle etc with a mythological context. Mr. Devdutt Pattnaik, Chief Belief Officer, Future Group and also a mythologist works out solutions and applications using the history, myths, symbols and stories from across the world for such issues.

For Instance, he uses characters like Shekchilli, Gobar Ganesh, Gangu Teli and Raja Bhoj  to describe the different kind of employees and their relative importance in an organisation.

Amazing stuff... More and more, i have begun to feel that we are too REDUCTIONISTIC in our thinking, and losing sight of the big picture. And the big picture is central to Indian philosophy.
For instance,your actions (Karma)lead to consequences beyond your current life- We may or may not believe this, but the philosophy certainly forces you to consider long term, the big picture.

Yeah its true MAD HATRICK that today's world has become myopic...
and it would surely be facing its consequence in the coming future....
One of the basic teaching of the Hinduism is of "Karma is Dharma" based on the principle "what goes around comes around"...But i feel sad for us as most of us have lost it due to the sham preachers of today's Religion...
