Managing India
S.L. Rao
About the Book
<p>This book considers what we must do to make India a consistently improving socio-economy. Despite many creative ideas from dedicated leaders, we remain a very poor country.</p>
<p>There is little manufacturing, a stumbling agriculture, and around 300 million or so people with limited access to food, none to electricity and practically none to health and education. The primary reason for this is poor implementation of good ideas and policies. Effective implementation requires an understanding of the environment (political, social and economic), institutions and how they work, clear output targets, and systems to monitor, implement and change course when necessary. This is what good management is all about. India has not lacked in ideas for improving the economy and the society, but in managing them. The book looks at the context and suggests actions in different areas to improve the management of India.</p>
