We, as Indians have a unique living style and social system which needs the support of our own economic and business management system to develop an efficient society and economy.
Hence, we should bring changes to the management courses and produce such managers who are skilled to work in our economy as per our unique needs.
Our ancient management systems were working on the sustainability of the planet rather than encouraging consumerism.
Take example of Mahabharata, which deserve thorough study of the applied management concepts as below.
Innovative Thinking-There were 100 Kauravas. They were not naturally born but made with the help of test tube technology.
It is said that Duryodhan was the first test-tube baby in the world. There were no Laboratories at that time.
It was done with the help of mud pots which provided the required temperature for the growth of an embryo and worked as test tubes.
It was basically an invention but the result of innovative thinking. Selection of Resources-When the battle was going to begin, most of the other armies were also involved by the Kauravas and the Pandavas; Arjun and Duryodhan went to ask for favors from king Krishna also.
Arjun asked Krishna himself to work as the driver of his Chariot. On the other hand, Duryodhan asked for his army.
Krishna and his leadership with the Pandavas were one of the major reasons behind the victory of the Pandavas.
He guided them at every step. He played the role of the most important human resource. When it comes to management, it is very necessary to select the right resources. That is human resources. The selection of the right resources is therefore significant.
Following the Learning of Management Books-Before the beginning of the battle, Arjun lost his confidence and passion to win the battle.
Lord Krishna gave an insight into the realities of life with the help of Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. It is believed to be the solution to all the problems in the world.
The solution to all the problems related to the challenges can be easily found in the most valuable management books. It is important for all the anagers to understand the importance of the learnings of Management.
Ethics-The Kauravas always followed the path of dishonesty ,the Pandavas always followed ethical principles since their birth.
They came back from forest and asked for their kingdom back but Duryodhan refused and the Mahabharat took place.
The companies that don’t follow the ethical path don’t survive in the long run. Commitment -Most of the leaders like Bhishma,
Dronacharya fought on behalf of the Kauravas even when they knew that they would lose the battle and their lives.
They had their chances of disrespecting the kingdom of Hastinapur which was under the Kauravas and moving to the Pandavas but they did not.
This is a management lesson because it should be followed by all the employees that they should not keep hopping from one company to another for a little increment in the salary.
They should remain loyal to a company if they find the work culture suitable. None of the fighters from the Kauravas cheated, this also teaches the management lesson of being loyal to the customer and the company.
More People, More Work Sometimes the companies tend to lay people off to maximize profits. However, if the value addition is done to a maximum number of people there are more chances of getting success and building a great brand image with mouth publicity because employees and their families are the effortless loyal customers to the company.
The Kauravas and the Pandavas understood the importance of manpower and tried to increase the size of their armies as much as possible. Diplomacy-Dronacharya was the teacher of the Kauravas and Pandavas. He was extremely powerful and knowledgeable.
It was necessary for the Pandavas to kill. However, the Pandavas had to kill Dronacharya; Yudhishthir answered for an elephant named Ashwathama who was killed by Bheem.
His answer was-‘Ashwathama has died’. This is how Yudhishthir spoke to Dronacharya diplomatically without speaking a lie and Dronacharya was killed.
Diplomacy plays an important role in getting products sold. It is an important part of marketing communication and influencing customers through advertisements. It is the art of presentation to appeal to the customers.
PR Maintenance-Maintaining Public Relations is one of the most accurate keys to success. It helps in getting the right quality support from the right people at the right time.
It was a result of the public relations maintained by Dhritarashtra with Bhishma , Dronacharya, and other important leaders who were willing to support the Kauravas even when they knew the result.
This can be applied to management as good Public Relations must be maintained with the employees, suppliers, wholesalers, and other entities of the external environment. It is very helpful in surviving in the hard times of the business cycle.
Division of Work-Mahabharata is an excellent example of the principle of division of work. Bheem, the strongest of all the Pandavas, with the power of a hundred elephants;.
Nakul was given the role of assisting Bheem. He also played a prominent role in healing the wounds of the Kauravas because of his command over Ayurved.
Sahadev was an expert with swords who killed Shakuni .Arjun was a great warrior and the best archer of the world.
Arjun selected Krishna to become his driver so that he could be guided at every point of time. Shikhandi, stood before Bheeshma to shield Arjun Yudhishthir was the king after the battle and he was responsible for twisting various rules so that the victory of the ethics took place.
This is how it is important to give the right work to the employees according to their skills and talent.
Women Empowerment-Last but not the least, women empowerment is one of the most important management lessons to be learned by the Mahabharat.
The sheer misbehavior done by Draupadi became the foundation of the Mahabharat. The respect for women was to be imparted to the coming generations through the battle.
After years of ignorance, Fair Sex has now been recognized as an important part of society and the Corporate World. Many companies have made sure that 50% of the employees are women in all positions.
Now we conclude that much of modern management principles existing today can be derived from the body of aknowledge from Mohabharat.
