MYSTERIES IN MANAGEMENT

Can managerial productivity be measured? In management, we continue to take many things for granted and not question the unthought, unexplained knowns. Why are women underrepresented in parliament and several corporate boards? Is management an art, a science, or a craft? Most practitioners merely skim over these conundrums, without ever delving into them. Professor Ajeet N. Mathur has designed an exciting, new course titled Mysteries in Management for the flagship MBA (PGP) program at IIM Ahmedabad, in which selected mysteries that continue to persist in the field of management are discussed. This book includes ten carefully selected mysteries and the author, armed with credible research and revealing examples, tries to demystify them. Accessible and eminently readable, the logic behind these will surprise and delight readers in equal measure.
