Follow on Google News | Arindam Chaudhuri's Theory I: Develop India Centric Management Styles For Managing IndiansEVERYTHING Indian is so cool outside India. Bhangra and Indi pop find place in the US pop charts.
By: Pankaj Negi This is what the research sample had to say: Indians value bonds, emotions and long-term relationships. We value growth opportunities and commitment Our cultural roots of tolerance often make us complacent Lack of patriotism and accountability at a macro level leaves us aimless. "If there is no commitment from the company, then likewise, there is none from the employee. The absence of caring is affecting performance," Arindam Chaudhuri recommends the problem be addressed by an indigenous management style. The rationale: Americans are doing well with the contract culture. Since emotional security is not something that they grow up with, this management style motivates them to work harder. The Japanese, on the other hand, have concepts like lifetime employment because their culture believes in a strong sense of family and community ties. "IBM-USA was making losses while IBM-Japan was making profits. When IBM-USA tried to adopt the Japanese management style, their losses went up. What I am trying to say is that on one hand we harp about our culture while on the other we overlook it completely when it comes to managing our people," illustrates Arindam Chaudhuri. A local solution to our problem would mean addressing the lack of people-focused leadership, which is creating a dehumanising effect "People have no guilt anymore. We are witnessing the complete criminalisation of society. If this is allowed to continue, it will become a way of life, says Arindam Chaudhuri. He carries the leadership debate to the macro level, suggesting that since growth for both the corporate sector and the economy in the long run depends upon the purchasing power of the people in the country, companies should actively support pro-poor policies in their own long-term business interest. "Companies must do more for the poor. Sony's Akio Morita had a 200-year-vision for the company, let Indian firms start with at least a 50-year vision," he says. Arindam Chaudhuri questions the role of industry bodies like the CII and FICCI in taking initiative in this regard. He points out that China attracts more FDI because their people have purchasing power. "The World Bank says that in the history of the world no other country has brought as many people (170 million) above the poverty line in the last 20 years." # # # Planman Consulting since its inception in 1996 has evolved into India's largest multi interest consulting company.
